Although the identification of events that occur during apoptosis is a fundamental goal of apoptotic cell death research,
little is know about the precise sequence of changes in total elemental composition during apoptosis. We evaluated total elemental
composition (Na, Mg, P, Cl, S, and K) in relation to molecular and morphological features in human U937 cells induced to undergo
apoptosis with staurosporine, an intrinsic pathway activator. To evaluate total elemental content we used electron probe X-ray
microanalysis to measure simultaneously all elements from single, individual cells. We observed two phases in the changes
in elemental composition (mainly Na, Cl and K). The early phase was characterized by a decrease in intracellular K (P < 0.001) and Cl (P < 0.001) content concomitant with cell shrinkage, and preceded the increase in proteolytic activity associated with the activation
of caspase-3. The later phase started with caspase-3 activation, and was characterized by a decrease in the K/Na ratio (P < 0.001) as a consequence of a significant decrease in K and increase in Na content. The inversion of intracellular K and
Na content was related with the inhibition of Na+/K+ ATPase. This later phase was also characterized by a significant increase (P < 0.001) in intracellular Cl with respect to the early phase. In addition, we found a decrease in S content and an increase
in the P/S ratio. These distinctive changes coincided with chromatin condensation and DNA fragmentation. Together, these findings
support the concept that changes in total elemental composition take place in two phases related with molecular and morphological
features during staurosporine-induced apoptosis. 相似文献

The responses of five tomato cultivars (L. esculentum Mill) of different degrees of salt tolerance were examined over a range of 0 to 140 mM NaCl applied for 3 and 10 weeks. Judged by both Na and Cl accumulations and maintenance of K, Ca and Mg contents with increasing salinity, the most tolerant cultivars (Pera and GC-72) showed different responses. The greater salt tolerance of cv Pera was associated with a higher Cl and Na accumulation and a lower K content in the shoot than those found in the other cultivars, typical of a halophytic response to salinity. However, the greater salt tolerance of cv GC-72 was associated with a retention of Na and Cl in the root, restriction of their translocation to the shoot and maintenance of potassium selectivity under saline conditions. The salt tolerance mechanisms that operated in the remaining cultivars were similar to that of cv GC-72, as at first they excluded Na and Cl from the shoots, accumulating them in the roots; with longer treatment, the ability to regulate Na and Cl concentrations in the plant was lost only in the most salt sensitive cultivar (Volgogradskij), resulting in a massive influx of both ions into the shoot.The salt sensitivity of some tomato cultivars to salinity could be due to both the toxic effect of Na and Cl ions and nutritional imbalance induced by salinity, as plant growth was inversely correlated with Na and Cl contents and directly correlated with K and Ca contents. This study displays that there is not a single salt tolerance mechanism, since different physiological responses among tomato cultivars have been found. 相似文献

Summary Electron probe X-ray microanalysis (XRMA) of freeze-dried ultrathin sections provides the capability of measuring intracellular elemental content. This methodology was used to investigate the stimulus-permeability coupling responses associated with phagocytosis of Pseudomonas aeruginosa by cultured pulmonary alveolar macrophages (PAMs) of rats. PAMs were challenged with P. aeruginosa suspended in Gey's buffer at a bacteria to PAM ratio of 501 for 1 h at 37° C. A 1-mm3 pellet of the unchallenged control PAMs, challenged PAMs and P. aeruginosa alone was quench-frozen in nitrogen-cooled, liquid propane, and 0.1-m cryosections were cut at -100° C. X-ray spectra were collected for nucleus and cytoplasm of 39 control PAMs, 36 challenged PAMs and 40 P. aeruginosa. Concentrations (mmole/kg dry weight) were obtained for Na, Cl, K, Ca, Mg, P, S for each cell. In the control PAMs, the content was similar to other mammalian cells. Moreover, there were no differences in elemental content between nucleus and cytoplasm. In the challenged PAMs, Na concentration was 4 times that of control PAMs (p<0.001) whereas Cl was double (p<0.001), K was 29% lower (p<0.001), and Ca was 4 times higher (p<0.05). The elemental concentration profile in the P. aeruginosa was distinctly different from that of the PAMs: higher Na, Ca, Mg, but lower Cl and K values. These results demonstrate elemental content changes in cultured PAMs challenged with P. aeruginosa that indicate a stimulus-permeability response by membranes associated with the phagocytic process. 相似文献

