a c tBile acids are increasingly recognized as key regulators of systemic metabolism.While bile acids have long been known to play important and direct roles in nutrient absorption,bile acids also serve as signalling molecules.Bile acid interactions with the nuclear hormone receptor farnesoid X receptor (FXR)and themembrane receptor G-protein-coupled bile acid receptor 5(TGR5)can regulate incretin hormone and fibroblast growth factor 19(FGF19)secretion,cholesterol metabolism,and systemic energyexpenditure.Bile acid levels and distribution are altered in type 2diabetes and increased following bariatric procedures,in parallelwith reduced body weight and improved insulin sensitivity andglycaemic control.Thus,modulation of bile acid levels andsignalling,using bile acid binding

Clinical Gastroenterology 28(2014)573e 583models.Bile acids have long been recognized to aid in the absorption of fat and fat-soluble vitamins and modulate cholesterol levels.However,recent data indicate that bile acids also play an important role in glucose and lipid homeostasis by activating both the nuclear receptor LXR and the cell surface receptor G protein-coupled bile acid receptor 5(TGR5)[1e 3].Moreover,modulation of plasma bile acid levels and the total bile acid pool can affect glycaemic control,body weight,and insulin sensitivity[4e 6].In this review,we will focus on the relation between bile acids and regulation of systemic meta-bolism and the potential for bile acids as a therapeutic approach for obesity,insulin resistance,type 2diabetes (T2D),and other components of the metabolic syndrome.Bile acid synthesis and regulationBile acid synthesisBAs are amphipathic molecules with a steroid backbone which are synthesized from cholesterol in hepatocytes.It is estimated that about half of the 800mg of cholesterol synthesized daily is used for bile acid synthesis,totalling about 200e 600mg daily in humans [7].Bile acids are synthesized from cholesterol through two dominant pathways:the classic pathway and the alternative pathway (Fig.1).In the classic (or neutral)pathway,CYP7A1catalyses the initial and rate-limiting step converting cholesterol into 7a -hydroxycholesterol,with CYP8B1subsequently regulating synthesis of 12a -hydroxysterols including cholic acid (CA).In the alternative (or acidic)pathway,CYP27A1first hydroxylates the cholesterol side chain,converting cholesterol into 27-hydroxycholesterol,which is then 7a -hydroxylated by CYP7B1prior to CYP8B1action.In humans,the classical pathway produces the primary BA cholic acid (CA)and chenodeoxycholic acid (CDCA)in Fig.1.Bile acid synthesis pathway.Cholesterol is converted to two primary bile acids in human liver,CA and CDCA.Key regulatory enzymes in these pathways include CYP7A1,CYP8B1,CYP27A1,and CYP7B1.CYP7A1initiates the classic (neutral)biosynthetic pathway,while CYP27A1initiates the alternative (acidic)pathway in liver and macrophages.CA and CDCA can be conjugated with glycine (G)and taurine (T).In the intestine,conjugated CA and CDCA are deconjugated and then dehydroxylated at the 7a -position to the secondary bile acids DCA and LCA,respectively.H.Ma,M.E.Patti /Best Practice &Research Clinical Gastroenterology 28(2014)573e 583574H.Ma,M.E.Patti/Best Practice&Research Clinical Gastroenterology28(2014)573e583575 roughly equal amounts,whereas the alternative pathway produces mainly CDCA[8].Most bile acids are conjugated with either glycine or taurine,with a3:1predominance of glycine over taurine[3,5,9].Synthesized BA are stored in the gallbladder and secreted into the duodenum in response to feeding,contributing to digestion of lipids and lipid-soluble vitamins.The primary BA CA and CDCA can be dehydroxylated at the7a position by gut microbiota to produce the secondary BAs,predominantly deoxycholic acid(DCA)and lithocholic acid(LCA)[10,11].Thus,bile acid levels and relative composition can be modulated by gut microbiota populations[12].In the terminal ileum,BAs are efficiently absorbed by both active transport and passive diffusion, transported back to the liver via the portal vein,taken up at the sinusoidal membrane of hepatocytes, and secreted into bile again.Each BA molecule may complete4e12cycles of this enterohepatic cir-culation per day[1,13].This process is highly efficient,as only about5%of bile acids are lost in feces [3,14].This process is similar in mice,although different bile acid species dominate.CDCA is efficiently converted into muricholic acid(MCA),and BAs are conjugated to taurine.Given that different BA have different structures,hydrophobicity,and affinities for membrane and nuclear receptors,interindividual differences in BA pool composition resulting from differential regulation of the complex BA synthesis pathway may have functional consequences for systemic metabolism.Regulation of Bile Acid SynthesisBA are potent regulators of their own synthesis,serving to limit excessive accumulation of BA in the circulation via multiple redundant pathways.Feeding bile acids to rats strongly reduces CYP7A1 enzyme activity and bile acid synthesis[8,15].This self-regulation of BA synthesis involves activation of the nuclear receptor FXR(farnesoid X receptor,official gene name NR1H4)[16].FXR knockout mice have increased BA synthesis and Cyp7a1expression,verifying the central role for FXR in mediating bile acid inhibition of Cyp7a1[17].FXR has both direct effects on Cyp7a1expression as well as indirect effects,mediated by induction of small heterodimer partner(SHP)which in turn inhibits trans-activation of CYP7A1and CYP8B1by the transcription factors Hepatocyte Nuclear Factor4a(HNF4a) and liver-related homolog-1(LRH-1)at the bile acid response element.FXR also increases BA conju-gation and upregulates expression of several genes which promote bile acid efflux from hepatocytes into the bile.An additional feedback repression mechanism involves FXR regulation of several indi-vidualfibroblast growth factors(FGFs).For example,bile acid activation of FXR results in secretion of FGF-19from hepatocytes and enterocytes.In turn,FGF-19can bind tofibroblast growth factor receptor 4(FGFR4)receptors on hepatocytes,leading to suppression of CYP7A1expression and bile acid syn-thesis via a SHP-independent,but c-Jun N-terminal kinase(JNK)dependent mechanism[18].Consis-tent with this mechanism,FGFR4knockout mice have increased expression of CYP7A1,in parallel with increased fecal bile acids and bile acid pool size[19].Other nuclear receptors,such as the pregnane X receptor(PXR)[20]and vitamin D receptor(VDR)[21],can also regulate BA synthesis by suppressing CYP7A1.Moreover,activation of the nuclear receptor ROR a can modulate12a-hydroxylase(CYP8B1) expression[22,23].BA differ markedly in their potency to activate FXR.The hydrophobic bile acid CDCA is the most potent BA ligand of FXR,followed by lithocholic acid(LCA),deoxycholic acid(DCA),and CA;by contrast, the hydrophilic bile acids ursodeoxycholic acid(UDCA)and muricholic acid(MCA)do not activate FXR[24].BA are also regulated in response to other elements of systemic metabolism.Early studies showed that the bile acid pool size is increased in insulin-deficient diabetic rats,with a3-fold increase in the cholic acid pool[25].Conversely,insulin treatment reduces bile acid pool size,inhibits CYP7A1and CYP8B1activity,and alters bile acid composition[26].CYP7A1can also be regulated by steroid hor-mones,activated protein kinase C,and proinflammatory cytokines[8].Bile acids and regulation of systemic metabolismFXR and TGR5signalling mechanisms appear to dominate for BA effects on regulation of glucose, lipid,and energy metabolism[1,27e30].As noted above,BA are natural ligands for FXR a,a nuclearreceptor highly expressed in liver,intestine,kidney and adrenal glands [17,27].BAs can also activate TGR5,a membrane-bound G protein-coupled BA receptor.TGR5is expressed in many organs and tissues,with high expression in macrophages/monocytes,placenta,gallbladder,liver and intestine[31,32].BA stimulation of energy expenditure in brown adipose tissue (BAT)and skeletal muscle ap-pears to be mediated via TGR5[2].Bile acids and lipid metabolismBAs exert an important regulatory role in cholesterol and triglyceride (TG)metabolism.Increased bile acid synthesis increases utilization of cholesterol as substrate.Bile acid synthesis rates are correlated with serum triglyceride levels in hyperlipidemic patients [33].Bile acid sequestrants or other interruptions in enterohepatic circulation also increase both bile acid and VLDL triglyceride synthesis.Conversely,CDCA-mediated increases in the BA pool size leads to inhibition of BA synthesis and reduced serum triglycerides in hyperlipidemic patients [34].These effects of BA to modulate TG metabolism are likely mediated via several distinct mechanisms,predominantly BA activation of FXR [35,36].FXR alters the transcription of several genes involved in fatty acid and triglyceride synthesis and lipoprotein metabolism.In mice,administration of FXR ago-nists [GW4064,6a-ethyl-chenodeoxycholic acid]reduces plasma triglyceride and cholesterol levels[37e 41]via repression of the lipogenic genes sterol-regulatory-element-binding protein-1c (SREBP1c)and fatty acid synthase (FAS)in liver [36].FXR also induces expression of peroxisome proliferator activated receptor (PPAR)a ,a nuclear receptor that promotes lipid oxidation [42],and of pyruvate dehydrogenase kinase,isoenzyme 4(PDK4),leading to inhibition of pyruvate dehydrogenase and increased fatty acid oxidation [43].Additional FXR target genes include the apolipoproteins A-V,C-III,apoE,syndecan-1,and the VLDL receptor [1,44].Conversely,FXR-null mice have higher serum TG levels and increased synthesis of apolipoprotein (apo)B-containing lipoproteins [17].Thus,bile acids play central roles in lipid metabolism and in the control of TG levels,in part via FXR and downstream transcriptional targets.Additional effects of BA on lipid metabolism may be independent of FXR.For example,the bile acid tauroursodeoxycholic acid (TUDCA)also acts as a chaperone,modulating endoplasmic reticulum stress[45].TUDCA reduces adipogenesis in human adipocyte stem cells [46].Similarly,in another study,UDCA (but not TUDCA)profoundly inhibits adipogenesis,in parallel with activation of extracellular regulated protein kinases 1and 2(ERK 1/2)[47].Bile acids