Na+-dependent I- transport and I- counterflow were studied using phospholipid vesicles (P-vesicles) made of porcine thyroid plasma membranes and soybean phospholipid by sonication. 1) I- uptake by P-vesicles incubated in the presence of external Na+ was higher than that by P-vesicles incubated in choline+ instead of Na+. The vesicles exhibited Na+-dependent I- uptake. When P-vesicles were internally loaded with I- prior to incubation in Na+, a further increase in Na+-dependent I- uptake was observed, although the concentration of internal I- was very much higher than that outside. In the absence of external Na+, I- uptake by P-vesicles preloaded with I- was comparable to baseline uptake. 2) Na+-dependent I- uptake by P-vesicles not loaded with I- and enhanced Na+-dependent I- uptake by P-vesicles preloaded with I- were both inhibited by either of SCN- and ClO4- added outside the vesicles. 3) When P-vesicles were loaded with SCN- instead of I- and incubated in Na+, I- uptake by these vesicles was also higher than baseline Na+-dependent I- uptake. However, a ClO4- load did not result in an increase in I- uptake. These results indicate that Na+-dependent I- transport including Na+-dependent I- counterflow is specifically mediated by the thyroid I- carrier. SCN- - I- counterflow in addition to I- - I- counterflow occurs dependently on Na+, but ClO4- - I- counterflow does not. 相似文献

The 125I- uptake by plasmalemmal vesicles from porcine thyroid was measured by a Millipore filtration method using 2 mM ClO4- as a reaction stopper. Effective uptake occurred in the presence of high concentrations of extravesicular Na+ (Na+o). In the presence of Na-ionophores such as monensin and nigericin, no uptake was observed and the accumulated I- was released. The initial rate of I- uptake increased with the concentration of extravesicular I- (I-o) according to simple saturation kinetics and [I-o] giving a half-maximum rate of about 5 microM. The dependence of the rate on [Na+o] showed cooperativity with a Hill coefficient of 1.8, and a KNa value of 0.0064 M2, suggesting that the binding of at least 2 Na+ ions to a carrier molecule was required to transport an I- ion. Further kinetic data were consistent with a mechanism in which bindings of the ions were rapid and the Na+ binding occurred prior to the I- binding. Intravesicular Na+ inhibited the I- uptake and the inhibition constant (KiNa) was about 4 mM, independently of [I-o] and [Na+o]. Intravesicular I- inhibited the I- uptake with an apparent KiI value of about 100 microM. The results suggest that the differences in the Na+- and I- -binding modes between outside and inside of the vesicles are important factors causing the I- uptake against its concentration gradient. 相似文献

Iodide secretion across different regions of rat small intestine has been investigated in vitro using the standard Wilson-Wiseman technique. Net I- secretion was observed along the entire small intestine, being significantly higher in the central region. Anaerobic conditions, ouabain (2 mM) and Na+ free Ringer solution prevented net I- secretion, whilst both theophylline (1 mM) and carbachol (0,1 mM) enhanced the observed basal intestinal I- secretion. Furthermore, Ca2+-deprived bathing solutions significantly reduced intestinal I- secretion. Epithelial I- uptake from both mucosal and serosal sides was measured by using a Ussing-type chamber technique. The initial rate of I- uptake across the mucosal membrane was significantly higher in the central region than in the proximal part of rat small intestine. No significant differences were observed in the rate of I- uptake from the serosal side. These studies suggest that mucosal I- permeability might determine the direction of net I- intestinal transport and that cytosolic Ca2+ may be a physiological regulator of intestinal I- transport. 相似文献

