Melanocytes in human skin reside both in the epidermis and in the matrix and outer root sheath of anagen hair follicles. Comparative study of melanocytes in these different locations has been difficult as hair follicle melanocytes could not be cultured. In this study we used a recently described method of growing hair follicle melanocytes to characterize and compare hair follicle and epidermal melanocytes in the scalp of the same individual. Three morphologically and antigenically distinct types of melanocytes were observed in primary culture. These included (1) moderately pigmented and polydendritic melanocytes derived from epidermis; (2) small, bipolar, amelanotic melanocytes; and (3) large, intensely pigmented melanocytes; the latter two were derived from hair follicles. The three sub-populations of cells all reacted with melanocyte-specific monoclonal antibody. Epidermal and amelanotic hair follicle melanocytes proliferated well in culture, whereas the intensely pigmented hair follicle melanocytes did not. Amelanotic hair follicle melanocytes differed from epidermal melanocytes in being less differentiated, and they expressed less mature melanosome antigens. In addition, hair follicle melanocytes expressed some antigens associated with alopecia areata, but not antigens associated with vitiligo, whereas the reverse was true for epidermal melanocytes. Thus, antigenically different populations of melanocytes are present in epidermis and hair follicle. This could account for the preferential destruction of hair follicle melanocytes in alopecia areata and of epidermal melanocytes in vitiligo. 相似文献

MicroRNAs (miRNAs) are endogenous small noncoding RNA molecules that negatively regulate gene expression. Herein, we investigated a selective number of miRNAs for their expression in skin tissue of Liaoning Cashmere goat during hair follicle cycles, and their intracellular regulatory networks were constructed based on bioinformatics analysis. The relative expression of six miRNAs (mir-103-3p, -15b-5p, 17-5p, -200b, -25-3p, and -30c-5p) at anagen phase is significantly higher than that at catagen and/or telogen phases. In comparison to anagen, the relative expression of seven miRNAs (mir-148a-3p, -199a-3p, -199a-5p, -24-3p, -30a-5p, -30e-5p, and -29a-3p) was revealed to be significantly up-regulated at catagen and/or telogen stages. The network analyses of miRNAs indicated those miRNAs investigated might be directly or indirectly involved in several signaling pathways through their target genes. These results provided a foundation for further insight into the roles of these miRNAs in skin tissue of Liaoning Cashmere goat during hair follicle cycles. 相似文献

As a member of the four subtypes of receptors for prostaglandin E2 (PGE2), prostaglandin E receptor 2 (PTGER2) is in the family of G-protein coupled receptors and has been characterized to be involved in the development and growth of hair follicles. In this study, we cloned and characterized the full-length coding sequence (CDS) of PTGER2 gene from cashmere goat skin. The entire open reading frame (ORF) of PTGER2 gene was 1047 bp and encoded 348 amino acid residues. The deduced protein contained one G-protein coupled receptors family 1 signature, seven transmembrane domains, and other potential sites. Tissue expression analysis showed that PTGER2 gene was expressed strongly in the skin. The general expression tendency of PTGER2 gene at different hair follicle developmental stages in the skin was gradually decreased from anagen to catagen to telogen. After comparing with the expression of BMP4 gene and related reports, we further presume that it seems to have a relationship between the hair follicle cycle and the expression level of PTGER2 gene in cashmere goat skin. 相似文献

小眼畸形转录因子(MITF)不仅是黑色素细胞发育、增殖和存活的必要调节因子,而且对调节相关酶和黑素体蛋白表达来确保黑色素产生具有至关重要的作用。MITF下游色素相关基因在小鼠毛囊生长周期中的表达及相关性仍有待研究。HE染色结果表明不同毛囊时期的小鼠毛囊呈现典型的组织形态学结构;免疫组织化学显示,MITF、GPNMB、OA1、TYR、TYRP2在不同毛囊生长周期中的毛基质及内外毛根鞘均有不同程度的阳性表达。黑色素测定结果表明,在毛囊生长初期和中期,碱性可溶性总黑色素(ASM)、真黑素(EM)以及褐黑素(PM)相对含量高于毛囊生长末期。蛋白免疫印迹结果表明,MITF、GPNMB、OA1、TYR、TYRP2在毛囊生长初期和中期蛋白质相对水平明显高于毛囊生长末期。实时荧光定量PCR结果表明,
MITF、GPNMB、OA1、TYR、TYRP2、PMEL在毛囊生长初期和中期,mRNA相对表达量显著高于毛囊生长末期。在不同毛囊生长周期小鼠皮肤的MITF下游色素相关基因表达存在显著差异,表明上述因子在维持黑色素细胞色素生成是不可或缺的因素。 相似文献

