Using radioimmune techniques, we studied in detail the concentrations of -endorphin (-En), met- and leu-enkephalins (mE and lE, respectively), and substance P (SP) in a number of structures of the brainstem and forebrain of the cat. According to the proposed concept, these structures comprise the noci- and antinociceptive brain systems (NS and ANS). The above indices were measured in intact animals and in animals after nociceptive electrocutaneous stimulation (NECS) of the limb, stimulation of the ventrolateral zone of the midbrain central gray (vl SGC, a nociceptive midbrain structure), stimulation of the dorsolateral part of the above region and dorsal raphe nucleus (dl SGC and Rd, antinociceptive midbrain structures), and after combined stimulations (NECS preceded by conditioning stimulation of one of the above midbrain zones). We found that in the norm maximum SP concentrations were observed in the NS structures, while those of -En and mE were the highest in the hypothalamic nuclei belonging to the ANS and in its midbrain centers (dl SGC and Rd). Nociceptive ECS, stimulations of the studied midbrain zones, and combinations of these stimulations could result in specific and, in some cases, very significant (by an order of magnitude and more) shifts in the concentrations of the mentioned neuropeptides in the studied set of the central structures. After NECS and its combination with vl SGC stimulation, SP concentrations in the NS structures considerably increased, while -En and mE concentrations in the ANS components dropped. Stimulations of the dl SGC and Rd were accompanied by increases in the mE and -En levels and simultaneous drops in the SP concentrations in the ANS components; reciprocate shifts were observed within the NS. Changes in the lE level, which were related to the influences used, were less specific and mostly appeared as increases in this index in the structures of both the NS and ANS. Combinations of NECS with conditioning stimulations of the vl SGC, dl SGC, or Rd demonstrated that the latter exert significant modulatory effects on the NECS-induced shifts in the concentrations of the studied neuropeptides. Considering the obtained data, a hypothetical scheme of neuropeptide organization of the cerebral NS and ANS has been proposed. In the examined brain structures, there are neuronal populations belonging to the two main neurochemical systems. One of them is SP-ergic, while another consists of mE- and -En-ergic neurons; these systems are in antagonistic relations. Changes in the levels of mE and -En always induce the attended opposite shifts in the SP levels, and vice versa. The lE-ergic neuronal populations, which co-exist with the above neurochemical systems, are relatively nonspecifically activated by either (noci- and antinociceptive) drives, but, according to the pattern of its responses, the lE-ergic system is closer to the SP-ergic one. It is supposed that pain signals, when coming to the vl SGC, activate SP- and lE-ergic neuronal populations; later on, the posterior and lateral hypothalamic nuclei and preoptic region are involved in the transmission of the above signals. When released by the corresponding neuronal populations in the vl SGC, lE activates the key ANS structures (dl SGC and Rd), and the latter, in turn, activate other components of this system, which form its ascending compartment (ventromedial, dorsomedial, and paraventricular hypothalamic nuclei, septum, basolateral amygdala, hippocampal fields 3 and 4, and cingular cortex). In the ANS,-En and mE function as transmitters. 相似文献

Nociceptive responses were evoked in cats by electrical transcutaneous stimulation of the forepaw or electrical stimulation
of respective brain structures; these responses could be modulated (intensified or suppressed) by combined electrical stimulation
of different brain structures or by neurochemical influences upon these structures. Intensification of nociceptive responses
was observed after stimulation of the noradrenergic orP-ergic systems localized in the ventral zone of the central gray (vl SGC) and the structures monosynaptically connected with the latter: the posterior and lateral hypothalamic nuclei (Hp andHl) and preoptic region (RPO). Similar effects were induced by suppression of the serotoninergic system concentrated within the dorsolateral central gray
(dl SGC), dorsal raphe nucleus (Rd), and closely related structures: the ventromedial, dorsomedial, and paraventricular hypothalamic nuclei (Hvm, Hdm, andHpv), septum (Sep), basolateral amygdalar nucleus (Am bl), fields 3–4 of the hippocampus (CA3–4), and cingular cortex (GC). Suppression of the serotoninergic system resulted in a decrease in the levels of functioning of the met-enkephalin- and
β-endorphinergic systems and facilitation of theP-ergic system. Moderation of nociceptive responses, i.e., an analgesic effect, was observed after either stimulation of the
serotonin-, met-enkephalin-, and β-endorphinergic systems localized in thedl SGC, Rd, Hvm, Hdm, Sep, Am bl, CA3–4, andGC, or suppression of the noradrenergic system. The latter influence resulted in inhibition of theP-ergic system and a rise in the functional activity of the met-enkephalin- and β-endorphinergic systems. The composition of
two antagonistic brain systems, nociceptive and antinociceptive, is considered. The antinociceptive system includes serotonin-,
met-enkephalin-, and β-endorphinergic elements. Leu-enkephalin is a nonspecific activator of the met-enkephalin-, β-endorphin-,
andP-ergic systems. The nociceptive system consists of thevl SGC, Hp, Hl, andRPO, while the antinociceptive system includes thedl SGC, Rd, Hvm, Hdm, Hpv, Sep, Am dl, CA3–4, andGC. 相似文献

