The ontogenic evolution of chicken red cell Fc receptor was studied in red cells from different age chicken embryos, baby chicken, and adult chicken. The Fc receptor binding capacity for ligands, the number of Fc receptors by red cell, and the association constant between receptor and ligand were analyzed. The Fc receptor is expressed in the red cell surface of 6-day chicken embryo and its binding capacity for ligand—minimal at this moment—is increased in the 8-day chicken embryo red cells. The 12-day chicken embryo erythrocytes binding capacity is similar to the adult chicken red cells. The number of Fc receptors by red cell increase with the age of chicken embryo. After 9 days this number is not modified and it is the same as in adult chicken. Variations of Ko and binding capacity for ligands show a similar evolution in embryogenic development. From these data we suggest that although on Day 9 the number of receptors per cell is the same as in adult chicken, the receptors are not completely exposed at this time and as a consequence, their binding capacity for ligands is lower than in adult chicken erythrocytes. 相似文献

GABA(B) receptors are heterodimers coupled to G-proteins. The present study was undertaken to investigate activation of GABA(B) receptors in cerebral cortex and spinal cord using [35S]GTPgammaS binding assays, a direct measure of G-protein activity. The results revealed that the GABA(B) agonist baclofen stimulates GTPgammaS binding in cerebral cortex, with an ED50 of 50microM. This response is blocked by the GABA(B) receptor antagonist CGP 55845A (100nM). In contrast, baclofen-stimulated GTPgammaS binding was not observed in adult spinal cord tissue under similar incubation conditions, or after varying magnesium, calcium, GDP, [35S]GTPgammaS, or membrane concentrations in the assay medium. Stimulation of adult rat spinal cord muscarinic receptors did result in a concentration-related increase in [35S]GTPgammaS binding. Baclofen-stimulated GTPgammaS binding in adult spinal cord did not appear after peripheral inflammation, despite significant increases in GABA(B) subunit mRNA levels. As opposed to adult, appreciable GTPgammaS binding was observed in membranes prepared from spinal cords of rats within the first 14 days of postnatal development, suggesting that GABA(B) receptor function in the rat spinal cord is developmentally regulated. The results indicate that GABA(B) receptors may not be coupled to G-proteins in the adult rat spinal cord, or couple in a way that differs from that in newborns or adult cerebral cortex. 相似文献

The developmental profiles for the cholinergic enzymes acetylcholinesterase and choline acetyltransferase, and the muscarinic and nicotinic receptors were determined in whole mouse brain. The enzyme activities (per milligram of protein) increased steadily from birth, reaching adult levels at 20 days of age. These increases were primarily due to increases in Vmax. Muscarinic receptor numbers, measured by [3H]quinuclidinyl benzilate binding, also increased from birth to 25 days of age. Brain nicotinic receptors were measured with the ligands L-[3H]nicotine and alpha-[125I]-bungarotoxin. Neonatal mouse brain had approximately twice the number of alpha-bungarotoxin binding sites found in adult mouse brain. Binding site numbers rose slightly until 10 days of age, after which they decreased to adult values, which were reached at 25 days of age. The nicotine binding site was found in neonatal brain at concentrations comparable to those at the alpha-bungarotoxin site followed by a steady decline in nicotine binding until adult values were reached. Thus, brain nicotinic and muscarinic systems develop in totally different fashions; the quantity of muscarinic receptors increases with age, while the quantity of nicotinic receptors decreases. It is conceivable that nicotinic receptors play an important role in directing the development of the cholinergic system. 相似文献

The present study was designed to determine if Golgi fractions from fetal rat liver contain glucagon receptors and to characterize the properties of such receptors. Purification patterns of liver plasma membranes and Golgi fractions from fetal and adult rats were similar, as verified by morphological and biochemical approaches. Glucagon binding was greater in plasma membranes of adult than fetal rats, while in Golgi fractions glucagon binding was similar in both groups. The modifications in in glucagon binding reflect changes in glucagon receptors. Glucagon association and glucagon receptor inactivation by liver membranes were similar in the two groups of animals, while glucagon degradation was lower in fetal than in adult rats. 相似文献

