大肠癌Lovo细胞E-Cadherin,N-Cadherin的表达及化学治疗药物对其表达的影响

目的：研究大肠癌Lovo细胞上皮钙粘附素(E-Cadherin)，神经钙粘附素(N-Cadherin)的表达及常用化学治疗药物对其表达的影响。方法：应用逆转录聚合酶链反应(RT-PCR)法检测大肠癌Lovo细胞E-Cad-herin，N-Cadherin的表达，并通过几种不同的化疗药物(顺铂、吡柔比星、丝裂霉素、5-FU)不同浓度和时间作用后，对E-Cadherin，N-Cadherin表达的影响。结果：不同化疗药物对大肠癌Lovo细胞N=Cadherin表达无影响，高浓度顺铂和高浓度吡柔比星二组出现-Cadherin表达，其它各组未见表达。结论：大肠癌常用的化疗药物无论低浓度持续用药，还是高浓度短时间用药，对大肠癌Lovo细胞N-Cadherin的表达无抑制作用，说明上述药物不能通过抑制N—Cadherin的表达，而起到抗癌作用。高浓度顺铂和吡柔比星二组显示E-Cadherin的表达，表现出抑癌的作用，从而提示在大肠癌化疗时，顺铂和吡柔比星更适合于高浓度短时间应用。     

二氧化硅活化巨噬细胞中早期生长反应因子-1及其信号转导通路的研究

目的 探讨早期生长反应因子(Egr-1)及其信号转导在矽肺发生发展中的作用。方法用细胞免疫荧光、原位杂交方法检测二氧化硅(SiO2)刺激后Egr-1的表达定位,用报道质粒及EMSA检测其活性改变;用激酶活性分析法检测si0：刺激巨噬细胞后ERK1／2活性改变,进一步用激酶抑制剂初步探讨SiO2活化Egr-1的信号转导通路。结果SiO2刺激RAW264．7细胞短时间Egr-1核蛋白表达及转录因子明显增加;且在处理后30～60min,Egr-1核蛋白结合活性明显升高(为未处理组的20倍);在刺激后15min ERK1／2活性开始升高,30min达高峰(活性为对照组的29倍)而后渐降至基础水平;进一步用激酶阻断发现,Egr-1 mRNA及蛋白表达均减少。结论SiO2能激活巨噬细胞中Egr-1,且此过程可能由ERK1／2、p38介导,提示SiO2-ERK1／2、p38-Egr-1通路可能在矽肺发生发展过程中起重要作用。

The instability of membrane markers expressed by human monocytes and macrophages in culture

Surface markers were tested on freshly isolated human monocytes and following their in vitro maturation to macrophages. The markers tested were HLA-DR antigens, receptors for the Fc of IgG and complement as well as membrane markers defined by monoclonal antibodies. The results revealed a dynamic expression of some of the markers on monocytes which was influenced by several variables. The expression of the markers was modulated by the presence of different sera, by treatment with lymphokines and interferon and following the in vitro maturation of monocytes to macrophages. The most unstable marker was found to be the HLA-DR, which was modulated by all these variables. The 63D3 was affected by different sera and culture supernatant, as well as following the maturation of monocytes to macrophages, but not by lymphokines and interferon. One of the markers, the Mac 120, was found to be relatively stable and did not change significantly following the maturation of monocytes to macrophages. The Fc and complement receptors were also stable in their expression under these conditions, but were probably partially blocked in the presence of human serum. These results indicated that at least some of the heterogeneity related to the monocyte population was probably not due to the occurrence of stable subsets of cells, but rather to reversible changes in marker expression.

Cytocompatibility of Three Corneal Cell Types with Amniotic Membrane

Rabbit limbal corneal epithelial cells, corneal endothelial cells and keratocytes were cultured on amniotic membrane. Phase contrast microscope examination was performed daily. Histological and scan electron microscopic examinations were carried out to observe the growth, arrangement and adhesion of cultivated cells. Results showed that three corneal cell types seeded on amniotic membrane grew well and had normal cell morphology. Cultured cells attached firmly on the surface of amniotic membrane. Corneal epithelial cells showed singular layer or stratification. Cell boundaries were formed and tightly opposed. Corneal endothelial cells showed cobblestone or polygonal morphologic characteristics that appeared uniform in size. The cellular arrangement was compact. Keratocytes elongated and showed triangle or dendritic morphology with many intercellular joints which could form networks. In conclusion, amniotic membrane has good scaffold property, diffusion effect and compatibility with corneal cells. The basement membrane side of amniotic membrane facilitated the growth of corneal epithelial cells and endothelial cells and cell junctions were tightly developed. The spongy layer of amniotic membrane facilitated the growth of keratocytes and intercellular joints were rich. Amniotic membrane is an ideal biomaterial for layering tissue engineered cornea.     