The objective of this study was to determine the influence of saline stress on the chemical composition of purslane (Portulaca oleracea), in particular the mineral composition. Four salinity levels were investigated using irrigation solutions with electrical conductivity values of 0.8, 6.8, 12.8 and 24.2 dS m?1 and two planting dates (May and July) were tested. Samples of full‐grown leaf and stems of purslane were harvested after 7 and 15 days of the saline treatment exposure. Chemical analysis (dry matter basis) of leaves showed significant differences among the different saline treatments for all the characteristics measured. Salinity levels, planting date and harvest time significantly influenced (P < 0.05) the levels of crude protein, total lipids, ash and carbohydrate content. Salinity treatments did not significantly (P > 0.05) affect the water content of purslane leaves. The crude protein content of purslane leaves decreased with increasing salinity levels and time of exposure to treatment. However, carbohydrates and mineral residue content increased. An unusual phenomenon was noted for intermediate salinity levels, whereby an increase in total lipid content was measured in leaves of plants exposed to salinity treatments of 6.8 and 12.8 dS m?1. The highest mineral residue content was seen in leaves of purslane exposed to the highest salinity treatment. The mineral composition was also affected by salinity levels, Na and Cl uptake, and accumulation increased with increasing salinity in irrigation solution; Mg concentration was not significantly (P > 0.05) affected by salinity levels, although a slight increase was seen, and Ca, K and Zn levels significantly (P < 0.05) decreased. Ca and Zn preferentially accumulated in the leaves, while K and Na values were higher in the stems. A significant increase (P < 0.05) in relative ratio of Na/K, Mg/K, Na/Ca and Mg/Ca was observed with increasing salinity levels. A decrease in the yield of purslane was only observed for the most severe saline treatment, where the highest ratio of Mg/Ca was seen. This study reveals that purslane is relatively tolerant to conditions of moderate salinity, thus improving its potential to become a key vegetable crop for animal and human consumption. 相似文献

Seasonal changes in element contents in mangrove element retranslocation during leaf senescene 总被引:3,自引:0,他引:3
The concentrations of nitrogen (N), phosphorus (P), potassium (K), sodium (Na), calcium (Ca), magnesium (Mg) and chlorine (Cl) were followed monthly in pre-senescence leaves and post-abscission leaves of Kandelia candel (L.) Druce at the Jiulongjiang estuary, and Fujian, China. The element retranslocation efficiency (RE) was studied during leaf senescence. The element RE's evaluated using different methods were compared and a new method was put forward to evaluate element RE during leaf senescence in evergreen trees without concentrated leaf fall. The results showed that during leaf senescence, 77.22% N, 57.53% P, and 44.51% K were translocated out of senescing leaves. Translocation of nutrients out of senescing leaves back into shoots was an important nutnent-conservation mechanism for N and P, was less important for K, and did not occur for Ca, Mg, Na, or Cl. One of the reasons for the high primary productivity of mangroves in nutrient poor sites (especially with low N) is the high nutrient use efficiency. 相似文献

The levels of, zinc, copper, Fe, Zn, Cu, Mn, Mg, K, Na, and Cl and the activity of carbonic anhydrase were determined in lambs
with pneumonia. A significant decrease of p<0.01 level in Zn concentration, in Cu level (p<0.001) and significant increases in K and Na levels (p<0.05) and of the Cu/Zn ratio (p<0.001) were observed in the study group. The carbonic anhydrase activity was decreased in the study group, but the decrease
was not statistically significant (p>0.05). Also, nonsignificant decreases of Fe, Mg, and Cl and increase of the Mn concentration were also observed in the lambs
with pneumonia (p>0.05). Our results suggest that the significant element changes reported here and the Cu/Zn ratio, but not the activity of
carbonic anhydrase, can be used as indicators of pneumococcal infection. 相似文献

