TGF—β1对膀胱移行细胞癌细胞粘附性的调节

为了解ＴＧＦβ１对肿瘤粘附性的调节，采用Ｎｏｒｔｈｅｒｎ杂交分析测定了两个膀胱癌细胞系ＴＧＦβ１及ＦＮｍＲＮＡ的表达，并用体外测定方法检测了ＴＧＦβ１对两细胞系粘附性质的调节。结果表明：ＴＧＦβ１仅可使低表达ＦＮ的２５３Ｊ细胞的粘附性增强，而这种增强与ＦＮ表达的增加成正比；同样浓度的ＴＧＦβ１对高表达ＦＮ的６４７Ｖ细胞的粘附性无明显影响。提示肿瘤细胞粘附能力的可变性是其具有转移能力的原因之一。     

前列腺带性结构及其雄激素、雌激素、表皮生长因子受体分布特征的研究

为了探讨雄激素受体（ＡＲ）、雌激素受体（ＥＲ）、孕激素受体（ＰＲ）和表皮生长因子受体（ＥＧＦＲ）在前列腺带性结构中的分布，应用单饱和剂量测定法，分别测定了前列腺移行带、外周带组织中ＡＲ、ＥＲ、ＰＲ和ＥＧＦＲ的含量。结果表明，在１１例前列腺增生症（ＢＰＨ）患者２２份标本中，移行带和周围带ＡＲ全部阳性；尽管ＡＲ浓度个体差异很大，但是两带之间仍有密切相关性（Ｐ＜０００１）；周围带ＡＲ浓度高于移行带，两带ＡＲ浓度均高于ＰＲ、ＥＲ；ＰＲ和ＥＲ在前列腺带性结构上没有明显差异。ＥＧＦＲ在移行带明显高于周围带。研究证实了ＡＲ、ＥＲ、ＰＲ，ＥＧＦＲ在前列腺移行带和周围带上的分布特征。     

人卵巢癌中肿瘤转移抑制基因nm23-H1编码蛋白的表达

目的：探讨人卵巢癌标本中，肿瘤转移抑制基因ｎｍ２３－Ｈ１编码蛋白ＮＤＰＫ－Ａ表达的临床意义及其与预后的关系。方法：应用免疫组织化学抗生蛋白链菌素－过氧化酶结合（Ｓ－Ｐ）法，检测５８例人卵巢癌标本中ｎｍ２３－Ｈ１蛋白水平。结果：ｎｍ２３－Ｈ１蛋白的表达与患者手术时是否有淋巴结及大网膜转移相关（Ｐ〈０．０５），但原发灶与转移灶间的阳性表达率相差不显著；与患者术后生存时间密切相关（Ｐ〈０．０１），术后生     

A novel cognition enhancer NS-105 modulates adenylate cyclase activity through metabotropic glutamate receptors in primary neuronal culture

The effect of (+)-5-oxo-D-prolinepiperidinamide monohydrate (NS-105), a novel cognition enhancer, on adenylate cyclase activity was investigated in cultured neurons of the mouse cerebral cortex. NS-105 (10^–7 and 10^–6 M) inhibited forskolin-stimulated cyclic AMP formation, an action that was dependent on pertussis toxin-sensitive G proteins. Conversely, in pertussis toxin-pretreated neurons, NS-105 (10^–7 –10^–5 M) significantly enhanced the forskolin-stimulated cyclic AMP formation, and this action was completely reversed by cholera toxin. A metabotropic glutamate receptor agonist (1S, 3R)-1-aminocyclopentane-1, 3-dicarboxylic acid (1S, 3R-ACPD) produced similar bi-directional actions on the cyclic AMP formation. Both of these inhibitory and facilitatory actions of NS-105 and 1S, 3R-ACPD were blocked by L(+)-2-amino-3-phosphopropinoic acid (L-AP3). NS-105 (10^–6 M) and 1S, 3R-ACPD (10^–4 M) significantly enhanced isoproterenol- and adenosine-stimulated cyclic AMP formation. The enhancement of such Gs-coupled receptor agonists-stimulated cyclic AMP formation was also produced by quisqualate but not by L(+)-2-amino-4-phosphonobutanoate (L-AP4). The phosphoinositides hydrolysis was enhanced by 1S, 3R-ACPD (10^–4 M) but not by NS-105 (10^–6 M), however, 1S, 3R-ACPD-induced increase in phosphoinositides turnover was attenuated by NS-105. These findings suggest that NS-105 stimulates metabotropic glutamate receptor subclasses that are coupled both negatively and positively to adenylate cyclase, but it acts as an antagonist at the receptor subclasses that are linked to phosphoinositides hydrolysis.

Hereditary characteristics of enzyme deficiency and dermatoglyphics in congenital color blindness

The hereditary characteristics of enzyme deficiency and dermatoglyphics in congenital color blindness (CCB) were studied. We propose that there is a linkage between the two loci on the X-chromosome determining CCB and glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase (G6PD), based on our study of a high incidence of G6PD deficiency in 156 male cases with CCB. The CCB gene is closely linked with that of G6PD deficiency from our pedigree investigations. The rise in the frequency of eight or more whorls, the low value of atd angle and the presenting rate of real palmar patterns of the thenar, hypothenar and I, areas presented the hereditary traits of congenital color blindness.     

Histamine level and transglutaminase activity may provide indication of the development of spontaneous mammary tumor in C3H mice

Histamine (HA) concentrations and HA metabolizing enzyme activities were measured in macroscopically unchanged mammary glands and in tumor tissue of C3H mice carrying spontaneous mammary tumor as well as im mammary glands of control subjects matched for age.The great fall in HA level and the enzyme activities in tumor tissue was confirmed. In host mammary glands which showed no current evidence of neoplasm, consistently lower than normal HA concentrations and elevated transglutaminase (TG) activity were found, It is suggested, therefore, that HA level and TG activity may provide an early indication of the development of spontaneous mammary tumor.
