As part of the international program on the ecology of influenza virus in animals sponsored by W.H.O., 357 influenza A viruses isolated from 2 293 cloacal samples collected from ducks and other bird species in Eastern Canada during the 1978 season were characterized antigenically. Seven hemagglutinin (Hsw 1, H2, H3, Hav2, Hav4, Hav6, Hav7) and six neuraminidase subtypes (N1, N2, Neq2, Nav1, Nav5, Nav6) in 18 different combinations were found. A comparison with viruses isolated during previous seasons indicates that subtypes do change from year-to-year and from place-to-place. Isolation of few viruses from passerine birds requires additional studies to determine if these species are truly infected with influenza virus in nature. This large reservoir of influenza A viruses circulating at the same time in ducks may well be involved in the appearance of new viruses in other species, including humans. 相似文献

A hemagglutinating agent was isolated from the respiratory organs of budgerigars suffering from diarrhea and malnutrition. This agent, possessing neuraminidase activity, was identified as influenza A virus by the double immunodiffusion test. The results of hemagglutination and neuraminidase-inhibition tests with monospecific antisera to the isolated surface antigens showed that the isolates possessed Hav4 hemagglutinin and Nav1 neuraminidase subunits both of which were closely related to the corresponding antigens of A/duck/Czech/56 (Hav4 Nav1). 相似文献

Using M-TUR, a macrophage-adapted avian influenza A virus (Hav1, Nav3), antiviral resistance of peritoneal macrophages obtained from specifically or nonspecifically immunized mice towards in vitro infection was assessed. M-TUR grew to high titers in macrophages from nonimmune mice thereby causing a marked cytopathic effect. In contrast, peritoneal macrophages from mice specifically immunized with TUR virus were not affected by infection with M-TUR in vitro. This antiviral immunity was specific: mice immunized with antigenetically unrelated influenza strains such as influenza A/Hong Kong/1/68 (H3, N2) or influenza B/Lee yielded susceptible macrophages. Specific macrophage immunity could be abrogated by trypsin treatment in vitro. Susceptible macrophages from nonimmune hosts became resistant following in vitro exposure to homologous anti-TUR sera. Peritoneal exudate cells from BCG-infected animals were less susceptible to in vitro challenge with M-TUR than control macrophages. In vivo treatment of mice with the unspecific immunostimulants BCG or Corynebacterium parvum did not protect the animals against lethal infection with a hepatotropic variant of TUR. 相似文献

Cerebellar Purkinje neurons in vivo exhibit high frequency and multi-spike action potentials with transient (INaT), resurgent (INaR) and persistent (INaP) Na+ currents arising from voltage-gated Na+ channels, which play important roles in shaping the action potentials and electrical activity of these cells. However, little is known about Na+ channel expression in cultured Purkinje neurons despite the use of in vitro approaches to study these cells. Therefore, GFP-expressing Purkinje neurons isolated from transgenic mice were analysed after four weeks in culture, when, coincident with distinct axonal and dendritic morphologies, cultured Purkinje neurons exhibited dendrite-specific MAP2 expression characteristic of polarized neurons. In cell-attached patch clamp recordings, Na+ currents occurred at significantly higher frequencies and amplitudes in patches from the soma and axon than from dendrites, similar to the polarized distribution observed in vivo. INaT, INaR and INaP Na+ currents with properties similar to those observed in acutely isolated Purkinje neurons were detected in nucleated outside-out patches from cultured Purkinje cells. RT-PCR analysis detected Nav1.1, Nav1.2 and Nav1.6, but not Nav1.3, Nav1.4, Nav 1.5 or Nav1.8 Na+ channel alpha subunit gene expression in cultured Purkinje neurons, as observed in vivo. Together, the results indicate that key aspects of Na+ channel expression in mature Purkinje neurons in vivo occur in vitro. 相似文献

The relationship between the haemagglutinin from the influenza virus A/duck/Ukraine/1/63 (Hav 7) and the human Hong Kong variants (H3) has been investigated. Amino-acid-sequence analysis shows that the Hav 7 haemagglutinin closely resembles the 1968 human H3 haemagglutinin in structure. However, the number of amino-acid-sequence differences (23) suggest that the Hong Kong haemagglutinin gene did not come directly from A/duck/Ukraine/1/63 but from a virus derived from it by antigenic drift during the period 1963-1968. 相似文献

