In vivo genotoxic activity and cell proliferative activity were examined in the stomach mucosa of male F344 rats by in vivo short-term methods after oral administration of a nitrosated Oroxylum indicum Vent (OiV) fraction, which had been found to be mutagenic without S9 mix to Salmonella typhimurium TA98 and TA100. Administration of the nitrosated OiV fraction at doses of 1 and 2 g/kg body weight induced dose-dependent DNA single-strand scission (p less than 0.02), determined by the alkaline elution method, in the stomach pyloric mucosa 2 h after its administration: a dose of 2 g/kg body weight induced an 18-fold increase in the DNA elution rate constant. Administration of the nitrosated OiV fraction at doses of 0.7-2.8 g/kg body weight also induced dose-dependent increases, up to 11-fold (p less than 0.05), in replicative DNA synthesis in the stomach pyloric mucosa 16 h after its administration. Moreover administration of the nitrosated OiV fraction at doses of 0.25-2.0 g/kg body weight induced dose-dependent increases, up to 100-fold, in ornithine decarboxylase activity in the stomach pyloric mucosa with a maximum 4 h after its administration. These results demonstrate that the nitrosated OiV fraction has genotoxic and cell proliferative activity in the pyloric mucosa of rat stomach in vivo.  相似文献

Phospholipid-deacylating enzymes of rat stomach mucosa   总被引:3,自引:0,他引:3  
1. Rat stomach mucosa exhibited three distinguishable phospholipid-deacylating enzyme activities: lysophospholipase, phospholipase A1 and phospholipase A2. 2. The lysophospholipase hydrolyzed 1-palmitoyl lysophosphatidylcholine to free fatty acid and glycerophosphorylcholine. This enzyme had an optimum pH of 8.0, was heat labile, did not require Ca2+ for maximum activity and was not inhibited by bile salts or buffers of high ionic strength. 3. Phospholipase A2 and phospholipase A1 deacylated dipalmitoyl phophatidylcholine to the corresponding lyso compound and free fatty acid. The specific activity of phospholipase A2 was 2--4-fold higher than that of phospholipase A1 under all the conditions tested. Both activities were enhanced 4--7.5-fold in the presence of bile salts at alkaline pH and 11-18-fold at acidic pH. 4. In the absence of bile salts, phospholipase A1 exhibited pH optima at 6.5 and 9.5 and phospholipase A2 at pH 6.5, 8.0 and 9.5. The pH optima for phospholipase A1 were shifted to pH 3.0, 6.0 and 9.0 in presence of sodium taurocholate; the activity was detected only at a single pH of 9.5 in the presence of sodium deoxycholate and at pH 10.0 in the presence of sodium glycocholate. Phospholipase A2 optimum activity was displayed at pH 3.0, 6.0 and 8.0 in presence of taurocholage, pH 7.5 and 9.0, in presence of glycocholate and only at pH 9.0 in presence of deoxycholate. 5. Ca2+ was essential for optimum activity of phospholipases A1 and A2. But phospholipase A1 lost complete activity in presence of 0.5 mM ethyleneglycolbis-(beta-aminoethylether)-N,N'-tetraacetic acid (EGTA) at pH 6.0, whereas phospholipase A2 lost only 50%. 6. Phospholipases A1 and A2 retained about 50% of their activities by heating at 75 degrees for 10 min. At 100 degrees, phospholipase A1 retained 22% of its activity, whereas phospholipase A2 retained only 7%.  相似文献

NuMA is a well-characterized organizer of the mitotic spindle, which is believed to play a structural role in interphase nucleus. We studied the expression of NuMA in rat seminiferous epithelium in detail. Different stages of the cycle of the seminiferous epithelium were identified using transillumination. Corresponding areas were microdissected and analysed using immunofluorescence, immunohistochemistry, or immunoblotting. NuMA was expressed in Sertoli cells, proliferating type A and B spermatogonia, and early spermatids but it was absent in late spermatids and mature spermatozoa. Interestingly, NuMA-positive primary spermatocytes lost their nuclear NuMA at the beginning of long-lasting prophase of the first meiotic division. A strong expression was again observed at the end of the prophase and finally, a redistribution of NuMA into pole regions of the meiotic spindle was observed in first and second meiotic divisions. In immunoblotting, a single 250-kDa protein present in all stages of the rat seminiferous epithelial cycle was detected. Our results show that NuMA is not essential for the organization of nuclear structure in all cell types and suggest that its presence is more likely connected to the proliferation phase of the cells. They also suggest that NuMA may play an important role in meiotic cell division.  相似文献

