脂蛋白（a）对肾小球系膜细胞的作用

目的探讨脂蛋白（ａ）［Ｌｐ（ａ）］对肾小球系膜细胞（ＧＭＣ）的作用。方法将体外培养的系膜细胞，加脂蛋白（ａ）刺激后，测定细胞生长率和细胞上清中血小板活化因子（ＰＡＦ）、肿瘤坏死因子（ＴＮＦ）、乳酸脱氢酶（ＬＤＨ）及纤维连结蛋白（ＦＮ）水平，并以未经刺激者作对照。结果经脂蛋白（ａ）刺激４８小时，在终浓度５～２０ｍｇ／Ｌ时细胞生长率轻度增加，而在５０～４００ｍｇ／Ｌ时细胞生长率明显下降。刺激１８小时，细胞上清中ＰＡＦ的水平明显高于对照，且与脂蛋白（ａ）浓度呈明显正相关（ｒ＝０．９３７，Ｐ＜０．０１）；Ｌ９２９细胞的杀伤率有所增加，但未达５０％；ＬＤＨ的水平在脂蛋白（ａ）１００ｍｇ／Ｌ以下时有所增加；刺激１８、４８、７２小时后的细胞上清纤维连结蛋白均为阴性。结论脂蛋白（ａ）对系膜细胞体外增殖有低浓度轻度促进、高浓度抑制的双向作用，对细胞ＰＡＦ的产生具有浓度依赖的促进作用，并能增加细胞上清中ＬＤＨ及ＴＮＦ水平，因而可通过多种途径介导肾小球损伤。     

Different mechanisms by which anti-DNA MoAbs bind to human endothelial cells and glomerular mesangial cells.

The mechanisms by which anti-DNA MoAbs derived from MRL-lpr/lpr mice, bind to human umbilical vein endothelial cells (HUVEC) and glomerular mesangial cells were studied using a cellular ELISA. DNAse-treatment of either the MoAb or HUVEC followed by reconstitution with DNA and/or histones was performed to determine whether DNA and histones mediated such binding. It was found that MoAb410 bound to HUVEC and mesangial cells in the form of preformed DNA/anti-DNA immune complex, and such binding was facilitated by histones. In contrast, MoAb 152 bound directly to cell membrane-associated DNA, and adding DNA to MoAb 152 reduced its cellular binding. DNA binds endothelial cell surface and histones enhance the binding of both MoAb 410 and MoAb 152 to HUVEC by increasing cell membrane-associated DNA. Finally, the degree of MoAb binding to HUVEC is critically influenced by the relative concentrations of antibody, DNA, and histones.     

雷帕霉素对炎性反应状态下肾小球系膜细胞内脂质稳态的影响

Objective To investigate the effect of rapamycin on cholesterol homeostasis of glomerular mesangial cells and the underlying mechanism. Methods Glomerular mesangial cell line (HMCL) cells were cultured and divided into control group, IL-1β group and different concentration rapamycin groups. Intracellular cholesterol accumulation was observed and measured by oil O staining and HPLC. Real-time quantitative PCR and Western blot were used to detect the mRNA and protein expression of LDLR, PPARγ, LXRα, ABCA1 in HMCL after the treatment with IL-1β and rapamycin. Results Rapamycin had no significant influence on intracellular cholesterol concentration under normal condition. IL-1β significantly increased the intracellular cholesterol concentration by 143％ of control (P<0.05), and 10, 50, 100 ?滋g/L rapamycin could significantly inhibit the effect of IL-1β (87％, 116％, 96％ of control respectively, all P<0.05). Rapamycin could suppress the increased expression of LDLR caused by IL-1β on both mRNA and protein level in a dose-dependent manner（P<0.01）. Rapamycin dose-dependently up-regulated the reduced mRNA and protein expression of ABCA1, the decreased mRNA expression of PPARγ and LXRα induced by IL-1β as well (P<0.01）. Conclusion Rapamycin may contribute to the maintenance of intracellular cholesterol homeostasis in glomerular mesangial cells under inflammatory state by both reducing cholesterol uptake and promoting cholesterol efflux.

