The 24-hr intracarotid infusion of plasma-treated glycyl-L-glutamine (3 microM) produced significant enhancement of the monomeric G1 and tetrameric G4 forms of acetylcholinesterase of the cat superior cervical ganglion 48 hr after denervation, in comparison with denervated, noninfused controls. No significant effect of glycyl-L-glutamine could be demonstrated 4 or 6 days after denervation. These findings are consistent with the conclusion, drawn from a previous in vitro study, that glycyl-L-glutamine acts at a stage prior to the aggregation of the G1 form into higher polymers to maintain the acetylcholinesterase content of denervated ganglia. It is proposed that the dipeptide may regulate the transcription of the DNA for acetylcholinesterase to its corresponding mRNA.
与去神经但未输注的对照组相比,在去神经48小时后,经血浆处理的甘氨酰-L-谷氨酰胺(3微摩尔)进行24小时颈内动脉输注,可显著增强猫颈上神经节乙酰胆碱酯酶的单体G1和四聚体G4形式。去神经4天或6天后,未显示甘氨酰-L-谷氨酰胺有显著作用。这些发现与先前体外研究得出的结论一致,即甘氨酰-L-谷氨酰胺在G1形式聚合成更高聚合物之前的阶段起作用,以维持去神经节中乙酰胆碱酯酶的含量。有人提出,该二肽可能将乙酰胆碱酯酶的DNA转录调节为其相应的信使核糖核酸。
