An investigation on cell cultures obtained from temporal human bone fragments showed that they provide a suitable model for studying the mechanism involved in calcitonin action on bone cells. Furthermore they demonstrated: a transitory increase in 45Ca uptake that returned to control values ten minutes after the hormone was added; a relation between 45Ca uptake and increased cAMP concentrations when these were measured at the same time intervals; a reproduction of the salmon calcitonin (sCT) effect after incubation of the cultures with either db-cAMP or db-cGMP and inhibition of 45Ca uptake and parallel decrease in cAMP levels with propanol. These results suggest that in human bone cell cultures, sCT acts as a temporary promoter of 45Ca uptake, probably by activating an adenylate-cyclase system through a beta-receptor. 相似文献

Some features of molecular mechanisms of adenylate-cyclase system of native human erythrocytes were studied by the UHF-dielectrometry method. The results obtained show great changes in cell structure hydration when there is some influence on the membrane protein components which are involved in transmembrane signal transformation. The observed effects permit definite conclusions to be drawn concerning some molecular mechanisms of cell regulation. The obtained data demonstrated the following: the key role of N-protein, spatial separation of PGE2 regulatory centres and hormones on the beta-receptor, system modulation by the change of Ca2+ ions concentration in the presence of PGE2 and the connection of the alpha-receptor with the calcium slow channel. 相似文献

Summary The cytochemical localization of adenylate cyclase was studied in relation to the secretory function of the anterior pituitary glands of male rats. The reaction product of adenylate cyclase was localized on the outside of plasma membranes, but was not detected intracellularly. High activity of adenylate cyclase was detected on somatotrophs and microvilli of follicular cells, whereas no activity was found on thyrotrophs or corticotrophs. Although most of the gonadotrophs showed little or no adenylate-cyclase activity, some was detected in a small number of gonadotrophs in the central portion of the gland. In somatotrophs, activity was not detected on the plasma membranes facing perivascular spaces where exocytotic extrusion of secretory granules was frequently observed, although the remaining areas of plasma membranes of the same somatotrophs were associated with high levels of adenylate-cyclase activity. These findings indicate that the association of a high level of adenylate-cyclase activity is not directly related to the ability of the plasma membranes to fuse with secretory granule membranes. 相似文献

There is a possibility that the cardioprotective effect of adaptation to intermittent hypoxia is due to changes in receptors apparatus of the heart. In this connection the effect of preliminary adaptation to intermittent hypoxia (4 hours per day at the altitude of 4000 m during 40 days) on the state of beta-receptors-adenylate-cyclase system and same other receptors of the heart were studied. It was shown that at the end of the course of adaptation the number of beta-adrenoceptors in the heart was increased with simultaneous decrease in basal adenylate-cyclase activity, accompanied by the diminution of its response to beta-agonist. The number of beta-adrenoceptors was increased by 48% and their affinity to ligand was increased by almost 2 times. The revealed decrease in the reactivity of beta-receptor-adenylate-cyclase system and increase of alpha 1-adrenoreactivity can play a certain role in the mechanism of cardioprotective effect of adaptation to hypoxia. 相似文献

The arachidonate inhibition of the adenylate-cyclase system of cultured pig thyroid cells was not mediated by cyclooxygenase, lipoxygenase or peroxidase metabolites. Indeed ETYA, an inhibitor of cyclooxygenase and lipoxygenase, and methimazole, an inhibitor of peroxidase and iodination were without effect on the arachidonate inhibition. Moreover the effect of arachidonate was amplified by a combination with ETYA. In 32P incorporation experiments we observed a modification of the labelling of individual phospholipids of cultured pig thyroid cells resulting in a decrease into phosphatidylinositol (PI) and an increase into phosphatidate (PA) of arachidonate and ETYA-treated cells. These results may be explained by an inhibition of CDP-diacylglycerol: inositol transferase and conversely a stimulation of PI specific phospholipase C yielding a decrease in PI and an increase in PA, which inhibits in turn adenylate cyclase activity possibly by Ca2+ translocation. 相似文献

