Blue light (wavelength 350-480 nm) irradiation of the early mitotic (prophase and prometaphase) tissue culture cells at the dose of 50-3000 J/cm2 delay mitosis or completely block it at the metaphase. Cell sensitivity to the near UV light (wavelength 360 nm) was few times more as compared with the sensitivity to the visible light (wavelength 400-480 nm). Mitotic cells irradiated with the green light (wavelength more than 500 nm; dose up to 7500 J/cm2) completed division normally. The effect of the blue light did not depend on the presence of phenol red in tissue culture medium. Rhodamin 123 staining did not show any changes in the mitochondrial system in the irradiated mitotic cells. Blue light irradiation with the dose enough for the induction of mitotic delay appears to be insufficient to affect the proliferation of interphase cells. 相似文献

The effect of ultraviolet radiation (UV-A, 360 nm) on the thrombin-induced aggregation of washed pig platelets as well as on the release of adenine nucleotides and proteins was studied. The level in platelets of adenine nucleotides, mainly ADP and ATP, decreased rapidly following the exposure of platelets to a high dose of UV-A (0.5 W/cm2, 30 min). Through thrombin-induced aggregation of irradiated platelets was inhibited, the release reaction occurred. The amount of the released adenine nucleotides and proteins was, however, dependent on the dose of UV light. These findings suggest that UV-A light can stimulate the platelet release reaction. 相似文献

Irradiation with UV-A of normal human fibroblasts in phosphate-buffered saline induced cell death, measured as lack of colony-forming ability. A specially filtered sunlamp, emitting wavelengths greater than 330 nm, was used as UV-A source. After UV-A irradiation, single-strand breaks (alkali-labile bonds) could be detected in DNA; these lesions were rapidly repaired. The induction of these single-strand breaks was almost eliminated when irradiation was performed in the presence of catalase. However, catalase, when present during UV-A irradiation, did not reduce cell death of the fibroblasts. Excision repair, monitored as unscheduled DNA synthesis, was induced strongly by irradiation with UV-C (predominantly 254 nm), but could not be detected after UV-A irradiation. Moreover, very little accumulation of incision breaks during post-irradiation incubation with hydroxyurea and 1-beta-D-arabinofuranosylcytosine (araC) was detected after UV-A. This is consistent with the low amount of pyrimidine dimers (measured as UV-endonuclease susceptible sites) induced by UV-A. Xeroderma pigmentosum fibroblasts of complementation group A, which are extremely sensitive to UV-C irradiation, showed the same sensitivity to UV-A as normal fibroblasts. The results indicate that lethality by UV-A wavelengths greater than 330 nm is caused by lesions other than single-strand breaks (alkali-labile bonds) and pyrimidine dimers. 相似文献

UV irradiation has been shown to activate the human immunodeficiency virus type 1 (HIV-1) long terminal repeat (LTR) in cell culture; however, only limited studies have been described in vivo. UV light has been categorized as UV-A (400 to 315 nm), -B (315 to 280 nm), or -C (less than 280 nm); the longer wavelengths are less harmful but more penetrative. Highly penetrative UV-A radiation constitutes the vast majority of UV sunlight reaching the earth's surface but is normally harmless. UV-B irradiation is more harmful but less prevalent than UV-A. In this report, the HIV-1 LTR-luciferase gene in the skin of transgenic mice was markedly activated when exposed to UV-B irradiation. The LTR in the skin of transgenic mice pretreated topically with a photosensitizing agent (psoralen) was also activated to similar levels when exposed to UV-A light. A 2-h exposure to sunlight activated the LTR in skin treated with psoralen, whereas the LTR in skin not treated with psoralen was activated after 7 h of sunlight exposure. The HIV-1 LTR-beta-galactosidase reporter gene was preferentially activated by UV-B irradiation in a small population of epidermal cells. The transgenic mouse models carrying HIV-1 LTR-luciferase and LTR-beta-galactosidase reporter genes have been used to demonstrate the in vivo UV-induced activation of the LTR and might be used to evaluate other environmental factors or pharmacologic substances that might potentially activate the HIV-1 LTR in vivo. 相似文献

