次氯酸对人血清白蛋白的氧化修饰影响及与高级氧化蛋白产物的关系

目的 研究次氯酸对人血清白蛋白(HSA)的氧化修饰影响及与高级氧化蛋白产物(AOPPs)之间的关系。 方法 有氧条件下在恒定浓度的HSA(60 mg/ml)内加入不同浓度次氯酸(0、1、5、10、20、30、40、50、60 mmol/L，最终浓度)，观察氧化剂对HSA的修饰作用。凝胶排阻色谱法检验HSA氧化修饰结果，在线光谱扫描(190 nm~400 nm)分析修饰产物的光谱特性。结果 次氯酸可氧化修饰人血清白蛋白，其修饰产物主要为二聚体HSA和六聚体HSA。发现次氯酸对HSA单体和HSA二聚体的氧化修饰为一级反应；对诱导生成的AOPPs为准一级反应；而对诱导生成的HSA六聚体则为二级修饰反应。同时发现白蛋白对AOPPs的主要贡献者是六聚体形式的HSA，光谱分析表明HSA聚集体的最大吸收峰发生红移，提示HSA聚集体是由于蛋白中的酪氨酸残基通过氧化交联方式而聚集形成的。 结论 HSA经次氯酸处理后主要发生了蛋白聚集。而对AOPPs的主要贡献者是六聚体形式的HSA。

Biological characterization of glutaraldehyde-modified Parietaria judaica pollen extracts

BACKGROUND: Allergoids are widely used in specific immunotherapy (SIT) for the treatment of IgE-mediated allergic diseases, but all techniques for standardization of conventional allergic extracts may not be appropriate for standardization of a glutaraldehyde (GA)-modified extract because of the unique characteristics of these extracts. OBJECTIVE: To assess an accurate methodology for standardization of chemically modified extracts. METHODS: GA-modified extracts from Parietaria judaica pollen were purified by diafiltration. Biochemical properties were investigated by determination of amino groups, chromatography, and SDS-PAGE. The IgE-binding activity was determined by skin prick test, enzyme allergosorbent test inhibition, basophil activation, and histamine release tests. Peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMCs) from P. judaica pollen-allergic subjects were stimulated with either native or allergoid extracts, and proliferation was measured. RESULTS: Biochemical data indicated a high degree of allergen polymerization resulting in extract components higher than 100 kDa. IgE-binding activity, both in vivo and in vitro, was reduced by more than 99.8%. Both allergen and allergoid induced PBMC proliferation and synthesis of blocking IgG antibodies at similar rates. Moreover, no evidence of introduction of new determinants by chemical modification was found. CONCLUSIONS: The preparation of GA-modified extracts by diafiltration is faster and more reliable than previous chromatographic methods. These modified extracts have drastically reduced their allergenicity while maintaining their immunogenicity, and therefore they can be used in safer and shortened schedules of SIT.

Orbicularis oculi responses to stimulation of nerve afferents from upper and lower limbs in normal humans

A brief mechanical or electrical stimulus to peripheral nerve afferents from the upper and lower limbs elicited a small and inconsistent EMG response of the orbicularis oculi muscles. This response was facilitated when the stimuli were delivered at fixed leading time intervals, of 45–300 ms, with respect to a supraorbital nerve electrical stimulus. Also, the peripheral nerve stimulus modified the conventional blink reflex responses, inducing facilitation of R1 and inhibition of R2. These results suggest a complex processing of sensory inputs from the face and the limbs at the brainstem, where they are probably integrated in a network of interneurons influencing the excitability of facial motoneurons.