and glucose metabolismBile acids are also implicated in regulation of glucose metabolism [48e 50].Increasing hepatic bile acid synthesis can inhibit gluconeogenesis and stimulate glycolysis.Effects on glycogen metabolism appear complex [51].Some studies have shown bile acids stimulate glycogen phosphorylase (GP)and glycogen breakdown to glucose-1-P [52],while other data indicate bile acids also activate glycogen synthesis (GS)[53].Additional effects of BA on glucose metabolism and insulin action may also be mediated via reductions in endoplasmic reticulum (ER)stress,a key mediator of insulin resistance [45].In addition to direct effects,many of the bene ficial effects of BA on glucose metabolism are mediated via FXR.FXR is an important regulator of glucose metabolism,as demonstrated by reduced plasma glucose and reduced hepatic glycogen levels in FXR-null mice [49,50,54].Conversely,activation of FXR is associated with increased phosphoenolpyruvate carboxykinase (PEPCK)and glucose-6-phosphatase expression and glucose output from primary rat hepatocytes.However,in vivo pharmacologic stimulation of FXR in two mouse models of obesity and T2D (db/db or KKA(y)mice)causes inhibition of gluconeogenesis,hypoglycemia,and increased insulin sensitivity [49,50].Thus,FXR may have a dominant effect to inhibit gluconeogenesis in diabetes,perhaps via inhibition of PEPCK by SHP-dependent inhibition of HNF4a and FoxO1[55].Activation of FXR can also stimulate the insulin/Akt pathway,promoting glycogen synthesis in liver [55],GLUT2activation in pancreatic b -cells [56],and improving insulin resistance in obese ob/ob mice [57].In this context,inhibition of gluconeogenesis,improved insulin action,and stimulation of glycogen syn-thesis may synergize to improve plasma glucose,insulin secretion,insulin sensitivity,and glucoseH.Ma,M.E.Patti /Best Practice &Research Clinical Gastroenterology 28(2014)573e 583576H.Ma,M.E.Patti/Best Practice&Research Clinical Gastroenterology28(2014)573e583577 tolerance.In parallel,however,GW4064increases susceptibility to high fat diet-induced obesity and diabetes[50,58].These complex data highlight the importance of the specific context in which FXR is activated.Beneficial effects of BA on glucose metabolism may also be mediated via TGR5.TGR5is expressed in many organs and tissues,with highest expression in macrophages/monocytes,placenta,gallbladder, liver and intestine[32].Activation of TGR5in enterocytes can stimulate the secretion of the incretin hormone glucagon-like peptide GLP1,promoting glucose-dependent insulin secretion[59,60].More-over,BA stimulation of cell-surface TGR5on neurons may also modulate GLP-1secretion[61].In pe-ripheral tissues,TGR5activation may increase activation of the type2deiodinase,resulting in increased active thyroid hormone,mitochondrial oxidative capacity,and energy expenditure[2].A recent human genetic study demonstrates that a single nucleotide polymorphism(SNP)at the TGR5 locus(rs3731859)is associated with BMI,waist circumference,intramyocellular lipids,and fasting GLP-1levels[62].Furthermore,TGR5-null mice have a25%reduction in bile acid pool size,and female Tgr5 null mice show increased weight gain and fat accumulation when fed a high fat diet[63].Further support for the regulatory role of TGR5in glucose homeostasis comes from thefinding that TGR5 agonists decrease blood glucose in animals[64].Bile acids in humansIn healthy individuals,BA levelsfluctuate with cycles of fasting and refeeding.BA robustly increase in response to an oral glucose load[65].Such responses are increased in insulin sensitive individuals and are blunted in individuals with prediabetes[55],suggesting dysregulation of bile acid pools and/or intestinal regulation in insulin resistance.The majority of studies have analysed bile acid levels and species distribution in the fasting state; many of these demonstrate alterations in insulin resistance and diabetes.For example,one study demonstrated1.6-fold increases in deoxycholic acid(DCA)in T2D[66].Similarly,Haeusler et al. demonstrated that12a e hydroxylated species(sum of CA,DCA,and their conjugates)are significantly higher in patients with T2D[67].Furthermore,ratios of12-hydroxylated/non e12-hydroxylated BAs are associated with key features of IR,including higher insulin,glucose,and triglyceride(TG)levels and lower HDL cholesterol[67].Brufau and colleagues showed that individuals with T2D had higher cholic acid(CA)synthesis rates and enlarged DCA pool size[68].Our group recently reported that concen-trations of total taurine-conjugated BA were higher in T2D and intermediate in individuals with impaired glucose tolerance[69].Interestingly,total taurine-BA were positively associated with fasting and post-load glucose levels,fasting insulin,and HOMA-IR.However,insulin-mediated glycaemic improvement in T2D patients did not change fasting serum total BA,or BA composition,suggesting dysregulation of BA levels is not directly linked to glycaemic burden but possible due to other aspects of insulin resistance or the metabolic syndrome.Bile acids are increased following bariatric surgeryBariatric surgery is increasingly recognized as a robust method to not only reduce body weight,but also to reduce glycaemia and medication requirement(so called diabetes‘remission’)[70].Bariatric surgical procedures include Roux-en-Y gastric bypass(RYGB),vertical sleeve gastrectomy(VSG), laparoscopic adjustable gastric banding(LAGB)and biliopancreatic diversion(BPD).In this context,it is interesting that several studies have demonstrated that bile acids are markedly increased following bariatric surgery[5,6,71,72].Interestingly,total bile acids in post-bypass patients are correlated with improvement in several key metabolic parameters;bile acids are inversely correlated with post-prandial glucose,triglycerides,and positively correlated with adiponectin and peak GLP1levels following a mixed meal test.These intriguing data suggest increased serum bile acid levels could contribute to improvements in insulin sensitivity,incretin secretion,and postprandial glycaemia in response to bariatric surgery[6].Despite these intriguing data,it remains uncertain whether increased BA are absolutely essential for metabolic improvements following bariatric surgery,particularly during the early postoperative period.For example,longitudinal studies in humans demonstrate that increases in BA are not detecteduntil 1year postoperatively [73],despite improved glucose levels and reduced hepatic glucose output within one week of surgery [74,75].By contrast,increases in both fasting and postprandial BA are also observed as early as 14days following VSG in rodents [76,77].In addition,both RYGB and VSG can alter the distribution of bile acid species [8][78].By contrast,circulating BA do not change signi ficantly after LAGB [4,73,79],and could contribute to reduced ef ficacy of this procedure for long-term resolution of T2D as compared with RYGB or VSG.Importantly,increased BA action,via FXR-mediated effects on both gut microbiome and transcriptional pathways,appears to be required to achieve the metabolic effects of surgery,at least in rodent models [77].Intriguingly,direct modulation of small intestinal anatomy can alter bile acid levels and composi-tion.Mid-to-distal small intestinal resection,with preservation of the terminal ileum,increases bile acid levels [80].Similarly,interposition of the ileum into more proximal segments of gut also increases bile acid levels [81].Nonsurgical approaches may also be effective;for example,endoluminal sleeves,which allow luminal contents to bypass the duodenal mucosa,also increase bile acids in rodents and improve glucose metabolism [82].While there are many unanswered questions,these data suggest that modulation of segmental intestinal anatomy,and/or changes in intestinal flora which result from these modi fications,may improve systemic metabolism via BA-dependent mechanisms.Modulating bile acids as a potential therapeutic approach for obesity and T2DThe close links between plasma levels of bile acids and a host of key metabolic parameters raise the possibility that modulation of BA could be used as a therapeutic approach for the treatment of metabolic diseases.Dietary supplementation with cholic acid (CA)increases energy expenditure,reducing weight gain during high-fat feeding [83].While the precise mechanism remains uncertain,BA increase expression and activity of the type 2iodothyronine deiodinase (D2)via a TGR5-cAMP-mediated pathway,thus increasing active thyroid hormone (T3)availability and energy expenditure in tissues critical for thermogenesis,such as BAT [10].Similarly,CDCA has been shown to increase energy expenditure by induction of UCP1and activation of thermogenesis in BAT in mice [84].Bile acid sequestrants,which increase the CA pool size (while reducing CDCA and DCA pools),also reduce glucose,hemoglobin A1c,and cholesterol levels in patients with type 2diabetes [85e 87].Thus,therapeutic strategies which increase circulating BA levels or modulate relative distribution of active bile acid species could be an effective approach to improving systemic metabolism.Bile acid-binding resinsBile acid binding resins (BABR)(cholestyramine,colestipol,colestimide,and colesevelam)are positively charged nondigestible resins that bind to bile acids in the intestine to form an insoluble complex that is excreted in the feces.BABR have been successfully employed for the treatment of hypercholesterolaemia for many years.Recently,the second-generation BABR colestimide and cole-sevelam were found to improve glycaemic control in patients with T2D [86,88e 91].Several possible mechanisms have been proposed for these effects.BABR not only increase plasma BA but also change the composition of the BA pool [92].These changes in BA may promote increased energy expenditure,as observed in rodents [93].In addition,BABRs stimulate the expression of proglucagon and release of GLP1,thus improving incretin-mediated insulin secretion and reducing plasma glucose [94].This effect of colesevelam was achieved through regulation of FXR/FGF19and TGR5/GLP-1signalling pathways[89].Colestimide also decreases postprandial plasma glucose and increases GLP-1secretion in patients with T2D [85].Despite these intriguing possibilities,there is not