It was shown that macrophage irradiation in 4.6 J/cm2 (lambda(max) = 306 nm) dose leads to small quantity of damaged cells in cell population, which doesn't change substantially during 60 min of incubation in darkness. So as detergent digitonin treatment (without irradiation) in 3 mkg/ml concentration doesn't lead to substantial cell damage. Also the result of combined influence of UV-irradiation and digitonin added after irradiation, 15 min before the damaged cells counting, has been got. It was shown that macrophage incubation for 15 minutes leads to cell damaging twice as much sum of UV (4.6 J/cm2) and digitonin (3 mkg/ml) damaging. However the level of cell damaging obtained 30 minutes later after finishing of irradiation doesn't exceed the sum of separate effects of this factors. Further increase of postradiation time leads to synergic effect again. 相似文献

Photocatalysis mediated by the anatase modification of titanium dioxide (TiO2) has shown antibacterial effects in medical applications. The aim of this study was to investigate the possibility of expanding the excitation wavelengths for photocatalytic antibacterial effects from ultraviolet (UV) into the visible light range. After deposition of salivary pellicle and adhesion of Streptococcus gordonii on anatase, different irradiation protocols were applied to induce photocatalysis: ultraviolet A (UV-A) > 320 nm; ultraviolet/visible (UV-A/VIS) light > 380 nm and > 390 nm; and VIS light 400–410 nm. A quartz crystal microbalance with dissipation (QCM-D) tests and microscopic examination were used to observe the photoinduced antibacterial effects. Salivary pellicle could be photocatalytically decomposed under all irradiation protocols. In contrast, effective photocatalytic attack of bacteria could be observed by UV-A as well as by UV-A/VIS at 380 nm < λ < 390 nm only. Wavelengths above 380 nm show promise for in situ therapeutic antifouling applications. 相似文献

Influence of solar ultraviolet radiation on photosynthesis and motility of marine phytoplankton 总被引:2,自引:0,他引:2
Abstract: The effects of solar ultraviolet radiation (UV) on carbon uptake, oxygen evolution and motility of marine phytoplankton were investigated in coastal waters at Kristineberg Marine Research Station on the west coast of Sweden (58° 30'N, 11° 30'E). The mean irradiances at noon above the water surface during the investigation period were: photosynthetic active radiation (PAR, 400–700 nm) 1670 μmol m−2 s−1 ; ultraviolet-A radiation (UV-A, 320–400 nm) 35.9 W m−2 and ultraviolet-B radiation (UV-B, 280–320 nm) 1.7 W m−2 . UV-B radiation was much more attenuated with depth in the water column than were PAR and UV-A radiation. UV-B radiation could not be detected at depths greater than 100–150 cm. Inhibition of carbon uptake by UV-A and UV-B in natural phytoplankton populations was greatest at 50 cm depth and the effects of UV-B were greater than those of UV-A. At depths greater than 50 cm there was almost no effect of ultraviolet radiation on carbon uptake. PAR, UV-A and UV-B decreased oxygen evolution by the dinoflagellate Prorocentrum minimum . Inhibition of oxygen evolution was greater after 4 h than 2 h but it was not possible to distinguish the negative effects of the different light regimes. The motility of P. minimum was not affected by PAR, UV-A and UV-B. The importance of exposure of phytoplankton to different light regimes before being exposed to natural solar radiation is discussed. 相似文献

Photobiomodulation (PBM) using red or near-infrared (NIR) light has been used to stimulate the proliferation and differentiation of adipose-derived stem cells. The use of NIR wavelengths such as 810 nm is reasonably well accepted to stimulate mitochondrial activity and ATP production via absorption of photons by cytochrome c oxidase. However, the mechanism of action of 980 nm is less well understood. Here we study the effects of both wavelengths (810 nm and 980 nm) on adipose-derived stem cells in vitro. Both wavelengths showed a biphasic dose response, but 810 nm had a peak dose response at 3 J/cm2 for stimulation of proliferation at 24 h, while the peak dose for 980 nm was 10–100 times lower at 0.03 or 0.3 J/cm2. Moreover, 980 nm (but not 810 nm) increased cytosolic calcium while decreasing mitochondrial calcium. The effects of 980 nm could be blocked by calcium channel blockers (capsazepine for TRPV1 and SKF96365 for TRPC channels), which had no effect on 810 nm. To test the hypothesis that the chromophore for 980 nm was intracellular water, which could possibly form a microscopic temperature gradient upon laser irradiation, we added cold medium (4 °C) during the light exposure, or pre-incubated the cells at 42 °C, both of which abrogated the effect of 980 nm but not 810 nm. We conclude that 980 nm affects temperature-gated calcium ion channels, while 810 nm largely affects mitochondrial cytochrome c oxidase. 相似文献

