iNOS在颅内囊性动脉瘤瘤壁中的表达及意义

目的探讨诱导性一氧化氮合酶（iNOs）在颅内囊性动脉瘤瘤壁中的表达及其意义。方法应用免疫组化染色和原位杂交染色技术检测iNOS在颅内囊性动脉瘤和正常动脉血管壁组织中的表达。结果所有脑动脉瘤标本中均可见iNOS表达，而正常脑动脉标本中则未见其表达：iNOS阳性表达部位主要在动脉瘤壁外膜和中膜的炎症浸润区的炎症细胞（如淋巴细胞、单核巨噬细胞）的胞浆内。结论动脉瘤的发生可能与局部iNOS过度表达，继而合成大量的NO有关。

Suppression of lipopolysaccharide-induced inflammatory responses in RAW 264.7 murine macrophages by aqueous extract of Clinopodium vulgare L. (Lamiaceae)

Ethnopharmacological relevance

The wild basil Clinopodium vulgare L. is commonly used in Bulgarian folk medicine for treatment of irritated skin, mastitis- and prostatitis-related swelling, as well as for some disorders accompanied with significant degree of inflammation (e.g. gastric ulcers, diabetes, and cancer).

Aim of study

To determine the effect of aqueous extract of Clinopodium vulgare L. on LPS-induced inflammatory responses of murine RAW 264.7 macrophages.

Materials and methods

Cell cytotoxicity was evaluated by MTT assay. Protein expression levels were monitored by Western blot analysis. Production of NO and PGE₂ was measured by the Griess colorimetric method and enzyme immunoassay, respectively. Activation of MMP-9 was visualized by gelatin zymography. Cytokine levels were determined by BioPlex assay. Intracellular ROS and free radical scavenging potential were measured by DCFH-DA and DPPH method, respectively. Xanthine oxidase activity was evaluated spectrophotometrically.

Results

The extract suppresses NF-κB activation by preventing Iκ-B phosphorylation and inhibits the phosphorylation of p38 and SAPK/JNK MAPKs. It down-regulates iNOS expression which manifests as a drastic decrease of NO production, inhibits MMP-9 activation, but does not affect COX-2 protein levels and reduces only slightly the released PGE₂. Secretion of IL-1β and Il-10 is greatly reduced, whereas suppression of TNF-α and GM-CSF production is less dramatic. The extract has strong free radical scavenging properties and exerts inhibitory effect on xanthine oxidase activity, which lowers the levels of intracellular ROS.

Conclusion

The study provides evidence for the anti-inflammatory potential of Clinopodium vulgare L. aqueous extract.     

iNOS/NO对结直肠肿瘤发生发展的影响

一氧化氮（nitric oxide,NO）具有广泛的生物学活性。近年来发现一氧化氮（NO）、一氧化氮合成酶（nitric oxide synthase-2,NOS-2）与结直肠肿瘤的发生、发展密切相关,它与环氧化酶（cy-cloxygenase-2,COX-2）之间存在复杂的调控机制。对NO清除剂、NOS抑制剂和释放NO的非甾体抗炎药的研究为结直肠肿瘤的防治提供了一个思路。     

Delayed expression of NADPH-diaphorase in rat brain after administration of the cholinotoxin AF64A

Administration of cholinotoxin etylcholine aziridinium (AF64A) into the brain selectively induces nonrever-sible cholinergic deficit. Wistar rats were injected intracerebroventricularly bilaterally with AF64A at doses of 1–3 nmol/ventricle. 28 days later the number of neurons survived was counted in dorsolateral, intermediate and medial groups of cells of the medial septum. AF64A induced a decrease in neuronal density and expression of cholineacetyl transferase at all doses used as well as in all regions studied. Brain sections were also stained for NADPH-diaphorase representing neuronal NO-synthase. Effects of AF64A on NADPH-diaphorase expression depended on the region studied. The number of NADPH-diaphorase-positive cells increased in the medial cellular group where more cholineacetly transferase-positive cells survived. In contrast, decrease in NADPH-diaphorase expression in the dorsolateral group of cells coincided with low level of cholineacetyltransferase-po-sitive neurons. The data presented suggest that in the AF64A-dependent model of neurodegeneration NO may play a neuroprotective function.     

两种艾灸法对二肾一夹型高血压大鼠血压和血管内皮细胞内分泌功能的影响
