This study describes the use of a carbon fiber microelectrode modified with a tetrasulfonated nickel phthalocyanine complex for the detection of MNP at a lower potential than that of direct phenol oxidation. The MNP voltammogram showed the presence of an anodic peak at -0.11 V vs SCE, corresponding to the oxidation of the hydroxylamine group generated after the reduction of the nitro group. The effect of buffer pH on the peak current and SWV parameters such as frequency, scan increment, and pulse amplitude were studied and optimized to have better electrochemical response of the proposed sensor. With these optimal parameters, the calibration curve shows that the peak current varied linearly as a function of MNP concentration, leading to a limit of detection (LoD) of 1.1 μg/L. These results show an appreciable sensitivity of the sensor for detecting the MNP at relatively low potentials, making it possible to avoid passivation phenomena.展开更多

In addition, there are no reports of analysis of differential protein expression. OBJECTIVE: To separate and evaluate MPTP-induced differential protein expression through the use of proteomics in the substantia nigra of a mouse model of chronic Parkinson's disease. DESIGN: Randomized controlled animal study. SETTING: Department of Neurology, the First Affiliated Hospital, Chongqing Medical University. MATERIALS: Sixteen 8-10-week old, healthy, male, C57BL mice, weighing 20-25 g, and of clean grade, were provided by the Experimental Animal Center of Chongqing Medical University. The experimental animals were disposed according to ethical criteria. MPTP was provided by Sigma Company, USA; Pdquest 2D image analysis software and gelatum/irradiance image analysis system (ChemiDoc XRS) by Bio-Rad, USA; and Voyager DE-PROMALD1-TOF-MS mass spectroscopy analyzer by AB1 Company, USA. METHODS: This study was performed in Chongqing Neurological Laboratory between November 2006 and July 2007. Mice were randomly divided into model and control groups, with 8 mice in each group. Mice in the model group were received a subcutaneous injection of MPTP (25 mg&g), twice a week, for five successive weeks, to establish a chronic Parkinson's disease model. Mice in the control group received the same volume of a subcutaneous saline injection at the same time points. Mice were sacrificed by anesthesia to rapidly obtain the midbrain for protein separation of the substantia nigra. MAIN OUTCOME MEASURES: (1) 2-ED handbook (Bio-Rad Company) was referenced for two-dimensional electrophoresis, (2) PDQUEST8,0 analytical electrophoresis pattern was adopted to evaluate differential protein expression. (3) Peptide mass finger print map and data were retrieved on http://www.prospector.ucsf.edu to compare differential substantia nigral protein expression in the two groups. RESULTS: Two-dimensional gel electrophoresis of substantia nigra tissue indicated that there were 33 differential protein expressions between the two groups. Three new proteins were evaluated, including α -enolase, which exhibited regulated expression, tumor necrosis factor ligand superfamily member 4, and cyclin-dependent kinase inhibitor 1B. CONCLUSION: There are three proteins that exhibit differential expression in the substantia nigra- α -enolase, tumor necrosis factor ligand superfamily member 4, and cyclin-dependent kinase inhibitor 1B.展开更多

Hematoxylin-eosin staining and a terminal deoxynucleotidyl transferase dUTP nick end labeling assay showed that retinal ganglion cells gradually decreased with increasing time of optic nerve injury, while GYKI 52466 could inhibit this process. The results demonstrate that following acute optic nerve injury, apoptosis of retinal ganglion cells is a programmed process, which can be inhibited by the alpha-amino-3-hydroxy-5-methyl-4-isoxazolepropionic acid receptor antagonist.展开更多

However, the underlying molecular mechanism remains unknown. The present study investigated the regulatory effects of nerve growth factor (Akt activator) and lithium chloride (glycogen synthase kinase-3β inhibitor) on the endoplasmic reticulum stress signaling pathway. The results revealed that MPP+ induced expression of Bip and C/EBP homologous protein. The upregulation of Bip and C/EBP homologous protein, as well as the decreased pro-caspase-12 level induced by MPP^+ were inhibited by pretreatment of the nerve growth factor or lithium chloride. These results suggest that the phosphatidylinositol 3 kinase-Aktglycogen synthase kinase-3β pathway is involved in MPP-induced endoplasmic reticulum stress.展开更多

