The effect of Eleutherococcus on subcellular heart organization in rats with or without myocardial infarction was investigated. It was found that Eleutherococcus decreases ultrastructural lesions in the ischemic area, intensifies regeneration of subcellular structures and accelerates the recovery after myocardial infarction. The accumulation of glycogen, lipids and lysosomes is observed in lipocytes. It is suggested that positive effect of Eleutherococcus during myocardial infarction is related to lipid transformation into glycogen. 相似文献

Rat Langendorff hearts perfused with media that do not contain erythrocytes or fluorocarbon as oxygen carriers are borderline aerobic during 5 Hz pacing. This follows from the release of catabolic products measured: lactate, urate and lysophosphatidylcholine (IysoPC). Addition of L-carnitine to the perfusion medium reduced the level of these compounds, while the release of long-chain acylcarnitine (LCAC) increased. Previously, we found (Biochem Biophys Acta 847:62–66,1985) that micromolar LCAC protects membranes during reperfusion after ischemia, Therefore, the observed inverse relation between LCAC and the other compounds measured suggests that LCAC is the basis of an acute relief of imminent ischemia by carnitine addition. LCAC may be released from various cell types, including vascular endothelium, as demonstrated. The cationic amphiphilic nature of LCAC is responsible for protection of membrane functions in imminent ischemia. (Mol Cell Biochem 156: 87-91, 1996) 相似文献

During 24-h in vitro heart preservation and reperfusion, irreversible tissue damage occurs caused by reactive oxygen intermediates, such as superoxide radicals, singlet oxygen, hydrogen peroxide, hydroperoxyl, hydroxyl radicals, as well as the peroxynitrite radical. Reduction of the related oxidative damage of reperfused ischemic tissue by free radical scavengers and metal chelators is of primary importance in maintaining heart function. We assessed whether deferoxamine (DFR) added to a cardioplegia solution decreased free radical formation during 24-h cold (5 degrees C) heart preservation and normothermic reperfusion (37 degrees C) in the Langendorff isolated perfused rat heart. The deferoxamine treated hearts were significantly (p less than .001) better preserved than the control hearts after 24 h of preservation with regard to recovery of left ventricular diastolic pressure, contractility (+dP/dt), relaxation (-dP/dt), creatine kinase release, and lipid peroxidation. DFR preserved cell membrane integrity and maintained 93% of left ventricular contractility. The evidence suggests that DFR reduces lipid peroxidation damage by reducing free radical formation and thereby maintaining normal coronary perfusion flow and myocardial function. 相似文献

The vitellogenesis in Echeneibothrium beauchampi is studied by means of electron microscopy. In the follicles, the vitelline cells undergo three progressive changes characterized by cellular size, membrane system development and nature of stored inclusions. 1. Immature cells have a gonial morphology. 2. Maturing cells display a very well developed membrane system. Their cytoplasm is gradually filled with abundant lipid droplets. At the same time, a small number of homogeneous vesicles occur which contain protein material moderately electron dense. Glycogen (alpha and beta) appears at the end of the vitellogenesis. 3. Mature cells show a conspicuous regression of the membrane system. Cellular organelles, nucleus and protein vesicles are found in the peripheral cytoplasmic layer which still contains numerous free ribosomes. The amorphous remaining cytoplasm is filled with large amounts of aggregated lipid droplets which often surround glycogen areas. 4. The presence of numerous lipid droplets and glycogen in the vitelline cells of E. beauchampi shows evidence that this Tetraphyllidea is close to Pseudophyllidea, but the aspect of protein vesicles (shell-protein material) brings it near the Cyclophyllidea. 相似文献