Colocalization of glutamate and glycine in bipolar cell terminals of the human retina

Human retinae from surgical specimens rapidly fixed in a glutaraldehyde/formaldehyde mixture were subjected to postembedding, immunogold immunocytochemistry of glutamate and glycine, and subsequently analysed in an electron microscope. The two amino acids were visualised in the same tissue sections by the use of two different gold particle sizes. All bipolar cell perikarya and terminals showed significant glutamate labelling with mean gold particle densities 3–4 times higher than those of the retinal, non-neural pigment epithelial and Müller cells. Bipolar cell terminals displayed significantly higher glutamate labelling density than the bipolar cell bodies, as would be expected of glutamatergic neurons. A subpopulation of the glutamate-immunolabelled bipolar cell bodies (18%) and terminals (32%) also exhibited strong glycine labelling (7–8 times that of pigment epithelial and Müller cells). These glutamate-glycine positive terminals established contacts with amacrine cell processes and ganglion cell dendrites and were localised almost exclusively at between 44% and 88% depth of the inner plexiform layer, indicating that they belong to the ON cone bipolar system. This subpopulation of terminals was endowed with significantly higher glycine labelling density than the glycine positive bipolar cell bodies. These results show that human bipolar cell terminals colocalise glutamate and glycine and provide the first direct demonstration of an enrichment of these two amino acids in the same presynaptic element.

目的:研究壳聚糖/明胶共混材料对离体培养的骨髓基质细胞粘附及增殖的影响,寻找骨髓基质细胞新的载体材料。方法:取2周龄幼兔的长骨采集骨髓,培养骨髓基质细胞,体外扩增1周后,种植于纯壳聚糖和壳聚糖/明胶共混材料的表面。在倒置光学显微镜、扫描电镜的辅助下,观察细胞的粘附和生长情况,种植7d后用透射电镜观察细胞功能状况,用MTT方法检测种植后2d、4d、6d、8d细胞的增殖情况。结果:壳聚糖/明胶共混材料和纯壳聚糖能促进骨髓基质细胞在材料表面粘附并保持其在机体内的形态。壳聚糖/明胶共混材料表面的骨髓基质细胞功能活跃。在材料表面和培养板表面培养的骨髓基质细胞均能持续增殖,而壳聚糖/明胶共混材料能显著促进骨髓基质细胞的增殖(P<0.01)。结论:壳聚糖/明胶共混材料保持了壳聚糖的某些生物活性,同时由于加入明胶,能促进骨髓基质细胞的增殖,可作为骨髓基质细胞的载体应用于组织工程。     

生物陶瓷微颗粒引发的细胞和组织损害

为论证生物陶瓷烧结不完全形成的微颗粒（〈5μm）引发细胞和组织损害的假设，对该类颗粒在体内和体外的细胞和组织损害进行了研究：（1）对4种双相生物陶瓷（BCP）进行细胞毒性试验。试验发现所有的浸出液出现细胞毒性，但是浸出液经离心后，毒性消失；（2）对羟基磷灰石（HA）、p磷酸三钙（pTCP）和40％pTCP／60％HA混合物微颗粒进行细胞抑制实验。结果显示随着微颗粒的浓度增加，成纤维细胞活力下降；而当微颗粒浓度达到一万个／细胞时，细胞活力和增殖能力完全消失；（3）HA，pTCP和BCP陶瓷颗粒（500-1500um）被植入到兔子股骨远端，种植12周后β-TCP的降解率为40％，BCP为5％，但是HA接近不降解。新骨形成在β-TCP（21％）和HA（18％）比BCP（12％）更为明显。同时BCP颗粒的周围有很多的微颗粒形成，可见吞噬细胞吞噬微颗粒，形成吞噬体。以上结果提示，微颗粒可能是局部炎症和细胞损害的首要原因，而且有可能影响骨形成。因此，我们必须注意生物陶瓷烧结的重要性，它们的烧结不良就可形成微颗粒，引发细胞和组织的损害。特别是BCP陶瓷含有两种需要不同烧结温度的粉体，它的烧结难度较高，很易形成微颗粒。