Cerivastatin inhibits fetal calf serunvinduced DNA synthesis in cultured rat mesangial cells

SUMMARY: Inhibition of mevalonate synthesis by several statins has been shown to suppress DNA synthesis in glomerular mesangial cells. In the present study, we investigated the effect of a new statin, cerivastatin, on fetal calf serum (FCS)-induced DNA synthesis of cultured rat mesangial cells. Cultured rat mesangial cells were stimulated by 10% FCS in the presence or absence of cerivastatin and mevalonate. 5-bromo-2-deoxyuridine (BrdU) incorporation was used to assess DNA synthesis. the present study showed that 10% FCS caused marked stimulation of DNA synthesis in the mesangial cells. Cerivastatin inhibited FCS-stimulated BrdU incorporation in a dose-dependent manner. IC₅₀ was approximately 1 umol/L. Exogenous mevalonate, farnesyl pyrophosphate and geranylgeranyl pyrophosphate significantly prevented the inhibitory effect of cerivastatin on DNA replication. It appears that cerivastatin, by inhibiting the synthesis of mevalonate, may suppress DNA synthesis in the mesangial cells.

目的分离、培养和鉴定正常人肾小球系膜细胞。方法筛网滤过分离正常人肾小球系膜细胞,同时采用免疫荧光技术,利用异硫氰酸荧光素(FITC)间接标记单克隆抗体:抗Ⅷ因子相关抗原抗体、抗结蛋白抗体、抗角蛋白抗体、抗细胞角蛋白抗体、抗Ⅳ型胶原抗体、抗纤维连接蛋白抗体、抗层粘连蛋白抗体对系膜细胞特有的中间微丝进行鉴定。并采用同期培养的同一来源的肾小球内皮细胞作对照。结果抗Ⅷ因子相关抗原、抗角蛋白和抗细胞角蛋白抗体表达均为阴性,而抗结蛋白抗体、抗Ⅳ型胶原抗体、抗纤维连接蛋白抗体、抗层粘连蛋白抗体为阳性,说明培养的细胞为系膜细胞。结论该种方法分离培养的细胞经过免疫荧光染色鉴定为肾小球系膜细胞。     

系膜细胞的功能对肾小球滤过作用的影响

系膜细胞有两种类型即肾小球内系膜细胞和肾小球外系膜细胞，研究表明系膜细胞内有收缩系统存在，肾上球内系膜细胞与收缩功能有密切的关系，肾小球外系膜细胞功能的改变在管－球反馈的信号转导中起关键作用。此外，系膜细胞还有吞噬及产生并分泌多种生物活性物质等功能。其中系膜细胞的收缩在调节肾小球血液动力学如滤过系数和管－球反馈的变化方面可能具有重要的生理意义。     

Differential control of mesangial cell proliferation by interferon-gamma.

Rat mesangial cells were shown to be sensitive to recombinant interferon-gamma (IFN-gamma). IFN-gamma reduced thymidine uptake by these cells and inhibited cell proliferation. Incubation of the cells with 1000 U/ml IFN-gamma decreased thymidine uptake by up to 64% and cell numbers were decreased by 17%. The effects of IFN-gamma were dose and time dependent and were partially reversible by the anti-IFN-gamma monoclonal antibody DB-1. This lymphokine did not reduce incorporation of RNA and protein precursors however. Measurements of 3H-uridine and 3H-leucine incorporation indicated significant increases in RNA and protein synthesis (37% and 45%, respectively) on a per cell basis. The mitogenic effects of IL-1 and platelet-derived growth factor (PDGF) were also susceptible to IFN-gamma-mediated inhibition but the mitogenic response to epidermal growth factor (EGF) was much less sensitive. We conclude that while IFN-gamma may act to modulate the mitogenic signals provided by some factors such as IL-1 and PDGF, the response to EGF appears to be unaffected.
