应用荧光探剂 1,6-二苯基-1,3,5-己三烯(DPH)观察外源胆固醇对水稻极端线粒体膜流动性的影响。结果表明,无论外源胆固醇通过水培根系吸收或是直接添加给予水稻根端线粒体,都能使DPH与线粒体结合后的荧光强度减弱,使荧光偏振度和微粘度降低,增加水稻根端线粒体膜流动性。     

没食子酸丙酯和没食子酸异丁酯对人红细胞膜结构与功能的影响

本文应用荧光探剂ANS(1—苯胺—8萘磺酸)、NPN(N—苯基—1—萘胺)和DPH(1.6—二苯基—1.3.5—已三烯)观察没食子酸丙醋和没食子酸异丁酯对人红细胞膜流动性和相变温度以及Na~ -K~ ATP酶活性的影响.实验结果指出该两种化合物均能:(1)降低与膜结合的荧光探剂强度但不改变探剂在水相与膜相的分配比例:(2)降低膜脂的相变温度,增加膜的流动性;(3)抑制红细胞膜Na~ -K~ ATP酶活性;(4)标记红细胞膜的DPH偏振度随化合物浓度的增加而降低,膜的流动性增加.在给定的浓度范围内,两种化合物的效应表现为明显的量效关系与构效关系.从上述结果推测该两种化合物可能是通过改变膜脂结构、膜蛋白的脂类环境而调节膜的功能,成为其治疗疾病的机理之一.     

瓢虫对杀虫剂的敏感性研究

用4种不同类别杀虫剂对3种不同用药水平地区的七星瓢虫Coccinella septempunctataLinnaeus、龟纹瓢虫Propylea japonica (Thunberg)的毒力进行了测定,同一种用药水平地区的瓢虫对不同药剂的敏感性差异均极显著,三氟氯氰菊酯>灭多威>甲胺磷>硫丹;三氟氯氰菊酯对用药水平较高地区的七星瓢虫幼虫、成虫的毒力分别为硫丹的8547和617倍。同种药剂对不同用药水平地区的七星瓢虫的毒力差异不显著,而用药水平较高地区的龟纹瓢虫较用药水平较低地区的龟纹瓢虫对三氟氯氰菊酯产生了30.6倍的抗药性,这与羧酸酯酶活性提高有关。不同种类杀虫剂对七星瓢虫和抗性棉蚜Aphis gossypii Glover的选择指数差异极为显著,硫丹>灭多威>甲胺磷>三氟氯氰菊酯,如硫丹为4.9,而三氟氯氰菊酯却仅为7.3X10^-6。硫丹是防治抗性棉蚜值得重视的一种杀虫剂。     

膜融合剂对脂质体及血影膜膜流动性的影响

本文用荧光探针ANS,DPH与A研究了几种膜融合剂对脂质体与血影膜流动性的影响.蔗糖使PS脂质体的脂双层流动性降低,探针越是在极性区流动性越小,说明蔗糖主要作用于脂双层的极性区;蔗糖也使血影膜流动性降低,此作用是可逆的.油酸甘油脂(GMO)使PS脂质体的流动性增加,且越是在疏水区内部,流动性增加得越大,说明GMO主要是作用于脂双层的非极性区:GMO也使血影膜流动性增加,此作用是不可逆的.二甲亚砜(DMSO)对血影膜的作用,两种不同荧光探针不一样,对DPH的作用出现双相让,低浓度与高浓度的作用结果分别与蔗糖和GMO的作用一致.     

鲢,鲮线粒体膜DPH荧光偏振研究

鲢(Hypophthalmichthys molitrix)、鲮(Cirrhina molitorella)肝线粒体膜的DPH荧光偏振度均随温度的升高而降低,即膜的流动性随温度升高而增大,且在36—38℃之间存在相变。但在鲢鱼线粒体膜同时还具有一个“动力学折点”,在鲮鱼不具有这一特性。结果分析表明,鲢、鲮线粒体膜的这种差异可能与其温度适应的调节机制有关。     

