Tissue distribution of radioactive carbon from [U-14C]glucose in the mouse in vivo was studied by whole-body autoradiography. The mice were frozen with Dry-Ice-acetone at 0.5, 1, 5 and 30 min, 1 and 24 hr and 1 and 3 weeks after intraperitoneal injection of [U-14C]glucose. Whole-sagittal sections of the frozen mouse, obtained by using a microtome in a cryostat, were dried in a cryostat and autoradiographed. The resulting dry autoradiographs are called untreated autoradiographs in the present work. The sections were then fixed in cold 6% (w/v) HClO4, dried at room temperature and again autoradiographed. Autoradiographs that have undergone this process are referred to as treated autoradiographs. In both untreated and treated autoradiographs, within 1 min following injection of the labeled glucose, the abdominal cavity had the highest autoradiographic density. At 1 hr, density became highest in Harder's, sublingual and duodenal glands, large intestinal mucosa and tongue, and after 3 weeks, no autoradiographic denisty was present. 相似文献

Cross-reactive antibodies capable of binding to foreign and self Ag are present in the serum of normal newborn and adult animals. In our work, a chamber ELISA assay was used to quantitate the cross-reactivity of B cells actively secreting Ig in BALB/c mice of different ages. Individual lymphocytes were tested for the production of IgM antibodies capable of binding to a series of four unrelated Ag (DNA, TNP, actin, and OVA). Results indicate that nearly one-quarter of IgM secreting lymphocytes from 6-day-old animals were cross-reactive. This frequency was two- to fourfold higher than that found in adult mice. Very old animals, however, showed a selective increase in the cross-reactivity of anti-DNA (but not anti-TNP) secreting lymphocytes. Evidence from Ag inhibition experiments indicated that low concentrations of soluble Ag could block the binding of polyreactive antibodies, and that approximately one-half of "naturally" cross-reactive B cells produced antibodies capable of binding to three or more unrelated Ag. 相似文献

Mice homozygous for chromosomal deletions at or around the albino locus on chromosome 7 express reduced levels of a group of liver genes, including tyrosine aminotransferase (TAT) and phosphoenolpyruvate carboxykinase (PEPCK), and generally die perinatally. Sequences within the deleted region are thought to encode a regulatory factor(s) that affects expression of these genes in trans. To facilitate study of the putative factors, we immortalized hepatocytes derived from newborn cch wild-type and c14CoS deletion homozygous mice as well as cch/c14CoS heterozygous mice using a SV40 temperature-sensitive A255 mutant virus. Three c14CoS deletion homozygous hepatocyte lines were characterized and compared with the homozygous wild-type and heterozygous lines. The SV40 tsA255 mutant-transformed hepatocyte lines were temperature-sensitive for maintenance of transformation and expressed many liver-specific genes. In agreement with in vivo studies, hepatocyte lines derived from mice homozygous for the deletion expressed reduced mRNA levels of a number of liver genes including TAT, PEPCK, X1, X2, and X7 in comparison with heterozygous and wild-type cell lines. Similar mRNA levels of transferrin and albumin, genes whose expression is unaffected by the mutation in vivo, were observed in all cell lines. The expression of two genes, X5 and metallothionein, reported to be reduced in newborn mutant mice, did not differ appreciably among cell lines. TAT and PEPCK have been shown to respond poorly to glucocorticoids and cAMP in newborn mutant mice. Interestingly, all affected liver genes tested were responsive to glucocorticoids and dibutyryl cAMP in deletion homozygous cell lines as well as in wild-type and heterozygote-derived cell lines. This may suggest that effects of the deletion on expression of liver-specific genes do not cause loss of responsiveness to glucocorticoids and cAMP. These immortalized hepatocyte lines, which express most, if not all, liver-specific genes, should provide a useful means for further investigation of the effects of the albino lethal deletion. 相似文献

