叶酸受体基因转染细胞诱导后的类脂改变对叶酸摄取的影响

用胆固醇合成抑制剂Ｌｏｖａｓｔａｔｉｎ（洛伐他汀,暂译名）和神经鞘脂类合成抑制剂ＦｕｍｏｎｉｓｉｎＢ１（抑鞘脂素Ｂ１,暂译名）处理能表达糖基化磷脂酰肌醇锚定叶酸受体（ＧＰＩＦＲ）的基因转染细胞（ＦＲα·ＴＲＶＢ－１）３ｄ,发现前者可使细胞的胆固醇含量减少约３５％,而后者可使神经鞘脂类减少４４％以上;同时发现,处理组细胞结合叶酸的能力减少约４０％,其对５－甲基四氢叶酸的摄入率减少逾８０％．这主要是由于细胞质膜中胆固醇和神经鞘脂类含量减少,从而导致膜内ＧＰＩＦＲ结合叶酸功能降低及ＧＰＩＦＲ摄入叶酸的内化过程障碍所致．其详细作用机制尚待进一步研究

The effects of naphthalene on the ultrastructure of the hepatopancreas of the fiddler crab, Uca minax

The hepatopancreas of the red-jointed fiddler crab, Uca minax, is a bilateral evagination of the midgut, composed of numerous blind-ending tubules. Groups of these tubules empty into collecting ducts which join to form the main hepatopancreatic duct. Ultrastructural examination of tubules from the hepatopancreas of adult fiddler crabs revealed four major cell types, designated as E, R, B, and F cells. The E cells were found at the apex of the tubule and were assumed to serve as meristematic tissue. The R cells were most numerous and were scattered along the length of the tubule. Characterized by extensive smooth and rough endoplasmic reticulum and abundant lipid and glycogen reserves, the R cell was assumed to function in absorption and storage of the organic products of digestion. The B cells were recognized by the presence of a single, large apical vacuole that likely functioned in the secretion of digestive enzymes into the lumen of the hepatopancreas. The F cells, which contained extensive amounts of rough endoplasmic reticulum, were believed to be responsible for the synthesis of digestive enzymes. Electron microscopy of the hepatopancreas of crabs exposed to naphthalene for 5 days revealed that those cells with abundant membrane lipids (F cells) and abundant storage lipids (R cells) were most altered while those cells having little membrane or storage lipids (B and E cells) were only slightly altered. Furthermore, alterations in the F and R cells were not uniform along the length of the tubule, but increased in severity toward the proximal end.

Seasonal patterns of food availability: influences on the reproductive output and body condition of the herbivorous crab Grapsus albolineatus

 Rocky shores in Hong Kong experience marked seasonal differences in climate resulting in seasonal changes in macroalgal assemblages. The tropical rocky shore crab, Grapsus albolineatus, feeds selectively on filamentous algae through the year but the abundance of these algae and foliose algae is greatly reduced during the summer when encrusting algae dominate the shores and the crab’s diet. This switch in diet may have implications for the reproductive output of this crab. Standing crop of algae varied greatly through the year, peaking in March and April, when the nutritional quality of the algae was also highest. On the shore, available algal protein and energy were both lowest in July. The crab selected an algal diet rich in nutrients than that available to it on the shore for all months of the year except September to December for protein, and July and August for energy. The input of animal matter considerably increased the protein content of the diet, but made little difference to the energy content. Growth and body condition were greatest during March and June, coinciding with the peak in algal biomass. Storage of nutrients in the hepatopancreas of G. albolineatus commenced in November, coinciding with the increase in biomass and quality of algae on the shores, and then, peaking in May and June, these nutrients were utilised by the reproductive organs during the reproductive season which ran from April to November. The middle of the reproductive season coincided with the period when the standing crop of algae on the shore was at its lowest levels and poorest quality. Cycles of growth, reproduction and storage in G. albolineatus appear to be directly influenced by seasonal patterns of algal food availability. Nutrient storage in the hepatopancreas, during periods when food is nutritionally rich and is most abundant, does not guarantee reproductive success of the crab, but appears to be a prerequisite. Selection of an optimal diet (energy- and protein-rich) in a seasonal environment by ingesting abundant nutrient-rich algal species and the opportunistic consumption of animal matter strongly influences growth and reproductive output of G. albolineatus.

