To determine whether a specific dopamine uptake mechanism is present on the human platelet the simultaneous uptake of [3H]dopamine and [14C]serotonin by platelets was measured. Utilising a dual radiolabel uptake technique, platelets have been shown to take up serotonin more rapidly and to a greater extent than they take up dopamine. Furthermore, at high concentrations serotonin was able to reduce dopamine uptake by platelets by 60% whereas dopamine had no effect on serotonin uptake. Similarly, imipramine and reserpine reduced (97% and 74% respectively) serotonin uptake by platelets in a dose-dependent manner, but did not affect the uptake of dopamine. Our data show that platelets take up dopamine by a mechanism independent of the imipramine-sensitive serotonin uptake mechanism. Furthermore, the increased capacity of platelets to store serotonin is because serotonin, unlike dopamine, is transported into the dense granules of the platelet. 相似文献

An improved method for the isolation of human platelet dense granules was developed. A good yield (45%) of highly enriched (69-fold, based on serotonin content) dense granules was obtained after mild sonication and Percoll gradient centrifugation. The method has facilitated characterization of the granule, permitting the first report of Km and Vmax values for [3H]-serotonin uptake, as well as the first determination of Kd and Bmax values for tetrabenazine-displaceable [3H]-ketanserin binding, in the human platelet dense granule. The rates and affinities (Vmax 1.45 nmol/mg/min, Km 0.93 uM) of [3H]-serotonin uptake were similar to those previously reported for porcine dense granules. Tetrabenazine-displaceable [3H]-ketanserin binding was observed with a Kd (9.4 nM) similar to, and a Bmax (5.4 pmol/mg) approximately 10-fold lower than, that previously seen in bovine chromaffin granules. 相似文献

Cocaine inhibits both [3H]dopamine and [3H]serotonin uptake in rat striatum and nucleus accumbens. In a chopped tissue slice preparation, the inhibition curve for [3H]dopamine uptake is biphasic, suggesting two components of uptake, whereas the curve for [3H]serotonin uptake is steep and apparently monophasic. In synaptosomal preparations, both curves are monophasic. Monensin, a sodium ionophore, inhibits uptake but does not change the shape of the cocaine inhibition curve in synaptosomes, suggesting that the biphasic inhibition curves in slices are not likely due to differential sodium gradients across the slices. In tissue slices, only the component which is more sensitive to inhibition by cocaine and related drugs is inhibitable by nicotine. This suggests that the two components of dopamine uptake in tissue slices may be differentially regulated. 相似文献

The effects of quaternary N-methylated nicotine derivatives were examined on in vitro uptake of [3H]dopamine ([3H]DA) in rat striatal slices. Striatal slices were incubated with a 10 microM concentration of the following compounds: N-methylnicotinium, N-methylnornicotinium, N-methylcotininium, N,N'-dimethylnicotinium and N'-methylnicotinium salts. The results clearly indicated that significant (60%) inhibition of [3H]DA uptake occurred with those compounds possessing a N-methylpyridinium group; whereas, compounds that were methylated at the N'-pyrrolidinium position were less effective or exhibited no inhibition of [3H]DA uptake. The results suggest that high concentrations of quaternary N-methylated nicotine metabolites which are structurally related to the neurotoxin MPP+, and which may be formed in the CNS, may protect against Parkinson's Disease and explain the inverse relationship between smoking and Parkinsonism reported in epidemiologic studies. 相似文献

1. A synaptic vesicle fraction isolated from bovine caudatolenticular nuclei showed enzymic activities of tyrosine hydroxylase [EC 1.14.16.2] and dopamine beta-hydroxylase [EC 1.14.17.1]. Tyrosine hydroxylase, whose subcellular localization is uncertain, appeared to be associated with the synaptic vesicles. 2. The vesicle fraction took up [3H]dopamine increasingly with time without the aid of ATP (6.3 pmol of [3H]dopamine per mg of vesicle proteins, or 3-4% of the added dopamine, at 30 min). In the presence of ATP, a transient accumulation of the amine was observed, reaching the highest level at 7-10 min (5.6 pmol dopamine/mg protein), and then a rapid release of the amine took place, obeying first-order kinetics with respect to the amine concentration. The amine uptake was strongly inhibited with NEM, regardless of the presence or absence of ATP. 3. The vesicle fraction also exhibited a weak ability to translocate protons inward and ATP-dependently, as monitored by an increase in the fluorescence intensity of ANS. The fluorescence enhancement persisted for at least 30 min and this time-dependent change was not consistent with that of the transient accumulation of [3H]dopamine mentioned above. Since the present vesicle preparation contained a small amount of mitochondrial ATPase (18-20% of the total activity), the proton translocating ability could be attributable to contaminating submitochondrial particles. 4. Therefore these results made it impossible to conclude that the transient uptake of [3H]dopamine by the synaptic vesicles was coupled to ATP hydrolysis. 相似文献

