内皮素对黑素瘤A375细胞转化生长因子-β1及磷酸化Smad 3蛋白表达的调节

Objective To investigate the effects ofendothelin-1 (ET-1) and endothelin-3 (ET-3) on the expression of transformation growth factor-beta 1 (TGF-β1) and phosphorylation of Smad 3 in malignant melanoma cell line, A375. Methods Cultured A375 cells were classified into 5 groups, i.e. control group (no stimulation), ET-1 group (stimulated with ET-1), ET-1+BQ123 group (treated with ET-1 and BQ123),ET-1 + BQ788 group (treated with ET-1 and BQ788), ET-3 group (stimulated with ET-3), to receive different stimulation. The working concentrations were 0, 0.1, 1, 10, 100 nmol/L for ET-1 and ET-3, 10 μmol/L for BQ123 and BQ788. After another 12- and 24-hour culture, ELISA, RT-PCR and Western blot were used to detect the expression of TGF-β1 protein and mRNA as well as phosphorylated Smad 3 (P-Smad 3). Results The expression of TGF-β1 in A375 cells was up-regulated by ET-1, but down-regulated by ET-3, and both of the effects were in a concentration-dependent manner. Under the stimulation with ET-1 and ET-3 of 100 nmol/L, the level of TGF-β1 reached 1289.38 ± 89.42 ng/L per 105 cells and 85.09 ± 9.37 ng/L per 105 cells, respectively, significantly different from that in unstimulated cells (both P < 0.05). BQ123 signifi-cantly blocked the up-regnlatory effect of ET-1 on the expression TGF-β1 protein(P < 0.05), but BQ788 had no significant influence on the effect, so was the case with TGF-β1 mRNA. Western blot revealed that ET-1significantly elevated the expression of P-Smad 3 in A375 cells (P <0.05), and the elevation was significantly inhibited by BQ123, but not by BQ788. The expression of P-Smad 3 was statistically decreased by ET-3 in A375 cells (P <0.05). Conclusions The expression of TGF-β1 could be enhanced by ET-1, but suppressed by ET-3. It is likely that endothelin receptor A mediates the phosphorylation of Smad 3 induced by ET-1.

目的 探讨内皮索家族(ET)对恶性黑素瘤(MM)A375细胞转化生长因子betal(TGF-β1)表达的差异性调节及对TGF-β信号通路蛋白smad 3磷酸化水平的影响.方法 ELISA、RT-PCR技术测定不同浓度ET-1、ET-3(0、0.1、1、10、100 nmol/L)及其与内皮索受体阻断剂BQ123、BQ788联合干预下MM细胞TGF-β1在蛋白质和mRNA水平的表达.Western印迹法检测联合干预下A375细胞Smad 3蛋白磷酸化的表达.结果 ET-1对A375细胞(105细胞)TGF-β1蛋白表达的影响呈浓度依赖性上调,100 nmol/L浓度下达1289.38±89.42 ng/L(P<0.05);ET-3的作用与此相反,100 nmol/L浓度下表达仅为85.09±9.37 ng/L(P<0.05).BQ123明显阻断ET-1上调TGF-β1的效应(P<0.05),BQ788对此差异无统计学意义(P＞0.05);联合干预下,在TGF-β1 mRNA水平也表现出相同的趋势.Western印迹法检测磷酸化smad 3蛋白(P-smad 3)表达显示,ET-1显著上调P-Smad 3的表达(P<0.05),BQ123干预下其表达水平接近对照组(P＞0.05),BQ788不能阻断其对P-Smad 3表达的上调(P＞0.05);ET-3则明显抑制P-Smad 3的表达(P<0.05).结论 ET-1可诱导MM A375细胞TGF-β1的高表达,ET-3有相反的作用.ET受体-A介导ET-1诱导的TGF-β通路信号蛋白Smad 3的磷酸化.     

Demonstration in situ of subsets of T-lymphocytes in sarcoidosis

Five biopsy specimens of skin, four of lung, and one of a lymph node were taken from nine patients with sarcoidosis. Monoclonal antibodies were applied to frozen sections of the specimens by an immunoperoxidase technique to test for the presence and distribution of subsets of T-lymphocytes. T-cells expressing the suppressor/cytotoxic phenotype were found predominantly in lymphocytic mantles surrounding sarcoidal granulomas, whereas cells displaying the helper/inducer phenotype were distributed diffusely throughout granulomas. The ratio of helper to suppressor phenotypes in cutaneous sarcoidosis was 5.1 +/- 1.8. The microanatomic location of subpopulations of T-lymphocytes may be important in the pathogenesis of the granulomatous response of sarcoidosis.     

急性肾损伤早期诊断生物标记物的研究进展

急性肾损伤（acute kidney injury，AKI）一直是临床上一个头痛的问题。ICU收治患者中30％-50％是急性肾损伤，其中5％有明确的危险因子。有报道术后发生AKI患者的死亡率在24％-100％之间，重症监护室需要透析患者的死亡率为50％-70％。近年的研究认为，传统的血（肌酐、尿素氮）和尿标志物（管型、滤过钠排泄分数）对AKI的诊断缺乏一定的敏感性和特异性，所以AKI的治疗迫切需要早期生物标记物。但是，