The effect of methimazole (MMI) and 2-mercaptoethanol (ME) on I-transport was studied using phospholipid vesicles (P-vesicles) made from porcine thyroid plasma membranes and soybean phospholipids by sonication. 1. When buffer solutions contained either 1 mM MMI or 2 mM ME, I-uptake by P-vesicles in the presence of external Na+ was apparently higher than that in the absence of external Na+. Na+-dependent I- uptake was inhibited by both C1O4- and SCN- added externally. 2. When PM was treated with 4 mM N-ethylmaleimide prior to preparation of P-vesicles, the activity of Na+-dependent I- transport was completely lost even when P-vesicles were incubated in the presence of ME. 3. When neither MMI nor ME was added to buffers, I- uptake in the presence of external Na+ was not at all higher than that in the absence of external Na+. In these instances, however, I- uptake was much higher compared than the baseline uptake in the presence of MMI or ME, and was inhibited by external SCN- and not by C1O4- without relation to external Na+. These data indicate that MMI or ME has two distinct effects on our model system of I- transport. The one is preservation of the Na+-dependent I- transport activity by protecting a sulfhydryl group, and the other is reduction of nonspecific I- binding to P-vesicles. In addition, C1O4- is a more specific inhibitor of thyroid I- transport than SCN-, when non-specific I- oxidation is imperfectly prevented. 相似文献

Hormonal regulation of thyroid peroxidase in normal and transformed rat thyroid cells 总被引:3,自引:0,他引:3
The hormonal induction of thyroid peroxidase (TPO) mRNA is studied in the functional rat thyroid cell line FRTL-5 and compared to the induction of thyroglobulin (TG) mRNA and I- uptake. TPO and TG mRNAs are regulated by TSH and by insulin-like growth factor I (IGF-I) and/or insulin. However, while TPO is more sensitive to TSH regulation (5- to 6-fold increase vs. 2- to 3-fold increase by IGF-I), TSH and IGF-I are equally potent in increasing TG mRNA levels (3- to 4-fold). Regulation of I- uptake appears to be different: thus TSH greatly (15-fold) increases I- uptake, while IGF-I or insulin are completely ineffective. TPO and TG mRNAs and I- transport display different sensitivity to transformation of rat thyroid cells. Thus, when another differentiated rat thyroid cell line, the PC cells, are transformed by human c-myc (PC myc), TPO and TG mRNAs are both present at normal levels, while I- uptake is slightly decreased; in the PC cells transformed by polyomavirus middle-T-antigen (PC PyMLV) TPO mRNA is undetectable and I- uptake is greatly decreased, while TG mRNA is present at normal levels. All three differentiated functions are switched off in PC cells transformed by the cooperation of c-myc and polyomavirus middle-T-antigen (PC myc + PyMLV). 相似文献

Pertechnetate (99mTcO4-) is a large anion that is thought to be trapped but not organified by the thyroid. In order to determine its usefulness in discriminating trapping from organification in thyroid cell culture, the uptake of 99mTcO4- has been compared to that of 125I- both in sheep thyroid cells and in FRTL5 cells, a functional rat thyroid cell line. We found that uptake of both isotopes was dependent on TSH or agents that raised intracellular cAMP levels and was displaceable with iodide in both cell types. However in rat cell line 99mTcO4- uptake was up to eight-fold higher than 125I- uptake, and 99mTcO4- but not 125I- uptake was doubled by methimazole treatment. A considerable proportion of 99mTcO4- but not 125I- taken up by the FRTL5 cell but not the sheep cells was precipitable with TCA. This proportion was increased by methimazole treatment. We also found marked differences in sensitivity to ouabain between the two cell types. These results illustrate the differences between species in 125I- and 99mTcO4- transport and support the concerns expressed by Socolow and Ingbar (1967) in using 99mTcO4- as a direct and precise indicator of iodide transport activity. 相似文献

