Infant rat separation is a sensitive test for novel anxiolytics

1. Rat pups emit ultrasonic calls during brief episodes of social separation. These calls have been variously described as “distress” calls and may be related to the separation cries expressed by the young of many mammalian species.

2. Ultrasonic call of rat pups are modulated by environmental stimuli such as ambient temperature, olfactory and tactile stimuli associated with the nest.

3. Calls are also sensitive to a variety of purported anxiolytic and anxiogenic drugs, including the benzodiazepines, serotonin agonists, and ligands at the NMDA-glycine receptor complex.

4. In addition to providing a simple test for the anxiolytic properties of drugs, this model may also provide new insights about the development and neurobiology of anxiety.

Human T cells that have been conditioned by the proteolytic activity of the major dust mite allergen Der p 1 trigger enhanced immunoglobulin E synthesis by B cells

BACKGROUND: We have previously demonstrated that the proteolytic activity of Der p 1 selectively cleaves human CD25, the 55 kDa alpha subunit of the IL-2 receptor. As a result of cleavage of surface CD25, peripheral blood T cells produce less IFN-gamma and more IL-4, thereby leading to progressive polarization of the T cells towards a Th2 cytokine profile. Therefore, these observations underline the potential role of the proteolytic activity of Der p 1 in creating a microenvironment conducive for IgE synthesis. OBJECTIVE: To study the effect of T cells that have been conditioned by the proteolytic activity of Der p 1 on IgE synthesis by B cells. METHODS: We have examined this concept in experiments whereby T cells that have been exposed to either proteolytically active or inactive Der p 1 were cocultured with autologous B cells and IgE antibody synthesis was monitored. RESULTS: Here we demonstrate for the first time that coculturing T cells that have been in contact with proteolytically active Der p 1 with autologous B cells leads to augmentation of IgE antibody responses. CONCLUSIONS: The proteolytic activity of Der p 1 conditions human T cells, which then become empowered to trigger enhanced IgE synthesis by B cells.     

Role of β2 integrins in glomerular leucocytes in Henoch-Schoenlein purpura nephritis: an age-matched comparative study with immunoglobulin A nephropathy

SUMMARY: A comparative immunohistological study was performed for the glomerular deposition of complements (C1q and C3c), fibrin/fibrinogen‐related antigen (FRA), the expression of intercellular adhesion molecule‐1 (ICAM‐1), and the infiltration of leucocytes bearing β₂ integrins (leucocyte function associated antigen‐1 (LFA‐1), complement receptor 3 (CR3) and complement receptor 4 (CR4)) on renal biopsy specimens from 49 cases with Henoch‐Schoenlein purpura nephritis (HSPN), and 49 age‐matched cases with immunoglobulin A nephropathy (IgAN). the glomerular expression of ICAM‐1 was signifcantly correlated with the glomerular infiltration of leucocyte function associated antigen (LFA)‐1⁺ leucocytes in both diseases, and with that of CR3⁺ leucocytes in HSPN. the expression of ICAM‐1 was closely localized with the infiltration of LFA‐1⁺ leucocytes in the study with double immunostaining. the incidence and intensity of glomerular deposition of FRA were significantly higher in HSPN than in IgAN (P< 0.001), and those of C3c were significantly lower in HSPN than in IgAN (P< 0.001). the glomerular deposition of FRA was significantly correlated with the glomerular infiltration of CR4⁺ leucocytes in HSPN (P<0.05) but not in IgAN. In contrast, the glomerular deposition of C3c was significantly correlated with the glomerular infiltration of CR4⁺ leucocytes in IgAN (P<0.05), but not in HSPN. Studies with double immunostaining revealed a close association of CR4⁺ leucocytes with FRA deposition in HSPN and with C3c deposition in IgAN, respectively. the number of glomerular leucocytes bearing β₂ integrins was significantly correlated with urinary protein at the time of renal biopsy in both diseases. These results suggested the differential roles of β₂ integrins in the induction of glomerular injury in HSPN and IgAN. the ICAM‐1/LFA‐1 interaction may commonly be involved in the glomerular infiltration of leucocytes in both diseases. the ICAM‐1/CR3 interaction may be involved only in HSPN. Complement receptor 4 may function as a fibrin/fibrinogen receptor in HSPN, while CR4 may function as a complement receptor in IgAN.     

胃粘膜癌变过程中P1 6、CyclinD1的表达

目的：探讨Ｐ１６、ＣｙｃｌｉｎＤ１的表达在胃癌发生发展中的作用。方法：采用免疫组化Ｓ－Ｐ法。结果：在胃粘膜癌变过程中，Ｐ１６阳性表达率逐渐下降，其中异型增生和胃癌组Ｐ１６阳性表达率明显低于慢性浅表性胃炎组（Ｐ　＜０．０５）；ＣｙｃｌｉｎＤ１阳性表达率逐渐增高，其中肠化生、异型增生和胃癌组ＣｙｃｌｉｎＤ１阳性表达率明显高于慢性浅表性胃炎组（Ｐ　＜０．０５）。在胃癌中，Ｐ１６阳性表达率与胃癌分期和分化程度有关，ＣｙｃｌｉｎＤ１的阳性表达率与之无关。结论：Ｐ１６表达缺失和ＣｙｃｌｉｎＤ１异常表达是胃癌发生过程中一个较早的分子事件，且Ｐ１６表达缺失与胃癌进展和恶性程度有关。
