Purification and characterization of a kinase specific for the serine- and arginine-rich pre-mRNA splicing factors.

Members of the SR family of pre-mRNA splicing factors are phosphoproteins that share a phosphoepitope specifically recognized by monoclonal antibody (mAb) 104. Recent studies have indicated that phosphorylation may regulate the activity and the intracellular localization of these splicing factors. Here, we report the purification and kinetic properties of SR protein kinase 1 (SRPK1), a kinase specific for SR family members. We demonstrate that the kinase specifically recognizes the SR domain, which contains serine/arginine repeats. Previous studies have shown that dephosphorylated SR proteins did not react with mAb 104 and migrated faster in SDS gels than SR proteins from mammalian cells. We show that SRPK1 restores both mobility and mAB 104 reactivity to a SR protein SF2/ASF (splicing factor 2/alternative splicing factor) produced in bacteria, suggesting that SRPK1 is responsible for the generation of the mAb 104-specific phosphoepitope in vivo. Finally, we have correlated the effects of mutagenesis in the SR domain of SF2/ASF on splicing with those on phosphorylation of the protein by SRPK1, suggesting that phosphorylation of SR proteins is required for splicing.     

Enhancement of fibronectin synthesis and fibrillogenesis by BMP-4 in cultured rat osteoblast.

The skeletal extracellular matrix produced by osteoblasts contains the glycoprotein fibronectin (Fn), which regulates the adhesion, differentiation, and function of osteoblasts. Fn fibrillogenesis is involved in the process of bone mineralization. Bone morphogenetic proteins (BMPs) can be isolated from organic bone matrix and are able to initiate de novo cartilage and bone formation. In this study, the effect of BMP-4 on Fn fibrillogenesis in cultured rat osteoblasts was examined. BMP-4 enhanced Fn synthesis and extracellular Fn assembly in primary cultured osteoblasts. In addition, the extracellular assembly of Fn from exogenously applied soluble human Fn was also increased by BMP-4. It has been reported that alpha5beta1 integrin is related to Fn fibrillogenesis. The synthesis of both alpha5 and beta1 integrins was upregulated by BMP-4. Immunocytochemistry showed that the clustering of alpha5 and beta1 integrins was also increased by BMP-4. BMP-4 increased fibril formation of Fn and the adhesion of osteoblasts onto Fn matrix, which was inhibited by disintegrin triflavin and Gly-Arg-Gly-Asp-Ser (GRGDS) peptide. Phosphorylation of extracellular signal-regulated kinase (ERK) and focal adhesion kinase (FAK) was increased by BMP-4. Enhancement of extracellular Fn fibrillogenesis and the mRNA expression of beta1 integrin by BMP-4 were inhibited by ERK kinase (MEK) inhibitor PD98059. These results suggest that the enhancement of extracellular Fn fibrillogenesis by BMP-4 in cultured osteoblasts is related to the increase of the synthesis of Fn and clustering of alpha5 and beta1 integrins. ERK is involved in the signaling pathway of BMP-4 in regulating Fn fibrillogenesis in osteoblasts.     

猫延髓嘴侧腹外侧区微量注射内皮素－1对心血管和肾交感神经活动的影响

采用脑立体定向和脑内微量注射技术研究了猫延髓嘴侧腹外侧区（ｒＶＬＭ）微量注射内皮素－１（ＥＴ－１），对平均动脉压（ＭＡＰ）、心率（ＨＲ）和肾交感神经活动（ＲＮＡ）的影响。结果表明：ｒＶＬＭ内微量注射ＥＴ－１（２ｐｍｏｌ，０．５μｌ），可显著升高平均动脉压、增加心率和增强肾交感神经活动，并存在量－效间的正相关关系。双侧颈部迷走神经切断后，不影响上述结果。静脉预先给与α－受体阻断剂（Ｒｅｇｉｔｉｎｅ，５ｍｇ／ｋｇ），能显著抑制ＥＴ－１的上述升压作用。放射免疫观察到，ｒＶＬＭ内微量注射ＥＴ－１后，血浆精氨酸升压素（ＡＶＰ）含量显著升高，其变化与血压变化呈显著一致。以上结果提示，（１）ｒＶＬＭ内ＥＴ－１参与心血管活动的中枢调节，并显示有部位特异性；（２）该调节作用主要通过改变交感神经传出活动实现，而与迷走神经活动无关；（３）ｒＶＬＭ内ＥＴ－１还可能激动下丘脑室旁核及视上核的升压素能神经元，从而参与心血管活动的调节。

Relation between exposure to respirable silica dust and silicosis in a tungsten mine in China.

To estimate the quantitative relation between exposure to respirable silica dust and risk of an attack of silicosis, 1151 workers exposed to silica dust and employed from 1958 to 1987 in a tungsten mine in China were investigated. The results showed that the ratio of respirable silica dust concentration to total silica dust concentration was 0.529. Then, the total silica dust concentration in historical surveillance and monitoring data was converted to respirable silica dust concentration. The free silica content in respirable dust determined by x ray diffraction averaged 24.7%. Multiple logistic regression was used for the dichotomous dependent variables (presence or absence of silicosis). The independent variables in the multiple logistic regression with presence of silicosis as the dependent variable were age when first exposed, tuberculosis (presence or absence), and cumulative exposure to respirable silica dust. The partial regression coefficient of individual cumulative exposure was estimated as 0.079. It implied a positive association between exposure to respirable silica dust and risk of an attack of silicosis. The exposure limit for respirable silica dust was estimated as 0.24 mg/m3 under given conditions.
