We aimed to investigate the effects of intracerebroventricularly (i.c.v.) injected glucagon-like peptide-1 (GLP-1) on blood pressure and heart rate, and whether central cholinergic system and vasopressinergic system play roles in these effects. Male Wistar albino rats were used throughout the experiments. Blood pressures and heart rates were observed before and for 30 min following drug injections. i.c.v. GLP-1 (100, 500 and 1000 ng/10 microl) caused a dose-dependent increase in both blood pressure and heart rate. Nicotinic receptor antagonist mecamylamine (25 microg/10 microl, i.c.v.) and muscarinic receptor antagonist atropine (5 microg/10 microl, i.c.v.) prevented the stimulating effect of GLP-1 on blood pressure. The effect of GLP-1 on heart rate was blocked only by mecamylamine. The V1 receptor antagonist of vasopressin (B-mercapto B, B-cyclopentamethylenepropionyl, O-Me-Tyr,Arg)-vasopressin (10 microg/kg), that was applied intraarterially, only prevented the effect of GLP-1 on blood pressure, but did not show any effect on heart rate. Our data indicate that i.c.v. GLP-1 increases blood pressure and heart rate, and stimulation of central nicotinic and partially muscarinic receptors and vasopressinergic system play a role in the effects of i.c.v. GLP-1 on blood pressure. The effect of GLP-1 on heart rate may be partially due to stimulation of central nicotinic receptors.  相似文献

Active shock avoidance was used to explore the impact of behavioural stimulation on the neurochemistry of the suprachiasmatic nucleus. We have found previously that the expression of muscarinic acetylcholine receptors in the suprachiasmatic nucleus of young rats was significantly enhanced 24 hours after fear conditioning. Here, we investigated whether this observation is age-dependent. We used 26 month-old Wistar rats with a deteriorated circadian system, and compared them with young rats (4 months of age) with an intact circadian system. Vasopressin, representing a major output system of the suprachiasmatic nucleus, was studied in addition to muscarinic receptors. Young rats showed a significant increase in immunostaining for muscarinic acetylcholine receptors 24 h after training, corroborating earlier observations. Aged rats did not show such an increase. In contrast, aged rats did show an increase in vasopressin immunoreactivity 24 h after fear conditioning, both at the level of content and cell number, while young rats did not reveal a significant rise. Thus, it seems that these two neurochemical systems in the suprachiasmatic nucleus are regulated independently. The results further demonstrate that the circadian pacemaker is influenced by fear conditioning in an age-dependent manner.  相似文献

Summary Following injection of 5µg of the competitive NMDA receptor antagonist AP-5 into the nucleus accumbens, but not following injection of the same dose into the dorsal striatum, a pronounced locomotor stimulation in monoamine-depleted mice was produced; the-adrenoceptor agonist clonidine (1 mg/kg) administered ip caused a marked potentiation of an intraaccumbens AP-5 (2.5µg) injection.On the other hand, 10µg of AP-5 combined with an ip injection of clonidine (1 mg/kg) caused a marked locomotor stimulation following local application into the dorsal striatum but not following application into the prefrontal cortex. Likewise, in combination with systemically administered clonidine, a substantial locomotor stimulation was observed after application of the muscarine receptor antagonist methscopolamine (62µg) into the dorsal striatum but not into the prefrontal cortex.This study suggests that NMDA receptors in the nucleus accumbens exert an inhibitory influence on locomotor activity. The dorsal striatum may also be involved in such control via NMDA and muscarinic receptors.  相似文献

Participation of central and peripheral++ cholinoreceptors in responses of blood coagulation system to intravenous vasopressin injection has been studied in experiments on white rats. Vasopressin was injected in combination with atropine and metacine Intensification of the procoagulant activity, that was observed 15 min after vasopressin injection (4 micrograms/kg), was practically retained during cholinergic blockade. The intensification of fibrinolytic activities as a result of an increase in the level of plasminogen activators in blood, is to a great extent blocked by atropine rather than by metacine. Consequently, to intensify the procoagulant activity without changes in fibrinolysis (for example hemophilia) it is necessary to use the vasopressin injection in combination with atropine.  相似文献

