猫基底前脑胆碱能皮质投射神经元区的P物质样免疫反应神经元

在猫基底前脑内侧隔核-斜角带核-基底核,P物质能神经元主要分布在内侧隔核-斜角带核,多数P物质能和胆碱能神经元各自归属不同的神经元亚群。

黑叶猴(Presbytis francoisi)和菲氏叶猴(P.phayrei)的动脉

首次报道了对黑叶猴和菲氏叶猴的动脉的系统解剖观察, 记述了这二种叶猴 动脉分支的主要特征。并与其他灵长类比较结果表明, 叶猴的动脉除具有猴超 科共同特征外, 有些特征与类人猿相似, 比其他猴类更为进化, 部分特征似为 叶猴所特有。图5参18

黑叶猴(Presbytis francoisi)和菲氏叶猴(P.phayrei)四肢肌的主要特征

黑叶猴和菲氏叶猴的上肢肌和下腩肌系统解剖结果表明, 大部分与猴超科的 共同特征相一致, 也有一些差异。通过与其他灵长类的比较对存在差异的20条 上肢肌和17条下肢肌作了描述和讨论。参14

Expression, purification and characterization of recombinant Jerdonitin, a P-II class snake venom metalloproteinase comprising metalloproteinase and disintegrin domains

Jerdonitin is a P-II class snake venom metalloproteinase comprising metalloproteinase and disintegrin domains. In this study, we established a high-level expression system in Pichia pastoris and developed a purification strategy for the recombinant Jerdonitin. This recombinant Jerdonitin degraded fibrinogen at a level of activity comparable with its wild type. The effects of recombinant Jerdonitin on inhibiting ADP-induced human platelet aggregation were in a dose-dependent manner with an IC50 of 248 nM. In addition, we reported here that Jerdonitin can significantly inhibit the growth of several cell lines, including human liver cancer cells (Bel7402), human leukemia cells (K562) and human gastric carcinoma cells (BGC823). This study offers recombinant Jerdonitin that will be valuable for further functional and structural studies of Jerdonitin. (C) 2009 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.

P-糖蛋白的研究进展

P-糖蛋白是一类能量依赖性的转运蛋白,能将许多结构不同的化合物逆向转运出细胞。P-糖蛋白的过表达与肿瘤细胞的多药耐药性(Multidrug Resistance,MDR)密切相关,是导致肿瘤化疗失败的主要原因。随着对MDR机制认识的深入,已针对P-糖蛋白的结构设计出多种形式的MDR逆转药物。近年研究发现,P-糖蛋白广泛存在于正常的组织和器官,参与药物和内、外源毒素的吸收、分布和排泄,行使解毒和防御保护的功能。因此,通过转植P-糖蛋白基因可有效地降低经济鱼类、虾等水产品和经济作物中有毒污染物的积累,对保护人