1. Net glycogen accumulation was measured in sequentially removed samples during perfusion of the liver of starved streptozotocin-diabetic rats, and shown to be significantly impaired, compared with rates in normal (starved) rats. 2. In perfusions of normal livers with glucose plus C3 substrates, there was an increase in the proportion of glycogen synthetase 'a', compared with that in the absence of substrates. This response to substrates, followed in sequential synthesis and enzymic sensitivity in the perfused liver of diabetic rats were reversed by pretreatment in vivo with glucose plus fructose, or insulin. Glucose alone did not produce this effect. 4. Glucose, fructose, insulin or cortisol added to e perfusion medium (in the absence of pretreatment in vivo) did not stimulate glycogen synthesis in diabetic rats. 5. In intact diabetic rats, there was a decline in rates of net hepatic glycogen accumulation, and the response of glycogen synthetase to substrates. The most rapid rates of synthesis were obtained after fructose administration. 6. These results demonstrate that there is a marked inherent impairment in hepatic glycogen synthesis in starved diabetic rats, which can be rapidly reversed in vivo but no in perfusion. Thus hepatic glycogen synthesis does not appear to be sensitive to either the short-term direct action of insulin (added alone to perfusions) of to long-term insulin deprivation in vivo. The regulatory roles of substrates, insulin and glycogen synthetase in hepatic glycogen accumulation are discussed. 相似文献

Sonicated dimyristoylphosphatidylcholine vesicles interact with cultured murine lymphoma (BL/VL3) to generate complexes of vesicle and cell membrane components. Cell-free supernatants harvested after cell-vesicle incubations contain three distinct lipid species that can be separated by density gradient centrifugation. Analysis of protein and lipid composition and assays for cell and vesicle lumen contents reveal that the densest of the three lipid species comprises sealed plasma membrane fragments complexed with vesicles, while the least dense species is indistinguishable from pure phospholipid vesicles. The third, intermediate density species consists of topologically intact vesicles with associated plasma membrane proteins but without detectable cell lipids or cytoplasmic components. The membrane fragmentation and cell-to-vesicle protein transfer observed during lymphoma-vesicle incubations are examined as functions of cell and vesicle concentrations and incubation time. 相似文献

Bile acid secretion induced by cAMP and taurocholate is associated with recruitment of several ATP binding cassette (ABC) transporters to the canalicular membrane. Taurocholate-mediated bile acid secretion and recruitment of ABC transporters are phosphatidylinositol 3-kinase (PI3K) dependent and require an intact microtubular apparatus. We examined mechanisms involved in cAMP-mediated bile acid secretion. Bile acid secretion induced by perfusion of rat liver with dibutyryl cAMP was blocked by colchicine and wortmannin, a PI3K inhibitor. Canalicular membrane vesicles isolated from cAMP-treated rats manifested increased ATP-dependent transport of taurocholate and PI3K activity that were reduced by prior in vivo administration of colchicine or wortmannin. Addition of a PI3K lipid product, phosphoinositide 3,4-bisphosphate, but not its isomer, phosphoinositide 4,5-bisphosphate, restored ATP-dependent taurocholate in these vesicles. Addition of a decapeptide that activates PI3K to canalicular membrane vesicles increased ATP-dependent transport above baseline activity. In contrast to effects induced by taurocholate, cAMP-stimulated intracellular trafficking of the canalicular ABC transporters was unaffected by wortmannin, and recruitment of multidrug resistance protein 2, but not bile salt excretory protein (bsep), was partially decreased by colchicine. These studies indicate that trafficking of bsep and other canalicular ABC transporters to the canalicular membrane in response to cAMP is independent of PI3K activity. In addition, PI3K lipid products are required for activation of bsep in the canalicular membrane. These observations prompt revision of current concepts regarding the role of cAMP and PI3K in intracellular trafficking, regulation of canalicular bsep, and bile acid secretion. 相似文献

Numerous pathophysiological conditions are associated with the misfolding and aggregation of proteins into insoluble amyloid fibrils. The mechanisms by which this process leads to cellular dysfunction remain elusive, though several hypotheses point toward the perturbation of the cell plasma membrane by pre-fibrillar intermediates and/or amyloid growth. However, current models to study membrane perturbations are largely limited to synthetic lipid vesicles and most of experimental approaches cannot be transposed to complex cell-derived plasma membrane systems. Herein, vesicles originating from the plasma membrane of erythrocytes and β-pancreatic cells were used to study the perturbations induced by an amyloidogenic peptide, the islet amyloid polypeptide (IAPP). These biologically relevant lipid vesicles displayed a characteristic clustering in the presence of the amyloidogenic peptide, which was able to rupture membranes. By exploiting Förster resonance energy transfer (FRET), a rapid, simple, and potentially high-throughput assay to detect membrane perturbations of intact mammalian cell plasma membrane vesicles was implemented. The FRET kinetics of membrane perturbations closely correlated with the kinetics of thioflavin-T fluorescence associated with amyloid formation. This novel kinetics assay expands the toolbox available to study amyloid-associated membrane damage, bridging the gap between synthetic lipid vesicles and living cells. 相似文献

