Deletion of stem-loop 3 is compensated by second-site mutations within the Gag protein of human immunodeficiency virus type 1

Encapsidation of human immunodeficiency virus type 1 (HIV-1) RNA involves specific interactions between viral Gag proteins and viral RNA elements located at the 5' untranslated region (UTR). These RNA elements are termed packaging (psi) or encapsidation (E) signals and mainly comprise the stem-loop 1 (SL1) and SL3 RNA structures. We have previously shown that deletion of the SL1 sequences is compensated by second-site mutations within Gag. Similar studies are now extended to SL3 and the results demonstrate that deletion of this RNA structure is rescued by two point mutations, i.e., A11V in p2 and I12V in nucleocapsid (NC). These two compensatory mutations are different from those associated with the rescue of SL1 deletion, suggesting that SL1 and SL3 may bind to different residues of Gag during viral RNA packaging. Analysis of virion-derived RNA in native agarose gels shows that deletion of SL3 leads to decreases in both viral RNA packaging and dimerization. These defects are corrected by the compensatory mutations A11V and I12V. Yet, defects in viral RNA dimerization at an early stage that were caused by the SL3 deletion in the context of a viral protease-negative mutation cannot be overcome by these two suppressor mutations. Therefore, the positive effects of A11V and I12V on dimerization of the SL3-deleted RNA must have taken place at the maturation stage.     

Effects of the Long-Term Depletion of Reduced Glutathione in Mice Administered L-Buthionine-S,R-sulfoximine

Effects of the Long-Term Depletion of Reduced Glutathione inMice Administered L-Buthionine-S,R-sulfoximine. SUN, J. D.,RAGSDALE, S. S., BENSON, J. M., AND HENDERSON, R. F. (1985).Fundam. Appl. Toxicol.. 5,913-919. Previous methods to depletein vivo concentrations of reduced glutathione (GSH) have notbeen able to lower tissue GSH levels for extended periods, havebeen toxic, and can alter the metabolism of xenobiotics. A possiblealternative to lower in vivo concentrations of GSH may be theuse of buthionine-S,R-sulfoximine (BSO) in the drinking waterof laboratory animals to inhibit the biosynthesis of GSH. Ithas been previously reported that 20 mM BSO in the drinkingwater given to mice was able to lower GSH levels in a varietyof tissues after 15 days. In order to more fully characterizethe in vivo depletion of GSH in tissues by ingestion of BSOand determine if this method would be suitable in studies requiringdepressed levels of GSH for extended periods, we added differentamounts of this agent to the drinking water given to mice forvarious times up to 28 days. We found that ingested BSO at thehighest concentrtion used in drinking water (30 mM) was ableto maximally lower GSH concentrations in mouse lungs, lung lavagefluid, liver, kidneys, and blood to 59.0 ? 3.6%, 35.0 ? 5.1%,44.3 ? 1.5%, 69.5 ? 3.9%, and 70.0 ? 6.0% of control mice, respectively,for up to 28 days. These lowered concentrations of tissue GSHreturned to control levels after mice were returned to untreateddrinking water for 7 days. The potential toxicity of such treatmentswas also evaluated. Levels of alkaline phosphatase, lactatedehydrogenase, glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase, glutathioneperoxidase, and glutathione reductase in lungs and lung lavagefluid, and total and differential cell counts from lung lavagefluid were not different between control and BSO-treated mice.This showed that BSO treatment did not produce indications oflung injury as measured by these biochemical parameters. Serumaspartyl transferase and -glutamyl transpeptidase activitieswere unaffected by the BSO treatments, indicating normal liverfunctions. Lung and liver cytochrome P-450 concentrations werealso not different between controls and BSO-treated animals.Thus, BSO in the drinking water of mice was able to effectivelylower in vivo levels of GSH without eliciting aCUte toxic responses.

氧化应激在溃疡性结肠炎中的作用及中医药防治研究进展

溃疡性结肠炎（UC）是一种临床常见的消化系统疾病,致病机制尚不明确,病情复杂多变,迁延难愈,治疗周期漫长,且无特效药。目前,UC的治疗多采用皮质类固醇、氨基水杨酸及生物制剂等西医手段,短时间起效快,疗效确切。但随着用药时间的延长,部分患者会出现耐药性和加剧病情发展,导致结肠癌的发生。有研究发现,氧化应激是UC重要的致病因素之一,影响着UC的发生、发展。氧化应激是机体内氧化产物与抗氧化系统不平衡的一种应激状态,丙二醛（MDA）、活性氧（ROS）、一氧化氮（NO）等氧化产物的过表达或者超氧化物歧化酶（SOD）、过氧化氢酶（CAT）、谷胱甘肽（GSH）抗氧化酶的不足都会导致氧化应激的发生。值得注意的是,中医药作为我国独有的医学特色,运用中医药治疗UC疾病已经取得显著的成效。研究表明,中医药一方面通过抑制代谢产物的堆积,有效抑制UC发生,另一方面,通过提高抗氧化系统,达到拮抗UC发展的治疗效果。因此,以中医药调节氧化平衡状态作为诊疗思路,可能是未来治疗UC疾病的新手段、新方向。基于上述研究,该文总结了氧化应激关键致病蛋白与UC发生、发展的作用机制,归纳了中药有效成分、单味中药、中药复方、针灸调控氧化应激上下游靶点蛋白,减轻肠黏膜病理损害,降低结肠损伤指数,以及丰富肠道菌群,增加结肠长度,改善UC临床症状,以期为扩大中医药治疗UC疾病的应用范围,提供可靠的科学理论依据。
