Pregnant mice were irradiated with 0.5 Gy fission neutrons on the eighteenth day of their gestation. The average litter size at birth was unchanged but mortality increased 5-6 fold in the first 3 days. The irradiated mice were the same weight as control mice at birth but showed a progressively increasing weight deficiency up to at least 36 days as compared to controls. Brain weight was 37, 45 and 25 per cent less in 2-, 3- and 52-week old irradiated animals, respectively, and the ratio of brain weight to body weight was 25, 27 and 13 per cent less. The concentrations of DNA, RNA and protein (mg/g wet tissue) were the same in irradiated and control mice in both brain and liver at all three ages. Total DNA, RNA and protein contents of whole brain after irradiation were 56-75 per cent of the control levels. No definite decrease was observed in liver. Histological study at 6 hours after irradiation showed nuclear pyknosis in the central nervous system from definite to very severe according to the part examined. It is concluded that damage to the central nervous system of the 18-day mouse foetus after neutron irradiation is mainly due to killing and/or inhibition of the differentiation of neuroblasts. 相似文献

Temporary changes in arylsulphatase (EC 3.1.6.1) activity in the liver of adult male Swiss mice after gamma-irradiation were studied. The animals were whole-body irradiated with a single dose of 10 Gy from a 60Co source, always at 19.00. The enzyme activity in crude liver homogenates was assessed every four hours during the 24-hour period, starting at 20.00. The enzyme activity with p-nitrocatechol sulphate as a substrate was related to mg of protein, gram of fresh tissue, and the whole organ weight. Protein concentration in the liver was calculated both per gram of fresh tissue and for the whole organ weight. The body and liver weights were also analysed. No fluctuations in the activity of arylsulphatase in the control mice were observed. Gamma-irradiated mice showed enzyme activity changes expressed in nkat per mg protein with a maximum at 4.00 and minimum at 20.00, twenty-five hours after irradiation. As compared with non-irradiated controls, the arylsulphatase activity calculated in nkat per g of fresh tissue and nkat per whole liver weight differed in irradiated animals which were killed at 4.00, while there was also a difference in the protein concentration in mg related to the whole organ weight in those killed at 12.00. 相似文献

The effect of whole-body irradiation on RNA synthesis in regenerating and non-growing livers was studied in intact and adrenalectomized rats. The animals were divided into four sub-groups: (1) control; (2) irradiation only; (3) partially-hepatectomized; and (4) irradiated partially-hepatectomized. Newly-synthesized RNA was determined by 30 or 40 min uptake of (6-14C) orotic acid. Both nuclear and polyribosomal RNA synthesis in regenerating livers of adrenalectomized rats were depressed below their control levels, regardless of whether irradiation was 2 hours before or 2 hours after partial hepatectomy. Specific radioactivity values of regenerating livers of adrenal intact and adrenalectomized rats were elevated above those of the non-growing livers from irradiated and unirradiated rats. 相似文献

In experiments on 4000 noninbred and CBA mice the influence of the injections of alpha-, beta- and gamma-globusin, IgG and IgM, obtained from the sera of hemostimulated and intact mice, on the intestinal microflora after irradiation has been studied. The experiments have revealed that 3 subcutaneous or intraperitoneal injections of 1 mg per mouse, made 2, 24 and 48 hours after the irradiation of the animals with gamma-rays in a dose of 700 r, considerably reduce the intensity of the accumulation of opportunistic bacteria in the small and large intestines, commonly occurring in irradiated animals. A decrease in the number of lactobacteria is less pronounced. The preparations of globulin and IgG obtained from hemostimulated mice, i.e. enriched with normal tissue antibodies, have proved to be most effective. 相似文献

The experiments demonstrated that pretreatment of lethally irradiated recipient (CBA X C57BL/6) F1hybrid mice with cyclophosphamide (200 mg/kg of body weight) on day before the bone marrow transplantation (4 hours after the irradiation) suppressed the allogeneic inhibition of hematopoietic stem cells to 24% (while the inhibition in the untreated animals was 92.5%). It is suggested that cyclophosphamide acted on the recipient's radioresistant lymphoid cells effecting the allogeneic inhibition of stem cells. 相似文献

A histological study of irradiated thyroid and pituitary glands of metamorphosing Xenopus tadpoles was made. Both glands shrink, reaching a minimum nine hours after irradiation and recover by 24 hours. It is suggested that sudden release of hormones may explain a reported hastening of metamorphosis in irradiated tadpoles.
Xenopus larvae received 2500 rads of whole body X-rays.
Nine hours after irradiation both pituitary and thyroid volumes were significantly less than the controls. From 24 hours after, the volumes had returned to control levels.
The mitotic incidence in irradiated thyroids fell within five hours to one tenth of the control value and remained suppressed for at least three days. 相似文献