Salt tolerance ofEchinochloa crusgalli was studied using gravel culture with root medium electrical conductivity between 3 to 25 dS m-1. Salinity depressed germination and shoot yield. A 50 % reduction in shoot yield occurred at 15.9 dS m-1. The plant was able to maintain its tissue water content and K concentration in the tissue water while Na, Ca and Cl increased
and Mg decreased with increasing root zone salinity. 相似文献

Summary This experiment was conducted in a greenhouse to study the influence of 2 soil-oxygen levels and 4 irrigation levels on the plant response, root decay, concentrations of 12 nutrients, as well as on total amounts of nutrients per avocado seedling (Persea americana Mill.).Reduced soil-oxygen supply to the roots significantly reduced the amount of dry weight per seedling, increased percentage of root decay, and reduced the concentrations of N, P, K, Ca, Mg, and B in the tops, while Na and Fe were increased. Concentrations of K, Mg, Na, and Cl in the roots were decreased, while N and Ca were increased with decreased soil oxygen supply to the roots. Total amounts of N, P, Ca, Mg, Na, and Cl per seedling were decreased with the low soil-oxygen supply to the roots.Only slight differences in dry weight of the tops of seedlings were found. The highest degree of root decay was caused by the irrigation treatment where a water table was present. In the tops, concentrations of N, P, K, Mg, Na, Zn, Cu, Mn, B, and Fe were significantly influenced by differential irrigation treatments; in the roots, concentrations of P, K, Ca, Mg, Na, and Cl were also significantly influenced; and total amounts of N, P, Mg, and Cl the whole seedling were likewise significantly influenced.Significant interactions were noted between the soil-oxygen and irrigation treatments on the dry weight of tops, roots, and total amounts of dry weight produced per seedling. The lowest amount of dry weight of roots and the highest degree of root decay were found in the avocado seedlings grown under low soil-oxygen supply and the irrigation treatment where a water table was present. Several significant interactions between soil oxygen and irrigation on the concentrations of N, P, K, Ca, Zn, and Mn are discussed.University of California, Citrus Research Center and Agricultural Experiment Station, Riverside, California.

Growth and ion accumulation of two rapid-cycling Brassica species differing in salt tolerance 总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1
The response of two rapid-cycling Brassica species differing in tolerance to seawater salinity was studied over a period of 24 days. In response to 8 dS m−1 salinity, the two Brassica species showed clear differences in the changes in relative growth rate (RGR), net assimilation rate (NAR) and leaf area
ratio (LAR). The RGR of B. napus was slightly reduced by salinity, wheareas the RGR of B. carinata was largely reduced in the early stages of salinization. LAR of B. napus was affected by salinity in the later stages of growth and significantly correlated with the reduction in RGR. On the other
hand, the NAR of B. carinata was decreased by salinity, corresponding to the decrease of the RGR of B. carinata. The NAR of B. napus was not significantly affected by salinity according to analysis of covariance. The shoot concentrations of Na, Mg and Cl
increased while the concentrations of K and Ca decreased sharply during the first 5 days of salinization; subsequently, all
ion concentrations remained relatively constant. The concentrations of Na, K, Ca, Mg and Cl in the root were similarly affected
by salinity. There were no significant differences of ion concentrations between species that could be related to the differences
in salt tolerance. Thus, the differences in salt tolerance between species can not be related to differences in specific-ion
effects, but may be related to some factor that reduces the NAR of B. carinata during the early stages of growth. 相似文献

