Induction of apoptotic cell death in rat thymus and spleen after a bolus injection of methamphetamine

We examined whether methamphetamine (MAP) induced apoptotic cell death in vivo. Male Wistar rats were injected intraperitoneally with 25 mg MAP/Kg body weight and were sacrificed at 4, 8 and 24 h. As early as 4 h after a single dose of MAP, DNA ladder bands representing DNA fragmentation into multiples of the internucleosomal DNA length of about 180 by were observed by gel electrophoresis in thymic and splenic DNA. DNA from control rats injected with 1 ml physiological saline/Kg body weight showed no ladder band patterns. The proportion of fragmented DNA from the thymus increased in a time-dependent manner up to 8 h and faint ladder band patterns were observed at 24 h, indicating that cell death via apoptosis occurred at an early stage and then apoptotic bodies were scavenged. DNA fragmentation in the thymus and spleen induced with MAP was also confirmed by the terminal deoxynucleotidyl transferase-mediated dUTPbiotin nick end labeling (TUNEL) method in situ. In control thymus samples, stained cells were numerous in the cortex but sparse in the medulla. At the boundary area between the cortex and medulla, stained cells were seen as a layer. In the MAP-treated rats, stained cells were increased and dispersed equally in the cortex and medulla. In control spleen samples, stained cells were numerous in all areas excluding the germinal centers. Cells at the germinal centers were stained intensively in MAP-treated rat spleen. Light microscopical analyses allowed us to identify lymphocytes during the course of apoptotic cell death. Electron microscopic studies showed morphological landmarks for the process of cellular apoptosis in both organs e.g. lymphocytes with chromatin condensed into crescents at the periphery of the nuclei and apoptotic bodies. These results indicate that MAP induced cell death of the thymic and splenic lymphocytes via apoptosis.

Effect of systemic zinc administration on delayed neuronal death in the gerbil hippocampus

The divalent cation zinc has been reported to possess several physiological properties such as blocking apoptotic cell death through an inhibitory effect on Ca²⁺-Mg²⁺ endonuclease activity, or modulating the neurotoxicity via glutamate receptor subtypes. In the present study, we investigated the effect of peripherally injected zinc on delayed neuronal death seen in the hippocampus after transient global ischemia, in order to elucidate a possible beneficial role on zinc in ischemic neuronal cell death. Forty-five adult Mongolian gerbils of both sexes underwent transient bilateral clipping of the common carotid arteries for 3 min. In the pretreated animals, ZnCl₂ (20 mg/kg) was injected subcutaneously once, 1 h before ischemia (superacute group; n=6) or twice at 24 and 48 h before ischemia (subacute group; n=14). Histological survey was carried out 3 days later by in situ DNA fragmentation method and 4 days later by hematoxylin-eosin staining by semiquantatively counting dead neurons in the CA1 sector. Subacute zinc pre-administration significantly reduced the nuclear damage and subsequent neuronal death; however, superacutely pre-administered zinc did not protect hippocampal neurons against ischemia but it did not aggravate the effect of ischemia, either. The present study suggested that transfer of exogenous zinc into the intracellular space is required for neuroprotection, presumably via the anti-endonuclease activity.     

细胞内钙信号的变化调节血管平滑肌细胞增殖

目的探讨细胞内钙信号的变化对大鼠血管平滑肌细胞(VSMC)增殖作用的影响及其对细胞内信号转导机制的变化。方法以培养的大鼠VSMC为模型,用雷尼丁(RY)剌激VSMC内贮Ca2 释放入胞浆,用3H亮氨酸及3H胸腺嘧啶掺入量作为反应VSMC增殖的指标,加入不同的细胞内信号转导阻断剂,观察对RY效应的影响。结果与对照组相比,RY浓度依赖性地促进细胞内游离钙浓度的增高,差异显著(P<0.05或0.01)。RY剌激组蛋白核酸合成速率明显增高,与对照组相比差异显著(P<0.01);尼卡地平(Nicardipine),蛋白激酶C抑制剂(H7),钙调素激酶(CaMPK)抑制剂(W7)和丝裂素活化蛋白激酶(MAPK)抑制剂(PD98059)能明显抑制RY介导的VSMC蛋白核酸合成速率增高,与RY剌激组相比差异显著(P<0.01)。结论细胞内钙信号的变化明显促进VSMC增殖,但其效应可能通过Ca2 、PKC、MAPK来介导。钙离子拮抗剂可抑制血管平滑肌细胞增殖。
