Changes in carbohydrate metabolism were studied in the isolated intestinal loops of rabbits during secretory diarrhea, induced by cholera enterotoxin. Glucose synthesis level in the small intestinal mucosa and liver was measured by isotope technique, using L-alanine as a precursor. Intestinal gluconeogenesis, calculated per mg of protein, appeared to be twice higher than in the liver of fasting rabbits. Cholera enterotoxin administration enhanced gluconeogenesis in the liver by 60%, as compared to the control. The rate of glucose synthesis and glucose-6-phosphatase activity in the intestinal mucosa remained unchanged, whereas glucose-6-phosphatase in the liver was slightly inhibited. It is suggested that gluconeogenesis in the liver supplies glucose as a convenient energy source for the secretory process induced by cholera enterotoxin in the rabbit small intestine. 相似文献

The production of collagenase by lipopolysaccharide-(LPS) activated guinea pig macrophages is mediated by prostaglandins (PG) of the E series. After stimulation of guinea pig macrophages with LPS, extracellular PGE levels and cellular cAMP levels are elevated. Indomethacin inhibits not only PG synthesis, but also cAMP and collagenase production in LPS-stimulated macrophage cultures. In these indomethacin-inhibited cultures containing LPS, dibutyryl (dB) cAMP, or cholera toxin can restore macrophage collagenase production but not PG synthesis. Moreover, dBcAMP and cholera toxin enhance collagenase production in LPS-activated cultures. Initial activation of the macrophages by an agent such as LPS is a prerequisite for synthesis of collagenase, since in the absence of LPS, dBcAMP or cholera toxin alone are ineffective stimuli. These findings clearly demonstrate a role for PG-induced elevations of cAMP in the production of collagenase by LPS-activated macrophages. 相似文献

We investigated whether the mitogenic response induced by local mast-cell secretion in the rat mesentery was affected by suppression of phospholipase A2, lipoxygenase, or cyclooxygenase in arachidonic acid metabolism. Enzyme inhibitor was given in a single intravenous dose 5 min before intraperitoneal injection of the mast-cell secretagogue 48/80. Mepacrine, a phospholipase A2 inhibitor, suppressed the generation of both leukotrienes (SRS) and prostaglandins (PG), whereas the lipoxygenase inhibitor BW 755C reduced the generation of SRS, and the cyclooxygenase inhibitor indomethacin significantly suppressed the generation of PG. None of the enzyme inhibitors affected the basal mesenteric histamine content or histamine release in the mesentery after exposure to 48/80, and none of them affected mast-cell-mediated mitogenesis in the mesentery as judged by specific DNA activity and mitosis counting. The stimulation of DNA synthesis and mitosis initiated by secreting mast cells is apparently not mediated or modulated by synthesis of leukotrienes, prostaglandins, or other known arachidonic acid metabolites. 相似文献

Cholera enterotoxin increases C-AMP production, and stimulates testosterone secretion in the rat testis . This gonadotropic action of cholera enterotoxin is potentiated by theophylline. It is suggested that cholera enterotoxin acts on Leydig cells directly to activate their adenyl cyclase, and consequently stimulates steroidogenesis in the rat testis. However, the receptor of cholera enterotoxin seems to be located at a different site from that of human chorionic gonadotropin. 相似文献

Recent reports suggest that prostaglandins, rather than cAMP, play a major role in mediating cholera toxin-induced water and electrolyte secretion from rabbit intestinal loops. We examined the role of prostaglandins in mediating toxin-induced pancreatic and gastric exocrine secretion. In these tissues, indomethacin, a potent inhibitor of prostaglandin synthesis, did not alter the stimulatory effects of cholera toxin on increases in cellular cAMP or enzyme secretion. Moreover, the addition of cholera toxin did not alter prostaglandin E2 release from either tissue. In contrast to their effects in rabbit intestinal loops, prostaglandins do not regulate cholera toxin-induced enzyme secretion from the guinea pig pancreas or stomach. 相似文献

