Survey of the Distribution of a Newly Characterized Receptor for Advanced Glycation End Products in Tissues

Advanced glycation end products (AGEs), the final products of nonenzymatic glycation and oxidation of proteins, are found in the plasma and accumulate in the tissues during aging and at an accelerated rate in diabetes. A novel integral membrane protein, termed receptor for AGE (RAGE), forms a central part of the cell surface binding site for AGEs. Using monospecific, polyclonal antibody raised to human recombinant and bovine RAGE, immunostaining of bovine tissues showed RAGE in the vasculature, endothelium, and smooth muscle cells and in mononuclear cells in the tissues. Consistent with these data, RAGE antigen and mRNA were identified in cultured bovine endothelium, vascular smooth muscle, and monocyte-derived macrophages. RAGE antigen was also visualized in bovine cardiac myocytes as well as in cultures of neonatal rat cardiac myocytes and in neural tissue where motor neurons, peripheral nerves, and a population of cortical neurons were positive. In situ hybridization confirmed the presence of RAGE mRNA in the tissues, and studies with rat PC12 pheochromocytes indicated that they provide a neuronal-related cell culture model for examining RAGE expression. Pathological studies of human atherosclerotic plaques showed infiltration of RAGE-expressing cells in the expanded intima. These results indicate that RAGE is present in multiple tissues and suggest the potential relevance of AGE-RAGE interactions for modulating properties of the vasculature as well as neural and cardiac function, prominent areas of involvement in diabetes and in the normal aging process.     

精神分裂症患者G72基因表达水平的研究

目的 本工作旨在检测精神分裂症（Schizophrenia）患者外周淋巴细胞中G72基因的表达情况，进而探讨G72基因的表达与精神分裂症的相关关系。 方法 工作在56例精神分裂症患者和84名年龄性别相匹配的对照中进行，在新鲜外周血样本中抽提总RNA，反转录成cDNA，基因表达量的检测在ABI Prism7900HT型序列监测系统上进行，采用TaqMan的方法对患者及对照组样本的mRNA进行定量，采集的荧光数据经SDS2.1软件自动处理，每个样本作三次平行检测，取平均值作为该样本的最终定量。数据应用SPSS统计软件进行处理，对组间基因表达水平的差异采用独立样本的T检验，调用本实验室G72基因单核苷酸多态性（SNPs）资料，用单因素方差分析的方法分析SNP与基因表达水平的关联性。结果 1.检测得到G72基因在对照组中的表达量为0.0586±0.0114amol/ng cDNA, 在精神分裂症患者组中的表达量为0.0498±0.0121amol/ng cDNA。2.经显著性检验， G72基因的表达水平在病例和对照组间差异无统计学意义，t=-0.512，df138，P=0.609，95%CI:-4.258~2.506。3.单因素方差分析结果显示，rs947267位置上的SNP与该基因的表达水平无相关，F=0.355，df2，χ2=0.703；而rs2181953位置上的SNP与G72基因表达水平相关联，F=6.275，df2，χ2=0.004。A/A基因型的患者基因表达水平显著高于其他基因型。结论：精神分裂症患者G72基因的表达量总体上较正常人并无显著变化，但rs2181953位置上的基因型会影响精神分裂症患者该基因的表达。

Absence of proteinase-activated receptor-1 signaling affords protection from bleomycin-induced lung inflammation and fibrosis

Activation of the coagulation cascade is commonly observed in the lungs of patients with both acute and chronic inflammatory and fibrotic lung disorders, as well as in animal models of these disorders. The aim of this study was to examine the contribution of the major thrombin receptor, proteinase-activated receptor-1 (PAR-1), during the acute inflammatory and chronic fibrotic phases of lung injury induced by intratracheal instillation of bleomycin in mice. Inflammatory cell recruitment and increases in bronchoalveolar lavage fluid (BALF) protein were attenuated by 56 +/- 10% (P < 0.05) and 53 +/- 12% (P < 0.05), respectively, in PAR-1-deficient (PAR-1-/-) mice compared with wild-type (WT) mice. PAR-1-/- mice were also protected from bleomycin-induced pulmonary fibrosis with total lung collagen accumulation reduced by 59 +/- 5% (P < 0.05). The protection afforded by PAR-1 deficiency was accompanied by significant reductions in pulmonary levels of the potent PAR-1-inducible proinflammatory and profibrotic mediators, monocyte chemoattractant protein-1 (MCP-1), transforming growth factor-beta-1 (TGF-beta1), and connective tissue growth factor/fibroblast-inducible secreted protein-12 (CTGF/FISP12). In addition, PAR-1 was highly expressed in inflammatory and fibroproliferative lesions in lung sections obtained from patients with fibrotic lung disease. These data show for the first time that PAR-1 signaling plays a key role in experimentally induced lung injury, and they further identify PAR-1 as one of the critical receptors involved in orchestrating the interplay between coagulation, inflammation, and remodeling in response to tissue injury.