Animal models of PD are essential tools in studies on etiology and therapy and should mimic the chronic pathological process, histological characteristics and motor behavior dysfunction. In recent years, transgenic mice have been widely utilized to study the mechanism of PD, and it has become imperative that a PD mouse model of motor behavioral dysfunction be established. OBJECTIVE: To compare the behavioral and histochemical characters of two neurotoxic mice model induced with 6-hydroxydopamine (6-OHDA) or 1-methyl-4-phenyl-1, 2, 3, 6 -tetrahydropyridine (MPTP), and a better method to mimic Parkinson disease will be found out. DESIGN: Parallel experiment. SETTING: Laboratory of Molecular Genetics, Department of Medical Genetics, Shanghai Jiao Tohg University. MATERIALS: Sixty 129Sv/C57BL6J male wild mice, SPF grade, 8 - 12 weeks old, weighing 20 - 25 g, were provided by Experimental Animal Center, Shanghai Jiao Tong University. All the surgery operation was performed according to the rules of Shanghai Jiaotong University Animal Committee. METHODS: The experiment was carried out in the Laboratory of Molecular Genetics (National Key Laboratory), Department of Medical Genetics, Shanghai Jiao Ttong University from March to August 2006. ①Thirty-two male mice were randomly divided into control group and drug treatment group with 16 mice in each group. Surgery was carried out and 6-OHDA was administrated to substantia nigra pars compacta (SNpc) and nigra-striatum pathway according to the different parameters with intoxication apparatus. Saline was injected to the other 16 mice according to the same paradigm. 1 mg/kg apomorphine was injected intraperitoneally 2 weeks later after surgery to induce the imbalanced rotation behavior for 40 minutes. ②Twenty-eight mice were randomly divided into 4 groups with 7 in each group, including low-dose, moderate-dose, high-dose groups and negative control group. Then, mice in the drug treatment group were injected intraperitoneally with 5, 10 and 15 mg/kg MPTP for 9 successive days. In addition, mice in the control group were injected with the same volume of saline for 9 days. Pole test and stride length test were utilized to detect coordinative behavioral dysfunction. Mice were sacrificed 20 days after MPTP treatment, and histochemical staining of tyrosine hydroxynase (TH) was used to observe the loss of dopaminergic neuron in SNpc. MAIN OUTCOME MEASURES: ① Success ratio of each model establishment method; ② inducible asymmetric cycle behavior test 2 weeks after 6-OHDA injection; ③behavioral dysfunction in pole test and stride length, morphological changes in brain tissue. RESULTS: Totally sixty mice were used in this experiment and 3 mice were excluded because of the hypersensitivity or the clumsy reaction in motor behavioral detection before MPTP treatment, therefore, data was analyzed with the rest 57 mice. ① Lethal ratio: Three out of 16 mice died in striatum injection group and 5 out of 16 mice died in nigro-striatal pathway group. No mouse died in MPTP treatment groups. ② Locomotor behavior: No dysfunction of locomotor was found in 6-OHDA treatment groups. However, several motor behavioral dysfunction were start to present at the 4th day of MPTP injection. ③ Asymmetric cycle behavior: No asymmetric cycle was induced successfully two weeks after 6-OHDA surgery. Mice show hypersensitive behavior 10 minutes after apomorphine injection, which lasted for about 20 minutes. ④ Pole test: From the 4^th day of MPTP treatment, mice started to display coordinate dysfunction, such as climbing down along the pole in spiral, moving slowly with hesitation. Some mice could not grab the pole and slide down along the pole at 4th day post injection. Comparing with 0 dose control group, all the threedrug treatment groups show significant different dysfunction from the 4th day to the 20th day post injection (P 〈 0.01). ⑤ stride length test: Mice's stride length decreased, when treated with MPTP, and the mice in the high dose group displayed obviously. ⑥ Dopaminergic neuron stained with TH in nigra pars compacta: The results indicated that administrated MPTP (from low dose to high dose) by intraperitoneal cause chronic lesions on the dopaminergic neuron in the SNpc. CONCLUSION: PD mice models induced with 6-OHDA show high mortality ratio and no asymmetric cycle was found after apomorphine injection. However, injection of MPTP intraperitoneally can simulate the chronic pathway of PD, typical histological changes are found and stable motor behavioral dysfunctions are displayed.展开更多
文摘Electrochemical detection of 3-methyl-4-nitrophenol (MNP) in direct phenol oxidation occurs at high potentials and generally leads to progressive passivation of the electrochemical sensor. This study describes the use of a carbon fiber microelectrode modified with a tetrasulfonated nickel phthalocyanine complex for the detection of MNP at a lower potential than that of direct phenol oxidation. The MNP voltammogram showed the presence of an anodic peak at -0.11 V vs SCE, corresponding to the oxidation of the hydroxylamine group generated after the reduction of the nitro group. The effect of buffer pH on the peak current and SWV parameters such as frequency, scan increment, and pulse amplitude were studied and optimized to have better electrochemical response of the proposed sensor. With these optimal parameters, the calibration curve shows that the peak current varied linearly as a function of MNP concentration, leading to a limit of detection (LoD) of 1.1 μg/L. These results show an appreciable sensitivity of the sensor for detecting the MNP at relatively low potentials, making it possible to avoid passivation phenomena.