Studies were carried out to investigate the effects of prostaglandins (PG) in vitro on adrenal microsomal steroid and drug metabolism in the guinea pig. The addition of PGE1, PGE2, PGA1, PGF1 alpha or PGF2 alpha to isolated adrenal microsomes produced typical type I difference spectra. The sizes of the spectra (delta A385-420) produced by prostaglandins were smaller than those produced by various steroids including progesterone, 17-hydroxyprogesterone and 11 beta-hydroxyprogesterone. However, the affinities of prostaglandins and steroids for adrenal microsomal cytochrome P-450, as estimated by the spectral dissociation constants, were similar. Prior addition of prostaglandins to isolated adrenal microsomes did not affect steroid binding to cytochrome P-450 or the rate of steroid 21-hydroxylation. In contrast, prostaglandins inhibited adrenal metabolism of ethylmorphine and diminished the magnitude of the ethylmorphine-induced spectral change in adrenal microsomes. The results indicate that prostaglandins inhibit adrenal drug metabolism by interfering with substrate binding to cytochrome P-450. Since 21-hydroxylation was unaffected by PG, different cytochrome P-450 moieties are probably involved in adrenal drug and steroid metabolism. 相似文献

The outputs of prostaglandin (PG) F-2 alpha, 6-keto-PGF-1 alpha and PGE-2 from Day-7 and Day-15 guinea-pig endometrium were neither stimulated nor inhibited by cholera toxin and pertussis toxin. This indicates that PG synthesis by guinea-pig endometrium is not controlled by toxin-sensitive G-proteins. Short-term treatment of guinea-pig endometrium in culture with sodium fluoride stimulated PG output, suggesting that endometrial PG synthesis may be regulated by a fluoride-sensitive G-protein. Long-term treatment of guinea-pig endometrium in culture with sodium fluoride inhibited endometrial PG synthesis, and this was due to an inhibition of endometrial protein synthesis. Human alpha-interferon had no inhibitory effect on the outputs of PGF-2 alpha, 6-keto-PGF-1 alpha and PGE-2 from Day-15 guinea-pig endometrium in culture. It appears that the anti-luteolytic factor secreted by guinea-pig conceptus is not an alpha-interferon and is therefore probably different from ovine trophoblast protein-1. 相似文献

Adenosine is a renal vasoconstrictor that plays an important role in mediating renal adaptive responses to decreases in renal perfusion pressure. It is known that adenosine acts on the metabolism of arachidonic acid, but the direct repercussions of adenosine in the production of renal prostaglandins and leukotrienes have not been studied. This study was undertaken to evaluate the effect of the intrarenal infusion of adenosine upon the urinary elimination of arachidonic acid derivatives. Samples of urine were collected with lysine acetylsalicylate and determination of prostaglandins (PGs) and leukotrienes (LTs) was performed by radioimmunoassay of samples previously separated by HPLC. The infusion of adenosine decreases the urinary excretion of 6-keto-PGF1 alpha and TxB2 significantly. There was no significant change in urinary excretion of PGE2 while LTB4 and LTC4 showed a tendency to increase. These results suggest that a fall in the synthesis of PGI2 along with an increase in LTC4, which is a constrictor of mesangial cells, could be responsible for the renal vasoconstriction phase of adenosine. Therefore, it was concluded that adenosine vasoconstriction is mediated through the inhibition of the cyclo-oxygenase pathway, diminishing the synthesis of PG vasodilators. 相似文献

This study describes the synthesis of prostaglandins (PGs) by the vascular structures of the inner ear (lateral wall = stria vascularis and spiral ligament) in vitro. The main PGs produced were PGI2, PGF2 alpha and PGE2. PGI2 and PGF2 alpha were also found in the perilymph. A 350 mg/kg ip injection of aspirin decreased PG synthesis by the lateral wall and PG levels in perilymph. This effect was reversed after 3 days. Gentamicin (10(-9) to 10(-5) M) decreased significantly and reversibly PG synthesis in vitro, as did 100 mg/kg ip injection. Acoustic stimulation increased ex vivo PGI2 and PGE2 synthesis without modifying PG levels in perilymph. Results suggest that PGs could be one humoral mediator of the cochlear microcirculation homeostasis, and, possibly, of the circulatory disturbances reported after acoustic stimulation. The decreased PG synthesis after gentamicin treatment could account for the angiotoxic component observed in aminoglycoside ototoxicity. 相似文献

Rat ovarian cells were exposed to cholera enterotoxin, and the effect on progesterone synthesis as well as on protein kinase stimulation was examined. Cholera enterotoxin stimulated ovarian steroidogenesis in a dose dependent manner similar to that of hCG. The stimulation of protein kinase by cholera toxin was followed by a lag period, whereas hCG effect was immediate. Mixed gangliosides, when added to the incubation medium, blocked the cholera enterotoxin-stimulated protein kinase activity and abolished the decrease in exogenous [3H] cyclic AMP receptor activity brought about by the toxin. In contrast, under similar experimental conditions ganglioside addition elicited no effect on protein kinase activation produced by hCG or LH. The data suggest that gangliosides do not appear to be directly involved in gonadotropin binding to ovarian cell membrane and subsequent mediation of physiological response. 相似文献

