A study was undertaken to elucidate the molecular mechanisms by which glucocorticoids induce cleft palate in mice. It was hypothesized that a compound such as triamcinolone acetonide inhibits mRNA synthesis; that this results later in depressed protein synthesis; and that the latter is ultimately responsible for slowed palate formation and cleft palate. Support for the model derives from the fact that the palatine shelves rise and fuse 3-4 days after the most sensitive time of administration of steroid; RNA synthesis was markedly inhibited 6-24 hr after its administration; and coadministration of cycloheximide partially reversed the tendency toward cleft palate formation.
开展了一项研究以阐明糖皮质激素诱导小鼠腭裂的分子机制。据推测,诸如曲安奈德之类的化合物会抑制信使核糖核酸(mRNA)的合成;这随后会导致蛋白质合成减少;而后者最终会导致腭形成减缓及腭裂。该模型的依据是,在最敏感的类固醇给药时间后3 - 4天,腭板上升并融合;给药后6 - 24小时,核糖核酸(RNA)合成受到显著抑制;同时给予环己酰亚胺可部分逆转腭裂形成的趋势。
