Kinetics of chloroquine and daunorubicin (DNR) uptake by cultured L cells (subline LSM) has been studied. With their constant concentrations in the medium the uptake of both chloroquine and DNR was characterized as a two phase process. Within 1.5-2 hours, these cells accumulated as much as 90 per cent of the total chloroquine and DNR amounts taken up during the whole incubation period. The segregation and accumulation of these substances took place in lysosomes. Chloroquine and DNR concentrations within lysosomes exceed those in the medium by 1100 and 5000 times, respectively. The chloroquine and DNR accumulation in lysosomes inhibited activities of some lysosomal hydrolases tested: cathepsins B and D, N-acetyl-beta, D-glucosaminidase and acid phosphatase. Unlike, the activity of acid lipase was not affected by chloroquine, and was sufficiently stimulated (by 55%) by DNR. The mechanism of inhibition of lysosomal enzymes by chloroquine and DNR is not yet known, although some suggestions are made. Possible consequences of lysosomal activity inhibition for cell metabolism are discussed in addition to a possible role of lysosomotropic agents as regulators of lysosomal functional activity. 相似文献

Variations of endocytic and of lysosomal functions during the cell cycle have been investigated in synchronized hepatoma cells (derived from Morris hepatoma 7288c) by following the cellular uptake of horseradish peroxidase, dextran (mol wt. 70,000), and chloroquine. Cell fractionation and cytochemistry show that in asynchronously growing cells exposed for 1 h to 5 mg/ml peroxidase, the bulk of the enzyme taken up by the cells is found in phagosomes. By using the same experimental system with synchronized HTC cells, large variations of endocytosis are observed during the cell cycle. Peroxidase uptake is lowest during mitosis, increases 5--10 times during G1 phase, reaches a plateau, and finally decreases at the end of S phase and during G2 phase. A similar evolution is observed for the uptake of dextran (0.5 or 1 mg/ml), but it is likely that a significant part of the polysaccharide is still associated with the pericellular surface after 1 h. Moreover, dextran is transferred more slowly than peroxidase to lysosomes. Cellular accumulation of chloroquine is related to intralysosomal pH or to the buffering capacity of lysosomes. Our results show that this drug is taken up more rapidly during G1 and S phases while the rate of accumulation is lowest in mitotic cells. The results are discussed in relation to the modifications of the physical properties of lysosomes during the cell cycle observed previously by cell fractionation and electron microsocopy, and to the possible role of lysosomes in the initiation of mitosis. Cyclic changes of endocytosis in actively dividing cells are demonstrated by our observations and may induce large differences in the uptake rate of extracellular substances. 相似文献

The morphologic pathway of exocytosis of the vesicular stomatitis virus G protein in cultured fibroblasts 总被引:11,自引:0,他引:11
Cultured fibroblasts were infected with vesicular stomatitis virus (VSV) and the pathway of exocytosis of G protein, the transmembrane glycoprotein of VSV, was followed by immunofluorescence and electron microscopy. G protein was detected within the endoplasmic reticulum, within smooth vesicles and stacks in the Golgi region and on the cell surface. No G protein was detected in the coated regions of the Golgi. Our data are consistent with the hypothesis that coated regions of the Golgi are involved in transfer of lysosomal enzymes and other substances to lysosomes and not in exocytosis. 相似文献

Lysosomes contain abundant ATP, which is released through lysosomal exocytosis following exposure to various stimuli. However, the molecular mechanisms underlying lysosomal ATP accumulation remain unknown. The vesicular nucleotide transporter, also known as solute carrier family 17 member 9 (SLC17A9), has been shown to function in ATP transport across secretory vesicles/granules membrane in adrenal chromaffin cells, T cells, and pancreatic cells. Here, using mammalian cell lines, we report that SLC17A9 is highly enriched in lysosomes and functions as an ATP transporter in those organelles. SLC17A9 deficiency reduced lysosome ATP accumulation and compromised lysosome function, resulting in cell death. Our data suggest that SLC17A9 activity mediates lysosomal ATP accumulation and plays an important role in lysosomal physiology and cell viability. 相似文献

