Using highly specific and sensitive radioimmunoassays (RIAs) for endothelin-1 (ET-1) and endothelin-3 (ET-3), we have determined the concentrations of ET-1- and ET-3-like immunoreactivities (LI) in human cerebrospinal fluid (CSF). The concentration of ET-3-LI (82.5 +/- 4.8 pg/ml) was about 1.5-fold greater than that of ET-1-LI (34.3 +/- 1.3 pg/ml). There was no significant correlation between ET-1-LI and ET-3-LI concentrations in human CSF (r = 0.44). Reverse-phase high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) revealed a single major component of ET-1-LI and ET-3-LI coeluting with authentic ET-1 and ET-3, respectively. It is suggested that ET-1 and ET-3 play a neuropeptide-like role in the central nervous system.
我们使用针对内皮素 -1(ET -1)和内皮素 -3(ET -3)的高特异性和高灵敏度放射免疫分析法(RIA),测定了人脑脊液(CSF)中ET -1和ET -3样免疫反应性(LI)的浓度。ET -3 -LI的浓度(82.5±4.8 pg/ml)约为ET -1 -LI浓度(34.3±1.3 pg/ml)的1.5倍。人CSF中ET -1 -LI和ET -3 -LI浓度之间无显著相关性(r = 0.44)。反相高效液相色谱法(HPLC)显示,ET -1 -LI和ET -3 -LI的单一主要成分分别与 authentic ET -1和ET -3共洗脱。提示ET -1和ET -3在中枢神经系统中发挥类似神经肽的作用。