The dopamine (DA)-translocating mechanism of synaptic vesicles isolated from rat brain has been studied in the presence of an artificially imposed delta pH on the vesicle membranes (acidic inside with respect to the external medium) without the aid of ATP-Mg2+. Under the experimental conditions, [3H]DA uptake by the synaptic vesicles was driven by two different, i.e. delta pH-dependent and -independent processes. Both processes appeared to be carrier-mediated based on the inhibition by NEM (N-ethylmaleimide), an -SH reagent, and by nomifensine, a DA uptake blocker at nerve terminals. The DA carrier of the vesicles was similar to that of the nerve terminal plasma membrane with respect to their susceptibility to nomifensine. The delta pH-dependent uptake was transient and most of the incorporated DA was easily lost from the vesicles. On the other hand, the delta pH-independent uptake increased with time and the amine was retained in the vesicles. The initial rate of the delta pH-independent uptake was lower than that of the delta pH-dependent one but their extents were comparable with each other. These results indicate that rat brain synaptic vesicles have a DA uptake system requiring no ATP hydrolysis. A preparation of synaptic vesicles used here exhibited an inwardly directed proton translocation in the presence of ATP-Mg2+ when monitored by following changes in the fluorescence of ANS (8-anilino-1-naphthalene sulfonate). However, the time course of the delta pH-generation was not influenced by the addition of 1 mM DA.(ABSTRACT TRUNCATED AT 250 WORDS) 相似文献

The binding and uptake of [3H]adrenaline by the intact perfused rat liver was investigated. We showed that the administration of [3H]adrenaline to liver resulted in the rapid uptake of the radioligand, and that such uptake was independent of any Ca2+ redistributions induced by the hormone. At low adrenaline concentrations (less than 50 nM) uptake was inhibited by prazosin, whereas at higher hormone concentrations a significant proportion of total [3H]adrenaline uptake could not be inhibited by this antagonist. [3H]Adrenaline uptake could be directly correlated with adrenaline-induced responses such as an increased rate of respiration and glycogenolysis. The partial inhibition (approx. 25%) of [3H]adrenaline uptake by antagonists was sufficient for the total inhibition of hormone-induced responses. The effect of various pharmacological agents on [3H]adrenaline uptake was investigated, and the contribution of tissue-related factors to alpha-adrenergic agonist-antagonist interactions in vivo is discussed. 相似文献

Platelet uptake of serotonin (5-HT) was studied in drug-free groups of normal controls, depressives and schizophrenics. The Michaelis constant was significantly higher in both the schizophrenics and the depressives than in the controls. The Vmax did not differ significantly between the three groups. Uptake velocity at low substrate concentrations was significantly lower in the schizophrenic group and showed a similar trend in the depressives. There were no significant differences in Km or Vmax when depressives were subclassified as unipolar and bipolar. There were no significant correlations between 5-HT uptake kinetics and severity of illness. These findings raise the possibility of a structural defect in the 5-HT reuptake system in the major psychoses that reduces the affinity of the carrier for the amine. This alteration, if present in central serotonergic neurons, may play a role in the etiology and pathogenesis of depression and schizophrenia. 相似文献

