Epidermal growth factor stimulates the phosphorylation of the calcium-dependent 35,000-dalton substrate in intact A-431 cells 总被引:18,自引:0,他引:18
We have previously reported the isolation of a 35-kDa protein from A-431 cells that, in the presence of Ca2+, is an excellent in vitro substrate for the epidermal growth factor (EGF) receptor/kinase present in membrane preparations (Fava, R. A., and Cohen, S. (1984) J. Biol. Chem. 259, 2636-2645). In this communication we demonstrate that the phosphorylation of the 35-kDa protein is markedly enhanced in intact, 32P-labeled, A-431 cells following exposure of the cells to EGF. The 35-kDa protein immunoprecipitated from cells treated with EGF is phosphorylated to a 20-120-fold greater extent than comparable preparations from control cells. Both phosphotyrosine and phosphoserine residues are detected in the protein after treatment of the cells with EGF. EGF-dependent phosphorylation of the 35-kDa protein is barely detected unless the intact cells are exposed to EGF for periods greater than 5 min. We suggest that endosomes containing internalized EGF X receptor/kinase complexes are primarily responsible for the observed phosphorylation of the 35-kDa protein in intact cells. 相似文献

Adenosine 3',5'-cyclic monophosphate (cAMP) concentration and 3',5'-cyclic-nucleotide phosphodiesterase (PDE) activity were measured in skeletal muscle, heart, and liver of rats exposed to 1, 3, 5, and 7 days of cold. Cyclic nucleotide concentration increased in fast-twitch red muscle at the same time that PDE activity was decreasing. Nucleotide concentration and enzyme activity of slow-twitch red muscle were not altered by the cold exposure. The PDE activity of fast-twitch white muscle was elevated approximately 50% above control after 1 and 3 days of cold exposure. By the 5th day in the cold, white muscle PDE activity had returned to control levels and remained there through the 7th day of experimentation. cAMP concentration in hearts of cold-exposed rats was significantly (P less than 0.01) elevated above control at all time points measured. Myocardial PDE activity was elevated above control (P less than 0.05) at 1 and 3 days of cold exposure but returned to control levels by the 5th day in the cold. Hepatic cAMP and PDE activity were elevated above control at all time points analyzed. These data suggest that changes in cyclic nucleotide metabolism play a role in attaining homeostasis during acute cold exposure. 相似文献

A cAMP-induced protein tyrosine phosphorylation and flagellar hyperactivation are controlled via complicated signaling cascades in mammalian spermatozoa. For instance, these events seem to be regulated positively by the PKA-mediated signaling and negatively by the PI3K/PDK1-mediated signaling. In this article, we have shown molecular changes of PKA and PDK1 in cAMP analog (cBiMPS)-treated boar spermatozoa in order to disclose possible roles of these kinases in protein tyrosine phosphorylation and hyperactivation. Ejaculated spermatozoa were incubated with cBiMPS, and then they were used for biochemical analyses of sperm kinases by Western blotting and indirect immunofluorescence and for assessment of flagellar movement. The first 30-min incubation with cBiMPS highly activated PKA of the principal piece to the accompaniment of autophosphorylation on Thr-197 of catalytic subunits. However, protein tyrosine phosphorylation and hyperactivation were fully induced in the sperm samples after the 180-min incubation. A potentially active form of PDK1 (54/55-kDa phospho-PDK1) was detected in the principal piece of the spermatozoa during the 90-min incubation. Another potentially active form (59-kDa phospho-PDK1) gradually increased during the same incubation period. However, the PDK1 suddenly became inactive by the dephosphorylation after the 180-min incubation, namely coincidently with full induction of protein tyrosine phosphorylation and hyperactivation. Additionally, existence of PI3K-dependently suppressing mechanisms for protein tyrosine phosphorylation was confirmed in the principal piece by pharmacological experiments with LY294002 and biochemical analyses with anti-PI3K p85 antibodies. These findings suggest that dephosphorylation of PDK1 may be a molecular switch for enhancement of protein tyrosine phosphorylation and flagellar hyperactivation in boar spermatozoa. 相似文献

