旨在研究内皮素-1(Endothelin-1,ET-1)对羊驼皮肤黑素细胞(Melanocyte,MC)增殖和黑素合成的影响。本研究中,体外培养正常羊驼皮肤黑素细胞,观察不同浓度ET-1(0、0.1、1、10、100nmol.L-1)对羊驼皮肤黑素细胞增殖、黑素含量、内皮素受体B...旨在研究内皮素-1(Endothelin-1,ET-1)对羊驼皮肤黑素细胞(Melanocyte,MC)增殖和黑素合成的影响。本研究中,体外培养正常羊驼皮肤黑素细胞,观察不同浓度ET-1(0、0.1、1、10、100nmol.L-1)对羊驼皮肤黑素细胞增殖、黑素含量、内皮素受体B(Endothelin recepter B,EDNRB)基因、酪氨酸酶(Tyrosinase,TYR)基因、酪氨酸相关蛋白-1(Tyrosinase related protein 1,TRP-1)基因和表皮黑皮素-1受体(Melanocortin 1receptor,MC1R)基因表达量的影响。结果表明,ET-1处理羊驼皮肤黑素细胞3d后,羊驼皮肤黑素细胞增多,黑素含量、EDNRB、TRP-1和TYR基因表达量都明显增加(P<0.05),以10nmol.L-1组最为显著。ET-1能诱导羊驼皮肤黑素细胞增殖、树突增长,诱导EDNRB、TYR和TRP-1基因表达量增高,使黑素合成增加;同时诱导MC1R基因表达量增高,从而通过α-MSH信号通路对羊驼黑色素的生成产生影响。展开更多

Hence,...Background The mutation of the tyrosinase （TYR） gene results in oculocutaneous albinism type 1 （OCA1）, an autosomal recessive genetic disorder. OCA1 is the most common type of OCA in the Chinese population. Hence, the TYR gene was tested in this study. We also delineated the genetic analysis of OCA1 in a Chinese family. Methods Genomic DNA was isolated from the blood leukocytes of a proband and his family. Mutational analysis at the TYR locus by DNA sequencing was used to screen five exons, including the intron/exon junctions. A pedigree chart was drawn and the fundus of the eyes of the proband was also examined. Results A novel missense mutation p.1151S on exon 1, and homozygous TYR mutant alleles were identified in the proband. None of the mutants was identified among the 100 normal control subjects. Genetic analysis of the proband＇s wife showed normal alleles in the TYR gene. Thus, the fetus was predicated a carrier of OCA1 with a normal appearance. Conclusion This study provided new information about a novel mutation, p.1151S, in the TYR gene in a Chinese family with OCAI. Further investigation of the proband would be helpful to determine the effects of this mutation on TYR activity.展开更多
