Journal of International Oncology 2011;38(3):216-220
The abnormal expression of gastrins and their receptors have close relationship with the occurrenceand the development of some colorectal neoplasms.The high expression of gastrins and their receptors promote colorectal neoplasms cell proliferation and inhibit apoptosis.The biological behavior is mainly rely on the abnormal expression of protein.Using differential proteomics can screen differential expression protein of high expression of gastrin-based colorectal neoplasms in the occurrence and development process,and then with the regulation of specific proteins to achieve the prevention and treatment of colorectal neoplasms purposes.

Objective To investigate the effects of morphine dependence and withdrawal on neurosteroids and amino acid transmitters of rat amygdala. Methods Morphine dependence was induced by pretreatment with increasing doses of morphine for 7 days. Withdrawal was precipitated by naloxone (2mg/kg). Withdrawal syndromes were observed and scored. After decapitation, amygdala was dissected out. Nomadic and conjugated neurosteroids were extracted using liquid-liquid extraction and solid phase extraction. Concentrations of neurosteroids including dehydroepiandrosterone (DHEA), pregnenolone (PREG), allopregnanolone (AP), dehydroepiandrosterone sulfate (DHEAS) and pregnenolone sulfate (PREGS) were detected with HPLC-MS. Concentrations of glycine (GLY), glutamate (GLU) and gamma-aminobutyric acid (GABA) were quantitated by HPLC-ECD with pre-column OPA derivatization. Results Compared with saline control, the DHEA level in rat amygdala of morphine dependent group decreased by 33% (P<0.01). Compared with naloxone control, the PREG and AP levels in rat amygdala of morphine withdrawal group increased by 45% (P<0.05) and 42% (P<0.05) respectively; the GABA level decreased by 18% (P<0.01). Compared with morphine dependent group, the PREG and PREGS levels in rat amygdala of morphine withdrawal group increased by 60% and 40% respectively (P<0.05); the glycine level decreased by 14% (P<0.05). Conclusion The DHEA in rat amygdala may play a role in the development of morphine dependence but not involved in the manifestation of withdrawal symptoms. Other neurosteroids (including PREG, AP and PREGS) in rat amygdala seem to be involved in withdrawal but not in dependence. The synthesis and release of inhibitory amino acids in amygdala were depressed when withdrawal was precipitated by naloxone. The results suggest that different changes of neurosteroids and amino acids exist in stages of morphine dependence and withdrawal.

Aim To detect the effect of morphine dependence and withdrawal on the levels of neurosteroids and amino acid neurotransmitters in nucleus accumbens in rat morphine dependent model. Methods Nucleus accumbens was dissected out from morphine dependent and naloxone precipitated withdrawal rats. The contents of neurosteroids including dehydroepiandrosterone, pregnenolone, allopregnanolone, dehydroepiandrosterone sulfate and pregnenolone sulfate were detected with liquid chromatography-negative atmospheric pressure with ionization mass spectrometry(LC-MS). The contents of glycine, glutamate and ?-aminobutyric acid were quantitated by HPLC-ECD with precolumn derivatization. Results Compared with saline group,in nucleus accumbens of morphine withdrawal rats, the level of dehydroepiandrosterone sulfate (P

Objective: To investigate the effect of morphine dependence and withdrawal on the levels of neurosteroids in hippocampus of male rat.Methods: Rats were given (ip) increasing doses of morphine to form morphine physical dependence, withdrawal syndromes were precipitated by naloxone. The conditioned place preference (CPP) was used to establish morphine psychological dependence. The concentrations of dehydroepiandrosterone (DHEA), dehydroepiandrosterone sulfate (DHEAS), pregnenolone (PREG), pregnenolone sulfate (PREGS), and allopregnanolone (AP) in rat hippocampus and plasma were quantified by liquid chromatography-mass spectrometry. Results:The rat model of morphine physical and psychological dependence were successfully established by ip increasing doses of morphine for 7 days and 5mg?kg~ -1 morphine for 10 days respectively. Compared with saline control group, morphine physical dependence increased DHEA and PREG contents in rat hippocampus (0.88?0.19/0.67?0.17,t=2.52,10.94?2.02/7.53?2.64,t=3.24,P

Aim To investigate the preventive effect of nicotinylsalicylic acid(NSA) on experimental atherosclerosis in high cholesterol-fed quails. Methods Ninety one male quails were randomly divided into six groups:groupⅠ,normal control;groupⅡ,model control;group Ⅲ, NSA 150 mg?kg~(-1)?d~(-1); group Ⅳ, NSA 300 mg?kg~(-1)?d~(-1); groupⅤ, the nicotinic acid 75 mg?kg~(-1)?d~(-1) and the acetylsalicylic acid 75 mg?kg~(-1)?d~(-1); groupⅥ, the nicotinic acid 150 mg?kg~(-1)?d~(-1). The levels of TC,TG,HDL-C,LDL-C and MDA in serum were measured with biochemical method(0,4,8 wks). All of the quails were killed after 8 wks. Variables observed included aorta pathologic changed, TC and TG contents and the heart pathologic changes. Results The experimental data indicated that the high cholesterol-feeding increased the level of TC,TG,LDL-C and MDA,decreased the level of HDL-C in serum, aortic wall have obvious atherosclerosis. Data of the study demonstrated that the level of TC,TG,LDL-C and MDA were decreased,the level of HDL-C were increased by NSA in the high cholesterol-fed quails,aortic wall TC,TG were decreased by NSA,and atherosclerosis was regressed in aortic wall. Conclusion NSA has preventive effect on the experimental atherosclerosis among the high cholesterol-fed quails.

Aim To investigate the protective effect of naringenin on isoniazid and rifampicin induced hepatotoxicity and the role of CYP 3A4.Methods Isoniazid and rifampicin were added to culture media for QSG-7701 cells and cultured for 48 hours. Narringenin, 1,5 and 25 mg·L~(-1) in final concentration,was added concomitant with isoniazid and rifampicin. The culture media and cells were collected and the activities of lactate dehydrogenase were detected with chromatometry. The ratio of extra/intracellular lactate dehydrogenase was calculated as the release rate of lactate dehydrogenase. Cells were incubated with midazolam for 2 hours after treatment with durgs and the concentration of midazolam in the incubation media was determined with HPLC-MS.Results Compared with control group, isoniazid and rifampicin treatment increased lactate dehydrogenase release and CYP 3A4 activity significantly. Naringenin attenuated the effect of isoniazid and rifampicin on lactate dehydrogenase and CYP 3A4 activity.Conclusion Naringenin can attenuate the hepatotoxicity of isoniazid and rifampicin through inhibiting the activity of CYP 3A4 in cultured hepatocytes.