Polysaccharides in the vacuolar system of an established line of monkey kidney epithelial cells, were investigated by high resolution radioautography following incorporation of 3H-fucose and by the periodic acid-thiosemicarbazide-silver proteinate staining method. Significant amounts of glycogen and glycoproteins were found in different lysosomes and prelysosomes. The radioautographic labeling of these substances correlated with the cytochemical observations. Analysis of the 3H-fucose pattern of labeling suggests that glycoproteins are transported through the different components of the vacuolar system of the cell in a sequential fashion rather than via independent pathways. The possible functional significance of polysaccharides in lysosomes is discussed. It is suggested that glycogen is taken up by lysosomes through autophagic segregation and through infolding and vesiculation of the lysosomal surface, and that the majority of glycoprotein in the lysosomal membranes does not have acid hydrolase activity. 相似文献

重金属污染对昆虫生长发育的影响 总被引:5,自引:0,他引:5
重金属污染已经成为一个全球性的环境问题,对生物多样性和人类健康构成了严重威胁。作为全球生物多样性的重要组成部分,昆虫因重金属污染而受到的潜在影响同样引起了人们的普遍关注。过量重金属可对昆虫的生长发育产生影响。环境中的重金属可通过昆虫的呼吸、表皮和摄食等途径进入昆虫体内,进入昆虫体内的过量重金属不仅能引起昆虫细胞超微结构的变化和遗传物质的改变,还可诱导昆虫细胞凋亡并影响细胞的活力和增殖。但昆虫能将过量的重金属以金属颗粒形式储存在具消化、存储或分泌功能的器官中,也能将其转运至溶酶体中解毒。同时,金属结合蛋白和抗氧化酶在昆虫对重金属的解毒过程中具有重要作用。 相似文献

The purpose of the presentation is to interconnect and illuminate certain parts of metabolism regarding stress signalling and defensive functions, including secondary metabolism in intact plants and plant tissue cultures. Increased cell/tissue levels of reactive oxygen species like H2O2, O2
- and ·OH and the metabolism of glutathione, are linked to defensive/secondary metabolism and tissue differentiation. Special attention is paid to nicotinamide. A hypothetical role of nicotinamide and its metabolites as stress signals is also put forward especially in connection with hypomethylation of DNA. A role of DNA hypomethylation, as a link between various types of stressors and the induction of plant devensive metabolism, is discussed. We suggest that nicotinamide or nicotinamide based substances may be of value within biotechnology for the production of valuable substances as well as for plant protection.Abbreviations BSO

The epithelium of the digestive tubules of the mussel Mytilus galloprovincialis is comprised of two cell types, namely digestive and basophilic cells. In basophilic cells, the secretory granules are beta-glucuronidase immunoreactive, a fact that enhances the hypothesis that beta-glucuronidase is synthesized in basophilic cells. A novel observation at the ultrastructural level is the pinocytic activity associated with the formation of coated pits. This observation constitutes direct evidence for endocytic processes taking place in basophilic cells. The use of cryostat sections from the same digestive tubules reveals, in many instances, a very pronounced neutral lipid accumulation in the same structures giving a positive reaction for N-acetyl-beta-hexosaminidase, indicating the association of those lipids with lysosomes. In some mussels, a high content of lipofuscin was observed in the lysosomes of the digestive cells. In these cases, the lysosomal structures show a limited neutral lipid content, and a weaker N-acetyl-beta-hexosaminidase reaction. In the digestive cells, the carbohydrate content of the lysosomes, and very well-developed canal system in the apical part of cells are discussed in relation to their function. 相似文献