The biosynthesis of calcitonin was studied using radioimmunochemical methods and suspensions of calcitonin-producing cells derived from trout ultimobranchial glands. [14C]leucine was incorporated into cell proteins in a linear fashion for up to 36 hrs. Acid-extracted cellular radioactivity could be precipitated by trichloroacetic acid and calcitonin antiserum. Chromatography of the cell extracts revealed two distinct peaks of radio-immunoassayable and immunoprecipitable calcitonin activity. One peak coeluted with radioiodinated calcitonin, the other as a higher molecular weight species. The relative incorporation of [14C]leucine into the higher and lower molecular weight peaks during “pulse-chase” experiments was consistent with a precursor-product relationship between them. 相似文献

Summary Thirtysix mice were irradiated with a single dose of X-rays (2760 rad) on one leg, while the rest of the body was shielded by lead. The animals were killed 1–270 days after the irradiation and 3H-thymidine was injected 2 hours before death. Sections from the sciatic nerve and its innervated muscles were examined by autoradiography and by special methods for the mast cells. No changes in the endoneurial mast-cell component could be disclosed after irradiation. At all times after the irradiation, the numbers of labelled Schwanncell nuclei and the sarcolemna-cell nuclei were moderately decreased on the irradiated side, when compared with the control side.Supported by a grant from the Swedish Medical Research Council. 相似文献

Chromatography on phosphocellulose P-11 under conditions different from those applicable for deaminases specific to 5' AMP resulted in homogeneous preparation of snail foot muscle enzyme. Snail deaminase is a tetramer with molecular weight of 240,000, composed of four apparently identical subunits. Its amino acid composition is remarkably different from deaminases of higher animals, it was not inhibited by EDTA, but zinc became inhibitory to the snail enzyme. Unlike deaminases specific to 5' AMP, nonspecific deaminase is not a zinc-containing enzyme. It was adopted further for the preparation of hypoxanthine derivatives of adenosine-containing nucleotides such as NAD, NADH, AMP-P(NH)P, AMP, ADP and ATP. 相似文献

Carboxymethylglucan, a novel soluble derivative of beta-1,3-glucan, was found to enhance hemopoietic recovery in sublethally gamma-irradiated mice and to increase survival in lethally irradiated animals when given 24 hours prior to irradiation. Postirradiation treatment with carboxymethylglucan also induced favourable effects in terms of survival when used in combination with preirradiation cystamine administration. 相似文献

Binding of nonsuppressible insulinlike activity to human serum. Evidence for a carrier protein. 总被引:5,自引:0,他引:5
When 125I-labeled nonsuppressible insulinlike activity—soluble in acid/ethanol (NSILA-S) is incubated with human serum between 10 and 20% of the radioactivity are bound to serum proteins and can be displaced specifically by cold NSILA-S. Chromatography of the incubation mixture on Sephadex G-200 at pH 7.5 reveals three peaks of radioactivity in the large molecular weight region and a fourth one corresponding to low molecular unbound labeled NSILA-S. An excess of cold NSILA-S during preincubation leads to the disappearance of the two major large molecular weight peaks and to a concomitant increase of the peak eluting in the low molecular weight range. Binding of 125I-labeled NSILA-S is highly sensitive to small concentrations of cold NSILA-S, whereas insulin, ACTH and human growth hormone are completely ineffective in displacing bound 125I-labeled NSILA-S. NSILA-S preparations of different purity show displacement according to their specific biological activities. Furthermore, binding of 125I-labeled NSILA-S to serum pH- and time-dependent and displays saturation characteristics. Chromatography of serum on Sephadex G-200 with 0.15 m acetic acid/0.15 m NaCl localizes the binding fraction in the 50,000–70,000 molecular weight range. Boiling of serum for 5 min abolishes binding completely.These studies help explain why the molecular weight of NSILA varied considerably from one group of investigators to the other. 相似文献

Abstract The effects of irradiation on aminoacids biosynthesis in barley. — The effect of radiations on the biosynthesis of aminoacids in barley has been studied. Seeds have been irradiated with X-tays of 7.5 and seedlings with 7.5, 15 and 30 Kr. After 6–7 days of growth the control and irradiated seedlings, and the seedlings from control and irradiated seeds, have been supplied with 10–100 μC of C14O2 in a closed chamber for 44–42 hours. The material was extracted with hot ethanol (85%–80% and 40%). Total radioactivity and the radioactivity of the basic fraction, eluted with HCl from Dowex 50, X-8′ (200–400 mesh, H?) have been measured. It was observed that radiations increase the radioactivity of the aminoacid fraction, both in leaves and roots. A correlation between the decrease of fresh weight and increase of aminoacids radioactivity was shown. A possible explanation might be visualized in terms of the inhibition of growth and protein synthesis by radiations. 相似文献

