Involvement of glutamate receptors,lipases, and phospholipases in long-term potentiation and neurodegeneration

Glutamate is the primary excitatory amino acid in the mammalian central nervous system. Normal excitation of glutamate receptors initiates the stimulation of phospholipases and lipases with the generation of second messengers that are necessary for normal cell function. The overstimulation of glutamate receptors can initiate a cascade of biochemical events including stimulation of membrane phospholipid turnover, excessive calcium entry, abnormal phosphorylation, and proteolysis. These events may be responsible for neuronal injury and degeneration found in Alzheimer disease, ischemia, spinal cord trauma, epilepsy, and Huntington disease.     

用Fura-2测定周围血单个核细胞内游离钙浓度

本文用Fura-2测定了周围血单个核细胞内游离钙浓度，并对有关实验条件进行了探讨。对比研究表明，血标本在4℃保存4小时对测定结果无显著影响，测定标本中单个核细胞数以10~5～10~6/ml为宜。认为测定单个核细胞内游离钙浓度对判断单个核细胞的功能状况有一定帮助。     

对不同月龄雄性大鼠成骨细胞内钙和钙通道电流的实验研究

目的研究不同月龄的雄性大鼠成骨细胞内钙浓度及钙通道电流是否存在差异.方法采用二次酶消化法分离不同月龄(分别为1、2、3、5、7、9、11、13、15)雄性大鼠的原代成骨细胞,通过激光扫描共聚焦技术测定细胞内游离钙浓度([Ca2+]i)(以平均荧光强度表示),同时应用全细胞膜片钳技术记录成骨细胞膜钙电流(ICa)的变化.结果共聚焦结果显示随月龄增加,成骨细胞内[Ca2+]i逐渐降低,但相邻2月龄组之间细胞内[Ca2+]i无显著性差异(P＞0.05);1、2、3月龄组与11、13、15月龄组成骨细胞内[Ca2+]i有显著性差异(P＜0.05),5、7、9月龄组与各组相比均无差异(P＞0.05).应用全细胞膜片钳技术发现刺激电压为+10 mV时,2、7、13月龄组鼠ICa分别为(-392.77±97.07)pA、(-330.33±33.86)pA和(-287.68±71.01)pA,13月龄组鼠与2月龄组鼠相比,ICa明显降低(P＜0.05),而7月龄组鼠与2月龄组鼠和13月龄组鼠相比,ICa均没有明显差异(P＞0.05).结论不同月龄大鼠成骨细胞内[Ca2+]i存在差异,其机制可能与细胞膜上钙通道活性改变相关.

hCG/ATP-induced Leydig cell calcium channel reaction at different extracellular calcium ion concentration

Objective: To study the calcium channel reaction of human Leydig cells induced by hCG/ATP at different extracellular calcium ion concentrations. Methods: The Leydig cell calcium ion concentration was examined with laser confocal microscope, when the cells were stimulated with hCG/ATP at different extracellular calcium contrations. Results: With calcium-containing extracellular fluid, the Leydig cells were sensitive to hCG stimulation and when the extracellular fluid was calcium-free, the Leydig cells did not respond to the stimulation. However, the Leydig cells did respond to ATP stimulation no matter the extracellular fluid contained calcium or not. Conclusion: In human Leydig cells, there are calcium channels sensitive to hCG and ATP. The extracellular calcium ion concentration plays an important role in the regulation of Leydig cell metabolism by hCG/ATP.     

Phase II Trial of Fludarabine Phosphate in Multiple Myeloma Using a Loading Dose and Continuous Infusion Schedule

A phase II trial of fludarabine phosphate using a bolus and continuous infusion regimen in previously treated multiple myeloma was performed. No responses were observed in eleven patients. There was no significant non-hematologic toxicity noted. Fludarabine phosphate is inactive in multiple myeloma using this schedule.     

CLINICAL NEUROPHARMACOLOGY OF CALCIUM ANTAGONISTS

Summary— Experimental and clinical data clearly demonstrate that calcium antagonists (CA) may have an action on the central nervous system (CNS). The cerebrovascular action of CA justifies their use in cerebral ischaemia, vasospasm and hypoxia. Several clinical trials have demonstrated such beneficial effects. On the other hand a number of reports indicate that CA may have a direct neuronal effect, although most of such trials have not been verified or are mere case reports. In addition, the large number of conditions susceptible to being corrected by CA is impressive: epilepsy, pain, dystonia, dyskinesia, psychiatric conditions, etc. Other papers are disconcerting that report extrapyramidal disorders induced by flunarizine and cinnarizine in the elderly, whereas nicardipine does not produce such side effects and may even alleviate some parkinsonian symptoms. In various experimental models (e.g. stroke, oedema), pharmacological effects have been shown to vary from one compound to the other. Two main questions are yet to be answered: 1) has the direct neuronal effect of CA been clearly established? 2) are the multiple clinical effects on the CNS really linked to calcium antagonism?     

Cobalt-dependent potentiation of net inward current density in Helix aspersa neurons.

A low concentration of transition metal ions Co2+ and Ni2+ increases the inward current density in neurons from the land snail Helix aspersa. The currents were measured using a single electrode voltage-clamp/internal perfusion method under conditions in which the external Na+ was replaced by Tris+, the predominant external current carrying cation was Ca2+, and the internal perfusate contained 120 mM Cs+/0 K+; 30 mM tetraethylammonium (TEA) was added externally to block K+ current. In the presence of Co2+ (3 mM) or Ni2+ (0.5 mM) inward Ca2+ currents were stimulated normally by voltage-dependent activation of Ca2+ channels. There was a 5-10% decrease in the rate of rise of the inward current. The principal effect of Co2+ and Ni2+ in increasing the current density seems to be a decrease in the rate at which the inward currents decline during a depolarizing voltage pulse. The results may be due to a decrease in a voltage-dependent or Ca(2+)-dependent outward current and/or an inhibition of Ca2+ channel inactivation. Outward current under these conditions (zero internal K+) was significant and most likely due to Cs+ efflux through the voltage-activated or Ca(2+)-activated nonspecific cation channels. Co2+ is an extremely effective blocker of this outward current. These results are not an artifact of internal perfusion or the special ionic conditions. Intracellular recording of unperfused neurons in normal Helix Ringer's solution showed that the Ca(2+)-dependent action potential duration was increased significantly by low concentrations of Co2+. This result is consistant with the Co(2+)-dependent increase in inward (depolarizing) current seen in voltage-clamp experiments.