Clinical genetic studies have shown that loss of Nav1.7 function leads to the complete loss of acute pain perception. The global deletion is reported lethal in mice, however, and studies of mice with promoter-specific deletions of Nav1.7 have suggested that the role of Nav1.7 in pain transduction depends on the precise form of pain. We developed genetic and animal husbandry strategies that overcame the neonatal-lethal phenotype and enabled construction of a global Nav1.7 knockout mouse. Knockouts were anatomically normal, reached adulthood, and had phenotype wholly analogous to human congenital indifference to pain (CIP): compared to littermates, knockouts showed no defects in mechanical sensitivity or overall movement yet were completely insensitive to painful tactile, thermal, and chemical stimuli and were anosmic. Knockouts also showed no painful behaviors resulting from peripheral injection of nonselective sodium channel activators, did not develop complete Freund’s adjuvant-induced thermal hyperalgesia, and were insensitive to intra-dermal histamine injection. Tetrodotoxin-sensitive sodium current recorded from cell bodies of isolated sensory neurons and the mechanically-evoked spiking of C-fibers in a skin-nerve preparation each were reduced but not eliminated in tissue from knockouts compared to littermates. Results support a role for Nav1.7 that is conserved between rodents and humans and suggest several possibly translatable biomarkers for the study of Nav1.7-targeted therapeutics. Results further suggest that Nav1.7 may retain its key role in persistent as well as acute forms of pain. 相似文献

Voltage-gated sodium channels (Nav) are complex glycoproteins comprised of an alpha subunit and often one to several beta subunits. We have shown that sialic acid residues linked to Nav alpha and beta1 subunits alter channel gating. To determine whether beta2-linked sialic acids similarly impact Nav gating, we co-expressed beta2 with Nav1.5 or Nav1.2 in Pro5 (complete sialylation) and in Lec2 (essentially no sialylation) cells. Beta2 sialic acids caused a significant hyperpolarizing shift in Nav1.5 voltage-dependent gating, thus describing for the first time an effect of beta2 on Nav1.5 gating. In contrast, beta2 caused a sialic acid-independent depolarizing shift in Nav1.2 gating. A deglycosylated mutant, beta(2-DeltaN), had no effect on Nav1.5 gating, indicating further the impact of beta2 N-linked sialic acids on Nav1.5 gating. Conversely, beta(2-DeltaN) modulated Nav1.2 gating virtually identically to beta2, confirming that beta2 N-linked sugars have no impact on Nav1.2 gating. Thus, beta2 modulates Nav gating through multiple mechanisms possibly determined by the associated alpha subunit. Beta1 and beta2 were expressed together with Nav1.5 or Nav1.2 in Pro5 and Lec2 cells. Together beta1 and beta2 produced a significantly larger sialic acid-dependent hyperpolarizing shift in Nav1.5 gating. Under fully sialylating conditions, the Nav1.2.beta1.beta2 complex behaved like Nav1.2 alone. When sialylation was reduced, only the sialic acid-independent depolarizing effects of beta2 on Nav1.2 gating were apparent. Thus, the varied effects of beta1 and beta2 on Nav1.5 and Nav1.2 gating are apparently synergistic and highlight the complex manner, through subunit- and sugar-dependent mechanisms, by which Nav activity is modulated. 相似文献

Brugada syndrome is a life-threatening, inherited arrhythmia disorder associated with autosomal dominant mutations in SCN5A, the gene encoding the human cardiac Na+ channel α subunit (Nav1.5). Here, we characterized the biophysical properties of a novel Brugada syndrome-associated Nav1.5 mutation, A551T, identified in a proband who was successfully resuscitated from an episode of ventricular fibrillation with sudden collapse. Whole-cell currents through wild-type (WT) Nav1.5 and mutant (A551T) channels were recorded and compared in the human embryonic kidney cell line HEK293T transfected with SCN5A cDNA and SCN1B cDNA, using the patch-clamp technique. Current density was decreased in the A551T mutant compared to the WT. In addition, the A551T mutation reduced Nav1.5 activity by promoting entry of the channel into fast inactivation from the closed state, thereby shifting the steady-state inactivation curve by -5 mV. Furthermore, when evaluated at -90 mV, the resting membrane potential, but not at the conventionally used -120 mV, both the percentage, and rate, of channel recovery from inactivation were reduced in the mutant. These results suggest that the DI-DII linker may be involved in the stability of inactivation gating process. This study supports the notion that a reduction in Nav1.5 channel function is involved in the pathogenesis of Brugada syndrome. The structural-functional study of the Nav1.5 channel advances our understanding of its pathophysiolgocial function. 相似文献