The aspartate-132 in subunit I (D(I-132)) of cytochrome c oxidase from Rhodobacter sphaeroides is located on the cytoplasmic surface of the protein at the entry point of a proton-transfer pathway used for both substrate and pumped protons (D-pathway). Replacement of D(I-132) by its nonprotonatable analogue asparagine (DN(I-132)) has been shown to result in a reduced overall activity of the enzyme and impaired proton pumping. The results from this study show that during oxidation of the fully reduced enzyme the reaction was inhibited after formation of the oxo-ferryl (F) intermediate (tau congruent with 120 microseconds). In contrast to the wild-type enzyme, in the mutant enzyme formation of this intermediate was not associated with proton uptake from solution, which is the reason the DN(I-132) enzyme does not pump protons. The proton needed to form F was presumably taken from a protonatable group in the D-pathway (e.g., E(I-286)), which indicates that in the wild-type enzyme the proton transfer during F formation takes place in two steps: proton transfer from the group in the pathway is followed by faster reprotonation from the bulk solution, through D(I-132). Unlike the wild-type enzyme, in which F formation is coupled to internal electron transfer from CuA to heme a, in the DN(I-132) enzyme this electron transfer was uncoupled from formation of the F intermediate, which presumably is due to the impaired charge-compensating proton uptake from solution. In the presence of arachidonic acid which has been shown to stimulate the turnover activity of the DN(I-132) enzyme (Fetter et al. (1996) FEBS Lett. 393, 155), proton uptake with a time constant of approximately 2 ms was observed. However, no proton uptake associated with formation of F (tau congruent with 120 micros) was observed, which indicates that arachidonic acid can replace the role of D(I-132), but it cannot transfer protons as fast as the Asp. The results from this study show that D(I-132) is crucial for efficient transfer of protons into the enzyme and that in the DN(I-132) mutant enzyme there is a "kinetic barrier" for proton transfer into the D-pathway. 相似文献

Tumour-to-normal tissue ratios of i.p. injected 125I-labelled monoclonal antibodies (MAbs), reacting with CEA were determined in nude rats xenografted with human colonic cancer cells (LS 174 T). Two MAbs, I-38S1 and II-16, reactive with the GOLD 1-epitope on CEA were tested. MAb I-38S1 was also tested after additional purification using anion exchange chromatography (thereafter named AEC 38). In the external activity measurements, MAb AEC 38 showed significantly better tumour-to-liver ratios than did MAb II-16 on all 4 days after injection. MAb I-38S1 gave intermediate ratios but was significantly better than II-16 only on day 3. The mean tumour-to-blood ratios were 3.0, 2.6 and 1.5 and the mean tumour-to-liver ratios were 6.6, 4.8 and 3.5 for MAbs AEC 38, I-38S1 and II-16 respectively. Gamma camera registrations in 3 animals on 4 days showed good imaging properties for all three MAbs and the patterns of tissue uptake were consistent with those seen in the external measurements. Furthermore, histopathological and immunohistochemical determinations were performed, showing that MAb II-16 gave about the same spatial binding as the previously analysed MAb I-38S1. The results indicate that additional purification of MAbs using anion exchange chromatography may potentiate tumour uptake in this model. 相似文献

The impact of lead as an environmental pollutant on the I-131 uptake and retention in rat thyroid was assayed alone and in combination with lithium treatment. Lead treatment significantly stimulated the 2- and 24-h uptake of I-131 in the thyroid, and the 24-h uptake showed the maximum stimulation after 3 mo of lead treatment. On the contrary, lithium supplementation reduced the uptake significantly and the maximum decrease was noticed after 2 mo of lithium administration. Further, simultaneous lead and lithium treatment resulted in more pronounced increase in the uptake of I-131 by the thyroid, which was maximum after 3 mo of combined treatment. The thyroidal biological half-life of I-131 (T biol) was found to be increased significantly following lead and lithium treatments when given separately. Interestingly, combined lead and lithium treatment given up to 2 mo further prolonged theT biol of I-131, thus reflecting its increased retention. 相似文献

During the last few years our knowledge of the structure and function of heme copper oxidases has greatly profited from the use of site-directed mutagenesis in combination with biophysical techniques. This, together with the recently-determined crystal structures of cytochrome c oxidase, has now made it possible to design experiments aimed at targeting specific pump mechanisms. Here, we summarize results from our recent kinetic studies of electron and proton-transfer reactions in wild-type and mutant forms of cytochrome c oxidase from Rhodobacter sphaeroides. These studies have made it possible to identify amino acid residues involved in proton transfer during specific reaction steps and provide a basis for discussion of mechanisms of electron and proton transfer in terminal oxidases. The results indicate that the pathway through K(I-362)/T(I-359), but not through D(I-132)/E(I-286), is used for proton transfer to a protonatable group interacting electrostatically with heme a
3, i.e., upon reduction of the binuclear center. The pathway through D(I-132)/E(I-286) is used for uptake of pumped and substrate protons during the pumping steps during O2 reduction. 相似文献