a clear relationship between BA metabolism and improvements in glycaemia,and changes in FGF19or energy expenditure are not consistently observed in human studies [68,95].Nevertheless,BA sequestrants regulate glucose ho-meostasis,potentially at least in part by modulating FXR-and TGR5-mediated pathways.FXR agonistsSince FXR modulates many of the metabolic effects of bile acids,activation of FXR could be another approach to treat metabolic disease [96].Treatment with the FXR ligand GW4064signi ficantlyH.Ma,M.E.Patti /Best Practice &Research Clinical Gastroenterology 28(2014)573e 583578H.Ma,M.E.Patti/Best Practice&Research Clinical Gastroenterology28(2014)573e583579 decreases plasma glucose,triglycerides,and cholesterol in both wild-type and diabetic db/db mice [50].6-ECDCA,another FXR agonist,can decrease glucose,cholesterol,free fatty acid,and triglyceride levels in Zucker fa/fa rats[54]by enhancing glucose disposal,reducing body weight,in parallel with reduced expression of PEPCK and glucose-6-phosphates(G6Pase)in ob/ob mice.Interestingly,these effects of FXR agonists are achieved despite decreased bile acid levels,largely through direct activation of hepatic FXR-SHP and intestinal FXR-FGF15/19pathways[96].These data again highlight the importance of FXR pathways in mediating metabolic effects of BA.TGR5agonistsThe cell surface receptor TGR5represents another novel pharmacological target for the treat-ment of the metabolic syndrome and related disorders[97,98].TGR5can be activated by either synthetic ligands[10,80],or by BA in a dose-dependent manner,with potency of activation depending on specific BA species:lithocholic acid>deoxycholic acid>chenodeoxycholic acid >cholic acid.In rodents,synthetic TGR5agonists decrease plasma glucose and insulin levels and protect against weight gain induced by a high-fat diet[64].The expression and activity of the type2 deiodinase and energy expenditure can be increased with incubation of skeletal muscle with a synthetic TGR5agonist[10].Therapeutic modulation of BA via manipulation of the intestinal tract and its residentflora As noted above,bariatric surgery is associated with increased plasma BA levels and alterated composition of BA species.In turn,increased BA may contribute to enhanced FXR and TGR5acti-vation,leading to reduced hepatic glucose production,increased GLP1secretion,and increased systemic energy expenditure.In support of this concept,recent data implicate FXR activity as a critical mediator of the beneficial effects of bariatric surgery in rodents[85].Given the important role of the gut microbiome in modulating bile acid pool size,composition,and enterohepatic recirculation,it is intriguing to consider whether modification of the gut microbiome could pro-mote BA-mediated beneficial changes in metabolism.This could potentially be achieved by altered dietary fatty acid composition[99]or with probiotics which modulate gutflora[100,101].For example,one recent study demonstrated that probiotics could increase BA deconjugation,increase fecal BA excretion,and increase hepatic BA synthesis in an FGF-dependent mechanism[101].These intriguing data provide hope that BA action on the gut microbiome and systemic metabolism could be harnessed to yield beneficial effects similar to those observed after bariatric surgery,but in the absence of invasive surgery.This line of investigation will be an important question for future studies.SummaryTaken together,data from both humans and preclinical animal models demonstrate that BA are important signalling molecules which contribute to regulation of whole-body glucose and lipid metabolism and body weight.Such effects of BA are largely mediated by the nuclear receptor FXR and the G protein-coupled receptor TGR5.Future research employing proteomic,metabolomic,and lip-idomic approaches are likely to help in identifying bile acid-related biomarkers which may be useful for predicting and assessing response to BA-related therapy for human obesity and metabolic syn-drome.Moreover,novel approaches to altering biliaryflow and enterohepatic recirculation,plasma BA levels,composition of BA pools,and downstream effectors of BA signalling pathways should be pur-sued,as they may be effective strategies for the management of obesity,insulin resistance,type2 diabetes,and other components of the metabolic syndrome.Conflict of interestNone.AcknowledgementsThe authors gratefully acknowledge grant support from Hebei Health Department of Scienti fic Research Fund (to HM),P30DK036836DRC (Joslin Diabetes

A novel interpoly - electrolyte complex (IPEC) of chitosan with polycarbophil (PCC) was synthesized and characterized. Water poor soluble drugsHydrochlorothiazide and Ketoprofen were used in this study as model drugs.Polymers (including PCC, HPMC K100M and HPMC K100LV) based matrix tablets drug controlled release system were prepared using direct compression method.The results illustrate PCC based-matrix tablets offer a swelling controlled release system for water poor soluble drug and drug release mechanism from this matrix drug delivery system can be improved by addition of microcrystalline cellulose (Avicel).Analysis of the in vitro release kinetic parametersof the matrix tablets, PCC based matrix tablets exhibited similar or higher drug release exponent (n) and mean dissolution time (MDT) values compared to the HPMC based matrix tablets. It demonstrated that PCC polymer can be successfully used as a matrixcontrolled release system for the water poor soluble model drugs such as hydroxylpropylmethylcellulose (HPMC). 资料个人收集整理,勿做商业用途1 IntroductionOver the last three decades years, as the expense and complications involved in marketing new drug entities have increased, with concomitant recognition of the therapeutic advantages of controlled drug delivery, greater attention has been focused on the development of novel and controlled release drug delivery systemsto provide a long-term therapeutic of drugs at the site of action following a single dose (Mandal, 2000; Jantzen and Robinson, 2002). Many formulation techniques have been used tobuild t”he barrier into the peroral dosage form to provide slow release of the maintenance dose. These techniques include the use of coatings, embedding of the drug in a wax, polymeric or plastic matrix, microencapsulation, chemical bindingto ion-exchange resins and incorporation into an osmotic pump (Collett and Moreton, 2002:293). Among different technologies used in controlled drug delivery, polymeric matrix systems are the most majority because of the simplicity of formulation, ease of manufacturing, low cost and applicability to drugs with wide range of solubility (Colombo, et al., 2000; Jamzad and Fassihi, 2006). 资料个人收集整理,勿做商业用途Drugs release profiles from polymeric matrix system can influence by different factors, but the type, amount, and physicochemical properties of the polymers used play a primary role (Jamzad and Fassihi, 2006). Hydroxylpropyl-methylcellulose (HPMC) is the most important hydrophilic carrier material used for oral drug sustained delivery systems (Colombo, 1993; Siepmann and Peppas, 2001). BecauseHPMC is water soluble polymer, it is generally recognized that drug release fromHPMC matrices follows two mechanisms, drug diffusion through the swelling gellayer and release by matrix erosion of the swollen layer (Ford et al., 1987; Raoet al., 1990; Colombo, 1993; Tahara et al., 1995; Reynolds, Gehrke et al., 1998; Siepmann et al., 1999; Siepmann and Peppas, 2001). However, diffusion, swelling and erosion are most important rate-controlling mechanisms of commercial available controlled release products (Langer and Peppas, 1983), the major advantages of swelling/erosionHPMC based matrix drug delivery system are: (i) minimum the drug burst release; (ii) the different physicochemical drugs release rate approach a constant; (iii) the possibility to predict the effect of the device design parameters (e.g. shape, size and composition of HPMC-based matrix tablets) on the resulting drug release rate, thus facilitating the development of new pharmaceutical products (Colombo, 1993;Siepmann and Peppas, 2001资).料个人收集整理,勿做商业用途Interpolyelectrolyte complexes (IPEC) are formed as precipitates by two oppositely charged polyelectrolytes in an aqueous solution, have been reported as a new class of polymer carriers, which play an important role in creating new oral drug delivery systems (Peppas and Khare, 1993; Berger et al., 2004). A variety chemical structure and stoichiometry of both components in interpolyelectrolyte complexes depends onthe pH values of the media, ionic strength, concentration, mixing ratio, and temperature (Peppas, 1986; Dumitriu and Chornet, 1998; Berger et al., 2004;Moustafine et al., 2005a). Chitosan is a positively charged (amino groups) deacetylated derivative of the natural polysaccharide, chitin (Paul and Sharma, 2000).Chitosan has already been successfully used to form complexes with natural anionic polymers such as carboxymethylcellulose, alginic acid, dextran sulfate,carboxymethyl dextran, heparin, carrageenan,pectin methacrylic acid copolymers ? (Eudragit polymers) and xanthan (Dumitriu and Chornet, 1998, Berger et al., 2004,Sankalia et al., 2007, Margulis and Moustafine, 2006)资. 料个人收集整理,勿做商业用途In this study, a novel polymer - IPEC between chitosan and polycarbophil (PCC) was synthesized, characterized and used as direct compressedexcipients in the matrix tablet. Although it have been well known that various IPEC have been used as a polymer carriers in drug controlled release system (Peppas and Khare, 1993, Garcia and Ghaly, 1996, Lorenzo-Lamoza et al., 1998, Soppirnath and Aminabhavi, 2002,Chen et al., 2004, Nam et al., 2004, Moustafine et al., 2005b), IPEC chitosan and polycarbophil was used as a polymer carriers have been investigated by Lu et al., (2006, 2007a, 2007 b, 2008a; 2008b资料个人收集整理,勿做商业用途The aim of this study was to comparein vitro water poor soluble drugs release profile of HPMC based matrices system to PCC based matrices system at same formulation.Water poor soluble model drugs Hydrochlorothiazide and ketoprofen were used in thisstudy.

Hardness of the matrix tablets shows a range from 68 ±14 to 94 ±12N.The tablets also pasted the friability test (<1%), confirm that all formulations tablets are within USP (2006) limits.

