Reaction components influencing CAMP factor induced lysis 总被引:4,自引:0,他引:4
The reaction components and conditions affecting CAMP factor (Streptococcus agalactiae) induced lysis of target cells have been investigated. Both the amount of sphingomyelinase used and the time of preincubation with sphingomyelinase directly affected the rate of haemolysis by CAMP factor. The CAMP factor induced lysis was temperature dependent between 15 and 30 degrees C and was proportional to the amount of CAMP factor added. 相似文献

In order to physically separate epithelial from nonepithelial cells, well-minced rat ventral prostate at 2 degrees C was passed through a tissue sieve, and the disrupted tissue suspended and washed several times before centrifugation on a Ficoll gradient. While limited separation of single prostate epithelial and nonepithelial cells and small aggregates could be achieved, the yield of intact undamaged cells was low, and many nuclei contaminated the 2 major cell fractions obtained from the gradient. During subsequent experiments, it became apparent that most single cells released from prostates minced at 2 degrees C rapidly lysed, yielding cytoplasmic debris and cell nuclei. Yet the morphology of red and white blood cells, examined by light microscopy, was unaffected, suggesting a soluble factor was not responsible. These results indicated that mechanical dissociation of rat ventral prostate at 2 degrees C with release of single cells was accompanied by a powerful prostate cell-associated lytic 'event', affecting both epithelial and connective tissue cells, without destruction of cell nuclei or accompanying red and white blood cells. Some properties of this process are described in this report. 相似文献

Previous studies have demonstrated that in general, nucleated cells are more resistant to killing by serum complement than are erythrocytes. During studies aimed at defining the mechanisms of nucleated cell resistance, we found that the human histiocytic cell line U937 was easily lysed by homologous serum. U937 cells were also killed by serum depleted of C9, but not by serum depleted of C8, implying that the C5b-8 complex was sufficient to cause lysis of these cells. Enumeration of complexes on the cell surface demonstrated that approximately 40-fold more complexes were required to lyse U937 cells in the absence of C9 than in the presence of an excess of C9. Examination of the effects of small amounts of C9 on lysis of U937 cells by the C5b-8 complex demonstrated that at very low doses, C9 inhibited C5b-8 mediated lysis. The use of radiolabeled anti-C8 antibody showed that C5b-8 complexes were eliminated from the surface of U937 cells at 37 degrees C, and C9 at the dose causing inhibition of lysis accelerated the elimination of complexes. These results suggest that the increased lytic potential resulting from binding of small amounts of C9 to C5b-8 complexes is outweighed by enhanced elimination of complexes resulting in decreased cell death. 相似文献

The aim of this work was to evaluate the effects of BM-567 (N-pentyl-N'-[(2-cyclohexylamino-5-nitrobenzene)sulfonyl]urea), a torasemide derivative, on both thromboxane A(2) (TXA(2)) receptors (TP) and thromboxane synthase of human platelets. The drug affinity for TP receptors of human washed platelets has been determined. In this test, BM-567 showed a high affinity (IC(50): 1.1+/-0.1nM) for the TP receptors in comparison with BM-531 (IC(50): 7.8+/-0.7nM) and sulotroban (IC(50): 931+/-85nM), two TXA(2) antagonists. We also demonstrated that BM-567 prevented platelet aggregation induced by arachidonic acid (AA) (600 microM) (ED(100): 0.20+/-0.10 microM), U-46619, a stable TXA(2) agonist (1 microM) (ED(50): 0.30+/-0.04 microM) and collagen (1microgram ml(-1)) (% of inhibition: 44.3+/-4.3% at 10 microM) and inhibited the second wave of ADP (2microM). Moreover, when BM-567 was incubated in whole blood from healthy donors, the closure time measured by the Platelet Function analyzer (PFA-100((R))) was significantly prolonged (closure time: 215+/-21s) by using collagen/epinephrine cartridges. Finally, at the concentration of 1 microM, BM-567 completely reduced the TXB(2) production from human platelets stimulated with AA (600 microM). These results indicate that BM-567 is a novel combined TXA(2) receptor antagonist and thromboxane synthase inhibitor characterized by a powerful antiplatelet potency. 相似文献

B1 avitaminosis presents a typical example of energetic mitochondrial degeneration. The alterations--swelling and lysis of mitochondria--are accompanied by dilatation with formation of megamitochondria, by appearance of blebs and tearings of the mitochondrial membranes, by progressive fading of the matrix, by swelling of the mitochondrial membranes with lysis of the cristae advancing from centre towards periphery, by vacuolar transformation of the cell and by development of onionoid bodies (corpora cepiformia). 相似文献