Increased dithiothreitol-insensitive,type 2 angiotensin II receptors in selected brain areas of young rats 总被引:3,自引:0,他引:3
1. Angiotensin II receptors have been studied by quantitative autoradiography in selected brain areas of young (2-week-old) and adult (8-week-old) rats. 2. In young rats, angiotensin II receptors were present in brain areas which did not express receptors in the adult brain, such as thalamic nuclei, cortical areas, and the cerebellum. 3. Young rats had more angiotensin II receptors in the subfornical organ than adult rats. In the inferior olive, the number of angiotensin receptors in young animals was 10 times higher than that in adult rats. Angiotensin II binding in the inferior olive was insensitive to incubation in the presence of dithiothreitol. 4. Conversely, the number of angiotensin II receptors in the nucleus of the solitary tract was lower in young rats compared to adults. Incubation in the presence of dithiothreitol resulted in a more than 90% inhibition of angiotensin II binding in the nucleus of the solitary tract. 5. Our results indicate the presence of two types of angiotensin II receptor in brain, one sensitive (type 1) and one insensitive (type 2) to the reducing agent dithiothreitol. 6. The expression of type 2 angiotensin II receptors, insensitive to dithiothreitol, is more marked in young rats, indicating a role for this type of angiotensin receptors in brain development. 相似文献

Adult and embryonic nicotinic receptors expressed in COS cells have similar affinities for acetylcholine but differ in their Hill coefficient. Parameters of wild-type receptors were compared with those of receptors with mutated delta and gamma subunits in selected negatively charged amino acids, which were expected to participate in agonist binding. A tentative scheme of affinities, allosteric interactions and channel gating efficacy was used for assessing the role of mutated amino acids in the channel function. In three models, the parameters of wild-type embryonic and adult receptors were compared with those of receptors with mutated delta and gamma subunits. The analysis of different models of channel activation indicates that negatively charged amino acids which were mutated in the delta subunit in embryonic receptors participate in channel gating and in allosteric interactions between subunits rather than directly in agonist binding. Changes in the gamma subunit in the embryonic receptors and delta subunit in the adult receptors could equally affect agonist binding, allosteric coupling between subunits or channel gating. 相似文献

Outside-out patches of enzymatically dissociated adult and denervated mouse muscle fibers were superfused repetitively by pulses of acetylcholine (ACh) containing solution. Up to 300 channels opened simultaneously 300 microseconds after the beginning of a 1,000 microM ACh pulse corresponding to a peak current i of almost -1 nA. Single responses to ACh were averaged and the concentration dependence of i and of the rise time tr from 0.1 i to 0.9 i was measured. In adult receptors, i increased proportional to the second to third power of ACh concentration, whereas in embryonic-type receptors it was proportional to the first to the second power. tr increased from approximately 0.3 ms at 1,000 microM ACh to a plateau value of approximately 5 ms for adult and of approximately 10 ms for embryoniclike receptors at concentrations less than 10 microM ACh. The concentration dependence of i and tr was simulated using the standard model of ACh binding with different combinations of rate constants and two and three binding sites for ACh. The calculated curves were compared to the measurements and a set of well fitting rate constants was determined for adult and embryoniclike receptors. Three binding sites for ACh were necessary to fit the dose response for i for adult receptors. A method for deriving rate constants in a model of ACh-receptor interaction is described that avoids analysis of open-closed kinetics of single channels, which in rapid systems, as the ones studied here, are at the limit of the frequency response of the current measurement. 相似文献

Mammalian brain expresses receptors which bind the potent neurotoxins, kainate and domoate, with high affinity, and which form a subclass of ionotropic glutamate receptors. A new member of these receptors, expressed in both adult and embryonic CNS is compared in its ligand binding properties to its closely sequence-related homologs. 相似文献

