寒冷应激对大鼠肾上腺髓质亨廷顿蛋白相关蛋白1表达的影响

目的 探讨亨廷顿蛋白相关蛋白1(HAP1)在大鼠肾上腺髓质的超微结构定位,以及寒冷应激对大鼠肾上腺髓质HAP1表达的影响. 方法 成年雄性Wistar大鼠14只,2只用于免疫电镜研究,12只用于寒冷实验研究.寒冷实验中,将动物随机分为对照组和寒冷组,每组6只,寒冷组动物放置4℃环境下,12h后用免疫组织化学和Western blotting方法 检测大鼠肾上腺髓质HAP1表达的变化. 结果 免疫电镜结果 显示,HAP1免疫反应产物分布在肾上腺髓质细胞分泌颗粒外膜及分泌颗粒间的膜性细胞器上.寒冷组大鼠肾上腺髓质HAP1的表达明显减少,和对照组比较有显著性差异( P <0.01). 结论 HAP1可能与肾上腺髓质细胞内分泌颗粒及位于分泌颗粒内的肾上腺素/去甲肾上腺素的运输和释放有关.

Effect of cold stress on the expression of Huntingtin-associated protein 1 in the rat adrenal medulla

Objective To observe the ultrastructure location of Huntingtin-associated protein 1(HAP1) in rat adrenal medulla and the effect of cold stress on the expression of HAP1 in rat adrenal medulla. Methods Fourteen healthy male Wistar rats were used in the present study and among them two rats were used for immune electron microscopy and twelve rats for cold stress experiment. In the cold stress experiment, animals were divided into control and cold groups randomly with six rats in each group. During the experiment, rats were housed in a room at the temperature of 4℃ for 12 hours and then immunohistochemistry and Western blotting were used to measure the expression of HAP1 in adrenal medulla. Results By using the immune electron microscopy, the results showed HAP1 was located on the external membrane of secretory vesicles of adrenal medulla and their membranous organelles. The expression of HAP1 in adrenal medulla of cold group significantly decreased as compared with that of control group ( P <0.01). Conclusion HAP1 might be related with the adrenal medulla cells endocrine granula and involved in the transmission and release of adrenaline or noradrenaline in secretory granule.
