重组2型腺相关病毒-转化生长因子β3对实验性肝纤维化大鼠肝脏组织病理学和Ⅰ型胶原表达的影响

Objective To investgate the effects of TGF β 3 on rat hepatic fibrosis. Methods The TGF β 3 cDNA was cloned into rAAV2 vector. Rats were randomly divided into four groups: normal control group, model group, negative control group and TGF β 3 group. Hepatic fibrosis was induced by hypodermic injection of 40% CCI4. Recombinant AAV2-TGF β 3 viral particles were injected via the vena caudalis one week before CCh treatment. Rats were executed 8 weeks after CCI4 treatment, global histological change was observed after HE staining, the distribution of the collagen fibers was observed after masson staining, his-tochemistry was done to observe the expression of collagen Ⅰ; The positive area rate of the collagen fibers and the average optical rate of collagen Ⅰ were quantified. Results HE staining indicated that collagen fibers were reduced in the TGF β 3 group. Masson staining shown that the collagen fibers were distributed around the blood vessel, in the portal area and disse space. Compared to the model group (13.2%±2.2%) and negative control group (12.3%±1.5%), the collagen fibers in liver tissues of TGF β3 group (7.7% ± 1.5%) were significantly decreased (q = 9.456, P < 0.01; q = 8.217, P < 0.01). Histochemistry indicated that the collagen fibers of liver tissues of TGF 15 3 group (0.185±0.033) were significantly higher than those in the model group (0.252±0.042) and the negative control group (0.230±0.029), (q = 6.228, P < 0.01; q = 4.346, P < 0.01). Conclusion TGF β 3 alleviates the damage to hepatic cell and the level offibrosis in CCI4 treated rats and inhibits the expression of collagen Ⅰ.

Intestinal hormones and growth factors： Effects on the small intestine

There are various hormones and growth factors which may modify the intestinal absorption of nutrients, and which might thereby be useful in a therapeutic setting, such as in persons with short bowel syndrome. In part I, we focus first on insulin-like growth factors, epidermal and transferring growth factors, thyroid hormones and glucocorticosteroids. Part Ⅱ will detail the effects of glucagon-like peptide （GLP）-2 on intestinal absorption and adaptation, and the potential for an additive effect of GLP2 plus steroids.     

2型糖尿病肾病患者肾组织中血管内皮细胞生长因子及其受体的变化

目的了解血管内皮细胞生长因子(VEGF)及其受体(VEGF-R)在2型糖尿病肾病患者肾组织中的变化及其与糖尿病肾病(DN)临床与病理表现之间的关系.方法以正常肾组织为对照,采用特异性抗体和免疫组织化学染色方法,对30例DN患者肾组织中VEGF和VEGF-R的分布及其强度变化进行了观察,并结合临床及肾脏病理进行了分析.结果DN患者肾小球VEGF和VEGF-R无论在分布上,还是在强度变化上与正常人相比均有明显差异.DN患者肾小球VEGF和VEGF-R表达增加与患者蛋白尿(83.3%vs33.3%,P＜0.01)、糖尿病视网膜病变(66.7%vs16.7%,P＜0.01)关系密切,而与高血压,糖化血红蛋白水平之间无明显相关性.DN患者肾小球VEGF和VEGF-R表达增加还与肾小球内皮细胞损伤所致的一些组织形态学改变,如K-W结节(72.2%vs16.7%,P＜0.05)、肾小球内皮细胞增生(66.7%vs33.3%,P＜0.05)及微血管瘤形成(61.6%vs25.0%,P＜0.05)的发生显著相关.结论DN患者肾组织中VEGF及VEGF-R2的表达增加与DN患者的蛋白尿形成、糖尿病视网膜病变和内皮细胞损伤所致的形态学改变关系密切.VEGF介导了DN患者肾小球内皮细胞损伤和功能紊乱的发生.     