The developmental profile of opioid receptors was studied in rat and guinea pig striatum and hippocampus. The two brain regions show different receptor profiles during development, which are characteristic for each animal. Yet, both tissues and animal species share one common feature; the binding of the universal opioid ligand [3H]diprenorphine per milligram of protein is high at the early embryonic period, it decreases toward birth, and then gradually increases to the adult levels. This apparent transient expression of the receptors during the early developmental stage was manifested in the guinea pig as an actual decrease in the total receptor number. As an attempt to characterize the receptors involved in this process, the binding of the selective mu-opioid ligand [3H]Tyr-D-Ala-Gly-MePhe-NH(CH2)OH [( 3H]DAGO) was studied in striatal membranes of young (P1) and adult (P60) rats. Competition between [3H]DAGO and the delta-selective peptide Tyr-D-Pen-Gly-Phe-D-Pen (DPDPE) shows higher affinity of the delta opioid to P1 membranes than to P60 membranes, though the number of delta receptors in P1 membranes is very small. This observation is in line with a previous study suggesting that opioid receptors in embryonic striatum and hippocampus are less selective to various opioids than those of adult brain. An additional difference between adult and embryonic tissue was observed on Scatchard analysis of [3H]DAGO binding; striatum P60 membranes exhibit one binding site with a KD of 0.8 +/- 0.1 nM and Hill coefficient of 0.96, whereas striatum P1 membranes bind the peptide in an apparent cooperative fashion with an overall Hill coefficient of 1.30.(ABSTRACT TRUNCATED AT 250 WORDS) 相似文献

Specific receptors for glucocorticoids are present in liver cytosols of rat fetuses at least as early as the 18th day of gestation. The concentration of the receptor begins to decline after the 20th day reaching undetectable levels shortly before and after parturition. The receptor can be detected again 1 to 2 hours after birth, and its levels increase markedly to higher than adult values between the 2nd and 5th day. The reason for the failure to detect specific hormone binding near parturition appears to be due to occupation of binding sites by endogenous steroids rather than the absence of the receptor. This is indicated by the demonstration of both cytoplasmic and nuclear receptor sites in liver slices of newborn rats incubated with labeled dexamethasone at 37 degrees. The cytoplasmic receptors of fetal and adult liver differ in their relative affinity for cortisol and corticosterone. The fetal receptors have a higher affinity for corticosterone than cortisol while the reverse is true for the adult receptors. These observations suggest either the existence of dissimilar receptors in fetal and adult liver or the presence of more than one type of receptor sites. It is therefore possible that subtle differences in the nature of hepatic receptors may be partly responsible for the maturation-dependent qualitative differences in tissue responsiveness to glucocorticoids. 相似文献

The properties of adult mouse recombinant nicotinic acetylcholine receptors activated by acetylcholine (ACh+) or tetramethylammonium (TMA+) were examined at the single-channel level. The midpoint of the dose-response curve depended on the type of monovalent cation present in the extracellular solution. The shifts in the midpoint were apparent with both inward and outward currents, suggesting that the salient interaction is with the extracellular domain of the receptor. Kinetic modeling was used to estimate the rate constants for agonist binding and channel gating in both wild-type and mutant receptors exposed to Na+, K+, or Cs+. The results indicate that in adult receptors, the two binding sites have the same equilibrium dissociation constant for agonists. The agonist association rate constant was influenced by the ionic composition of the extracellular solution whereas the rate constants for agonist dissociation, channel opening, and channel closing were not. In low-ionic-strength solutions the apparent association rate constant increased in a manner that suggests that inorganic cations are competitive inhibitors of ACh+ binding. There was no evidence of an electrostatic potential at the transmitter binding site. The equilibrium dissociation constants for inorganic ions (Na+, 151 mM; K+, 92 mM; Cs+, 38 mM) and agonists (TMA+, 0.5 mM) indicate that the transmitter binding site is hydrophobic. Under physiological conditions, about half of the binding sites in resting receptors are occupied by Na+. 相似文献

The expression of alpha 1-adrenergic receptors within ventricular myocardium of rats ranging in age from 21 days of fetal life to 24 months after birth was measured from [125I] 2-(beta hydroxy phenyl) ethylaminomethyl tetralone binding isotherms. No difference was observed in binding affinity between any of the age groups studied. The number of alpha 1-adrenergic receptors was found to be 60-120% higher in membranes from fetal or immature rats up to 25 days of age when compared with adult animals. The increased expression of alpha 1-adrenergic receptors in the developing heart relative to that observed in adult heart is consistent with the hypothesis that alpha 1-adrenergic receptor stimulation may modulate protein synthesis and growth in mammalian myocardium. 相似文献