We have previously demonstrated that platelet-activating factor (PAF) binds specifically on cell membranes isolated from U937 cells. We now describe biological evidence showing that the effect of PAF on U937 cells is a receptor-mediated event. myo-[3H]Inositol-labeled U937 cells were used to investigate the possible role of phosphoinositide metabolism in these cells after binding of PAF. Formation of inositol phosphates (IP1, IP2, and IP3) in response to PAF was increased two- to threefold more than in vehicle control in U937 cells. The effect of PAF on endogenous protein phosphorylation was also studied by using 32PO4-labeled cells. PAF stimulates the phosphorylation of a 45-kDa protein in a time-dependent and dose-related fashion. Since the phospholipase C-generated diglyceride is an important activator of protein kinase C, the phosphorylated 45-kDa protein could be the substrate of protein kinase C. In this regard, we were able to demonstrate that phorbol ester enhances the phosphorylation of the same 45-kDa protein band. In addition, sphingosine, a protein kinase C inhibitor, inhibits the phosphorylation of the same 45-kDa protein band. Down-regulation of the protein kinase C also inhibits the 45-kDa protein phosphorylation. These results suggest that protein kinase C is involved in the PAF-U937 cell interaction. 相似文献

Erythropoietin response to acute normobaric hypoxia in humans. 总被引:4,自引:0,他引:4

Hypoxia causes an increased production of erythropoietin (EPO), but the time course of the EPO response in humans has not been well characterized. This study examines the relationship between the duration of normobaric hypoxic exposure and plasma EPO levels in healthy human subjects. Six volunteers breathed a gas mixture of 10.5% O2-89.5% N2 continuously for 5, 60, and 120 or intermittently for 240 min. O2 saturations were maintained between 75 and 85% during the exposure. Arterial pH was 7.467 +/- 0.019, PO2 37.05 +/- 2.43 Torr, and PCO2 36.69 +/- 2.05 Torr. O2 half-saturation pressures of hemoglobin were normal for all subjects. Plasma EPO was measured every 30 min for 360 min by radioimmunoassay. No increase in EPO was seen after the 5- and 60-min exposures. However, a 50% increase was seen 240 min after the initiation of the 120-min hypoxic exposure (P less than 0.01). Intermittent exposure resulted in an increase of EPO by 52% 360 min after the onset of exposure (P less than 0.05). Therefore, exposing humans continuously to an inspiratory O2 fraction of 0.105 for 120 min or intermittently for 240 min provides a sufficient stimulus to increase production of EPO. 相似文献

Effects of hypergravity on the elongation and morphology of protonemata of Adiantum capillus-veneris
Hirokazu Kasahara Kazumi Yanagiya Yuichi Takeuchi Masamichi Yamashita Mitsuhiro Yamada 《Physiologia plantarum》1995,93(2):352-356
Elongation growth of protonemata of Adiantum capillus-veneris , which can be controlled by light irradiation, was examined under acropetal and basipetal hypergravity conditions (from -13 to +20 g ) using a newly developed centrifugation equipment. Elongation of the protonemata under red light was inhibited by basipetal hypergravity at more than +15 g but was promoted by acropetal hypergravity from -5 to -8 g . Division of the protonemal cells that was induced by white light was inhibited under basipetal hypergravity at +20 g but was unaffected under acropetal hypergravity at -15 g . Upon exposure to continuous red light for 7 to 8 days, most of the protonemata grew as filamentous cells in the absence of a change in the normal gravitational force (control), but more than half of the protonemal cells were abnormal in terms of shape when maintained under hypergravity at +20 g . 相似文献

