Effect of angiotensin II on RNA synthesis by isolated nuclei 总被引:5,自引:0,他引:5
Peptide hormones are known to bind to cell surface receptors as the first step in the generation of their effects on target tissues. However, it remains uncertain whether internalized hormone might also play a role in the production of longterm or trophic effects of peptide hormones. Because the peptide hormone angiotensin II appears to be internalized by target cells, we studied the effect of this peptide on isolated hepatic nuclei. At both 5 X 10(-7)M and 5 X 10(-9)M, angiotensin II significantly increased RNA synthesis. This effect was not mimicked by Sar1-Ala8-angiotensin II (saralasin) or the unrelated nonapeptide teprotide. 相似文献

An actinomycete wild strain PM0626271 (= MTCC 5447), producing novel antibacterial compounds, was isolated from soil collected from Antarctica. The taxonomic status of the isolate was established by polyphasic approach. Scanning electron microscopy observations and the presence of LL‐Diaminopimelic acid in the cell wall hydrolysate confirmed the genus Streptomyces. Analysis of 16S rRNA gene sequence showed highest sequence similarity to Streptomyces radiopugnans (99%). The phylogenetic tree constructed using near complete 16S rRNA gene sequences of the isolate and closely related strains revealed that although the isolate fell within the S. radiopugnans gene subclade, it was allocated a different branch in the phylogenetic tree, separating it from the majority of the radiopugnans strains. Similar to type strain, S. radiopugnans R97T, the Antarctica isolate displayed thermo tolerance as well as resistance to 60Co gamma radiation, up to the dose of 15 kGy. However, media and salt tolerance studies revealed that, unlike the type strain, this isolate needed higher salinity for its growth. This is the first report of S. radiopugnans isolated from the Antarctica region. The GenBank/EMBL/DDBJ accession number for the 16S rRNA gene sequence of Streptomyces radiopugnans MTCC 5447 is JQ723477 .
Significance and Impact of the Study
The study presents the first report of isolation of Streptomyces radiopugnans from Antarctica. To date, there is only one publication regarding S. radiopugnans R97T isolated from radiation‐polluted soil. Like the type strain, Antarctica isolate was thermotolerant and radiotolerant, but in addition, it required salts for growth and did not degrade phenol. We envisaged that metabolic pattern of the same species varies based on acclimatization in its native ecological habitat. Additionally, Antarctica isolate had produced novel antibacterial compounds (patent‐US2012/0156295). The study highlighted that least explored extreme regions like Antarctica are rich resources of novel microbial strains producing novel bioactive compounds. 相似文献4.

In an earlier report, we had shown a 150-kDa protein termed as M150, isolated from the surface of activated macrophages, to possess costimulatory activity for CD4(+) T cells. Significantly, this protein was found to specifically elicit Th1 responses. In this study, we characterize M150, which belongs to a unique subset of the lysosome-associated membrane protein-1 glycoprotein. Interestingly, the costimulatory activity of M150 depends on its posttranslational modification, which has a distinct glycosylation pattern restricted to macrophages. Furthermore, it has been demonstrated that in addition to stimulating Th1-specific responses, M150 is also capable of driving differentiation of naive CD4(+) T cells into the Th1 subset. This altered posttranslational modification of housekeeping protein appears to represent a novel pathway by which APCs can additionally regulate T cell responses. 相似文献

SUMMARY: Data processing, analysis and visualization (datPAV) is an exploratory tool that allows experimentalist to quickly assess the general characteristics of the data. This platform-independent software is designed as a generic tool to process and visualize data matrices. This tool explores organization of the data, detect errors and support basic statistical analyses. Processed data can be reused whereby different step-by-step data processing/analysis workflows can be created to carry out detailed investigation. The visualization option provides publication-ready graphics. Applications of this tool are demonstrated at the web site for three cases of metabolomics, environmental and hydrodynamic data analysis. AVAILABILITY: datPAV is available free for academic use at http://www.sdwa.nus.edu.sg/datPAV/. 相似文献

Albino rat macrophages and neutrophils, in the presence of fresh normal rat serum as a source of complement, adhered to and promoted killing of Brugia malayi infective larvae in vitro. Eosinophils, by themselves, were marginally cytotoxic at a high cell-target ratio but promoted cytotoxicity when mixed with macrophages. Eosinophil culture supernatants enhanced the macrophage mediated killing of infective larvae. The complement of fresh normal rat serum was found to act by the alternate pathway. Fresh normal rat serum depleted of alternate pathway complement activity by treatment with zymosan A, or of Factor B by heating at 50 C for 20 min, or of Factor D by passing through Sephadex G75 column, failed to promote cell adherence to the parasite. C3 molecules were detected on the surface of infective larvae by immunofluorescence. There was a significant consumption of complement when Brugia malayi infective larvae were incubated in fresh normal rat serum. Albino rat cells were more potent in inducing cytotoxicity to infective larvae in vitro than those from jird or Mastomys natalensis, which may reflect the greater resistance offered by the rat to B. malayi infection. There was much less cellular infiltration on introduction of Brugia malayi infective larvae into the peritoneal cavity of jirds compared to rats and Mastomys natalensis indicating the greater susceptibility of jirds to intraperitoneally induced infections. 相似文献