The ecological role of chemical stimuli for the zooplankton: predator-induced morphology in Daphnia 总被引:13,自引:0,他引:13
Stanley I. Dodson 《Oecologia》1989,78(3):361-367
Summary Numerous adaptive predator-induced responses occurred when eight clones representing seven Daphnia (Crustacea: Cladocera) species were tested against three common predators: fourth instar larval phantom midge Chaoborus americanus, adult backswimmer Notonecta undulata, and small sunfish Lepomis macrochirus. The predators were confined within small mesh bags, suggesting that the signal for induction is chemical. The induced responses included longer tail spines, longer heads, smaller bodies, increased egg clutches, and decreased lipid reserves. Each Daphnia species responded to each of the three predators in a unique manner. Induced responses in the above characters showed no significant association. The induced morphological changes are generally consistent with current theories of what is an adaptive response for the various sizes of Daphnia exposed to tactile and visual predators. The abundance of induced responses in these experiments suggests that predator-induced responses are a widespread and ecologically important phenomenon of the freshwater zooplankton. 相似文献

The present study sought to examine the mechanism of substance P to modulate the antinociceptive action of intrathecal (i.t.) morphine in paw-licking/biting response evoked by subcutaneous injection of capsaicin into the plantar surface of the hindpaw in mice. The i.t. injection of morphine inhibited capsaicin-induced licking/biting response in a dose-dependent manner. Substance P (25 and 50 pmol) injected i.t. alone did not alter capsaicin-induced nociception, whereas substance P at a higher dose of 100 pmol significantly reduced the capsaicin response. Western blots showed the constitutive expression of endopeptidase-24.11 in the dorsal and ventral parts of lumbar spinal cord of mice. The N-terminal fragment of substance P (1–7), which is known as a major product of substance P by endopeptidase-24.11, was more effective than substance P on capsaicin-induced nociception. Combination treatment with substance P (50 pmol) and morphine at a subthreshold dose enhanced the antinociceptive effect of morphine. The enhanced effect of the combination of substance P with morphine was reduced significantly by co-administration of phosphoramidon, an inhibitor of endopeptidase-24.11. Administration of d-isomer of substance P (1–7), [d-Pro2, d-Phe7]substance P (1–7), an inhibitor of [3H] substance P (1–7) binding, or antisera against substance P (1–7) reversed the enhanced antinociceptive effect by co-administration of substance P and morphine. Taken together these data suggest that morphine-induced antinociception may be enhanced through substance P (1–7) formed by the enzymatic degradation of i.t. injected substance P in the spinal cord. 相似文献

The effects of α,β-amyrin, a pentacyclic triterpene isolated from Protium heptaphylum was investigated on rat model of orofacial pain induced by formalin or capsaicin. Rats were pretreated with α,β-amyrin (10, 30, and 100 mg/kg, i.p.), morphine (5 mg/kg, s.c.) or vehicle (3% Tween 80), before formalin (20 μl, 1.5%) or capsaicin (20 μl, 1.5 μg) injection into the right vibrissa. In vehicle-treated controls, formalin induced a biphasic nociceptive face-rubbing behavioral response with an early first phase (0–5 min) and a late second phase (10–20 min) appearance, whereas capsaicin produced an immediate face-rubbing (grooming) behavior that was maximal at 10–20 min. Treatment with α,β-amyrin or morphine significantly inhibited the face-rubbing response in both test models. While morphine produced significant antinociception in both phases of formalin test, α,β-amyrin inhibited only the second phase response, more prominently at 30 mg/kg, in a naloxone-sensitive manner. In contrast, α,β-amyrin produced much greater antinociceptive effect at 100 mg/kg in the capsaicin test, which was also naloxone-sensitive. These results provide first time evidence to show that α,β-amyrin attenuates orofacial pain atleast, in part, through a peripheral opioid mechanism but warrants further detailed study for its utility in painful orofacial pathologies. 相似文献