Effects of intracellular accumulation of isoproterenol (ISO) on lactate production were examined in perfused rat heart. The lactate production during ISO perfusion in rat heart was increased and subsequent addition of an inhibitor of catechol-O-methyl transferase (COMT) further enhanced the production, and the enhanced production was significantly reduced by uptake2 inhibitor. The perfusion with ISO free-medium in the heart with high intracellular accumulation of ISO produced lactate more than that in the low intracellular accumulation. The present experiments demonstrated that the enhanced lactate production is accompanied by intracellular accumulation of ISO in the perfused rat heart, and suggested that the accumulated ISO may activate intracellular beta-adrenoceptors in the rat heart. 相似文献

Enveloped viruses as model membrane systems: microviscosity of vesicular stomatitis virus and host cell membranes. 总被引:4,自引:0,他引:4
The fluorescence probe 1,6-diphenyl-1,3,5-hexatriene was used to study and compare the dynamic properties of the hydrophobic region of vesicular stomatitis virus grown on L-929 cells, plasma membrane of L-929 cells prepared by two different methods, liposomes prepared from virus lipids and plasma membrane lipids, and intact L-929 cells. The rate of penetration of the probe into the hydrophobic region of the lipid bilayer was found to be much faster in the lipid vesicle bilayer as compared with the intact membrane, but in all cases the fluorescence anisotropy was constant with time. The L-cell plasma membranes, the vesicles prepared from the lipids derived from the plasma membranes, and intact cells are found to have much lower microviscosity values than the virus or virus lipid vesicles throughout a wide range of temperatures. The microviscosity of plasma membrane and plasma membrane lipid vesicles was found to depend on the procedure for plasma membrane preparation as the membranes prepared by different methods had different microviscosities. The intact virus and liposomes prepared from the virus lipids were found to have very similar microviscosity values. Plasma membrane and liposomes prepared from plasma membrane lipids also had similar microviscosity values. Factors affecting microviscosity in natural membranes and artificially mixed lipid membranes are discussed. 相似文献

Abstract: Potato tubers ( Solanum tuberosum L. cv Bintje and Désirée) were stored for 12 months under three different storage conditions: 4 °C, 20 °C with sprout inhibitor and 20 °C without sprout inhibitor. Independent of the storage conditions, our results show that the increase of membrane permeability, as revealed by electrolyte leakage, is not correlated with the lipid saturation status. Moreover, there is no simple correlation between cold sweetening and membrane permeability or lipid saturation status. During storage at 20 °C without sprout inhibitor, the increase in membrane permeability is inversely correlated to sucrose accumulation, but this is not the case when tubers were stored with sprout inhibitors. Lipoxygenase (LOX) is often proposed as responsible for peroxidative damage to membrane lipids. The gradual peroxidation resulting in double bond index decrease is regarded as a cause of senescence sweetening. Our results revealed that the role of LOX in aging and senescence of potato tubers is far from clear. LOX activity and gene expression are not correlated with the fatty acids composition of the membrane. Moreover, LOX activity and fatty acid hydroperoxide content are low in older tubers, whatever the storage conditions or the varieties. On the basis of our results, the correlation between sugar accumulation (low temperature and senescence sweetening) and peroxidative damage occurring during storage of potato tubers is discussed. 相似文献