The results presented in this study indicate that the defect in catecholamine-stimulated adenylate-cyclase which is characteristic of the ob/ob mouse is associated with a decrease in the sensitivity of the system to guanine nucleotides (guanosine 5'-[beta gamma-imido]triphosphate and guanosine 5'-triphosphate). No difference in the beta-adrenergic receptor activity was found between the lean and obese mice on the basis of their capacity to bind the beta-adrenergic antagonist [3H]dihydroalprenolol. The data suggest that a defect in the activation of the adenylate cyclase by beta-adrenergic agents may reside in the guanyl nucleotide binding site(s). 相似文献

The possible involvement of arachidonic acid (AA) or its metabolites in beta-adrenoceptor desensitization has been studied in rat lung parenchyma both from a functional and a biochemical point of view. In vitro perfusion of rat lungs with AA (3 X 10(-5)M for 20 min) reduced the relaxant effect of isoproterenol (ISO) on lung parenchymal strips, shown by a shift to the right of ISO dose-response curve, similar to that obtained using desensitizing concentration of specific beta-agonist. Moreover, AA treatment reduced the capacity of ISO to stimulate adenylate-cyclase activity, whereas the number of beta-receptor binding sites was not significantly modified. Inhibition of cyclo-oxygenase pathway by indomethacin (INDO) (1.5 X 10(-5)M) prevented both the loss of ISO-relaxing capacity and the decrease of adenylate-cyclase activity induced by AA treatment. In order to support the role of eicosanoids in beta-adrenoceptor desensitization, changes of endogenous free AA levels have also been studied in lung homogenates. Perfusion of rat lung with ISO (10(-6)M for 20 min) decreased by about 50% the levels of free AA and the pretreatment with BW755C (9 X 10(-5)M), a lipo- and cyclo-oxygenase inhibitor, prevented this phenomenon. On the basis of these results, we suggest that the activation of AA cascade is actually involved in beta-adrenoceptor desensitization in lung tissues with a possible interference at the site beyond the drug-receptor interaction. 相似文献

Brown adipose tissue (BAT) lipogenesis (fatty acid, glycerol and CO2 synthesis) and its morphology determined by optical microscopy, were studied in guinea pigs and rats during intra-uterine life and during the suckling period. Following the receptor induction and after the commencement of the hormone sensitive adenylate-cyclase/lipase system (i.e. on the 60th day in guinea pigs, on the 20th day in rats), the fetal BAT releases fatty acids (NEFA) and is capable of allowing the non-shivering thermogenesis. When the maternal diet and, consequently, the fetal or neonatal BAT are supplied with considerable linoleic acid, NEFA contain a large proportion of essential fatty acids. In vitro, the greater the linoleic acid concentration in these NEFA, the less inhibited is the lipogenesis from (2-14C) pyruvate. Thus, in periods just preceding or succeeding birth, fatty acid and glycerol synthesis are higher when the feto-maternal and/or the milk supply are enriched in linoleic acid than when they contain a large proportion of endogenous fatty acids. Morphological studies indicate that the adipose cell evolution could be nonidentical in BAT more or less enriched in essential fatty acids. Linoleic enriched BAT (of animals born to females kept on a sunflower oil diet) seemed to be in a healthy physiological state at birth, perhaps due to rapid lipid renewal and synthesis in their membranes. The control BAT (of animals born to females kept on a lard diet) appeared loaded with fats and in a worse conservation state at the same age. 相似文献

