RENIN GENE POLYMORPHISM ASSOCIATED WITH ALDOSTERONE RESPONSIVENESS TO THE RENINANGIOTENSIN SYSTEM IN PATIENTS WITH ALDOSTERONE-PRODUCING ADENOMAS

1. Aldosterone levels in patients with unilateral aldosterone-producing adenomas may be responsive or unresponsive to the renin-angiotensin system, with the former often previously misdiagnosed as bilateral adrenal hyperplasia. 2. In tumours from patients in the responsive subgroup, renin mRNA is expressed in greater amounts than in tumours from patients in the unresponsive subgroup, or in normal adrenals. 3. We compared the frequency of four renin gene polymorphisms in peripheral blood DNA from the two subgroups and found significant associations between BglI, TaqI and HinfI restriction fragment length polymorphisms (RFLP) and aldosterone responsiveness. 4. Allelic variation in the constitutive renin gene was associated with a specific cause of hypertension.

聚合酶链反应产物特异性的阳性证实

以聚合酶链反应(PCR)法在mRNA水平检测T淋巴细胞受体α链可变区基因表达为例,介绍用~(32)P标记的人工合成寡核苷酸探针对PCR产物特异性作阳性证实的方法。该法以干琼脂糖凝胶作为支持物、相对较为简便和省财。用Ca探针以干凝胶作支持物的杂交结果,证实29个Vα基因的PCR扩增中物均为特异性的,放射自显影的带型与位置和溴乙锭染色所示完全吻合。     

Immunoglobulin Gene Rearrangement in Plasma Cell Dyscrasias: Detection of Small Clonal Cell Populations in Peripheral Blood and Bone Marrow

The bone marrow (BM) and peripheral blood (PB) samples of 71 patients with plasma cell dyscrasias were analysed by the Southern blot technique for the presence of clonal immunoglobulin (Ig) gene rearrangements. 53% of BM samples examined were archival material such as air dried BM slides or frozen trephine biopsies. The results were related to bone marrow plasmacytosis as determined by cytology and flow cytometry, and other clinical parameters. Clonal Ig gene rearrangements were found in BM samples of 45 (83%) of 54 MM patients and in 3 of 6 patients with monoclonal gammopathy of unknown significance (MGUS). Clonal cell populations in the PB were detected in 11 (30%) of 37 examined MM patients, but in none of the patients with MGUS or solitary plasmacytoma of bone. PB involvement was associated with progressive disease. Circulating monoclonal cells were significantly associated with higher M-protein levels (p 0.05). Thus, circulating clonal precursor cells are encountered more frequently in active MM.     

p53 Protein expression in laryngeal squamous cell carcinomas bearing wild-type and mutated p53 gene

We performed an immunohistochemical analysis to investigate the expression of p53 protein in a panel of 18 laryngeal squamous cell carcinomas, 15 primary tumours and three in relapse, previously analysed by us for the presence of p53 gene mutations. Dysplastic and/or normal surrounding mucosa was evaluated in 15 different tumours. The results of our study are the following: (1) expression of p53 protein was observed in one out of five tumours positive for p53 gene mutations (20%) and in 10 out of 13 (80%) negative cases; (2), p53 protein over-expression was frequently observed in normal and/or dysplastic mucosa surrounding either wild-type (7/11) or mutated p53 tumours (2/4); (3), p53 immunoreactive cells showed a pattern of distribution in normal and mildly/moderately dysplastic mucosa (basal layers), different from that in severely dysplastic mucosa (whole thickness). These data further support the hypothesis that p53 protein over-expression may be a marker of the earliest phases of multistep tumorigenesis in laryngeal squamous cell carcinoma.     

天蚕素A-蛙皮肽杂合肽基因的表达及产物抗菌活性测定

目的 研究天蚕素A-蛙皮肽杂合肽基因[CA（1-8）-MA（1-12）]抗菌肽的抗菌活性。方法 将天蚕素A-蛙皮肽杂合肽基因抗菌肽的人工基因克隆到具有自切割功能的表达载体pTYB12上，并在大肠杆菌（E.coli)BL21(DE3)中进行表达，表达产物用几丁质树脂进行了亲和吸附，自切割后洗脱得到抗菌肽，进行透析以去除盐类物质，最后用大肠杆菌与金黄色葡萄球菌进行活性检测。结果 天蚕素A-蛙皮肽杂合肽[CA（1-8）-MA（1-12）]对大肠杆菌与金黄色葡萄球菌均有一定的抗菌活性。结论 天蚕素A-蛙皮肽杂合肽具有抗菌活性。其抑瘤活性的研究还有待于进一步研究。
