双基因共表达在血管再狭窄研究中的应用

目的 观察携带反义凝血酶受体(ATR)和p21的双基因载体共表达后对血管平滑肌细胞增殖的抑制作用，为再狭窄基因治疗寻求新途径。方法 以携带ATR或/和p21的单、双基因载体重组腺病毒伴随病毒(rAAV)感染培养的人主动脉平滑肌细胞(hASMC)，用半定量RT-PCR检测各基因的整合与表达，MTT法测定病毒感染后不同时间点的细胞存活率。将携带AP双基因的rAAV导入WKY大鼠拉伤侧的颈总动脉，免疫组织化学法分别检测凝血酶受体(TR)和p21两基因在动脉壁中的表达。结果 RT-PCR结果显示，TR单基因的mRNA表达降低，p2l单基因表达升高，AP双基因得到了共表达；MTT法测定的生长曲线显示，双基因对hASMC增殖的抑制作用大于两个单基因；免疫组织化学证实，AP双基因导入后，TR基因的表达受到完全抑制，p2l基因的表达明显增加，血管新生内膜与平滑肌细胞的增殖受到了抑制。结论 ATR和p21双基因共表达在体外可明显抑制ASMC的增殖，在体内可明显抑制血管内膜新生和中膜的增生。

三个新的PAH基因短串联重复序列多态性及其在苯丙酮尿症产前诊断中的应用

目的提高经典型苯丙酮尿症的产前诊断的成功率。方法在苯丙氨酸羟化酶（phenylalanine hydroxylase，PAH）基因附近选择了3个新的短串联重复序列（short tandem repeat，STR）位点（PAH26、PAH32和PAH9），进行扩增长度片段多态性分析，确定它们在中国人群的分布及在诊断中的应用价值。结果3个新的STR位点的多态信息含量分别为0．518（PAH26）、0．413（PAH32）和0．362（PAH9）。这3个位点之间，PAH9与第3内含子中的STR位点（TCTA）n之间存在连锁不平衡，其他位点组合不存在连锁不平衡。联合第3内含子中的STR位点（TCTA）n和2个新的位点，可以对家系中突变基因标记进行95％N断，并成功地用于4例产前诊断中。结论选择性地应用PAH基因中的3个STR位点组合，可以95％地区分经典型苯丙酮尿症家系中父母的两个基因，从而准确地进行快速产前诊断。     

Mutations in the human LKB1/STK11 gene

The human LKB gene (official HUGO symbol, STK11) encodes a serine/threonine protein kinase that is defective in patients with Peutz-Jeghers syndrome (PJS). PJS is an autosomal dominantly inherited syndrome characterized by hamartomatous polyposis of the gastrointestinal tract and mucocutaneous pigmentation. To date, 145 different germline LKB1 mutations have been reported. The majority of the mutations lead to a truncated protein product. One mutational hotspot has been observed. A 1-bp deletion and a 1-bp insertion at the mononucleotide repeat (C6 repeat, c.837-c.842) between the codons 279-281 have been found in six and seven unrelated PJS families, respectively. However, these mutations account only for approximately 7% of all mutations identified in the PJS families (13/193). A review of the literature provides a total of 40 different somatic LKB1 mutations in 41 sporadic tumors and seven cancer cell lines. Mutations occur particularly in lung and colorectal cancer. Most of the somatic LKB1 mutations result in truncation of the protein. A mutational hotspot seems to be a C6 repeat accounting for 12.5% of all somatic mutations (6/48). These results are concordant with the germline mutation spectrum. However, the proportion of the missense mutations seems to be higher among the somatic mutations (45%) than among the germline mutations (21%), and only seven of the mutations are exactly the same in both of the mutation types.

