美洲蜚蠊机械感受器输出信号的计算机分析

对蜚蠊单个机械感受器诱发反应峰电位的历程及幅度,使用系列分析、栅分析、时序分布、累加密度函数、栅—频分析、特征参数的伪三维隐线显示、峰电位幅度概率密度函数、峰电位间隔概率密度函数等分析方法,获得较多的神经信号间隔编码信息,以揭示刺激和反应之间的复杂关系。峰电位间隔和栅—频分析图由函数经曲线拟合后,分别求得描述其动态过程的时间常数τ_1,τ_2和τ_3,应用上述多种分析显示方法,使研究者更为直观地观察和定量描述刺激—反应间的动态关系。     

单眼剥夺对金黄地鼠视觉中枢GABA神经元分布的影响

用免疫细胞化学技术观察了单眼剥夺后金黄地鼠视觉中枢GABA神经元分布的变化。结果表明:单眼剥夺后,金黄地鼠视皮层和上丘的GABA阳性神经元暂时性增多,但剥夺后六个月,其数目显著减少。在单眼剥夺前和剥夺后侧膝体中GABA阳性神经元数目没有明显差异。剥夺眼对侧视皮层GABA阳性神经元数比剥夺眼同侧视皮层GABA神经元数目少。单眼剥夺后视觉中枢GABA神经元类型及形态与剥夺前没有差别。晚期单眼剥夺也能引起视觉中枢GABA神经元数量和分布的变化。以上结果表明,单眼剥夺后视觉中枢抑制神经元的结构发生了变化。

Purification and characterization of antifreeze proteins from larvae of the beetle Dendroides canadensis

Summary Four antifreeze proteins (AFPs) were purified from larvae of the beetle Dendroides canadensis. The AFPs are similar in amino acid compositions, having high contents of hydrophilic amino acids (45–55 mol%) and cysteine (16 mol% Cys). Approximately half of the Cys residues form disulfide bridges, and both the disulfide bridges and free sulfhydryls are essential for activity. The N-terminals of the AFPs are blocked. The pH optimum of the AFPs is 7.8, but major loss of activity occurred only at very high pH (12.0). The detergents SDS and Triton X-100 did not inactivate the AFPs. Circular dichroism spectra indicate the presence of both and secondary structures in the AFPs, in addition to a large random structure component.Abbreviations AFP antifreeze protein - CD circular dichroism - DTT dithiothreitol - HPLC high pressure liquid chromatography - PAGE polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis - PAS periodic acid Schiff - SDS sodium dodecyl sulfate - TFA trifluoroacetic acid     

The pharmacological characterization of 5-HT3 receptor binding sites in rabbit ileum: Comparison with those in rat ileum and rat brain

We have further characterized the 5-HT₃ receptors in rat and rabbit tissues by evaluating the binding of the 5-HT₃ receptor ligand, [³H]GR67330 to homogenates of rabbit ileum, rat ileum and rat brain (entorhinal cortex). In each tissue specific [³H]GR67330 binding represented a single saturable, high affinity site (K_d = 0.14, 0.18, 0.076 nM in rabbit ileum, rat ileum and rat brain respectively). The densities of sites present in rabbit and rat ileum were similar to that present in rat brain (B_max = 63, 47, 72 fmol/mg protein in rabbit ileum, rat ileum and rat brain respectively).

In each tissue, 5-HT₃ receptor agonists and antagonists potently competed for [³H]GR67330 binding. Derived inhibition constants were similar in rat ileum and brain. However marked differences in IC₅₀s were apparent for rabbit ileum compared with rat brain or ileum. These were most apparent with agonists. Thus, mCPBG [1-(meta-chlorophenylbiguanide)], phenylbiguanide, 5-HT and 2-methyl 5-HT were at least 5 times less potent to inhibit [³H]GR67330 binding in rabbit ileum than rat brain. The most pronounced differences were evident with phenylbiguanide and mCPBG which were 70 and 300 times less potent in the rabbit ileum respectively compared with the rat tissues. These differences were unlikely to be due to depletion effects because tissue combination experiments (rabbit ileum and rat brain) yielded biphasic inhibition curves for phenylbiguanide with affinities for each component similar to those in the individual tissues. Antagonist affinities also varied between the rabbit and rat tissues, although less markedly. Amongst the antagonists, the most marked differences were apparent with SDZ 206–830 and quipazine each being 10 times less potent to inhibit binding to rabbit than rat tissue.

Hill coefficients for inhibition of binding varied with tissue. In rat brain, as previously described for [³H]GR67330, Hill coefficients for agonist (and quipazine) inhibition of binding were greater than unity. This was less marked in rat and rabbit ileum tissues.

The present studies provide further evidence for species variation in 5-HT₃ receptors.
