Expression of the cell surface antigen detected by the monoclonal antibody A7 in pancreatic carcinoma cell lines

In a previous study, we used a murine monoclonal antibody, A7, against human colon carcinoma as a drug-carrier to treat colorectal cancer.¹ In the present study, we found that MAb A7 also reacted immunohistochemically with 73% of human pancreatic carcinoma cell lines, with the A7 antigen mainly being detected on the cell surface. However, the A7 antigen was found in only 9% of the spent media of these human pancreatic carcinoma cell lines by ELISA. On the other hand, the positive incidence of CA19-9, POA, ferritin, CEA, DU-PAN-2 and SLX in those spent media was 100%, 64%, 64%, 55%, 55% and 36%, respectively. These results suggest that the A7 antigen may only rarely be shed into the sera of pancreatic cancer patients, in which case MAb A7 could be a suitable drug-carrier in targeting chemotherapy for pancreatic cancer patients.     

环孢素A体外抗曼氏血吸虫雄虫的电镜观察

MF1小鼠感染曼氏血吸虫六周后,经主动脉和门静脉灌注收虫.配对的成虫暴露在不含环孢素A及分别含有1微克/毫升、10微克/毫升、20微克/毫升的环孢素A的199型培养液中体外培养.药物导致的虫体损害分别作扫描电镜和透射电镜观察.药物作用后,雄虫外质膜损伤,外皮层基质出现水肿和空泡,分泌体减少.进行性表皮损害、肿胀以及皮(?)缺损最终导致皮质膜和合胞体的崩溃.本结果表明,环孢素A抗曼氏血吸虫的作用方式是直接的.而外皮质似乎是药物首先攻击的部位.     

内毒素导致白细胞急剧升、降10倍一例报导

目的探索白细胞(WBC)数小时内急剧升、降原因。方法收集患者入院时首次血、尿细菌培养结果;取患者1周内7次EDTA-K2抗凝血标本,在STKS全自动血细胞分析仪上,与高、中、低定值全血质控品同时进行比对测定,每个样本平行分析4次求均值,同时检测患者6次血清标本内毒素含量,统计数据。结果测得仪器批内误差CV0.18%;其中14小时内5个样本WBC均数(x)分别为20.1×109/L、2.3×109/L、3.2×109/L、22.8×109/L、15.7×109/L;血、尿均分离到大肠埃希氏菌,内毒素试验阳性。结论内毒素导致WBC贴壁,造成病危期4小时内周围血液WBC急剧下降10倍;临床在分析实验结果时既要考虑内毒素导致WBC上升,又要考虑内毒素致使WBC贴壁造成急剧下降现象。     

Species- and sex-specific variations in binding of ochratoxin A by renal proteins in vitro

The mycotoxin ochratoxin A (OTA) is a potent renal carcinogen in rodents and induces renal fibrosis in pigs. Furthermore, OTA has been associated with the development of renal tumors and nephropathies in humans. Large species- and sex-differences are observed in sensitivity toward OTA-mediated toxicity and carcinogenicity, yet neither the mechanism(s) resulting in OTA toxicity nor the reasons for the observed species- and sex-specificities are known. This paper investigated variations in OTA handling viz binding to renal proteins which could possibly explain the observed differences in OTA susceptibility in vivo and in vitro. The results obtained via a modification of a standard receptor-binding assay demonstrated the presence of at least one homogeneous binding component in renal cortical homogenates from pig, mouse, rat and humans. This component was shown to bind OTA in a specific and saturable manner. A range of compounds selected for their affinity for steroid receptors and/or for various known organic anion transporters were employed in a competition assay to answer the question whether this homogenous OTA binding component represents a steroid-like receptor component or one of the known organic anion transporters of the kidney. Although many of the compounds were able to compete with OTA for protein-binding, the competition patterns displayed a distinct species specificity and did not correspond to the competition patterns associated with presently known organic anion transporters of the kidney in the mouse, rat or human. The data thus suggests the presence of a new organic anion transporter or more likely, a cytosolic binding component of unknown function with high affinity and capacity for OTA binding in humans, rats, mice and possibly pigs.

磷脂酶A2激活在鼠急性缺血性脑损伤中的作用机制

目的 探讨急性脑缺血后脑组织内磷脂酶A2（PLA2）激活及细胞内[Ca^2 ]i与脑损伤的关系，为预防和治疗急性缺血性脑损伤提供理论基础和新的思路。方法 将局灶性脑缺血模型大鼠分5组（假手术组、缺血30、60、90、120min组），测定脑组织PLA2活力、脑细胞[Ca^2 ]i、脑含水量及缺血120min组脑组织PLA2表达量的改变。结果 脑缺血120min脑组织PLA2活性、[Ca^2 ]i、脑含水量较假手术组明显升高，并与时间呈正相关，缺血120min后脑组织中出现sPLA2-ⅡAmRNA表达，且cPLA2-ⅣmRNA表达水平较假手术组明显增强。结论 磷脂酶A2激活参与了脑缺血后神经细胞内钙超载及脑损伤的整人病理过程。     

Characterization of HPC-1 antigen, an isoform of syntaxin-1, with the isoform-specific monoclonal antibody, 14D8

We raised polyclonal and monoclonal antibodies against rat recombinant HPC-1/syntaxin 1A lacking a transmembrane domain. The polyclonal antibody recognized two major bands at 35 and 40 kDa from rat brain membranes. A hybridoma clone designated 14D8, however, recognized only one band at 35 kDa. A polyclonal antibody detected recombinant syntaxin 1B, as well as HPC-1/syntaxin 1A on an immunoblot, whereas 14D8 recognized recombinant HPC-1/syntaxin 1A, but not syntaxin 1B. Therefore, 14D8 is specific for HPC-1/syntaxin 1A. Using this monoclonal antibody, we investigated the expression of HPC-1/syntaxin 1A in the rat hippocampal membranes. HPC-1/syntaxin 1A was present even in the embryonic d 19 (E19) hippocampal membranes, and it increased during the next two postnatal wk. Pyramidal cell axons were intensely stained with the 14D8 monoclonal antibody, suggesting that HPC-1/syntaxin 1A was not restricted to the presynaptic terminal. Furthermore, we investigated the phosphorylation of HPC-1/syntaxin 1A in the rat brain membranes. HPC-1/syntaxin 1A affinity-purified on a 14D8 IgG-coupled column was recognized by antiphophoserine antibody, but not by antiphosphotyrosine and phosphothreonine antibodies.
