牛磺酸对大鼠缺血心肌Bcl-2和Bax蛋白表达的影响

目的：探讨大鼠心肌缺血损伤与凋亡相关基因bcl-2和bax表达的关系及牛磺酸的影响。方法：结扎大鼠冠状动脉左前降支建立心肌缺血模型。检测心肌线粒体中超氧化物歧化酶（SOD）、Ca^2 -ATPase活性及MDA（丙二醛）含量，用免疫组化法检测Bcl-2和Bax蛋白在心肌中的表达量。结果：结扎冠脉左前降支可致心肌线粒体MDA含量升高，SOD和Ca^2 －ATPase活性下降；缺血心肌Bax蛋白表达呈显著升高；牛磺酸能明显减少缺血心肌线粒体MDA的生成，降低心肌Bax蛋白的表达，增加Bcl-2蛋白的表达。结论：结扎大鼠冠状动脉左前降支导致的心肌缺血损伤与Bcl-2和Bax蛋白的表达有关。

目的观察Fas系统在烧伤后心肌细胞凋亡中的作用及牛磺酸的影响。方法选健康Wistar大鼠,随机分成对照组(Sham)、烧伤组(造成40%TBSAⅢ度烧伤)和牛磺酸保护组(烫伤后即刻腹腔注射牛磺酸400 mg/kg)。用原位末端标记(TUNEL)法检测凋亡细胞,RT-PCR检测Fas mRNA表达,免疫组化检测Fas/FasL和Caspase-8/3蛋白表达和荧光法分析Caspase-3活性。结果烧伤组大鼠伤后6 h和24 h心肌细胞凋亡指数分别为8.96±2.10和18.67±2.48,较对照组(0.92±0.34)有显著性升高,Fas蛋白阳性表达指数分别为13.51±1.56和14.55±1.89,也显著性高于对照组(2.46±0.75);Caspase-3活性分别为1.38±0.16和1.96±0.71,较对照组(0.35±0.06)有显著性差异。烧伤组凋亡指数与Fas表达之间有良好的相关性(r=0.86)。牛磺酸保护组细胞凋亡指数为2.14±0.68,Fas蛋白表达为3.71±0.82,Fas mRNA表达为0.17±0.03,Caspase-3活性为0.88±0.16,较烧伤组均有显著性降低。结论Fas系统参与了介导烧伤后心肌细胞凋亡,牛磺酸对烧伤后心肌细胞Fas表达及其信号转导有较好的拮抗作用。     

牛磺酸对应激大鼠心肌损伤的保护机制

以异丙肾上腺素诱导的大鼠应激为模型，研究牛磺酸对心肌及血清中自由基系统与游离脂肪酸含量组成的影响。与对照组比较，结果Ｉｓｏ组心肌中ＦＲ、ＬＰＯ、ＣＫ、ＬＤＨ、Ｃ１６：０、Ｃ１８：０、Ｃ１８：１、ＦＦＡ与Ｃ１８：０／ＦＦＡ值显著升高，ＳＯＤ、Ｃ１８：３、Ｃ２０：４ＰＵＦＡ／ＦＦＡ值显著降低；血清中ＬＰＯ、ＣＫ、Ｃ１６：０、Ｃ１８：１、ＦＦＡ值显著升高，Ｃ１８：３、Ｃ２０：４、ＰＵＦＡ／ＦＦＡ及ＳＯＤ值呈下降趋势，牛磺酸对纠正应激引起的上述变化有显著作用，结果提示牛磺酸可通过减少自由基产生，增加抗氧化酶活性来减少脂质过氧化反应，维持细胞膜完整，影响心肌中ＦＦＡ含量及组成，保护心肌免受应激损伤。

Immunocytochemistry of Amino-Acids in the Rodent Pituitary Using Extremely Specific, Very High Titre Antisera

The compartmental interrelationships of the metabolically related amino-acids glutamate, GABA and glutamine and the metabolically unrelated amino-acids taurine and glycine in the rodent pituitary, were investigated by light microscopic immunocytochemistry using highly specific antisera. Glutamate-like immunoreactivity was abundant in astrocytes in the posterior pituitary. Glutamine immunoreactivity was present only at low levels in the posterior pituitary, but was abundant in astrocytes within the intermediate lobe. Other glia-like ceils in the anterior pituitary were also glutamine-immunoreactive. GABA immunoreactivity was abundant in the intermediate lobe but absent from anterior and posterior lobes. The GABA immunoreactivity mainly took the form of small punctata, the majority of which were in intimate apposition to the glutamine-immunoreactive glia. Strong taurine immunoreactivity was present in astrocytes in the posterior pituitary but only weak labelling was present in intermediate and anterior lobes of the pituitary. Specific glycine immunoreactivity was not detected in the pituitary. These results suggest that glutamate-immunoreactive astrocytes in the posterior pituitary, unlike glia in loci such as the retina, do not convert much, if any, of their glutamate content into glutamine (or if they do, it is rapidly further metabolized to another compound), whereas those astrocytes in the intermediate lobe do contain glutamine. The spatial association of GABAergic fibres with glutamine-positive astrocytes raises the possibility that astrocytes in the intermediate lobe receive a GABAergic innervation. Glutamate, glutamine and taurine (or their metabolites) may have roles as neuroactive substances regulating pituitary secretion.

Differential effect of taurine and serotonin on the outgrowth from explants or isolated cells of the retina

The sulfur amino acid taurine and the indoleamine serotonin increases and decreases, respectively, the outgrowth from goldfish retinal explants. Taurine seems to be acting, at least partially, through an increase in calcium fluxes, and the serotonin-inhibiting effect appears to be mediated by serotonin_1A receptors and cAMP. Isolated cells of postcrush goldfish retina and of retina from 5-day-old rats were cultured in the presence of taurine or serotonin. In the goldfish, the classical morphology of postcrush ganglion cells was observed. An antibody against the glycoprotein Thy-1 labelled three types of cells in the cultures of goldfish retina. The number of cells outgrowing and the length of the main neurite was measured at 5 days in culture in both species. The number of cells presenting neurites was increased in the goldfish retina by the addition of taurine, and decreased by serotonin. However, the length of the neurites was unaffected by the addition of the modulators. In the rat, only a slight decrease in the number of cells outgrowing was observed in the presence of serotonin. The incorporation of [³H]thymidinewas not modified after 5 days in culture in the presence of taurine or serotonin, either in the goldfish or in the rat retina. The antibody Thy 1.1 can label retinal cells of the goldfish invitro, one of them being ganglion cells. The trophic effect exerted by taurine in the postcrush goldfish retina needs the integrity of the tissue favoring the interaction of cells and factors, because outgrowth increases in retinal explants, but not in isolated cells.     

牛磺酸与大脑发育关系的初步探讨——牛磺酸与行为

本实验将断乳大鼠随机分成三组。补充0.6％牛磺酸组(ST组);未补充牛磺酸组(TF组);及5703大鼠常备膳组(5703组)。用水迷宫及食物偏爱性试验观察补充牛磺酸对大鼠学习、记忆能力的影响。结果表明,三组大鼠在水迷宫试验总潜伏期,总错误次数,无误率及持续时间四项指标上均存在高度显著差异。ST:TF P<0.01;ST:5703 P<0.01;5703:TF P<0.05。ST与TF在食物偏爱性试验上存在显著差异(P<0.05)。上述结果表明:牛磺酸与大脑发育有关,表现为补充了牛磺酸的大鼠在学习、记忆等方面的提高。而牛磺酸缺乏对幼鼠大脑及智力发育有不利影响,表现为学习、记忆能力的不足。
