The liver possesses an extraordinary ability to regenerate after injury. Hepatocyte-driven liver regeneration is the default pathway in response to mild-to-moderate acute liver damage. When replication of mature hepatocytes is blocked, facultative hepatic progenitor cells (HPCs), also referred to as oval cells (OCs) in rodents, are activated. HPC/OCs have the ability to proliferate clonogenically and differentiate into several lineages including hepatocytes and bile ductal epithelia. This is a conserved liver injury response that has been studied in many species ranging from mammals (rat, mouse, and human) to fish. In addition, improper HPC/OC activation is closely associated with fibrotic responses, characterized by myofibroblast activation and extracellular matrix production, in many chronic liver diseases. Matrix remodeling and metalloprotease activities play an important role in the regulation of HPC/OC proliferation and fibrosis progression. Thus, understanding molecular mechanisms underlying HPC/OC activation has therapeutic implications for rational design of anti-fibrotic therapies.
目的:观察葛根素对早期2型糖尿病(T2DM)大鼠胃血管病变的影响及与胃动力的关系.方法:制备T2DM大鼠模型按随机数字表法分为正常对照组(NC组)、葛根素干预正常组(NP组)、糖尿病对照组(DC组)、葛根素干预糖尿病组(DP组).5周后测定各组胃丰排时间(TIME l/2)、胃排空速率(RATE)、血可溶性内皮细胞蛋白C受体(sEPCR)、胃一氧化氮(NO)、丙二醛(MDA)、超氧化物歧化酶(SOD).检测胃内皮型一氧化氮合酶(eNOS)及CD34的表达,观察电镜下胃微血管超微结构改变.结果:与NC组比较,DC组血sEPCR、胃MDA升高,胃SOD、NO、eNOS及CD34表达下降,TIME 1/2缩短、RATE加快,胃微血管超微结构受损.而与DC组比较,DP组的这些指标呈相反变化,相关分析显示与TIME 1/2最相关的是eNOS.结论:葛根素可以改善早期2型糖尿病大鼠的胃动力异常、胃微血管损伤以及胃组织氧化应激,胃血管内皮损伤可能是胃动力障碍的始动因素.
心脏的形成是非常复杂的过程,涉及多个基因及信号通路的时空表达.Nodal信号在心脏发育中发挥极其重要的作用,研究证实,信号通路中主要成员的变异参与多种先天性心脏病的发生.另外还发现,Nodal纤毛在心脏左右不对称形态的发生中发挥关键作用,部分是通过调控Nodal信号来诱导,Nodal纤毛的异常可引起一系列纤毛相关性先天性心脏病.本文阐述了Nodal信号通路、Nodal纤毛与先天性心脏病发病之间的关系.
There is evidence suggesting that genetic variants of Nodal signaling may be associated with risk of congenital heart diseases (CHDs), in which several polymorphisms, such as Nodal rs1904589, have been considered to be implicated in the accumulation of the genetic burden of CHD risk with interacting genes. We hypothesized that genetic variants of GDF1, a protein that heterodimerizes with Nodal, may be related to increased CHD susceptibility. In this study, four tagSNPs of GDF1 were genotyped in 310 non-syndromic CHD patients and 320 healthy controls by using PCR-based DHPLC and RFLP. The results showed no statistically significant differences in genotype and allele frequencies between CHDs and controls with any of the analyzed variants of GDF1. However, a weak statistical association existed between GDF1 rs4808870 and conotruncal defects (CTDs) (uncorrected P = 0.027). Further stratified analysis for subtype revealed the SNP AA genotype and A allele have statistical significance in pulmonary atresia (PA) (corrected P = 1.01 × 10−3 and 0.015, respectively), especially in pulmonary atresia with intact ventricular septum (PA + IVS) (corrected P = 1.67 × 10−3 and 0.034, respectively). Furthermore, two haplotypes, TGGT and CAGT, were found to be significantly associated with increased CHD susceptibility (corrected P = 3.20 × 10−3 and 2.73 × 10−7, respectively). In summary, our results provide evidence that genetic variations of the Nodal-like factor, GDF1 may be associated with CHD risk, and these variations contribute at least in part to the development of some subtypes of CTD in the Chinese Han population.
Objective To observe the changes of nitric oxide,endothelial nitric oxide synthase(eNOS) in gastric antrum tissue and soluble endothelial cell protein C receptor(sEPCR) in the serum in the diabetic rats,and to investigate the relationship of the gastric motility change and gastric vasculopathy in the early stages of type 2 diabetes mellitus.Methods A total of 25 male SPF SD rats were first divided random in two groups: control group(NC,n=10) and diabetic mellitus group(DM,n=15).The rats in the DM group were fed with fat-and caloric-rich diet and induced by intraperitoneal injection of streptozotocin(STZ).After the induction,13 rats were finally identified as DM rats.At 12 weeks,gastric emptying(GET1/2) and gastric emptying rate were measured in NC groups and DM groups by single photo emission computed tomography(SPECT).Enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay was employed to examine the serum level of sEPCR.NO in gastric antrum tissue was detected by nitrate reductase,and eNOS observation in the gastric tissue was measured by immunohistochemical assay.Results The gastric emptying,gastric NO content,and mean density of eNOS were significantly lower in DM group(30.82±12.56 min,30.82±12.56 μmol/L and 0.36±0.15,respectively) than in NC group(P<0.05).While the serum level of sEPCR was significantly higher in DM group(129.45±4.83 μg/L) than in NC group(P<0.01).Conclusion Our results indicate that gastric emptying is accelerated in the early stages of DM.In this stage,vascular endothelium is impaired,and thus results in gastric motility disorders.
肾小球肾炎(Glomerulonephritis)是严重损害肾脏功能的一种常见病和多发病.其治疗的难点不仅在于缺乏足够有效的药物控制病情,而且在于病理变化的复杂性和特殊性.常规的病理方法很难为其做出全面的诊断,必须综合判断,甚至建立一支技术过硬的专门队伍[1],其中超微病理变化对全面正确认识病变具有十分重要的作用.作者对本教研室自2001年以来肾穿刺标本的超微病变进行总结分析.
