The changes in cardiac function caused by calcium overload are reviewed. Intracellular Ca2+ may increase in different structures [e.g. sarcoplasmic reticulum (SR), cytoplasm and mitochondria] to an excessive level which induces electrical and mechanical abnormalities in cardiac tissues. The electrical manifestations of Ca2+ overload include arrhythmias caused by oscillatory (Vos) and non-oscillatory (Vex) potentials. The mechanical manifestations include a decrease in force of contraction, contracture and aftercontractions. The underlying mechanisms involve a role of Na+ in electrical abnormalities as a charge carrier in the Na+-Ca2+ exchange and a role of Ca2+ in mechanical toxicity. Ca2+ overload may be induced by an increase in [Na+]i through the inhibition of the Na+-K+ pump (e.g. toxic concentrations of digitalis) or by an increase in Ca2+ load (e.g. catecholamines). The Ca2+ overload is enhanced by fast rates. Purkinje fibers are more susceptible to Ca2+ overload than myocardial fibers, possibly because of their greater Na+ load. If the SR is predominantly Ca2+ overloaded, Vos and fast discharge are induced through an oscillatory release of Ca2+ in diastole from the SR; if the cytoplasm is Ca2+ overloaded, the non-oscillatory Vex tail is induced at negative potentials. The decrease in contractile force by Ca2+ overload appears to be associated with a decrease in high energy phosphates, since it is enhanced by metabolic inhibitors and reduced by metabolic substrates. The ionic currents Ios and Iex underlie Vos and Vex, respectively, both being due to an electrogenic extrusion of Ca2+ through the Na+-Ca2+ exchange. Ios is an oscillatory current due to an oscillatory release of Ca2+ in early diastole from the Ca2+-overloaded SR, and Iex is a non-oscillatory current due to the extrusion of Ca2+ from the Ca2+-overloaded cytoplasm. Ios and Iex can be present singly or simultaneously. An increase in [Ca2+]i appears to be involved in the short- and long-term compensatory mechanisms that tend to maintain cardiac output in physiological and pathological conditions. Eventually, [Ca2+]i may increase to overload levels and contribute to cardiac failure. Experimental evidence suggests that clinical concentrations of digitalis increase force in Ca2+-overloaded cardiac cells by decreasing the inhibition of the Na+-K+ pump by Ca2+, thereby leading to a reduction in Ca2+ overload and to an increase in force of contraction. 相似文献

Bovine adrenal medulla plasma membranes were purified by a differential centrifugation procedure using sucrose and Urografin discontinuous density gradients; the membranes were enriched 10-12-fold in acetylcholinesterase activity and [3H]ouabain binding sites. Specific (+)-[3H]PN200-110 binding to these membranes amounted to 90% of total binding and was saturable and of high affinity (KD = 41 pM; Bmax = 119 fmol/mg of protein) with a Hill coefficient close to 1, a result suggesting the presence of a single, homogeneous population of dihydropyridine receptors. The association and dissociation rate constants were, respectively, 7.5 X 108 M-1 min-1 and 0.023 min-1. Unlabeled (+)-PN200-110 displaced (+)-[3H]PN200-110 binding with a potency 100-fold higher than (-)-PN200-110 (IC50,0.5 and 45nM, respectively). Although the two enantiomers of BAY K 8644 completely displaced (+)-[3H]PN200-110 binding, they exhibited no stereoselectivity (IC50, 69 and 83 nM,respectively). Whereas ( +/- )-nitrendipine very potently displaced (+)-[3H]PN200-110 binding (IC50 = 1.3 nM) verapamil and cinnarizine displaced the binding by only 30 and 40% at 1 microM, and diltiazem increased it by 20% at 10 microM. [3H]Ouabain bound to plasma membranes with a KD of 34 nM and a Bmax of 9.75 pmol/mg of protein, a figure 80-fold higher than the Bmax for (+)-PN200-110. [3H]Ouabain also bound to intact chromaffin cells with a Bmax of 244 fmol/10(6) cells.(ABSTRACT TRUNCATED AT 250 WORDS) 相似文献

Addition of β-cyclodextrin (β-CD) polymer during the biotransformation of digitoxin into digoxin using cell suspension cultures
ofDigitalis lanata enhanced the conversion yield. Digitoxin showed better adsorption to CD polymer compared to digoxin, so that the optimization
of addition time was found to be necessary. In the case of adding CD polymer 24 hours after the feeding of substrate digitoxin,
the highest digoxin production could be achieved. At this period, digitoxin was almost consumed by cells and productivity
was proportionally enhanced according as the amount of substrate was increased. Immobilization of CD polymer did not promote
the biotransformation. When 3.33 g/L of CD polymer was added, 90% and 50% of digitoxin and digoxin was adsorbed respectively.
Thus selective inclusion complex formation could be expected. Adsorption rate was found to be rapid and saturation was obtained
within 10 hours of contact. 相似文献