In the present study we have examined the developmental changes in the concentration of receptors for calcitriol in high-salt cytosol from the rat testis. Receptors for calcitriol were undetectable (less than 0.4 fmol/mg protein) until day 24, after which there was a rapid increase to reach adult levels (6-8 fmol/mg protein) between day 50-60. The lack of receptors in high-salt cytosol from the immature rat testis is not due to degrading enzymes, since cytosols prepared from the combination of equal volumes of testis homogenates from immature and adult rats had binding levels exactly half of that found in "adult controls". Furthermore, the increase in specific binding of [3H]calcitriol during development is due to an increase in the number of receptor sites, and is not due to a change in the apparent affinity of the receptors (Kd approximately equal to 1 X 10(-11) M at 0 degrees C). These results may explain why we previously were unable to demonstrate calcitriol receptors in cultured Sertoli cells and peritubular cells isolated from 19-day old rats. Furthermore, they indicate that calcitriol may be of minor importance for testicular function in the immature rat. The role of calcitriol in the pubertal and adult testis remains to be established. 相似文献

To determine the effect of insulin on its receptor concentrations in hepatocytes of fetal and adult rats, these cells were preincubated in the presence or absence of insulin. The reduced [125I]-insulin binding observed in adult hepatocytes was dependent on the concentration of insulin and on the duration of exposure, while in fetal hepatocytes insulin did not induce any reduction in insulin binding. In contrast, glucagon receptors were unaffected by preincubation with insulin. The modifications observed in insulin binding were accounted for by changes in receptor concentrations rather than any change in receptor affinity for the hormone. Studies on the kinetic properties of the insulin receptors of fetuses and adult rats revealed that association and dissociation rates were undistinguishable. These results indicate an absence of insulin receptor down-regulation in the fetus, which could favour anabolic processes during intrauterine life. 相似文献

Some effects of aging processes on the neurochemical features of central transmitter-identified neuronal populations have been investigated by means of immunocytochemistry and receptor autoradiographic techniques coupled with image analysis. A selective decrease of tyrosine hydroxylase immunoreactivity in the ventrolateral region of the arcuate nucleus in aged rats was observed. The level and turnover (recovery after irreversible blockade of monoamine receptors with the peptide coupling agent N-ethoxycarbonyl-2-ethoxy-1,2-dihydroquinoline) of 2-adrenergic ([3H]paraaminoclonidine binding) and D2 dopamine ([3H]spiperone binding) receptors were reduced in most regions of the rat brain. Peptide receptors showed a more complex pattern of change, since while μ opiate receptors (preferentially labeled with [3H]etorphine binding) were reduced in the old animals, δ opiate ([3H]DSTLenkephalin binding) receptors were affected only in certain areas. The effect of irreversible blockade of monoamine receptors on μ and δ opiate receptors was also studied in young adult and aged rats. A δ but not μ opiate receptor up-regulation was observed after monoamine receptor blockade in the young adult animals. This effect was greatly reduced in the n. caudatus-putamen, n. accumbens and tuberculum olfactorium of the old animals. 相似文献

Changes in the levels of binding of 3H-SCH-23390, a vertebrate D1 dopamine receptor ligand, and 3H-spiperone, a vertebrate D2 dopamine receptor ligand were investigated in the brain of the worker honey bee during metamorphic
adult development and during the lifetime of the adult bee. Age-related fluctuations in binding levels were markedly different
for these two ligands. 3H-SCH-23390 and 3H-spiperone binding sites were present at low levels during metamorphic adult development. After adult emergence, however,
3H-SCH-23390 binding levels, in contrast to those of 3H-spiperone, increased significantly. Within the first 48 h of adult life 3H-SCH-23390 binding reached a level not significantly different from that detected in forager bees. No significant fluctuations
in the levels of 3H-spiperone binding were observed during the adult lifetime of the bee. Measurements of dopamine levels in the brains of pupal
and adult bees revealed no direct correlation between fluctuations in endogenous amine levels and the amount of binding of
either 3H-SCH-23390 or 3H-spiperone. These results provide evidence for subtype-specific patterns of expression of dopamine receptors in the insect
brain and show that D1- and D2-like receptors are expressed not only in the adult CNS, but also in the developing brain of
the bee.