We investigated the involvement of phosphatidylinositol 3-kinase (PtdIns 3-kinase) in the initiation of signal transduction by nerve growth factor (NGF) in the rat pheochromocytoma PC12 cell line. PtdIns 3-kinase catalyzes the formation of phosphoinositides with phosphate in the D-3 position of the inositol ring and previously has been found to associate with other activated protein tyrosine kinases, including growth factor receptor tyrosine kinases. Anti-phosphotyrosine immunoprecipitates had PtdIns 3-kinase activity that reached a maximum (9 times the basal activity) after a 5-min exposure of PC12 cells to NGF (100 ng/ml). Since NGF activates the tyrosine kinase activity of gp140trk, the protein product of the trk proto-oncogene, we also examined the association of PtdIns 3-kinase with gp140trk. Anti-gp140trk immunoprecipitates from NGF-stimulated PC12 cells had increased PtdIns 3-kinase activity compared to that of unstimulated cells, and larger increases were detected in cells overexpressing gp140trk, indicating that PtdIns 3-kinase associates with gp140trk. NGF produced large increases in [32P]phosphatidylinositol 3,4-bisphosphate and [32P]phosphatidylinositol 3,4,5-trisphosphate in PC12 cells labeled with [32P]orthophosphate, indicating an increase in PtdIns 3-kinase activity in intact cells. Using an anti-85-kDa PtdIns 3-kinase subunit antibody, we found that NGF promoted the tyrosine phosphorylation of an 85-kDa protein and two proteins close to 110 kDa. These studies demonstrate that NGF activates PtdIns 3-kinase and promotes its association with gp140trk and also show that NGF promotes the tyrosine phosphorylation of the 85-kDa subunit of PtdIns 3-kinase. Thus, PtdIns 3-kinase activation appears to be involved in differentiation as well as mitogenic responses. 相似文献

The addition of platelet-derived growth factor (PDGF) to intact BALB/c 3T3 cells results in the rapid (less than 1 min), dose-dependent phosphorylation of a number of proteins that could be isolated by a monoclonal antiphosphotyrosine antibody. The predominant tyrosinephosphorylated protein shared many characteristics with the PDGF receptor, including its molecular weight (170,000), isoelectric point (pI of about 4.2), its binding to DEAE-cellulose, and its pattern of binding to lectins. This 170-kDa protein, labeled with [35S] methionine, was substantially purified from PDGF-stimulated cells using the monoclonal anti-phosphotyrosine antibody but was not significantly immunopurified from unstimulated cells. At 37 degrees C, phosphorylation of the 170-kDa protein was maximal by 5-10 min of exposure to PDGF, and thereafter decreased rapidly. However, at 4 degrees C, the phosphorylation continued to increase after 3 h of exposure to PDGF. Subsequently, shifting the cells from 4 to 37 degrees C resulted in an additional rapid burst of tyrosine phosphorylation. Among the other PDGF-stimulated molecules, the most prominent and consistently observed was a cytosolic, acidic (pI of about 4.2), 74-kDa protein. These findings indicate that the action of PDGF in vivo is associated with the rapid and transient tyrosine phosphorylation of several membrane and cytosolic proteins; the most prominent of these proteins, isolated by monoclonal antibody to phosphotyrosine, is likely to be the PDGF receptor. The use of this antibody provides a new approach for purification of the PDGF receptor. 相似文献

To develop an alternative to hyperthermia for the induction of hsp70 for presurgical cytoprotection, we investigated the optimal exposure conditions for magnetic field induction of hsp70. Normal human breast cells (HTB124) were exposed to 60-Hz magnetic fields and hsp70 levels were measured following three different exposure conditions: continuous exposure up to 3 h, a single 20-min exposure, and a single 20-min exposure followed by repeated 20-min exposures at different field strengths. In cells exposed continuously for 3 h, hsp70 levels peaked (46%) within 20 min and returned to control levels by 2 h. Following a single 20-min exposure, the return of hsp70 levels to control values extended to more than 3 h. When cells underwent a 20-min exposure followed by repeated 20-min exposures (restimulation) with different field strengths, additional increases in hsp70 levels were induced: 31% at 1 h, 41% at 2 h, and 30% at 3 h.