Autophagy helps deliver sequestered intracellular cargo to lysosomes for proteolytic degradation and thereby maintains cellular homeostasis by preventing accumulation of toxic substances in cells. In a forward mosaic screen in Drosophila designed to identify genes required for neuronal function and maintenance, we identified multiple cacophony (cac) mutant alleles. They exhibit an age-dependent accumulation of autophagic vacuoles (AVs) in photoreceptor terminals and eventually a degeneration of the terminals and surrounding glia. cac encodes an α1 subunit of a Drosophila voltage-gated calcium channel (VGCC) that is required for synaptic vesicle fusion with the plasma membrane and neurotransmitter release. Here, we show that cac mutant photoreceptor terminals accumulate AV-lysosomal fusion intermediates, suggesting that Cac is necessary for the fusion of AVs with lysosomes, a poorly defined process. Loss of another subunit of the VGCC, α2δ or straightjacket (stj), causes phenotypes very similar to those caused by the loss of cac, indicating that the VGCC is required for AV-lysosomal fusion. The role of VGCC in AV-lysosomal fusion is evolutionarily conserved, as the loss of the mouse homologues, Cacna1a and Cacna2d2, also leads to autophagic defects in mice. Moreover, we find that CACNA1A is localized to the lysosomes and that loss of lysosomal Cacna1a in cerebellar cultured neurons leads to a failure of lysosomes to fuse with endosomes and autophagosomes. Finally, we show that the lysosomal CACNA1A but not the plasma-membrane resident CACNA1A is required for lysosomal fusion. In summary, we present a model in which the VGCC plays a role in autophagy by regulating the fusion of AVs with lysosomes through its calcium channel activity and hence functions in maintaining neuronal homeostasis. 相似文献

A conception of the molecular mechanism of the universal nonspecific cell response (NCR) to the action of all damaging factors of physical and chemical nature is described. The mechanism is shown to be closely related to the general principles of the structural-functional organization of cells and to the properties of biological macromolecules. Among them are the phenomenon of nonspecific regulation of the enzyme activity by low-molecular substances and the compartmentation of the latter within the cell, which is provided by the system of intracellular membranes. Special attention is paid to the role of disturbance of the barrier function, of membranes in the development of the nonspecific cell response, and the activation of repair of cell injuries. Based on the theory of nonspecific cell response, the stimulating effect of weak action of agents that damage the cells at high doses (the phenomenon named as hormesis) is explained. 相似文献

The distribution of a number of membrane proteins on plasmalemmal microdomains (microvilli, coated pits) and in endosomes and lysosomes of the proximal tubule epithelial cell was determined in normal rat kidneys by immunofluorescence and immunoelectron microscopy. Two major brush border proteins, 130 and 94 kD, and gamma-glutamyl transpeptidase were detected on the membranes of the microvilli but were not found on membranes of coated pits. Gp330, the Heymann nephritis antigen, and clathrin were localized in coated pits. The lysosomal membrane glycoprotein, lgp120 (Lewis, V., S. A. Green, M. Marsh, P. Vihko, A. Helenius, and I. Mellman, 1985, J. Cell Biol., 100: 1839-1847) was restricted to lysosomes where it co-localized with beta-glucuronidase. Endosomes, identified by preloading with HRP injected 5-15 min before rats were killed, did not contain detectable amounts of any antigen tested. The distribution of the same proteins was also determined in rats given sodium maleate, which is known to slow or reduce protein absorption by the proximal tubule and to cause vacuolation of the endocytic apparatus. After maleate treatment the distribution of microvillar and lysosomal markers was unchanged, but the coated pit markers were redistributed--gp330 was concentrated in newly formed apical vacuoles, and clathrin was diffusely distributed in the apical cytoplasm or on apical coated vesicles. These findings indicate that the membrane composition of microvilli, coated pits, endosomes, and lysosomes is distinctive in the proximal tubule cell; and that gp330, unlike other known coated pit membrane components, is not transferred to endosomes during endocytosis. After maleate treatment, the coated pits lose their clathrin coats, and the corresponding membrane is internalized. 相似文献

A sound approach to the root usage as model objects for the assessment of biological activity of chemical substances and environmental
stressors is suggested on the basis of the analysis of various inhibitor and radiation action on the root. It is analyzed
on the cellular level, how steady growth is maintained under various stress action. Special attention is paid to the meristematic
cell transition to elongation, which is controlled by the two groups of processes: the first ones determine the rate of cell
proliferation and the second ones determine the cell life span in the meristem. The rate of cell proliferation is rather sensitive
to various treatments; in contrast, the processes controlling the cell life span in the meristem are rather stable. It is
shown that studying the kinetics of the root growth rate gives much more information than a single measurement of root length
increment. A possibility of root usage for the search of efficient cytostatics is exemplified. The role of the quiescent center
in growth resumption after various stressful treatments is considered. 相似文献

