Time relationships for recovery of several host organs from toxic effects of 5-fluorouracil were determined in ACI rats bearing Morris hepatoma 3924A. A single injection of 150 mg/kg body weight 5-fluorouracil (the LD10) resulted in loss of 90% of the tibial bone marrow, 60% of the intestinal mucosa, and 90% of the thymus as measured by total DNA content of the organs. Organ DNA contents following 150 mg/kg of the drug were minimal on day 3 for intestine and on day 5 for marrow and thymus. A return to pretreatment or higher levels of DNA was observed by day 4 for intestine, day 11 for tibial marrow, and day 19 for thymus. Incorporation of 3H-deoxyuridine into host organ DNA after 150 mg/kg 5-fluorouracil was inhibited 36 hrs for intestine, 3 days for thymus, and 5 days for tibial bone marrow. Inhibition of 3H-deoxyuridine incorporation into DNA was similar for 50, 100, and 150 mg/kg doses both in tumor and in host organs, but recovery of 3H-deoxyuridine incorporation and DNA content of host organs began later with the higher doses of 5-fluorouracil. Maximal incorporation of 3H-deoxyuridine into DNA was observed on day 4 for intestine, day 8 for marrow, and day 9 for thymus after treatment with 150 mg/kg 5-fluorouracil. Animal lethality following the second of two 150 mg/kg injections of 5-fluorouracil was related to the extent of recovery of intestinal mucosa and bone marrow at the time of the second injection. Survival decreased to 0% for normal rats when the interval between injections was 3-4 days, improved at 5 days and was 100% when the interval was 10-11 days. 相似文献

The influence of a tumor necrosis factor, administered 16 h before irradiation of rats, on the radiation response of thymus and bone marrow cells has been investigated. Three and 6 h after irradiation the following indices were analyzed: the number of apoptotic cells in the thymus; the accumulation of polydeoxyribonucleotides and the appearance of single-strand breaks in DNA of bone marrow and thymus cells; and the electrophoretic properties of thymocyte DNA. The injection of a tumor necrosis factor reduced the number of polydeoxyribonucleotides, inhibited internucleosome DNA fragmentation, and did not influence the formation of single-strand breaks in DNA. 相似文献

The flow cytofluorometry of cells stained with a DNA-specific probe was used to determine the share of dying cells (containing less than 2C DNA) in thymus, spleen and bone marrow cells of irradiated rats. The cell death curves for spleen and bone marrow had a plateau by the 6th h, and for thymus, by the 10th h following irradiation with different doses. On the basis of the dose-response relationship the share of cells dying in the interphase was determined in each organ under study, and dose-response curves shaped. All the curves had no shoulder. Do was 3.0, 3.0 and 3.7 Gy for thymus, spleen, and bone marrow cells, respectively. 相似文献

The alkaline single cell gel electrophoresis (comet) assay was used to assess in vitro and in vivo genotoxicity of etoposide, a topoisomerase II inhibitor known to induce DNA strand breaks, and chlorothalonil, a fungicide widely used in agriculture. For in vivo studies, rats were sacrificed at various times after treatment and the induction of DNA strand breaks was assessed in whole blood, bone marrow, thymus, liver, kidney cortex and in the distal part of the intestine. One hour after injection, etoposide induced DNA damage in all organs studied except kidney, especially in bone marrow, thymus (presence of HDC) and whole blood. As observed during in vitro comet assay on Chinese hamster ovary (CHO) cells, dose- and time-dependent DNA effects occurred in vivo with a complete disappearance of damage 24 h after administration. Even though apoptotic cells were detected in vitro 48 h after cell exposure to etoposide, such a result was not found in vivo. After chlorothalonil treatment, no DNA strand breaks were observed in rat organs whereas a clear dose-related DNA damage was observed in vitro. The discrepancy between in vivo and in vitro models could be explained by metabolic and mechanistic reasons. Our results show that the in vivo comet assay is able to detect the target organs of etoposide and suggest that chlorothalonil is devoid of appreciable in vivo genotoxic activity under the protocol used. 相似文献

