Acid phosphatase (EC. 3.1.3.2) has been separated by molecular sieving into two fractions and these fractions were purified by Sephadex ion-exchange chromatography. One of the purified enzymes (fraction II) was purified 830 fold and had a specific activity of 34 international units per mg protein at 37 degrees C and at a pH of 4.9. The Km value with p-nitrophenylphosphate as substrate was 9.10(-4) M and the kinetic studies showed no possibilities of control by allosteric transitions, and no effect of metabolites (amino acids) on the reaction velocity. 相似文献

Zebrafish have the ability to regenerate skeletal structures, including the fin, skull roof, and jaw. Although fin regeneration proceeds by epimorphic regeneration, it remains unclear whether this process is involved in other skeletal regeneration in zebrafish. Initially in epimorphic regeneration, the wound epidermis covers the wound surface. Subsequently, the blastema, an undifferentiated mesenchymal mass, forms beneath the epidermis. In the present study, we re-examined the regeneration of the zebrafish lower jaw in detail, and investigated whether epimorphic regeneration is involved in this process. We performed amputation of the lower jaw at two different positions; the proximal level (presence of Meckel's cartilage) and the distal level (absence of Meckel's cartilage). In both manipulations, a blastema-like cellular mass was initially formed. Subsequently, cartilaginous aggregates were formed in this mass. In the proximal amputation, the cartilaginous aggregates were then fused with Meckel's cartilage and remained as a skeletal component of the regenerated jaw, whereas in the distal amputation, the cartilaginous aggregates disappeared as regeneration progressed. Two molecules that were observed during epimorphic regeneration, Laminin and msxb, were expressed in the regenerating lower jaw, although the domain of msxb expression was out of the main plain of the aggregate formation. Administration of an inhibitor of Wnt/β-catenin signaling, a pathway associated with epimorphic regeneration, showed few effects on lower jaw regeneration. Our finding suggests that skeletal regeneration of the lower jaw mainly progresses through tissue regeneration that is dependent on the position in the jaw, and epimorphic regeneration plays an adjunctive role in this regeneration. 相似文献

Teleost fishes can regenerate their fins by epimorphic regeneration, a process that involves the transition of the formerly quiescent tissues of the stump to an active, growing state. This involves dynamic modifications of cell phenotype and behavior that must rely on alterations of the cytoskeleton. We have studied the spatial and temporal distribution of three main components of the cytoskeleton (actin, keratin and vimentin) in the regenerating fin, in order to establish putative relationships between cell cytoskeleton and cell behavior. According to our results, the massive rearrangement undergone by the epidermis right after injury, which takes place by cell migration, correlates with a transient down-regulation of keratin and a strong up-regulation of actin in the epidermal cells. During the subsequent epidermal growth, based on cell proliferation, keratin normal pattern is recovered while actin is down-regulated, although not to normal (quiescent) levels. The epidermal basal layer in contact with the blastema displays a particular cytoskeletal profile, different to that of the rest of the epidermal cells, which reflects its special features. In the connective tissue compartment, somatic cells do not contain vimentin, but keratin, as intermediate filament. Proliferative and migrative activation of these cells after injury correlates with actin up-regulation. Although this initial activation does not involve keratin down-regulation, blastemal cells were later observed to lack keratin, suggesting that such cytoskeletal modification might be needed for connective tissue cells to dedifferentiate and form the blastema. Cell differentiation in the newly formed, regenerated ray is accompanied by actin down-regulation and keratin up-regulation. 相似文献

Chondroitin sulfate proteoglycans are the principal inhibitory component of glial scars, which form after damage to the adult central nervous system and act as a barrier to regenerating axons. Recent findings have furthered our understanding of the mechanisms that result in a failure of regeneration after spinal cord injury and suggest that a multipartite approach will be required to facilitate long-distance regeneration and functional recovery. 相似文献

In this work the expression of PACAP (pituitary adenylate cyclase activating polypeptide) in rat anterior pituitary was demonstrated for the first time using in situ hybridization. The number of cells showing PACAP signal in intact male rats was negligible similarly to that of diestrous rats. In proestrous rats sacrificed at 10h there was a moderate increase in the expression and after a decrease at 16 h and 18 h, there was a transient peak at 20 h and then the number of labeled cells was declined again (22 h). In the cell immunoblot assay study it was observed that the number of PACAP blot forming (PACAP releasing) cells in an anterior pituitary cell culture changed according to a similar pattern as the number of PACAP expressing cells. The number of blots was also the highest when the animals were sacrificed in the evening of proestrus at 20h. The results obtained by in situ hybridization and cell immunoblot assay well correlate with each other. The above-mentioned results support our hypothesis that the enhanced expression and secretion of PACAP in the pituitary gland may be involved in ceasing the LH surge. 相似文献

Samples were taken in fine-sand community of the North Latium coast in February and September for two years. Eigthy-eight species of Polychaetes were identified. The most abundant was Owenia fusiformis which was highly correlated to the clay fraction in the sediments. Species richness and abundance of other polychaete species were related to the abundance of this tubicolous species which provides a spatial refuge from predators and implements sediment stability. There was a persistency in the community structure in spite of seasonal fluctuations in the abundance of dominant species. 相似文献

Summary Following immobilization stress the supraoptic nucleus exhibits an increased number of coarse, heavily immunostained fibers in the basal glia labyrinth. Ultrastructural immunocytochemistry demonstrates a labeling of the rough endoplasmic reticulum in the neurosecretory perikarya and granule-free, immunoreactive material in the axons adjacent to the basal glia labyrinth. Furthermore, a labeling of the intercellular clefts of the neuropil is demonstrable in the supraoptic nucleus. These results lead to the hypothesis that 1) vasopressin is synthesized and released in two forms, in a granule-bound form and in a granule-free, probably more soluble form, and that 2) the latter might be released already in the nuclear area into the intercellular clefts from where it may reach its target cells via the cerebrospinal fluid of the subarachnoid space.The excellent technical assistance of Mrs. Helga Prien is thankfully acknowledgedSupported by the Deutsche Forschungsgemeinschaft (Grant Nr.

