The distribution of i.v. injected 125I-labeled epidermal growth factor (EGF) was examined in the rat. The uptake of radioactivity was examined for the following tissues: liver, kidney, skin, stomach, small intestine, colon, brain, submandibular gland, lung, spleen, and testis. 125I-EGF was cleared from the circulation within minutes. At 2.5 min after the injection only 7% of the label was left in the blood. Most of the label was found in the liver (52%), the kidneys (14%), the small intestine (11%) and the skin (7%). The other organs examined contained 1% or less of the radioactivity. The uptake of 125I-EGF per g tissue was markedly higher for the liver and kidneys than for the rest of the organs. By autoradiography 125I-EGF was found in the peripheral parts of the classical liver lobule, in the proximal tubules of the kidneys, in the surface epithelium of the stomach, and in the surface epithelium of the villi in the small intestine. In conclusion the present study showed that small doses of homologous EGF was cleared from the circulation of rats within minutes, mainly by the liver, the kidneys, and the small intestine.  相似文献

We studied, by whole-body autoradiography, the distribution of exogenously administered renal renin in rat. Rat renal renin was completely purified and labeled with 125I ([125I]-renin) and was then injected into the tail veins of conscious rats at a dose of 30 microCi, 430 ng. After various intervals, rats were killed by an overdose of ether, the whole body rapidly frozen in acetone-dry ice, and autoradiography performed on sagittal whole-body sections. To remove breakdown products ([125I]-tyrosine and free 125I) from [125I]-renin, sections were treated with perchloric acid solution. The main accumulation of [125I]-renin acid-insoluble radioactivity was observed in liver and renal cortex. The accumulation in these organs was already evident 2 min after the injection, reached a maximum level by 15 min, then gradually decreased. A small amount of [125I]-renin was also evident in spleen, bone marrow, and adrenal gland. Thirty min after the injection, radioactivity began to appear in the thyroid gland, stomach, and small intestine, but disappeared with acid treatment, except in the thyroid. Radioactivity was negligible in other organs including brain, submaxillary gland, lung, heart, and testis. These autoradiographs clearly demonstrate that exogenously administered renal renin is distributed mainly in the liver and renal cortex.  相似文献

1. The uptake of 125I-labelled high density lipoproteins (HDL) in various organs of the rat was determined after an intravenous injection. The uptake of 125I-labelled polyvinylpyrrolidone in the same organs was determined in order to assess uptake by fluid endocytosis. The uptake/organ was highest for the liver. The adrenals showed the highest uptake/unit weight of the organs studied. The liver, the kidneys and the spleen showed comparable values for uptake/g of tissue. The uptake of 125I-labelled HDL exceeded by far that of 125I-labelled polyvinylpyrrolidone in the liver, the kidneys, the spleen and the adrenals, indicating that the uptake of 125I-labelled HDL was mediated by adsorptive endocytosis. 2. The in vivo uptake of 125I-labelled HDL was determined in purified hepatocytes and non-parenchymal cells prepared by collagenase perfusion of livers from animals after intravenous injections of 125I-labelled HDL. When expressed per cell, the hepatocytes and the non-parenchymal liver cells took up about the same amount of 125I-labelled HDL. 3. The in vitro uptake and degradation of 125I-labelled HDL in isolated rat hepatocytes was studied. The uptake at increasing concentrations of 125I-labelled HDL was saturable indicating uptake mediated through binding sites. 125I-labelled HDL were easily degraded by contaminating proteases from the perfusate. 4. Subcellular fractionation by isopycnic centrifugation indicated that the accumulation of 125I-labelled HDL did not take place in the lysosomes, but rather on the plasma membrane and possibly in the endosomes (phagosomes). 5. 125I-labelled HDL were internalized into the cells and degraded in the lysosomes. Leupetin and chloroquine, inhibitors of the lysosomal function effectively inhibited the formation of 125I-labelled acid-soluble radioactivity by the cells. Chloroquine, but not the protease inhibitor leupeptin, reduced the hydrolysis of the cholesteryl ester moiety of HDL.  相似文献