No lysosomes were found in the frog intact erythrocytes with electron microscope. Under the influence of neutral red (NR-8.7.10(-5) M) and novocaine (N-4.6.10(-3) M) segregation zones (vacuoles) including these substances are formed. Using electron microscopy and morphometry the action of NR and N for 5 minutes up to 48 hours was found to provoke the formation of four types of vacuoles differing in their morphology: with electron-transparent content, with amorphous inclusions and membrane whorls. The dynamics of vacuole formation, of their changes and amount were followed depending on the time of exposition of these substances. Biochemical investigation of both NR and N isolated vacuoles showed in these some activities of lysosomal marker enzymes--acid phosphatase and N-acetyl-beta,D-glucosaminidase. Ultrastructural investigation of acid phosphatase localization in the isolated vacuoles revealed the histochemical reaction product mainly in electron-translucent vacuoles (primary lysosomes) and partly in electron dense ones (secondary lysosomes). On the ground of the above studies a conclusion is made that in frog erythrocytes treated with NR and N lysosome formation is induced to be followed by the induced autophagocytosis and heterophagocytosis. Some possible ways of the vacuolar system formation in frog erythrocytes and the origin of lysosomal hydrolases are discussed. 相似文献

Lysosome biogenesis mediated by vps-18 affects apoptotic cell degradation in Caenorhabditis elegans 总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1
Appropriate clearance of apoptotic cells (cell corpses) is an important step of programmed cell death. Although genetic and biochemical studies have identified several genes that regulate the engulfment of cell corpses, how these are degraded after being internalized in engulfing cell remains elusive. Here, we show that VPS-18, the Caenorhabditis elegans homologue of yeast Vps18p, is critical to cell corpse degradation. VPS-18 is expressed and functions in engulfing cells. Deletion of vps-18 leads to significant accumulation of cell corpses that are not degraded properly. Furthermore, vps-18 mutation causes strong defects in the biogenesis of endosomes and lysosomes, thus affecting endosomal/lysosomal protein degradation. Importantly, we demonstrate that phagosomes containing internalized cell corpses are unable to fuse with lysosomes in vps-18 mutants. Our findings thus provide direct evidence for the important role of endosomal/lysosomal degradation in proper clearance of apoptotic cells during programmed cell death. 相似文献

Acetylated low-density lipoprotein is endocytosed through coated pits by rat peritoneal macrophages 总被引:4,自引:0,他引:4

The surface distribution of the scavenger receptors for acetylated low-density lipoprotein (acetyl-LDL) and their endocytic behavior were studied by the direct immunoperoxidase method using monomeric conjugates of horseradish peroxidase with Fab' antibody raised against LDL. The receptors were demonstrated to be distributed diffusely on the surface membrane of cultured peritoneal macrophages, with preferential localization in coated pit regions. With temperature shift from 4 degrees C to 37 degrees C, acetyl-LDL bound to the surface membrane rapidly disappeared, but became detectable in coated vesicles or lysosomes. Further incubation in the presence of acetyl-LDL revealed lipid vacuoles devoid of a limiting membrane in the cytoplasm, transforming macrophages into typical foam cells. These data suggest that the binding of acetyl-LDL to its receptors triggers the clustering of the receptors into the coated pit regions through which acetyl-LDL is endocytosed by coated vesicles to be degraded in lysosomes with subsequent intracellular accumulation of cholesterol esters. 相似文献

Autophagy functions as a survival mechanism during cellular stress and contributes to resistance against anticancer agents. The selective antitumor and antimetastatic chelator di-2-pyridylketone 4,4-dimethyl-3-thiosemicarbazone (Dp44mT) causes lysosomal membrane permeabilization and cell death. Considering the integral role of lysosomes in autophagy and cell death, it was important to assess the effect of Dp44mT on autophagy to further understand its mechanism of action. Notably, Dp44mT affected autophagy by two mechanisms. First, concurrent with its antiproliferative activity, Dp44mT increased the expression of the classical autophagic marker LC3-II as a result of induced autophagosome synthesis. Second, this effect was supplemented by a reduction in autophagosome degradation as shown by the accumulation of the autophagic substrate and receptor p62. Conversely, the classical iron chelator desferrioxamine induced autophagosome accumulation only by inhibiting autophagosome degradation. The formation of redox-active iron or copper Dp44mT complexes was critical for its dual effect on autophagy. The cytoprotective antioxidant N-acetylcysteine inhibited Dp44mT-induced autophagosome synthesis and p62 accumulation. Importantly, Dp44mT inhibited autophagosome degradation via lysosomal disruption. This effect prevented the fusion of lysosomes with autophagosomes to form autolysosomes, which is crucial for the completion of the autophagic process. The antiproliferative activity of Dp44mT was suppressed by Beclin1 and ATG5 silencing, indicating the role of persistent autophagosome synthesis in Dp44mT-induced cell death. These studies demonstrate that Dp44mT can overcome the prosurvival activity of autophagy in cancer cells by utilizing this process to potentiate cell death. 相似文献