Intracellular Fibroblast Growth Factor 14 (iFGF14) and the other intracellular FGFs (iFGF11-13) regulate the properties and densities of voltage-gated neuronal and cardiac Na+ (Nav) channels. Recent studies have demonstrated that the iFGFs can also regulate native voltage-gated Ca2+ (Cav) channels. In the present study, a mass spectrometry (MS)-based proteomic approach was used to identify the components of native cerebellar iFGF14 complexes. Using an anti-iFGF14 antibody, native iFGF14 complexes were immunoprecipitated from wild type adult mouse cerebellum. Parallel control experiments were performed on cerebellar proteins isolated from mice (Fgf14?/?) harboring a targeted disruption of the Fgf14 locus. MS analyses of immunoprecipitated proteins demonstrated that the vast majority of proteins identified in native cerebellar iFGF14 complexes are Nav channel pore-forming (α) subunits or proteins previously reported to interact with Nav α subunits. In contrast, no Cav channel α or accessory subunits were revealed in cerebellar iFGF14 immunoprecipitates. Additional experiments were completed using an anti-PanNav antibody to immunoprecipitate Nav channel complexes from wild type and Fgf14?/? mouse cerebellum. Western blot and MS analyses revealed that the loss of iFGF14 does not measurably affect the protein composition or the relative abundance of Nav channel interacting proteins in native adult mouse cerebellar Nav channel complexes. 相似文献

Congenital insensitivity to pain (CIP) or congenital analgesia is a rare monogenic hereditary condition. This disorder is characterized by the inability to perceive any form of pain. Nonsense mutations in Nav.1.7, the main pain signaling voltage-gated sodium channel, lead to its truncations and, consequently, to the inactivation of the channel functionality. However, a non-truncating homozygously inherited missense mutation in a Bedouin family with CIP (Nav1.7-R907Q) has also been reported. Based on our currently acquired in-depth knowledge of matrix metalloproteinase (MMP) cleavage preferences, we developed the specialized software that predicts the presence of the MMP cleavage sites in the peptide sequences. According to our in silico predictions, the peptide sequence of the exposed extracellular unstructured region linking the S5–S6 transmembrane segments in the DII domain of the human Nav1.7 sodium channel is highly sensitive to MMP-9 proteolysis. Intriguingly, the CIP R907Q mutation overlaps with the predicted MMP-9 cleavage site sequence. Using MMP-9 proteolysis of the wild-type, CIP, and control peptides followed by mass spectrometry of the digests, we demonstrated that the mutant sequence is severalfold more sensitive to MMP-9 proteolysis relative to the wild type. Because of the substantial level of sequence homology among sodium channels, our data also implicate MMP proteolysis in regulating the cell surface levels of the Nav1.7, Nav1.6, and Nav1.8 channels, but not Nav1.9. It is likely that the aberrantly accelerated MMP-9 proteolysis during neurogenesis is a biochemical rational for the functional inactivation in Nav1.7 and that the enhanced cleavage of the Nav1.7-R907Q mutant is a cause of CIP in the Bedouin family. 相似文献

Voltage-gated sodium (Nav) channels initiate action potentials in brain neurons and are primary therapeutic targets for anti-epileptic drugs controlling neuronal hyperexcitability in epilepsy. The molecular mechanisms underlying abnormal Nav channel expression, localization, and function during development of epilepsy are poorly understood but can potentially result from altered posttranslational modifications (PTMs). For example, phosphorylation regulates Nav channel gating, and has been proposed to contribute to acquired insensitivity to anti-epileptic drugs exhibited by Nav channels in epileptic neurons. However, whether changes in specific brain Nav channel PTMs occur acutely in response to seizures has not been established. Here, we show changes in PTMs of the major brain Nav channel, Nav1.2, after acute kainate-induced seizures. Mass spectrometry-based proteomic analyses of Nav1.2 purified from the brains of control and seizure animals revealed a significant down-regulation of phosphorylation at nine sites, primarily located in the interdomain I-II linker, the region of Nav1.2 crucial for phosphorylation-dependent regulation of activity. Interestingly, Nav1.2 in the seizure samples contained methylated arginine (MeArg) at three sites. These MeArgs were adjacent to down-regulated sites of phosphorylation, and Nav1.2 methylation increased after seizure. Phosphorylation and MeArg were not found together on the same tryptic peptide, suggesting reciprocal regulation of these two PTMs. Coexpression of Nav1.2 with the primary brain arginine methyltransferase PRMT8 led to a surprising 3-fold increase in Nav1.2 current. Reciprocal regulation of phosphorylation and MeArg of Nav1.2 may underlie changes in neuronal Nav channel function in response to seizures and also contribute to physiological modulation of neuronal excitability. 相似文献