Poly(ADP-ribose)-polymerase is an important cellular regulatory enzyme which can change chromatin structure and function. Action mechanisms and activation of the enzyme are described. The synthesis of poly(ADP-ribose) can be modulated by interaction of substances with the DNA binding site of the poly(ADP-ribose)-polymerase. The involvement of this enzyme in DNA repair, differentiation, carcinogenesis and DNA replication has been suggested. Unscheduled DNA synthesis in spleen cells of C57bl mice drug treated and gamma irradiated in vivo and 3 days later UV irradiated in vitro showed a slight decrease in grain numbers of treated animals. Poly(ADP-ribose)-synthesis was highest in the irradiated groups 18 hours after gamma irradiation. A higher amount of supercoils in DNA was generated by both drugs used. In one long-term experiment the gamma-irradiated group of mice had the highest incidence of lymphomas, while the combined treatment group, modulated and gamma irradiated, showed a lymphoma level like in the unirradiated control group. 相似文献

UV-B irradiation (700 J/m2) of bone marrow (BM) cells prior to transplantation into lethally gamma-irradiated (1050 rad) allogeneic rats prevents the development of GVHD and results in a stable mixed lymphohematopoietic chimerism. To better understand the underlying mechanisms of the development of stable radiation chimeras in this model, this study was designed to examine whether the dose (700 J/m2) of UV-B irradiation used for the modulation of the BM inoculum would affect the homing pattern of radiolabeled BM cells compared to that of thoracic duct lymphocytes (TDL) in the naive and lethally irradiated recipients. The results showed that intravenously administered, 111Indium-oxine-labeled, unmodified TDL home specifically to the spleen, lymph nodes, and BM compartments with a subsequent recirculation of a large number of cells from the spleen to the lymph nodes. In contrast, radiolabeled, unmodified BM cells migrate specifically to the spleen, liver, and BM with the lymph nodes, thymus, and nonlymphoid organs containing very little amounts of radioactivity. The stable concentrations of radioactivity in the lymphoid and nonlymphoid compartments between 3 and 72 hr after injection suggest that BM cells, unlike TDL, do not recirculate. The migration pattern of BM cells in the naive recipient was not significantly different from that seen in lethally irradiated animals except for the higher concentration of radioactivity in the spleen and BM of irradiated animals compared to that seen in naive recipients. The similarity of tissue localization of BM cells in naive or in irradiated syngeneic recipients to that of allogeneic recipients suggests that the homing of BM cells is not MHC restricted. Our findings of similarity between tissue localization of UV-B-irradiated labeled BM cells and unmodified BM cells in naive and lethally irradiated recipients suggest that a dose of 700 J/m2 of UV-B irradiation is not capable of impairing BM cell migration although it is sufficient to abolish the homing of TDL to the HEV-bearing organs. Thus, our results show that BM cells are less susceptible to cell damage by UV-B irradiation than lymphocytes thereby providing the rationale for ex vivo modulation (rather than elimination) of mature T-lymphocytes in the donor BM inoculum with UV-B irradiation. This relatively simple and effective approach to modulation of T-cells in donor BM inoculum may be potentially useful in preventing GVHD without endangering successful engraftment in larger animals and in man. 相似文献

Pregnant rats received whole body irradiation with 2.6 Gy gamma-ray from a 60Co source at Day 20 of gestation. When pups were 4 months old, activities of electron transport system and steroid monooxygenase in tests were assayed. The content of total cytochrome P-450 in the irradiated testes had increased to 170% of that in non-irradiated rats, but NADPH-cytochrome P-450 reductase activity had reduced to 36% of the control. Also, amounts of cytochrome b5 in testicular microsomal fraction were decreased markedly after irradiation, but no significant change of NADH-cytochrome b5 reductase activity was observed in the treated pups. Because both 17 alpha-hydroxylase and C17-C20 lyase activities tended to be decreased by fetal irradiation, testosterone production from progesterone and 17 alpha-hydroxyprogesterone was reduced to about 30% of the control. From these results, it has been suggested that the testicular cytochrome P-450 is radioresistant but steroid monooxygenase activities are reduced after the fetal irradiation. We propose that the discrepancy arises from the marked decrement of NADPH-cytochrome P-450 reductase activity. 相似文献

