Estimation of Steroids and Steroid Metabolism in a Lower Vertebrate (Lampetra planeri Bloch)

Pregnenolone, androstenedione and testosterone were identified by RIA in tissue homogenates of the pronephric region, the opisthonephros, the gonads and in plasma samples from male and female immature and mature adult brook lampreys. Additionally, hydroxysteroid dehydrogenase activity was determined spectrophotometrically in homogenates from the same tissues of mature and spent adult brook lampreys employing pregnenolone, testosterone or 3β,17β-dihydroxy-5β-androstane as substrates. The steroid levels show differences corresponding to developmental stages, tissues and sex. Remarkable quantities of testosterone were measured in the testicular tissue homogenates, in homogenates obtained from the pronephric region and in the serum.     

Alteration of serum and cardiac tissue adropin,copeptin, irisin and TRPM2 expressions in DOX treated male rats

Abstract

Doxorubicin (DOX) cardiotoxicity is a significant side effect in cancer survivors. DOX and its metabolites alter cardiac gene expression and affect metabolic energy-related peptides. Adropin, copeptin, irisin and TRPM2 are produced locally in the heart and play a role in energy homeostasis. We investigated the fates of adropin, copeptin, irisin and TRPM2 in serum and cardiac tissues of DOX treated rats. Animals were divided into three groups of six: 1) untreated controls, 2) DOX treated and 3) saline treated. The rats were fed a standard diet ad libitum for 14 days then were sacrificed and heart and serum samples were taken. Adropin, copeptin, irisin levels in tissue homogenates and serum were measured using ELISA. Immunoreactivity of heart tissue adropin, copeptin, irisin and TRPM2 also were investigated. The peptides increased in both serum and cardiac tissue homogenates in animals treated with DOX compared to the other groups. DOX increased adropin in endocardial and myocardial cells, but it decreased expression of copeptin. DOX did not affect endocardial irisin and TRPM2 expressions, but myocardial irisin and TRPM2 expressions were increased. Serum adropin, irisin and copeptin were increased in DOX treated rats. Cardiac adropin, copeptin, irisin and TRPM2 are affected by DOX and may play a role in DOX cardiotoxicity.

Serum concentrations of thyroid hormones and extrathyroidal thyroxine-5'-monodeiodinase activity during lactation in the rat

Serum thyroxine (T4) and triiodothyronine (T3) concentrations and T4-5'-monodeiodinase activity in liver and kidney homogenates were studied in Sprague-Dawley rats during lactation. Blood and tissue samples were collected from nulliparous and pregnant rats 2 days before delivery and from lactating rats 0, 2, 7, 12, 19, and 26 days after delivery. Litters were removed from half of the mothers immediately after delivery to create a postpartum nonlactating group for study at the same times. Pregnant rats had lower serum T4 and T3 concentrations and higher liver T4-5'-monodeiodinase activity than nulliparous females. Low serum T4 persisted throughout lactation but further decrease in serum T3 was observed. Activity of T4-5'-monodeiodinase in liver and kidney homogenates was significantly reduced during lactation as compared to nonlactating rats. Serum concentration of T4 and T3 and T4-5'-monodeiodinase activity in liver and kidney returned toward control values 5 days after weaning (Postpartum Day 26). Our findings suggest that the relative hypothyroid state observed during lactation in rats is associated with a significant decrease in T4 to T3 conversion in the liver and kidneys.     

Role of steroid hormones and prolactin in canine mammary cancer

In several animal studies, prolactin has been found to be essential for mammary epithelial development, and its administration has been consistently shown to increase the rate of mammary tumours. High levels of steroid hormones have also been suggested to enhance mammary cancer development. The present study investigates the levels of the following hormones in serum and in tissue homogenates in dogs bearing canine mammary tumours: prolactin (PRL), progesterone (P4), dehydroepiandrosterone (DHEA), androstenedione (A4), testosterone (T), 17beta-estradiol (17beta-E2) and estrone sulfate (S04E1). Eighty mammary tumours (40 dysplasias and benign and 40 malignant tumours) from 32 female dogs, and 10 normal mammary glands from eight female dogs without history of mammary tumours, were analysed. Prolactin and steroid hormones in serum and tissue homogenates, were analysed by enzyme immunoassays (EIA) techniques, previously validated for this animal species. Levels of prolactin in tissue homogenates were significantly different between malignant and benign mammary tumours (p<0.01). Serum prolactin concentrations were lower in the control group as compared with the group of dogs with benign tumours and in dogs with malignant tumours (p=0.01). Serum prolactin levels in dogs with benign lesions were not significantly different than those obtained from dogs with malignant tumours. Levels of steroid hormones were significantly higher in malignant tumours compared with the benign tumours and normal mammary glands (p<0.01) both in serum and homogenate determinations. Our results suggest that the canine neoplastic mammary gland could be a source of prolactin. Our hypothesis is that both prolactin and steroid hormones are involved in the growth of canine mammary cancer, and that they might have an autocrine/paracrine role in the maintenance of this disease.     