'Agrotana', a wheat-alien hybrid (2n = 56), is a potential source of resistance to common root rot, stem rust, wheat streak mosaic virus, and the wheat curl mite. However, the origin of 'Agrotana', reported to be durum wheat x Agropyron trichophorum (pubescent wheatgrass), is uncertain. The objective of this investigation was to determine the chromosome constitution of 'Agrotana' using C-banding and fluorescence in situ hybridization techniques. The F1 hybrid of 'Agrotana' x 'Chinese Spring' wheat showed 7 I + 21 II in 14.9% of the pollen mother cells, evidence of the presence of the A, B, and D genomes in 'Agrotana'. The hybrid had 16 heavily C-banded chromosomes, namely 4A, and 1-7B of wheat, and a translocation that probably involved wheat chromosomes 2A and 2D. In situ hybridization using biotinylated genomic DNA of Ag. trichophorum cv. Greenleaf blocked with CS DNA failed to identify the alien chromosomes in 'Agrotana', indicating that the alien chromosomes were not likely derived from pubescent wheatgrass. In situ hybridization using labelled wheat genomic DNA blocked with 'Agrotana' DNA revealed that 'Agrotana' had 40 wheat, 14 alien, and 2 (a pair) wheat-alien translocated chromosomes. There was no homology between wheat and the alien chromosomes or chromosome segments involved in the wheat-alien recombinant. Two of the seven pairs of alien chromosomes were homoeologous to each other. The ability to identify alien chromatin in wheat using labelled wheat DNA instead of labelled alien DNA will be particularly useful in chromosome engineering of wheat germplasms having alien chromatin of unknown origin. 相似文献

Cisplatin treatment (9 mg/kg) causes bloating of the stomach, an increase in gastric acid, and ulceration in rats. Gastrin, a gut peptide, plays an important role in regulating gastric acid production. To study the role of gastrin in this increased gastric acid production after cisplatin treatment, male Wistar rats (100-150 g) were treated with cisplatin (9 mg/kg) in five divided doses over 5 consecutive days. The rats were sacrificed 1, 6, 10, or 15 days after the last treatment. As measured by immunocytochemistry, in situ hybridization, Northern blot, and dot-blot techniques, gastrin was found to be below detectable limits just 1 day after cisplatin treatment. However, 10-15 days after the last injection, the levels for both gastrin and its mRNA gradually recovered to normal. Northern blot studies showed that decreased somatostatin mRNA parallels the changes of gastrin and its mRNA. These results suggest that after cisplatin treatment the increased gastric acid production in rat stomach is independent of gastrin. This decrease of gastrin production is not under the influence of somatostatin, which also decreased after cisplatin treatment. 相似文献

Neuroendocrine gene expression in the hypothalamus:In situ hybridization histochemical studies 总被引:5,自引:0,他引:5
1. We have reviewed recent studies in which in situ hybridization histochemistry (ISHH) was used to investigate the regulation of expression of neurohypophysial peptides and hypothalamic releasing hormones. 2. ISHH is a technique in which the presence and quantity of a specific mRNA can be determined in tissue sections with a high degree of resolution and sensitivity. 3. ISHH has been used to measure changes in cellular levels of mRNAs encoding vasopressin, oxytocin, corticotropin-releasing factor, gonadotropin-releasing hormone, thyrotropin-releasing hormone and somatostatin in response to various physiological challenges. 4. A theme emerging from these studies is that changes in levels of mRNA encoding neuroendocrine peptides reflect changes in biosynthesis and secretion. 相似文献

A total of 1,000 lymphocyte interphase nuclei per proband from 90 females and 138 males age 1 wk to 93 years were analyzed by in situ hybridization for loss of the X and Y chromosomes, respectively. Both sex chromosomes showed an age-dependent loss. In males, Y hypoploidy was very low up to age 15 years (0.05%) but continuously increased to a frequency of 1.34% in men age 76-80 years. In females, the baseline level for X chromosome loss is much higher than that seen for the Y chromosome in males. Even prepubertal females show a rate of X chromosome loss, on the order of 1.5%-2.5%, rising to approximately 4.5%-5% in women older than 75 years. Dividing the female probands into three biological age groups on the basis of sex hormone function (< 13 years, 13-51 years, and > 51 years), a significant correlation of X chromosome loss versus age could clearly be demonstrated in women beyond age 51 years. Females age 51-91 years showed monosomy X at a rate from 3.2% to 5.1%. In contrast to sex chromosomal loss, the frequency of autosomal monosomies does not change during the course of aging: Chromosome 1 and chromosome 17 monosomic cells were found with a constant incidence of 1.2% and 1%, respectively. These data also indicate that autosome loss in interphase nuclei is not a function of chromosome size. 相似文献