我国蒙古羊系统不同生态型绵羊品种遗传多样性及距离隔离机制的研究 总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1
以我国主要地方绵羊品种湖羊、同羊、小尾寒羊、滩羊和洼地绵羊为研究对象,检测位于不同染色体的微卫星位点的基因频率分布,进行比较分析.结果表明 1) 就本研究涉及的微卫星标记而言,湖羊处于Hardy-Weinberg极不平衡状态 (P < 0.01),而其余群体包括同羊、小尾寒羊、滩羊和洼地绵羊却处于Hardy-Weinberg平衡 (P < 0.05).2) 就本研究涉及的微卫星标记而言,平均杂合度、多型信息含量和有效等位基因数三个遗传变异指标的方差分析表明不同群体间杂合度、多型信息含量均不存在显著差异 (P > 0.05),有效等位基因数遗传变异指标在、滩羊、湖羊、同羊和洼地羊相互之间以及洼地羊与小尾寒羊之间亦差异不显著(P > 0.05),但是有效等位基因数在前3个群体与后2个群体之间存在显著差异 (0.01 < P < 0.05).5个绵羊群体的变异水平以小尾寒羊最高,其次为洼地绵羊、同羊和滩羊,最低的是湖羊.3) 本研究涉及的我国蒙古羊系统内5个绵羊群体间的系统发生关系不满足距离隔离模式,绵羊群体间的遗传分化关系的远近与其地理分布并未表现出紧密的线性相关.这与5个绵羊起源于不同时期的蒙古羊始祖群体,同时在品种间存在一定程度的基因交流,并在各自特有的生态环境中经历不同程度的自然选择和人为选择品种培育史实相符. 相似文献

In the last few years, detailed structural information from high-resolution x-ray diffraction has been added to the already large body of spectroscopic and mutational data on the bacteriorhodopsin proton transport cycle. Although there are still many gaps, it is now possible to reconstruct the main events in the translocation of the proton and how they are coupled to the photoisomerization of the retinal chromophore. Future structural work will concentrate on describing the details of the individual proton transfer steps during the photocycle. 相似文献

In pollen characters, Amorphophallus is one of the most diverse genera in the Araceae. The present work is a critical survey of contradicting reports on the impact of acetolysis treatment on Amorphophallus pollen, on the chemical nature of the outer pollen wall layer and of electron-dense (dark) granules found within it. Furthermore, we wanted to clarify the pollen polarity and to test conclusions based on different preparation techniques. Pollen morphology of 25 species is investigated by light microscopy, scanning electron microscopy and transmission electron microscopy. Our results show that Amorphophallus pollen is not resistant to acetolysis treatment. The use of different transmission electron microscopy staining methods proved the polysaccharide nature of the outer pollen wall layer and of the granules within it. Moreover, an additional thin surface layer was found in all investigated species. Microspores in early and late tetrad stages show that the less convex side of the microspore is the proximal face and the more convex side the distal face. The extrusion of pollen in strands is illustrated for the first time by light microscopy and scanning electron microscopy. Furthermore, observations of pollen in water showed that in some of the investigated species the pollen wall is shed immediately before pollen tube formation. 相似文献