Fig.3 and Fig.4 illustrate the water uptake profiles and Fig.5, Fig.6 illustrate percentage of matrix erosion of all formulation tablets, respectively. Swelling properties of the all formulation matrix tablets based on the content of PCC, HPMC K100M and HPMC K100LV in the matrices tablets. Water uptake and percentage of matrix erosion values of these matrix tablets show superior swelling characteristics either HPMC K100LV based matrix tablets, or PCC based matrix tablets. 资料个人收集整理,勿做商业用途IPEC betwee n chitosa n and po lycarb op hil is a three -dime nsional n etworks water insoluble poly (acrylic acid) polymer with free hydroxy groups. Hydroxy groups ofPCC contribute hydrophilic capacity significantly and polymer erosion characteristics depend on the reaction ratio of chitosan and polycarbophil while polymer synthesis.While the PCC based matrixes were put into the buffer solution, the electrostatic repulsion between fixed charges (hydroxy groups) uncoiled the polymers chains.The counterion diffusion inside the PCC gel creates an additional osmotic pressure difference across the gel, consequently lead to higher water uptake (Peppas and Khare, 1993; Lu, et al., 2007b). During the matrix erosion, the ionic bonds between chitosan and polycarbophil were not broken by the matrix swelling. PCC based matrix tablets (F1 and F7 formulation) have superior swelling behaviors compare to the HPMC based matrices. Swelling index values of F1 and F7 formulation matrix tablets are 1599.62±216.68 % and 1579.82 ±118.05 % at 12 hours, respectively.Furthermore, addition of microcrystalline cellulose (Avicel) can increase matrices erosion significantly. Compare the erosion behaviors of F1, F7 and F2, F8formulation (containing 20% Avicel), F1 and F7 matrix tablets erode 5.74 1.62 % and 6.59 1±.18 % on 12 hours only, cont rary F2 and F8 matrix tablets erode 55.59 1.43 and 100 % respectively. Microcrystalline cellulose (Avicel) is widely used in pharmaceutical, primarily as a binder/diluent, also has some disintegrant properties on oral tablet and capsule formulations where it is used in both wet granulation and direct-compression process (Wheatley, 2000). In this study, matrix erosion behaviours were act by microcrystalline cellulose facilitating the transport of liquid into the pore of matrix tablets. It demonstrates that PCC polymer have capacity to form swelli ng only or swelli ng-erosi on matrix drug delivery system.资料个人收集整理,勿做商业用途It also was confirmed that PCC based matrix tablets have much better swelling behaviors than HPMC based matrix tablets by comparing swelling curves in Fig.3 andFig.4. Swelling index values of F1 and F7 formulation matrix tablets are 1599.62216.68 % and 1579.82 11±8.05 % at 12 hours, contrary F3 and F9 matrix tablets are545.96 ±4.32% and 547.72 2±6.27%. HPMC K100LV based matrix tablets have excellence erosion curves in this study, F5, F6, F11 and F12 formulation matrixtablets eroded 100% on 12 hours, but F2 and F8 (PCC based tablets) formulation matrix tablets can eroded 55.59 ±1.43 and 100 % with microcrystalline cellulosefacilitating. 资料个人收集整理,勿做商业用途3.4Drug releaseIn vitro drug release was performed in pH 7.4 phosphate buffer solution for 12 hours.Results of percentage drug release versus time for hydrochlorothiazide and ketoprofen in different formulations matrices tablets are presented in Fig.7 and Fig. 8, while theMDT and drug release kinetics values were present in Table 3资.料个人收集整理,勿做商业用In this study, water poor soluble model drugs hydrochlorothiazide and ketoprofen release from polymers based matrix tablets was controlled by the polymer matrices swelling or swelling combination with erosion. Percentage of drug release, matrix swelling and erosion of F7 were summarised in Fig 9. The percentageketoprofen release curve follows the percentagematrix tablets swelling curve, it demonstrates that PCC based matrix drug delivery system is the swelling dependent drug release system for water poor soluble model drugs. Same as F7 matrix tablets, F1 matrix tablets is also a swelling only drug delivery system, in these matrix systems drugs release behaviour primarily depend on the matrix swelling characteristics. Because as the superior swelling capacity of PCC based matrix tablets, liquid environments inside of the matrix provide that the model drugs release are zero order drug release.As described in Table 3, release exponentsn)( of F1 and F7 are 0.83 0.03 a±nd 0.99 ± 0.02 during the experimental time, respectively. 资料个人收集整理,勿做商业用途Addition of microcrystalline cellulose (Avicel) influence the model drugs release profiles from PCC based matrix tablets significantly. Cumulative drug release of F2 and F8 formulation tablets is 93.7 4.13 % a±nd 99.6 4.2±5% at 12 hours, relativelyF1 and F7 formulation tablets is 73.8 1.13 % an±d 47.2 4.5±3 % only. This can be explained by drugs release mechanism were swelling and erosion instead of swelling only, consequently accelerate the drugs release. The adjustable capacity of PCC based matrix drug delivery system by addition of microcrystalline cellulose (Avicel) dem on strates the poten tial useful of PCC poly mer in drug con trolled release field 资料个人收集整理,勿做商业用途Compare to the PCC based matrix tablets, the drugs release profiles of HPMC based matrix tablets were adjusted difficultly. The relatives f1 and f2 values of difference polymers including PCC, HPMC 100M, HPMC 100LV based matrix tablets containing hydrochlorothiazide under same formulation were show in Table 4. As describedf1 and f2 values in Table 4, F3 and F4, F5 and F6 formulation tablets have similar drug release behaviours, but F1 and F2 formulation tablets illustrate different drug release behaviours. This phenomenacan be explained by the superior water uptake capacity of PCC polymer, more water containing can easier broken the physical tensility between the polymer particles. 资料个人收集整理,勿做商业用途However, HPMC 100LV polymer has excellence erosion characteristics, in this study model drugs release from HPMC 100LV based matrix tablets illustrate matrix erosion dependent properties. In generally, drug release from swelling and erosion matrix system shows zero order release pare the drug release exponentsn(), release constant (k1), and mean dissolution time (MDT) of F2 to F5, F6, they have not significantly different as described in Tablet 3, furthermore the relatives f1 and f2 values between F2 and F5, F6 in Table 4 show they are similar release profiles. It imply PCC based matrix tablets can become a swelling and erosion drug delivery system by the addition of microcrystalline cellulose (Avicel), this drug delivery system illustrate similar drug release p rofiles as HPMC 100LV based matrix tablets资料个人收集整理,勿做商业用途Although it is very complex process that the model drugs release from swelling and。

方法:结合国际国内HCG检测现状,对有关HCG检测的影响因素及国际标准物质方面的问题进行综述。
结果:HCG分子及其裂解产物种类繁多,抗原性相似又不完全相同,不同厂家试剂使用的抗体组合不同,对HCG类分子的识别不同。
一些试剂的标签不正确或不清楚,一些实验人员对HCG检验的分子种类不清楚,国内HCG收费项目不全,是导致有意无意错报检验项目的原因。
目前发布的HCG 国际标准物质含有杂质,并且对于无活性的α亚基和β亚基赋值错误。
这些都给HCG检测结果的实验室间互相认可带来困难。
结论:HCG检测的溯源及检验结果的实验室间互相认可尚存在许多问题。
要解决这些问题,需要新的、以摩尔浓度赋值的HCG国际标准的发布,各试剂厂商以新的国际标准物质作为抗原来制备抗体,并用新的抗体制备的HCG检测试剂溯源到新的国际标准。
另外,还要进一步普及有关HCG类分子及其裂解产物的知识宣传。

Characterization of acid-soluble collagen from the skinof walleye pollock (Theragra chalcogramma )Mingyan Yan,Bafang Li *,Xue Zhao,Guoyan Ren,Yongliang Zhuang,Hu Hou,Xiukun Zhang,Li Chen,Yan FanCollege of Food Science and Technology,Ocean University of China,No.5,Yushan Road,Qingdao,Shandong Province 266003,PR ChinaReceived 10July 2007;received in revised form 14September 2007;accepted 4October 2007AbstractAcid-soluble collagen (ASC)was extracted from the skin of walleye pollock (Theragra chalcogramma )and partially characterized.It exhibited a maximum absorbance at 220nm,but little absorbance near to 280nm.Amino acid composition and SDS-PAGE suggested that the collagen might be classified as type I collagen.Moreover,FTIR investigations showed the existence of helical arrangements of collagen.The denaturation temperature (T d )and shrinkage temperature (T s )were 24.6°C and 47°C,respectively,both lower than those of mammalian collagens.However,T d of walleye pollock skin collagen was higher than that of cod skin collagen reported previously.These results indicate that walleye pollock skin is a potential source of collagen and provide the theoretical basis for further research.Ó2007Elsevier Ltd.All rights reserved.Keywords:Characterization;Collagen;Thermal stability;Walleye pollock1.IntroductionCollagen is an abundant protein in animal tissues and constitutes approximately 30%of total animal protein (Muyonga,Cole,&Duodu,2004).It is widely distributed in skin,bones,cartilage,tendons,ligaments,blood vessels,teeth,cornea and all other organs of vertebrates (Sena-ratne,Park,&Kim,2006).Collagen has a wide range of applications in leather and film industries,pharmaceutical,cosmetic and biomedical materials,and food (Kittiphattan-abawon,Benjakul,Visessanguan,Nagai,&Tanaka,2005).The highest utilization of collagen is in pharmaceutical applications including production of wound dressings,vit-reous implants and as carriers for drug delivery.Moreover,collagen is used for the production of cosmetics because it has a good moisturizing property (Swatschek,Schatton,Kellermann,Muller,&Kreuter,2002).In addition,colla-gen has been utilized to produce edible casings,which areneeded in the meat processing industries (sausages/sal-ami/snack sticks),and heat-denatured collagen,called gel-atin,is important in food manufacturing (Senaratne et al.,2006).For industrial purposes,the main sources of collagen are limited to those of land-based animals,such as bovine or porcine skin and bone.However,the outbreak of bovine spongiform encephalopathy (BSE),transmissible spongi-form encephalopathy (TSE)and the foot-and-mouth dis-ease (FMD)crisis have resulted in anxiety among users of collagen and collagen-derived products of land animal origin (Jongjareonrak,Benjakul,Visessanguan,Nagai,&Tanaka,2005).In addition,the collagen extracted from porcine sources cannot be used as a component of some foods,due to religious barriers.Therefore,alternative sources of collagen should be sought.Scientists have found that skin,bone,scale,fin and cartilage of freshwater and marine fish,scallop mantle (Shen,Kurihara,&Takahashi,2007),adductor of pearl oyster (Mizuta,Miyagi,Nish-imiya,&Yoshinaka,2002)and the muscle layer of the ascidian (Mizuta,Isobe,&Yoshinaka,2002)can be used as new sources of collagen.0308-8146/$-see front matter Ó2007Elsevier Ltd.All rights reserved.doi:10.1016/j.foodchem.2007.10.027*Corresponding author.Tel.:+8653282031662.E-mail address:mingyan012003@ (B.Li)./locate/foodchemAvailable online at Food Chemistry 107(2008)1581–1586Food ChemistryPollock is one of the commercially importantfish species in China.Approximately400–500thousand of tons pollock were processed annually,mainly in Shandong Province. Seafood processors generate more than30thousand of tonsfish skins through their processing of pollock for food service per year(data were provided by Bureau of Fisher-ies,Ministry of Agriculture,People’s Republic of China). The skin is dumped without utilization,which would cause environmental pollution and resources waste.However, 70%of the pollock skin dry matter is collagen(Zhang, Luo,Zhang,Song,&Jiang,2003).For making effective use of the dumped skin as a collagen resource,it is neces-sary to obtain fundamental information about the pollock skin collagen.Therefore,the present paper describes the isolation and physicochemical properties of the collagen from walleye pollock skin.2.Materials and methods2.1.Fish skin preparationWalleye pollock(Theragra chalcogramma)were caught from the Bering Sea by commercialfishing boat in August, 2006,stored atÀ18°C,immediately after gutting,and transported to the dock in Qingdao.After arrival at a local fish processing factory,frozenfish were thawed using run-ning water,and skins were removed and descaled manu-ally.These skins were transported to the laboratory and stored atÀ20°C until used.All other reagents used were of analytical grade.2.2.Extraction of collagenAll procedures were performed at4°C,as previously described(Nagai&Suzuki,2000)with a slight modification. The skin was extracted with0.1M NaOH to remove non-collagenous materials effectively and to exclude the effect of endogenous proteases on collagen(Sato,Yoshinaka, Sato,&Shimizu,1987),then thoroughly rinsed with distilled water until a neutral pH was reached.Minced skins were slowly stirred with0.5M acetic acid solution for48h,and the extract was centrifuged at10,000g for30min.Then the acid-soluble collagen(ASC)in the supernatant was salted out by adding NaCl to afinal concentration of0.9M.The solution was left overnight,and the resultant precipitate, collected by centrifugation at8000g for20min,was dis-solved in0.5M acetic acid,dialyzed against0.1M acetic acid for1d(1:15,v/v,changed every4h),distilled water for2d(1:15,v/v,changed every4h),and then lyophilized.2.3.UV–vis spectraA collagen sample was dissolved in0.5M acetic acid to obtain a concentration of2g lÀ1.The UV–vis adsorption spectra were recorded by a Shimadzu spectrophotometer UV-2550(Shimadzu,Tokyo,Japan)from190to400nm at a scanning rate of210nm min-1.2.4.Amino acid compositionASC samples were hydrolyzed under reduced pressure with6M HCl at110°C for24h,and the hydrolysates were analyzed on a Hitachi835-50amino acid analyzer(Hitachi, Tokyo,Japan).2.5.Sodium dodecyl sulphate polyacylamide-gel electrophoresis(SDS-PAGE)SDS-PAGE was performed by the method of Laemmli (1970),using the discontinuous tris-HCl/glycine buffer sys-tem with7.5%resolving gel and5%stacking gel.Proteins were stained with0.1%(w/v)Coomassie Brilliant Blue R-250dissolved in water,methanol and acetic acid(9:9:2, v/v/v)for20min,then destained using a solution contain-ing water,methanol and acetic acid(8:1:1,v/v/v).2.6.Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy(FTIR)FTIR spectra were obtained from discs containing 0.2mg lyophilized collagen and about10mg potassium bromide(KBr)ground together under dry conditions. The spectra were recorded using infrared spectrophotome-ter(Nicolet200SXV)from4000to500cmÀ1at a data acquisition rate of2cmÀ1per point.The resulting spectra were analyzed using Omnic6.0software(Thermo-Nicolet, Madison,Wisconsin).2.7.Determination of denaturation temperatureThe denaturation temperature was measured from the viscosity changes,using an Ubbelohde viscometer,accord-ing to the method of Zhang et al.(2007)with some modi-fication.Ten millilitres of0.03%collagen solution in0.1M acetic acid+0.2M sodium acetate buffer(pH5.0)were used for viscosity measurements.The thermal determina-tion curve was obtained by measuring solution viscosity at several temperatures from16to42°C,and the temper-ature was raised stepwise and maintained for30min.Frac-tional viscosity at the given temperature was calculated by the equation:Fractional viscosity¼ðg spðTÞÀg spð42 CÞÞ=ðg spð16 CÞÀg spð42 CÞÞ;where g sp is the specific viscosity.These fractional viscosi-ties were plotted against the temperatures and the denatur-ation temperature was taken to be the temperature where fractional viscosity was0.5.2.8.Differential scanning calorimetryDifferential scanning calorimetry(DSC)was performed on a Netzsch DSC200PC(Netzsch,Bavaria,Germany) instrumentfitted with an air cooling compressor and a liquid nitrogen cooler at ambient temperature(Cui et al.,1582M.Yan et al./Food Chemistry107(2008)1581–15862007).The temperature was effectively calibrated using indium as standard.Collagen fibre was weighed (3mg)accurately and sealed in aluminium pans (BO 6.239.2–64.502).At least triplicate samples were heated from 20to 100°C at a scanning rate of 2K min -1,with an empty sealed pan as a reference.The shrinkage temperature was measured at the top of the transition peak.3.Results and discussion 3.1.UV–vis spectraAs can be seen from the UV–vis spectra (Fig.1),the dis-tinct absorbance of the collagen was obtained near 220nm,which is contributed by n ?p *transition of C @O in the peptide bond.Generally,tyrosine and phenylalanine are sensitive chromophores and absorb UV light at 283nm and 251nm (Liu &Liu,2006),where ASC has no evident absorbance.Therefore,acid-soluble collagen from walleye pollock skin well supports the property of collagen that there is absorbance at 220–230nm,with little or no absor-bance near 280nm.Thus the protein is collagen.3.2.Amino acid compositionThe amino acid composition of the acid-soluble collagen from walleye pollock skin is shown in Table 1.Glycine was the major amino acid although it was only 19.7%,signifi-cantly lower than that of brown backed toadfish (Sena-ratne et al.,2006),but similar to that of Nile perch (Muyonga et al.,2004)and channel catfish (Liu,Li,&Guo,2007).The reason that the glycine content was lower may be related to contamination by other proteins.The collagen was found to be very low in tyrosine,histidine and isoleucine,and no cystine was detected.It also con-sisted of imino acids (proline +hydroxyproline),which were unique amino acids found in collagen.The imino acid content was 18.4%,similar to the 18.6%of grass carp col-lagen (Zhang et al.,2007),but lower than the 22%of por-cine skin collagen (Ikoma,Kobayashi,Tanaka,Walsh,&Mann,2003).Hydroxyproline is derived from proline by post-translational hydroxylation mediated by prolylhy-droxylase (Li,Liu,Gao,&Chen,2004).The degree of hydroxylation of proline residues in collagen from walleye pollock skin was 37.5%,similar to the 39%of ocellate puf-fer fish (Nagai,Araki,&Suzuki,2002),but lower than the 43%of channel catfish (Liu et al.,2007)and 48%of cuttle-fish (Nagai,Yamashita,Taniguchi,Kanamori,&Suzuki,2001).The distribution patterns of amino acid composi-tion,similar to that of acid-soluble collagen from the skin of channel catfish (Liu et al.,2007),indicate that ASC might be classified as type I collagen.3.3.SDS-PAGEThe acid-soluble collagen from walleye pollock skin was examined by SDS-PAGE,using a 7.5%resolving gel (Fig.2).This collagen consisted of a chains (a 1and a 2chain),which showed two distinct species varying in their mobility,and their dimer (b chain),and small amounts of c components were also found.The existence of at least two different subunits shows that a major collagen from walleye pollock skin might be type I collagen.There was no clear difference between the electrophoretic patterns,with or without b -mercaptoethanol,suggesting absence of disulphide bonds.This is consistent with the observation that the collagen was almost devoid of sulphur-containing amino acids (Muyonga et al.,2004).From the electropho-retic patterns of collagen,we could not determine whether the collagen contained an a 3chain or not.If present,the a 3chain could not be separated under the conditionemployedFig.1.UV–vis spectra of acid-soluble collagen from walleye pollock skin.Table 1Amino acid composition of

electrophoretically to the same posi-tion as a 1(I)(Kimura,1992).3.4.Fourier transform infrared spectroscopyFig.3shows the FTIR spectra of the acid-soluble colla-gen from walleye pollock skin,similar to that exhibited by other collagens (Muyonga et al.,2004;Liu et al.,2007).The amide A band is associated with the N–H stretching frequency.A free N–H stretching vibration occurs in the range of 3400–3440cm À1,and when the NH group of apeptide is involved in a hydrogen bond,the position is shifted to lower frequency,usually near 3300cm À1(Li et al.,2004).The amide A band of walleye pollock skin col-lagen was found at 3328cm À1,which shows that there were NH groups involved in hydrogen bonds.The amide B band of collagen was found at 3080cm À1,which is related to asymmetrical stretch of CH 2(Muyonga et al.,2004).The amide I band position was observed at 1648cm À1,which is the absorption band of C @O stretching.It is asso-ciated with the secondary structure of the protein.The absorption between the 1236cm À1(amide III)and 1452cm À1bands demonstrated the existence of helical structure (Liu et al.,2007).Therefore,the FTIR investiga-tions show the existence of helical arrangements of walleye pollock skin collagen.3.5.Thermal stabilityThermal stability of collagen is usually described by the denaturation temperature (T d )in solution and the shrink-age temperature (T s )of fibre.The temperature at which the triple helix structure of collagen in solution is disinte-grated into random coils is taken as T d (Hao &Li,1999).Fig.4shows the thermal denaturation curve of acid-soluble collagen from walleye pollock skin.T d of collagen was 24.6°C,lower by about 12°C than that of collagen from porcine skin (Nagai et al.,1999).The shrinkage tempera-ture refers to the temperature at which fibre shrinks to one third of its length (Fathima,Madhan,Rao,Nair,&Ramasami,2004).In the shrinkage process,a phase transi-tion involving the conversion of a crystalline triple helical collagen structure to an amorphous random coil form (Fat-hima,Balaraman,Rao,&Nair,2003)occurs.T s of colla-gen from walleye pollock skin was 47°C (Fig.5),lower by about 15°C than that of type I collagen from bovine skin (Cui et al.,2007).These results proved that thehelicesFig.2.SDS-PAGE patterns of acid-soluble collagen from walleye pollock skin on 7.5%ne 1:ASC (the sample solution without b -mercaptoethanol);lane 2:ASC (the sample solution with b -mercap-toethanol);lane 3:proteinmarkers.Fig.3.Fourier transform infrared spectra of acid-soluble collagen from walleye pollock skin.1584M.Yan et al./Food Chemistry 107(2008)1581–1586of collagen from walleye pollock skin were less stable than those of mammalian collagens.We also found that the DSC thermogram was broader,which reveals smaller cooperatives among the participating subunits(Usha& Ramasami,2004).There were still two small peaks within the temperature range20–35°C.The former could be observed in the DSC thermogram of collagen from calf and sea cucumber(Stichopus japonicus)(Cui et al.,2007). The latter is a pre-denaturational transition,which has been recorded in previous studies,but its nature has not been ultimately identified(Komsa-Penkova,Koynova, Kostov,&Tenchov,1996).Some studies ascribe it to shortened or nicked collagen fragments(Condell,Sakai, Mercado,&Larenas,1988)or protein oxidation(Komsa-Penkova et al.,1996).The difference between T s and T d of walleye pollock skin collagen was about22°C,which is obviously consistent with the conclusion that the differ-ence between T s and T d of marine collagen is not influenced by species,about(20–25)°C(Hao&Li,1999).The thermal stability is influenced by the imino acid con-tent.The higher the imino acid content,the more stable are the helices,because the molecular structure of collagen is maintained mainly by restrictions on changes in the sec-ondary structure of the polypeptide chain,imposed by the pyrrolidine rings of proline and hydroxyproline,and also partially maintained by the hydrogen bond ability through the hydroxy group of hydroxyproline(Zhang et al.,2007).Therefore,porcine and bovine skin collagens, having higher imino acid contents(220and215residues per1000residues,respectively)(Ikoma et al.,2003;Cui et al.,2007)than walleye pollock skin collagen(184resi-dues per1000residues),denature at higher temperatures. It is known that the stability of collagen is also correlated with environmental and body temperature.Bigeye snapper and Brownstripe red snapper are tropicalfish,so the colla-gens are more stable(Kittiphattanabawon et al.,2005; Jongjareonrak et al.,2005).T d of walleye pollock skin col-lagen in this study was higher than that of cod skin colla-gen,determined by Rigby(1968),probably due to the environmental and body temperature.4.ConclusionASC extracted from walleye pollock skin was classified as type I collagen.It has a distinct amino acid composition and thermal stability,different from those of bovine or por-cine skin collagens.FTIR investigations show the existence of helical arrangements of collagen.Thus,walleye pollock skin is a good source of collagen.This study provides a the-oretical basis for collagen modification and utilization.AcknowledgementThis work was supported by the High Technology Re-search and Development Programme of China(No. 2006AA09Z438).Fig.5.Thermal transition curve of acid-soluble collagen from walleye pollock skin,as shown by DSC.M.Yan et al./Food Chemistry107(2008)1581–15861585ReferencesCondell,R.