We studied the relationship between counts of Panonychus ulmi (Koch) winter eggs per bud and mite-days per leaf accumulated in early to mid-summer on 92–96 apple trees in an orchard in
Quebec, Canada. Stepwise regression was used to compute mite-days in the 4 year (1992–1995) data set using winter egg density,
cumulative rainfall (R), cumulative degree-days (D), squared values of R and of D, and the product RD as potential predictors. Degree-days were accumulated above 10.1°C, the minimum threshold of development for P. ulmi in Eastern Canada. The 4-year model that gave the best fit included terms for winter eggs, rainfall, R
2, and the product RD, and explained 76% of the variation in mite-days. When the 4-year model was applied to each year’s data separately, winter
eggs, adjusted for current year rainfall and degree-days, were always highly significant predictors of mite-days. These significant
effects of weather indicate that estimation of potential economic loss should take account of rainfall and heat units, as
well as the density of winter eggs. Predators, including the stigmaeid, Agistemus fleschneri Summers, and occasional low numbers of phytoseiids, did not have any evident within-season effect on mite-days but their
appearance in July–September of 1994 was followed by a ten-fold decrease in the mean density of winter eggs in 1995 compared
with the previous spring. This reduction contrasted with increasing densities each successive spring from 1992 to 1994, which
followed summers when predators were scarce or absent. 相似文献

We compared the virulence of the entomopathogenic nematodes Steinernema scarabaei, Heterorhabditis zealandica, and Heterorhabditis bacteriophora (GPS11 and TF strains) against third instars of the Japanese beetle, Popillia japonica, the oriental beetle, Anomala (=Exomala) orientalis, the northern masked chafer, Cyclocephala borealis, the European chafer, Rhizotrogus majalis, and the Asiatic garden beetle, Maladera castanea, in laboratory and greenhouse experiments. The virulence of the nematode species relative to each other differed greatly among white grub species. H. bacteriophora and H. zealandica had similar modest virulence to P. japonica, A. orientalis, C. borealis, and M. castanea. But against R. majalis, H. zealandica showed low virulence with a clear concentration response whereas H. bacteriophora caused only erratic and very low mortality. In contrast, S. scarabaei had modest virulence against C. borealis, but was highly virulent against R. majalis, P. japonica, A. orientalis, and M. castanea with R. majalis being the most susceptible and M. castanea the least susceptible. 相似文献

Summary The lubber grasshopper,Romalea guttata, is large, aposematic, and extremely toxic. In feeding trials with 21 bird and lizard species, none were able to consume this chemically defended prey. Predators that attempted to eat lubbers, often gagged, regurgitated, and sometimes died. Loggerhead shrikes,Lanius ludovicianus, regularly impale this toxic prey in peninsular Florida. They, like other bird species, are unable to consume fresh lubbers. However, our tests show that they are able to consume lubbers if the prey are allowed to age for 1–2 days. This suggests that lubber toxins degrade following death and that shrike impaling behaviour serves as a preadaptation for overcoming the toxic defences of this large and abundant prey. These results also imply that counter adaptations against chemical defences need not involve major morphological or metabolic specializations, but that simple behavioural traits can enable a predator to utilize toxic prey. 相似文献

Amphibian opiate peptides including dermorphins and deltorpins have been recently found only in the skin of South American frogs belonging to the subfamily Phyllomedusinae (Phyllomedusa, Agalychnis and Pachymedusa species). No opiate peptides have ever been identified from other amphibians or organs except skin. Here we report the purification and characterization of a novel antinociceptive peptide named odorranaopin from the homogenates of the frog brains, Odorrana grahami, which is also the first antinociceptive peptide found in Ranidae amphibian. Odorranaopin comprises 17 amino acid residues with the sequence of DYTIRTRLHQESSRKVL (Mr 2102 Da). The cDNA encoding odorranaopin was cloned from the frog brain cDNA library, and it was confirmed to be a specific gene. The odorranaopin precursor deduced is composed of 61 amino acid residues including the predicted signal peptide, acidic spacer peptide and mature odorranaopin positioned at the C-terminus. Odorranaopin could inhibit nociceptive responses induced by formalin and acetic acid. It also inhibited the contractile responses of ileum smooth muscle induced by bradykinin, implying that the antinociceptive activity of odorranaopin possibly results from its blockade on bradykinin or bradykinin receptor functions. Odorranaopin is the first antinociceptive peptide found in Ranidae amphibian. 相似文献