The MDR1 P-glycoprotein, an ATP-binding cassette (ABC) superfamily member that functions as an ATP-driven drug efflux pump,
has been linked to resistance of human tumors to multiple chemotherapeutic agents. P-glycoprotein binds and actively transports
a large variety of hydrophobic drugs and peptides. P-glycoprotein in reconstituted proteoliposomes is also an outwardly directed
flippase for membrane phospholipids and simple glycosphinglipids. This review focuses on recent advances in our understanding
of P-glycoprotein structure and function, particularly through the use of fluorescence spectroscopic approaches. Progress
is being made towards understanding the structure of the transporter, especially the spatial relationship between the two
nucleotide-binding domains. Exploration of the P-glycoprotein catalytic cycle using vanadate-trapped complexes has revealed
that drug transport likely takes place by concerted conformational changes linked to relaxation of a high energy intermediate.
Low resolution mapping of the protein using fluorescence resonance energy transfer showed that both the H and R drug-binding
sites are located within the cytoplasmic leaflet. Two drugs can bind to the R-site simultaneously, suggesting that the protein
contains a large flexible binding region. 相似文献

Following assimilation of 14CO2 by leaves of Stachys sieboldii, 14C-stachyose is translocated into the tubers. Stachyose is accumulated and stored in the vacuoles of the pith parenchyma. Protoplasts and vacuoles were isolated and the uptake of sugars was examined. Uptake of sucrose and sucrosyl oligosaccharides of the raffinose family by protoplasts was very low compared to glucose. Transport parameters for glucose indicated a carrier mediated transport in the lower concentration range which was superimposed by diffusion at higher concentrations (> 10 mM). The very low sugar uptake by protoplasts and the sparse enzyme activities of stachyose synthase in the storage parenchyma as well as acid invertase and α-galactosidase in the cell walls indicated symplastic unloading of stachyose in the tubers. Experiments on 14C-stachyose uptake by isolated vacuoles confirmed previous observations by Keller (1992). Isolated vacuoles exhibited ATP and PP hydrolysis and were capable of generating a proton gradient across the tonoplast by a V-type H+-ATPase and H+-PPase. This was demonstrated by fluorescence quenching of quinacrine. Fluorescence could be restored by the addition of gramicidin and partly recovered by the addition of stachyose; mannitol, sorbitol and glucose had no effect. Fluorescence recovery depended on the concentration of stachyose and revealed saturation kinetics (Km = 28 mM). Comparable results have been obtained with tonoplast vesicles by Greutert and Keller (1993). Experimental data presented here provide circumstantial evidence for symplastic unloading of stachyose in the tubers of Stachys sieboldii and demonstrate that the stachyose concentration in the cytoplasm of storage parenchyma cells is kept low by active stachyose transport into the vacuoles. The results suggest a stachyose/H+-antiport system. 相似文献

In order to obtain information on the disputed nature of melanosomes a comparison was made between the localization of melanosomal markers with those of other well-defined subcellular organelles such as lysosomes and peroxisomes. The distribution of marker enzymes was studied using two different density gradient systems. i.e., Percoll and Nycodenz. Furthermore, the subcellular localization of various types of antigens was analyzed using indirect immunofluorescence and immuno-electron microscopy. All methods revealed the existence of partial co-localization of melanosomal and lysosomal proteins and different localization of peroxisomal markers. The results suggest that melanosomes may share a common origin with lysosomal structures. 相似文献

Mannosyl-3-phosphoglycerate synthase is a glycosyltransferase involved in the two-step synthetic pathway of mannosylglycerate, a compatible solute that accumulates in response to salt and/or heat stresses in many microorganisms thriving in hot environments. The three-dimensional structure of mannosyl-3-phosphoglycerate synthase from Thermus thermophilus HB27 in its binary complex form, with GDP-α-d-mannose and Mg2+, shows a second metal binding site, about 6 Å away from the mannose moiety. Kinetic and mutagenesis studies have shown that this metal site plays a role in catalysis. Additionally, Asp167 in the DXD motif is found within van der Waals contact distance of the C1′ atom in the mannopyranose ring, suggesting its action as a catalytic nucleophile, either in the formation of a glycosyl-enzyme intermediate according to the double-displacement SN2 reaction mechanism or in the stabilization of the oxocarbenium ion-like intermediate according to the DN*ANss (SNi-like) reaction mechanism. We propose that either mechanism may occur in retaining glycosyltransferases with a GT-A fold, and, based on the gathered structural information, we identified an extended structural signature toward a common scaffold between the inverting and retaining glycosyltransferases. 相似文献