The hormonal control of [14C]glucose synthesis from [U-14C-A1dihydroxyacetone was studied in hepatocytes from fed and starved rats. In cells from fed rats, glucagon lowered the concentration of substrate giving half-half-maximal rates of incorporation while it had little or no effect on the maximal rate. Inhibitors of gluconeogenesis from pyruvate had no effect on the ability of the hormone to stimulate the synthesis of [14C]glucose from dihydroxyacetone. The concentrations of glucagon and epinephrine giving half-maximal stimulation from dihydroxacetone were 0.3 to 0.4 mM and 0.3 to 0.5 muM, respectively. The meaximal catecholamine stimulation was much less than the maximal stimulation by glucagon and was mediated largely by the alpha receptor. Insulin had no effect on the basal rate of [14C]clucose synthesis but inhibited the effect of submaximal concentration of glucagon or of any concentration of catecholamine. Glucagon had no effect on the uptake of dihydroxyacetone but suppressed its conversion to lactate and pyruvate. This suppression accounted for most of the increase in glucose synthesis. In cells from gasted rats, where lactate production is greatly reduced and the rate of glucose synthesis is elevated, glucagon did not stimulate gluconeogenesis from dihydroxyacetone. Findings with glycerol as substrate were similar to those with dihyroxyacetone. Ethanol also stimulated glucose production from dihydroxyacetone while reducing proportionately the production of lactate. Ethanol is known to generate reducing equivalents fro clyceraldehyde-3-phosphate dehydrogenase and presumably thereby inhibits carbon flux to lactate at this site. Its effect was additive with that of glucagon. Estimates of the steady state levels of intermediary metabolites and flux rates suggested that glucagon activated conversion of fructose diphosphate to fructose 6-phosphate and suppressed conversion of phosphoenolpyruvate to pyruvate. More direct evidence for an inhibition of pyruvate kinase was the observation that brief exposure of cells to glucagon caused up to 70% inhibition of the enzyme activity in homogenates of these cells. The inhibition was not seen when the enzyme was assayed with 20 muM fructose diphosphate. The effect of glucagon to lower fructose diphosphate levels in intact cells may promote the inhibition of pyruvate kinase. The inhibition of pyruvate kinase may reduce recycling in the pathway of gluconeogenesis from major physiological substrates and probably accounts fromsome but not all the stimulatory effect of glucagon. 相似文献

Sirtuin 6 (Sirt6), a NAD+-dependent protein deacetylase, is involved in hepatic glucose metabolism and insulin sensitivity, which impact metabolic homeostasis. In this paper, we discover that Sirt6 affects the insulin sensitivity of mice in a gender-dependent manner; few studies have been conducted on this issue. Based on reports revealing the influences of sex hormones on insulin signaling, this investigation explores the mechanism by which Sirt6 regulates the estrogen pathway and disrupts insulin signal transduction. Hepatocyte-specific Sirt6 knockout (Sirt6HKO) mice were generated to investigate the function of Sirt6 in hepatocytes. Mice were castrated or spayed to eliminate sex hormones. Insulin sensitivity was assessed via an insulin tolerance test (ITT) in vivo. The interaction of Sirt6 with the estrogen pathway and their impacts on insulin signal transduction were revealed by immunoblot and immunoprecipitation. Sirt6 deletion in hepatocytes significantly enhanced insulin sensitivity and signal transduction in female mice but not in male or spayed female mice as demonstrated by ITT and the phosphorylation level of Akt in the liver. We also identified upregulation of p300, ERα, and interaction of ERα with p85 in the liver of female Sirt6HKO mice. Additionally, Sirt6 was found to inhibit ERα protein stability in a p300-dependent manner without interacting directly with ERα. Our findings show that hepatic Sirt6 downregulates the ERα protein level in a p300-dependent manner and thus disturbs estrogen-induced improvement in insulin sensitivity in the liver, which may partially explain the gender difference in insulin sensitivity. 相似文献

A novel large mtDNA deletion of 5914 bp was detected in mice exposed to X-radiation. The regions flanking the deleted fragment
were characterized by the method of sequencing. The possibility of using a minimum sample of the mouse auricle tissue for
detecting mtDNA deletions in the same animals at different postradiation times is demonstrated. 相似文献

The albino deletion complex in the mouse represents 37 overlapping chromosomal deficiencies that have been arranged into at least twelve complementation groups. Many of the deletions cover regions of chromosome 7 that contain genes necessary for early embryonic development. The work reported here concentrates on two of these deletions (c6H, c11DSD), both of which were known to be lethal around the time of gastrulation when homozygous. A detailed embryological analysis has revealed distinct differences in the lethal phenotype associated with the c6H and c11DSD deletions. c6H homozygous embryos are grossly abnormal at day 7.5 of gestation, whereas c11DSD homozygous embryos appear abnormal at day 8.5 of gestation. There is no development of the extraembryonic ectoderm in c6H homozygotes, whereas extensive development of this tissue type occurs in c11DSD homozygotes. The visceral endoderm is abnormally shaped and the parietal endoderm appears to be overproduced in c6H homozygotes; these structures are not affected in c11DSD homozygotes. The embryonic ectoderm is runted in both types of embryo and it is not possible to obtain homozygous embryo-derived stem-cell lines for either deletion. Mesoderm formation occurs in the c11DSD but not in the c6H homozygotes. The c11DSD deletion chromosome complements the c6H chromosome in that the lethal phenotype of the compound heterozygote is similar to that of the c11DSD homozygote. These results suggest that a gene(s) necessary for normal development of the extraembryonic ectoderm is present in the c11DSD but deficient in the c6H deletion chromosome. 相似文献