外源氯化胆碱可提高小麦线粒体膜的流动性

分别用ANS、DPH及16 -NS三种不同的标记物标记小麦黄化苗的线粒体 ,研究氯化胆碱 (cholinechloride,CC)对线粒体膜的荧光光谱、平均微粘度 (η )及ESR图谱的影响。结果表明 ,0.21 -1.79mmol·L-1 的CC均能显著降低线粒体膜的荧光强度、η 值及ESR图谱的序参数 (S)和旋转相关时间 (τc) ,表明CC可增加线粒体膜的流动性。为揭示CC的提高植物抗冷机制提供依据     

呼吸链底物和抑制剂对线粒体内膜流动性的影响

用DPH和ANS标记大鼠肝线粒体内膜,以稳态荧光偏振法,研究了呼吸链底物和抑制剂对内膜流动性的影响。1.苹果酸+谷氨酸、琥珀酸分别为底物,均能引起内膜流动性增加。2.琥珀酸对含心磷脂的脂质体的膜流动性无影响。3.在鱼藤酮存在的条件下,苹果酸+谷氨酸对内膜流动性的增加作用消失,但琥珀酸的作用仍然存在。有氰化钾时则琥珀酸的作用消失。4.不论外加底物存在与否,鱼藤酮使内膜的流动性下降,而氰化钾则使之增加。抗霉素A亦可使内膜的流动性增加。上述结果表明:线粒体内膜流动性与其功能密切相关。电子沿呼吸链传递使线粒体内膜流动性增加,这种变化可能与呼吸链成分的氧化还原态有关。

MicroRNAs(miRNAs)是一类长约22 nt的非编码小RNA,在基因表达中起重要调控作用.已有研究表明,农药三唑磷和氟虫腈能影响斑马鱼全鱼组织中部分miRNAs的正常表达,但未见对miRNA表达的组织特异性的研究.本研究采用荧光定量PCR技术研究了经三唑磷微乳剂、氟虫腈微乳剂及其复配剂处理后,四种miRNA(...     

水分胁迫对甘蔗叶片线粒体膜流动性的影响及其与膜脂过氧化的关系

用荧光探剂ANS对抗旱性不同的甘蔗品种在水分胁迫下叶片线粒体膜流动性的变化进行的研究表明,水分胁迫降低了线粒体膜的流动性,抗旱性强的甘蔗品种Co 617和F.Y.79-9的下降幅度分别小于抗旱性弱的Co 740和M.T.77-208;水分胁迫下线粒体膜流动性的下降与膜脂过氧化产物丙二醛含量的增加有密切关系。外源自由基处理试验也表明,甘蔗叶片线粒体膜流动性的下降与膜脂过氧化作用有关。     

DPH标记细胞膜的动力学与膜脂流动性的荧光偏振校正测量

用稳态荧光技术测得经过校正的荧光成分,由此算出用DPH标记的细胞膜的偏振度。方法是作荧光偏振值在随时间变化的曲线,将其外推至零标记时间求出该时间的荧光偏振值。用此法测定了艾氏腹水癌细胞的膜流动性。结果表明流动性比用整个细胞测得之值小,说明膜脂的有序程度和包装密度比胞浆中的脂大。实验结果和用三房空模型分析所得的理论值符合较好,提示荧光探剂的标记过程主要受分子扩散所控制。     

Thermal adaptation of Tetrahymena membranes with special reference to mitochondria. II. Preferential interaction of cardiolipin with specific molecular species of phospholipid

