IL-1β诱导体外培养的大鼠中脑黑质神经元c-jun表达

应用细胞原位杂交技术，观察经重组小鼠白细胞介素-19（IL-1β）处理后的体外培养的新生1d大鼠中脑黑质神经元c－jun基因的表达．结果显示，培养的黑质细胞多为酪氨酸羟化酶阳性神经元，IL-1β可诱导体外培养的黑质神经元c－junmRNA表达，高水平的表达出现在IL-1β处理后2～4h。说明IL－1β有兴奋黑质神经元的作用，并提示黑质神经元上可能存在IL－1β受体．     

B cell development is perturbed in bone marrow from c-fos/v-jun doubly transgenic mice

c-fos and c-jun gene products form a heterodimeric complex (AP-1)that regulates target gene expression by binding to a specificDNA sequence motif. In order to study a role of AP-1 (Fos/Jun)in growth and differentiation of immature B lineage cells, wehave established and mated two independent transgenic mice carryingthe mouse c-fos gene or the viral v-Jun gene fused to the H-2Kpromoter. IL-7 dependent bone marrow cell culture from doublytransgenic (H2-fos/jun) mice demonstrated severe delay of earlyB cell development. Proliferation of pre-B cells in the freshbone marrow from HZ-fos/jun mice to IL-7 stimulation was verylow. These results suggest that the deregulated production ofAP-1 perturbs IL-7 mediated proliferation and differentiationof immature B cells.

An association between ethanol-evoked enhancement of c-jun gene expression in the nucleus tractus solitarius and the attenuation of baroreflexes

BACKGROUND: An increased expression of Fos, the protein product of the immediate early gene c-fos, in the nucleus tractus solitarius (NTS) is associated with dysfunction in baroreceptor reflex control of heart rate. Our previous studies demonstrated that ethanol attenuates baroreflex sensitivity (BRS) in rats and humans. In this study, we tested the hypothesis that enhanced expression of the immediate early gene c-jun (an index of neuronal activity) in the NTS contributes to the baroreflex dysfunction caused by ethanol. METHODS: Conscious male spontaneously hypertensive (SHR) and Wistar-Kyoto (WKY) rats were used to measure blood pressure, heart rate, and baroreflex sensitivity (Oxford method). The c-jun messenger RNA (mRNA) expression in NTS was measured by in situ hybridization. RESULTS: Ethanol elicited dose-dependent attenuation in BRS in WKY rats, which was associated with significant increases in c-jun mRNA in the NTS. In contrast, ethanol had no effect on BRS or c-jun mRNA in the NTS of the SHRs; the latter exhibited significantly lower BRS and higher c-jun mRNA in the NTS compared with WKY rats. CONCLUSIONS: An increased basal level of c-jun mRNA in the NTS may contribute to the reduced BRS in the SHR, and ethanol enhancement of neuronal activity of the NTS, expressed as increased c-jun mRNA expression, may contribute to its attenuation of BRS, which highlights the NTS as a neuroanatomical target for ethanol action on baroreflexes.     

MK2 plays an important role for the increased vascular permeability that follows thermal injury

We previously reported Rho kinase is involved in vessel hyper-permeability caused by burns. Here we further explore the Rho kinase downstream signaling, it is found that its specific inhibitor Y27632 significantly diminishes the activation of JNK and p38 MAPKs but not ERK that induced by serum from burned rats (burn-serum). JNK activation was found involved in the expression of HUVEC adhesion molecules following thermal injury, although not in the process of stress fiber formation. Inhibition of various MAPKs by specific inhibitors showed that SB203580 (inhibitor of p38), but neither SP600125 (inhibitor of JNK) nor PD98059 (inhibitor of ERK), abolish activation of the p38 downstream kinase MK2. Demonstration of stress fibers by fluorescent-labeled phalloidin showed that inhibition of MK2, either by its specific inhibitor or by dominant negative adeno-viral-carried constructs, significantly reduced burn-serum-induced HUVEC stress-fiber formation, while inhibition of another downstream p38 MAPK kinase, PRAK, had no such effects. Transfection of dominant negative adeno-viral MK2 (Ad-MK2(A)) significantly inhibited thermal injury-induced blood vessel hyper-permeability in rats and, moreover, prolonged the survival of burned rats beyond 72 h following thermal injury. One of the mechanisms behind these phenomena is that Ad-MK2(A) causes a significant depression of burn-serum-induced HSP27-phosphorylation, while the adeno-viral transported dominant negative PRAK (Ad-PRAK(A)) does not block. Although the effect of blockade of MK2 through its adeno-viral approach requires further study and investigation of alternatives to know for sure, we may have found a new pathway behind thermal-injury-induced blood vessel hyper-permeability, namely: Rho kinase > p38 > MK2 > HSP27.