肝细胞生长因子激活调节机制的研究进展

肝细胞生长因子(hepatocyte growth factor,HGF)又称离散因子,最初是作为促大鼠肝细胞有丝分裂原而被发现的[1].最初分泌的HGF是无活性的,需激活变成它的活化形式才能发挥其生物学作用;尽管肝细胞生长因子激活因子(hepatocyte growth factor activator,HGFA)能够激活前HGF且在血浆中的浓度较高,但其在体内复杂微环境中的作用及其调节机制尚不完全清楚.     

风湿性心脏病心房颤动患者心房组织肝细胞生长因子结缔组织生长因子与转化生长因子β1基因表达的研究

目的 观察风湿性心脏病心房颤动患者心房组织中肝细胞生长因子(HGF)、结缔组织生长因子(CTGF)、转化生长因子(TGF)-β1基因表达的变化.方法 35例行心脏手术者于术中获取的右心耳(约200 mg)分为3组,风湿性心脏病27例,其中窦性心律者8例,慢性持续性心房颤动者19例(≥16个月),分别列为风湿性心脏病窦性心律组和风湿性心脏病心房颤动组,另先天性心脏病患者8例(均为窦性心律)作为对照组,以β-肌动蛋白为内参照基因,通过实时荧光定量聚合酶链反应(real time PCR)技术,测定各组心房组织中HGF、CTGF、TGF-β1与Ⅰ型和Ⅲ型胶原mRNA的含量,苏木素-伊红(HE)和Massom病理染色观察右心耳组织纤维化程度.结果 与对照组比较,CTGF、TGF-β1、Ⅰ型胶原、Ⅲ型胶原mRNA表达在风湿性心脏病窦性心律组和风湿性心脏病心房颤动组均显著增加(P<0.05),且风湿性心脏病心房颤动组与风湿性心脏病窦性心律组比较也明显增加(P<0.05);HGF在风湿性心脏病窦性心律组较对照组增加,但比较差异无统计学意义,而在风湿性心脏病心房颤动组HGF下降明显,与对照组和风湿性心脏病窦性心律组比较差异均有统计学意义(P<0.05);相关性分析显示风湿性心脏病心房颤动患者心房组织Ⅰ型胶原、Ⅲ型胶原、TGF-β1和CTGF的mRNA表达与左房直径和组织纤维化面积有相关性.结论 风湿性心脏病患者Ⅰ型胶原和Ⅲ型胶原mRNA表达增加,CTGF、TGF-β1mRNA表达上调.具有抗纤维化作用的HGF mRNA表达在心房颤动时下降,可能是使得风湿性心脏病患者心房颤动易于发生和维持的重要原因.     

大肠癌组织中表皮生长因子及受体的检测

本文应用免疫组化ABC法检测52例大肠癌和18例正常结肠组织中表皮生长因子（EGF）和表皮生长因子受体（EGF－R）的表达状况。正常组织中EGF阳性率22．2％，EGF－R阳性率16．7％，大肠癌EGF阳性率67．3％，EGF－R阳性率61．5％，二者均明显高于正常对照组织，（P＜0．05）。EGF和EGF－R阳性率与患者年龄，性别及肿瘤部位无明显相关，但随着肿瘤浸润度的加深，EGF与EGF－R的阳性率逐渐增高，有淋巴结转移者二者阳性率高于淋转阴性者，特别是EGF与EGF－R双阳者中有82．6％为进展期大肠癌，另发现低分化大肠癌中EGF和EGF－R阳性率明显低于中高分化癌。本文结果提示：部分大肠癌存在EGF或EGF－R的过度表达；EGF与EGF－R的过度表达与肿瘤润度及淋巴转移有关，其检测可作为诊断肿瘤恶性程度的一项辅助指标，部分正常大肠粘膜组织中也有少量EGF或EGF－R表达。     