The number of patients is increasing year by year, and the economic cost of nursing is high, which poses a major challenge to the global economy. In recent years, studies have shown that probiotics, as microorganisms beneficial to the health of the host, have a positive impact on the prevention and treatment of Alzheimer’s disease. Its mechanism may be through regulating intestinal flora, affecting the nervous immune system, regulating the neuroactive substances and metabolites, and affecting the occurrence and development of the disease through thegut- brain axis. This paper reviews the progress of probiotics on Alzheimer’s disease at home and abroad in recent years, as well as its potential mechanism of prevention and treatment.Key words:probiotics; Alzheimer’s disease; gut microbiota; mechanism阿尔茨海默病(Alzheimer’s disease, AD),系中枢神经系统退行性疾病,属于老年期痴呆常见类型,临床特征主要包括:记忆力减退、认知功能障碍、行为改变、焦虑和抑郁等。

不同脑小血管病负荷评分与伴无症状腔隙的脑小血管病患者认知功能的关系杜晓光,魏荣,刘琦慧,于力群,周丽摘要:目的 探讨不同脑小血管病(CSVD)负荷评分与伴无症状腔隙的CSVD患者认知功能的关系。
方法 纳入2021年7月—2023年10月就诊于潍坊市人民医院神经内科的128例伴无症状腔隙的CSVD患者,运用蒙特利尔量表(MoCA)、CSVD总负荷评分和改良负荷评分统计受试者的认知功能和CSVD负荷,分为认知障碍组(MoCA<26分)和无认知障碍组(MoCA≥26分),比较两组患者的人口社会学信息、血管病危险因素及CSVD负荷评分的差异。
采用线性回归分析MoCA评分与两种CSVD负荷评分的关系,采用趋势检验分析伴无症状腔隙的CSVD 患者认知障碍的发病趋势。
结果 研究共纳入伴无症状性腔隙的CSVD患者128例,其中认知障碍组68例(53.1%),无认知障碍组60例(46.9%),两组患者人口社会学信息及血管病危险因素差异无统计学意义(P>0.05)。
两组患者的CSVD总负荷评分和改良负荷评分比较均存在统计学差异(P<0.05)。
Spearman秩相关分析显示,CSVD 总负荷评分和改良负荷评分均与MoCA评分呈负相关(P<0.001)。
线性趋势χ2检验分析显示,伴无症状腔隙的CSVD患者认知障碍发病风险随CSVD改良负荷评分增加而增加(P trend<0.05),该发病风险与CSVD总负荷评分间趋势分析无统计学意义(P trend=0.069)。
结论 CSVD总负荷评分和改良负荷评分均可用于筛检伴无症状腔隙的CSVD认知障碍患者。
改良负荷评分可能在识别认知障碍高风险患者方面更具优势。

All the patients were scored using the Montreal Cognitive Assessment (MoCA) for cognitive function and using the total CSVD score and the modified CSVD score for CSVD burden. They were divided into cognitive impairment group (MoCA score<26)and non-cognitive impairment group (MoCA score≥26).The demographic information,vascular disease risk factors, and the CSVD scores of the two groups were compared. A linear regression analysis was performed to as⁃sess the relationship between the MoCA score and the two CSVD scores. A trend analysis was conducted to analyze the trend of incidence of cognitive impairment in patients with CSVD with asymptomatic lacunes.Results Among the 128 patients with CSVD with asymptomatic lacunes, 68 (53.1%) were in the cognitive impairment group and 60 (46.9%) were in the non-cognitive impairment group. There were no significant differences in the demographic information and vascular disease risk factors between the two groups (P>0.05). The total CSVD score and the modified CSVD score differed significantly be⁃tween the two groups (P<0.05). The Spearman correlation analysis showed that the total and modified CSVD scores were sig⁃nificantly negatively correlated with the MoCA score (P<0.001). The chi-square test for linear trend revealed that the cogni⁃tive impairment risk increased significantly with the modified CSVD score in patients with CSVD with asymptomatic lacunes (P trend<0.05), but with no significance for the total CSVD score (P trend=0.069).Conclusion Both the total and modified CSVD scores are useful tools to detect cognitive impairment in patients with CSVD with asymptomatic lacunes, and the modi⁃fied CSVD score may be superior in identifying patients at high risk of cognitive impairment.Key words:Cerebral small vessel disease;Cognition;Lacune脑小血管病(cerebral small vessel disease,CSVD)是血管性认知障碍的主要原因[1]。

r0和ri分别为胶囊球体的内外半径;klα为氧气由气相进人液相的物质传递系数;ksα为由液相到固相物质传递系数; DO2,m为微胶囊膜中氧气的扩散系数; C*为平衡状态下气相氧气浓度;Ci,m,i微胶囊膜内表面氧气浓度;为单个微胶囊中细胞的氧气消耗速度;QO2为单个细胞的氧气消耗速度; x为细胞密度.对于微囊化细胞培养来说,只有当氧气由气相进入微囊膜内的传递速度OTRG大于或等于胶囊内细胞生长速度时,才能保证其正常的存活和增殖.3 影响海藻酸盐基微囊膜物质传递性能的因素3.1 材料物性参数对微囊膜传质性能的影响刘博等[23]在固定化酶的研究发现,海藻酸钠浓度越大,形成凝胶的孔径越小,扩散阻力越大,制约微囊膜内脂肪酶与微囊膜外底物的结合;而海藻酸钠的浓度过低,会导致凝胶孔径增大,酶易流失.聚阳离子通过控制成膜反应影响微囊膜的传质性能.研究发现,壳聚糖浓度越高,在浓度差的推动下,其扩散进入海藻酸钙凝胶珠内部越深,形成的微囊膜越厚;同时会增加溶液中的位点,使溶液中与海藻酸钙凝胶分子中—COO-结合的概率增大,形成的微囊膜更致密,传质阻力增大.姜恒丽等[24]、徐旻等[25]也得出与此相一致的结论.Yu等[26]研究表明,壳聚糖分子量越小,分子链段越短,空间位阻越小,越容易扩散到海藻酸钙凝胶网络结构较深区域,但短分子链不能有效拉动相邻海藻酸钠分子链形成致密交联,形成的微囊膜厚而疏松;相反,大分子量壳聚糖形成的微囊膜薄而致密.此外,壳聚糖的脱乙酰度也会影响微囊膜的传质性能[27],即随着壳聚糖脱乙酰度的提高,微囊膜更致密,传质性能降低.3.2 pH值对微囊膜传质性能的影响海藻酸钠具有pH响应性,对海藻酸盐基微囊膜的传质性能产生影响.通常在酸性介质中,海藻酸盐基微胶囊收缩,而在中性或碱性介质中微胶囊膨胀.这一性能正好符合口服肠道生化微反应器作为基因工程药物生产与释放系统的功能要求,即微胶囊在胃内酸性环境收缩使膜致密,以保护囊内包埋物质免受胃酸及酶的破坏,而微胶囊在肠道近中性环境中膨胀而使膜疏松,以利于包埋物(如益生菌、大分子蛋白类药物等)释放.王慧萍等[28]、冯志云等[29]、唐文等[30]以及张守庆等[31]的研究均得到一致的结论.He等[32]利用精蛋白吸附和仿生硅化的方式制备出海藻酸钙/精蛋白/二氧化硅杂化微胶囊(APSi),并研究了亚甲基蓝、VB 12、4 000和10 000的葡聚糖这4种不同切割分子量物质在该微囊膜上的扩散性能.当分子大小与微囊膜孔径尺寸相匹配(如VB 12和4 000的FITC-葡聚糖)时,APSi杂化微囊膜会表现出明显的pH 响应控释特性.即当pH>4.5时,海藻酸钙凝胶网络带负电,此时带正电的精蛋白分子由于静电作用被吸附到海藻酸钙凝胶网络上,海藻酸钙凝胶网络结构的扩散通道处于“开”状态;当pH<4.5时,海藻酸钙凝胶网络呈电中性,带正电的精蛋白分子相互排斥地分布于凝胶网络的扩散通道内,因而扩散通道处于"关"的状态.这种pH响应性能在肠靶向智能药物载体方面极具应用广阔的前景[33].3.3 凝胶浴离子强度对微囊膜传质性能的影响徐旻等[25]研究表明,交联剂Ca+的浓度会影响海藻酸盐微囊膜的渗透性能,Ca+浓度越高,海藻酸钙网络结构越紧密,微囊膜的通透性越低,但是当Ca+浓度过高时,形成的凝胶网络尺寸减小,与之成膜的聚阳离子分子进入凝胶的深度浅,且大量海藻酸根链段上的羧基与Ca+结合,使得与聚阳离子结合的羧基数量明显减少,因此形成的膜薄而松散,微囊膜的通透性反而增大.在实验中还发现,在凝胶浴中,引入反凝胶离子如Na+,能显著提高微囊膜的通透性.3.4 其他因素对微囊膜扩散性能的影响除了以上几种因素外,模型物质本身的性质会影响海藻酸盐微囊膜的扩散性能.刘映薇等[19]发现罗丹明异硫氰酸酯(RBITC)标记的胰蛋白酶、卵清白蛋白、溶菌酶等几乎都能够扩散进入微囊膜,但BSA却有部分被微囊膜截留,原因是其回转半径较大.微胶囊粒径大小会影响传质表面积和物质传递距离,因此会明显影响物质在微囊膜的扩散动力学[34].另外,通过层层自组装技术(LBL法)制备的微囊膜,其传质性能与LBL层数呈现显著的相关性.李思阳等[35]的结果表明,随着聚电解质PLL/ALG交替层数的增加,微囊膜变厚,微囊膜的通透性降低,导致药物10-羟基喜树碱(HCPT)释放速率降低,通过调节微胶囊的包覆层数可以控制药物的释放率.该结论在其他报道中也得到证实[36-39].此外,Yu等[26]发现,作为细胞载体的海藻酸钠-壳聚糖微胶囊,膜的通透性能随着细胞的增殖而降低,原因是在壳聚糖成膜及细胞增殖过程中,在静电力及囊内渗透压作用下,微囊内的海藻酸钠分子向膜内表面移动,结合细胞增殖过程产生的大分子代谢产物均挤压在微囊膜的内表面,形成新的“表观膜”,从而增加了物质的扩散阻力.4 结语和展望海藻酸盐基微胶囊因其良好的生物相容性、pH响应性、体积相变性、选择透过性等被广泛应用于细胞培养微反应器、药物控释载体、基因运载工具等方面.微囊膜传质性能是决定其应用效果的关键,尽管海藻酸盐基微囊膜传质行为的相关研究已有很多报道,但实验研究较多,理论研究相对不足.数学模型有利于更好地分析物质在微囊膜上的传质行为,但由于制备材料与工艺参数不同而导致的微囊膜结构差异、物质分子结构及电性差异、微囊内含物性质或活性差异(尤其是细胞的生长情况)以及应用环境差异等都决定了实际应用过程中微囊膜上的物质扩散传递较为复杂.同时,建立模型时为便于计算而引入的假设(如:分子在微囊内均匀分布)与实际情况(存在浓度梯度)不符,导致理论模型往往无法真正得到有效应用.因此,需要借助或建立一些在微囊应用过程中的在线检测方法(如微探针)尽可能获取物质扩散传递的动态信息,再结合计算机软件的强大数据分析功能,去获得更为接近真实情况下的物质扩散模型,为微囊化细胞的规模化培养和自动化控制或者微囊化药物控释剂型研制提供理论指导.参考文献:[1] 刘袖洞, 于炜婷, 王为, 等. 海藻酸钠和壳聚糖聚电解质微胶囊及其生物医学应用[J]. 化学进展, 2008, 20(1): 126-139.[2] Xu X, Wu X T, Wang Q Q, et al.