Inhibitor 2 (I-2) is a ubiquitous regulator of type 1 protein phosphatase (PP1). Previous in vitro studies suggested that its inhibitory activity towards PP1 is regulated by phosphorylation at Thr72 by glycogen synthase kinase-3beta (GSK-3beta), and at Ser86, Ser120, and Ser121 by casein kinase 2 (CK2). Here we report that GSK-3beta expressed in COS-7 cells phosphorylates wild-type I-2 but not an I-2 mutant carrying a T to A substitution at residue 72, showing that GSK-3beta phosphorylates I-2 at T72 in vivo as well. Co-immunoprecipitation study demonstrated that HA-GSK-3beta and I-2-FLAG co-exist in a same complex in the intact cells, but they do not bind directly. It is noteworthy that co-expression of Myc-PP1C significantly increased co-precipitation of HA-GSK-3beta with I-2-FLAG, showing a complex formation of HA-GSK-3beta/Myc-PP1C / I-2-FLAG in vivo. Further studies using a GSK-3beta kinase-dead mutant and LiCl, an inhibitor of GSK-3beta, showed that the enzyme activity of GSK-3beta is required for co-precipitation. IP-Western study using several I-2 mutants substituted at phosphorylation sites (T72, S86, S120, and S121) suggested that phosphorylation of I-2 by CK2 is also involved in enhancement of association between GSK-3beta and I-2 in vivo. This study is the first demonstration that GSK-3beta associates with PP1C/I-2 complex and phosphorylates I-2 at T72 in the intact cells. 相似文献

In order to study the expression of the morphological and functional characteristics of human thyroid cells, 3-dimensional cultures were carried out in collagen gel. This substrate allows the cells to retain their organization in follicles with a normal polarity. Cellular polarities appeared normal at the time of collagen embedding, but there was a delay of 4-5 days in culture before the maximal TSH stimulation of 125I- uptake and of cAMP accumulation occurred. In normal and adenoma-derived cells, 125I- uptake, which could be increased by TSH, was demonstrated. cAMP accumulated in the culture medium and thyroglobulin was secreted into the follicle lumen. Of the 4 differentiated carcinomas for which the 72-hr uptake of 125I- was measured, only 2 displayed slight 125I- uptake and response to TSH. Thus, human thyroid cells exhibit better morphological and functional differentiation in collagen gel culture than in monolayer culture. Furthermore, in a variety of pathological cases studied, the expression of specific characteristics in culture varied in a fashion similar to differences observed in vivo. 相似文献

Abnormalities in energy metabolism may play an important role in the development of hypertensive heart failure. However, the transition from compensated hypertrophy to heart failure is not fully understood in terms of energy metabolism. In Dahl salt-sensitive (DS) and salt-resistant (DR) rats, myocardial fatty acid and glucose uptake values were determined using (131)I- or (125)I-labeled 9-methylpentadecanoic acid ((131)I- or (125)I-9MPA), and [(14)C]deoxyglucose ([(14)C]DG), fatty acid beta-oxidation was identified using thin-layer chromatography, and insulin-stimulated glucose-uptake was observed using a euglycemic hyperinsulinemic glucose clamp. Six-week-old rats were fed a diet that contained 8% NaCl, which resulted in development of compensated hypertrophy in DS rats at 12 wk of age and ultimately led to heart failure by 18 wk of age. Uptake of [(14)C]DG increased markedly with age in the DS rats, whereas (131)I-9MPA uptake was marginally but significantly increased only in animals aged 12 wk. The ratio of (125)I-9MPA beta-oxidation metabolites to total uptake in the DS rats was significantly lower (P < 0.05) at 12 (37%) and 18 (34%) wk compared with at 6 (45%) wk. Insulin increased [(14)C]DG uptake more than twofold in the DS rats at 6 wk, although this increase was markedly attenuated at 12 and 18 wk (11 and 8%, respectively). Our data suggest that in a hypertrophied heart before heart failure, fatty acid oxidation is impaired and the capacity to increase glucose uptake during insulin stimulation is markedly reduced. These changes in both glucose and fatty acid metabolism that occur in association with myocardial hypertrophy may have a pathogenic role in the subsequent development of heart failure. 相似文献