The possible involvement of arachidonic acid (AA) or its metabolites in β-adrenoceptor desensitization has been studied in rat lung parenchyma both from a functional and a biochemical point of view. In vitro perfusion of rat lungs with AA (3×10?5M for 20 min) reduced the relaxant effect of isoproterenol (ISO) on lung parenchymal strips, shown by a shift to the right of ISO dose-response curve, similar to that obtained using desensitizing concentration of specific β-agonist. Moreover, AA treatment reduced the capacity of ISO to stimulate adenylate-cyclase activity, whereas the number of β-receptor binding sites was not significantly modified. Inhibition of cyclo-oxygenase pathway by indomethacin (INDO) (1.5 × 10?5M) prevented both the loss of ISO-relaxing capacity and the decrease of adenylate-cyclase activity induced by AA treatment. In order to support the role of eicosanoids in β-adrenoceptor desensitization, changes of endogenous free AA levels have also been studied in lung homogenates. Perfusion of rat lung with ISO (10?6M for 20 min) decreased by about 50% the levels of free AA and the pretreatment with BW755C (9×10?5M), a lipo- and cyclo-oxygenase inhibitor, prevented this phenomenon. On the basis of these results, we suggest that the activation of AA cascade is actually involved in β-adrenoceptor desensitization in lung tissues with a possible interference at the site beyond the drug-receptor interaction. 相似文献

Morphine, enkephalins, nalorphine, naloxone and pentazocine are shown to have a peripheral analgesic effect. In our modification of the Randall-Selitto test these substances were 50--100 times more potent than a standard local anaesthetic, lidocaine. At this peripheral site, naloxone did not antagonize the effect of morphine. Morphine had a marked analgesic effect on the hyperalgesia induced by PGE2 and PGI2, BaCl2, Ca2+ ionophore A23187, isoprenaline but not on that induced by dibutyryl cyclic AMP. It was suggested that the peripheral analgesic effect of morphine is due to an inhibition of adenylate-cyclase activity. 相似文献

The expression of colicin genes is controlled by the SOS-system (Lex A repressor) and the adenylate-cyclase system (cAMP-CAP complex). The effect of plasmid DNA supercoiling on the expression of the operons of colicins E1, E2, and E3 has been studied by using E. coli minicells. It has been shown for the colicin E1 operon that it is the promoter that is influenced by supercoiling: an increase in negative supercoiling elevates the expression and, vice versa, DNA relaxation reduces the expression. The effect of supercoiling on gene activity of the colicin E1 immunity protein has not been observed, which may be due to the specific orientation of this gene. With the two other colicins supercoiling affects the expression of all genes which constitute the operon. The regulation of the colicin operon expression has been confirmed to occur at three levels: by the LexA protein, by the cAMP-CAP complex, and by the plasmid DNA supercoiling. 相似文献

The effect of exogenous gangliosides on the occurrence of domes in MDCK cell cultures was investigated in view of the involvement of both dome formation and gangliosides in cell growth, differentiation and transepithelial transport. Dome formation was increased by gangliosides in medium free of fetal calf serum. Among the gangliosides tested, GM3 and GD3 isolated from porcine kidney were most active, increasing the dome number 12-17-fold. Since gangliosides from kidney were more active than those from brain and erythrocytes, the hydrophobic moiety as well as sialic acid might be involved in this activity. These results indicate that tissue-specific molecules of gangliosides function as inducers or mediators of dome formation. The mechanism probably involves adenylate-cyclase or another transmembrane biosignal-transducing system. 相似文献

In a protozoan (Tetrahymena) model system, insulin treatment produced a long-term imprinting which upon re-exposure to the hormone resulted in an enhanced binding of the hormone. Insulin pretreatment produced similar effect with regard to the binding of concanavalin-A. Concanavalin-A could only induce a short-term imprinting for itself and was not capable at all of inducing imprinting for insulin. Based on the results of this study it appears that the binding of the sugar component of the receptor, which can be achieved also by lectin, is not sufficient to induce imprinting but the whole (hormone) molecule is needed. 相似文献