Highly purified submaxillary renin (SR) labeled with 125I was injected intravascularly into adult male mice following removal of submaxillary glands and kidneys, and the disappearance of this labeled SR from the circulating vascular volume was studied on the basis of a two compartment system. There was a fast and a slow component to the disappearance curves. Mean half-times of the fast and slow component were 12.4 +/- 0.4 min and 86 +/- 3 min in sialoadenectomized mice, while in mice whose submaxillary glands and kidneys were removed the half-times were 14.7 +/- 0.4 min and 108 +/- 7 min, respectively. The uptake of radioactivity by various organs of the mouse was also measured. Accumulation of radioactivity occurred in the kidneys and liver. Only trace amounts of radioactivity were found in the other organs. The findings suggest that the fast component of the disappearance curve was probably due to equilibration of the injected labeled SR in the circulation. However, the fast component may be related to some extent to the rapid uptake of labeled SR by the kidneys. The half-time of the slow component may represent the true halflife of SR in mice, since a significant reciprocal relationship between the half-times of the slow component and metabolic rate constant k10 was observed both in sialoadenectomized mice and in nephrectomized-sialoadenectomized mice.  相似文献

Enterotoxin from Clostridium perfringens was shown to retain its biological activity after labelling with 125I. When injected intravenously into mice and rats, most of the radioactivity in the organs was present in the form of intact toxin. Studies of the tissue distribution of labelled enterotoxin showed the largest amounts in the liver, where the activity reached a maximum 10--15 min after administration. The highest concentration per g tissue was found in liver and kidneys. The radioactivity was excreted in the urine as a mixture of intact labelled toxin and low molecular weight degradation products. In vitro studies with purified parenchymal liver cells showed rapid release of lactate dehydrogenase (LDH) during treatment with enterotoxin, thus indicating severe membrane damage.  相似文献

We have labelled the rat vitamin D binding protein (DBP), DBP-actin and rat albumin with 125I-tyramine-cellobiose (125I-TC). In contrast with traditional 125I-labelling techniques where degraded radioactive metabolites are released into plasma, the 125I-TC moiety is trapped intracellularly in the tissues, where the degradation of the labelled proteins takes place. By using this labelling method, the catabolism of proteins can be studied in vivo. In this study we have used this labelling technique to compare the tissue uptake and degradation of DBP, DBP-actin and albumin in the rat. DBP-actin was cleared from plasma at a considerably faster rate than DBP. After intravenous injection of labelled DBP-actin complex, 48% of the radioactive dose was recovered in the liver after 30 min, compared with 14% when labelled DBP was administered. Only small amounts of DBP-actin complex were recovered in the kidneys. In contrast with the results obtained with DBP-actin complex, liver and kidneys contributed about equally in the uptake and degradation of DBP determined 24 h after the injection. When labelled DBP was compared with labelled albumin, the amount of radioactivity taken up by the liver and kidneys by 24 h after the injection was 2 and 5 times higher respectively. In conclusion, liver and kidneys are the major organs for catabolism of DBP in the rat. Furthermore, binding of actin to DBP enhances the clearance of DBP from circulation as well as its uptake by the liver.  相似文献

Polymicrobial sepsis is characterized by an early, hyperdynamic phase followed by a late, hypodynamic phase. Although upregulation of adrenomedullin (ADM), a novel potent vasodilatory peptide, plays an important role in producing cardiovascular responses during the progression of sepsis, it remains unknown whether the clearance of this peptide is altered under such conditions. To determine this, male adult rats were subjected to sepsis by cecal ligation and puncture (CLP) followed by fluid resuscitation. At 5 h (i.e., the hyperdynamic phase of sepsis) or 20 h (the hypodynamic phase) after CLP, the animals were injected with 125I-labeled ADM through the jugular vein. Blood and tissue samples (including the lungs, kidneys, gastrointestinal tract, pancreas, spleen, mesentery, liver, brain, skeletal muscle, heart, and skin) were harvested 30 min after the injection and the radioactivity was determined. The results indicate that there were no significant alterations in tissue [125I]ADM distribution at 5 h after CLP compared to shams. At 20 h after CLP, however, there was a significant decrease in radioactivity in the lungs. In contrast, a significant increase of radioactivity was observed in all other organs except the liver and kidneys. The pulmonary distribution of [125I]ADM was found to be far greater than in any other organs tested, irrespective of the effect of sepsis. In separate groups of animals, injection of [125I]ADM into the left ventricle resulted in a significant decrease in radioactivity in the lungs of both sham and septic animals at 20 h after surgery. These results suggest that the lungs are the primary site of ADM clearance, which is significantly diminished during the late stage of sepsis. The decreased clearance of ADM by the lungs may play an important role in maintaining the sustained levels of plasma ADM under such conditions.  相似文献