Stromal cell-derived factor 1 (SDF-1)/chemokine CXC motif ligand 12 (CXCL12), a chemokine that is upregulated in dorsal root ganglion (DRG) during chronic pain models, has recently been found to play a central role in pain hypersensitivity. The purpose of present study is to investigate the functional impact of SDF-1 and its receptor, chemokine CXC motif receptor 4 (CXCR4), on two TTXR sodium channels in rat DRG using electrophysiological techniques. Preincubation with SDF-1 caused a concentration-dependent increase of Nav1.8 and Nav1.9 currents amplitudes in acutely isolated small diameter DRG neurons in short-term culture. As to Nav1.9, changes in current density and kinetic properties of Nav1.9 current evoked by SDF-1(50 ng/ml) was eliminated by CXCR4 antagonist AMD3100 and phosphatidylinositol 3-kinase (PI3K) inhibitor LY294002. The increase in Nav1.9 current was also blocked by pertussis toxin (PTX) but not cholera toxin (CTX), showing involvement of Gi/o but not Gs subunits. As to Nav1.8, inhibitors (AMD3100, PTX, CTX, LY294002) used in present study didn’t inhibit the increased amplitude of Nav1.8 current and shifted activation curve of Nav1.8 in a hyperpolarizing direction in the presence of SDF-1 (50 ng/ml). In conclusion, our data demonstrated that SDF-1 may excite primary nociceptive sensory neurons by acting on the biophysical properties of Nav1.8 and Nav1.9 currents but via different mechanisms. 相似文献

Activation and inactivation of voltage-gated sodium channels (Navs) are well studied, yet the molecular mechanisms governing channel gating in the membrane remain unknown. We present two conformations of a Nav from Caldalkalibacillus thermarum reconstituted into lipid bilayers in one crystal at 9 Å resolution based on electron crystallography. Despite a voltage sensor arrangement identical with that in the activated form, we observed two distinct pore domain structures: a prominent form with a relatively open inner gate and a closed inner-gate conformation similar to the first prokaryotic Nav structure. Structural differences, together with mutational and electrophysiological analyses, indicated that widening of the inner gate was dependent on interactions among the S4–S5 linker, the N-terminal part of S5 and its adjoining part in S6, and on interhelical repulsion by a negatively charged C-terminal region subsequent to S6. Our findings suggest that these specific interactions result in two conformational structures. 相似文献

Evidence supports a role for the tetrodotoxin-sensitive Nav1.7 and the tetrodotoxin-resistant Nav1.8 in the pathogenesis of pain. Ranolazine, an anti-ischemic drug, has been shown to block cardiac (Nav1.5) late sodium current (INa). In this study, whole-cell patch-clamp techniques were used to determine the effects of ranolazine on human Nav1.7 (hNav1.7+β1 subunits) and rat Nav1.8 (rNav1.8) channels expressed in HEK293 and ND7-23 cells, respectively. Ranolazine reduced hNav1.7 and rNav1.8 INa with IC50 values of 10.3 and 21.5 μM (holding potential=-120 or -100 mV, respectively). The potency of INa block by ranolazine increased to 3.2 and 4.3 μM when 5-sec depolarizing prepulses to -70 (hNav1.7) and -40 (rNav1.8) mV were applied. Ranolazine caused a preferential hyperpolarizing shift of the steady-state fast, intermediate and slow inactivation of hNav1.7 and and intermediate and slow inactivation of rNav1.8, suggesting preferential interaction of the drug with the inactivated states of both channels. Ranolazine (30 μM) caused a use-dependent block (10-msec pulses at 1, 2 and 5 Hz) of hNav1.7 and rNav1.8 INa and significantly accelerated the onset of, and slowed the recovery from inactivation, of both channels. An increase of depolarizing pulse duration from 3 to 200 msec did not affect the use-dependent block of INa by 100 μM ranolazine. Taken together, the data suggest that ranolazine blocks the open state and may interact with the inactivated states of Nav1.7 and Nav1.8 channels. The state-and use-dependent modulation of hNav1.7 and rNav1.8 Na+ channels by ranolazine could lead to an increased effect of the drug at high firing frequencies, as in injured neurons. 相似文献

Recombinants between two different influenza C viruses were isolated. In MDCK (canine kidney) cells, one strain, C/JJ/50, caused lytic plaques, whereas C/JHG/66 virus did not produce clear plaques. From a mixed infection of MDCK cells with C/JHG/66 virus and UV-inactivated C/JJ/50 virus, clones were isolated which possessed the clear-plaque phenotype. Fingerprint analyses indicated that the RNAs of parent viruses had different oligonucleotide patterns and that one of the clones derived from the mixed infection was formed by reassortment of parental genes. This recombinant clone most likely inherited RNAs 1, 2, 3, 6, and 7 from C/JGH/66 virus and RNAs 4 and 5 from C/JJ/50 virus. 相似文献

