The membrane potentials, rates of NAD(P)H formation, and rates of flavoprotein reduction have been measured for single mitochondria isolated from porcine hearts. These metabolic responses were elicited by the addition of malate and measured using fluorescence microscopy. For the measurements of mitochondrial membrane potential, mitochondria were stained with tetramethylrhodamine ethyl ester, and the membrane potentials of single mitochondria were determined. Individual mitochondria maintained the membrane potential at around -80 mV before addition of malate. Upon the addition of malate, each mitochondrion was rapidly polarized to around -100 approximately -140 mV and underwent repeated cycles of polarization and depolarization, which were probably caused by openings and closings of permeability transition pores. NAD(P)(+) and flavoprotein were reduced immediately after addition of malate and then slowly became reoxidized. Thus, single mitochondria can undergo rapid and repetitive changes in membrane potential, but not in the redox state of NAD(P)H and flavoprotein. 相似文献

Developmental expression of the putative transcription factor Egr-1 suggests that Egr-1 and c-fos are coregulated in some tissues 总被引:3,自引:0,他引:3

We have investigated developmental expression of the gene Egr-1, which encodes a protein containing three zinc fingers. Egr-1 like c-fos is a serum inducible, early response gene, which is co-induced with c-fos in a variety of quite different situations. A single 3.7-kb RNA was detected throughout fetal mouse development, which increased in absolute levels in total fetal RNA from 9.5 to 12.5 days post coitum (p.c.). In situ hybridization to 14.5- and 17.5-day p.c. fetal tissues demonstrated Egr-1 accumulation at several specific sites. These included mesenchymal components of the developing tooth germs and salivary and nasal glands; an ectodermally derived component of the whisker pad and developing muscle, cartilage, and bone. Expression of Egr-1 in cartilage and bone showed a strikingly similar expression to previously published reports of c-fos in these tissues. High levels of Egr-1 RNA was observed at the perichondrial interface of opposing cartilaginous elements and in interstitial cells that lie in between. Bone expression was observed in membranous bone of the head, alveolar bone around the tooth germs, and at periosteal and endochondral ossification sites in the limb bones. Our data support the idea that Egr-1 and c-fos may be coregulated in vivo and together may regulate normal development of the skeleton. 相似文献

TTF-1 is a member of the NKx family of homeodomain genes, and is required for morphogenesis and fetal diencephalon development. Our previous studies have shown that TTF-1 expression is maintained in some regions of the postnatal rat brain and transactivates the gene expression of several neuropeptides. In this study, a potential role for TTF-1 in the regulation of feeding behavior was identified. Immunohistochemical analysis showed that TTF-1 is present in several hypothalamic nuclei of the adult rat brain involved in the control of feeding behavior. Food deprivation for two days markedly increased the hypothalamic levels of TTF-1 mRNA and protein. Intracerebroventricular administration of an antisense TTF-1 oligodeoxynucleotide significantly decreased TTF-1 protein abundance in the hypothalamus. This TTF-1 decrease was followed by a significant decrease in neuropeptide Y mRNA content and an increase in proopiomelanocortin mRNA content, and in turn resulted in a decrease of the animal's food intake and body weight. These results suggest a novel role for TTF-1 in the regulation of feeding behavior in the rat hypothalamus. 相似文献