The effects of omeprazole--an inhibitor of gastric acid secretion--on gastrin (G)- and somatostatin (D)-cell density in the gastric antral mucosa epithelium in rats were examined, following a 5-day treatment. It was found that omeprazole increased the density of G-cells, whereas it decreased the density of D-cells. That effect was probably independent of hypergastrinaemia, since it could not be blocked by a simultaneous treatment with proglumide--a gastrin receptor blocker. It is concluded that the observed phenomenon is a direct result of a lower gastric acidity, as a consequence of omeprazole treatment.  相似文献

A sensitive method is described that detects an alteration in the structure of tRNA that is caused by cadmium but not by magnesium or zinc ions. The chromatographic system, RPC-5, separates Drosophila tyrosyl-tRNA into two fractions. These two isoacceptors differ by a single position in the anticodon where either a guanosine or queuine resides. Cadmium ions apparently interact with the tRNA and prevent the chromatographic separation. This is the first instance where cadmium is shown to cause a selective change in nucleic acid structure. The RPC-5 system seems to be uniquely useful in detecting such a change.  相似文献

The effects of omeprazole, a proton pump inhibitor, on gene expression, protein synthesis, intracellular storage and secretion of pepsinogen in guinea pig stomach were investigated. After treatment with omeprazole for five days, acid and pepsinogen secretion into the gastric lumen was significantly reduced. Concomitant with this, there was an increase in intracellular pepsinogen as demonstrated by increased pepsin activity in the gastric mucosa, more intense immunohistochemical staining by antibodies specific of pepsinogen and accumulation of secretory granules in the cells producing pepsinogen. In these cells, the amount for pepsinogen mRNA was reduced as revealed by Northern blotting and in situ hybridization. Ultrastructurally the endoplasmic reticulum of these cells was poorly developed, the findings being consistent with a reduction in protein synthesis. It appears that omeprazole inhibits the secretion of pepsinogen, increasing the intracellular store and leading to the reduction in gene expression probably by a feedback mechanism and consequent reduction in pepsinogen synthesis. Since these changes were most evident in the acid-secreting fundic gland mucosa, as compared with other mucosae secreting only pepsinogen, namely pyloric and duodenal mucosa, it appears probable that these changes are linked with omeprazole-induced reduction in the acid secretion.  相似文献

Immunohistochemical detection of proliferating cell nuclear antigen (PCNA) has been suggested as a new approach for determinating proliferative activity in paraffin-embedded tissue. In a prospective study PCNA immunostaining was performed in 284 colorectal biopsies using monoclonal antibodies 19F4 (Ogata et al. 1987) and PC10 (Waseem and Lane 1990) and compared with the Ki67 method. From each site three biopsies were taken and a variety of fixation regimens for frozen and paraffin-embedded samples tested. For frozen biopsies methanol fixation at −20° C proved best. In paraffin sections PCNA could be detected after methacarn fixation as well as after controled fixation at 4° C in 4% paraformaldehyde for 1 h and in most biopsies routinely fixed with 10% formalin. However, the latter fixation regimens revealed additional PCNA-positive cells in the normal superficial colonic mucosal epithelium. Although the percentage of cells positive for PCNA was generally lower than for Ki67, the rates correlated in a highly significant fashion, both in frozen methanolfixed biopsies, and in paraformaldehyde-fixed paraffinembedded samples. PCNA immunohistochemistry revealed a similar proliferative activity in different parts of the large bowel. A higher proliferative activity was found in inflamed mucosa, adenomas, carcinomas and even in normal mucosa from patients with colorectal neoplasms. In routinely fixed biopies, the monoclonal antibody PC10 was superior to 19F4 because of considerably less background staining. However, in the routine material only a rough estimate of the proliferative activity was possible by PCNA immunohistochemistry using these antibodies, because unpredictable numbers of non-S-phase cells were also stained. Thus, it was concluded that reliable results are only obtainable after careful control of the fixation conditions. Taking this reservation into account, PCNA immunohistochemistry still represents a convenient method for measurements of proliferative activity in paraffin-embedded colorectal mucosa and can be applied using methanol-containing fixatives as well as after 4% paraformaldehyde fixation.