Summary For the radioiodine isotopes I-123, I-125, I-131, and I-132 the mean tissue dose and local dose distribution in the epithelial cells of a follicle have been calculated and compared to each other. Moreover, dose factors have been estimated for I-131 as a function of age considering age-dependent ingestion (milk consumption) and inhalation rates. Thereby, besides age-dependent biological half-times and thyroid masses, the thyroidal iodine uptake was assumed to be independent from age and taken to be about 1.7 the normal for an insufficient dictary iodine intake as in the Federal Republic of Germany. 相似文献

Inositol monophosphatase (I-1-Pase) catalyzes the dephosphorylation step in the de novo biosynthetic pathway of inositol and is crucial for all inositol-dependent processes. An extremely heat-stable tetrameric form of I-1-Pase from the hyperthermophilic bacterium Thermotoga maritima was overexpressed in Escherichia coli. In addition to its different quaternary structure (all other known I-1-Pases are dimers), this enzyme displayed a 20-fold higher rate of hydrolysis of D-inositol 1-phosphate than of the L isomer. The homogeneous recombinant T. maritima I-1-Pase (containing 256 amino acids with a subunit molecular mass of 28 kDa) possessed an unusually high V(max) (442 micromol min(-1) mg(-1)) that was much higher than the V(max) of the same enzyme from another hyperthermophile, Methanococcus jannaschii. Although T. maritima is a eubacterium, its I-1-Pase is more similar to archaeal I-1-Pases than to the other known bacterial or mammalian I-1-Pases with respect to substrate specificity, Li(+) inhibition, inhibition by high Mg(2+) concentrations, metal ion activation, heat stability, and activation energy. Possible reasons for the observed kinetic differences are discussed based on an active site sequence alignment of the human and T. maritima I-1-Pases. 相似文献

Evaluation of Z-(R,R)-IQNP for the potential imaging of m2 mAChR rich regions of the brain and heart
Alterations in the function or density of the m2 muscarinic (mAChR) subtype have been postulated to play an important role in various dementias such as Alzheimer's disease. The ability to image and quantify the m2 mAChR subtype is of importance for a better understanding of the m2 subtype function in various dementias. Z-(R)-1-Azabicyclo[2.2.2]oct-3-y (R)-alpha-hydroxy-alpha-(1-iodo-1-propen-3-yl)-alpha-phenylacetate (Z-(R,R)-IQNP) has demonstrated significant uptake in cerebral regions that contain a high concentration of m2 mAChR subtype in addition to heart tissue. The present study was undertaken to determine if the uptake of Z-(R,R)-IQNP in these regions is a receptor mediated process and to identify the radiospecies responsible for binding at the receptor site. A blocking study demonstrated cerebral and cardiac levels of activity were significantly reduced by pretreatment (2-3 mg/kg) of (R)-3-quinuclidinyl benzilate, dexetimide and scopolamine, established muscarinic antagonists. A direct comparison of the cerebral and cardiac uptake of [I-125]-Z-(R,R)-IQNP and [I-131]-E-(R,R)-IQNP (high uptake in ml, m4 rich mAChR cerebral regions) demonstrated Z-(R,R)-IQNP localized to a higher degree in cerebral and cardiac regions containing a high concentration of the m2 mAChR subtype as directly compared to E-(R,R)-IQNP. In addition, a study utilizing [I-123]-Z-(R,R)-IQNP, [I-131]-iododexetimide and [I-125]-R-3-quinuclidinyl S-4-iodobenzilate, Z-(R,R)-IQNP demonstrated significantly higher uptake and longer residence time in those regions which contain a high concentration of the m2 receptor subtype. Folch extraction of global brain and heart tissue at various times post injection of [I-125]-Z-(R,R)-IQNP demonstrated that approximately 80% of the activity was extracted in the lipid soluble fraction and identified as the parent ligand by TLC and HPLC analysis. These results demonstrate Z-(R,R)-IQNP has significant uptake, long residence time and high stability in cerebral and cardiac tissues containing high levels of the m2 mAChR subtype. These combined results strongly suggest that Z-(R,R)-IQNP is an attractive ligand for the in vivo imaging and evaluation of m2 rich cerebral and cardiac regions by SPECT. 相似文献