Exposure of rat dams to hypergravity during pregnancy is associated with increased pup mortality, reduced food intake, and decreased rates of glucose oxidation and lipogenesis in mammary tissue. We hypothesized that increased pup mortality is due to changes in maternal metabolism and not to reduced food intake of dams. Effects of hypergravity on rate of glucose oxidation and lipogenesis in mammary, liver, and adipose tissue were measured in rat dams centrifuged at 2.0 G [hypergravity (HG)], kept at 1.0 G (control), or fed to match the intake of HG rats (pair fed) from gestation day 11 (G11) until G21 or postpartum day 3 (P3). Body weight, percent body fat, metabolizable energy, and nitrogen balance were significantly less in HG dams compared with controls (P<0.05); however, these factors were not different between HG and pair-fed dams. By P3, 100% of control and pair-fed pups survived, while only 49% of HG pups survived. At G21, rates of glucose oxidation and lipogenesis in mammary and adipose tissue were less in HG than in control and pair-fed dams (P<0.1 and P<0.05). In liver, at G21, the rate of lipogenesis was greater in HG than control and pair-fed dams (P<0.01); at P3, lipogenesis was greater in control than HG and pair-fed dams (P<0.05). Gene expression of ATP citrate lyase, acetyl-CoA carboxylase, and fatty acid synthase increased in liver from pregnancy to lactation in control and pair-fed dams but not HG dams. Thus reduced food intake and body mass due to hypergravity exposure cannot explain the dramatic decrease in HG pup survival. 相似文献

Trichinella spiralis infection causes hyperexcitability in enteric after-hyperpolarising (AH) sensory neurons that is mimicked by neural, immune or inflammatory mediators known to stimulate adenylyl cyclase (AC)/cyclic 3',5'-adenosine monophosphate (cAMP) signaling. The hypothesis was tested that ongoing modulation and sustained amplification in the AC/cAMP/phosphorylated cAMP related element binding protrein (pCREB) signaling pathway contributes to hyperexcitability and neuronal plasticity in gut sensory neurons after nematode infection. Electrophysiological, immunological, molecular biological or immunochemical studies were done in T. spiralis-infected guinea-pigs (8000 larvae or saline) after acute-inflammation (7 days) or 35 days p.i., after intestinal clearance. Acute-inflammation caused AH-cell hyperexcitability and elevated mucosal and neural tissue levels of myeloperoxidase, mast cell tryptase, prostaglandin E2, leukotrine B4, lipid peroxidation, nitric oxide and gelatinase; lower level inflammation persisted 35 days p.i. Acute exposure to blockers of AC, histamine, cyclooxygenase or leukotriene pathways suppressed AH-cell hyperexcitability in a reversible manner. Basal cAMP responses or those evoked by forskolin (FSK), Ro-20-1724, histamine or substance P in isolated myenteric ganglia were augmented after T. spiralis infection; up-regulation also occurred in AC expression and AC-immunoreactivity in calbindin (AH) neurons. The cAMP-dependent slow excitatory synaptic transmission-like responses to histamine (mast cell mediator) or substance P (neurotransmitter) acting via G-protein coupled receptors (GPCR) in AH neurons were augmented by up to 2.5-fold after T. spiralis infection. FSK, histamine, substance P or T. spiralis acute infection caused a 5- to 30-fold increase in cAMP-dependent nuclear CREB phosphorylation in isolated ganglia or calbindin (AH) neurons. AC and CREB phosphorylation remained elevated 35 days p.i.. Ongoing immune activation, AC up-regulation, enhanced phosphodiesterase IV activity and facilitation of the GPCR-AC/cAMP/pCREB signaling pathway contributes to T. spiralis-induced neuronal plasticity and AH-cell hyperexcitability. This may be relevant in gut nematode infections and inflammatory bowel diseases, and is a potential therapeutic target. 相似文献