It is shown that colchicine injection at doses higher than 1 mg/kg of animal weight induces cell death in thymus, spleen, bone marrow and intestine mucosa. The cell death is accompanied by a regular internucleosomal cleavage of nuclear DNA and by the elimination of the formed fragments from cells. Both the processes begin after a 1.5 hour lag-period and proceed before the outer membrane permeability for supravital dyes increases. DNA degradation is prevented by the inhibitor of protein synthesis cycloheximide. Cytochalasin B does not induce chromatin degradation or cell death and has no effect on radiation death of lymphocytes. A possible role of microtubule destruction as a switch-on mechanism of DNA degradation and cell death is discussed. 相似文献

The methylating agents methyl methanesulphonate (MMS) and N-methyl N'-nitro-N-nitrosoguanidine (MNNG), administered by single i.p. injection in mice failed to yield thymic lymphoma at doses around 60% of the LD50 values, in contrast to MNUA which gives a high yield of tumours by this route. Comparison of the tissue distribution and mode of DNA methylation by these agents showed a positive correlation with ability to methylate the 0-6 atom of guanine in DNA of the target tissues thymus and bone marrow and tumorigeneis. MMS gave a low yield of this product due to its relatively low Sn1 reactivity but was able to methylate DNA extensively at other sites in the target tissues and other organs examined. MNNG despite its ability to methylate 0-6 of guanine in DNA in vitro to the same relative extent as the potent carcinogen MNUA, methylated DNA of thymus and bone marrow to a very small extent in vivo but was able to methylate DNA in certain other tissues nearer the site of i.p. injection. These findings contrast with the general relatively extensive methylation of 0-6 of guanine in DNA of the target tissues and other organs by N-methyl-N-nitrosourea (MNUA). 相似文献

Germ-free (GF) and conventional (CV) C3H mice received a single injection of 1 μCi [3H]thymidine and 3 μCi [125I]iododeoxyuridine to provide simultaneous labeling of DNA with the two precursors. Thymus, spleen, mesenteric lymph nodes, bone marrow (femora), small intestine, colon and skin were examined for total organ activity and rate of DNA renewal 1–8 days after injection. Precursor incorporation, assayed on day 1, was lower in the thymus, mesenteric lymph nodes and femora (and, to a lesser extent, in the spleen and colon) of GF mice as compared to CV animals. The opposite was observed in the small intestine and skin, i.e. total organ activity was higher in GF animals. Differences in precursor incorporation were partly due to differences in organ weights between the two groups of mice. In comparison to CV animals, DNA renewal rates were diminished in the mesenteric lymph nodes, bone marrow, colon (following a 3-day plateau) and spleen of GF mice. Little, if any, difference was observed between the two groups with respect to the rate of DNA turnover in the thymus and skin. Radioactivity of the small intestine remained constant for 2 days. Thereafter intestinal activity in GF mice declined at an initial slow rate between days 2 and 5 followed by a rapid decrease between days 5 and 8. In CV mice the first phase of activity loss was short with the rapid decline in intestinal activity beginning on day 3. From the slopes of the regression lines, the percentage thymidine reutilization was estimated. Reutilization varied from 0 to 63% in the various organs examined, with the greatest difference between GF and CV mice occurring in the mesenteric lymph nodes. 相似文献

Light scatter is used in flow cytometry for identification of cells based on their size and/or granularity. However, forward light scatter is not an accurate measure of cell size. The measurement of Electronic Volume (EV) by Coulter principle is more accurate. However, EV cannot be measured on most of the commercially available flow cytometers. We have described the development and applications of a flow cytometer that can simultaneously measure Electronic Nuclear Volume (ENV) and DNA content. In the present study we have used a commercially available NPE QuantaTm for measuring EV and DNA content of different normal mice tissues.Fresh/frozen or formalin fixed-paraffin embedded tissues from mice were processed for isolation of nuclei, which were then analyzed for EV versus DNA content. By using these two parameters, distinct sub-populations were identified in liver, thymus, small intestine and bone marrow. Dual parametric analysis of EV versus DNA content can be a valuable technique for identification of sub-populations in heterogeneous cell mixtures such as those of complex tissues like bone marrow, intestine and tumors. The methods established are rapid and can provide valuable data for identification and characterization of sub-populations for cell cycle analysis by flow cytometry. 相似文献