This study was performed to investigate calcium (Ca), inorganic phosphorus (P), potassium (K), magnesium (Mg), and chlorine
(Cl) levels in blood serum at d 60, 100, and 150 of gestation and at d 45 after parturition and to find out the significance
of differences for macromineral levels during these stages of single or twin gestation in Akkaraman sheep. Blood samples of
30 apparently healthy pregnant Akkaraman sheep (15 single pregnancies, 15 twin pregnancies) were used. The samples were analyzed
using a biochemical analyzer for Ca, P, Na, K, and Mg concentrations and using the Schales method for Cl levels. A statistically
significant decrease (p<0.001 and p<0.05) was found on d 100 of pregnancy for Ca levels and for serum inorganic P levels in both groups. Twin pregnant sheep
were found to have lower (p<0.05) serum Ca and inorganic P levels than sheep pregnant with one fetus on d 100 and 150. Significant decreases (p>0.05, p <0.01) for serum Mg levels in both groups were recorded on d 100 and 150 of pregnancy. There were significant increases (p<0.01) in serum Cl levels on d 100 in single and twin pregnant sheep. 相似文献

Vertical distribution of elements in cells and matrix of epiphyseal growth plate cartilage determined by quantitative electron probe analysis 总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1

Quantitative electron probe analysis was performed on chick epiphyseal growth cartilage prepared by two anhydrous methods, ultrathin cryosections and freeze-dried epoxy-embedded tissue. Levels of Na, Mg, P, S, Cl, K, and Ca were determined in cytoplasm, mitochondria, extracellular matrix, matrix vesicles, and mineral nodules in four zones of the cartilage--proliferative, prehypertrophic, early hypertrophic, and early calcification. The exceptionally high levels of Na and K (up to 550 and 200 mmol/kg wet wt, respectively) found in the matrix are believed to be largely bound to fixed anions. Within cells, Na was higher than K (140 versus 20-34 mmol/kg wet wt), a condition that may reflect hypoxia. Ca and P were low in cells and unmineralized matrix. Ca and P were high in mitochondrial granules of the early hypertrophic zone and diminished in amount in the calcifying zone; the converse occurred in matrix vesicles. Mg was low to undetectable except in heavily mineralized structures (i.e., mitochondrial granules, matrix vesicles, and mineral nodules). S levels were high in matrix (approximately 400 mmol/kg wet wt) and increased slightly with maturation. The amount of S present greatly exceeds Ca levels and implies that sulfate, the predominant form of sulfur in proteoglycans, may serve as an ion-exchange mechanism for the passage of Ca through the matrix to sites where Ca and phosphate are precipitated. 相似文献

A salt marsh species, Jaumea carnosa, was used in hydroponic experiments to test the effects of increasing NaCl concentrations on leaf succulence and plant accumulations of K, Ca, Mg, Na and Cl. A nested experimental design was used with four salinity levels. Plants were grown in full Hoagland's solution plus different amounts of NaCl (0.0–1.2 osmoles). Leaf succulence was measured as percent water content as well as vertical elongation of mesophyll cells. There were no corresponding increases in leaf succulence with increasing concentrations of NaCl in the root zone. Plants receiving aerosol spray (40 mg/dm2/day) did not show significant increases in leaf succulence. Leaf succulence was significantly increased when the plants were removed from the NaCl solutions and placed in non-salinized Hoagland's solution. Osmotic concentrations of cell sap in leaf tissues showed significant increases as NaCl concentrations increased in the root zone. The concentrations of K, Ca and Mg were higher in plants grown without NaCl than in those grown with NaCl. The accumulations of K in the root tissues were always higher than those of the shoot tissues. Although there was a two-fold difference in NaCl concentrations at the highest levels, the concentrations of Na in the shoot tissues were relatively similar. The results of the Cl analyses of shoot tissues showed a similar pattern of regulation of uptake. This regulation of salt uptake may be important in preventing injury by limiting accumulations of salt in plant tissues when growing in soils of high osmotic potentials. 相似文献