X-irradiation of mammalian cells with moderate doses (100-1000 rads) inhibits the initiation of DNA replicons. This inhibition is observed as depressed amounts of radioactivity at low molecular weights when the DNA from the cells is analysed by velocity sedimentation in alkaline sucrose gradients at 30 min after irradiation. There is no detectable effect on chain elongation and joining of those molecules that do initiate replication; this is indicated by the presence of the same amounts of radioactivity in nascent DNA molecules of high molecular weights from control and irradiated cells. The labeling of DNA molecules that initiated replication before irradiation continues unhindered for more than 60 min after irradiation, which is observed as peaks of radioactivity at high S values in alkaline sucrose gradients from irradiated cells. These data indicate that DNA replication in mammalian cells proceeds by continuous joining of nascent molecules that initiate almost simultaneously at origins at various distances from one another. Some of the interorigin distances are much greater than others, implying that large replicons make up a significant component of mammalian DNA. 相似文献

Swiss mice (S/RV/Cri-ba) were exposed to a spectral range of UV light emitting predominantly lambda 253.7 nm. Following a cumulative dose of 22.5 X 10(3) KJ/m2 tumours were induced. The tumour development occurred after 52 weeks, relatively a longer time interval following exposure, compared with shorter time intervals required for production of tumours in mice by spectral range UVA and UVB as observed by other workers. A study of biochemical events viz. levels of protein, DNA, zinc, iron, sodium and potassium has been made in the skin samples of control and irradiated animals following ultraviolet irradiation with a dose of 22.5 X 10(3) KJ/m2. Study of macromolecular events in the skin of control and irradiated mice, showed fluctuations in the levels of DNA. A particularly notable event is the occurrence of increased levels of DNA and zinc and their persistence during the 9-39 weeks post UV interval prior to tumour production. No such variation was observed in the control group in any of the intervals. Increased levels were also seen in case of iron, sodium and potassium at different intervals in the post UV periods. These fluctuations in various biochemical events are deemed to be indicative of UV initiated biochemical changes. 相似文献

RP-1, a herbal preparation of Podophyllum hexandrum has already been reported to provide protection against whole body lethal gamma irradiation (10 Gy). It has also been reported to render radioprotection to germ cells during spermatogenesis. Present study was undertaken to unravel the cellular and molecular mechanism of action of RP-1 on testicular system in strain 'A' mice. Various antioxidant parameters such as thiol content, glutathione peroxidase (GPx), glutathione reductase (GR), glutathione-S-transferase (GST) enzyme activity, lipid peroxidation (LPO) and total protein levels were investigated. Thiol content was seen to increase significantly (p < 0.05) in both RP-1 alone and RP-1 pretreated irradiated groups over the irradiated groups at 8, 16 and 24 h. Irradiation (10 Gy) significantly decreased GPx, GST and GR activity in comparison to untreated control but RP-1 treatment before irradiation significantly (p < 0.05) countered radiation-induced decrease in the activity of these enzymes. Radiation-induced LPO was also found to be reduced at all time intervals by RP-1 treatment before irradiation. As compared to irradiated group the protein content in testicular tissue was increased in RP-1 pretreated irradiated group at 4 and 16 h significantly (p < 0.05). Comets revealed by single-cell gel electrophoresis were significantly longer (p < 0.001) in irradiated mice than in unirradiated control. RP-1 treatment before irradiation, however, rendered significant increase (p < 0.05) in comet length over the corresponding control and irradiated group initially at 4 h but at later time points, this was reduced significantly (p < 0.01) as compared to the irradiated group. RP-1 treatment alone rendered shorter comets at 8, 16 and 24 h than irradiated groups (p < 0.001). This study implies that RP-1 offers radioprotection at biochemical and cytogenetic level by protecting antioxidant enzymes, reducing LPO and increasing thiol content. 相似文献

New Zealand rabbits, fasted for 12 hours, were subjected to 500 rads of whole-body irradiation. K+-palmitate-1-14C oxidation was assayed with the 600 X g supernatant of thymus and liver homogenates, in the presence of ATP, at various time intervals from irradiation. For a period of 24 hours following irradiation, oxidation by liver preparations was not significantly affected. The rate of oxidation by thymus was decreased to less than one-third of the control value within 12 hours from irradiation and, at 24 hours, was almost completely abolished. Increased ATP concentration could increase only to a small extent the oxidation by thymus preparations of irradiated animals. Oxidation by isolated thymus mitochondria was also inhibited by irradiation. Counting of the water-soluble oxidation products of palmitate-1-14C suggests that the inhibition is not due to the impairment of the reactions of the citric acid cycle. The non-esterified fatty acid concentration of thymus was not altered at 12 hours following irradiation. Esterification of K+-palmitate-l-14C into the thymus lipids was not affected 12 hours after irradiation. 相似文献