Cortical thymocytes of young adult mice were labeled in situ with radioactive DNA precursors. As a result of cell emigration and cell death, total thymic radioactivity decreased within 8 days to 10% or less of that present on day 1. Accumulation of thymic migrants in peripheral lymphoid organs was estimated by computing the net thymus-derived radioactivity in these tissues. Thymic cell death was assessed by comparing values obtained with 125I-UdR to those acquired with 3H-TdR; The results indicate that cortical thymocytes migrate to the spleen, mesenteric lymph node, femurs and intestine; nevertheless, only a small fraction of the activity originally present in the thymus was recovered in these organs; the vast majority of newly formed cortical thymocytes apparently die after a relatively short life span. Exclusive of the fraction which dies in situ, evidence for thymocyte death is seen in bone marrow; however, most migrants appear to terminate in the intestine. 相似文献

This paper presents the results of the development of lymphatic and haemopoietic organs in pig fetuses of various ages. The thymus appears to be the first lymphatic organ in these fetuses as well as in other animal species so far studied. On the 77th day the thymus is fully morphologically developed. The accumulations of lymphocytes in the spleen appear on the 70th day. The development of periarteriolar formations takes place around the 84th day of gestation. Further development of lymphoid tissue in the lymph nodes, tongue (tonsilla lingualis) and intenstine is described. Lymphatic follicles were observed both in the tongue and the small intestine on the 77th day. The dynamics of haemopoietic activity in the liver and bone marrow is characterized. The germinal centers in lymphoid folicles were never observed as well as cells of the plasmatic series. 相似文献

The effect of cyclophosphamide on the organ weight, DNA and basic protein content in nuclei of bone marrow, thymus and spleen of rats was studied. Animals were examined 6, 12 and 24 hours and 3, 5, 10, 20 and 30 days after intraperitoneal application of cyclophosphamide in the doses of 100 and 200 mg X kg-1 of body weight. From the 5th day after application a marked decrease in weight and cellularity of all organs was observed. Amounts of DNA and basic proteins in nuclei of bone marrow and spleen were higher as compared with controls and their increase occurred prior to recovery of cellularity and organ weight, that was initiated within 5 and 10 days after cyclophosphamide treatment. Changes in the thymus persisted for a longer period of time and recovery was incomplete even at the day 30 after cyclophosphamide application. In accordance with these data no increase in DNA and basic protein amounts in the thymus nuclei was observed. 相似文献

A role for CCR9 in T lymphocyte development and migration 总被引:14,自引:0,他引:14

CCR9 mediates chemotaxis in response to CCL25/thymus-expressed chemokine and is selectively expressed on T cells in the thymus and small intestine. To investigate the role of CCR9 in T cell development, the CCR9 gene was disrupted by homologous recombination. B cell development, thymic alphabeta-T cell development, and thymocyte selection appeared unimpaired in adult CCR9-deficient (CCR9(-/-)) mice. However, competitive transplantation experiments revealed that bone marrow from CCR9(-/-) mice was less efficient at repopulating the thymus of lethally irradiated Rag-1(-/-) mice than bone marrow from littermate CCR9(+/+) mice. CCR9(-/-) mice had increased numbers of peripheral gammadelta-T cells but reduced numbers of gammadeltaTCR(+) and CD8alphabeta(+)alphabetaTCR(+) intraepithelial lymphocytes in the small intestine. Thus, CCR9 plays an important, although not indispensable, role in regulating the development and/or migration of both alphabeta(-) and gammadelta(-) T lymphocytes. 相似文献

Proliferating cell nuclear antigen (PCNA) and PCNA-dependent DNA polymerase delta were partially purified and characterized from rabbit bone marrow. Rabbit DNA polymerase delta sediments at 8.2 S upon glycerol density gradient centrifugation. Similar to calf thymus PCNA-dependent DNA polymerase delta, a 125-123-kDa doublet and 48-kDa polypeptides correlate with DNA polymerase activity. Western blotting of rabbit DNA polymerase delta with polyclonal antibody to calf thymus PCNA-dependent DNA polymerase delta gives the same results as calf thymus delta; the 125-123-kDa doublet is recognized. PCNA-dependent DNA polymerase delta is resistant to inhibition by dideoxynucleotides and is relatively insensitive to inhibition by N2-[p-(n-butyl)phenyl]dGTP. A 3'-->5' exonuclease copurifies with the DNA polymerase. The processivity of DNA polymerase delta alone is very low but greatly increases with the addition of PCNA from rabbit bone marrow or calf thymus. Comparative studies of the original DNA polymerase delta from rabbit bone marrow demonstrate a lack of recognition by antibodies to calf thymus delta and a high degree of processivity in the absence of PCNA. Additionally, the originally described DNA polymerase delta is a single polypeptide of 122 kDa. These features would recategorize the original delta to the epsilon category by recently proposed convention. PCNA-dependent DNA polymerase delta is a relatively minor component of rabbit bone marrow compared to DNA polymerase alpha and PCNA-independent DNA polymerase delta (epsilon), the relative proportions being alpha, 60%; delta, 7%; and epsilon, 30%. 相似文献

