ObjectiveTo systematically review the association between glutathione S-transferase pi (GSTP1) Ile105Val (A/G) and the risk of cutaneous melanoma. MethodWe searched PubMed, EMbase, CNKI and WanFang Data to identify case-control studies which investigated the association between GSPT1 Ile105Val (A/G) polymorphism and the risk of cutaneous melanoma from their inception to June 31th 2016. Two reviewers independently screened literature, extracted data and assessed the risk of bias of included studies. Then meta-analysis was performed by using RevMan 5.3 software. ResultsA total of 4 case-control studies involving 978 cutaneous melanoma cases and 796 controls were included. The results showed that: the GSPT1 Ile105Val (A/G) polymorphism was significantly associated with the risk of cutaneous melanoma in the dominant model (GG+GA vs. AA: OR=1.22, 95%CI 1.01 to 1.48, P=0.04), but no significant association was found in the recessive model, heterozygote model, and homozygote model (GG vs. CA+AA: OR=1.18, 95%CI 0.86 to 1.60, P=0.30; GA vs. AA: OR=1.20, 95%CI 0.98 to 1.47, P=0.08; GG vs. AA: OR=1.28, 95%CI 0.92 to 1.77, P=0.14). ConclusionCurrent evidence shows, The GSTP1 Ile105Val (A/G) polymorphism is associated with the risk of cutaneous melanoma. Due to limited quantity and quality of the included studies, more high-quality large-scale studies are needed to verify the above conclusion.
目的 探讨异氟醚通过抑制细胞间黏附分子（ICAM-1）表达参与减轻肝脏缺血-再灌注（IR）损伤的可能调节机制。 方法 32只雌性SD大鼠分为4组。A组大鼠行腹腔注射1%戊巴比妥钠40 mg/kg麻醉，进行手术但不阻断入肝血流；B组1%戊巴比妥钠麻醉后行部分肝脏IR；C组大鼠仅接受1.0 MAC异氟醚吸入麻醉，不阻断血流；D组采用1.0 MAC异氟醚麻醉，建立肝脏IR模型。肝脏缺血60 min，再灌注3 h后取肝组织和血液标本，检测血清丙氨酸转氨酶（ALT）和天冬门氨酸转氨酶（AST）、肝组织ICAM-1和肝组织还原型谷胱甘肽（GSH）、脂质过氧化物丙二醛（MDA）和超氧化物歧化酶（SOD）含量。 结果 与戊巴比妥钠麻醉比较，采用异氟醚处理后明显降低血清ALT和AST的水平，再灌注肝组织内GSH、SOD含量明显高于而MDA含量降低，同时抑制肝组织ICAM-1的表达。 结论 异氟醚麻醉能够有效减轻肝脏IR损伤，抑制氧自由基的生成和释放，具体机制可能与抑制ICAM-1表达致使细胞内GSH含量增加密切相关。
Objective To evaluate the effectiveness and safety of reduced glutathione in the treatment of acute renal failure. Methods Twenty-three patients with acute renal failure were divided into the treatment group (n=10) and the control group (n=13) by simple randomisation. Patients in the treatment group received intravenous reduced glutathione 1200 mg daily. Patients in the control group were not treated with reduced glutathione. The therapeutic course for both groups was 4 weeks. Serum creatinine and urea nitrogen were determined before treatment as well as at the end of each of the 4 weeks. Proximal and distal renal tubular functions were evaluated at the end of the treatment. The time when clinical symptoms were improved was recorded and adverse drug reactions were monitored. Results The durations of nausea and vomiting as well as the oliguria stage were shorter in the treatment group than in the control group. The serum creatinine level in the treatment group decreased more markedly than that in the control group. At the end of the treatment, the renal tubular function was better in the treatment group than in the control group. Conclusion Reduced glutathione contributes to the early recovery of renal function in patients with acute renal failure. However, more high-quality and large-scale randomized controlled trials are needed.