The [32P]phosphoproteins and [35S]thiophosphoproteins were analyzed by electrophoresis and autoradiography after microinjection of [gamma-32P]ATP or of [35S]ATP-gamma-S into living Xenopus oocytes. The level of 32P incorporation into a 20-kDA protein was decreased following progesterone treatment (between 1 and 2 hr). This 20-kDa protein was partially thiophosphorylated in vivo by [35S]ATP-gamma-S. Furthermore it was found that this phosphoprotein was partially purified by TCA (1%) extraction and heat treatment. Microinjection of the C-subunit of cAMP-dependent protein kinase (0.6 to 1.2 pmole) inhibited maturation and provoked an increase in the level of phosphorylation of the 20-kDa protein and of a 32-kDa protein, indicating that both proteins were in vivo substrates (directly or indirectly) for cAMP-dependent protein kinase. When inhibitor-1 of protein phosphatase-1 was microinjected (5 to 10 pmole per oocyte) meiotic maturation was inhibited and the level of phosphorylation of the 32-kDa protein was increased; the same result was obtained following ATP-gamma-S (1 mM) microinjection. Altogether these results suggest that a 20-kDa phosphoprotein, whose level of phosphorylation is decreased by progesterone, could be involved in the regulation of maturation by lowering the level phosphorylation of a 32-kDa phosphoprotein. An attractive hypothesis would be that the 20-kDa phosphoprotein is an inhibitor of protein phosphatase-1. 相似文献

In isolated, 32Pi-loaded, rat adipocytes, we have examined phosphorylation of the major cAMP-dependent protein kinase (A-kinase) substrate, a protein that appears to be associated with the lipid storage droplet and migrates in sodium dodecyl sulfate-polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis as a 65-67-kDa doublet. In control cells, a strong phosphorylation signal is detected as the (+/- cAMP) A-kinase activity ratio ranges from approximately 0.1 to approximately 0.3-0.4 with increasing isoproterenol concentrations. By contrast, insulin-treated cells exhibiting A-kinase activity ratios over the range of 0.1-0.25 contain less 32P in the 65-67-kDa protein than control cells exhibiting identical A-kinase activity ratios. At higher activity ratios (greater than 0.3), this reduction in phosphorylation of the 65-67-kDa protein by insulin disappears. It is concluded that insulin stimulates a phosphatase activity that acts on the 65-67-kDa protein. Insulin actions aside, these studies reveal two interesting phenomena. 1) Whereas elevated, steady-state A-kinase activities are established rapidly (1-2 min) upon isoproterenol stimulation, phosphorylation of the 65-67-kDa substrate proceeds through a burst, followed by a decline to a steady-state level by 10-12 min. An "adaptation" mechanism, providing for a constant response to a constant stimulus, may underlie this lack of parallelism between the time course of phosphorylation and A-kinase activity. 2) Removal of [32Pi] orthophosphate immediately before isoproterenol stimulation leads to a rapid (t approximately 10 min) loss in labeling of the 65-67-kDa protein, whereas the phosphorylation state of other phosphoproteins are not changed. These data suggest that elevation of A-kinase activity leads to a rapid exchange of external Pi with an ATP pool that is used by A-kinase. 相似文献

1. The procerebrum (PC) of the terrestrial slug Limax maximus is of interest as a potential site of olfactory information processing (Gelperin et al., 1989). The neuromodulator serotonin is present in the procerebrum and can elicit action potentials from cultured procerebral neurons. We have investigated the effects of serotonin on second-messenger signaling systems and protein phosphorylation as a prelude to studies on long-term synaptic plasticity in the Limax procerebral lobe. 2. We found that several biochemical changes are triggered within 20 min of adding serotonin to the isolated procerebral lobe: adenylate cyclase is activated, protein phosphorylation and synthesis are modulated, and phosphatidylinositol-metabolism is stimulated. 3. Serotonin causes a rapid synthesis of cAMP, reaching a 20- to 30-fold increase within 1 min. Serotonin affects the rate of phosphorylation of several proteins, detected after a brief (20-min) incubation of the procerebral lobe in [32P]phosphate-containing medium. The level of synthesis of several proteins is altered by serotonin, as determined by alterations in [35S]methionine incorporation during a 20-min incubation. Serotonin also causes a slow accumulation of inositoltrisphosphate. 4. Our study shows that within a short time (less than 20 min) serotonin can influence several second-messenger signaling systems and the functional state and abundance of proteins in the procerebral lobe. These serotonin-stimulated events should have direct consequences for intercellular communication in the odor-processing network of the procerebral lobe. 相似文献