A specific effect of cardiolipin on fluidity of mitochondrial membranes was demonstrated in Tetrahymena cells acclimated to a lower temperature in the previous report (Yamauchi, T., Ohki, K., Maruyama, H. and Nozawa, Y. (1981) Biochim. Biophys. Acta 649, 385-392). This study was further confirmed by the experiment using fluorescence polarization of 1,6-diphenyl-1,3,5-hexatriene (DPH). Anisotropy of DPH for microsomal and pellicular total lipids from Tetrahymena cells showed that membrane fluidity of these lipids increased gradually as the cells were incubated at 15 degrees C after the shift down of growth temperature from 39 degrees C. However, membrane fluidity of mitochondrial total lipids was kept constant up to 10 h. This finding is compatible with the result obtained using spin probe in the previous report. Additionally, the break-point temperature of DPH anisotropy was not changed in mitochondrial lipids whereas those temperatures in pellicular and microsomal lipids lowered during the incubation at 15 degrees C. Interaction between cardiolipins and various phospholipids, which were isolated from Tetrahymena cells grown at 39 degrees C or 15 degrees C and synthesized chemically, was investigated extensively using a spin labeling technique. The addition of cardiolipins from Tetrahymena cells grown at either 39 degrees C or 15 degrees C did not change the membrane fluidity (measured at 15 degrees C) of phosphatidylcholine from whole cells grown at 39 degrees C. On the other hand, both cardiolipins of 39 degrees C-grown and 15 degrees C-grown cells decreased the membrane fluidity of phosphatidylcholine from Tetrahymena cells grown at 15 degrees C. The same results were obtained for phosphatidylcholines of mitochondria and microsomes. Membrane fluidity of phosphatidylethanolamine, isolated from cells grown at 15 degrees C, was reduced to a small extent by Tetrahymena cardiolipin whereas that of 39 degrees C-grown cells was not changed. Representative molecular species of phosphatidylcholines of cells grown at 39 degrees C and 15 degrees C were synthesized chemically; 1-palmitoyl-2-oleoylphosphatidylcholine for 39 degrees C-grown cells and dipalmitoleoylphosphatidylcholine for 15 degrees C-grown ones. By the addition of Tetrahymena cardiolipin, the membrane fluidity of 1-palmitoyl-2-oleoylphosphatidylcholine was not changed but that of dipalmitoleoylphosphatidylcholine was decreased markedly. These phenomena were caused by Tetrahymena cardiolipin. However, bovine heart cardiolipin, which has a different composition of fatty acyl chains from the Tetrahymena one, exerted only a small effect.     

Effects of thyroid hormones on inner mitochondrial membrane fluidity

Authors studied the effects of thyroid hormones and their diasteroisomers and 3,5-diiodothyronine (LT2) on the fluidity properties of inner mitochondrial membrane (IMM) by specifical fluorescent probe for the internal zone of biological membranes, the 1,6-diphenyl-1,3,5-hexatriene (DPH). The studied parameters are Arrhenius and Perrin plots. The DPH shows a decreased fluorescence quenching in the presence of both T3 and T4. The maximum effect is observed with 2 nM LT2. LT2 is more effective than LT3 in the central zone. The data confirm the selective action of LT3 and LT4 on IMM fluidity.     

Effect of Exogenous Cholesterol on the Fluidity of Mitochondrlal Membran from Rice Root Apex

The effect of exogenous cholesterol on the fluidity of mitochondrial membrane from riceroot apex was investigated using the DPH fluorescece probe (1,6-diphenyl-l, 3, 5,-hexatriene).Results showed that exogenous cholesterol, either being absorbed by root system during water culture of rice or being added directly to the prepared mitochondrial of control rice root apex, decreased the fluorescence intesity of probe in the mitochondrial membrane and reduced the fluorescence polarization as well as micro-viscosity, but increased the fluidity of the mitochondrial membrane in rice root apex.     

Comparison of Membrane Pluidity of Seedling Mitochondria of Chilling Sensitive and Chilling Tolerant Rice

The membrane fluidity of seedling mitochondria of chilling-sensitive rice and that of chilling-tolerant rice were compared by using spin labeled stearic acid: 5, 12 16-NS and fluorescent probe DPH. From the ESR spectra using 5-NS as a spin labeled probe it clearly showed that the calculated order parameter (S) of seedling mitochondria of chilling-sensitive rice Qiu Guang was obviously higher than that of chilling-resistant rice Ji Geng 44. Similar results were obtained when seedling'mitochondria of another species of chilling sensitive Zao Jin were compared with those of chilling tolerant rice Ji Geng 60. Moreover, the difference of order parameters between Ji Geng 44 and Ji Geng 60 was quite small, but both of them are obviously lower than those of chilling-sensitive rice Qiu Guang or Zao Jin. The results using spin labeled probe 12-NS, 16-NS clearly showed that the relative correlation times (τc) of seedling mitochondria of chilling-sensitive rice Qiu Guang or Zao Jin was markedly higher than that of the chilling tolerant rice Ji Geng 44 or Ji Geng 60. A comparison of membrane fluidity of seedling mitochondria of chilling-sensitive and chilling-resistant rice using fluorescent probe DPH was also carried out. Similar results were obtained and showed that the fluidity of mitochondrial membrane of chilling resistant rice seedling was obviously higher than that of the chilling-sensitive ones. Thus, it seemed that the fluidity of mitochondrial membrane might be used as a biophysical test for screening chilling tolerance of rice at seedling stage.     

