表皮生长因子对牛眼小梁细胞c—fos基因表达的诱导

目的研究表皮生长因子（ｅｐｉｄｅｒｍａｌｇｒｏｗｔｈｆａｃｔｏｒ，ＥＧＦ）对小梁细胞的作用。方法应用分子杂交技术研究ＥＧＦ对体外培养的牛眼小梁细胞ｃ－ｆｏｓ基因表达的诱导和３Ｈ胸腺核苷酸（３Ｈ－ｔｈｙｍｉｄｉｎｅｉｎｃｏｒｐａｒａｔｉｏｎ，３Ｈ－ＴｄＲ）掺入法观察细胞ＤＮＡ的合成。结果小梁细胞的３Ｈ－ＴｄＲ掺入率随着ＥＧＦ浓度不同而变化，浓度为２０～１５０ｎｇ／ｍｌ时，细胞掺入率随浓度增加升高（Ｐ＜０．０１）。与对照组相比，ＥＧＦ刺激停止生长的小梁细胞０．５小时后，ｃ－ｆｏｓ基因开始表达，１小时后达高峰，至２小时后消失。不同浓度ＥＧＦ刺激小梁细胞１小时后，ｃ－ｆｏｓ基因表达呈浓度依赖性。结论实验结果表明ＥＧＦ刺激小梁细胞增殖或进入生长状态，可能与ｃ－ｆｏｓ基因产物的信号传递作用有关。

Altered genetic response to beta-adrenergic receptor activation in late passage C6 glioma cells.

Previous studies have demonstrated variability in the phenotype of rat C6 glioma cells. In the present study, we compared morphology, growth rate, and beta-adrenergic regulation of gene expression in early (P39-47) and late (P55-90) passage C6 cells. Morphological changes were observed in five independently derived, late passage populations. In four of the five, the untreated cells were more polygonal than the fibroblast-like parental cells, and only a small fraction exhibited process outgrowth after dbcAMP treatment. Untreated cells from the fifth late passage population had longer cytoplasmic processes than parental cells and responded to dbcAMP with further process outgrowth. All late passage populations had shorter generation times than the parental cells. In early passage cells, treatment with the beta-adrenergic agonist, isoproterenol (IPR), resulted in an increase in c-fos mRNA and a decrease in c-jun mRNA (Gu-bits RM, Yu H: J Neurosci Res, 30:625-630, 1991). Both of these immediate early gene responses were irreversibly lost between P50 and P55. Additional differences in basal or IPR-induced mRNA levels were observed for beta-APP, GFAP, NGF, and PPE, but not for a number of other mRNAs. These results are discussed in relationship to previously described differences in the ability of early and late passage C6 cells to accumulate cAMP (Mallorga P, et al.: Biochim Biophys Acta 678:221-229, 1981).     

钩体基因疫苗对豚鼠延髓原癌基因表达的影响

我们的研究已表明，赖型０１７株钩体外膜疏水蛋白ＯｍｐＬ３９是稳定的免疫原，在此我们分别用ＯｍｐＬ３９与钩体死菌苗和生理盐水对照免疫豚鼠，研究ＯｍｐＬ３９的免疫保护作用和免疫机理，对ＯｍｐＬ３９的抗原特异性刺激引起中枢原癌基因（Ｃｆｏｓ基因）表达进行了观察。结果表明，ＯｍｐＬ３９在豚鼠体内能产生高效价的阳性抗体，免疫保护率为１００％。在ＯｍｐＬ３９对中枢Ｃｆｏｓ基因表达的影响中，我们观察到ＯｍｐＬ３９免疫的豚鼠较空白和死菌苗组Ｃｆｏｓ表达明显少于死菌苗组和空白对照组（ｐ＜００５）。提示ＯｍｐＬ３９能特异性地抑制Ｃｆｏｓ基因的表达，减轻强毒钩体对动物体内的病理损伤，有较死菌苗强的免疫保护作用。     

Editorial

Aim: Wall stress‐independent signalling pathways were studied for endothelin‐1 (ET‐1)‐induced c‐fos expression in rat intact mesenteric small arteries. Methods: Arteries were kept unmounted in Krebs buffer, equilibrated for 1 h and stimulated with vasoactive substances for 15–60 min. The c‐fos mRNA expression was determined by real‐time polymerase chain reaction. Results: Stimulation with fetal bovine serum (FBS), phorbol 12‐myristate 13‐acetate (PMA) and ET‐1 caused about a doubling of c‐fos mRNA. The ET‐1‐induced c‐fos expression was steady (15–60 min) and was inhibited by the inhibitor of the ET_A receptor, BQ‐123. Platelet‐derived growth factor‐B, angiotensin II and U46619 did not cause increased c‐fos mRNA levels. The broad specificity inhibitor staurosporine inhibited the response to ET‐1, but inhibitors of Rho‐A kinase and phosphatidylinositol 3‐kinase had no effect. However, inhibitors to tyrosine kinases, the MAP kinases [extracellular signal‐regulated kinase 1/2 (ERK1/2), c‐Jun amino‐terminal kinase, p38], and to conventional protein kinase C showed no inhibition. Consistent with these findings, ET‐1 did not cause activation of ERK1/2, a finding also seen in vessels held under pressure. In contrast, ET‐1‐induced c‐fos expression was inhibited by the calcium chelator BAPTA, suggesting a role for intracellular calcium. This possibility was supported by the finding that raising the extracellular K⁺ concentration caused increased expression of c‐fos in a concentration‐dependent manner. Conclusion: The results suggest that in the absence of wall stress, ET‐1 is able to induce increased expression of c‐fos independent of traditional growth pathways, such as MAP kinase. The mechanism appears to be calcium‐dependent.

Tumor suppressor genes,growth factor genes,and oncogenes in hepatitis B virus-associated hepatocellular carcinoma

A series of changes in the genes that control hepatocyte growth, or interference with the protein products of these genes, appears to have an important role in the etiology of hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC). Mutations of the p53 tumor suppressor gene have been identified in 30-50% of HCC patients in some geographic areas. Abnormalities of the RB tumor suppressor gene have been found in 20-25% of HCCs, including 80-86% of HCCs with p53 mutations. Overexpression of transforming growth factor α (TGF-a), insulin-like growth factor II (IGF-II), and the oncogenes N-ras, c-myc, and c-fos have been found in high percentages of HCC patients. The cumulative effect of these changes may be more important than the order in which they occur. Some of these changes may explain the mechanism(s) by which the hepatitis B virus participates in the development of HCC. © 1994 Wiley-Liss, Inc.