Hepatic lipase is proposed to have a role in steroidogenesis through its involvement in the metabolism of high density lipoproteins. We examined the activity, synthesis, distribution, and uptake of this enzyme and assessed the content of its mRNA in luteinized ovaries. We found that during peak steroidogenesis, ovaries of pregnant mare's serum gonadotropin-human chorionic gonadotropin-treated immature rats contained heparin-releasable hepatic lipase-like activity which was neutralized in a dose-dependent manner by purified antibodies to hepatic lipase isolated from post-heparin perfusates of rat livers. Quantitative immunoelectron microscopy revealed that ovarian hepatic lipase occurred along endothelial cells and was 3-fold more abundant in blood vessels of corpora lutea than those of stroma. However, hepatic lipase was not synthesized by the ovary since radiolabeled enzyme was not immunoisolated from the medium of dispersed luteinized granulosa cells incubated with [35S]methionine whereas it was present in the medium of control cells (hepatocytes). Similarly, hepatic lipase mRNA was detectable in liver but not ovaries or kidneys by Northern or slot blot analyses or by the polymerase chain reaction. Finally, 125I-labeled hepatic lipase injected into tail veins was quickly cleared from the systemic circulation, accumulating in liver, ovaries, kidneys, and spleen. Subsequent heparin injection caused rapid reappearance of radioactivity in the bloodstream and a marked decline of radiolabel in liver and ovaries but a modest decrease of that in kidneys and none in spleen. Exogenous 125I-bovine serum albumin also accumulated in all four organs but was not displaced from liver or ovaries by subsequent administration of heparin. Taken together, these data suggest that steroidogenically active ovaries possess but do not synthesize hepatic lipase. Instead, hepatic lipase originating elsewhere, presumably in the liver, is accumulated from the circulation at heparin-sensitive sites in ovarian blood vessels.  相似文献

The 45 kDa epidermal growth factor (EGF-(45 kDa)) has been purified from rat urine. We have investigated the distribution and the processing of i.v. injected 125I-labeled EGF-(45 kDa) in the rat. 2.5 min after the i.v. injection only 12% of the label remained in the blood. Most of the label was found in the liver (54%), in the kidneys (7%) and in the skin (4%). The submandibular glands, stomach, small intestine, colon, spleen and lungs contained 1% or less of the radioactivity. Some of the 125I-EGF-(45 kDa) was processed to 125I-EGF-(6 kDa) immunoreactivity in the liver and in the kidneys. The kidneys excreted 125I-EGF-(45 kDa) in the urine, but we were not able to demonstrate 125I-EGF-(6 kDa) in urine. In conclusion, this study shows that homologous EGF-(45 kDa) is cleared from the circulation of rats within a few minutes, mainly by the liver and the kidneys. In vivo both the liver and the kidneys are able to process some of the EGF-(45 kDa) to EGF-(6 kDa) immunoreactivity.  相似文献

In order to study the kinetics of insulin degradation in the kidneys and liver, insulin was labelled by a trapped-label procedure and injected into rats. In contrast to conventional 125I-insulin, the trapped-label preparation allows quantitative measurements of the extent of degradation in vivo because the final degradation products do not leave the cells. One hour after injection, the amount of radioactivity in the kidneys from a trace dose of trapped-label insulin was 10 times higher that from conventionally labelled insulin; over 80% of the increase was due to low molecular weight degradation products which were retained in the kidneys. The amount of acid-precipitable radioactivity in the blood was the same for both labelled preparations, indicating that their rates of clearance were similar. In the kidney, we detected no degradation products of molecular weight intermediate between intact insulin and the end products of proteolysis. After 2 h, 33% of the injected dose remained in the kidneys and only 13% in the liver. Over 80% of the renal radioactivity was sedimentable in an isotonic density gradient, indicating that intact insulin, as well as degradation products in the cells, were enclosed within membrane-bound vesicles.  相似文献

