Assessed the enhancement of immunocompetence by relaxation and social contact in 45 60–88 yr old geriatric residents of independent-living facilities. Ss were randomly assigned to 1 of 3 protocols: (1) relaxation training, (2) social contact, or (3) no contact. Ss in the relaxation and social-contact conditions were seen individually 3 times/wk for 1 mo. Blood samples and self-report data were obtained at baseline, at the end of the intervention, and at a 1-mo follow-up. At the end of the intervention, Ss in the relaxation group, who had been taught progressive relaxation and guided imagery as an active coping skill, showed a significant increase in natural killer cell activity and significant decreases in antibody titers to Herpes simplex virus and self-rated distress. The other 2 groups showed nonsignificant changes. There was a general increase in the T-lymphocyte response to phytohemagglutinin stimulation at the end of the intervention, with greater change at lower mitogen concentrations. Data suggest that cellular immunocompetence may be enhanced by psychosocial interventions. (34 ref) (PsycINFO Database Record (c) 2010 APA, all rights reserved) 相似文献

Phospholipase D (PLD) has been implicated in vesicle trafficking in the Golgi and hence secretion. In this study, we show that the secretion of matrix metalloproteinase-9 (MMP-9) from HT 1080 human fibrosarcoma cells was stimulated by phorbol 12-myristate 13-acetate in a time- and dose-dependent manner that involved protein kinase C. The phorbol ester also increased PLD activity in the cells. Evidence that PLD was involved in the stimulation of MMP-9 secretion was provided by the observations that the secretion of MMP-9 was stimulated by the introduction of short-chain phosphatidic acid (PA) into the growth medium and that inhibition of PA production by 1-propanol inhibited secretion. Using a short-chain diacylglycerol we excluded the possibility that MMP-9 secretion was induced by diacylglycerol formed from PA by phosphatidic acid phosphatase. Furthermore, propranolol, an inhibitor of this enzyme, had no effect on secretion induced by either phorbol 12-myristate 13-acetate or PA. The data presented here indicate that activation of protein kinase C increases MMP-9 secretion in HT 1080 cells and implicate PLD and PA formation in the effect. 相似文献

Class I ADP-ribosylation factors (ARFs) are essential for coatomer and clathrin coat assembly and vesicular transport in the Golgi apparatus. However, little is known about the in vivo regulation of ARF actions. Recently we cloned arfaptin 1, a 39 kDa protein that binds active, GTPgammaS-liganded ARF and translocates with it to Golgi membranes. Here we show that phorbol ester-stimulated phospholipase D (PLD) activity is inhibited in arfaptin 1-overexpressing NIH 3T3 cells and that arfaptin 1 inhibits ARF activation of Golgi-associated PLD. Since PLD activity is thought to play a role in regulating vesicular transport in the secretory pathway, we determined the rate of glycosylation of vesicular stomatitis virus glycoprotein as a measure of protein transport from the endoplasmic reticulum through the Golgi apparatus. Arfaptin 1 overexpression was found to decrease the rate of this reaction approximately two-fold. These data suggest that arfaptin 1 is a regulator of ARF action in the Golgi apparatus. 相似文献