文摘The extraction behavior of rare earths was studied by using paraffin with ceresin as a diluent containing 1-phenyl-3-methyl-4-benzoyl-pyrazolone-5.In solid phase,the composition of complexes is REP_3.The equilib- rium extraction constants and pH_(1/2) values of solid-liquid extraction are higher than those of normal liquid-liquid extraction.The extraction efficiency tends to maximum when the ratio of phases is 1:1.When the extraction temperature is higher than the melting point of paraffin and the extraction time is over 10 min,the extraction efficiency keeps constant.Moreover,the relationship among separation factor,equilibrium extrac- tion constant,pH_(1/2) value and atomic number was obtained.The mechanism of solid-liquid extraction is analogous to that of liquid-liquid extraction.

文摘BACKGROUND: To date, a complete protein expression profile of the midbrain substantia nigra in a mouse model of chronic Parkinson's disease, induced by 1-methyl-4-phenyl-1, 2, 3, 6-tetrahydropyridine (MPTP), does not exist. In addition, there are no reports of analysis of differential protein expression. OBJECTIVE: To separate and evaluate MPTP-induced differential protein expression through the use of proteomics in the substantia nigra of a mouse model of chronic Parkinson's disease. DESIGN: Randomized controlled animal study. SETTING: Department of Neurology, the First Affiliated Hospital, Chongqing Medical University. MATERIALS: Sixteen 8-10-week old, healthy, male, C57BL mice, weighing 20-25 g, and of clean grade, were provided by the Experimental Animal Center of Chongqing Medical University. The experimental animals were disposed according to ethical criteria. MPTP was provided by Sigma Company, USA; Pdquest 2D image analysis software and gelatum/irradiance image analysis system (ChemiDoc XRS) by Bio-Rad, USA; and Voyager DE-PROMALD1-TOF-MS mass spectroscopy analyzer by AB1 Company, USA. METHODS: This study was performed in Chongqing Neurological Laboratory between November 2006 and July 2007. Mice were randomly divided into model and control groups, with 8 mice in each group. Mice in the model group were received a subcutaneous injection of MPTP (25 mg&g), twice a week, for five successive weeks, to establish a chronic Parkinson's disease model. Mice in the control group received the same volume of a subcutaneous saline injection at the same time points. Mice were sacrificed by anesthesia to rapidly obtain the midbrain for protein separation of the substantia nigra. MAIN OUTCOME MEASURES: (1) 2-ED handbook (Bio-Rad Company) was referenced for two-dimensional electrophoresis, (2) PDQUEST8,0 analytical electrophoresis pattern was adopted to evaluate differential protein expression. (3) Peptide mass finger print map and data were retrieved on http://www.prospector.ucsf.edu to compare differential substantia nigral protein expression in the two groups. RESULTS: Two-dimensional gel electrophoresis of substantia nigra tissue indicated that there were 33 differential protein expressions between the two groups. Three new proteins were evaluated, including α -enolase, which exhibited regulated expression, tumor necrosis factor ligand superfamily member 4, and cyclin-dependent kinase inhibitor 1B. CONCLUSION: There are three proteins that exhibit differential expression in the substantia nigra- α -enolase, tumor necrosis factor ligand superfamily member 4, and cyclin-dependent kinase inhibitor 1B.

文摘A rabbit model of traumatic optic nerve injury, established by occlusion of the optic nerve using a vascular clamp, was used to investigate the effects of alpha-amino-3-hydroxy-5-methyl-4-isoxazolepropionic acid receptor antagonist GYKI 52466 on apoptosis of retinal ganglion cells following nerve injury. Hematoxylin-eosin staining and a terminal deoxynucleotidyl transferase dUTP nick end labeling assay showed that retinal ganglion cells gradually decreased with increasing time of optic nerve injury, while GYKI 52466 could inhibit this process. The results demonstrate that following acute optic nerve injury, apoptosis of retinal ganglion cells is a programmed process, which can be inhibited by the alpha-amino-3-hydroxy-5-methyl-4-isoxazolepropionic acid receptor antagonist.

文摘1-methyl-4-phenylpyridinium ion (MPP^+) induces endoplasmic reticulum stress and activates caspase-12 in PC12 cells, leading to neuronal apoptosis. However, the underlying molecular mechanism remains unknown. The present study investigated the regulatory effects of nerve growth factor (Akt activator) and lithium chloride (glycogen synthase kinase-3β inhibitor) on the endoplasmic reticulum stress signaling pathway. The results revealed that MPP+ induced expression of Bip and C/EBP homologous protein. The upregulation of Bip and C/EBP homologous protein, as well as the decreased pro-caspase-12 level induced by MPP^+ were inhibited by pretreatment of the nerve growth factor or lithium chloride. These results suggest that the phosphatidylinositol 3 kinase-Aktglycogen synthase kinase-3β pathway is involved in MPP-induced endoplasmic reticulum stress.