The responses of Gracilaria lemaneiformis, an easily epiphytized host,and the relatively resistant G. cornea mutant, to the green alga Ulva lactuca were studied using biculture experiments with and withoutantibiotics. Both Gracilaria species grown with and without U.lactuca showed different levels of growth rate, release of hydrogenperoxide and of halogenated hydrocarbons. These quantitative differencesled to a successful response against Ulva lactuca in the case of G.cornea mutant and to a failure in response in the case of G.lemaneiformis. The response of each Gracilaria species to U.lactuca was qualitatively similar to its response to bacteria. This suggeststhe involvement of oligosaccharide elicitors produced in the presence ofepiphytes and bacteria. A clear Gracilaria inhibition was demonstratedwith extracts of the culture medium. It appears that hydrogen peroxide,halogenated hydrocarbons and oligosaccharides may be components of theinhibitory activity of the extracts. The responses of Gracilaria speciesto the presence of U. lactuca suggest the characterization of adefence response. 相似文献

Crude aqueous methanol extracts obtained from 31 species of various marine organisms (including flora land faunal), were screened for their antifungal activity against food poisoning strains of Aspergillus. Seventeen species exhibited mild (+ =zone of inhibition 1–2 mm) to significant (+++ =zone of inhibition 3–5 mm) activity against one or the other strain under experiment. However, extracts of 12 species were active against all the three strains. Organisms like Salicornia brachiata(obligate halophyte), Sinularia leptocladus(Soft coral), Elysia grandifolia (Mollusks),Gorgonian sp. 2 and Haliclona sp. exhibited significant (inhibition zone of 3–5 mm) antifungal activity against one or the other strains. However,extracts of A. ilicifolius, Amphiroa sp.,Poryphyra sp., Unidentified sponge, Suberites vestigium, Sinularia compressa,Sunularia sp., Sinularia maxima, Subergorgia suberosa, Echinogorgia pseudorassopo and Sabellaria cementifera were mild (inhibition zone of 1–2 mm) to moderate(inhibition zone of 2–3 mm) active against the respective strains. The growth of A. japonicuswas significantly inhibited by the extracts ofS. leptocladus (r = 0.992, p < 0.0001)and E. grandifolia (r = 0.989, p < 0.0001).This revised version was published online in October 2005 with corrections to the Cover Date. 相似文献

In response to wildlife mortality including unexplained eared grebe (Podiceps nigricollis) die-off events in 1992 and 1994 and other mortality events including large fish kills, a survey was conducted for the presence of algal toxins in the Salton Sea. Goals of this survey were to determine if and when algal toxins are present in the Salton Sea and to describe the phytoplankton composition during those times. A total of 29 samples was collected for toxicity analysis from both nearshore and midlake sites visited biweekly from January to December 1999. Dinoflagellates and diatoms dominated most samples, but some were dominated by a prymnesiophyte (Pleurochrysis pseudoroscoffensis) or a raphidophyte (Chattonella marina). Several types of blooms were observed and sampled. The dinoflagellate Gyrodinium uncatenum formed an extensive, dense (up to 310000 cells ml–1) and long-lasting bloom during the winter in 1999. A coccolithophorid, Pleurochrysis pseudoroscoffensis, occurred at high densities in surface films and nearshore areas during the spring and summer of 1999. These surface films also contained high densities of one or two other species (an unidentified scrippsielloid, Heterocapsa niei, Chattonella marina). Localized blooms were also observed in the Salton Sea. An unknown small dinoflagellate reached high densities (110000 cells ml–1) inside Varner Harbor, and an unidentified species of Gymnodinium formed a dense (270000 cells ml–1) band along part of the southern shoreline during the summer. Three species known to produce toxins in other systems were found. Protoceratium reticulatum (=Gonyaulax grindleyi) and Chattonella marina were found in several samples taken during summer months, and Prorocentrum minimum was found in low densities in several samples. Extracts of most samples, including those containing known toxic species, showed a low level (<10% mortality across all concentrations) of activity in the brine shrimp lethality assay and were not considered toxic. All sample extracts tested in the mouse bioassay showed no activity. One sample extract taken from the bloom of the small dinoflagellate was highly active (100% mortality across all concentrations) in the brine shrimp lethality assay, but the active material could not be isolated. While dense algal blooms are common at the Salton Sea, no evidence gathered in this study suggests that algal toxins are present within phytoplankton cells; however, toxins actively excreted by cells may have been missed. Blooms of phytoplankton likely contribute to wildlife mortality at the Salton Sea. Possible mechanisms including intoxication due to ingestion of feathers in grebes and waterlogging caused by changes in surface tension are discussed. 相似文献

