简介:目的:观察tumstatin肽对体外培养的视网膜微血管内皮细胞迁移及P38MAPK蛋白表达的影响,初步探讨tumstatin肽抗视网膜内皮细胞迁移的机制。方法:采用细胞划痕实验测定tumstatin肽(T8肽)对血管内皮生长因子(VEGF)诱导下RF/6A细胞(恒河猴视网膜微血管内皮细胞)迁移的影响;Westernblotting检测T8肽对VEGF刺激后15,30,45,60min的RF/6A细胞P38MAPK蛋白水平的变化。结果:Tumstatin肽对RF/6A细胞迁移具有抑制作用,且可抑制VEGF对RF/6A细胞的促迁移作用,呈剂量依赖性。正常情况下,RF/6A细胞无P38MAPK蛋白的表达,但VEGF可诱导其表达P38MAPK蛋白,而tumstatin可抑制VEGF诱导的RF/6A细胞P38MAPK蛋白的表达(加入20mg/LT8肽30,45,60min时蛋白表达受到显著抑制,差异有显著性意义,P〈0.01)。结论:Tumstatin抑制视网膜微血管内皮细胞的迁移,其作用可能与P38MAPK通路有关。
简介:目的:探讨眼附属器B细胞非霍杰金淋巴瘤(B—cellnon-Hodgkinlymphoma,NHL)中Skp2,p27和PTEN的表达。方法:收集1995年到2011年青岛大学附属医院眼科石蜡包埋标本,用免疫组化法分别检测眼附属器B细胞NHL(n=30)标本中Skp2,p27和PTEN的表达,以眼部反应性淋巴组织增生(n=10)作为对照组。以患者的年龄、性别、发病部位,病理类型作为眼附属器B细胞NHL的的分类标准。结果:Skp2,p27和PTEN的表达与患者的年龄、性别、发病部位无关,而与病例类型有关。眼附属器B细胞NHLSkp2表达率与眼部反应性淋巴组织增生相比显著增高。p27,PTEN表达率与反应性淋巴组织增生相比显著降低。随眼附属器B细胞NHL病理分级的提高,Skp2的表达显著增高,p27和PTEN的表达显著降低。在黏膜相关淋巴组织结(mucosa—associatedlymphoidtissue,MALT)外边缘区B细胞淋巴瘤(diffuselargeB—celllymphoma,DLBCL)中,Skp2分别与p27,VFEN成负相关,p27和PTEN成正相关。结论:Skp2的表达升高,p27,PTEN蛋白的缺失以及可能与眼附属器B细胞NHL的发生有关;其中在MALT外边缘区DLBCL中,三种蛋白存在相关性。联合三种蛋白的检测眼附属器B细胞NHL的不同病理类型有重要意义。