文摘At present, pathogenesis and mechanism of Parkinson disease (PD) are still unclear. Animal models of PD are essential tools in studies on etiology and therapy and should mimic the chronic pathological process, histological characteristics and motor behavior dysfunction. In recent years, transgenic mice have been widely utilized to study the mechanism of PD, and it has become imperative that a PD mouse model of motor behavioral dysfunction be established. OBJECTIVE: To compare the behavioral and histochemical characters of two neurotoxic mice model induced with 6-hydroxydopamine (6-OHDA) or 1-methyl-4-phenyl-1, 2, 3, 6 -tetrahydropyridine (MPTP), and a better method to mimic Parkinson disease will be found out. DESIGN: Parallel experiment. SETTING: Laboratory of Molecular Genetics, Department of Medical Genetics, Shanghai Jiao Tohg University. MATERIALS: Sixty 129Sv/C57BL6J male wild mice, SPF grade, 8 - 12 weeks old, weighing 20 - 25 g, were provided by Experimental Animal Center, Shanghai Jiao Tong University. All the surgery operation was performed according to the rules of Shanghai Jiaotong University Animal Committee. METHODS: The experiment was carried out in the Laboratory of Molecular Genetics (National Key Laboratory), Department of Medical Genetics, Shanghai Jiao Ttong University from March to August 2006. ①Thirty-two male mice were randomly divided into control group and drug treatment group with 16 mice in each group. Surgery was carried out and 6-OHDA was administrated to substantia nigra pars compacta (SNpc) and nigra-striatum pathway according to the different parameters with intoxication apparatus. Saline was injected to the other 16 mice according to the same paradigm. 1 mg/kg apomorphine was injected intraperitoneally 2 weeks later after surgery to induce the imbalanced rotation behavior for 40 minutes. ②Twenty-eight mice were randomly divided into 4 groups with 7 in each group, including low-dose, moderate-dose, high-dose groups and negative control group. Then, mice in the drug treatment group were injected intraperitoneally with 5, 10 and 15 mg/kg MPTP for 9 successive days. In addition, mice in the control group were injected with the same volume of saline for 9 days. Pole test and stride length test were utilized to detect coordinative behavioral dysfunction. Mice were sacrificed 20 days after MPTP treatment, and histochemical staining of tyrosine hydroxynase (TH) was used to observe the loss of dopaminergic neuron in SNpc. MAIN OUTCOME MEASURES: ① Success ratio of each model establishment method; ② inducible asymmetric cycle behavior test 2 weeks after 6-OHDA injection; ③behavioral dysfunction in pole test and stride length, morphological changes in brain tissue. RESULTS: Totally sixty mice were used in this experiment and 3 mice were excluded because of the hypersensitivity or the clumsy reaction in motor behavioral detection before MPTP treatment, therefore, data was analyzed with the rest 57 mice. ① Lethal ratio: Three out of 16 mice died in striatum injection group and 5 out of 16 mice died in nigro-striatal pathway group. No mouse died in MPTP treatment groups. ② Locomotor behavior: No dysfunction of locomotor was found in 6-OHDA treatment groups. However, several motor behavioral dysfunction were start to present at the 4th day of MPTP injection. ③ Asymmetric cycle behavior: No asymmetric cycle was induced successfully two weeks after 6-OHDA surgery. Mice show hypersensitive behavior 10 minutes after apomorphine injection, which lasted for about 20 minutes. ④ Pole test: From the 4^th day of MPTP treatment, mice started to display coordinate dysfunction, such as climbing down along the pole in spiral, moving slowly with hesitation. Some mice could not grab the pole and slide down along the pole at 4th day post injection. Comparing with 0 dose control group, all the threedrug treatment groups show significant different dysfunction from the 4th day to the 20th day post injection (P 〈 0.01). ⑤ stride length test: Mice's stride length decreased, when treated with MPTP, and the mice in the high dose group displayed obviously. ⑥ Dopaminergic neuron stained with TH in nigra pars compacta: The results indicated that administrated MPTP (from low dose to high dose) by intraperitoneal cause chronic lesions on the dopaminergic neuron in the SNpc. CONCLUSION: PD mice models induced with 6-OHDA show high mortality ratio and no asymmetric cycle was found after apomorphine injection. However, injection of MPTP intraperitoneally can simulate the chronic pathway of PD, typical histological changes are found and stable motor behavioral dysfunctions are displayed.
