Effects of Yiqihuoxuejiedu Formula on the Activity of G-6-Pase and Mg~(2+)-ATPase of Mice with Lewis Lung Cancer / 中国中医药信息杂志

Objective To observe the effect of Yiqihuoxuejiedu formula on the activity of G-6-Pase and Mg2+-ATPase of Lewis cells of mice with Lewis lung cancer. Method Enzyme cytochemistry was used to detect the activity of G-6-Pase and Mg2+-ATPase of the mice lung cancer of Lewis cells. Result The response granules of G-6-Pase and Mg2+-ATPase in the mice lung cancer of Lewis cells became smaller after the treatment of the Yiqihuoxuejiedu formula, the amount of the granules became fewer, the density was lower, which indicated the activity of enzyme reduced evidently. Conclusion Yiqihuoxuejiedu formula can decrease the activity of the G-6-Pase and Mg2+-ATPase.

Different Sources of omega Fatty Acids at the Fixed Ratio of p/s Affect Glutathione Dependent Enzymes in Rat Hepatocarcinogenesis

This study is conducted to determine the effects of dietary source of omega3 fatty acids on preneoplastic foci and the glutathione dependent enzymes in rat hepatocarcinogenesis initiated by diethylnitrosamine (DEN). Male Sprague-Dawley rats were fed one of three diets containing 10% (w/w) fats fixed p/s = -1.0 and omega6/omega3 ratio = -0.4 or 4.0 ; fish oil-com oil blended (FC), com oil-beef tallow-fish oil blended (CF), com oil-beef tallow-perilla oil blended (CP), from gestation period. At 10 weeks, animals of experimental groups were injected intraperitoneally with DEN (200 mg/kg body weight) and two-thirds partial hepatectomy was carried out 3 weeks later and were sacrificed 8 weeks after DEN initiation. The area and number of glutathione S-transferase placenta (GST-P) positive foci were significantly decreased in rats fed diets containing fish oil (FC and CF) than those fed perilla oil diet (CP). Fish oil feeding significantly increased the activities of glutathione dependent enzymes. Rats fed diets containing fish oil (FC and CF) significantly increased the glutathione (GSH) content and the activities of glutathione peroxidase (GPx), glutathione reductase (GR), and glutathione S-transferase (GST). Glutathione dependent enzymes had significantly negative correlation with GST-P positive foci. Glucose 6-phosphatase (G6Pase) was increased in rats feeding fish oil. Thiobarbituric acid reactive substances were not different among groups. Therefore, the preventive effect against hepatocarcinogenesis might be explained by induction of the glutathione dependent enzymes and G6Pase.

Observation of Hepatocellular Ultrastructure and G-6-Pase Cytochemistry in Hepatocarcinogenesis Induced by Diethylnitrosamine in Rats / 第二军医大学学报

In the process of hepatocarcinogenesis induced by diethylnitrosamine (DENA) in rats, the hepatocellular ultrastructure and G-6-Pase reactions in hepatic nodes were observed by electron microscope. The results are as follows: As compared with normal hepatocytes, cell junctions were fewer, even disappeared in some areas and intercellular spaces were wider; in some cells, nuclear membranes invaginated into the nucleoplasms frequently, micleoli were enlarged, mitochondria appeared swollen and their cristae were scanty- and short, and depolymerized ribosomes dropped off the dilated rough endoplasmic reticulums; in some seriously diseased cells, nucleoli were enlarged, abundant free ribosomes were present, but the' other organelles were in lower differencial state. G-6-Pase reactions were positive before the 8th week of DENA induction and negative after the 12th week. These suggest the hepatocellular metabolic disturbance and low differenciation.

ULTRASTRUCTURAL LOCALIZATION OF G6PASE ACTIVITY IN THE RAT MYOCARDIAL CELLS / 解剖学报

Glucose-6-Phosphatase (G6Pase) was regarded as a marker enzyme of the endoplasmic reticulum in a number of different cells. The purpose of this report is to study the localization of G6Pase activity in the rat left ventricular myocardial cells. G6Pase activity was found in the lumen of the nuclear envelope, the sarcoplasmic reticulum(SR) and the subsarcolemmal cisterns. The SR tubules between the adjacent myofibrils displayed characteristic distribution on their longitudinal profiles, as a curtain-like network, the tubules appeared to be tight network facing A-band, whereas tubules formed large polygonal meshes facing I-band. It is thought that the SR tubules facing A- and I-bands, respectively, represented an adaptation of SR to the selective shortening of the myofibrils at the I-band during contraction.