Selenium and cardiovascular disease. 总被引:9,自引:0,他引:9
For humans, ecological and epidemiological results are reported that show a relationship between the serum selenium concentration and cardiovascular disease in populations where low serum selenium concentrations are found, e.g., in Eastern Finland. From clinical studies done in Germany (FRG and GDR), Finland, and Sweden, subnormal serum selenium and partially whole blood selenium concentrations are reported in patients with acute myocardial infarction. For patients with coronary arteriosclerosis, subnormal serum selenium concentrations are reported from the USA and Germany and subnormal whole blood selenium concentrations from Germany. Subnormal serum and subnormal whole blood selenium concentrations of patients with cardiomyopathy are reported from non Keshan disease affected areas in Germany, France, and China. In selenium deficiency, an accumulation of lipid peroxides in the heart may occur, especially under ischemic conditions and if ischemic tissue is reperfused. Lipid peroxides in the heart may damage the cell membrane and may lead to an impaired calcium transport with an uncontrolled calcium accumulation in the cell. This may result in an activation of phospholipids, and, in consequence, to an enhanced formation of arachidonic acid. An increased concentration of lipid peroxides owing to selenium deficiency may shift the prostaglandin synthesis from prostacyclin to thromboxane, causing enhanced blood pressure and platelet aggregability. From animal experiments, it is known that selenium protects against cardiotoxic elements, cardiotoxic xenobiotics, and viral infections that affect the heart. Selenium deficiency may also be a secondary factor in the causation of hypertension and myocardial ischemia. 相似文献

The rat pericoronary adipose tissue was perfused in the presence of either the liposynthetic hormone insulin or the lipolytic hormone noradrenaline. Insulin perfusion associated with a) larger adipocyte mean sectional diameter in comparison with noradrenaline perfusion; b) glycogen deposition; c) appearance of small fat globules at discrete sites at the periphery of the main lipid drop. The two latter phenomena were apparently dose-dependent. Massive lipid deposition was induced by addition of triglycerides to the perfusion medium and this associated with appearance of prominent endoplasmic reticulum in the cytoplasm. In noradrenaline-perfused adipose tissue many small lipid droplets surrounded the central lipid deposit and the endoplasmic reticulum was in the form of both thin long, dashed cisternae sometime surrounding lipid droplets and grouped, anastomosing tubular cisternae. The present work shows that the perfused white adipose tissue of the heart is a suitable model to study, in situ, the morphological effects of hormones in adipocytes. 相似文献

1. A total loss of capacity for net glycogen synthesis was observed in experiments with the perfused liver of starved adrenalectomized rats. 2. This lesion was corrected by insulin or cortisol in vivo (over 2-5h), but not by any agent tested in perfusion. 3. The activity of glycogen synthetase a, and its increase during perfusion, in the presence of glucose plus glucogenic substrates, were proportional to the rate of net glycogen accumulation. 4. This complete inherent loss of capacity for glycogen synthesis after adrenalectomy is greater than any defect in hepatic metabolism yet reported in this situation, and is not explicable by a decrease in the rate of gluconegenesis (which supports glycogen synthesis in the liver of starved rats). The short-term (2-5h) stimulatory effect of glucocorticoids in the intact animal, on hepatic glycogen deposition, may be mediated partly through insulin action, although neither insulin or cortisol appear to act directly on the liver to stimulate glycogen synthesis. 相似文献

Male Wistar rats were treated with L-3,5,3'-triiodothyronine (T3) (500 micrograms.kg.-1.day-1) for 3 days. Cardiac sarcoplasmic reticulum (SR) was isolated at several time points during the induction of the hyperthyroid state and calcium transport and the levels of carnitine derivatives were determined. Calcium transport was augmented at all free calcium concentrations assayed (0.1-5.3 microM) 24 h following a single dose of T3; at 48 and 72 h, calcium transport was further augmented. Calcium-dependent phosphoprotein levels were increased in the SR of the 48- and 72-h T3-treated groups. Total SR carnitine was reduced after 24, 48, and 72 h of treatment. Long chain acylcarnitine (LCAC) levels were decreased in T3-treated SR at 48 and 72 h. This study shows that calcium transport is increased in T3-treated rat heart SR and that this increase may be related to a reduction in the endogenous level of LCAC in the SR membrane. 相似文献