Accurate, predictive assessment of the behaviour and progression of oral cancers and precancers remains elusive in clinical practice. Archival tissue specimens from 10 previously treated patients with oral lesions of known clinical outcome (3 years post-treatment) were re-examined histopathologically, and proliferative cell labelling indices (LIs) determined for Ki67, cyclin A and histone mRNA cell cycle markers. While histone mRNA labelling ultimately proved unreliable, both Ki67 and cyclin A LIs demonstrated a clear trend for enhanced labelling to occur in increasingly dysplastic and neoplastic tissue, with particular emphasis on suprabasal labelling in abnormal tissue. Perhaps of greatest significance was the observation of increased LIs and suprabasal labelling in lesions with poor clinical outcome, such as patients developing recurrent disease or cervical lymph node metastasis. Measurement of cell proliferative activity in individual oral epithelial dysplastic lesions or invasive squamous cell carcinomas may thus provide unique, predictive information on clinical outcome.  相似文献

Phospholipase A activity in rat stomach wall and in gastric content was studied using [1-14C]dioleoylphosphatidylcholine as substrate. The optimum activity of the stomach wall was found to take place at pH 7.0. During optimal phospholipase action about 40% of the [1-14C]oleic acid released was due to an active intracellular lysophospholipase. The gastric phospholipase required 5 mM Ca2+ for full activity and is inhibited by EDTA. It specifically hydrolyzed the sn-2 position of the phospholipid molecule. The enzyme was heat labile and inactivated by acidification at pH 3.0. The gastric content enzyme had a lower specific activity and an optimum pH of 8.0. It was heat stable and was not inactivated by acidification. These results indicate that gastric content phospholipase A is of pancreatic origin, via a duodenal reflux. By ligating the stomach we were able to further confirm that the gastric wall phospholipase was different from that of the gastric content. It originated from the stomach mucosa. Subcellular fractionation suggests that the gastric phospholipase A2 is essentially bound to the plasma membrane. About 6% of the activity was found to be soluble. Biopsies of human gastric mucosa displayed a phospholipase A activity which had similar properties to that of rat gastric enzyme. The physiological function of this enzyme is discussed in terms of prostaglandin synthesis via the release of arachidonic acid.  相似文献

The effect of aging (2-14 months) and total body irradiation (5.7 Gy of gamma radiation) on liver regeneration was investigated in rats 30 h after partial hepatectomy. Exposure of rats to irradiation 30 min before partial hepatectomy caused latent injury in the remaining liver cells. During the course of liver regeneration this became manifested as a delay in increasing the nucleic acid concentration and content and liver weight and, furthermore, as inhibition of the increase in the mitotic index and cellularity and pronounced increase in the frequency of chromosome aberrations in the postmetaphase. The pattern of age-related changes during liver regeneration was the same as that after irradiation, so that the differences between irradiated and nonirradiated animals became smaller with age.  相似文献

Cells responsible for repopulation of irradiated longterm cultures of murine bone marrow and capable of generating CFUs for at least 4-5 weeks after seeding referred here to as primitive hemopoietic stem cells (P-HSC) were assayed by limiting dilution analysis. During development of mice P-HSC can be detected for the first time in the liver of 12-13-day-old embryos and their number is about 10 per organ. At day 17-18 of gestation the number of P-HSC increases ten-fold; however, we could not detect the proliferation of these cells using the technique of hydroxyurea suicide. In the adult mouse P-HSC content is about 100 precursors per femur and their concentration is one P-HSC per 1-2 x 10(5) bone marrow cells. P-HSC content in the spleen is 0.5 per 10(6) cells. In vivo treatment with 5-fluorouracil or hydroxyurea (six injections every 6 h) does not alter significantly the number of P-HSC, although either treatment kills about 99% of CFUs. Several months after reconstitution of lethally irradiated mice with a "small" inoculum of bone marrow cells (0.20-0.35 x 10(6)) the number of bone marrow P-HSC was reduced as compared to that in animals reconstituted by injection of a "large" cell dose (20-35 x 10(6)). These data suggest that P-HSC have limited proliferative potential and are incapable of self-maintenance.  相似文献

The degradation of nucleotides is catalyzed by the family of enzymes called nucleoside triphosphate diphosphohydrolases (NTPDases). The aim of this work was to demonstrate the presence of NTPDase in the rat gastric mucosa. The enzyme was found to hydrolyze ATP and ADP at an optimum pH of 8.0 in the presence of Mg2+ and Ca2+. The inhibitors ouabain (0.01-1 mM), N-ethylmaleimide (0.01-4 mM), levamisole (0.10-0.2 mM) and Ap5A (0.03 mM) had no effect on NTPDase 1 activity. Sodium azide (0.03-30 mM), at high concentrations (>0.1 mM), caused a parallel hydrolysis inhibition of ATP and ADP. Suramin (50-300 microM) inhibited ATP and ADP hydrolysis at all concentrations tested. Orthovanadate slightly inhibited (15%) Mg2+ and Ca2+ ATP/ADPase at 100 microM. Lanthanum decreased Mg2+ and Ca2+ ATP/ADPase activities. The presence of NTPDase as ecto-enzyme in the gastric mucosa may have an important role in the extracellular metabolism of nucleotides, suggesting that this enzyme plays a role in the control of acid and pepsin secretion, mucus production, and contractility of the stomach.  相似文献