Recombination pattern of the TCR γ locus in human peripheral T-cell lymphomas

The recombination events of the γ and β T-cell receptor (TCR) loci were analysed in a series of 39 peripheral T-cell lymphomas (PTCLs) in association with the expression of TCR chains. In TCR αβ PTCLs, 22/23 cases showed a γ-gene rearrangement while only 18/23 showed a concomitant β-gene rearrangement. The germline configuration of the β locus was found in angioimmunoblastic lymphadenopathy and lymphoepithelioid lymphomas. Three γδ PTCLs rearranged both γ and β genes. TCR silent PTCLs showed three different patterns of γ- and β-gene rearrangements. Three cases were in germline configuration for both loci; five cases had a rearranged γ and a germline β locus; and five cases had the two loci rearranged. Regarding the variable genes in the γ-rearranged alleles, members of the VγI subgroup were the most frequently presented (39/50), followed by VγII, VγIII, and VγIV (9/50, 1/50, and 1/50, respectively). Joining segment usage was as follows: J1 or J2 (32/50), JP1 or JP2 (17/50), and JP (1/50). Taken together, these data demonstrate that the γ locus is more frequently rearranged whatever the TCR expression. The γ-locus analysis provides a better diagnostic yield than the β locus in the study of PTCL clonality.     

The hormonal responses to repetitive brief maximal exercise in humans

Summary The responses of nine men and nine women to brief repetitive maximal exercise have been studied. The exercise involved a 6-s sprint on a non-motorised treadmill repeated 10 times with 30 s recovery between each sprint. The total work done during the ten sprints was 37,693±3,956 J by the men and 26,555±4,589 J by the women (M > F,P<0.01). This difference in performance was not associated with higher blood lactate concentrations in the men (13.96± 1.70 mmol·^–1) than the women (13.09±3.04 mmol·l^–1). An 18-fold increase in plasma adrenaline (AD) occurred with the peak concentration observed after five sprints. The peak AD concentration in the men was larger than that seen in the women (9.2 +- 7.3 and 3.7 ± 2.4 nmol · l^–1 respectively,P<0.05). The maximum noradrenaline (NA) concentration occurred after ten sprints in the men (31.6±10.9 nmol·l^–1) and after five sprints in the women (27.4 ± 20.8 nmol · l^–1). Plasma cardiodilatin (CDN) and atrial natriuretic peptide (ANP) concentrations were elevated in response to the exercise. The peak ANP concentration occurred immediately postexercise and the response of the women (10.8 ± 4.5 pmol · l^–1 was greater than that of the men (5.1 ± 2.6 pmol · l^–1,P<0.05). The peak CDN concentrations were 163 ± 61 pmol · l^–1 for the women and 135 ± 61 pmol · l^–1 for the men. No increases in calcitonin gene related peptide (CGRP) were detected in response to the exercise. These results indicate differences between men and women in performance and hormonal responses. There was no evidence for a role of CGRP in the control of the cardiovascular system after brief intermittent maximal exercise.

将人工合成的恶性疟原虫杂合７４肽抗原基因克隆到表达载体ｐＷＲ４５０－１中，获得了重组质粒ｐＷＲＣ，将其先转化到减毒伤寒沙门氏菌ＬＢ５０００修饰后，再转化到ＳＬ３２６１，得到重组减毒鼠伤寒沙门氏菌ＳＬ３２６１（ｐＷＲＣ）。ｐＷＲＣ在ＳＬ３２６１中以β－半乳糖苷酶－杂合多肽抗原Ｃ融合蛋白（ＧＺ－Ｃ）形式表达，表达量约占菌体蛋白总量的１１．３％．Ｗｅｓｔｅｒｎｂｌｏｔ及免疫双扩散显示ＧＺ－Ｃ可与兔抗ＧＺ－Ｃ抗原的免疫血清发生特异反应。ＧＺ－Ｃ识别兔抗ＧＺ－Ｃ及鼠抗恶性疟原虫抗血清的ＥＬＩＳＡ滴度分别为１：３２００及１：５１２０。初步结果表明ＳＬ３２６１（ｐＷＲＣ）表达的ＧＺ－Ｃ具有抗原性。连续传代ＳＬ３２６１（ｐＷＲＣ）未见质粒ｐＷＲＣ丢失及对宿主有明显的毒性。