Antigen challenge of sensitized rats increases airway responsiveness to methacholine 总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1
We measured airway responsiveness to methacholine (MCh) of highly inbred rats before and after six inhalational challenges with antigen. Ten Brown-Norway rats (130-216 g) that were actively sensitized to ovalbumin (OA) received six challenges with OA at 5-day intervals beginning 19 days after sensitization. An aerosol of OA (5% wt/vol) was inhaled for 1, 2, 5, and 10 min or until pulmonary resistance (RL) increased by at least 50%. Challenges with aerosolized MCh were performed immediately before and 14 days after sensitization, 2 days after the 3rd OA exposure, and 2, 7, 12, and 17 days after the 6th OA challenge. Four unsensitized rats underwent inhalational challenges with MCh over an equivalent time period. Responsiveness to MCh was calculated as the concentration of MCh required to increase RL to 200% of the control value (EC200RL). Seven out of 10 rats in the experimental group reacted to the first OA challenge with an immediate increase in RL of greater than 50% of control (range 70-550%). Three animals were unreactive to OA. Base-line EC200RL for all rats undergoing sensitization was 2.13 mg/ml (geometric mean), and it did not change significantly after sensitization (2.05 mg/ml). However, EC200RL of the rats that reacted to OA (n = 7) decreased significantly after 3 (1.11 mg/ml; P less than 0.005) and 6 OA exposures (0.96 mg/ml; P less than 0.005). The increase in responsiveness to inhaled MCh was present 17 days after the last OA exposure (EC200RL = 1.40 mg/ml; P less than 0.05). EC200RL of neither the unreactive sensitized rats (n = 3) nor the control rats (n = 4) changed after OA challenges.(ABSTRACT TRUNCATED AT 250 WORDS) 相似文献

Pattern of protein phosphorylation in aortic endothelial cells. Modulation by adenine nucleotides and bradykinin 总被引:7,自引:0,他引:7
In bovine aortic endothelial cells, ATP (10-100 microM) and bradykinin (0.1-1.0 microM) enhanced the phosphorylation of two major protein substrates with apparent molecular masses of 95 and 28 kDa. The action of ATP involved P2y purinoceptors. The kinetics were distinct for the two phosphopeptides. The phosphorylation of the 95-kDa protein was rapid (within 30 s) but transient (maintained for only 2 min). This time course agrees with that observed for the increase of the cytosolic Ca2+ level induced by ATP in these cells. Ionophore A23187 (greater than or equal to 100 nM) induced this phosphorylation for a longer period (5-10 min), whereas phorbol 12-myristate 13-acetate (PMA) was completely inactive. The enhancement of the 28-kDa protein phosphorylation was detectable after a 5-min lag and was maintained for at least 20 min. PMA (50 nM) stimulated weakly the phosphorylation of the 28-kDa protein, whereas A23187 (100-300 nM) was even more effective than ATP and bradykinin. The 95-kDa phosphoprotein seems to be related to a 100-kDa substrate of calmodulin-dependent protein kinase III recently identified as elongation factor-2. The 28-kDa protein, which was resolved as three variants in bidimensional gel electrophoresis, appears very similar to a slightly heavier phosphoprotein from thrombin-stimulated human platelets. In addition, bidimensional electrophoresis allowed the detection of at least 10 substrates (from 18 to 46 kDa) whose phosphorylation was enhanced equally well by ATP, bradykinin, and A23187 and only partially by PMA. In conclusion, protein phosphorylation induced by ATP and bradykinin in aortic endothelial cells seems to be catalyzed mostly by Ca2+-dependent kinases, distinct from protein kinase C. 相似文献