Red laser light (lambda = 633 nm) in a dose of 9.5 mJ/cm2 defends quail's embryo from X-ray irradiation (8.5 Gr). It is expressed in the 1.9 times decrease of embryo mortality on early term of incubation and 1.6 times increase of hatch in a group of embryos, which were affected by X-rays and laser radiation compared with an embryo, irradiated only by X-rays. Repeated laser irradiation of adult quails (dose 21 J) after CCl4-intoxication led to normalization of hydroxylation and antioxidant systems functions. 相似文献

Liquid cultures of the terrestrial cyanobacterium Nostoc commune derived from field material were treated with artificial UV-B and UV-A irradiation. We studied the induction of various pigments which are though to provide protection against damaging UV-B irradiation. First, UV-B irradiation induced an increase in carotenoids, especially echinenone and myxoxanthophyll, but did not influence production of chlorophyll a. Second, an increase of an extracellular, water-soluble UV-A/B-absorbing mycosporine occurred, which was associated with extracellular glycan synthesis. Finally, synthesis of scytonemin, a lipid-soluble, extracellular pigment known to function as a UV-A sunscreen, was observed. After long-time exposure, the UV-B effect on carotenoid and scytonemin synthesis ceased whereas the mycosporine content remained constantly high. The UV-B sunscreen mycosporine is exclusively induced by UV-B (< 315 nm). The UV-A sunscreen scytonemin is induced only slightly by UV-B (< 315 nm), very strongly by near UV-A (350 to 400 nm), and not at all by far UV-A (320 to 350 nm). These results may indicate that the syntheses of these UV sunscreens are triggered by different UV photoreceptors. 相似文献

Preillumination of excised spinach leaves with red light increases resistance of photosynthetic apparatus to UV radiation 总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1

Leaves of spinach (Spinacia oleracea, cv. Ispolinskii) were preilluminated by low-intensity light (1.0 and 1.5 W/m2, 0.5?C3.0 h) with wavelengths ranging from 530 to 730 nm to study the effect of this pretreatment on the activity of photosystem II (PS II), content of photosynthetic pigments, and peroxidase activity in excised leaves exposed to UV-A irradiation. Irradiation of leaves with UV-A suppressed the activity of PS II, reduced the content of chlorophylls (a + b) and carotenoids, and increased the peroxidase activity. Preillumination of leaves with red light (RL, 620?C660 nm) alleviated the inhibitory action of UV-A on PS II activity and reduced the pigment losses but increased the peroxidase activity in leaves and thylakoid membrane preparations, as compared to the respective effects of UV-A light applied without preillumination. The preexposure of leaves to red light alternating with far-red light (FR, 730 nm) removed partly the influence of RL on the parameters under study, which indicates the involvement of phytochrome active form, PFR into stress-induced defense responses in leaves. It is supposed that elevated resistance of photosynthetic apparatus to UV-A radiation was formed with the involvement of PFR and the antioxidant system induced by oxidative stress after preillumination of leaves with red light 相似文献

Oropharyngeal candidiasis (OPC) is an infection frequent in immunocompromised patients. Photodynamic therapy is an alternative to conventional treatments, based on the utilization of compounds that inhibit or kill microorganisms only under the effect of light, process known as Photodynamic Inactivation (PDI). In the present study, PDI of Candida spp. by the natural product α-terthienyl (α-T) was investigated following the guidelines of CLSI M27-A3, under UV-A light irradiation.The optimal values of two variables, exposure irradiation time (ET) and distance to the irradiation source (DIS) were established by employing Design Expert Software (DES). For this purpose, a panel of Candida strains isolated from OPC (C. albicans, C. tropicalis, C. parapsilosis and C. krusei) was employed and optimal values were 5 min (ET) and between 6.06 and 6.43 cm (DIS) with a desirability factor of 0.989. α-T plus UV-A light in the optimal conditions caused a complete reduction in viable cells in 5 min which was demonstrated by viable cells reduction assays and confocal microscopy after vital staining (propidium iodide/fluorescein diacetate). The germ tube formation of C. albicans was inhibited by α-T at sub-inhibitory concentrations. Results showed that α-T plus UV-A light could constitute an alternative for OPC treatments at the optimal conditions determined here. 相似文献