Adrenal chromaffin cells (CCs) in rodents express rapidly inactivating, tetrodotoxin (TTX)-sensitive sodium channels. The resulting current has generally been attributed to Nav1.7, although a possible role for Nav1.3 has also been suggested. Nav channels in rat CCs rapidly inactivate via two independent pathways which differ in their time course of recovery. One subpopulation recovers with time constants similar to traditional fast inactivation and the other ∼10-fold slower, but both pathways can act within a single homogenous population of channels. Here, we use Nav1.3 KO mice to probe the properties and molecular components of Nav current in CCs. We find that the absence of Nav1.3 abolishes all Nav current in about half of CCs examined, while a small, fast inactivating Nav current is still observed in the rest. To probe possible molecular components underlying slow recovery from inactivation, we used mice null for fibroblast growth factor homology factor 14 (FGF14). In these cells, the slow component of recovery from fast inactivation is completely absent in most CCs, with no change in the time constant of fast recovery. The use dependence of Nav current reduction during trains of stimuli in WT cells is completely abolished in FGF14 KO mice, directly demonstrating a role for slow recovery from inactivation in determining Nav current availability. Our results indicate that FGF14-mediated inactivation is the major determinant defining use-dependent changes in Nav availability in CCs. These results establish that Nav1.3, like other Nav isoforms, can also partner with FGF subunits, strongly regulating Nav channel function. 相似文献

Nav1.2 and Nav1.6 are two voltage-gated sodium channel isoforms that are abundant in the adult central nervous system. These channels are expressed in different cells and localized in different neuronal regions, which may reflect functional specialization. To examine this possibility, we compared the properties of Nav1.2 and Nav1.6 in response to a rapid series of repetitive depolarizations. Currents through Nav1.6 coexpressed with beta1 demonstrated use-dependent potentiation during a rapid train of depolarizations. This potentiation was in contrast to the use-dependent decrease in current for Nav1.2 with beta1. The voltage dependence of potentiation correlated with the voltage dependence of activation, and it still occurred when fast inactivation was removed by mutation. Rapid stimulation accelerated a slow phase of activation in the Nav1.6 channel that had fast inactivation removed, resulting in faster channel activation. Although the Nav1.2 channel with fast inactivation removed also demonstrated slightly faster activation, that channel showed very pronounced slow inactivation compared to Nav1.6. These results indicate that potentiation of Nav1.6 sodium currents results from faster channel activation, and that this effect is masked by slow inactivation in Nav1.2. The data suggest that Nav1.6 might be more resistant to inactivation, which might be helpful for high-frequency firing at nodes of Ranvier compared to Nav1.2. 相似文献

Voltage-dependent sodium (Nav) current in adrenal chromaffin cells (CCs) is rapidly inactivating and tetrodotoxin (TTX)–sensitive. The fractional availability of CC Nav current has been implicated in regulation of action potential (AP) frequency and the occurrence of slow-wave burst firing. Here, through recordings of Nav current in rat CCs, primarily in adrenal medullary slices, we describe unique inactivation properties of CC Nav inactivation that help define AP firing rates in CCs. The key feature of CC Nav current is that recovery from inactivation, even following brief (5 ms) inactivation steps, exhibits two exponential components of similar amplitude. Various paired pulse protocols show that entry into the fast and slower recovery processes result from largely independent competing inactivation pathways, each of which occurs with similar onset times at depolarizing potentials. Over voltages from −120 to −80 mV, faster recovery varies from ∼3 to 30 ms, while slower recovery varies from ∼50 to 400 ms. With strong depolarization (above −10 mV), the relative entry into slow or fast recovery pathways is similar and independent of voltage. Trains of short depolarizations favor recovery from fast recovery pathways and result in cumulative increases in the slow recovery fraction. Dual-pathway fast inactivation, by promoting use-dependent accumulation in slow recovery pathways, dynamically regulates Nav availability. Consistent with this finding, repetitive AP clamp waveforms at 1–10 Hz frequencies reduce Nav availability 80–90%, depending on holding potential. These results indicate that there are two distinct pathways of fast inactivation, one leading to conventional fast recovery and the other to slower recovery, which together are well-suited to mediate use-dependent changes in Nav availability. 相似文献