OBSERVATIONS ON THE FINE STRUCTURE OF LUTEIN CELLS : II. The Effects of Hypophysectomy and Mammotrophic Hormone in the Rat

Corpus luteum formation was induced in 26-day-old rats which were subsequently hypophysectomized and injected with mammotrophic hormone (MH, LTH). Sections of corpora lutea from these animals were examined with the electron microscope and compared with similarly prepared (Caulfield's fixed, Araldite embedded) corpora from normal pregnancy and from controls, the latter consisting of corpora prior to hypophysectomy and corpora from uninjected rats 7 to 14 days after hypophysectomy. Lutein cells from corpora lutea of injected animals and of normal pregnancy are characterized by abundant, tortuous, tubular agranular endoplasmic reticulum and by mitochondria, many of which are disc-shaped with dense matrices and both villiform and lamelliform cristae. The endoplasmic reticulum is most abundant in lutein cells from pregnant animals, in which cells it is in the form of thin, highly tortuous tubules. The form of the lipid droplets seen in cells of stimulated animals varies greatly. Marginal foldings of the lutein cells on the perivascular space were found in all instances. Lutein cells from hypophysectomized animals have a less highly developed agranular endoplasmic reticulum. The mitochondria have irregular outlines and a relatively lucid matrix. The lipid droplets in these cells show less tendency to be extracted, but are not so large or abundant as in the cells of onset controls. Granules believed to contain lipid pigments are common in the lutein cells of these control animals. It is suggested that lutein cells from corpora lutea which are actively secreting progesterone may be readily distinguished from lutein cells from non-active corpora by means of the multiple characteristics enumerated. It is further suggested that mammotrophic hormone has a general effect on the metabolism of lutein cells rather than solely affecting a specific organelle, the abundance or composition of which may be the limiting factor in the production of progesterone.     

BIOCHEMICAL AND ULTRASTRUCTURAL ASPECTS OF CA2+ TRANSPORT BY MITOCHONDRIA OF THE HEPATOPANCREAS OF THE BLUE CRAB CALLINECTES SAPIDUS

Mitochondria isolated from the hepatopancreas of the blue crab Callinectes sapidus show up to 12-fold stimulation of respiration on addition of Ca²⁺, which is accompanied by Ca²⁺ accumulation (Ca²⁺:site = 1.9) and H⁺ ejection (H⁺:Ca²⁺ = 0.85). Sr²⁺ and Mn²⁺ are also accumulated; Mg²⁺ is not. A strongly hypertonic medium (383 mosM), Mg²⁺, and phosphate are required for maximal Ca²⁺ uptake. Ca²⁺ uptake takes precedence over oxidative phosphorylation of ADP for respiratory energy. Once Ca²⁺ is accumulated by the crab mitochondria, it is stable and only very slowly released, even by uncoupling agents. ATP hydrolysis also supports Ca²⁺ uptake. Respiration-inhibited crab hepatopancreas mitochondria show both high-affinity and low-affinity Ca²⁺-binding sites, which are inactive in the presence of uncoupling agents. Crab hepatopancreas mitochondria have an enormous capacity for accumulation of Ca²⁺, up to 5,500 ng-atoms Ca²⁺ per mg protein, with an equivalent amount of phosphate. Freshly isolated mitochondria contain very large amounts of Ca²⁺, Mg²⁺, phosphate, K⁺, and Na⁺; their high Ca²⁺ content is a reflection of the vary large amount of extra-mitochondrial Ca²⁺ in the whole tissue. Electron microscopy of crab mitochondria loaded with Ca²⁺ and phosphate showed large electron-dense deposits, presumably of precipitated calcium phosphate. They consisted of bundles of needle-like crystals, whereas Ca²⁺-loaded rat liver mitochondria show only amorphous deposits of calcium phosphate under similar conditions. The very pronounced capacity of crab hepatopancreas mitochondria for transport of Ca²⁺ appears to be adapted to a role in the storage and release of Ca²⁺ during the molting cycle of this crustacean.     

Thematic review series: adipocyte biology. The perilipin family of structural lipid droplet proteins: stabilization of lipid droplets and control of lipolysis