Central actions of angiotensin play an important role in cardiovascular control and have been implicated in the pathogenesis of hypertension and heart failure. One feature of centrally or peripherally administered angiotensin is that the bradycardia in response to an acute pressor effect is blunted. It is unknown whether after central angiotensin this is due partly to increased cardiac sympathetic nerve activity (CSNA). We recorded CSNA and arterial pressure in conscious sheep, at least 3 days after electrode implantation. The effects of intracerebroventricular infusions of ANG II (3 nmol/h for 30 min) and artificial cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) (1 ml/h) were determined. The response to intracerebroventricular hypertonic saline (0.6 M NaCl in CSF at 1 ml/h) was examined as there is evidence that hypertonic saline acts via angiotensinergic pathways. Intracerebroventricular angiotensin increased CSNA by 23 +/- 7% (P < 0.001) and mean arterial pressure (MAP) by 7.6 +/- 1.2 mmHg (P < 0.001) but did not significantly change heart rate (n = 5). During intracerebroventricular ANG II the reflex relation between CSNA and diastolic blood pressure was significantly shifted to the right (P < 0.01). Intracerebroventricular hypertonic saline increased CSNA (+9.4 +/- 6.6%, P < 0.05) and MAP but did not alter heart rate. The responses to angiotensin and hypertonic saline were prevented by intracerebroventricular losartan (1 mg/h). In conclusion, in conscious sheep angiotensin acts within the brain to increase CSNA, despite increased MAP. The increase in CSNA may account partly for the lack of bradycardia in response to the increased arterial pressure. The responses to angiotensin and hypertonic saline were losartan sensitive, indicating they were mediated by angiotensin AT-1 receptors.  相似文献

An immunologically dependent encapsulation-extrusion mechanism causes salamanders to extrude partially rejected subcutaneous implants of normal and neoplastic allogeneic tissues. This reaction occurs more frequently in sensitized hosts and is preferentially expressed when animals are implanted and maintained in the cold and then transferred to the warm. These data suggest the hypothesis that vertebrate cellular and humoral immunity may have evolved by modifying and increasing the survival value of foreign body reactions of primitive invertebrates.  相似文献

Atherothrombotic vascular disease is a complex disorder in which inflammation and coagulation play a pivotal role. Rupture of high-risk, vulnerable plaques with the subsequent tissue factor (TF) exposure is responsible for coronary thrombosis, the main cause of unstable angina, acute myocardial infarction, and sudden cardiac death. Tissue factor (TF), the key initiator of coagulation is an important modulator of inflammation. TF is widely expressed in atherosclerotic plaques and found in macrophages, smooth muscle cells, extracellular matrix and acellular lipid-rich core. TF expression can be induced by various stimulants such as C-reactive protein, oxLDL, hyperglycemia and adipocytokines. The blood-born TF encrypted on the circulating microparticles derived from vascular cells is a marker of vascular injury and a source of procoagulant activity. Another form of TF, called alternatively spliced has been recently identified in human and murine. It is soluble, circulates in plasma and initiates coagulation and thrombus propagation. Evidence indicates that elevated levels of blood-borne or circulating TF has been associated with metabolic syndrome, type 2 diabetes and cardiovascular risk factors and is a candidate biomarker for future cardiovascular events. Therapeutic strategies have been developed to specifically interfere with TF activity in the treatment of cardiovascular disease.  相似文献

The involvement of central angiotensinergic and cholinergic mechanisms in the effects of the intracerebroventricularly injected somatostatin analog octreotide (Oct) on drinking, blood pressure, and vasopressin secretion in the rat was investigated. Intracerebroventricular Oct elicited prompt drinking lasting for 10 min. Water consumption depended on the dose of Oct (0.01, 0.1, and 0. 4 microgram). The drinking response to Oct was inhibited by pretreatments with the intracerebroventricularly injected angiotensin-converting enzyme inhibitor captopril, the AT(1)/AT(2) angiotensin receptor antagonist saralasin, the selective AT(1) receptor antagonist losartan, or the muscarinic cholinergic receptor antagonist atropine. The dipsogenic effect of Oct was not altered by prior subcutaneous injection of naloxone. Oct stimulated vasopressin secretion and enhanced blood pressure. These responses were also blocked by pretreatments with captopril or atropine. Previous reports indicate that the central angiotensinergic and cholinergic mechanisms stimulate drinking and vasopressin secretion independently. We suggest that somatostatin acting on sst2 or sst5 receptors modulates central angiotensinergic and cholinergic mechanisms involved in the regulation of fluid balance.  相似文献