Summary Tuberculosis is a leading killer disease of the world with increasing mortality due to HIV-infected individuals becoming highly prone to this infection. An attempt has been made in the present work to identify novel plant-derived compounds active against Mycobacterium tuberculosis (MTB) through construction of a target based bio-screen to facilitate rapid screening of anti-TB plant compounds. To achieve this, construction of a genetically modified model system was attempted in fast growing, non-pathogenic, Escherichia coli in which experimental testing is relatively easier and rapid as compared to M. tuberculosis, which is pathogenic and slow growing in nature. The exquisitely high sensitivity of M. tuberculosis to isoniazid (INH) has been attributed to lesions in oxyR, a gene that positively regulates the expression of a set of hydrogen peroxide-inducible genes in E. coli and S. typhimurium. Moreover in the mechanism of emergence of INH resistance in M. tuberculosis, oxidative stress response has been implicated. In this study, mutants of E. coli defective in oxidative stress response function were derived and used to screen plant compounds, which might interfere with the oxidative stress response in MTB. Since MTB is inherently known to be oxyR defective and thus being highly sensitive to INH, mutants defective in oxidative stress response were isolated to construct a model system in E. coli, which is otherwise INH resistant, having functional oxyR. These mutants showed simultaneous sensitivity to oxidative stress-causing agents like hydrogen peroxide and cumene hydroperoxide. To further define the mutational lesions, complementation studies were carried out through mobilization of cloned wild type genes involved in the oxidative stress response and in this way a biological screen was constructed to identify plant compounds/essential oils/extracts/oil components which induce oxidative stress. The positives were finally tested for activity against M. tuberculosis strain H37Rv using the radiometric BACTEC 460 TB system. Interestingly, the bioactives were found to be active against the pathogen with marked potency, as the reduction in δGI values for the identified bioactives against M. tuberculosis were significant. The study demonstrates application of a specific target-based genetic model system in E. coli as a rapid high throughput screen in identifying anti-mycobacterials from plants. 相似文献

The motility and step-down photophobic responses of Euglena are influenced by inorganic and organic anions. Persistent motility (with Ca2+, Mg2+ and K+ present) is supported with chloride or sulfate but not with acetate, nitrate or propionate as the only added anions. Cells in media containing acetate displayed a cell aggregation (clumping) behavior that was both red light sensitive and, under some conditions, was accompanied by suppression of the step-down photophobic response. Addition of sodium salts (Cl-, SO

based media had differential effects on the duration of the step-down photophobic responses induced by blue light removal: anions alter the response. In addition, cells in all Cl- containing media showed constant photophobic response duration following repeated stimulation. Cells in some SO4
2- containing media, however, showed response summation to repeated stimulation. This latter effect was reversible and was overcome by the addition of chloride anions. 相似文献

Plant secondary metabolites, including pharmaceuticals, flavorings and aromas, are often produced in response to stress. We
used chemical inducers of the pathogen defense response (jasmonic acid, salicylate, killed fungi, oligosaccharides and the
fungal elicitor protein, cryptogein) to increase metabolite and biomass production in transformed root cultures of the medicinal
plant, Withania somnifera, and the weed, Convolvulus sepium. In an effort to genetically mimic the observed effects of cryptogein, we employed Agrobacterium rhizogenes to insert a synthetic gene encoding cryptogein into the roots of C. sepium, W. somnifera and Tylophora tanakae. This genetic transformation was associated with stimulation in both secondary metabolite production and growth in the first
two species, and in growth in the third. In whole plants of Convolvulus arvensis and Arabidopsis thaliana, transformation with the cryptogein gene led, respectively, to increases in the calystegines and certain flavonoids. A similar
transgenic mimicry of pathogen attack was previously employed to stimulate resistance to the pathogen and abiotic stress.
In the present study of biochemical phenotype, we show that transgenic mimicry is correlated with increased secondary metabolite
production in transformed root cultures and whole plants. We propose that natural transformation with genes encoding the production
of microbial elicitors could influence interactions between plants and other organisms. 相似文献

Three antifouling active compounds of L-pyroglutamic acid (PGA), triethyl citrate (TEC) and di-n-octylphthalate (DNOP) were isolated from the brown seaweed Ishige okamurae. Approximately 2.8 mg PGA, 1.7 mg TEC, and 2.0 mg DNOP were isolated from 600 g of I. okamurae powder. The concentrations of PGA, TEC, and DNOP required to cause foot repulsion in 50% of mussels (RD50) were 9, 26, and 0.08 mM, respectively. The PGA, TEC, and DNOP concentrations required to inhibit 50% attachment of algal
spores (ID50) were 24, 50 and 0.1 mM, respectively. These compounds showed stable antifouling activities against mussel and algal spore
attachment. 相似文献
