Expression of 5α-Reductase Type 2 Gene in Human Testis, Epididymis and Vas Deferens

Objectives To study the expression pattern of 5α-reductase type 2 gene in human male reproductive organsMethods The expression level of 5α-reductase type 2 gene inhuman testis, epididymis and vas deferens tissues was determined by in situ hybridization using Digoxin labeled 5α-reductase type 2 cRNA probe.Results The brown granules of hybridizing signals distributed in the cytoplasm of Sertoli and Leydig cells of the testis, the principle cells of epididymis and the epithelial cells of vas deferens, but there was no positive signal in the nuclei of above-mentioned cells. No positive signal was observed in germ cells, basement of the testis, interstium of epididymis and basement, as well as smooth muscle of vas deferens. Conclusion This study confirmed that the 5α-reductase type 2 gene expressed in Sertoli , Leydig cells of the testis, and the principle cells of epididymis. The expression pattern of the gene in these cells in human was similar to that of rat and monkey. The presence of 5α-reductase t     

The effect of lycopene on cytochrome P450 isoenzymes and P-glycoprotein by using human liver microsomes and Caco-2 cell monolayer model

Lycopene is widely used as a dietary supplement. However, the effects of lycopene on cytochrome P450 (CYP) enzymes or P-glycoprotein (P-gp) are not comprehensive. The present study was performed to investigate the effects of lycopene on the CYP enzymes and P-gp activity. A cocktail method was used to evaluate the activities of CYP3A4, CYP2C9, CYP2C19, CYP2D6 and CYP2E1. Caco-2 cell monolayer model was carried out to assay lycopene on P-gp activity. The results indicated that lycopene had a moderate inhibitory effect on CYP2E1, with IC50 value of 43.65?μM, whereas no inhibitory effects on CYP3A4, CYP2C19, CYP2D6 and CYP2E1, with IC50 values all over 100?μM. In addition, lycopene showed almost no inhibitory effect on rhodamine-123 efflux and uptake (p?>?.05), indicated no effects on P-gp activity. In conclusion, there should be required attention when lycopene are coadministered with other drugs that are metabolised by CYP2E1.

猴脑震荡时某些生化、生理指标的改变

观察了猴脑震荡时某些生化、生理指标的改变，为动物实验中脑震荡的判断提供依据。在动态加载机上对24只猴进行了头部冲击，另4只猴不进行冲击作为对照。依据有关临床诊断标准判别，冲击后8只猴发生了单纯性脑震荡，4只为脑震荡伴脑损伤。结果表明，发生了脑震荡的猴出现了暂短生理反射减弱或消失，呼吸和心率减慢，脑干神经细胞有尼氏体减少现象。脑震荡伴脑损伤猴脑脊液中检出红细胞和肌酸激酶脑型同功酶，单纯性脑震荡猴及无脑损伤猴均未检出。     

Kinetics and localization of brain phosphate activated glutaminase.

The cellular concentration of phosphate, the main activator of phosphate activated glutaminase (PAG) is rather constant in brain and kidney. The enzyme activity, however, is modulated by a variety of compounds affecting the binding of phosphate, such as glutamate, calcium, certain long chain fatty acids, fatty acyl CoA derivatives, members of the tricarboxylic acid cycle and protons (Kvamme et al. [2000] Neurochem. Res. 25:1407-1419). Therefore, the kinetic and allosteric properties of the enzyme are essential for regulating the enzyme activity in situ, especially because the enzymically active pool of PAG is assumed to have an external localization in the inner mitochondrial membrane, being exposed to cytosolic variation in the content of effectors. This has largely been overlooked. A hypothetical model for the allosteric interactions based on the sequential induced fit allosteric model by Koshland et al. ([1966] Biochemistry 5:365-385) is presented. Furthermore, it has been generally accepted that there exist only two isoforms of PAG, the kidney PAG that is similar to brain PAG, and the liver PAG. Therefore, the immunoreactivity of brain cells against kidney PAG antibodies has been considered a measure of PAG protein. Gomez-Fabre et al. ([2000] Biochem. J. 345:365-375) recently found, however, that a PAG mRNA from human breast cancer ZR75 cells is present in human brain and liver, but not in the kidney. We observed only traces of PAG immunoreactivity in cultured astrocytes and cultured neuroblastoma cells, regardless whether antibodies against the C- and N-termini of kidney PAG or antibodies against liver PAG were used, but considerable enzyme activity, demonstrating hitherto unknown isoforms of PAG (Torgner et al. [2001] FEBS Lett. 268(Suppl 1):PS2-031).     

Isoenzymes of γ-glutamyl transpeptidase in liver diseases

Summary A new method for the separation of isoenzymes of-glutamyl-transpeptidase is described, using electrophoresis on acetate cellulose gel and a developing solution composed by-glutamyl-naphthylamide, and a colored diazonium compound.The method permits the separation of up to four different isoenzymes, which we called-GT₁,-GT₂,-GT₃,-GT₄, the first two showing an electrophoretic migration similar to that of ₁- and ₂-globulins and the other two to that of-globulins.The present technique has proved its usefulness in detecting isoenzymes in serum with values of total-glutamyl-transpeptidase higher than 80 U/L.The application of this method in 52 patients with different types of biliary obstruction and hepatocellular damage has shown that it provides new possibilities in differential diagnosis.     

Expression of alpha-amylase isoenzymes and trypsin by the proliferating epithelium of large intrahepatic bile ducts and intrahepatic peribiliary glands in hepatolithiasis

The expression of alpha-amylase isoenzymes (pancreatic and salivary) and trypsin by the epithelium of large intrahepatic bile ducts and peribiliary glands was examined immunohistochemically in hepatolithiasis ( n = 22), extrahepatic biliary obstruction ( n = 20) and normal liver ( n = 22). Hepatolithiasis was associated with marked proliferation of bile duct cells and peribiliary glands. Expression of pancreatic and salivary amylase was observed in the proliferating bile duct cells and peribiliary glands of all livers, and trypsin was found in 68% of the livers. In extrahepatic biliary obstruction, proliferation of the biliary epithelium was less marked, but expression of amylase isoenzymes was observed in all livers and trypsin was found in 50%. All normal livers showed expression of amylase isoenzymes in large intrahepatic bile ducts, septal bile ducts and peribiliary glands, and trypsin was found in 73%. The density of enzyme-containing acini was highest in hepatolithiasis, intermediate in extrahepatic biliary obstruction and lowest in normal liver. These results show that the proliferating biliary epithelium in hepatolithiasis contains amylase isoenzymes and trypsin and that biliary epithelium retains the ability to produce these enzymes after proliferation, suggesting that a large amount of amylase isoenzymes and trypsin may be secreted into the bile ducts in hepatolithiasis. These enzymes may play an important role in the pathophysiology of hepatolithiasis.