We characterised IGFI and IGFII receptors and located them in bovine muscle during foetal growth. Semitendinosus muscle samples were taken from foetuses ranging from 80 to 270 days post-conception. The relative affinities of 125I-IGFII and 125I-IGFI mark the presence of typical type II and type I receptors in foetal muscle membranes. IGFII-specific binding is consistently five times greater than that of IGFI. The patterns of 125I-IGFII- and 125I-IGFI-specific binding are similar. They increase up to 110 and 170 days post-conception, respectively (P < 0.05); thereafter, they decrease (P < 0.05). This decrease was due to a fall in the number of receptors without any change in affinity. At the adult stage the specific binding of both the 125I-IGF is very low. In foetal muscle, type II receptors are located both in the muscle bundles and in the connective tissue while type I receptors are only located in the muscle bundles. 相似文献

The properties of hCG binding to LH receptors of the neonatal (5-day-old) rat testis were analysed and compared with those of the adult testis. The equilibrium association constants (Ka) of hCG-binding were similar at both ages, 2-4 X 10(10) M-1. In contrast, kinetic binding studies revealed that the association and dissociation rate constants of hCG binding were more rapid in the neonatal testis. Likewise, it was observed that the progression from loose (easily dissociable) to tight (non-dissociable) binding was less complete in the young than in the adult testis. Autoradiography of 125I-labelled hCG binding to interstitial cell suspensions at the two ages showed that the gonadotrophin binding per Leydig cell was about 50% lower in the neonatal testis. Conversely, since the surface area of adult Leydig cells was about 4-fold larger, the receptor density appeared to be higher in the neonatal Leydig cells. The rapid recovery of LH receptors after hCG stimulation, typical of the neonatal cells, was due to rapid replenishment of binding in the cells initially occupied by the injected hormone, rather than to an hCG-induced increase of Leydig cell number. Finally, in-vivo experiments with cycloheximide revealed that the rapid recovery of LH receptors was dependent on protein synthesis. These differences in the kinetics of neonatal testicular LH receptor turnover may be involved in the unique functional features of the fetal-neonatal growth phase of rat testicular Leydig cells. 相似文献

This study reports the specificity, kinetics and thermodynamics of the binding of tritiated testosterone to specific receptors in the cytosol of the hypothalamic-preoptic area of the adult male mouse brain. Values for the kinetic is parametrs KA, KD, ka, kd and the apparent free energy (delta GOoc) are reported. The specificity of these receptors was investigated by LH-20 chromatography and sucrose-gradient centrifugation. Differences inreceptor specificity between the mouse and that reported for the rat are described. The effects of the antiandrogens, cyproterone acetate and BOMT, and the anti-estrogens MER-25 and clomiphene citrate on the binding of tritiated testosterone to specific 8S receptors are also reported. The effect of these steroid receptor antagonists on testosterone binding is discussed in relation to the current theory on the mechanism by which androgens influence brain function. 相似文献

We delineated the ontogeny of the brain insulin binding, insulin receptor number and affinity using plasma membranes isolated from the rabbit. Specific 125I-insulin binding and receptor number expressed per milligram of protein increased from the 20 day gestation fetus to the 1-day-old newborn, declining thereafter to attain adult values by day 6 of postnatal life. Specific 125I-insulin binding and the receptor number in the adult brain was less than the fetal and neonatal (1 day) brain receptors. Although a similar trend was observed specifically during fetal development, the changes in receptor number expressed per microgram DNA were not significant in the neonatal period. The adult brain insulin receptor number was higher than the 20- to 27-day fetus and similar to that of the 30-day fetus and the 1- to 5-day newborns. The total receptor number correlated linearly with the brain plasma membrane protein increment velocity. The affinity of the receptors increased during early fetal development (20-27 days) and remained constant thereafter in the postnatal period. We conclude that the ontogenic changes of the brain insulin receptors are similar to the ontogenic changes of brain plasma membrane protein. The developmental changes are more pronounced when the receptor number is expressed per milligram protein versus microgram DNA. 相似文献