A large percentage (up to 70%) of 36Cl- influx in brush-border membrane vesicles from rat small intestine under equilibrium exchange conditions was found to be mediated by SITS-inhibitable anion exchange. This Cl-/anion exchange could be measured 10-15-times more sensitive by determining the uptake of trace amounts of 125I- driven by a large Cl- gradient (in greater than out) generated by passing the vesicles through an anion-exchange column. Voltage clamping of the vesicle membrane with K+ and valinomycin did not effect the chloride driven 125I- uptake, showing that the 'overshooting' I- uptake was not mediated by an electrical diffusion potential, as might be generated by the Cl- gradient in the presence of a chloride channel. The Cl-/anion exchange was further characterized in brush-border membrane vesicles from both rat ileum and jejunum by studying the inhibitory action of various anions on the Cl- driven I- uptake. NO3-, Cl-, SCN- and formate at 2 mM could inhibit Cl-/I- exchange for more than 80%. The ileal brush-border membrane vesicles displayed a clear heterogeneity with respect to the inhibitory action of SO2-(4), SITS and HCO-3 on Cl-/I- exchange. Approximately 30% of the Cl-/I- exchange was insensitive to SO2-(4) and showed a relatively low sensitivity to SITS (IC50 = 1 mM) but could be inhibited for 80% by 2 mM HCO-3. Presumably this component represents Cl-/OH- or Cl-/HCO-3 exchange. The residual 70% showed a high sensitivity to SO2-(4) (IC50 = 0.5 mM) and SITS (IC50 = 2.5 microM) but was less sensitive to HCO-3. This part of the exchange activity showed inhibition characteristics very similar to the Cl-/I- exchange in the jejunal vesicles. The latter process was also inhibited for 80% by 2 mM oxalate. As discussed in this paper both exchangers may be involved in the electroneutral transport of NaCl across the apical membrane of the small intestinal villus cell. 相似文献

It is very important in the management of patients with differentiated thyroid cancer (CDT) to precisely localize the foci of I-131 uptake, but it is difficult with planar scintigraphy only because of a lack of anatomic landmarks. In this context hybrid-imaging appears to be a preferred technique to overcome this deficiency. We report a case of metastatic follicular thyroid carcinoma (CDT) in which planar scintigraphy diagnosed multiples uptake abnormalities. The foci of I-131 pinpointed in abdominal cavity could not be identified anatomically on whole body scintigraphy. SPECT-CT imaging helped to locate these hot spots and assign them to hepatic localization. 相似文献

A novel polypeptide secreted by activated human T lymphocytes 总被引:11,自引:0,他引:11

We have identified two cDNA clones, I-309 and G-26, which define genes expressed abundantly in activated human PBMC, but at low or undetectable levels in resting PBMC. Based upon nucleotide sequence analysis, both clones are predicted to encode small, structurally related polypeptides, each containing a hydrophobic leader sequence characteristic of secreted proteins and a motif of four conserved cysteine residues. Further, I-309 and G-26 are structurally related to a growing family of genes that apparently encode small polypeptides whose secretion is induced upon cell activation. I-309 represents a previously undescribed human gene. We have generated an anti-peptide antiserum to the I-309 gene product which recognizes proteins in culture supernatants of an activated T cell clone and of COS cells transfected with the I-309 cDNA, supporting the idea that I-309 encodes a secreted protein. Because I-309 encodes a small protein secreted by activated T cells that displays structural features similar to other cytokines, we believe that it defines a novel cytokine with as yet unknown function. 相似文献