Day-6 pregnant rabbits were anesthetized and subjected to a mid-ventral laparotomy. [3H] Prostaglandin F2alpha) (PGF2alpha) [3H]PGE2, [14C]Urea or [14C]Sucrose were instilled into the uterine lumen via the uterotubal junction. The amounts instilled/uterine horn were respectively 3.7 +/- 0.3, 3.5 +/- 0.3, 5.7 +/- 1.3 and 2.7 +/- 1.6 muCi in 20mul of buffer. Animals were killed at 1, 2, 9, 19 or 21 h after radioactive instillation, and the amounts of radioactivity in blastocysts, uterine tissue, peritoneal cavity washings and urine evaluated by liquid scintillation spectrometry. A gradient of radioactivity was observed from the uterotubal junction to the cervical end of the uterus. Large amounts of [3H]PG were found in the injected horn and associated blastocysts with a considerable crossover to the non-injected horn, but little in the associated blastocysts. Much of the blastocysts associated- [3H]PG remained unmetabolized. Large amounts of metabolized [3 H] were found in urine. [14C]Urea was taken up by uterine tissue in the injected horn, but there was little cross over to the non-injected horn. Urea was also found in urine. Much of the [14C]Sucrose remained in the injected horn, and little was recovered from the urine. It was found that at 9 h, but not at 19 h, after [3 H]PG instillation, the PG was localized at the site of the blastocysts in the injected but not in the contralateral horn. Significantly more [3H]PGF2alpha than [3H]PGE2 was localized in this situation. [14C]Urea was not localized at the site of the blastocysts in urea injected horns.

Proteins derived from platelet alpha granules modulate the uptake of oxidized low density lipoprotein by macrophages. 总被引:2,自引:0,他引:2
Activated platelets secrete from their alpha granules a protein-like factor which stimulates the uptake of oxidized low-density lipoprotein (Ox-LDL) by macrophages. The aim of the present study was to evaluate the effect of three purified proteins obtained from platelet alpha granules: platelet-derived growth factor (PDGF), platelet factor-4 (PF-4), and beta-thromboglobulin (B-TG), on the uptake of Ox-LDL by macrophages. Cellular degradation of Ox-LDL by the J-774 A.1 macrophage-like cell line, that was preincubated for 18 h at 37 degrees C, with increasing concentrations of partially purified PDGF, (designated PDGF-CMS-III) was increased by up to 36% in comparison to control cells preincubated without PDGF. This effect was due to PDGF-mediated increase in the number of macrophage receptors for Ox-LDL. The enhanced uptake of Ox-LDL by PDGF resulted in an increase in cellular cholesterol content. Preincubation of macrophages with two types of recombinant PDGF dimers (10 ng/ml), revealed that PDGF-BB stimulated Ox-LDL cellular degradation by 64%, whereas PDGF-AB demonstrated only 34% stimulation, in comparison to control cells that were not treated with PDGF. The stimulatory effect of PDGF-CMS-III and PDGF-AB were reduced by 20% and 28%, respectively, when incubated in the presence of H-7, a specific protein kinase C inhibitor. When macrophages were preincubated with B-TG, cellular uptake of Ox-LDL was reduced by up to 30% at 100 ng B-TG/ml. This effect, however, was obtained only when B-TG was present in the incubation medium. Cellular degradation of Ox-LDL was not affected by preincubation of the cells with PF-4. Pretreatment of PCM with anti-PDGF or anti-B-TG antibodies abolished the effects of PCM on Ox-LDL degradation by macrophages. PDGF, thus, may represent the protein-like factor present in PCM which stimulates Ox-LDL degradation by macrophages, whereas B-TG may have a role in the recognition of PCM particles by the macrophage scavenger receptor. Modulation of macrophage cholesterol content by proteins secreted from activated platelets may have an important role in foam cell formation and atherosclerosis. 相似文献

Lobelane analogs that incorporate a central piperidine or pyrrolidine moiety have previously been reported by our group as potent inhibitors of VMAT2 function. Further central ring size reduction of the piperidine moiety in lobelane to a four-membered heterocyclic ring has been carried out in the current study to afford novel cis-and trans-azetidine analogs. These azetidine analogs (15a–15c and 22a–22c) potently inhibited [3H]dopamine (DA) uptake into isolated synaptic vesicles (Ki ? 66 nM). The cis-4-methoxy analog 22b was the most potent inhibitor (Ki = 24 nM), and was twofold more potent that either lobelane (2a, Ki = 45 nM) or norlobelane (2b, Ki = 43 nM). The trans-methylenedioxy analog, 15c (Ki = 31 nM), was equipotent with the cis-analog, 22b, in this assay. Thus, cis- and trans-azetidine analogs 22b and 15c represent potential leads in the discovery of new clinical candidates for the treatment of methamphetamine abuse. 相似文献