Heat and pH dependence of catalase. A comparative study

Effects of pH and heat were examined on the activity of enzyme catalase from human sources (normal and pathological sera, tissue homogenates, purified catalases). The pH optimum, temperature optimum and T50 values of purified catalases were lower than those of normal, or pathological sera and tissue homogenates. On contrast, the activation energy showed its highest value in purified catalase. These findings might be explained by the post-translational modification of enzyme catalase. The obtained results failed to enhance the diagnostic role of serum catalase determination, nevertheless, gave the optimal values of pH and temperature for catalase assay.     

Comparison of properties of thiol proteinase inhibitors from rat serum and liver

Thiol proteinase inhibitors in rat serum were purified and their properties were compared with those of rat liver thiol proteinase inhibitor. The inhibitors in rat serum were separated into three forms (S-1, S-2, and S-3) by linear gradient elution from a DE52 column. One inhibitor (S1) was purified to homogeneity by chromatography on ficin-bound Sepharose and Sephadex G-150 columns. The apparent molecular weights of S1, S2, and S3 on Sephadex G-150 columns were 90,000, 95,000, and 160,000, respectively. Serum thiol proteinase inhibitor and liver thiol proteinase differed in the following: 1) all three forms of serum inhibitor had much higher molecular weights than the liver thiol proteinase inhibitor (Mr = 12,500); 2) no cross-reactivity was observed between serum inhibitors and liver inhibitor in tests with either antiserum inhibitor or anti-liver antiserum; 3) both serum inhibitor and liver inhibitor were specific for thiol proteinases, but had different inhibition spectra; 4) the liver inhibitor did not bind to concanavalin A-Sepharose, whereas the serum inhibitor bound and was eluted with alpha-methyl mannoside. A thiol proteinase inhibitor of high molecular weight detected in tissue homogenates inhibited papain markedly but did not inhibit cathepsin H. Its activity was diminished by perfusion of the organ, indicating that it is derived from serum.     

The Vitamin E-Deficiency Syndrome in Pigs

In four experiments performed to study the pathology of vitamin E-deficiency in pigs (Nafstad & Tollersrud 1970) serum enzyme determinations were carried out in order to obtain some information about the development of the deficiency syndrome. The enzymes determined were aspartate aminotransferase (AspAT = GOT), alanine aminotransferase (AlAT = GPT), isocitrate dehydrogenase (ICD), and lactate dehydrogenase (LDH). Blood samples were taken every second week during the experiments, which lasted for three to four months each and included a total number of 112 animals. At death or slaughter organs were removed in two experiments for determination of tissue homogenate transferase activity. A good correlation was shown to exist between the levels of serum enzyme activity and the frequency of pathological changes found at necropsy. Vitamin E-supplemented pigs showed enzyme values within normal ranges, whereas animals supplemented with selenium or amino acids and non-supplemented lots showed increased levels. To a certain extent differential diagnoses between the organs most affected could also be made on the basis of the enzyme values, though the complex nature of the deficiency syndrome in some cases rendered this more hypothetical. Gastric ulcers gave no elevation of serum enzyme activity. An inverse correlation was found between transferase activity in serum and tissue homogenates. Vitamin E-deficient pigs with high serum values yielded lower tissue enzyme activity than animals in the corresponding supplemented lots. Pigs fed the highest dietary protein levels showed the highest tissue transferase activity. This was most marked for liver homogenates.     

Comparative study of the interaction of cephalosporins with blood serum proteins and organ homogenates

Interaction of 7 semisynthetic antibiotics (cephaloridine, cephalexin, cephradine, cephazolin, cephalotin, cephacetrile and cephapirin) with proteins of human, bovine and rabbit blood serum, as well as organ and tissue homogenates of rats was studied comparatively. The study showed that binding of the cephalosporins by the blood serum depended on both the chemical structure of the antibiotic and the species affiliation of the protein substrate. The binding lvels of cephazolin and cephalotin by the blood serum proteins (except bovine serum) were the highest, while the binding level of cephaloridine was the lowest. A significant decrease in the values of binding by the serum proteins of the drugs with high percentage of binding was observed when the drug concentrations in solution were increased. Binding of the cephalosporins by the blood serum proteins was in most cases completely reversible. The activity of the cephalosporins decreased in the presence of the rat organ and tissue homogenates. The levels of the activity decrease as compared to the theoretical ones were the highest with the use of cephalotin, cephacetrile and cephapirin. The lowest values of detection of these antibiotics were noted on their incubation with the liver, kidneys and lungs.     

Triacylglycerol biosynthesis in bovine liver and subcutaneous adipose tissue.

1. Adipose tissue from Angus and Brahman steers incubated with [1-14C]palmitate in the absence and presence of glucose exhibited a greater rate of lipid production than liver (P < 0.05). 2. Homogenates of adipose tissue used in the glycerol-3-phosphate acyltransferase assay exhibited a greater glycerolipid specific activity (nmol lipid/mg protein/30 min) when compared to liver (P < 0.05). 3. The inverse was true for liver homogenates when calculated for tissue activity (nmol lipid/g tissue/30 min). 4. Lysophosphatidate was produced in greater (P < 0.05) amounts than all other glycerolipids in the glycerol-3-phosphate acyltransferase assay. 5. The activity of phosphatidate phosphohydrolase in liver homogenates displayed greater rates than their respective adipose tissue homogenates. 6. Diacylglycerol acyltransferase activity was greater in adipose tissue homogenates compared to liver homogenates.
