Morphine administration (20 mg/kg) to awake rhesus monkeys which had been chronically implanted with catheters for aspiration of cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) produced a significant elevation in the CSF level of guanosine-3′, 5′-cyclic monophosphate (cGMP). Additionally, biopsies of cerebral and cerebellar cortex were taken from anesthetized monkeys given 20 mg/kg of morphine sulfate. Only cerebellar cGMP levels changed significantly, showing a 35% decrease relative to anesthetized controls. Although the controlling factors of brain tissue and CSF cGMP levels are poorly understood, the possibility of a reciprocal relationship between cGMP levels in certain brain regions and in CSF under some conditions is discussed.  相似文献

Tapeworms alter the physiological environment of the host's small intestinal lumen by contracting the intestinal smooth muscle, thereby slowing the transit of intestinal contents. We hypothesize that parasite-to-host molecular signaling is responsible for the specific patterns of small intestinal smooth muscle contraction observed both during tapeworm infection and after the infusion of tapeworm-secreted molecules into the intestinal lumen of unanesthetized rats. Of the tapeworm-secreted compounds tested, only lumenal infusion of guanosine 3',5'-cyclic monophosphate (cGMP) induced contractile patterns that mimic those observed during tapeworm infection. The response to cGMP occurred in a concentration-dependent fashion. Our study clearly demonstrates that cGMP can serve as an extracellular signal molecule regulating small intestinal motility mechanisms in vivo.  相似文献

The effect of 2'-O-dibutyryl cytidene 3',5'-cyclic monophosphate (dibutyryl cCMP) on the nucleotide profile of mouse liver was examined. Dibutyryl cCMP caused an increase in the amount of CTP in mouse liver. Perchloric acid extracts of liver tissue were neutralized with tri-N-octylamine in trichlorotriflouroethene and, after removal of CLO(4-), subjected to preliminary purification on a Cu2+-loaded column of Chelex 100. A high-pressure liquid chromatographic anion-exchange procedure was used and gave good resolution of the free nucleotides on a single column.  相似文献

Within 1 h after topical application of a convulsive dose (4 mug per fly, 47 mg/kg) of p,p'-dichlorodiphenyltrichloroethane (DDT) to the adult male of Sarcophaga bullata Parker, guanosine 3',5'-cyclic monophosphate (cyclic GMP) levels rose by 71.5% (P less than 0.05) in the head, 159.5% (P less than 0.01) in the thorax, and 23.4% (P greater than 0.05) in the abdomen compared to controls. Adenosine 3',5'-cyclic monophosphate (cyclic AMP) levels were not significantly affected by the DDT treatment. A convulsive dose (100 mug per larva, 250 mg/kg) of DDT applied to larvae of Mamestra configurata Wlk. caused the whole body level of cyclic GMP to rise by 81.6% (P less than 0.01) after 1 h, and by 95.9% (P less than 0.01) after 3 h. Levels of cyclic AMP were not affected. A hypothesis is advanced suggesting that an abnormally high rate of discharge of acetylcholine (and in the later stages of poisoning, its actual accumulation) at central cholinergic synapses causes cyclic GMP levels to rise, perhaps in post-synaptic cells. The elevated cyclic GMP-cyclic AMP ratio found in DDT-poisoned insects may be of fundamental importance in the complex sequence of events leading to tremor, hyperexcitability, paralysis, and death.  相似文献

The signaling pathway of nitric oxide (NO) depends mainly on guanosine 3',5'-cyclic monophosphate (cGMP). Here we report the formation and chemical biology of a nitrated derivative of cGMP, 8-nitroguanosine 3',5'-cyclic monophosphate (8-nitro-cGMP), in NO-mediated signal transduction. Immunocytochemistry demonstrated marked 8-nitro-cGMP production in various cultured cells in an NO-dependent manner. This finding was confirmed by HPLC plus electrochemical detection and tandem mass spectrometry. 8-Nitro-cGMP activated cGMP-dependent protein kinase and showed unique redox-active properties independent of cGMP activity. Formation of protein Cys-cGMP adducts by 8-nitro-cGMP was identified as a new post-translational modification, which we call protein S-guanylation. 8-Nitro-cGMP seems to regulate the redox-sensor signaling protein Keap1, via S-guanylation of the highly nucleophilic cysteine sulfhydryls of Keap1. This study reveals 8-nitro-cGMP to be a second messenger of NO and sheds light on new areas of the physiology and chemical biology of signal transduction by NO.  相似文献