1-(2-Fluoro-4-iodo-2,4-dideoxy-beta-L-xylopyranosyl)-2-nitroimidazole (FIAZP) has been synthesized and labeled with radioiodine (125I). Radioiodinated FIAZP is one of a series of sugar-coupled 2-nitroimidazoles developed in our laboratory as probes for noninvasive scintigraphic assessment of tumor hypoxia. An in vivo biodistribution study with [125I]FIAZP in the murine BALB/c EMT-6 tumor model showed a tumor-to-blood ratio of 6, 24 h after injection, with 0.5% of the injected dose present per gram of tumor. These values are several times higher than the respective ratios and distribution values in any of the organs, with the exception of liver. Radioactivity from tissues other than tumor and liver declined with time, following the decline of blood radioactivity. Rapid whole-body elimination of radioactivity was observed (> 96% in 24 h). The thyroid showed little uptake of radioactivity, indicating minimal in vivo deiodination. 1-(2-Fluoro-4-iodo-2,4-dideoxy-beta-L-xylopranosyl)-2-nitroimidazo le appears to undergo hypoxia-dependent binding in tumor tissue at levels comparable to those of other sugar-coupled 2-nitroimidazoles. The potential for imaging with this compound is discussed.  相似文献

Immunohistochemical studies of the hyaluronan (HA)-receptor (R), originally found on liver endothelial cells (LEC) and related to the intercellular adhesion molecule 1 (ICAM-1), showed that polyclonal antibodies against HARLEC (HA receptor on LEC) also stain structures in mouse mastocytomas, mainly vessels. To test if intravenously administered HA might target the tumour receptorsin vivo, mice carrying an inoculated mastocytoma in one hind leg muscle were injected in the tail vein with125I-tyrosine (T)-labelled HA and killed 75 min after injection when organs and tissues were checked for radioactivity. When doses exceeding the binding capacity of the liver were injected, a significant increase in radioactivity (up to five-fold) within the tumour tissue was found. The weight adjusted difference between control and tumour tissue was greater for smaller tumours, probably due to necrosis in the larger. HA-staining of tumours from animals receiving125I-T-HA, showed HA in areas that also stained weakly for ICAM-1 using monoclonal antibodies. ICAM-1 staining was dramatically increased after hyaluronidase treatment of the sections, indicating that the HA is bound to these receptors and thereby blocks antibody recognition.Abbreviations ICAM-1 intercellular adhesion molecule 1 - HA hyaluronan - HARLEC hyaluronan receptor on liver endothelial cells - MW molecular weight  相似文献

At 5 min after intravenous injection, both 125I-labelled human somatotropin and 125I-labelled bovine somatotropin were concentrated in rat liver and kidney. When the labelled hormones were administered along with an excess of the corresponding unlabelled hormone, a significant decrease of the uptake was observed in the liver, but not in the kidney. Study of the subcellular distribution of radioiodinated somatotropins in liver revealed that most of the radioactivity was specifically concentrated in the microsomal fraction. In contrast, the kidney fraction that accounted for most of the radioactivity was the 100 000 g supernatant. After solubilization, with 1% (w/v) Triton X-100, of the microsomal fractions obtained from both organs, the radioactive material was analysed by gel filtration on Sepharose CL-6B. By using this approach, it was demonstrated that both 125I-labelled human somatotropin and 125I-labelled bovine somatotropin bind in vivo to proteins present in liver. A small proportion of 125I-labelled human somatotropin was also shown to form complexes with proteins present in kidney. The present results demonstrate that the liver uptake is mainly due to binding of somatotropins to specific proteins, in contrast with the kidney, in which binding to specific sites contributes minimally to the overall uptake.  相似文献

1. Animals fed a high energy ration had bigger body weight, and bigger heart, brain and genitals then animals fed a normal diet, but they had substantially smaller liver, kidneys, adrenals and thyroid glands than the otherwise smaller animals. Restricted feeding did not necessarily produce smaller organ sizes than normal. 2. The yearly variation in organ sizes was astonishingly large whereas the sex differences were rather rare. 3. For organs like liver, kidneys and thyroid glands the conclusion from the results was independent of the method of expressing the organ mass. The organ sizes seemed to be influenced by many coexisting factors like yearly differences, sex and age of animals, feed and farm.  相似文献