Summary The ability of the vitelline and fertilization envelopes of rainbow trout eggs to trap toxins was investigated using cholera enterotoxin B and staphylococcal enterotoxin B in cytochemical or immunocytochemical experiments. Extracts from both envelopes were investigated by immunoblot analysis to identify toxin-binding proteins after SDS-PAGE. Binding studies of cholera enterotoxin B to vitelline envelopes and fertilization envelopes revealed a greater reactive intensity in the former. Treatment with neuraminidase enhanced the reactive intensity (or deposit) in the vitelline envelope and fertilization envelope outermost layers, with more conspicuous reactivity in the former. Cytochemical experiments showed that exogenous ganglioside GM1 considerably enhanced cholera enterotoxin B binding to vitelline and fertilization envelopes. This enhancement was shown by an intense reactivity following the occurrence of new binding sites on the vitelline envelope inner surface and the inner wall of the zona radiata, a simultaneous extreme reduction in the reactivity of the vitelline envelope outermost layer, and a striking increase in reactive products in the fertilization envelope outermost layer. The surface region of the vitelline or fertilization envelope outermost layer was the binding site for staphylococcal enterotoxin B, and neuraminidase treatment caused a considerable reduction of reactive products in these areas. Immunoblot analysis of cholera enterotoxin Bor staphylococcal enterotoxin B-binding substances in extracts from the vitelline envelopes or fertilization envelopes demonstrated that the great majority of the binding substances are glycoproteins. The present results suggest that glycoproteins constituting the vitelline envelope or fertilization envelope may contribute to the protection of the egg itself or the embryo by trapping noxious toxins. 相似文献

The participation of hydroperoxides and oxygen radicals in the control of prostaglandin synthesis 总被引:9,自引:0,他引:9
Our results demonstrate that the organic hydroperoxide t-butyl-hydroperoxide (TBHP) influences the synthesis of prostaglandins in the human embryo lung fibroblast. TBHP inhibits or stimulates prostaglandin synthesis as a function of its concentration. Regardless of the concentration employed in these experiments however, TBHP stimulated the release of arachidonate from lipid stores. When the arachidonate release step in prostaglandin (PG) synthesis was bypassed by the addition of free arachidonate to the cell cultures, t-butyl hydroperoxide further stimulated PG synthesis, indicating that the hydroperoxide activates arachidonate conversion to prostaglandins. 4-Hydroxy-2,2,6,6-tetramethylpiperidinoxy radical, a scavenger of oxygen radicals, when added to cell cultures alone had no measurable effect on either arachidonate release or prostaglandin synthesis. When 4-hydroxy-2,2,6,6-tetramethylpiperidinoxy radical was administered to cell cultures in combination with t-butyl hydroperoxide, it increased prostaglandin synthesis while inhibiting arachidonate release by the hydroperoxide. The participation of hydroperoxides and trappers of oxygen radicals in the regulation of PG synthesis is not unique to lung fibroblasts. Endothelial cells from the vasculature as well as fibroblasts from the cornea also appear to be affected by these compounds with respect to prostaglandin synthesis. 相似文献

Tumor necrosis factor stimulates prostaglandin production and cyclic AMP levels in rat cultured mesangial cells 总被引:4,自引:0,他引:4
Human recombinant tumor necrosis factor-alpha (TNF) was found to stimulate the production of prostaglandins (PG) by cultured rat mesangial cells. This effect was demonstrable from 6 h, was dose dependent and affected the synthesis of PGE2, PGF2 alpha, and 6-keto-PGF1 alpha. It required both RNA and protein synthesis but was not associated with a modification of cell proliferation. TNF also stimulated adenosine 3'-5' cyclic monophosphate (cAMP) levels in the mesangial cell culture medium. Indomethacin suppressed the effect of TNF on PGs but only reduced that on cAMP, indicating that PG production partly mediates the increase in cAMP. These findings demonstrate that mesangial cells can be a target for TNF and that the mechanism of TNF action includes stimulation of both PG production and cAMP levels. 相似文献