We have characterized the dopamine D2 receptor photoaffinity probe, [3H]azido-N-methylspiperone ([3H]AMS). In the absence of light, [3H]AMS bound reversibly and with high affinity (Kd 70 pM) to sites in canine striatal membranes and was competitively inhibited by dopaminergic agonists and antagonists with an appropriate D2 receptor specificity. Upon photolysis, [3H]AMS covalently incorporated into a peptide of Mr 92,000 as assessed by fluorography following SDS-polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis. Labelling of this peptide was specifically and stereoselectively blocked by D2 antagonists and agonists. Minor specifically labelled peptides of Mr 70,000-55,000 were observed under some conditions and were the result of proteolytic degradation of the peptide at Mr 92,000. 相似文献

[3H]Spiperone ([3H]SPI) binding sites in rat or bovine striata have been solubilized using CHAPS or digitonin detergents. Solubilized sites retained the binding characteristics of those in native membrane preparations. The same solubilized material, however, did not bind [3H]tyramine ([3H]PTA), thus indicating that [3H]PTA binding sites and DA receptors are different chemico-physical entities. In membrane preparations or crude synaptosomes obtained from the c.striatum of neonatally-rendered hypothyroid rats, when central DA-pathways are impaired, both [3H]PTA binding and [3H]DA uptake processes were markedly decreased, with no effect on [3H]mazindol ([3H]MAZ) binding, compared to euthyroids. Reserpine, a well-known inhibitor of DA-uptake into a variety of secretory vesicles, and a potent in vivo andin vitro inhibitor of [3H]PTA binding, did not affect the [3H]MAZ binding process. This further supported the suggestion that while [3H]PTA binding sites are almost totally associated with the vesicular transporter for DA, [3H]MAZ does label a site involved in the DA-translocation across the neuronal membrane. The latter process seems to be rather insensitive to thyroid hypofunction, when however the intracellular storage of DA might be consistently impaired. In conclusion, PTA might be well exploited as a marker of the DA vesicular transporter through its molecular characterization, whenever possible.Special issue dedicated to Dr. Paola S. Timiras 相似文献

Weanling rats were injected intraperitoneally with [3H]thymidine and sacrificed from 5 min to 20 days later. Their mandibular condylar cartilages were examined histologically, by thin-layer autoradiography, and by using liquid scintillation and microscopic counting methods. Labeled DNA appeared in some of the chondrocytes of the resting zone as early as 10 min postinjection, and reached the proliferative zone by 24 hr and the hypertrophic zone by 4 days. The labeling pattern in the last zone was more disperse, being oriented toward the periphery of the cells as they became hypertrophic. The maximum number of labeled chondrocytes was reached by 2 hr postinjection. These amounted to approximately 11% of the total chondrocyte population, the majority of which were located in the resting zone (73%). It is concluded that, over this period, the mitotic index for these cells is 50-60 per thousand resulting in approximately 100 labeled chondrocytes. In addition, some of the chondroclasts at the erosion front contained labeled DNA as early as 5 min after [3H]thymidine administration. By 10 min, 65% of these cells exhibited one or more labeled nuclei, and the ratio of labeled cells remained high through 20 days. Chondroclasts were seen to contain a diffuse label within their cytoplasm after 5 days. This label was similar to that seen in hypertrophic chondrocytes that had reached the erosion front by that time. Clearly, chondroclasts exhibit nuclear division and do not form from fusion of hypertrophic chondrocytes, although which specific mononuclear cells may act as chondroclast progenitors is not clear. In addition, these multinucleate resorbing cells are capable of ingesting or phagocytizing nuclear remnants from hypertrophic chondrocytes at the eroding face of cartilage. 相似文献

Inhibition of high-affinity [3H]-imipramine binding to platelet membranes by human plasma fractions and isolated plasma proteins was investigated. Several plasma proteins were found to contribute to the observed apparent inhibition and this contribution was assessed in terms of inhibitor units. Alpha 1 acid glycoprotein, high density and low density lipoprotein, IgG and alpha 1-antitrypsin were identified as effective non-specific inhibitors. Alpha-1-acid glycoprotein was confirmed to be the most potent plasma protein inhibitor. Cohn fractions were evaluated for the presence of the postulated endocoid of [3H]-imipramine binding site. 相似文献