We have examined the indirect effects of UV-A and UV-B on cypris attachment of the barnacle Balanus amphitrite Darwin through their effects on microbial films. Specifically, we tested the hypothesis that both UV-A and UV-B radiation can indirectly affect the larval attachment of barnacles by altering the microbial film bioactivity. Microbial films were developed from mid-intertidal region (∼1 m above Mean Low Water Level) for 6 days and subjected to ambient levels of ultraviolet radiation. Response of cyprids to untreated and UV-treated microbial films was investigated using double-dish still water choice bioassay. Results showed that both UV-A and UV-B caused a decrease in the percentage of respiring bacterial cells in microbial films and this effect increased with UV energy. With the same UV energy, UV-B caused a greater decrease in respiring bacterial cells than UV-A. However, despite strong UV radiation, the bioactivities of microbial films (i.e., stimulation of cypris attachment) remain unchanged. Results of this study suggest that increased UV radiation, which might occur due to ozone depletion, may not significantly affect the barnacle recruitment by means of affecting the inductive larval attachment cues of microbial films. 相似文献

Effects of ambient solar UV radiation in the field and of artifical UV irradiation under controlled laboratory conditions were studied with natural phytoplankton populations from Helgoland, German Bight, North Sea. The pattern of pigments varied after UV-A or UV-B plus a low dose of UV-A radiation: UV-A usually induced a stimulation of pigment biosynthesis; whereas UV-B plus UV-A led to a reduction of the contents of chlorophyll a, diadinoxanthin, fucoxanthin, peridinin and an unknown carotenoid; content of diatoxanthin was significantly enhanced. The damaging effect on nitrogen assimilation by UV was more pronounced after artificial UV-B plus UV-A irradiance compared to the influence of ambient solar UV under field conditions. The uptake of inorganic nitrogen was dependent on the dose and exposure time of UV radiation as well as on the species composition. The uptake of 15N-nitrate by natural phytoplankton collected in spring was more sensitive to UV irradiation than the assimilation of 15N-ammonium. UV-A radiation with a small part of shorter wavelengths at 315 nm (Philips-lamps in conjunction with the cut-off filter WG 320) caused a reduction of up to 12% whereas a stimulation of the 15NH4+ uptake was observed after exposure to UV-A without any UV-B (Philips lamps TL 60W/09N). Pattern of 15N-incorporation into free amino acids and pool sizes varied in dependence on the applied nitrogen compound and on the irradiation conditions. The impact of UV radiation on the pattern of 15N-Iabelled free amino acids and the pool sizes was different. 15N enrichment into all the tested amino acids was reduced after 5 h UV-B plus UV-A exposure and after application of 15NH4+. A depression of the glutamate and glutamine pools was observed after addition of 15N-nitrate alone. Pools of all main amino acids from phytoplankton in summer 1993/94 were inhibited by UV irradiance. Results are discussed with reference to the UV target (e.g. enzymes, pigments) and the adaptation to the environmental conditions. 相似文献

An action spectrum for photoinduction of perithecial formationafter a prior 72 h dark growth period was determined in theUV region with apically growing mycelia of a sordariaceous fungus,Gelasinospora reticulispora. The spectrum exhibited a peak at280 nm. Quantum effectiveness of 280 nm irradiation was ca.1.7 times higher than that of 450 nm light. The number of peritheciainduced by UV radiation was saturated at a lower level as comparedwith blue light. UV radiation having a fluence greater thanthe saturation level decreased the number of induced perithecia.UV radiation that was given after a saturating exposure to inductiveblue light inhibited the inductive effect of blue light. Anaction spectrum for this inhibition exhibited a peak between260 and 270 nm. Monochromatic light beyond 350 nm had no inhibitoryeffect. Inhibitory effects of UV radiation given after inductiveblue light irradiation were observed in the fluence range wherephotoinductive effects of UV radiation became obvious. Therefore,the true height of the UV peak in the photoinduction actionspectrum,when free of distortion from the inhibitory effect, should behigher than the peak obtained in this study.

