目的:研究精氨加压素(4-8)(AVP(4-8))对大鼠脑内促细胞分裂素活化的蛋白激酶(MAPK)活性变化的影响.方法:大鼠皮下注射AVP(4-8)后,通过柱分离后测定脑组织匀浆液中MAPK对其特异性底物髓脂质碱性蛋白(MBP)的磷酸化活性.结果:AVP(4-8)刺激的大鼠海马和大脑皮层中的44kDaMAPK活性显著增高.这种活性增高被AVP(4-8)的拮抗剂ZDC(C)PR降低80%.MAPK蛋白量变化不受AVP(4-8)刺激的影响.在海马切片实验中,也得到一致的结果.结论:AVP(4-8)引起的44kDaMAPK活性增高是一种由受体介导的细胞内短时期的酶激活过程,与蛋白质表达量的变化无关.MAPK参与了AVP(4-8)诱导的皮层和海马内信号转导途径.
AIM: To investigate the effect of AVP (4-8) (AVP (4-8)) on the changes of mitogen-activated protein kinase (MAPK) activity in rat brain. Methods: After subcutaneous injection of AVP (4-8) into rats, the phosphorylation of MAPK, a specific substrate of MBP, in brain homogenates was determined by column separation. Results: The 44kDa MAPK activity in hippocampus and cerebral cortex of AVP (4-8) -stimulated rats was significantly increased. This increase in activity is reduced by 80% by ZDC (C) PR, an antagonist of AVP (4-8). Changes in MAPK protein levels were unaffected by AVP (4-8) stimulation. In the hippocampal slice experiment, also get the same result. CONCLUSION: Increased 44kDa MAPK activity induced by AVP (4-8) is a receptor-mediated short-term intracellular enzyme activation independent of protein expression. MAPK is involved in AVP (4-8) -induced cortical and hippocampal signal transduction pathways.
