    Abstract Oxytocin stimulates phosphoinositide turnover in myometrium. To elucidate whether the coupling mechanism involves the interaction of oxytocin receptor with GTP-binding proteins, we examined oxytocin stimulation of guanosine triphosphatase (GTPase) activity and phospholipase-C activity in rat and human myometrial membranes. Oxytocin consistently stimulated both GTPase and phospholipase-C activities, and both stimulations were attenuated by an antibody directed against the carboxyl-terminals of the GTP-binding proteins, G alpha q and G alpha 11. Neutralization of the antibody by preincubation with antigenic peptide reversed this inhibition. [Thr4,Gly7]oxytocin, a specific oxytocin receptor agonist, stimulated both GTPase and phospholipase-C activities, and the stimulations were also inhibited by anti-G alpha q/11 IgG. Immunoreactive GTP-binding proteins, G alpha q and G alpha 11, and phospholipase-C beta 3 isoforms were present in myometrial membranes. These results indicate that stimulation of phospholipase-C activity by oxytocin in myometrium is mediated via G alpha q, G alpha 11, or a closely related GTP-binding protein, probably coupling to phospholipase-C beta.

    Abstract In order to probe the nature of oxytocin receptor (OTR)/G alpha(q/11) protein coupling, we examined the effect of co-expression of OTR intracellular domains on oxytocin-stimulated phosphoinositide turnover in COSM6 cells overexpressing OTR and G alpha(q). Co-expression of G alpha(q) enhanced the oxytocin response maximally at a pOTR/pG alpha(q) plasmid transfection ratio of 1:0.16. In cells co-expressing OTR and G alpha(q/11), oxytocin stimulated phosphoinositide turnover with an EC50 of 48 nM. Co-transfection with plasmids expressing OTR intracellular domains inhibited oxytocin-stimulated phosphoinositide turnover by 23 +/- 6% (1i), 37 +/- 4% (2i), 55 +/- 6% (3i), and 40 +/- 6% (4i), respectively (P < 0.01). Expression of the 3i loop of the alpha(1B)-adrenergic receptor, which also couples to G alpha(q/11), inhibited phosphoinositide turnover by 35 +/- 2% (P < 0.01), while expression of the 3i loop of the dopamine 1A receptor, which couples to G alpha(s), had no effect. While these data indicate a functional role for the OTR 3i loop, they also suggest that interactions with more than one intracellular domain probably mediate the coupling of OTR to the G alpha(q/11) class of GTP-binding proteins.

    Abstract Autoimmune cholangitis (AIC) was first reported in 1987 as a chronic cholestatic disease that occurs predominantly in middle-aged women and has a common clinical manifestations, biochemical abnormalities and pathological changes with primary biliary cholangitis (PBC). However, serum anti-mitochondrial antibodies (AMA) are negative, and ANA and/or smooth muscle antibody positive rates are higher. The treatment response and prognosis with ursodeoxycholic acid and steroids is poor, thus it needs to be treated with immunosuppressive agents. Presently, the exact pathological mechanism of AIC is still unclear, and there is no unified assertion that classifies it as a new autoimmune liver disease or AMA-negative PBC. This article reviews the worldwide published work on AIC and compares them with PBC.

    Abstract Chronic liver disease causes bleeding and coagulation system abnormalities through a variety of mechanisms. Thrombocytopenia is a common complication of chronic liver disease. Patients with chronic liver disease, especially liver cirrhosis, often face more invasive examinations or surgeries, which brings great challenges to clinical diagnosis and treatment. Traditional platelet transfusion is the main clinical intervention. With the approval of thrombopoietin receptor agonists, the current management standards for chronic liver disease-related thrombocytopenia may face changes. This article reviews the current main non-pharmacological and pharmacological interventions for chronic liver disease-related thrombocytopenia, and put forwards the corresponding clinical management improvement strategies based on the efficacy and limitations of these interventions.