The morphological responses of the exocrine pancreas of the adult male rat to soybean trypsin inhibitor (STI) were studied by ultrastructural morphometry and electron probe X-ray microanalysis. STI administered orally in drinking water for 14 days resulted in a 72% increase in the wet weight of the pancreas. This enlargement was due, largely, to an increase in acinar cell mass. Volume increases in the acinar cell mass and extra-acinar cell compartment were 72 and 30%, respectively. The estimated total number of acinar cells in the mean exocrine pancreas was 500 million in the control and 630 million in the experimental group, representing an increase of 27%. Acinar cell volume was 1,790 microns 3 for the control and 2,457 microns 3 for the STI group. The pronounced morphometric changes of the organelles in the STI group were: the mean nucleolar volume increased by 56%; the volume of zymogen granular mass per cell increased by 93%; the volume of the Golgi complex and the condensing vacuoles per cell increased by 52 and 100%, respectively, whereas the membrane area of the Golgi complex and the condensing vacuoles increased by 98 and 47%, respectively. Spectral analysis of seven elements (Na, Mg, P, S, Cl, K and Ca) showed significant changes for nuclei, zymogen granules and mitochondria following STI: nuclei showed Na, P, K increased; zymogen granules showed Na, P, S, K increased, Cl decreased; mitochondrial particles showed Mg, P, Cl, Ca increased, and the mitochondrial matrix showed S decreased. The persistent uptake of STI probably resulted in a continual release of a trophic hormone acting on pancreatic tissue components, consequently causing hyperplasia and hypertrophy of the exocrine pancreas to accommodate a heightened demand for synthesis of exportable proteins. 相似文献

We used quantitative electron-probe energy-dispersive x-raymicroanalysis to localize endogenous Na, Cl, K, P, S, Mg andCa in cryofixed and freeze-dried cryosections of the cap (i.e.the putative site of graviperception) and elongating zone (i.e.site of gravicurvature) of horizontally oriented roots of Zeamays. Ca, Na, Cl, K and Mg accumulate along the lower side ofcaps of horizontally oriented roots. The most dramatic asymmetriesof these ions occur in the apoplast, especially the mucilage.We could not detect any significant differences in the concentrationsof these ions in the central cytoplasm of columella cells alongthe upper and lower sides of caps of horizontally-oriented roots.However, the increased amounts of Na, Cl, K and Mg in the longitudinalwalls of columella cells along the lower side of the cap suggestthat these ions may move down through the columella tissue ofhorizontally-oriented roots. Ca also accumulates (largely inthe mucilage) along the lower side of the elongating zone ofhorizontally-oriented roots, while Na, P, Cl and K tend to accumulatealong the upper side of the elongating zone. Of these ions,only K increases in concentration in the cytoplasm and longitudinalwalls of cortical cells in the upper vs lower sides of the elongatingzone. These results indicate that (1) gravity-induced asymmetriesof ions differ significantly in the cap and elongating zoneof graviresponding roots, (2) Ca accumulates along the lowerside of the cap and elongating zone of graviresponding roots,(3) increased growth of the upper side of the elongating zoneof horizontally-oriented roots correlates positively with increasedamounts of K in the cytoplasm and longitudinal walls of corticalcells, and (4) the apoplast (especially the mucilage) may bean important component of the pathway via which ions move ingraviresponding rots of Zea mays. These results are discussedrelative to mechanisms for graviperception and gravicurvatureof roots. Corn, gravitropism (root), ions, x-ray microanalysis, Zea mays 相似文献