In order to determine whether the status epilepticus leads to alterations in the neurosteroid effect on excitatory amino acid transmission, we studied the influence of allopregnanolone on aspartate release and glutamate uptake in mouse hippocampus at various times after kainate administration. No significant differences in the K+-stimulated D-[3H]-aspartate release from the hippocampi of saline- and kainate-treated mice were observed; however, that parameter tended to fall in tissues collected I h after kainate administration. Allopregnanolone significantly attenuated the K+-stimulated D-[3H]-aspartate release from the hippocampi of control animals, as well at 24 h and 7 days after kainate injection; in contrast it did not affect amino acid release from the hippocampi collected 1 h after kainate administration. Kainate administration had no effect on [3H]-glutamate uptake after 1 and 24 h, but elevated that parameter on day 7. Allopregnanolone (10 and 100 microM) did not affect [3H]-glutamate uptake in control and kainate-treated mice. In conclusion, the present study indicates a loss of the inhibitory effect of allopregnanolone on the potasium-stimulated D-[3H]-aspartate release from mouse hippocampus during the kainate-induced status epilepticus; moreover, it excludes involvement of this neurosteroid in the regulation of hippocampal [3H]-glutamate uptake in both control and kainate-treated mice. 相似文献

The calcium-dependent release of [3H]dopamine ([3H]DA) elicited by field stimulation or potassium is modulated through activation of stereoselective inhibitory DA autoreceptors of the D-2 subtype that are pharmacologically different from the D-1 DA receptor subtype linked to the stimulation of adenylate cyclase (EC 4.6.1.1). The D-2 DA autoreceptors appear to be endogenously activated by DA because DA receptor antagonists such as S-sulpiride increased the stimulation-evoked release of [3H]DA. Nanomolar concentrations of norepinephrine (NE) and epinephrine (E) inhibited in a concentration-dependent manner the electrical stimulation-evoked release of [3H]DA. The inhibitory effect of these catecholamines was not modified by S-sulpiride, which, on the contrary, selectively antagonized the inhibition of [3H]DA release elicited by exogenous DA. Phentolamine or (+/-)-propranolol did not affect the release of [3H]DA from rabbit retina. The alpha antagonist phentolamine competitively antagonized the inhibitory effect of both NE and E, which suggests that these catecholamines activate alpha receptors in retina. The decrease by catecholamines of the calcium-dependent release of [3H]DA appears not to involve beta adrenoceptors because their inhibitory effect was not modified by propranolol. Under identical experimental conditions (i.e., nomifensine, 30 microM), serotonin did not modify the stimulated release of [3H]DA. In conclusion, in the rabbit retina, DA autoreceptors of the D-2 subtype appear to modulate endogenously released DA whereas inhibitory presynaptic alpha receptors might be of pharmacological importance as sites of action for retinal or blood-borne catecholamines. 相似文献

The uptake of (3H)dopamine by homogenates of rat corpus striatum: effects of cations 总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1
The uptake of [3H]dopamine was studied with a synaptosomal preparation of the corpus striatum. The accumulation of dopamine was found to be temperature-dependent and very rapid, but linear over time for at least 5 min. at 37°C with characteristics of saturable kinetics. The optimum concentrations for Na+ and K+ were 150–160 m and 2.5–4.8 m, respectively, while uptake was progressively inhibited at concentrations of K+ greater than 5 m. Rubidium was capable of substituting for potassium whereas cesium was a much less effective replacement. The uptake of DA was blocked by the antibiotics, valinomycin and gramicidin-D which bind K+ or both Na+ and K+, respectively, and thereby might interfere with the transport of cations across neuronal membranes. Similarly, ouabain which blocks the active transport of Na+ markedly antagonized the accumulation of DA into striatal homogenates. In contrast, tetrodotoxin which does not prevent the active transport of Na+, had no effect. Uptake appeared not to require Ca++ and it was not inhibited by increasing total osmolarity to 400 mos. In general, the cationic requirements for DA-uptake in striatal tissue and its responses to several inhibition of ionic transport, do not appear to be greatly different from those reported for NE with synaptosomes prepared from whole brain. 相似文献