To examine the concept that the genesis of lymphocytes in the bone marrow may be regulated by homeostatic feedback signals from peripheral B lymphocytes or their products, lymphocyte production was measured in mice selectively depleted of B lymphocytes by repeated administration of anti-IgM antibodies from birth. The turnover of small lymphocytes was quantitated radioautographically after DNA labeling by continuous infusion of 3H-thymidine. In the femoral marrow of anti-IgM-treated mice, the number of small lymphocytes was reduced and their turnover time was shorter than in control mice, presumably reflecting the premature elimination from the marrow of maturing cells about to express surface IgM. The absolute number of small lymphocytes being produced per femur in unit time, however, was identical in anti-IgM-treated and control mice. Lymphocyte production in the thymus was also unaffected by anti-IgM suppression whereas in the spleen the turnover of small lymphocytes was reduced due to the lack of young immigrant B lymphocytes from the bone marrow. The results demonstrate that the normal large-scale production of lymphocytes in mouse bone marrow is independent of the magnitude of the peripheral pool of B lymphocytes or the level of circulating immunoglobulins, suggesting the process is not subject to feedback control. Some implications for the genesis and diversity of primary B lymphocytes are discussed. 相似文献

In young pigs, the spleen, thymus and all lymph nodes were dissected out and weighed. The relative content of lymphoid cells was determined from histological sections. The number of nucleated cells was evaluated by two different methods: firstly, by measuring the DNA content of samples of lymphoid tissue and dividing by the DNA content of a single nucleus; and, secondly, by counting all lymphoid cells in histological sections of defined volumes of these organs. The number of lymphoid cells in tonsils, gut, bone marrow and lung were determined using histological evaluations and the volumes or weights of these organs. The resulting average number of lymphocytes was 321 times 10 (9) for a pig of 26 kg body weight. The lymphocytes showed the following distribution in lymphoid and non-lymphoid organs: thymus 44%, spleen 9%, mesenteric lymph nodes 17%, cervical lymph nodes 9%, other peripheral lymph nodes 3%, gut-associated lymphocytes 5%, tonsils 2%, bone marrow 5%, blood 3%, lung 0.2% and an estimated figure of 3% for all other tissues. 相似文献

Abstract We have applied the technique of labelling dividing cells with bromodeoxyuridine (BrdUrd) in combination with in vivo continuous labelling, propidium iodide (PI) staining for DNA content, and flow cytometric analysis, for the determination of cell proliferation in bone marrow, thymus and spleen of mice. The percentage of BrdUrd labelled cells increased as a function of exposure time in a tissue specific manner for each of the three tissues. Thymus and bone marrow had cell populations which exhibited different kinetics for the accumulation of label: (1) those that cycled and became labelled within 2–3 days (88% in 2 days for bone marrow, 84% in 3 days for thymus); (2) those that cycled during the remainder of the 6 day infusion period (11% of bone marrow and 13% of thymus cells); and (3) those that did not cycle during the 6 day period studied (<2% of bone marrow and 3% of thymus cells). In contrast, the spleen exhibited a slower, constant accumulation of labelled cells. After six days of infusion a large proportion of spleen cells (50%) had not become labelled. These results suggest that a larger proportion of spleen cells are long lived than indicated by other methods. We also have found that the period of labelling with BrdUrd extended several days beyond the period of infusion. This method will be very useful in studying perturbations of cell populations induced in mice exposed to toxic agents. 相似文献

The influence of exogenous DNA on the content of endogenous DNA and the rate of biosynthesis was studied in rat bone marrow. After the injection of highly-polymerized homologous DNA to intact rats the content of rat DNA per 1 gm of the bone marrow decreased within the first 3 days (the most marked fall occurred in 3 days--by 36%), and returned to the normal by the 6th day. The rate of DNA biosynthesis in rat bone marrow increased in 18 hours (doublled in comparison with control), remained elevated within 6 days (by 58%) and approached the normal level from 1 to 3 days after the DNA injection. 相似文献