1. Pig mitochondrial malate dehydrogenase was labelled with 125I and intravenously injected into rats. Enzyme activity and radioactivity were cleared from plasma identically, with first-order kinetics, with a half-life of only 7 min. 2. Radioactivity accumulated in liver, spleen, bone (marrow) and kidneys, reaching maxima of 3 1, 4, 6 and 9% of the injected dose respectively, at 10 min after injection. 3. Our data allow us to calculate that in the long run 59, 5, 11 and 13% of the injected dose is taken up and subsequently broken down by liver, spleen, bone and kidneys respectively. 4. Differential fractionation of liver showed that the acid-precipitable radioactivity was mainly present in the lysosomal and microsomal fractions, suggesting that the endocytosed protein is transported via endosomes to lysosomes, where it is degraded. 5. Radioautography of liver and spleen suggested that the labelled protein was taken up by macrophages of the reticuloendothelial system. 6. Mitochondrial malate dehydrogenase is probably internalized in liver, spleen and bone marrow by adsorptive endocytosis, since uptake of the enzyme of these tissues is saturable.  相似文献

There are evidences that the biodistribution of radiopharmaceuticals can be modified by some drugs. As chemotherapeutic drugs present important toxic effects, we studied the vincristine effect in the mass of organs and are trying to develop a model to evaluate the action of chemotherapeutic drug using the biodistribution of radiopharmaceuticals. Vincristine was administered (n=15) into female Balb/c mice, the organs isolated and their mass determined. To study the vincristine effect in the biodistribution of technetium-99m-dimercaptosuccinic acid (99mTc-DMSA) or technetium-99m-diethylenetriaminepentaacetic acid (99mTc-DTPA), vincristine (0.03 mg) was administered in the animals (n=15) in three doses. 99mTc-DMSA or 99mTc-DTPA was injected 1h after the last dose. After 0.5h, the animals were sacrificed and the percentage of radioactivity (%ATI) and the percentage of radioactivity per gram of tissue (%ATI/g) in each organ were calculated. The results have shown that the mass decreased significantly (Wilcoxon test, P<0.05) in thymus, spleen, ovary, uterus, kidneys, pancreas. The %ATI to 99mTc-DMSA increased in lung, pancreas, heart, thyroid, brain, and bone, and the %ATI/g increased in uterus, ovary, spleen, thymus, kidney, lung, liver, pancreas, heart, thyroid, brain and bone. To 99mTc-DTPA, the %ATI increased in uterus, ovary, spleen, thymus, kidney, lung, liver, stomach, heart and bone, and the %ATI/g increased in uterus, ovary, spleen, thymus, kidney, lung, liver, stomach, heart and bone. The results were statistically significant (Wilcoxon test). The results can be explained by the metabolization, therapeutic, toxicological or immunosupressive action of the vincristine. This model, probably, should be used to evaluate the toxic effect of various drugs.  相似文献

Leukemia-inhibitory factor (LIF) elicits effects on a broad range of cell types, including cells of the monocytic and megakaryocytic series, embryonal stem cells, hepatocytes, adipocytes, and osteoblasts. Native and recombinant LIF, injected intravenously into adult mice, had an initial half-life of 6-8 min and a more prolonged second clearance phase. Clearance of 125I-LIF from the circulation was paralleled by a rapid accumulation in the kidneys, liver, lungs, and spleen and a more gradual accumulation in the thyroid gland. Labeling of the renal glomerular tufts, parenchymal hepatocytes, splenic red pulp, alveolar pneumocytes, and thyroid follicular cells as well as of megakaryocytes and osteoblasts in the bone cavities, placental trophoblasts, and cells of the choroid plexus was demonstrable autoradiographically. The appearance of a large amount of nonprecipitable 125I in the urine suggested that the kidneys were the major route of LIF clearance from the body.  相似文献

Summary The targets of preformed natural antibodies need to be identified whenever the use of pig organs is considered for human transplantation. In this study we used extracorporeal perfusion of pig organs with human blood, immunocytological techniques and immuno-electron microscopy to identify the targets and the nature of human preformed natural antibodies against pig antigens. The antibodies were found to be mainly of the IgG and IgM type and directed not only against endothelial cells, but also against mesenchymal and epithelial structures. To reproduce an in vivo situation, a Bio-pump was used to xenoperfuse pig kidneys and livers with human fresh oxygenated blood at 37°C, drawn from polycythaemic patients. Biopsies showed a deposition of human IgG and IgM on tubuli and glomeruli of pig kidneys and on endothelial cells of pig livers. Preperfusion of pig liver with human blood for 45 minutes before perfusion of kidneys significantly reduced the deposition of the natural antibodies.  相似文献