Luteinizing hormone increases inositol trisphosphate and cytosolic free Ca2+ in isolated bovine luteal cells 总被引:3,自引:0,他引:3
J S Davis L L Weakland R V Farese L A West 《The Journal of biological chemistry》1987,262(18):8515-8521
The present studies were conducted to determine whether luteinizing hormone (LH), a hormone which increases intracellular cAMP, also increases "second messengers" derived from inositol phospholipid hydrolysis in isolated bovine luteal cells. In luteal cells prelabeled with 32PO4, LH provoked increases in labeling of phosphatidic acid, phosphatidylinositol, and polyphosphatidylinositol (PIP). No reductions in 32P-prelabeled PIP and PIP2 were observed in LH-treated cells. In luteal cells prelabeled with myo-[2-3H]inositol, LH provoked rapid (10-30 s) and sustained (up to 60 min) increases in the levels of inositol mono-, bis-, and trisphosphates (IP, IP2, and IP3, respectively. IP3 was formed more rapidly than IP2 or IP following LH treatment. In addition, LH increased (50%) levels of [3H]inositol phospholipids in 30-min incubations. LiCl (10 mM) enhanced inositol phosphate accumulation in response to LH. Maximal increases in IP3 occurred at 1-10 micrograms/ml of LH. Similar temporal and dose-response relationships were observed for LH-stimulated IP3 and cAMP accumulation. However, exogenous cAMP (8-bromo-cAMP, 5 mM) and forskolin (10 microM) had no effect on inositol phosphate synthesis. The initial (1 min) effects of LH on IP3 and cAMP were independent of extracellular calcium concentrations, whereas the sustained (5 min) effect of LH on IP3, but not cAMP, was dependent on a source of extracellular calcium. LH-stimulated progesterone synthesis was also dependent on the presence of extracellular calcium. LH induced rapid and concentration-dependent increases in [Ca2+]i as measured by Quin 2 fluorescence. The LH-induced increases in [Ca2+]i were maximal within 30 s (approximately 2-fold) and remained elevated for at least 10 min. In Ca2+-free media containing 2 mM [ethylenebis(oxyethylenenitrilo)]tetraacetic acid, LH was still able to increase [Ca2+]i, but the increase was slightly less in magnitude and of shorter duration (2-4 min). These findings demonstrate that LH can rapidly raise levels of IP3 and [Ca2+]i, as well as, cAMP in bovine luteal cells. These findings suggest that at least two second messenger systems exist to mediate the action of LH in the corpus luteum. 相似文献

Available data relating duration of +GZ stress to blood gas exchange status is limited. Furthermore, studies focusing on pulmonary gas exchange during +GZ stress when abdominal restriction is imposed have yielded conflicting results. To examine the time course of blood gas changes occurring during exposure to +GZ stress in dogs and the influence of G-suit abdominal bladder inflation on this time course, seven spontaneously breathing pentobarbital-anesthetized adult mongrel dogs were exposed to 60 s of up to +5 GZ stress with and without G-suit abdominal bladder inflation. Arterial and mixed venous blood were sampled for blood gas analysis during the first and last 20 s of the exposure and at 3 min postexposure. Little change in blood gas status was seen at +3 GZ regardless of G-suit status. However, with G-suit inflation, arterial PO2 fell by a mean of 14.7 Torr during the first 20 s at +4 Gz (P less than 0.01, t test) and 20.6 Torr at +5 GZ (P less than 0.01). It continued to fall an additional 10 Torr during the next 40 s at both +4 and +5 GZ. Arterial PO2 was still 5-10 Torr below control values (P less than 0.05) 3 min postexposure. A second series of experiments paralleling the first focused on blood gas status during repeated exposure to acceleration. Blood gas status was assessed in five dogs during the late 20 s of two 60-s exposures separated by 3 min at 0 GZ. No significant differences between the initial and repeated exposures were detected. The data indicate that G-suit abdominal bladder inflation promotes increased venous admixture. 相似文献

