谷氨酸对腺苷A2A受体调节一氧化氮合酶活力的影响

目的探讨谷氨酸是否能够影响腺苷A2A受体对一氧化氮合酶（NOS）活力的调节。方法用1000ng／ml脂多糖（LPS）刺激小胶质细胞，分别加入100nmol／L A2A受体激动剂CGS21680以及不同浓度的谷氨酸（0，1，0，25，0，5mmol／L）干预，观察NOS活力变化。结果LPS诱导NOS活力增高，激活A2A受体可以产生抑制作用；0，25及0．5mmoL／L谷氨酸和A2A受体激动剂同时存在时，NOS活力进一步增高。结论高浓度谷氨酸可逆转腺苷A2A受体激动剂抑制升高NOS活力的作用。

谷氨酸诱导体外培养的鸡胚脊髓神经细胞释放NO

用鸡胚脊髓神经细胞的原代培养,测定细胞中亚硝酸盐的含量,研究了谷氨酸(Glu)对原代培养神经细胞中NO的影响。结果表明,谷氨酸作用于原代培养的鸡胚脊髓神经细胞,在诱导神经细胞释放乳酸脱氢酶(LDH)的同时,还可诱导细胞释放一氧化氮(NO)。如先用NO合成酶抑制剂L-NOARG作用细胞,再加入Glu,则发现L-NOARG能降低Glu导致的培养液中LDH活性升高。提示NO可能参与介导Glu的神经毒性作用。     

Production of nitrite by primary rat astrocytes in response to pneumococci

Recent studies using a rat model of pneumococcal meningitis have shown that nitric oxide synthase (NOS) inhibitors greatly attenuated microvascular changes and brain edema formation. The site of NO production during bacterial meningitis is unknown. In this study we tested whether primary astrocyte cultures from neonatal rat cortex can be induced to release NO upon stimulation with pneumococci. NO production was assessed by measuring nitrite in the cell culture supernatant using the Griess reaction. Stimulation with heat-killed unencapsulated pneumococci (HKP) increased nitrite concentrations in astrocyte culture supernatants in a dose-dependent fashion. Administration of AT-nitro-L-arginine (L-NA), aminoguanidine, L-canavanine, cycloheximide, and dexamethasone prevented the increase in nitrite concentrations. Addition of L-arginine, but not of o-arginine, partially reversed the inhibitory effect of L-NA. Administration of SOD increased nitrite accumulation. Moreover, at 72 h after stimulation with heat-killed pneumococci (10⁷ cfu/ml) astrocytes showed an inducible NOS-like immunoreactivity. Accumulation of nitrite was also observed when rat cerebellar neurons and microglia were stimulated with HKP, whereas there was only a slight increase of nitrite in media of rat C6 glioma cells, but no increase of nitrite when the human glioblastoma cell line LN-229 was stimulated with HKP. There was a stronger increase in nitrite levels when astrocytes from Lewis rats were used compared to that from Wistar rats. In conclusion, our study indicates that astrocytes, neurons and microglia are inducible for NO production upon stimulation with pneumococci.     

NO对兔局灶脑缺血脑水肿和脑梗塞灶的影响

本文在兔MCAO局灶脑缺血模型基础上,利用外源性一氧化氮(NO)前体物质L-精氨酸和NOS抑制剂L-NNA研究NO对脑缺血后脑水肿和脑梗塞的影响。NZW兔42只随机分为7组,每组6只,计对照组、假手术组、MCAO组、MCAO+NS组、MCAO+L-Arg组、MCAO+D-Arg组及MCAO+L-Arg+L-NNA组。结果提示:与单纯MCAO组比较,L-Arg组的脑组织H_2O、Na~+、Ca~(2+)含量明显下降(P<0.01),脑梗塞灶亦明显缩小(P<0.01)。从而显示L-Arg系通过产生NO促使血管舒张而减轻脑水肿和缩小梗塞灶,为临床改进脑缺血的治疗提供依据。

Evidence for nitric oxide participation in down-regulation of CYP2B1/2 gene expression at the pretranslational level

Septic or inflammatory stimuli suppress drug metabolism by cytochrome P-450 in the liver, presumably at the pretranslational level. We have shown previously that nitric oxide is responsible at least in part for the inhibition by bacterial lipopolysaccharide of phenobarbital-induced CYP2B1/2 activity in vivo. This was attributed to the interaction of nitric oxide with heme in the active-center of cytochrome P450, leading to enzyme inactivation. Here, we report of nitric oxide with heme in the active-center of cytochrome P450, leading to enzyme inactivation. Here, we report that endogeneous nitric oxide also contributes to LPS-induced suppression of CYP2B1/2 in vivo by down-regulating the expression of CYP2B1/2 protein and mRNA.