ObjectiveTo evaluate the effect of ZnPP Ⅸ on the expressions of heme oxygenase-1 (HO-1) and glutathione-Stransferase-π （GST-π） and the chemosensitivity of drug-resistant hepatic carcinoma cell line Bel/Fu, and explore it’s possibility to reverse drug-resistance and the relevant regulating mechanism. Methods①MTT assay was adopted to detect the drug sensitivity for adriamycin, mitomycin, and 5-fluorouracil of Bel/Fu cell after ZnPP Ⅸ being induced for 24 h. ②RTPCR was carried out to detect the expressions of HO-1 and GST-π mRNA after Bel/FU cells being treated with different concentrations ZnPP Ⅸ for 24 h. ResultsAfter Bel/Fu cells being treated with ZnPP Ⅸ for 24 h, the 50% inhibiting concentration (IC50) for drugs was decreased dramatically （Plt;0.05）. Meanwhile, the expressions of HO-1 and GST-π mRNA in the treated cells also decreased dose-dependently (Plt;0.01). ConclusionsZnPP Ⅸ can increase the chemosensitivity of Bel/FU cells by down-regulation of HO-1 and GST-π expression. ZnPP Ⅸ is a potential agent to reverse multidrug resistance of hepatic carcinoma cells.
【摘要翻译】 一 氧化氮合酶( NOS) -2( NOS-2) 的诱导和一氧化氮产物增加是过敏性气道疾病的共同特征。严重哮喘与气道S-亚硝基硫醇减少相关。S-亚硝基硫醇是NO的生化产物, 可通过促炎症转录因子NF-κB 的S-亚硝基化抑制炎症反应。因此, 重建气道S-亚硝基硫醇对治疗可能有益。我们对此假设在以卵清蛋白诱导的过敏性炎症大鼠模型中进行验证。未使用或使用卵清蛋白致敏的动物均在卵清蛋白激发前于气管内灌注S-亚硝基谷胱甘肽( GSNO;50 μl, 10 mM) , 并在48 h 以后进行分析。GSNO 给药增加了肺组织S-亚硝基硫醇水平。与对照组比, GSNO 降低了卵清蛋白致敏动物NF-κB 的活性, 但对支气管肺泡灌洗细胞总数、分类计数及杯状细胞化生标记物均无显著影响。GSNO给药也改变了HIF-1 的活性, 导致未致敏大鼠HIF-1 活化,但抑制卵清蛋白致敏大鼠的HIF-1 活性。我们使用NOS-2基因敲除小鼠来评价内源性一氧化氮合成酶-2 在调节NF-κB和( 或) HIF-1 活性及气道过敏性炎症的作用。尽管在NOS-2 基因敲除小鼠中卵清蛋白诱导的NF-κB 活力轻度增高, 这与支气管肺泡灌洗中性粒细胞轻度增加有关, 其他的过敏性炎症指标和HIF-1 活性在NOS-2 基因敲除及野生型小鼠之间却无明显相差。总体来说, 我们的研究表明GSNO灌注能抑制气道过敏性炎症中NF-κB 活性, 但是并不能显著地影响大部分炎症及杯状细胞化生指标, 这样可能因为对其他信号通道( 比如HIF-1) 的影响而限制了它的治疗价值。【述评】 GSNO 是近年哮喘治疗研究的热点。既往的研究发现GSNO 在哮喘治疗中有一定前景。本研究却发现GSNO 气管内滴注虽能抑制过敏性气道炎症中NF-κB 活性,但并不能显著抑制气道炎症反应及杯状细胞化生这两个哮喘关键病理改变, 可能与GSNO 同时影响了HIF-1 等其他信号通路有关。该研究表明GSNO 对哮喘气道炎症治疗效果有限, 同时表明哮喘气道炎症调控机制较为复杂, 治疗药物的设计需考虑多种信号通路对哮喘气道炎症的影响。
ObjectiveTo study the effect of rotenone on rat substantia nigra dopamine (DA) in the nervous system and oxidative stress parameters (malondialdehyde and glutathione), the influence of rotenone on DA neurons toxic effect and its pathogenesis. MethodsThis study applied back subcutaneous injection of rotenone in rats [1.0 mg/(kg·d)], and used immunocytochemistry technique to detect changes in the expression of tyrosine kinase (TH) in 10 rats of the control group and 10 rats of the experimental group. Spectrophotometry was used to detect the change of oxidative stress parameters in rats (malondialdehyde and glutathione). ResultsDA neurons in rats had various degrees of damage. The TH immune response strength of rats in the substantia nigra and striatum decreased significantly. The number of immune response nigra TH positive neurons was significantly less in the experimental group than in the control group (P< 0.01). Spectrophotometer method was used to detect the midbrain nigra of glutathione, which was significantly less in the experimental group than in the control group (P<0.01). Malondialdehyde in the experimental group was significantly higher (P<0.01). ConclusionRotenone has obvious neurotoxicity, and can lead to the damage of DA neurons and obvious oxidative stress injury in rats, which provides an experimental basis for the pathogenesis of Parkinson's disease, and at the same time provides new targets for the treatment.