Effect of salinity on composition, viability and germination of seeds of Chenopodium quinoa Willd 总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1
Salinity influences plant growth, seed yield and seed quality even of halophytic crops such as Chenopodium quinoa. Plant growth, total seed yield, number of seeds, fresh weight and dry weight of seeds, were all significantly reduced in
the presence of salinity. Only at high salinity did the content of proteins (as well as total N) increase significantly in
the seeds whereas the content of total carbohydrates (as well as total C) decrease. Aside from that the capacity for germination
was diminished by a reduced seed size and a disproportionate reduction of the volume of the perisperm. However, the reduced
capacity seemed to be compensated by an accelerated germination owing to high Na and Cl concentrations leading to a low water
potential in the walls of the plant ovary. At high salinity the passage of NaCl to the seed interior was hindered by the seed
cover. There was an obvious gradient between potentially toxic (Na and Cl) and essentially needed elements (K, Mg, Ca, P and
S) across the seed coat of salt treated plants and also a significant change of the distribution of elements in the embryo.
The results indicate a highly protected seed interior leading to a high salinity resistance of quinoa seeds. 相似文献

Individual cells of Staurastrum planctonicum (Teil.) within a mixed freshwater phytoplankton sample were analyzed by scanning electron microscope X-ray microanalysis to determine their elemental composition. X-ray emission spectra routinely showed clear peaks of P, S, and Cl, plus monovalent (Na, K, and divalent (Mg, Ca) cations. Si and Cu were also present in lower quantities. Concentrations of individual elements (expressed as mmol.kg−1 dry weight) varied widely among cells, with values over the sample population approximating to a normal distribution. Although intracellular anion and cation levels varied considerably, significant correlations occurred between concentrations of monovalent and divalent cations (mean ratio 1.4), major diffusible anions and cations (mean ratio 1,2), and total levels of electropositive and electronegative elements (mean ratio 1.2). The monovalent cations of K and Na occurred at a mean ratio of 1.2 and were not significantly correlated. Concentrations of individual elements (except Si) showed clear positive correlations within the analyses, with 12 highly significant (99% probability) correlations out of 36 possible combinations. Principal factor analysis showed that elemental correlations were determined by two major factors, with two resulting groups of elements—(Na, S, Cl, Ca, Cu) and (Mg, P, K). Statistical relationships between elements followed a clear correlation pattern, which retained its characteristics even when elemental concentrations were expressed per unit P rather than per unit dry weight. Elemental concentrations were closely similar in matching, but not nonmatching, smicells. The statistical pattern of elemental associations noted in Staurastrum parallels that seen in X-ray micro-analytical studies of other algae but differs in detail. This pattern of statistical associations has biological implications in terms of cell compartmentation, characterization of different cell types, and cell interactions with their environment. 相似文献

Summary The intracellular electrolyte concentrations of the bullfrog corneal epithelium have been determined in thin freezedried cryosections using the technique of electron-microprobe analysis. Under control conditions, transepithelial potential short-circuited and either side of the cornea incubated in Conway's solution, the mean intracellular concentrations (in mmol/kg wet weight) were 8.0 for Na, 18.4 for Cl and 117.3 for K. These values are in good agreement with ion activities previously obtained by Reuss et al. (Am. J. Physiol.
244:C336–C347, 1983) under open-circuit conditions. From a comparison of the chemical concentrations and activities of Na and K a mean intracellular activity coefficient of 0.75 is calculated. For small ions no significant differences between nuclear and cytoplasmic concentration values were detectable. The Cl concentrations in the different epithelial layers were virtually identical and showed parallel changes at varying states of Cl secretion, suggesting that the epithelium represents a functional syncytium. For Na a concentration gradient between theouter and inner epithelial layer was observed, which can be accounted for by two different models of epithelial cooperation. The behavior of the intracellular Na and Cl concentrations after removal of Na, Cl or K from the outer or inner bathing medium provides support for a passive electrodiffusive Cl efflux across the apical membrane and a Na-coupled Cl uptake across the basolateral membrane. The results are inconclusive with regard to the exact mechanism of Cl uptake, indicating either a variable stoichiometry of the symporter or the presence of more than one transport system. Furthermore, a dependence of intracellular Cl on HCO3 and CO2 was observed. Extracellular measurements in corneal stroma demonstrated that ion concentrations in this space are in free equilibrium with the inner bath. 相似文献
