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。     

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.     

Ultrastructural distribution of NADPH-diaphorase in the normal hippocampus and after long-term potentiation

Summary The distribution of the enzyme nitric oxide synthase (NOS) was investigated at the ultrastructural level in synaptic structures of the hippocampal formation in relation to long-term potentiation (LTP), based on the histochemical NADPH-diaphorase (NADPH-d) staining with the tetrazolium salt BSPT. BSPT-formazan, the osmiophilic reaction product, was found to be selectively distributed and predominantly attached to membranes of the endoplasmic reticulum. In synaptic regions mainly the presynaptic sides showed labeling. Although several groups have demonstrated a principal involvement of NO in the LTP-mechanism, we found only a low, statistically insignificant increase in NADPH-d stained presynaptic areas of the dentate gyrus, where LTP was evoked. Postsynaptic elements also did not show any noticeable differences. Based on the present results, the predominantly presynaptic localization of NOS should be preferably considered in models describing a functional role of NO in LTP formation, despite the fact that we failed to reveal any indications for an LTP-related change in synaptically located NADPH-d.

异丙酚对慢性神经痛大鼠脊髓诱导型一氧化氮合酶表达的影响

目的 研究不同剂量异丙酚对慢性神经痛大鼠触诱发痛痛阈及其脊髓组织诱导型一氧化氮合酶(iNOS)mRNA的影响。方法 Wistar大鼠40只,随机分为四组,Ⅰ组为空白对照;Ⅱ、Ⅲ、Ⅳ组结扎左侧坐骨神经。术后第7天,Ⅰ、Ⅱ组腹腔注射生理盐水50 ml·kg-1,Ⅲ、Ⅳ组腹腔注射异丙酚50 ml·kg-1或75ml·kg-1,每天一次共6 d。在术后第6、10和12天,使用Von Frey法分别测定各组大鼠触诱发痛痛阈,比较不同剂量的异丙酚对大鼠痛阈的影响。术后第12天取L4-5和L5-6节段脊神经节和脊髓组织,采用半定量RT-PCR法,对各组大鼠脊髓组织iNOS mRNA表达进行检测。结果 术后第10和12天,Ⅲ、Ⅳ组大鼠双侧的痛阈值高于Ⅱ组(P<0.05);术后第12天,Ⅲ、Ⅳ组大鼠脊髓组织iNOS mRNA表达低于Ⅱ组(P<0.05)。结论 异丙酚通过抑制脊髓组织iNOS mRNA转录,降低其表达,而起到一定的抗伤害作用。     

实验性糖尿病早期大鼠背根神经节一氧化氮合酶基因表达的变化

目的：观察糖尿病早期(2周)大鼠背根神经节(DRG)中一氧化氮合酶(nNOS、iNOS、eNOS)的表达变化以及胰岛素对其的影响。方法：按60mg／kg一次性腹腔注射链脲佐菌素(STZ)制备胰岛素依赖性糖尿病大鼠模型(16只)，造模成功后随机分成2组(模型组和治疗组)，治疗组于造模成功后第2天开始给予胰岛素治疗，正常对照组(8只)与模型组予皮下注射同样体积的生理盐水。2周后取各组大鼠背根神经节，Trizol法提取总RNA，应用RT—PCR法测定3种NOS mRNA的表达。结果：在糖尿病早期大鼠DRG中，iNOS表达明显上调，胰岛素能有效逆转此变化。而nNOS和eNOS的表达无明显变化。结论：在早期糖尿病DRG中iNOS基因表达异常，可能与糖尿病外周神经病变的发生发展有关。