实验对大鼠进行第三脑室和脑腹中隔区插管,用数字体温计测量大鼠的结肠温度,用放射免疫分析法测定脑中隔区精氨酸加压素(arginine vasopressin,AVP)含量,观察脑中隔区AVP在大鼠促肾上腺皮质激素释放激素(corticotrophin releasing hormone,CRH)性发热机制中的作用。结果发现:脑室注射CRH(5.0μg)引起大鼠结肠温度明显升高,同时明显增高脑中隔区AVP的含量。脑腹中隔区注射AVP V1受体拮抗剂本身并不导致大鼠结肠温度明显改变,但能显著增强脑室注射CRH引起的发热反应。而且,腹中隔区注射AVP显著抑制大鼠CRH性发热。结果提示:发热时CRH是引起脑腹中隔区AVP释放的因素之一,脑腹中隔区内源性AVP抑制中枢注射CRH引起的体温升高。  相似文献

CHIP: a link between the chaperone and proteasome systems   总被引:6,自引:0,他引:6       下载免费PDF全文
CHIP, carboxy terminus of Hsc70 interacting protein, is a cytoplasmic protein whose amino acid sequence is highly conserved across species. It is most highly expressed in cardiac and skeletal muscle and brain. The primary amino acid sequence is characterized by 3 domains, a tetratricopeptide repeat (TPR) domain at its amino terminus, a U-box domain at its carboxy terminus, and an intervening charged domain. CHIP interacts with the molecular chaperones Hsc70-Hsp70 and Hsp90 through its TPR domain, whereas its U-box domain contains its E3 ubiquitin ligase activity. Its interaction with these molecular chaperones results in client substrate ubiquitylation and degradation by the proteasome. Thus, CHIP acts to tilt the folding-refolding machinery toward the degradative pathway, and it serves as a link between the two. Because protein degradation is required for healthy cellular function, CHIP's ability to degrade proteins that are the signature of disease, eg, ErbB2 in breast and ovarian cancers, could prove to be a point of therapeutic intervention.  相似文献

The existence and colocalization of angiotensin II- and vasopressin-like immunoreactivity in individual magnocellular cell groups of the hypothalamus has been demonstrated by using immunocytochemical methods. These neurosecretory magnocellular groups consist of the paraventricular nucleus and the supraoptic nucleus, as well as different accessory cell groups. The fibers from the neurons of the accessory nuclei project directly to adjacent blood vessels and do not comigrate with the hypothalamo-neurohypophysial fiber pathway. On the basis of these findings it can be concluded that in the hypothalamus two different angiotensinergic and vasopressinergic neurosecretory systems exist: (1) an intrinsic hypothalamic and (2) a hypothalamo-neurohypophysial system. The distribution of the accessory cell groups in the hypothalamus is shown in a 3D reconstruction which includes the connection of these magnocellular nuclei with the vascular system in this area.  相似文献

Systemic and central administration of methacholine (a synthetic choline derivative) both produced dose-dependent decreases in rectal temperature in rats at all the ambient temperatures studied. Both at room temperature (22 degrees C) and in the cold (8 degrees C), the hypothermia in response to methacholine application was brought about by both a decrease in metabolic heat production and an increase in cutaneous circulation. In the heat (29 degrees C), the hypothermia was due solely to an increase in respiratory evaporative heat loss. Furthermore, the methacholine-induced hypothermia was antagonized by central pretreatment of atropine (a selective blocker of cholinergic receptors), but not by the central administration of either 6-hydroxydopamine (a relative depletor of catecholaminergic nerve fibers) or 5,6-dihydroxytryptamine (predominately a serotonin depletor). The data indicate that activation of the cholinergic receptors within brain with methacholine decreases heat production and (or) increases heat loss which leads to hypothermia in rats.  相似文献

We studied the effects of an acute (45 min) exposure to a 60 Hz magnetic field on sodium-dependent, high-affinity choline uptake in the brain of the rat. Decreases in uptake were observed in the frontal cortex and hippocampus after the animals were exposed to a magnetic field at flux densities ? 0.75 mT. These effects of the magnetic field were blocked by pretreating the animals with the narcotic antagonist naltrexone, but not by the peripheral opioid antagonist, naloxone methiodide. These data indicate that the magnetic-field-induced decreases in high-affinity choline uptake in the rat brain were mediated by endogenous opioids in the central nervous systems. © 1993 Wiley-Liss, Inc.  相似文献