The bacterium Francisella tularensis (Ft) is a potential weapon of bioterrorism when aerosolized. Macrophage infection is necessary for disease progression and efficient phagocytosis by human macrophages requires serum opsonization by complement. Microbial complement activation leads to surface deposition of a highly regulated protein complex resulting in opsonization or membrane lysis. The nature of complement component C3 deposition, i.e., C3b (opsonization and lysis) or C3bi (opsonization only) fragment deposition, is central to the outcome of activation. In this study, we examine the mechanisms of Ft resistance to complement-mediated lysis, C3 component deposition on the Ft surface, and complement activation. Upon incubation in fresh nonimmune human serum, Schu S4 (Ft subsp. tularensis), Fn (Ft subsp. novicida), and LVS (Ft subsp. holarctica live vaccine strain) were resistant to complement-mediated lysis, but LVSG and LVSR (LVS strains altered in surface carbohydrate structures) were susceptible. C3 deposition, however, occurred on all strains. Complement-susceptible strains had markedly increased C3 fragment deposition, including the persistent presence of C3b compared with C3bi, which indicates that C3b inactivation results in survival of complement-resistant strains. C1q, an essential component of the classical activation pathway, was necessary for lysis of complement-susceptible strains and optimal C3 deposition on all strains. Finally, use of Francisella LPS mutants confirmed O Ag as a major regulator of complement resistance. These data provide evidence that pathogenic Francisella activate complement, but are resistant to complement-mediated lysis in part due to limited C3 deposition, rapid conversion of surface-bound C3b to C3bi, and the presence of LPS O Ag. 相似文献

Eicosanoids mediate insect cellular immune responses, which depend largely on phenoloxidase (PO) activity. In plasma, PO is activated by the proteolytic cleavage of proPO, which is stored in oenocytoids, a specific hemocyte type, of the beet armyworm, Spodoptera exigua. Eicosanoids induce an acute cell lysis of oenocytoids, which releases proPO into the plasma. We investigated an intracellular signal pathway following a functional interaction of eicosanoid(s) to a putative membrane receptor. U-73122 (a specific inhibitor of phospholipase C) inhibited oenocytoid lysis of S. exigua significantly after bacterial infection. We concluded that oenocytoid lysis required a certain level of calcium ion because EGTA (a calcium chelator) treatment inhibited cell lysis. Two protein kinase C (PKC) inhibitors (staurosporine and calphostin C) significantly inhibited the oenocytoid lysis. Oenocytoid lysis was likely induced by Na+ entry and subsequent osmotic shock because juvenile hormone analog, pyriproxyfen, which activates Na+-K+ ATPase and induces subsequent cell shrinkage, antagonized the effect of eicosaniod on cell lysis. Furthermore, ouabain (a specific Na+ pump inhibitor) significantly inhibited oenocytoid lysis. These results suggest that eicosanoid mediates oenocytoid lysis by activating the intracellular PKC pathway. 相似文献

Cytotoxic T lymphocytes (CTLs) and natural killer (NK) cells use multiple mechanisms to destroy their target cells. Pore formation resulting in osmotic lysis of the target is one mechanism; the pore-forming protein (perforin) responsible for this activity has been purified. Antigenically and functionally it resembles proteins of the membrane attack complex of complement. The other known mediators of cytotoxicity appear to be closely interrelated. Tumor necrosis factor (TNF), lymphotoxin (LT), and leukalexin are the three members of this group that have been purified, although their mechanisms of action are still unknown. CTLs fragment the DNA of target cells, as do TNF, LT, and leukalexin; this may be one of the mechanisms of action of these mediators. CTLs and NK cells do not self lyse. The basis of this phenomenon is unclear, although recent advances have shed some light on the problem. 相似文献

Evidence exists that a large number of tumor cells such as osteosarcoma cells stimulate platelet aggregation, which can be an early step in the metastatic processes of these tumors. Thromboxane A(2) (TXA(2)) is released during platelet aggregation, and it has been suggested that this release may be pathogenic for tumor metastasis for several reasons:Some tumors release large amounts of TXA(2) compared to normal tissue.TXA(2) potentiates tumor growth in culture and increases metastasis in animals.TXA(2) is a potent stimulant of platelet aggregation and causes vascular injuries that may promote implantation of tumor cell-platelet aggregates.If TXA(2) participates in tumor metastasis, it may be hypothesized that TXA(2) inhibitors should decrease tumor metastasis. So, we have evaluated the effects of the original TXA(2) synthase inhibitor and TXA(2) receptor antagonist BM-567 on platelet aggregation induced by osteosarcoma cells using MG-63 tumor cells. Results obtained showed that this drug inhibited both MG-63 tumor-cell-induced platelet aggregation and platelet TXA(2) release following the tumor cell stimulation with IC(50) values of 3.04x10(-7) and 2.51x10(-8)M, respectively. 相似文献
