| 1 | Extracellular Signal-Regulated Kinase in Nucleus Accumbens Mediates Propofol Self-Administration in Rats显示文摘Clinical and animal studies have indicated that propofol has potential for abuse,but the specific neurobiological mechanism underlying propofol reward is not fully understood.The purpose of this study was to investigate the role of extracellular signal-regulated kinase(ERK) signal transduction pathways in the nucleus accumbens(NAc) in propofol self-administration.We tested the expression of p-ERK in the NAc following the maintenance of propofol self-administration in rats.We also assessed the effect of administration of SCH23390,an antagonist of the D1 dopamine receptor,on the expression of p-ERK in the NAc in propofol self-administering rats,and examined the effects of intra-NAc injection of U0126,an MEK inhibitor,on propofol reinforcement in rats.The results showed that the expression of p-ERK in the NAc increased significantly in rats maintained on propofol,and pre-treatment with SCH23390 inhibited the propofol selfadministration and diminished the expression of p-ERK in the NAc.Moreover,intra-NAc injection of U0126(4 μg/side) attenuated the propofol self-administration.The data suggest that ERK signal transduction pathways coupled with D1 dopamine receptors in the NAc may be involved in the maintenance of propofol self-administration and its rewarding effects. | Benfu Wang Xiaowei Yang Anna Sun Lanman Xu Sicong Wang Wenxuan Lin Miaojun Lai Huaqiang Zhu Wenhua Zhou Qingquan Lian | 2016 | Neuroscience Bulletin2016,32,6: | 12 |

| 3 | Selection pressure drives the co-evolution of several lipid metabolism genes in mammals显示文摘Adipose tissue is an important endocrine organ and energy supplier.Its physiological effect on the regulation of the energy balance is considered an important factor underlying the evolution of mammals.To test whether the genes controlling lipid metabolism have undergone adaptive molecular change in the evolution of mammals,in this study,we used the orthologous gene sequences of 12 important lipid metabolism proteins (leptin,OB-RL,RXRA,RXRB,RXRG,PPARA,PPARB/D,PPARG,PNLIP,ADIPOQ,LPL and UCP1) from NCBI's databases.We found evidence that 4 of the corresponding genes (leptin,ADIPOQ,PNLIP and PPARA) have undergone positive selection in their evolutionary history and that most adaptive changes occurred during the evolution of the super-clades Laurasiatheria (placentals) and suborders within Euarchontoglires (primates and rodents).Comparisons across sets of genes showed that in a third of cases,bursts of positive selection,more than would be expected by chance,occurred on corresponding branches.We propose that the positive selection drives adaptive changes in some lipid metabolism genes in or within Laurasiatheria and Euarchontoglires clades.Along with evidence from earlier studies,our results show that co-evolution among interacting lipid metabolism proteins has taken place. | LIN BenFu YUAN LiHong CHEN JinPing | 2012 | Chinese Science Bulletin2012,57,8: | 0 |
| 4 | Differential expression analysis of Liprin-α2 in hibernating bat (Rhinolophus ferrumequinum)显示文摘A PCR-based subtractive hybridization technique was used to identify genes up-regulated in the hibernating bat brain to explore the molecular mechanism of hibernation. Three genes, Liprin-a2, PTP4A2 and CAMKKb were difierentially expressed in hibernating bat brain tissue compared to active bat brain tissue. One of them, Liprin-a2, which has recently been shown to have the key function in the organization of presynaptic and postsynaptic multiprotein complexes was studied in detail. We demonstrated that the expression level of Liprin-a2 was up-regulated almost 4-fold in hibernating bat brains by RT-PCR compared to levels in active bats. The difierential expression pattern of Liprin-a2 was also detected in muscle, fat, brain and heart tissue of hibernating bats by real-time quantitative PCR. The result indicated that Liprin-a2 was over-expressed in brain and heart tissue and down-regulated in muscle and fat. In brain tissue of hibernating bats, Liprin-a2 expression was statistically significantly higher than in brain tissue of active controls (P = 0.029). The precise control of transcriptional level and the distinctively difierential expression pattern of Liprin-a2 in difierent organs during circ- annual hibernation may have important physiological significance, not only in maintaining normal function of many key organs but also in effectively conserving limited energy resources without physiological damage. | Lihong Yuan Xueguo Zuo Jinping Chen Benfu Lin Junpeng Zhang Min Sun Shuyi Zhang | 2008 | Progress in Natural Science:Materials International2008,18,1: | 0 |