Δ5-3β-Ηydroxysteroid dehydrogenase (Δ5-3β-HSD; EC 1.1.1.145), an enzyme converting pregn-5-ene-3β-ol-20-one (pregnenolone) to pregn-5-ene-3,20-dione (isoprogesterone),
was isolated from the soluble fraction of suspension-cultured cells of Digitalis lanata L. strain VIII. Starting with acetone dry powder the enzyme was purified in three steps using column chromatography on Fractogel-TSK
DEAE, hydroxyapatite and Sephacryl G-200. Fractions with highest Δ5-3β-HSD activity were separated by sodium dodecyl sulfate-polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis. After in-situ digestion the
resulting bands were sequenced N-terminally. The 29-kDa band yielded three fragments with high sequence homology to members
of the superfamily of short-chain dehydrogenases/reductases. High similarity was found to microbial hydroxysteroid dehydrogenases.
The band may therefore represent the Δ5-3β-HSD. The purified enzyme was characterized with respect to kinetic parameters, substrate specificity and localization.
The function of the enzyme in steroid metabolism is discussed.

Stress-induced expression of cyclophilins in proembryonic masses of Digitalis lanata does not protect against freezing/thawing stress 总被引:2,自引:0,他引:2

Using proembryonic masses (PEMs) of Digitalis lanata Erh., it was demonstrated that cold, hormonal or osmotic stress, which increased freezing tolerance during cryopreservation,
induced an increasing level of two peptidyl-prolyl-cis/trans-isomerases (PPIases). The difference in pI (9.2 ± 0.2 and 9.5 ± 0.2, ±SD; n = 3) allowed the separation of the two enzymes by free-flow isoelectrophoresis. Both were inhibited by cyclosporin A and
thus belong to the cyclophilin family of PPIases. The enzymes differed slightly in their substrate specificity and their relative
molecular masses of 18038 ± 4 Da (D. lanataCyp18.0) and 18132 ± 3 Da (D. lanataCyp18.1). Both cyclophilins were blocked N-terminally. Partial internal amino acid sequences from the two cyclophilins, with
a length of 34 amino acids, displayed 82% sequence identity to each other. Pretreatment of PEMs with abscisic acid, sorbitol
or a combination of both substances led to a 270 ± 30% elevation of the total cytosolic cyclophilin concentration determined
with a cyclophylin affinity sensor. During the first 4 d of pretreatment, the total PPIase activity was enhanced up to 230 ± SD%
compared with the control culture. The lag phase between maximal PPIase concentration after 4 d of pretreatment and maximal
effect of freezing tolerance after 10 d of pretreatment indicated that increasing levels of cytosolic PPIases may be necessary
to overcome the stress induced by hormones and osmotica during pretreatment but not to protect against freezing/thawing stress.

RAPD variation within and among natural populations of outcrossing willow-leaved foxglove (Digitalis obscura L.) 总被引:2,自引:0,他引:2
S. G. Nebauer L. del Castillo-Agudo J. Segura 《TAG. Theoretical and applied genetics. Theoretische und angewandte Genetik》1999,98(6-7):985-994
Random amplified polymorphic DNA (RAPD) markers were used to assess levels and patterns of genetic diversity in Digitalis obscura L. (Scrophulariaceae), an outcrossing cardenolide-producing medicinal plant species. A total of 50 plants from six natural
populations on the Iberian Peninsula were analysed by six arbitrarily chosen decamer primers resulting in 96 highly reproducible
RAPD bands. To avoid bias in parameter estimation, analyses of population genetic structure were restricted to bands (35 of
96) whose observed frequencies were less than 1–3/n in each population. The analysis of molecular variance (AMOVA) with distances among individuals corrected for the dominant
nature of RAPDs (genotypic analysis) showed that most of the variation (84.8%) occurred among individuals within populations,
which is expected for an outcrossing organism. Of the remaining variance, 9.7% was attributed to differences between regions,
and 5.5% for differences among populations within regions. Estimates of the Wright, Weir and Cockerham and Lynch and Milligan
FST from null-allele frequencies corroborated AMOVA partitioning and provided significant evidence for population differentiation
in D. obscura. A non-parametric test for the homogeneity of molecular variance (HOMOVA) also showed significant differences in the amount
of genetic variability present in the six populations. UPGMA cluster analyses, based on Apostol genetic distance, revealed
grouping of some geographically proximate populations. Nevertheless, a Mantel test did not give a significant correlation
between geographic and genetic distances. This is the first report of the partitioning of genetic variability within and between
populations of D. obscura and provides important baseline data for optimising sampling strategies and for conserving the genetic resources of this
medicinal species.

Is there evidence for the post‐invasion evolution of increased size among invasive plant species? 总被引:10,自引:1,他引:9
Many plant species grow taller and have higher reproductive capacity where they are nonindigenous invaders than where they are native components of the flora. Traditionally, it has been accepted that this is a plastic response to a benign environment, though recently this assumption has been challenged and a genetic basis for increased plant size has been invoked. We tested the hypothesis that the increased size of certain weed species is genetically, rather than environmentally, based. A common environment growth experiment revealed no significant differences in the size of Carduus nutans , Digitalis purpurea , Echium vulgare or Senecio jacobaea sampled from alien (Australia and New Zealand) or native (Britain and continental Europe) habitats. We conclude that post-invasion genetic changes associated with increased size may be unusual and that the phenomenon, where it occurs, generally reflects a plastic response to a novel environment. 相似文献