S14/8 cells, a mouse fibroblast cell line trans-fected with 6.0 kilobases of genomic HLA-G,12, 13werecultured in Dulbecco minimum essential medium con-taining 2-mmol/L glutamine, antibiotics, 1-mmol/Lsodium pyruvate, 10% fetal bovine serum, and 200µg/mL geneticin (Sigma, St Louis, Mo). Culture super-natant was acquired when the cells had reached >80%684Hunt et al September 2000Am J Obstet Gynecolwell of a 96-well polystyrene plate. The plates were incu-bated overnight at 4°C in a moist, sealed container. The wells were washed 4 times with phosphate-buffered sodium chloride solution (PBS, pH 7.0) containing 0.05% Tween 20 (PBS/Tween), and the uncoupled sites were blocked by incubating with 200 µL 0.4% bovine serum albumin (BSA) (Sigma) in PBS/Tween for 3 hours at room temperature (RT). After removal of the blocking solution 100 µL/well of an appropriate dilution of con-trol or test sample was added and the plates were incu-bated at 4°C overnight. The samples were removed, the wells were washed 4 times with PBS/Tween, and then ei-ther preimmune or immune rabbit antibody to sHLA-G (50 µL/well, 5 µg/mL in 2% BSA/PBS) was added. The plates were incubated for 3 hours at RT. The plates were washed 4 times with PBS/Tween, and then 50 µL/well of goat antirabbit IgG (H+L) at 5 µg/mL (Vector Laborato-ries, Inc, Burlingame, Calif) was added and incubation was continued for 3 hours at RT. The wells were washed 4 times with PBS/Tween, and then 50 µL ABC reagent was added (Vector Laboratories). The plates were incu-bated for 30 minutes at RT. The wells were washed again 4 times with PBS/Tween, then 100 µL of 1-mg/mL P-NPP substrate (Southern Biotechnology Associates, Inc, Birm-ingham, Ala) made in 10% diethanolamine buffer (pH 9.8) was added to each well and the plates were incubated at RT for 1 hour. The reaction was stopped by adding 50µL of 0.5-mol/L sodium hydroxide to each well, and color reactions were read at 405 nm with an EL X808 (Bio-Tek Instruments, Inc, Winooski, Vt) microplate reader. The same procedure was used when the W6/32 monoclonal antibody was substituted for anti-sHLA-G, antibody, except that incubation with substrate was con-cluded after 10 minutes. In the capture phase of the ELISA, replicate samples were plated into 6 wells con-taining bound monoclonal anti-sHLA-G or W6/32 anti-body. In the detection phase 3 of the wells were tested with preimmune rabbit IgG and 3 were tested with im-mune rabbit anti-sHLA-G antibody. Mean values obtained for preimmune IgG (absorbance at 405 nm) were sub-tracted from mean values obtained with immune serum (absorbance at 405 nm) to give mean specific binding for each sample. All tests were performed with the experi-menter blinded as to stage of gestation and pregnancy outcome.Radioimmunoassays were used to detect human chori-onic gonadotropin βsubunit (β-hCG), progesterone, and 17β-estradiol in serum samples. All of the serum samples obtained from Community Blood Center were tested in these assays according to the manufacturer’s instructions (Diagnostic Products Corp, Los Angeles, Calif). ResultsThe capture ELISA that used monoclonal and poly-clonal antibodies directed toward an amino acid sequence derived from intron 4 specifically detected sHLA-G in serum, as determined by inclusion of positive and nega-tive control preparations in each experiment. The posi-tive control preparation consisted of undiluted super-natant culture medium from an HLA-G–transfected mouse fibroblast cell line, the S14/8 cells. The mean (±SEM) specific binding for S14/8 supernatants in 23 separate experiments was 0.14 ±0.04.Serum samples from 44 female blood donors were used to establish baseline values for nonpregnant women. The mean specific binding was 0.064 ±0.011. Two serum sam-ples had high values in ELISAs for soluble HLA-G. To eval-uate the possibility that these reflected unidentified preg-nancy, the 2 samples were tested for β-hCG, progesterone, and 17β-estradiol. Normal values were obtained.F ig 1 shows the results of testing 129 serum samples from pregnant women. Eighty percent of the serum sam-ples from pregnant women yielded specific binding val-ues that were above the mean specific binding value of serum samples from nonpregnant women, and 20% yielded values that were below this mean. The total num-ber of samples tested in the ELISA was 137, which in-cluded duplicate samples from 8 women. Absolute values for the 2 samples differed slightly, but all pairs matched in terms of relationships with values from serum samples from nonpregnant control subjects. Seven pairs were above the mean for serum samples from nonpregnant women and 1 pair was below this mean. Because absolute values obtained in the ELISAs varied as a result of envi-ronmental conditions, lot numbers of developing re-agents, and other nonspecific factors, further analyses were conducted after the values were normalized to the mean of the serum samples from nonpregnant women.Fig 1. Identification of sHLA-G in serum samples from pregnant women by capture ELISA. sHLA-G in 1:4 dilutions of serum samples from pregnant women was captured with monoclonal antibody to sHLA-G, and bound sHLA-G was detected using a rabbit antibody.