The majority of eukaryotic cells synthesize neutral lipids and package them into cytosolic lipid droplets. In vertebrates, triacylglycerol-rich lipid droplets of adipocytes provide a major energy storage depot for the body, whereas cholesteryl ester-rich droplets of many other cells provide building materials for local membrane synthesis and repair. These lipid droplets are coated with one or more of five members of the perilipin family of proteins: adipophilin, TIP47, OXPAT/MLDP, S3-12, and perilipin. Members of this family share varying levels of sequence similarity, lipid droplet association, and functions in stabilizing lipid droplets. The most highly studied member of the family, perilipin, is the most abundant protein on the surfaces of adipocyte lipid droplets, and the major substrate for cAMP-dependent protein kinase [protein kinase A (PKA)] in lipolytically stimulated adipocytes. Perilipin serves important functions in the regulation of basal and hormonally stimulated lipolysis. Under basal conditions, perilipin restricts the access of cytosolic lipases to lipid droplets and thus promotes triacylglycerol storage. In times of energy deficit, perilipin is phosphorylated by PKA and facilitates maximal lipolysis by hormone-sensitive lipase and adipose triglyceride lipase. A model is discussed whereby perilipin serves as a dynamic scaffold to coordinate the access of enzymes to the lipid droplet in a manner that is responsive to the metabolic status of the adipocyte.     

Hormone-induced differentiation of agranular endoplasmic reticulum in the interstitial cells of the mouse testis

Summary The administration of chorionic gonadotrophin to prepuberal mice results in precocious maturation of the testicular interstitial cells. The cytoplasm of the nine-day-old cells is characterized by abundant lipid droplets, large numbers of glycogen particles and mitochondria. By contrast, the membranous organelles are poorly developed.Human chorionic gonadotrophin brings about mobilization of lipid droplets and glycogen particles, and differentiation of large areas of agranular endoplasmic reticulum.The present observations are in agreement with the reports that human chorionic gonadotrophin increases the secretion of testosterone and that the agranular endoplasmic reticulum is the site of storage of steroid and of the enzymes involved in the biosynthesis of androgens.     

Development of primary cell culture from <Emphasis Type="Italic">Scylla serrata</Emphasis>

This paper reports for the first time, the Primary cell culture of hepatopancreas from edible crab Scylla serrata using crab saline, L-15 (Leibovitz), 1 × L-15 + crab saline, 2 × L-15 + crab saline, 3 × L-15 and citrate buffer without any serum. We could isolate and maintain E (Embryonalzellen), F (Fibrenzellen), B (Blasenzellen), R (Restzellen) and G (Granular cells). Upon seeding the hepatopancreatic E, F, B, and R cells showed different survival pattern over time than granular cells. A modified L-15 (3×) medium supported the best survival of hepatopancreatic E, F B, and R cells in in-vitro culture. However granular cells could be maintained for 184 days with L-15 (1×) + crab saline. Fetal bovine serum was not effective additive and hampered cell viability in present study.     

Proteomic analysis of proteins associated with lipid droplets of basal and lipolytically stimulated 3T3-L1 adipocytes

Adipocytes hold the body's major energy reserve as triacylglycerols packaged in large lipid droplets. Perilipins, the most abundant proteins on these lipid droplets, play a critical role in facilitating both triacylglycerol storage and hydrolysis. The stimulation of lipolysis by beta-adrenergic agonists triggers rapid phosphorylation of perilipin and translocation of hormone-sensitive lipase to the surfaces of lipid droplets and more gradual fragmentation and dispersion of micro-lipid droplets. Because few lipid droplet-associated proteins have been identified in adipocytes, we isolated lipid droplets from basal and lipolytically stimulated 3T3-L1 adipocytes and identified the component proteins by mass spectrometry. Structural proteins identified in both preparations include perilipin, S3-12, vimentin, and TIP47; in contrast, adipophilin, caveolin-1, and tubulin selectively localized to droplets in lipolytically stimulated cells. Lipid metabolic enzymes identified in both preparations include hormone-sensitive lipase, lanosterol synthase, NAD(P)-dependent steroid dehydrogenase-like protein, acyl-CoA synthetase, long chain family member (ACSL) 1, and CGI-58. 17-beta-Hydroxysteroid dehydrogenase, type 7, was identified only in basal preparations, whereas ACSL3 and 4 and two short-chain reductase/dehydrogenases were identified on droplets from lipolytically stimulated cells. Additionally, both preparations contained FSP27, ribophorin I, EHD2, diaphorase I, and ancient ubiquitous protein. Basal preparations contained CGI-49, whereas lipid droplets from lipolytically stimulated cells contained several Rab GTPases and tumor protein D54. A close association of mitochondria with lipid droplets was suggested by the identification of pyruvate carboxylase, prohibitin, and a subunit of ATP synthase in the preparations. Thus, adipocyte lipid droplets contain specific structural proteins as well as lipid metabolic enzymes; the structural reorganization of lipid droplets in response to the hormonal stimulation of lipolysis is accompanied by increases in the relative mass of several proteins and the recruitment of additional proteins.