The mobility of lectin receptors and of two types of ion channels was studied in skeletal muscles of the frog Rana temporaria. Lectin receptors were labeled with fluorescent derivatives of succinyl-concanavalin A (Con A) or wheat germ agglutinin (WGA), and their mobility was measured by fluorescence recovery after photobleaching. Of the receptors for WGA, approximately 53% were free to diffuse in the plane of the membrane, with an average diffusion coefficient as found in other preparations (D = 6.4 X 10(-11) cm2/s). Con A receptors were not measurably mobile. The mobility of voltage-dependent Na and K (delayed rectifier) channels was investigated with the loose-patch clamp method, coupled with through-the-pipette photodestruction of channels by ultraviolet (UV) light. Na channels were not measurably mobile (D less than or equal to 10(-12) cm2/s). With K channels, photodestruction was followed by a small but consistent recovery of K current, which suggested that some K channels diffused in the plane of the membrane. Our results with K currents are best fit if 25% of the K channels diffuse with D = 5 X 10(-11) cm2/s, with the remainder being immobile. For both Na and K channels, photodestruction by UV was most effective at a wavelength of approximately 289 nm. At this wavelength, the energy density required for an e-fold reduction in the number of functional channels was 0.40 J/cm2 for Na channels and 0.94 J/cm2 for K channels. Irradiation at this wavelength and dose did not measurably diminish the mobility of WGA receptors; hence, the immobility of Na and most K channels is not due to UV irradiation. It is concluded that mobile and immobile membrane proteins coexist in the sarcolemma of frog skeletal muscle, and that voltage-dependent Na and K channels are singled out for immobilization. 相似文献

In experiments in vitro, the effects of polychromatic visible (VIS) light combined with polychromatic infrared light (VIS-IR, 480–3400 nm) and the effects of the entire spectrum of VIS radiation (385–750 nm) on viability and proliferative activity of the murine hepatoma cells MH22a were studied. In experiments in vivo, changes in the tumorigenic properties of cells MH22a were studied after the same kinds of light exposure. It was shown that irradiation of hepatoma cells with two kinds of polychromatic light at a wide range of doses (4.8–38.4 J/cm2) did not lead to an increase in the number of dead cells for 24–72 h of cultivation and did not cause deceleration of the hepatoma cell proliferation; moreover, the VIS-IR light at a dose of 4.8 J/cm2 and the VIS light at a dose 38.4 J/cm2 even promoted more intense cell proliferation after 24 h. In cells irradiated with VIS-IR and VIS light, the proliferation index rose by 1.6 and 1.4 times, respectively, and the time of the cells’ number doubling decreased as compared with control. Studying the tumorigenic properties of irradiated tumor cells has shown that, for 30 days after transplantation to syngenic mice C3HA of hepatoma cells 24 h after their irradiation with VIS-IR light at a dose of 4.8 J/cm2, the tumor volume decreased significantly (2.6–4.1 times) at all periods of observation, while the incidence of tumor formation decreased, whereas the survival of the tumor-bearing mice did not change. Transplantation of cells irradiated with the same light at a dose of 9.6 J/cm2 did not lead to significant changes in the tumor volume, the tumor formation incidence, and animal survival. The main contribution to the antitumor effect of VIS-IR light seems to be made by the VIS component, as transplantation into mice of cells irradiated with VIS light alone at a dose of 38.4 J/cm2 also stimulating proliferation of hepatoma cells in vitro resulted in a decrease of their tumorigenic properties. However, the IR component in the combined VIS-IR radiation enhanced the antitumor effect of the VIS light; as a result, it was manifested after use of doses eight times lower (4.8 J/cm2) than in the case of VIS light alone (38.4 J/cm2). Mechanisms of the decrease of tumorigenic properties of hepatoma cells after irradiation with polychromatic light at doses stimulating their proliferation in vitro are studied. 相似文献

To investigate the role of DNA damage in the pathogenesis of systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE), we studied the ability of skin fibroblasts derived from SLE patients to recover from ultraviolet (UV) light radiation of varying wavelengths. Four of five SLE cell strains were more sensitive to UV-C (254 nm), sun lamp, and UV-A (320 to 400 nm) light than were normal cells. SLE cellular recovery was most sensitive to broad spectrum, long wavelength light. This hypersensitivity did not appear to result from the UV light activation of a clastogenic factor. Experiments which examined the DNA repair capacity of irradiated cells indicated that SLE fibroblasts may be able to excise certain DNA lesions as well as normal cells. The mechanisms responsible for the hypersensitivity of SLE cells remain under investigation. 相似文献