Procedures for cholera enterotoxin purification previously developed in this labarotory were not applicable to large-scale purification, and these methods resulted in low yields of pure toxin. An efficient scheme has been developed whereby pure cholera enterotoxin can be obtained from 6 to 8 liters of culture supernatant fluid. This method consists of concentration by membrane ultrafiltration followed by gel filtration and cation-exchange chromatography. Pure cholera enterotoxin of high biological potency was obtained after a final step of preparative acrylamide gel electrophoresis. The degree of purity of the toxin-antigen as well as its biological activity were determined at various setps of purification. This alternate technique for purification is offered because of the widespread interest in cholera enterotoxin as a specific stimulator of adenyl cyclase. 相似文献

Activation of adenylate cyclase in membrane preparations of the rabbit small intestine mucosa by cholera enterotoxin in the presence of sodium 2,3-dithiopropanesulfate (DTPS) is similar to that in the presence of dithiothreitol (DTT). Both DTT and DTPS do not influence the activity of adenylate cyclase without cholera enterotoxin. DTPS activates cyclic 3,5-AMP phosphodiesterase of mucosa homogenates (K0.5 = 10(-5) M). Combined administration of cholera enterotoxin and DTPS in situ into isolated loops of the rabbit small intestine decreases the activating effect of cholera enterotoxin on adenylate cyclase and diminishes the content of cyclic AMP in the mucosa. The destruction of disulfide bonds of cholera enterotoxin by DTPS is assumed to lower its ability to penetrate the mucosal cells of the small intestine. 相似文献

Intact slice preparations of rabbit stomach (antral mucosa, corporal mucosa, antral muscle and corporal muscle) were incubated and the released prostaglandins (PGs) were measured by reverse-phase high-performance liquid chromatography using 9-anthryldiazomethane for derivatization. With respect to total PG production, the highest amounts were generated by antral mucosal slices. Antral mucosal slices produced PGE2, 6-keto PGF1 alpha, thromboxane B2, PGF2 alpha and PGD2 (in descending order of magnitude) and possessed a high capacity for producing 13,14-dihydro-15-keto derivatives of both PGE2 and PGF2 alpha. Studies utilizing aspirin, EGTA or Ca2+ revealed that PG release by antral mucosal slices in the present in vitro system reflects a composite of the activities of phospholipase A3, PG cyclooxygenase and PG-metabolizing enzymes. These results show that antral mucosal slices will be useful in physiological and pharmacological studies on PG synthesis and metabolism of the stomach. 相似文献

The possibility that estrogen affects uterine sensitization for decidualization by altering the ability of E-series prostaglandins (PGs) to increase adenosine 3':5'-cyclic monophosphate (cAMP) concentrations was investigated. To determine if increased endometrial vascular permeability, a response which precedes decidualization, could be obtained in nonsensitized uteri by treatments designed to increase endometrial intracellular cAMP concentrations, cholera toxin, an activator of adenylate cyclase, was injected into the uterine lumen of immature rats pretreated with progesterone and either 0, 0.5 or 10 micrograms estrone with indomethacin to inhibit endogenous PG synthesis. Endometrial vascular permeability, determined using 125I-labeled bovine serum albumin, was assessed 8 h later. Cholera toxin produced a dose-dependent increase in endometrial vascular permeability in all groups; the uteri of rats pretreated with the optimal hormone regimen (0.5 micrograms estrone plus 2 mg progesterone) responded to a lower dose of the toxin. As determined by uterine weights and histologic examination 5 days after the intrauterine administration of cholera toxin or its vehicle, the toxin induced decidualization in rats pretreated with progesterone and 0 or 0.5 micrograms estrone, but not in those receiving 10 micrograms estrone. Cholera toxin had no detectable effect on uterine cAMP concentrations in animals sacrificed 15 min or 3 h after intrauterine treatment. The intrauterine injection of 8-Br-cAMP, with or without 3-isobutyl-1-methyl-xanthine, did not increase endometrial vascular permeability in indomethacin-treated animals pretreated with the different hormone regimens.(ABSTRACT TRUNCATED AT 250 WORDS) 相似文献

The genes for a new enterotoxin were cloned from Escherichia coli SA53. The new toxin was heat labile and activated adenylate cyclase but was not neutralized by antisera against cholera toxin or E. coli heat-labile enterotoxin. Subcloning and minicell experiments indicated that the toxin is composed of two polypeptide subunits that are encoded by two genes. The two toxin subunits exhibited mobilities on polyacrylamide gels that are similar to those of cholera toxin and E. coli heat-labile enterotoxin subunits. A 0.8-kilobase DNA probe for the new enterotoxin failed to hybridize with the cloned structural genes for E. coli heat-labile enterotoxin. 相似文献
