科学领域:

血管生物学血管生物学
神经科学是一个神经科学.
衰老研究研究衰老研究

背景情况:

胺基原蛋白 (Medin) 是一种氨基原蛋白,随着衰老而积聚在血管系统中.
血管医学与阿尔茨海默病,血管痴呆症和大动脉动脉瘤有关.
梅丁会损害人类大脑动脉的血管扩张,但其在VSMC激活中的作用尚不清楚.

研究的目的:

为了研究梅丁对人脑血管光滑肌细胞 (VSMC) 激活的影响.
为了确定梅丁是否影响VSMCs的亲炎性因子表达.
评估药物对VSMC结构蛋白的影响.

主要方法:

人类大脑的VSMC暴露在不同剂量的药物中.
量化了促炎因素 (IL-6,IL-8,MCP-1) 的基因和蛋白质表达.
分析了VSMC结构蛋白 (ACTA2,MYH11,NOX4) 的表达,包括和没有NFκB抑制剂.

主要成果:

梅丁显著增加了IL-6,IL-8和MCP-1的VSMC基因和蛋白质分泌.
没有观察到ACTA2,MYH11,或NOX4基因或蛋白质表达的变化.

Nitric Oxide Signaling Pathway

Nitric Oxide Signaling Pathway

Nitric oxide (NO), an inorganic gas, acts as a potent second messenger in most animal and plant tissues. NO diffuses out of the cells that produce it and enters the neighboring cells to generate a downstream response. NO synthase (NOS) catalyzes NO production by the deamination of the amino acid arginine. There are three isoforms of NOS. Endothelial cells have endothelial NOS (eNOS), nerve and muscle cells have neuronal NOS (nNOS), and macrophages produce inducible NOS (iNOS) upon exposure...