The overall F test for the model that looked for general differences among the means was highly significant (P < .0001), and the P values for the in-dividual comparisons after adjustment for multiple com-parisons were all highly significant (P < .0001, compar-isons of nonpregnant women with women in the first and third trimesters of pregnancy; P = .004, comparison of nonpregnant women with women in the second trimester of pregnancy).The acquisition of repeated samples from 22 women permitted longitudinal analysis. Consistent with the overall findings shown in Fig 2, when these serum samples were grouped by trimester and compared with one another, no statistically significant temporal changes were observed.Table II shows that, although there were fluctuations, there were no general trends toward changes in sHLA-G levels when each mother was considered individually.Forty-nine of the serum samples from pregnant women tested in this assay were acquired from women with dia-betes. Comparisons were made between the binding val-ues of pregnant women with and without diabetes, be-cause concentrations of proinflammatory cytokines that enhance expression of HLA class I antigens, such as tumor necrosis factor α, are elevated in the uterus in women with diabetes. There were no statistically signifi-cant differences between the values obtained for preg-nant women with and without diabetes, although in each trimester values for women with diabetes (first trimester,13%; second trimester, 9%; third trimester, 14%) were slightly higher than values for women without diabetes.The data are shown in Fig 3.Fig 2. Identification of sHLA-G in serum samples from pregnant women during first, second, and third trimesters by capture ELISA. sHLA-G in 1:4 dilutions of serum samples from pregnant women was captured with monoclonal antibody to sHLA-G, and bound sHLA-G was detected using a rabbit antibody. Data are shown as a percentage of the mean absorbance at 405 nm for serum samples from nonpregnant control subjects (n = 44) to normalize results of different experiments. 1 Asterisk,P < .004; 2asterisks,P < .0001.686Hunt et alSeptember 2000Am J Obstet GynecolExperiments were then done to establish which iso-forms of HLA-G were present in maternal serum samples.F irst, the ability of the capture ELISA to identify free HLA-G heavy chain was documented. Recombinant sHLA-G was diluted in isotonic sodium chloride solution to avoid soluble antigens in serum, and values obtained for duplicate samples were averaged after subtraction of sodium chloride solution control values. F ig 4 shows concentration-dependent detection of sHLA-G free heavy chains in the capture ELISA. From 25 to 50 ng of recom-binant sHLA-G yielded approximately the same ab-sorbance value at 405 nm as did the supernatants of S14/8cells used as positive control preparations (absorbance [mean ±SEM] at 405 nm, 0.14 ±0.04).Subsequent studies indicated that the sHLA-G2 iso-form predominated in maternal serum samples. The sHLA-G1 isoform contains α1, α2, and α3domains and forms noncovalent associations with the light chain, β2-microglobulin (β2m). In contrast, the sHLA-G2 isoformlacks the α2domain and does not associate with β2m but instead forms homodimers. Association with β2m was therefore used to distinguish between the two isoforms.Anti-sHLA-G monoclonal antibodies were replaced with the monoclonal antibody W6/32, which requires heavy chain–β2m association for recognition. F ig 5 demon-strates that W6/32 failed to capture sHLA-G in serum samples from pregnant women, yielding values in sam-ples from first, second, and third trimesters that were lit-tle different from the values in serum samples from non-pregnant female control subjects.Having determined that sHLA-G circulates in the mother, we then investigated the possibility that sHLA-G circulates in the baby at the time of delivery. Ten cord serum samples taken from term deliveries were tested,and these yielded a mean specific binding (absorbance at 405 nm) of 0.04 ±0.01, which was 90% ±10% of the mean of 3 serum samples from nonpregnant female control subjects included in the same assay. One cord serum sam-ple was included in the group shipped from Chicago, and this also contained no specific binding activity. Thus sHLA-G concentration was not elevated in neonatal serum at mentThe data presented in this report show for the first time that sHLA-G circulates in mothers during preg-nancy. Multiple control preparations were used to verify the specificity and sensitivity of the capture ELISA. Su-pernatant culture media of the HLA-G–transfected mouse fibroblast cell line S14/8, which has been shown previously to transcribe messenger ribonucleic acid en-coding for sHLA-G,12was used as a positive control prepa-ration. Values in supernatants were consistently 2-foldFig 3. Comparison of specific binding values for sHLA-G in serum samples from pregnant women with and without diabetes.Capture ELISA was performed as outlined in Material and Meth-ods section.Fig 5. Use of W6/32 to distinguish sHLA-G1 and sHLA-G2 iso-forms in serum samples from pregnant women. W6/32, which requires heavy chain–light chain association, was substituted for monoclonal antibody to sHLA-G in the capture phase of ELISA.Binding was detected as before. Data are shown as percentages of the mean absorbance at 405 nm for serum samples from non-pregnant control subjects (n = 44) to normalize the results of dif-ferent experiments.Fig 4. Identification of recombinant sHLA-G in capture ELISA.Recombinant sHLA-G was diluted in sodium chloride solution and tested in duplicate in capture ELISA with 16G1 and rabbit anti-sHLA-G. Average absorbance at 405 nm reading is shown for each concentration of recombinant sHLA-G.Volume 183, Number 3Hunt et al687 Am J Obstet Gynecolgreater than values obtained with serum samples from nonpregnant control subjects, which were obtained from a local blood bank. Most of these samples from nonpreg-nant women yielded predictably low values. The fact that some sHLA-G appeared to be present in the sera of non-pregnant women is of considerable interest, however, and warrants further investigation. Two of the 44 samples gave high readings. We obtained no evidence of unsuspected pregnancy by testing all the samples for β-hCG, proges-terone, and estrogen. Possibly in the two samples with high values inflammatory conditions gave rise to in-creases in sHLA-G concentration, as is the case for other HLA class I antigens.20In support of this idea, activation of macrophages with the proinflammatory cytokine inter-feron γgives rise to production of sHLA-G.12, 13Further studies showed that the capture assay detected recombi-nant sHLA-G free heavy chains in a dose-dependent man-ner, thus verifying the specificity of the assay. Because it is not known whether sHLA-G in serum exists in free heavy chains, as homodimers or heterodimers, or in combina-tion with light chains, recombinant sHLA-G was not an appropriate standard for quantification of sHLA-G in serum samples.sHLA-G levels rose during early gestation and persisted throughout pregnancy. Even though HLA-G in placentas is most prominent during the first trimester,7we observed no statistically significant differences among values ob-tained during the first, second, and third trimesters of pregnancy. However, there was a tendency for values to decline modestly as pregnancy progressed toward termi-nation. The failure to observe statistically significant tem-poral changes may have been caused by the compara-tively wide range of values in each trimester; alternatively, the HLA-G in early placentas may comprise mainly mem-brane-bound rather than soluble antigen. In any event, the results obtained in longitudinal analyses tended to support the idea that sHLA-G levels fluctuate but that this is caused by factors other than stage of gestation, such as the kinetics of production and use or genetic predisposi-tion toward production of sHLA-G. In support of the lat-ter idea, although the data shown in Table II were not analyzed because too few patients were tested longitudi-nally, there did appear to be an emerging pattern for pa-tient-specific levels; that is, some women (eg, patients 54, 174, and 292) had fairly low levels throughout pregnancy, whereas others (eg, patients 286 and 296) had consis-tently high levels throughout pregnancy.It will be of considerable interest to learn whether serum levels of sHLA-G are different among women who are infertile or have difficulty in maintaining pregnancy. In this study we investigated only diabetes as a condition that complicates pregnancy. Diabetic pregnancy is char-acterized by high levels of tumor necrosis factor α, a proinflammatory cytokine that might alter production of sHLA-G. Although no statistically significant differ-ences were observed at any stage of gestation when levels of sHLA-G in women with and without diabetes were compared, there was a trend for samples from women with diabetes to demonstrate higher specific binding than those from women without diabetes. This did not af-fect pregnancy outcome, because all the mothers in this study carried the conceptus to term. It is possible that higher levels of sHLA-G in maternal serum samples sim-ply reflected the generally larger size of placentas in women with diabetes.We present evidence in support of the idea that the major form of sHLA-G in the serum during pregnancy is likely to be the sHLA-G2 isoform, which does not bind β2m. The specific isoform of sHLA-G in the serum dur-ing pregnancy is clearly of interest, because the 2 iso-forms that have been identified may differ functionally as a consequence of biochemical structure. The sHLA-G1 isoform includes the α2domain required for com-plexing with β2m and binding peptide in the light chain–heavy chain groove, whereas the sHLA-G2 isoform lacks α2and associates into HLA class II–like homo-dimers that do not recognize β2m but are capable of binding peptides.3, 5, 9, 23, 24A monoclonal antibody that requires heavy chain–β2m associations, W6/32, failed to capture sHLA-G in serum samples from pregnant women, which indicates that the sHLA-G2 isoform prob-ably predominates. No isoform-specific antisera that might answer this question definitively have been re-ported as yet. One possible functional implication of this finding is that perhaps maternal cells programmed to recognize HLA class II plus peptide bind circulating sHLA-G2 and initiate a peptide-specific immune re-sponse. A second possibility is that lymphocytes bearing HLA-G–specific T-cell receptors might recognize circu-lating sHLA-G2 and be induced to “commit suicide”through the Fas–Fas ligand apoptosis pathway.18This is an attractive hypothesis that could account for the lack of circulating maternal antifetal T lymphocytes. Third, sHLA-G2 might interact with killer inhibitory receptors on natural killer cells at the maternal-fetal interface and prevent attack on the placenta. Further experiments are required to learn whether any of these events, which could have important impacts on the maternal immune system, do indeed occur.Despite the fact that concentrations of sHLA class I antigens are known to be high in cord blood,16little if any sHLA-G was identified in cord serum samples from term deliveries. Cord serum samples from early gesta-tion were not available for testing, so the possibility remains that sHLA-G is present early but declines to un-detectable levels at pregnancy termination. Alterna-tively, mechanisms may be in place for prevention of placental sHLA-G from leaking into the fetal blood cir-culation where it could influence the developing fetal immune system.688Hunt et al September 2000Am J Obstet GynecolIn summary, we have demonstrated that sHLA-G circu-lates in mothers and that the predominant isoform is likely to be sHLA-G2. The predominance of the sHLA-G2 isoform may account for our recent and surprising find-ing that fetal survival is not compromised by absence of the HLA-G1 isoform; we identified subjects who were ho-mozygous for a mutation that precludes synthesis of the HLA-G1 isoforms.25Collectively the data strongly suggest that the sHLA-G2 isoform may have considerable func-tional importance, a hypothesis that is under evaluation in our laboratories.We appreciate the kind gifts by Drs G.