Parallel lines of evidence have suggested that light initiates changes in both cGMP metabolism and calcium levels in rod outer segments (ROS). We report that cGMP stimulates release of a pool of Ca2+ actively accumulated within purified ROS disks. Disks were purified and actively loaded with 45Ca2+ by an associated ATP-dependent calcium uptake activity as previously described [Puckett, K.L., Aronson, E.T., & Goldin, S.M. (1985) Biochemistry 24, 390-400]. Spikes of 45Ca2+ released from disks were observed in a rapid superfusion system. The Ca2+ release was specifically stimulated by physiological levels of cGMP (Kapp approximately 20 microM; Hill coefficient = 1.7). 8-Bromo-cGMP could also activate the release mechanism, but cAMP was ineffective. At cGMP levels of greater than or equal to 100 microM, approximately 20% of the loaded Ca2+ was released. The Ca2+ release rate at saturating cGMP levels reached a maximum within the 10-s time resolution of the assay system. In contrast to other recent reports of cGMP activation of ROS ion conductances, the majority of the release activity terminated in a spontaneous manner, suggestive of an intrinsic inactivation process. The amount of Ca2+ released and the release kinetics were similar to the presence or absence of an unbleached pool of rhodopsin. Cyclic nucleotides did not stimulate release from disks passively equilibrated with 45Ca2+, i.e., in the absence of ATP but otherwise under identical conditions. Preincubation of the disks with cGMP also reduced the level of ATP-dependent Ca2+ uptake (approximately 30%); this apparent inhibition may be due to activation of the release mechanism, rather than direct modulation of the uptake activity.(ABSTRACT TRUNCATED AT 250 WORDS)  相似文献

Adenosine 3',5'-cyclic monophosphate (cAMP) acts to inhibit a number of lymphocyte activities. The extent of this inhibition was tested by evaluating the effects of two cAMP-raising agents on B cell S phase entry induced by several different mitogenic regimens. It was found that both dibutyryl cAMP (dbcAMP) and isobutylmethylxanthine (IBMX) enhanced S phase entry induced by some regimens but inhibited S phase entry induced by others. The observed enhancing activity stands in contrast to the general notion of cAMP as being a "negative regulator," and it confirms that the observed inhibiting activity does not simply reflect cytotoxicity. Mitogenic regimens that appear to mimic each other, such as F(ab')2 fragments of goat anti-mouse immunoglobulin and the combination of a calcium ionophore and a phorbol ester, were distinguished by their responses to the addition of the two cAMP-raising agents. B cell responses were enhanced or inhibited even when dbcAMP was added 18-24 hr after the establishment of cultures. Cyclic AMP may regulate in a complex fashion S phase entry in cells of the immune system.  相似文献

Adenosine 3',5'-cyclic monophosphate phosphodiesterase (EC 3.1.4.17) has been investigated in rat liver as to its insulin sensitivity. Hormone action has been assayed in vitro on a liver homogenate purified by DEAE-cellulose column chromatography, on isolated hepatocytes, on isolated plasma membranes. The DEAE-cellulose chromatography purified homogenate showed no sensitivity to insulin, whereas isolated hepatocytes incubated in presence of insulin showed increased phosphodiesterase activity in a plasma membrane-containing fraction. The plasma membrane-bound enzyme, which shows both high and low affinity components, was significantly stimulated after hormonal treatment; this effect being dependent on a V increase of the low Km form.  相似文献

The filarial parasites Litomosoides carinii and Dipetalonema viteae both show transcuticular uptake of adenosine 3',5'-cyclic monophosphate but isoproterenol is taken up by D. viteae only. The importance of this difference is discussed from the point of view of metabolic regulation. Inhibition of uptake by lectins indicates the involvement of surface sugar moieties in the transport processes.  相似文献

A specific cGMP receptor protein has been identified and separated from the cAMP receptor protein by chromatography on 8-(6-aminohexyl)-amino-cAMP-Sepharose. Scatchard analysis of cGMP binding indicates a single affinity class of receptor sites with KD = 1.4 × 10?8 M. The specificity of the cGMP receptor site has been defined by using a number of nucleotides as competitors for cGMP binding. The cGMP receptor protein sediments at 7S in glycerol density gradients.  相似文献

The voltammetric oxidation of adenosine-3',5'-cyclic monophosphate (3',5'-CAMP) has been studied in the pH range 2.13-10.07 using pyrolytic graphite electrode (PGE). Voltammetric, coulometric, spectral studies, and product characterization indicate that the oxidation of 3',5'-CAMP occurs in an EC reaction involving a 6H+, 6e process at pH 7.24. Electrooxidized products were seperated by semipreparative high performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) and were characterized by mp, 1HNMR, FTIR, and GC-mass as allantoin cyclic ribose monophosphate and 3 dimers as the major products. A detailed interpretation of the redox mechanism of 3',5'-CAMP also has been presented to account for the formation of various products.  相似文献