Fluidity and osmotic sensitivity changes of phospholipase A2-treated liposomes

Membrane fluidity and osmotic sensitivity were examined in DPPC liposomes treated with phospholipase A2 (PL.A2) in the presence of Ca2+ or Mg2+. The amount of liposome phospholipid hydrolyzed differed with the two ions. Embedded DPH, a rod-like fluorescent probe, was employed in the determination of membrane fluidity. Membrane fluidity decreased according to the degree of phospholipid hydrolization in liposomes by PL.A2. The reciprocal value of absorption at 450 nm was measured as the index of osmotic sensitivity of liposomes. Intact sonicated liposomes showed osmotic insensitivity. PL.A2-treated liposomes in which about 40% of total phospholipid was hydrolyzed showed osmotic sensitivity. No change in the membrane fluidity was obtained when PL.A2-treated liposomes were exposed to hypertonic or hypotonic solution. These results suggested that the motion of the acyl-chain of phospholipids and free fatty acids was resisted in PL.A2-treated liposomes. The resistance may be due to a phase separation between phospholipids and free fatty acids. The pore for water permeation might be induced in the border between phase-separated domains in PL.A2-treated liposomes.     

Thermal adaptation of Tetrahymena membranes with special reference to mitochondria II. Preferential interaction of cardiolipin with specific molecular species of phospholipid

A specific effect of cardiolipin on fluidity of mitochondrial membranes was demonstrated in Tetrahymena cells acclimated to a lower temperature in the previous report (Yamauchi, T., Ohki, K., Maruyama, H. and Nozawa, Y.

Modulation of membrane receptor endocytosis by chemical effectors of membrane fluidity

Several chemical effectors were used to induce changes in spleen B cell membrane fluidity. Membrane fluidity was monitored by fluorescence polarization analysis of the hydrophobic probe 1,6-diphenyl-1,3,5-hexatriene (DPH) and cell viability was checked not to be affected by the treatments. Membrane immunoglobulin (Ig) endocytosis by the living B cells with modified or unmodified membranes was quantitatively measured by flow cytometry, using a previously described method (Métézeau et al., 1982, 1984). The kinetics of endocytosis of membrane Ig was not affected by chemical effectors increasing membrane fluidity. On the contrary, increasing membrane microviscosity resulted in the slowing down and eventually the blocking of membrane Ig endocytosis. It is suggested that a step depending on membrane microviscosity is involved in the process of endocytosis; this step may become rate limiting when membranes are artificially rendered or naturally become (i.e. for pathological or particularly differentiated cells) more viscous.     

A differential polarized phase fluorometric study of the effects of high hydrostatic pressure upon the fluidity of cellular membranes

The effects of high hydrostatic pressure (up to 2 kbar) upon the fluidity and order of the synaptic and myelin membrane fractions of goldfish brain have been studied by using steady-state and differential polarized phase fluorometry. Probe motion provided a measure of membrane order (r infinity) and probe rotational rate (R). Membrane order became progressively greater as pressure was increased up to approximately 2 kbar. This effect was similar over the temperature range 5.6-34.3 degrees C. An increase in pressure of 1 kbar had an effect on membrane order that was equivalent to a 13-19 degrees C reduction in temperature. Membrane order was essentially identical during pressurization and depressurization. At 5.6 degrees C, pressurization caused a large increase in R, and similar, though less dramatic, anomalies occurred at higher temperatures. It is suggested that this is due to the segregation of probe molecules in highly ordered membranes, which leads either to excitation transfer between 1,6-diphenyl-1,3,5-hexatriene (DPH) molecules or to changes in the rotational motion of DPH from "sticking" to "slipping".
