Human bronchi smooth muscle cells were cultured with CSE at the different concentrations. The expression of Hsp70 mRNA and Hsp70 was detected by reverse translation-polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR) and Western blotting respectively. Levels of Hsp70 mRNA and Hsp70 in lymphocytes from 20 patients with COPD and 20 healthy smoking control subjects were measured by RT-PCR and Western blotting. The results showed the expression of both Hsp70 mRNA and Hsp70 was decreased conformably in human bronchi smooth muscle cells treated with CSE at certain concentration in vitro. The A values of the Hsp70 mRNA expression were 0.24±0.11 and 0.42±0.13 respectively in COPD patients and healthy smoking controls with the difference being significant (P<0.01). There was also significant difference in the A values of the Hsp70 expression between COPD patients and healthy smoking controls (20.9±9.9 vs 44.8±15.3, P<0.01). The levels of Hsp70 mRNA had strongly positive correlation with Hsp70 protein (r = 0.85, P<0 01). It was suggested that the expression of Hsp70 mRNA was in concordance with the expression of Hsp70, which could provide a basis on the study of Hsp70 gene regulation and Hsp70 gene in the development of COPD.展开更多

文摘为探讨锦鲤的抗逆机理,在实验室条件下研究了持续热应激对大正三色锦鲤非特异性免疫指标及HSP70基因相对表达量的影响。分别于应激前、应激后2、6、10、14、18、22、26 h进行取样测定呼吸爆发、补体蛋白3(C3)、超氧化物歧化酶(SOD)、丙二醛(MDA)以及热休克蛋白70(HSP70)基因的相对表达量。结果发现,热应激后呼吸爆发降低,在应激后2、10、18～26h降低显著(P<0.05);热应激2 h后血清中C3含量略有上升,应激6～26 h过程中与应激前相比均下降,应激14～22 h显著地下降(P<0.05);热应激下血清中SOD有上升的趋势,但差异不显著(P>0.05);热应激下,血清中MDA浓度升高,应激10～18 h上升显著(P<0.05);应激后2、26 h HSP70基因的相对表达量与应激前相比显著性地上升了5.93倍、2倍(P<0.05),应激后6～22 h HSP70基因的相对表达量与应激前水平无显著性差异(P>0.05)。结果表明,热应激影响锦鲤非特性免疫指标,降低锦鲤非特异性免疫力;HSP70的表达受热应激调节,热应激下诱导合成的HSP70对锦鲤起到一定的应激保护作用。
