METHODS: Eighty patients with CHD and 160 controls were employed. We also compared the levels of anti- heat-shock protein 60 (Hsp60) antibodies in the two groups. The H pylori infection and the CagA status were determined serologically, using commercially available enzyme-linked immunosorbent assays (ELISA), and a Western blotting method developed in our laboratory. Systemic antibodies to Hsp60 were determined by a sandwich ELISA, using a polyclonal antibody to Hsp60 to sensitise polystyrene plates and a commercially available human Hsp60 as an antigen. RESULTS: The overall prevalence of H pylori infec- tion was 78.7% (n = 63) in patients and 76.2% (n = 122) in controls (P = 0.07). Patients infected by CagA- positive (CagA+) H pylori strains were 71.4% (n = 45) vs 52.4% of infected controls (P = 0.030, OR = 2.27). Sys-temic levels of IgG to Hsp60 were increased in H pylori- negative patients compared with uninfected controls (P < 0.001) and CagA-positive infected patients compared with CagA-positive infected controls (P = 0.007). CONCLUSION: CagA positive H pylori infection may concur to the development of CHD; high levels of anti- Hsp60 antibodies may constitute a marker and/or a con- comitant pathogenic factor of the disease.展开更多

Both EGTA and EDTA inhibited the activation of endonuclease activity in isolated HL 60 cell nuclei. The inhibition by EDTA could be reversed by exogenous Ca 2+ , but not by exogenous Mg 2+ . In Ca 2+ /Mg 2+ free nuclei digestion buffer, addition of Ca 2+ （1\10 mmol/L） induced endonuclease activity in the isolated nuclei, while addition of Mg 2+ had no effect. In the presence of Ca 2+ （0.1 mmol/L）, endonuclease activity was enhanced by exogenous Mg 2+ （0.1\10 mmol/L）. These results suggest that the endonuclease responsible for internucleosomal DNA fragmentation in HL 60 cells during apoptosis is activated by Ca 2+ and further modulated by Mg 2+ in the presence of Ca 2+ .展开更多