The purpose of this study was to characterize the changes of hormonal function of the adrenals and gonads during aging in male baboons ( Papio hamadryas ). Basal levels of plasma dehydroepiandrosterone, dehydroepiandrosterone sulfate, pregnenolone, and 17-hydroxypregnenolone progressively decrease with age from 10–15 years when analyzed by specific radioimmunoassay. However, no significant changes were found in cortisol and 11-desoxycortisol concentrations. The levels of sexual hormones did not differ in young and mature groups. In the 20–26-year-old animals, the concentration of testicular androgens showed a tendency to decrease, while the concentration of biologically active luteinizing hormone (LH) showed a tendency to increase. The old animals exhibited a decrease of plasticity of the pituitary–testicular system, which was manifested in the deceleration of the decrease of LH and T concentrations after the peak values had been reached in response to luteinizing hormone-releasing hormone (LHRH) administration. The oldest male also developed some refractoriness of the pituitary–gonadal system to the prolonged administration of LHRH agonist. The hormonal imbalance which develops with age may play an important role in the age-related involutional process. 相似文献

Increased body burdens of metal cations are known to affect adversely reproductive function in several species. The effects of these metals on gonadal function are well documented. In contrast, little is known about their possible direct effects on pituitary hormone release. The purpose of this study was to determine, in vitro, the effects of nickel, cadmium, and zinc (50 μM) on both baseline and potassium chloride (KCl)-stimulated pituitary luteinizing hormone (LH), prolactin (Prl), and thyroid-stimulating hormone (TSH) release. Anterior pituitary fragments from adult male Long-Evans rats were evaluated using a continuous-flow perifusion system. Baseline and stimulated LH releases were unaffected by nickel and zinc; however, cadmium caused an increase in baseline LH secretion. Baseline Prl release was decreased by zinc, while cadmium resulted in increased release of this hormone. Stimulated Prl release was lower during exposure to zinc but unaltered by nickel and cadmium. Following exposure to zinc, a rebound in stimulated release was noted for all three hormones measured. These results showed that the metal cations tested did have a direct effect on pituitary hormone release at a dose lower than those reported to alter testicular function in vitro. Furthermore, the changes in pituitary hormone secretion varied depending upon the metal and hormone being evaluated. 相似文献

Properties of growth hormone receptors in relation to the adipose conversion of 3T3 cells 总被引:4,自引:0,他引:4
Cultured preadipose 3T3 cells undergo a process of differentiation in which they convert to adipose cells. Growth hormone promotes this conversion. Since 3T3 sublines vary in their susceptibility to adipose conversion, it was of interest to examine the properties of the growth hormone receptors in relation to that susceptibility. It was found that preadipose 3T3-F442A cells, which are able to convert to adipose cells with high frequency, are able to bind about 10(4) growth hormone molecules per cell with Kd approximately 10(-9) M. After adipose conversion, no appreciable change in hormone binding was detected. The binding of growth hormone to 3T3-C2 cells (a line virtually insusceptible to adipose conversion) was indistinguishable from that to 3T3-F442A cells. Internalization and degradation of the hormone were also similar in the two cell lines. Susceptibility to adipose conversion is therefore not determined by the relative ability of the cells to bind or degrade the hormone, but must instead depend on some response, as yet unidentified, that follows binding of the hormone. 相似文献

When two-day-old female Leptinotarsa decemlineata were starved, their corpus allatum activity, as measured by the radiochemical in vitro assay, was significantly reduced after 24 hr. Such a reduction was not observed when the nerve connections between the central nervous system and the retrocerebral complex were severed and the beetles starved up to 5 days. In some experiments, the rate of juvenile hormone biosynthesis in vitro, was substantiated by measurement of the juvenile hormone titre in the haemolymph by physico-chemical methods. It is concluded that intact nervous connections between the central nervous system and the corpora allata are essential for restraining the juvenile hormone biosynthesis during the initial stages of starvation.Corpora allata from 1-day starved insects were considerably stimulated in vitro by farnesenic acid indicating that juvenile hormone synthesis is controlled enzymatically at a stage prior to the final two steps in the pathway. However, on day 5 of starvation, rate-limitation may occur after formation of this intermediate, since farnesenic acid stimulation was much less at this time.Corpora allata of adult females newly emerged from the soil were activated within 4 hr regardless of feeding. 相似文献