Transcellular transport in epithelial cells plays an important role in providing such physiological functions as excretion of cytotoxic substances or reabsorption of metabolites useful for the body life activity. These functions have been shown to be performed by the mechanisms - symport, antiport, ion pumps, and channels - that often function cooperatively. Kinetic models of the substrate transport with the aid of the above mechanisms are widely described in the literature. Much less attention is paid to modeling of cooperative activity of transporters that have different transport mechanisms. In this work we propose a mathematical model for flux coupling of three transporters - the ion pump, symporter, and antiporter as well as of two substrates, one of which (A) can be transported simultaneously by the symport and antiport mechanisms, while the other (B) - only by the latter mechanisms. Analysis of the model has shown that for the pair of substrates (A and B) the flux coupling becomes possible if the following conditions are met: (1) the substrate A flux into the internal cell volume using the symport mechanism is to exceed its antiporter-realized flux in the opposite direction; (2) probability of reorientation from one side of membrane to the other side for the antiporter loaded with the substrate is to be essentially higher than that for empty transporter. The proposed model can be used for comparing efficiency both of excretion and of reabsorption of cell metabolites in representatives of different taxa. 相似文献

The rat ganglion nodosum was used to study chromatolysis following axon section. After fixation by aldehyde perfusion, frozen sections were incubated for enzyme activities used as markers for cytoplasmic organelles as follows: acid phosphatase for lysosomes and GERL (a Golgi-related region of smooth endoplasmic reticulum from which lysosomes appear to develop) (31–33); inosine diphosphatase for endoplasmic reticulum and Golgi apparatus; thiamine pyrophosphatase for Golgi apparatus; acetycholinesterase for Nissl substance (endoplasmic reticulum); NADH-tetra-Nitro BT reductase for mitochondria. All but the mitochondrial enzyme were studied by electron microscopy as well as light microscopy. In chromatolytic perikarya there occur disruption of the rough endoplasmic reticulum in the center of the cell and segregation of the remainder to the cell periphery. Golgi apparatus, GERL, mitochondria and lysosomes accumulate in the central region of the cell. GERL is prominent in both normal and operated perikarya. Electron microscopic images suggest that its smooth endoplasmic reticulum produces a variety of lysosomes in several ways: (a) coated vesicles that separate from the reticulum; (b) dense bodies that arise from focal areas dilated with granular or membranous material; (c) "multivesicular bodies" in which vesicles and other material are sequestered; (d) autophagic vacuoles containing endoplasmic reticulum and ribosomes, presumably derived from the Nissl material, and mitochondria. The number of autophagic vacuoles increases following operation. 相似文献

Increased intracellular free zinc concentrations are associated with activation of several stress signaling pathways, specific
organelle injury and final cell death. In the present work we examined the involvement of mitochondria and lysosomes and their
crosstalk in free zinc-induced cell demise. We report that treatment of cervical tumor Hep-2 cells with zinc pyrithione leads
to an early appearance of cytoplasmic zinc-specific foci with corresponding accumulation of zinc first in mitochondria and
later in lysosomes. Concomitant with these changes, upregulation of expression of metallothionein II A gene as well as the
increased abundance of its protein occurs. Moreover, zinc activates p53 and its dependent genes including Puma and Bax and
they contribute to an observed loss of mitochondrial membrane potential and activation of apoptosis. Conversely, lysosomal
membrane permeabilization and its promoted cleavage of Bid occurs in a delayed manner in treated cells and their effect on
decrease of mitochondrial membrane potential is limited. The use of specific inhibitors as well as siRNA technology suggest
a crucial role of MT-IIA in trafficking of free zinc into mitochondria or lysosomes and regulation of apoptotic or necrotic
cell demise. 相似文献