Glucose homeostasis is controlled in part by regulation of glucose uptake into muscle and adipose tissue. Intracellular membrane vesicles containing the GLUT4 glucose transporter move towards the cell cortex in response to insulin and then fuse with the plasma membrane. Here we show that the fusion step is retarded by the inhibition of phosphatidylinositol (PI) 3-kinase. Treatment of insulin-stimulated 3T3-L1 adipocytes with the PI 3-kinase inhibitor LY294002 causes the accumulation of GLUT4-containing vesicles just beneath the cell surface. This accumulation of GLUT4-containing vesicles near the plasma membrane prior to fusion requires an intact cytoskeletal network and the unconventional myosin motor Myo1c. Remarkably, enhanced Myo1c expression under these conditions causes extensive membrane ruffling and overrides the block in membrane fusion caused by LY294002, restoring the display of GLUT4 on the cell exterior. Ultrafast microscopic analysis revealed that insulin treatment leads to the mobilization of GLUT4-containing vesicles to these regions of Myo1c-induced membrane ruffles. Thus, localized membrane remodeling driven by the Myo1c motor appears to facilitate the fusion of exocytic GLUT4-containing vesicles with the adipocyte plasma membrane. 相似文献

Carnitine palmitoyltransferases 1 and 2 (CPTs) facilitate the import of long-chain fatty acids into mitochondria. Modulation of the catalytic activity of the CPT system is currently under investigation for the development of novel drugs against diabetes mellitus. We report here the 1.6 A resolution structure of the full-length mitochondrial membrane protein CPT-2. The structure of CPT-2 in complex with the generic CPT inhibitor ST1326 ([R]-N-[tetradecylcarbamoyl]-aminocarnitine), a substrate analog mimicking palmitoylcarnitine and currently in clinical trials for diabetes mellitus treatment, was solved at 2.5 A resolution. These structures of CPT-2 provide insight into the function of residues involved in substrate binding and determination of substrate specificity, thereby facilitating the rational design of antidiabetic drugs. We identify a sequence insertion found in CPT-2 that mediates membrane localization. Mapping of mutations described for CPT-2 deficiency, a hereditary disorder of lipid metabolism, implies effects on substrate recognition and structural integrity of CPT-2. 相似文献

Involvement of ERK1/2 and p38 in Mg2+ accumulation in liver cells 总被引:10,自引:0,他引:10
Activation of PKC signaling induces Mg2+ accumulation in liver cells. To test the hypothesis that PKC induces Mg2+ accumulation via MAPKs activation, hepatocytes were incubated in the presence of PD98059 and SB202190 as specific inhibitors of ERK1/2 and p38, respectively, and stimulated for Mg2+ accumulation by addition of PMA or OAG. Accumulation of Mg2+ within the cells was measured by atomic absorbance spectrophotometry in the acid extract of cell pellet. The presence of either inhibitor completely abolished Mg2+ accumulation irrespective of the dose of agonist utilized while having no discernible effect on β -adrenoceptor mediated Mg2+ extrusion. A partial inhibition on α 1-adrenoceptor mediated Mg2+ extrusion was observed only in cells treated with PD98059. To confirm the inhibitory effect of PD98509 and SB202190, total and basolateral liver plasma membrane vesicles were purified in the presence of either MAPK inhibitor during the isolation procedure. Consistent with the data obtained in intact cells, liver plasma membrane vesicles purified in the presence of PD98509 or SB202190 lost the ability to accumulate Mg2+in exchange for intra-vesicular entrapped Na+ while retaining the ability to extrude entrapped Mg2+ in exchange for extra-vesicular Na+. These data indicate that ERK1/2 and p38 are involved in mediating Mg2+ accumulation in liver cells following activation of PKC signaling. The absence of a detectable effect of either inhibitor on β -adrenoceptor induced, Na+-dependent Mg2+ extrusion in intact cells and in purified plasma membrane vesicles further support the hypothesis that Mg2+ extrusion and accumulation occur through distinct and differently regulated transport mechanisms. 相似文献

1. The biosynthesis of ubiquinone (UQ) in isolated rat heart under ischemic and hypoxic conditions was investigated. 2. Under ischemic perfusion, a greater amount of biosynthetic intermediates, 3-nonaprenyl and 3-decaprenyl-4-hydroxybenzoate (PPHBs) was accumulated and a smaller amount of UQ-9 and -10 was synthesized when compared with normal conditions. 3. The accumulation of PPHBs was observed without forming UQs during anaerobic perfusion. 4. Hydroxylation which is the following reaction of PPHBs for the biosynthesis of UQ in rat heart, was proceeded by the monooxygenase(s) depending upon the oxygen concentrations. 相似文献
