Pro-opiomelanocortin messenger ribonucleic acid and posttranslational processing of beta endorphin in spleen macrophages.

We have previously demonstrated low levels of immunoreactive (ir)-beta-endorphin (beta-EP) and ir-ACTH in a subpopulation of mouse spleen macrophages, which is consistent with an involvement of opioid peptides in modulation of immune responses. Gel chromatography studies suggested the presence of an approximately 3.5,000-molecular weight (mol wt) species, putatively beta-EP, an approximately 11.5,000-mol-wt species, putatively beta-lipotropin, and a higher molecular weight species (putative beta-EP precursor, pro-opiomelanocortin (POMC). In this study we have extended our original findings by demonstrating the presence of messenger RNA for POMC by the use of a complementary DNA probe and Northern blot analysis of extracts of mouse and rat spleen. In addition, using high performance liquid chromatography (HPLC), we have shown that the major endorphin species in mouse spleen macrophages is beta-EP1-31, and that there are smaller amounts of each of the acetylated forms, N-acetyl-beta-EP1-16 (alpha-endorphin), N-acetyl-beta-EP1-17 (gamma-endorphin), N-acetyl-beta-EP1-27, and N-acetyl-beta-EP1-31. We interpret these studies as showing that (a) the spleen is an organ of POMC synthesis and that (b) the predominant COOH-terminal product of macrophage POMC is the opiate-receptor active species beta-EP1-31.     

端粒酶突变体对肝癌细胞端粒酶活性的作用

目的　观察端粒酶突变体对肝癌细胞端粒酶活性和生长抑制的作用。方法　利用质脂体转染法在培养的肝癌细胞中导入端粒酶突变体，并与维甲酸和人参皂甙对照，利用TRAP－银染方法对不同时期肝癌细胞进行了端粒酶活性的测定，并观察各期细胞生长情况。结果　在加入端粒酶突变体后肝癌细胞端粒酶活性明显降低，细胞出现明显凋亡现象，其作用效果与维甲酸基本相同。结论　端粒酶突变体对肝癌细胞的抑制作用可能是通过抑制端粒酶活性途径实现的。     

德国小蠊成虫血淋巴游离氨基酸的测定

采用离心法收集羽化后不同天数的雌雄虫血淋巴，用意大利ＣＡＢＬＯＥＲＢＡ３Ａ３ｏ型氨基酸自动分析仪测定，共检出１０种氨基酸和１个氨残基，其氨基酸总量及每种氨基酸的含量与成虫性别、不同发育期有密切的关系。     

Sry监测体外扩增造血细胞植入效果的实验研究

目的：探讨Y染色体性别决定基因(Sry)作为评价和追踪造血细胞移植后植入状态检测指标的可行性。方法：根据Sry DNA序列设计引物及制备探针，然后进行PCR检测、斑点杂交和原位杂交．动态追踪经不同条件下体外扩增的纯系雄性小鼠BMMNC回输至雌性小鼠后的植入状态。结果：PCR结果显示在各移植组小鼠的骨髓有核细胞、脾细胞及外周血白细胞中均有Y染色体特异性序列的存在；斑点杂交结果显示在各回输组间并无明显差别，但用脾脏组织作原位杂交的结果则发现基质细胞支持扩增回输组的阳性颗粒数目与输注新鲜细胞组相似，但略少于雄性小鼠；而输注细胞因子扩增细胞实验组小鼠则明显少于雄性动物的阳性对照标本和基质细胞支持扩增回输组。结论：(1)经重复检测表明上述方法的重复性好，结果可信．可作为检测性别不同时造血干细胞移植效果的一种检测手段；(2)证实基质细胞支持下的体外扩增的造血细胞具有较好的植入能力。     

Basement membranes in adenoid cystic carcinoma. An immunohistochemical study.

Tissue samples from 30 patients with adenoid cystic carcinoma and 20 with adenocarcinoma of salivary gland origin were studied by immunohistochemical staining with specific antibodies to the four macromolecules that are present in normal basement membranes: type IV collagen, laminin, heparan sulfate proteoglycan, and entactin. In the adenoid cystic carcinoma samples, the four proteins were localized in different types of extracellular matrices in the tumor, namely pseudocystic spaces, hyaline stroma, and around tumor cell nests. The staining intensity was enhanced by pretreatment with hyaluronidase. The tumor cells of adenoid cystic carcinoma showed a tendency to proliferate with individual cells in contact with the basement membrane and to infiltrate through basement membrane-rich tissues, such as peripheral nerves, blood vessels, and skeletal muscles. In contrast, only circumferential staining of tumor cell nests was obtained in adenocarcinoma samples. The results suggest that adenoid cystic carcinoma is a tumor with affinity for basement membranes, and this basic feature is reflected in its histology and presumably in its biologic behavior. Immunostaining with antibodies to basement membrane proteins appears to be useful for differential diagnosis of some types of these two carcinomas.