Contraceptive steroid treatment to female rat alters the concentration of acetylcholine and gamma-aminobutyric acid, though not uniformly in most of the brain areas, i.e. in cerebellum, medulla oblongata-pons, hypothalamus, striatum-hippocampus, midbrain-thalamus-subthalamus, and cortex. Both neutrotransmitters vary conjointly in the hypothalamus and striatum-hippocampus after combined steroid treatment. This may indicate a concerted effect on the modulation of gonadotrophin release.  相似文献

The use of two different polyclonal, affinity-purified, monospecific antibodies to ANG II (called BODE and BODE 1) revealed dissimilar distribution of ANG II immunoreactivity within the rat central nervous system (CNS). The ANG II-like material detected using BODE was concentrated in the neurosecretory hypothalamic nuclei, in the inner layer of the median eminence and in the posterior lobe of the pituitary. In contrast, the BODE 1 antibody did not stain the hypothalamic-neurohypophysial angiotensinergic system, and the staining pattern was much more broadly distributed throughout the CNS. BODE 1 is the first antibody that can be used to verify the locations of endogenous angiotensin and their receptor sites in the CNS. The diverse distribution of the ANG II-like material detected by the two antibodies provides strong evidence for the existence of at least two different angiotensinergic systems in the CNS.  相似文献

Background  

The hypothalamic-neurohypophysial system plays a fundamental role in the maintenance of body fluid homeostasis by secreting arginine vasopressin (AVP) and oxytocin (OT) in response to a variety of signals, including osmotic and nonosmotic stimuli. It is well established that central cholinergic mechanisms are critical in the regulation of cardiovascular responses and maintenance of body fluid homeostasis in adults. Our recent study demonstrated that intracerebroventricular (i.c.v.) injection of carbachol elicited an increase of blood pressure in the near-term ovine fetuses. However, in utero development of brain cholinergic mechanisms in the regulation of the hypothalamic neuropeptides is largely unknown. This study investigated AVP and OT neural activation in the fetal hypothalamus induced by central carbachol.  相似文献

We speculated that the influence of lateral preoptic area (LPO) in sodium balance, involves arginine8-vasopressin (AVP) and angiotensin (ANG II) on Na+ uptake in LPO. Therefore, the present study investigated the effects of central administration of specific AVP and ANG II antagonists (d(CH2)5-Tyr (Me)-AVP (AAVP) and [Adamanteanacetyl1, 0-ET-d-Tyr2, Val4, Aminobutyryl6, Arg(8,9)]-AVP (ATAVP) antagonists of V1 and V2 receptors of AVP. Also the effects of losartan and CGP42112A (selective ligands of the AT1 and AT2 angiotensin receptors, respectively), was investigated on Na+ uptake and renal fluid and electrolyte excretion. After an acclimatization period of 7 days, the animals were maintained under tribromoethanol (200 mg/kg body weight, intraperitonial) anesthesia and placed in a Kopf stereotaxic instrument. Stainless guide cannula was implanted into the LPO. AAVP and ATAVP injected into the LPO prior to AVP produced a reduction in the NaCl intake. Both the AT1 and AT2 ligands administered into the LPO elicited a decrease in the NaCl intake induced by AVP injected into the LPO. AVP injection into the LPO increased sodium renal excretion, but this was reduced by prior AAVP administration. The ATAVP produced a decreased in the natriuretic effect of AVP. The losartan injected into LPO previous to AVP decreased the sodium excretion and the CGP 421122A also decreased the natriuretic effect of AVP. The AVP produced an antidiuresis effect that was inhibited by prior administration into LPO of the ATAVP. The AAVP produced no change in the antidiuretic effect of AVP. These results suggest that LPO are implicated in sodium balance that is mediated by V1, V2, AT1 and AT2 receptors.  相似文献

Intracerebroventricular (ICV) microinjection of arginine vasopressin (AVP) to pentobarbital-anesthetized rats produced shortening of the duration of narcosis. This analeptic effect was blocked by atropine, indicating the central cholinergic nature of the response. AVP also increased hippocampal sodium-dependent high affinity choline uptake activity that had been depressed by the barbiturate. The AVP analeptic effect was blocked by pretreatment with a V-1 (vasopressor), but not a V-2 (antidiuretic), vasopressin receptor antagonist. These results suggest that ICV AVP produces its analeptic effect by interacting with central V-1 receptors to activate a hippocampal cholinergic arousal system. The cholinergic arousal effect may be a factor in the memory enhancing property of AVP.  相似文献