上皮生长因子家族在老年人肠型胃癌发生中的变化

目的　探讨上皮生长因子（ＥＧＦ）家族在老年人胃癌发生中的作用。　方法　采用免疫组化ＬＳＡＢ法观察ＥＧＦ、转化生长因子－α（ＴＧＦ－α）、上皮生长因子受体（ＥＧＦＲ）在老年人肠型胃癌发生不同阶段的表达情况。　结果　ＥＧＦ在正常组织无表达,在胃癌表达最高（７０．８％ ）。ＴＧＦ－α、ＥＧＦＲ在不典型增生组织的表达（分别为７２．２％ 及８３．３％ ）最高;ＴＧＦ－α／ＥＧＦ＋ ＥＧＦＲ共同表达亦以不典型增生组织为最高。ＴＧＦ－α、ＥＧＦＲ在癌周正常组织的表达（分别为５５．６％ 及６１．１％ ）明显高于非癌正常组织（Ｐ＜ ０．０１）;且ＥＧＦ与胃癌的淋巴结转移、浆膜外侵呈正相关（Ｐ＜ ０．０５）。ＥＧＦ家族阳性胃癌粘膜的增殖细胞核抗原（ＰＣＮＡ）标记指数明显高于阴性组（Ｐ＜ ０．０１）,共同表达ＴＧＦ－α／ＥＧＦ＋ＥＧＦＲ胃粘膜的ＰＣＮＡ标记指数也明显高于单独表达ＥＧＦ、ＴＧＦ－α或ＥＧＦＲ组（Ｐ＜ ０．０５）。　结论　ＴＧＦ－α、ＥＧＦＲ与胃癌发生的早期事件关系密切,二者共同表达是癌前病变有意义的标志。ＥＧＦ与进展期癌有关,是判断预后的指标     

Elevated serum concentrations of activated hepatocyte growth factor activator in patients with multiple myeloma

Objectives: Hepatocyte growth factor (HGF) is a potential key factor in multiple myeloma. Conversion of pro‐HGF to its active form is a critical limiting step for its biological effects. We aimed to examine the levels of the most potent activator, the hepatocyte growth factor activator (HGFA), in serum and bone marrow plasma of patients with multiple myeloma. Methods: The activated form of HGFA was measured by an enzyme‐linked immunosorbent assay in serum (n = 49) and bone marrow plasma (n = 16) from multiple myeloma patients, and in serum from healthy controls (n = 24). Results: The median concentrations of activated HGFA in myeloma and control sera were 39.7 (range 6.2–450.0) and 17.6 ng/mL (range 4.8–280.6), respectively. The difference was statistically significant (P = 0.037). The median concentration of activated HGFA in bone marrow plasma was 6.1 ng/mL (range 3.5–30.0). Conclusion: We here show for the first time that the activated form of HGFA is present at high levels in serum and bone marrow of myeloma patients, thus providing a necessary prerequisite for the activation of HGF.     

甲状腺增殖性疾患组织表皮生长因子及其受体的表达

目的　探讨表皮生长因子 (EGF)及其受体 (EGFR)在甲状腺增殖性疾患中的表达及其作用。方法　应用免疫组化ABC染色方法观察 70例甲状腺组织切片EGF及EGFR的表达。结果(1)EGF在正常、肿瘤及非肿瘤组织中几乎均无表达。 (2 )乳头状、滤泡型甲状腺癌及其混合癌EGFR阳性表达高于非癌疾患及正常组织 (P <0 .0 5 ) ,阳性表达程度以强阳性为主。 (3)在正常组织、良性腺瘤、结节性甲状腺肿及桥本病 ,弱或中度的EGFR阳性表达率各组间差异无显著性。正常组织阳性表达率虽高达 83.3 % ,但 2 / 3表达为弱阳性。 (4 )乳头状甲状腺癌以细胞浆表达EGFR占优势 ,滤泡型及混合型甲状腺癌主要为混合着色 ,但与非癌混合着色不同的是多数以胞浆表达占优势 ;良性疾患以混合染色为主 ,但结节性甲状腺肿以膜着色居多。正常组织为浆、膜混合着色。结论　 (1)对EGFR强阳性表达尤其细胞浆为主者应高度疑及甲状腺癌。 (2 )各甲状腺良性疾患均有不同程度EGFR表达 ,虽无统计学意义上的差别 ,却可说明EGFR对于良性肿瘤及非肿瘤增殖性疾患的生成均有不应忽视的作用。