Objective To study the protective effect of glutamine on the intestinal mucosal antioxidation in endotoxemic rats. Methods Twenty-eight male Wistar rats were randomly divided into three groups, group A:parenteral nutrition supplemented with glutamine, group B:TPN without glutamine,and group C:normal control. Endotoxemia was induced by continous intravenous infusion of lipopolysaccharide(LPS) at a dose of 2 mg/kg per day throughout the 5-day study period. The mucosal protein、DNA、ATP、SOD、MDA、GSH、sIgA were determined. Results The mucosal protein、DNA、ATP、SOD、GSH and sIgA content in endotoxic rats were markedly decreased, MDA was increased as compared with normal control(P＜0.05). The former indices in group A were improved and MDA content was decreased as compared with group B(P＜0.05). Conclusion Glutamine can improve gut energy metabolism, decrease the extent of mucosal injury of free radicals, and give an protective effect on the mucosal probably by increasing GSH.
Objective To investigate the expression of presenilin-2(PS2) and glutathione S transferase π(GSTπ) and their role in the prognosis and therapy of infiltrating ductal breast carcinoma. Methods The expression of PS2 and GSTπ in tumor tissues from 210 patients with infiltrating ductal breast carcinoma confirmed by pathologic examination and treated with modified radical mastectomy was examined by using LSAB immunohistochemical method. Results The expression rate of PS2 was 49.5%(104/210) and the expression rate of GSTπ was 48.1%(101/210). The grade of the postoperative 5-year survival rate and 10-year survival rate in four groups of 210 patients, from high to low, was the group 1 (PS2 positive expression/GSTπ negative expression), the group 2 (PS2 positive expression/GSTπ positive expression), the group 3 (PS2 negative expression/GSTπ negative expression) and the group 4 (PS2 negative expression/GSTπ positive expression). Conclusion The prognosis of the group 1 is the best, the group 2 better, the group 3 good and the group 4 the worst. The results suggest that reasonable use of endocrinotherapy and chemotherapy in infiltrating ductal breast carcinoma is necessary.
Objective To investigate the effects of glutathione (GSH) on survival of the random skin flap in rats and the probable mechanism that contribute to this effect. Methods Twenty SD rats with 200-250 g in weight, were randomly divided into the experimental group and control group(n=10). Random flap of 8 cm×2 cm in size was made on the back of each rat with the pedicel on the angular of the scapular. GSH(250 mg/kg) and NS of the same dose were injected into the abdominal cavity of rats in the experimental groupand the control group immediately after the operative, 1st and 2nd days respectively. The rats were killed on the 7th day after the operation. The tissue pathology, the survival rate of the flap, the superoxide dismutase(SOD) activity and malonyldialdehyde (MDA) level were compared between two groups. Results The mean survival rate of the flap on the 7th day in the experimental group（56.77%±10.67%） was higher than that in the control group(40.16%±7.12%)(Plt;0.05).SOD activity in experimental group （306.06±84.87 U/mgprot）was higher than that in the control group （224.79±27.12 U/mgprot）, while MDA level （3.835±0.457 nmol/mgprot）was lower than that in the control group (6.127±0.837 nmol/mgprot)(Plt;0.05). Histological observation showed that the neutrophil infiltration was less in experimental group than that in the control group; that the experimental group was surperior to the control group in angiogenesis, fibroblasts, fair cells and cuaneous gland. Conclusion The intraperitoneal use of GSH may promote the survival rate of the random flaps and the possible mechanism for improvement may lies in that the GSH can reduce the level of oxygen free radical and lipidperoxidation,and lessen neutrophil infiltration.
