THE EFFECT OF FCγ RECEPTOR ON THE PATHOGENESIS OF GRAVES'' DISEASE

Objective To explore the roles of Fcγ receptor in the pathogenesis of Graves' disease. Methods Fcγ receptor gene knockout mice(Fcγ R KO mice) which were rooted in C57BL/6 mice and wild type C57BL/6 mice were immunized by hTSH receptor expressing cells (DAP3.WT).1-2×107 DAP3.WT cells were peritoneally injected into mice every two weeks for a total of six times.Two weeks after final immunization, mice were killed for measurement of total thyroxine,TRAb and pathological examination.Results The thyroxine level of the immunized Fcγ receptor gene knockout mice was significantly lower than that of the immunized wild type control mice (2.2±0.31 vs.3.32±0.59g·dL-1,P<0.05), but there was no significant difference between immunized Fcγ R KO mice and non-immunized wild type control group.The TRAb levels of the immunized Fγ R KO mice significantly increased compared to those of the immunized wild type mice (21.75±8.21 vs.14.11±6.21, P<0.05). The lymphocyte cells infiltration and destruction of thyroid follicles were found in the thyroid gland of the immunized Fcγ R KO mice. Conclusion　These results suggest that Fcγ receptor may be involved in the pathogenesis of Graves'disease.     

哇巴因对血管紧张素Ⅱ及其1型和2型受体mRNA在心肌中表达的影响

目的观察哇巴因(Ouabain)对血管紧张素Ⅱ(AngⅡ)及其1型(AT1)与2型(AT2)受体mRNA在心肌中表达的影响。方法60只SD大鼠随机分为3组,分别为Ouabain组[27.8 ng/(kg.d)Ouabain腹腔注射]、Losartan组[27.8 ng/(kg.d)Ouabain腹腔注射,同时给予Losartan 30 ng/(kg.d)灌胃]、对照组(生理盐水2 mL/d腹腔注射),每周测定鼠尾血压,共6周。应用放免法测定各组大鼠血浆及心肌中AngⅡ质量浓度,同时采用实时定量荧光PCR(FQ-PCR)观察心肌中AT1和AT2mRNA表达的变化。结果血浆中的AngⅡ质量浓度在Ouabain组及Losartan组均显著高于对照组(P<0.05),而Ouabain组心肌中AngⅡ质量浓度无明显变化。与对照组相比,Ouabain组及Losartan组心肌中AT1mRNA与AT2mRNA的表达明显上调(P<0.05)。结论外周长期、慢性给予Ouabain后可持续升高SD大鼠的血压,并使RAS系统激活,这一作用可能是通过AT1受体介导。给予Ouabain激活AT1受体的同时,AT2活性也增加。     

自身免疫性甲状腺病TSH受体基因第一外显子突变的研究

目的　探讨自身免疫性甲状腺病发病与TSH受体基因第一外显子突变之间的关系。方法　用PCR SSCP方法对 1 46例Graves病 ,30例桥本甲状腺炎患者外周血白细胞DNATSH受体基因第一外显子突变进行筛查。结果　经PCR扩增后均出现明晰可辨的带型 ,SSCP分析1 76例无 1例出现异常泳动。结论　PCR SSCP分析未发现自身免疫性甲状腺病患者TSH受体基因第一外显子有突变 ,提示自身免疫性甲状腺病发病可能与TSH受体基因第一外显子突变无关     

三硝基苯磺酸/乙醇灌肠液诱导大鼠溃疡性结肠炎TLR4/NF-κB和PI3K/AKT/NF-κB信号通路的表达及电针的干预作用

目的探讨三硝基苯磺酸(TNBS)/乙醇灌肠液诱导大鼠溃疡性结肠炎TLR4/NF-κB和PI3K/AKT/NF-κB信号通路的表达及电针的干预作用。方法雄性Wistar大鼠240只,随机分为正常对照组、模型组、电针组、TLR4单克隆抗体(TLR4mAb)组、LY294002组和TLR4mAb-LY294002联合治疗(T&L)组。以TNBS/乙醇溶液灌肠诱导大鼠溃疡性结肠炎模型,电针组造模同时给予电针足三里穴治疗,TLR4mAb组给予TLR4mAb腹腔注射,LY294002组则予LY294002注射液腹腔注射,T&L组则同时给与上述TLR4mAb和LY294002腹腔注射,共4周,每日行疾病活动指数(DAI)评分。造模4周后处死大鼠取结肠组织标本,评价结肠黏膜损伤指数(CMDI)和组织学损伤指数(TDI);免疫印迹法测定结肠黏膜磷酸化AKT(P-AKT)和活化NF-κB含量;RT-PCR法检测结肠组织中TLR4mRNA、PI3K mRNA、AKT mRNA、NF-κB mRNA、TNF-αmRNA及IL-1βmRNA表达。结果与正常对照组比较,模型组结肠组织TLR4mRNA、PI3K mRNA、P-AKT、活化NF-κB、TNF-αmRNA、IL-1βmRNA表达和DAI、CMDI及TDI均显著升高(P<0.01);与模型组比较,TLR4mAb组TLR4mRNA表达显著下降(P<0.01),LY294002组PI3K mRNA、P-AKT表达显著下降(P<0.01),而在电针组和T&L组TLR4mRNA、PI3K mRNA及P-AKT表达均明显降低(P<0.01);与上述变化相对应,与模型组相比,各治疗组活化NF-κB、TNF-αmRNA、IL-1βmRNA表达和DAI、CMDI及TDI均明显降低(P<0.05或P<0.01),电针组和T&L组上述6指标优于TLR4mAb组和LY294002组,活化NF-κB与TNF-αmRNA及IL-1βmRNA表达呈正相关(r1=0.579,P<0.05;r2=0.561,P<0.05)。结论电针足三里穴能显著降低实验性溃疡性结肠炎大鼠的NF-κB活性及TNF-αmRNA、IL-1βmRNA表达,从而减轻结肠组织损害程度,这与其阻断TLR4/NF-κB和PI3K/AKT/NF-κB信号通路有密切关系。
