概括
补充氨酸对于败血症期间的免疫功能至关重要,因为巨细胞需要它来产生氧化 (NO) 和调节炎症反应. 单独的素不足以恢复这些重要过程.
科学领域:
- 免疫学 免疫学 免疫学
- 生物化学 生物化学
- 败血症病理生理学病理生理学
背景情况:
- 严重的败血症的特征是免疫功能障碍和多器官衰竭.
- 素缺乏症在败血症中很常见,但由于潜在的过度氧化 (NO) 生产,补充是有争议的.
- 素被提议作为阿尔金因的替代品,但其在败血症中的疗效尚不清楚.
研究的目的:
- 调查外源性阿尔金因和素在败血症期间巨细胞功能中的作用.
- 为了澄清诱导性氧化合成酶 (iNOS) 和相关途径的调节.
- 为了确定阿金宁和氨酸对炎症性细胞因子概况的影响.
主要方法:
- 使用了RAW 264.7和骨髓衍生的巨细胞,用脂多糖 (LPS) 刺激.
- 评估了iNOS,阿尔金酸合成酶1 (ASS1) 和阿尔金酸酶 (ASL) 的蛋白质和mRNA表达.
- 在不同氨基酸条件下测量氧化 (NO) 生产和炎症性细胞因子/化学因子表达.
主要成果:
- 巨细胞的氧化 (NO) 生成和iNOS,ASS1,ASL蛋白质表达依赖于外源性氨酸.
- 在无氨酸条件下,外源性氨酸并没有恢复NO的产生.
- 氨酸,而不是氨酸,是克服iNOS和ASS1的转化抑制和选择性调节炎性细胞因子配置的必要条件.
结论:
- 外源性氨酸对于恢复巨细胞NO生成和调节败血症炎症反应至关重要.
- 素补充剂不足以克服巨细胞中与素缺乏相关的缺陷.
- 氨酸在调节巨细胞炎症性细胞因子表达和在败血症期间NO产生的过程中起着复杂的,差异性的作用.

Nitric Oxide Signaling Pathway
5.2K
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...

Inflammatory Response
7.7K
An inflammatory response is a localized, nonspecific immune reaction that occurs when a tissue is injured. It is characterized by redness, swelling, heat, and pain, which are commonly called the cardinal signs and symptoms of inflammation. Inflammation can sometimes result in a loss of function.
Inflammation can be triggered by various stimuli, such as impact, abrasion, chemical irritation, infections, and extreme hot or cold temperatures. These can damage cells and connective tissue fibers,...

Regulation of Angiogenesis and Blood Supply
2.7K
Rapidly dividing tumors, embryos, and wounded tissues require more oxygen than usual, lowering the oxygen concentration in the blood. At low oxygen or hypoxic conditions, an oxygen-sensitive transcription factor called the hypoxia-inducible factor 1 or HIF1 is activated. HIF1 is a dimeric protein of alpha (ɑ) and beta (β) subunits. Under optimal oxygen conditions, HIF1β is present in the nucleus while HIF1ɑ remains in the cytosol. HIF1ɑ is hydroxylated by prolyl...