Pretreatment of rat FRTL-5 thyroid cells with thyrotropin (TSH) markedly potentiated the mitogenic response to insulin-like growth factor I (IGF-I) (Tramontano, D., Moses, A. C., Veneziani, B. M., and Ingbar, S. H. (1988) Endocrinology 122, 127-132; Takahashi, S.-I., Conti, M., and Van Wyk, J. J. (1990) Endocrinology 126, 736-745). The present study was undertaken to determine whether this synergism between TSH and IGF-I in FRTL-5 cells was correlated with changes in tyrosine phosphorylation of intracellular proteins. Tyrosine phosphorylation in intact cells was determined by gel electrophoresis and immunoblotting using monospecific anti-phosphotyrosine antibodies. Cells were preincubated for up to 24 h with TSH, dibutyryl cAMP, forskolin, or cholera toxin and then incubated for an additional 1 min in the absence or presence of IGF-I. As reported by others, IGF-I rapidly increased tyrosine phosphorylation of a 175-kDa protein as well as a less intense band of 90-100 kDa. Pretreatment for 6-12 h with either TSH or other agents that elevate intracellular cAMP potentiated the IGF-I-dependent tyrosine phosphorylation of the 175-kDa substrate by 3-5-fold. Since TSH did not increase IGF receptor number of kinase activity, the effect of TSH is assumed to be exerted at a step distal to IGF receptor tyrosine kinase. Surprisingly, IGF-I-independent tyrosine phosphorylation was also increased by pretreatment with TSH. When intact cells were analyzed TSH produced a time- and concentration-dependent increase in tyrosine phosphorylation of a prominent 120-125-kDa substrate and less prominent 100- and 80-kDa substrates. Assays using Triton X-100-soluble extracts incubated with MgCl2, ATP, and orthovanadate demonstrated that TSH pretreatment increased tyrosine phosphorylation over that observed in untreated cells. In this cell-free assay, TSH pretreatment enhanced the phosphorylation of multiple substrates. These studies suggest that a cAMP stimulus that initiates a trophic effect can be propagated indirectly through multiple pathways including enhancement of tyrosine phosphorylation. 相似文献

To assess the effect of continuous heat exposure on the nocturnal patterns of renin, aldosterone, adrenocorticotropic hormone (ACTH), and cortisol, six young men were exposed to thermoneutral environment for 5 days, followed by a 5-day acclimation period in a hot dry environment (35 degrees C). Blood was collected at 10-min intervals during the second night at thermoneutrality (N0) and during the first (N1) and the last (N5) nights of heat exposure. Polygraphic recordings of sleep were scored according to established criteria. Continuous heat exposure led to progressive decreases in the 24-h urinary volume and in Na excretion, whereas urinary osmolality increased. After 5 days of uninterrupted heat, significant increases were found in plasma volume (P less than 0.05), osmolality (P less than 0.01), plasma Na (P less than 0.01), and protein levels (P less than 0.05). Sweat gland output increased during the first 3 days and then declined without any concomitant increases in body temperature. Compared with N0, there were no differences in plasma renin activity (PRA) and aldosterone (PA) profiles during N1 at 35 degrees C. However, during N5 the mean PRA and PA levels were significantly (P less than 0.05) enhanced, and their nocturnal oscillations were amplified (P less than 0.05). This amplification occurred mainly in the second part of the night when regular rapid-eye-movement and non-rapid-eye-movement sleep cycles were observed, leading to a general upward trend in the nocturnal profiles. The relationship between the nocturnal PRA oscillations and the sleep cycles was not modified. ACTH and cortisol patterns were not affected by continuous heat exposure.(ABSTRACT TRUNCATED AT 250 WORDS) 相似文献
