This investigation examined the effects of Streptozotocin diabetes in pregnancy on several parameters of glucocorticoid action in the rat placenta. Pregnant diabetic rats showed reduced body weight, increased adrenal weight and serum corticosterone concentrations. Glucocorticoid receptors in placental cytosol of labyrinthine zone, measured in the absence of MoO4Na2 were similar in control and diabetic rats, but after addition of MoO4Na2 receptor number were moderately, but significantly reduced in diabetic placentas (P less than 0.01). No changes in affinity were detected in saturation analysis. Furthermore, transformation of the receptor assessed by its capacity for binding to DNA-cellulose, was enhanced in diabetic animals, suggesting increased efficiency of the receptor-bound hormone. Since the function of the glucocorticoid receptor of rat placenta may be the inhibition of local progesterone production (Heller and De Nicola, J. steroid Biochem. 19 (1983) 1339-1343), we determined progesterone synthesis in vitro and found that diabetic placentas synthesized significantly less progesterone than control tissue (P less than 0.05). Lastly, we found that the metabolism of corticosterone to 11-dehydrocorticosterone, while declining in control placentas as pregnancy advanced, it was sustained in diabetic pregnancy. It is suggested that diabetic rat placentas showed increased activity towards the glucocorticoid receptor, resulting in reduction in progesterone synthesis and sustained catabolism of corticosterone. The latter may possibly constitute a compensatory mechanism to protect the fetal compartment from high levels of maternal glucocorticoids. 相似文献

Erwinia soft rot causes destructive and serious damages to many vegetable crops including potato, in the field, transit and storage periods. The role of certain potato tuber constituents in the physiology of disease resistance has been investigated. Pectin substances and calcium contents of potato tuber had a pronounced role in the physiology of disease resistance. Alpha and Santa (less susceptible cultivars) contained the higher amount of pectin and calcium compared by Mirkal, Diamant, Askort, Geganite and Nicola cultivars (more susceptible cultivars). Tubers extracts of all healthy tested potato tubers cultivars contained fructose except Santa cultivar and glucose except Alpha and Mirkal cultivars. Tuber extracts of the more susceptible cultivars (Nicola and Askort) contained a higher concentration of glucose and fructose than those of less susceptible cultivars (Geganite, Mirkal, Santa, Alpha and Diamant). 相似文献

The quaternary marine terrace of «Piano San Nicola is situated on a raising-up country ofthe Apennines. Stratigraphy and geomorphology of the terrace is presented, with an ecologic study of the associated molluscan fauna.A paleoecological and sedimentological reconstitution is drawn up as a synthesis of those data.(Shallow slimy to sandy marine bottom with euryhaline animals).A new interpretation of the terrace is given: more recent than Eutyrrhenian, while precedent studies founded upon no chronological value foraminifera, described it older. 相似文献

Germinated tubers of selected cultivars Kera, Resy, Nicola and Oreb were made healthier by heat treatment. They were derived
from germ explants on MS media with the addition of BAP 1 mg 1-1 and IAA 0.2 mg 1−1. After sufficient multiplication of stems, optimum conditions of the photoperiod were followed for the induction of axillary
microtubers on stem segments in media with BAP 10 mg 1-1 and 8% sucrose. The ability of tuberization is different: the early cvs. Kera and Resy induce earlier tubers at a long photoperiod
and late cvs. Nicola and Oreb tuber rather at a short photoperiod. In suitable photoperiods the inhibitory substances accelerate
the induction of axillary tubers and limit the formation of adventitious roots. Synthetic inhibitors applied in induction
media increase the number of the tubers.
The quality of tubers was affected by the addition of a mixture of amino acids: aspartic, glutamic, lysine and proline in
concentrations of 12.5, 25 and 50 mg.1-1 into the induction media. In the course of cultivation the types which were growing well, formed tubers and increased the
volume were selected. The representation of amino acids in the tubers was not significantly affected, there was only an increase
in proline. The higher content of amino acids was reflected in the increase of proteins in the tubers. The selected clones
are further multiplied. 相似文献

A defective signal peptide in a 19-kD alpha-zein protein causes the unfolded protein response and an opaque endosperm phenotype in the maize De*-B30 mutant 总被引:2,自引:0,他引:2

Defective endosperm* (De*)-B30 is a dominant maize (Zea mays) mutation that depresses zein synthesis in the developing endosperm. The mutant kernels have an opaque, starchy phenotype, malformed zein protein bodies, and highly increased levels of binding protein and other chaperone proteins in the endosperm. Immunoblotting revealed a novel alpha-zein protein in De*-B30 that migrates between the 22- and 19-kD alpha-zein bands. Because the De*-B30 mutation maps in a cluster of 19-kD alpha-zein genes, we characterized cDNA clones encoding these proteins from a developing endosperm library. This led to the identification of a 19-kD alpha-zein cDNA in which proline replaces serine at the 15th position of the signal peptide. Although the corresponding gene does not appear to be highly expressed in De*-B30, it was found to be tightly linked with the mutant phenotype in a segregating F2 population. Furthermore, when the protein was synthesized in yeast cells, the signal peptide appeared to be less efficiently processed than when serine replaced proline. To test whether this gene is responsible for the De*-B30 mutation, transgenic maize plants expressing this sequence were created. T1 seeds originating from the transformants manifested an opaque kernel phenotype with enhanced levels of binding protein in the endosperm, similar to De*-B30. These results are consistent with the hypothesis that the De*-B30 mutation causes a defective signal peptide in a 19-kD alpha-zein protein. 相似文献

The use of complementary and alternative medicines-including a variety of herbal therapies-by patients undergoing cancer chemotherapy has been well documented. Despite such widespread use, however, the benefits and potential mechanisms of such herbal medicines remain largely anecdotal. In this study we examined the effects of a Chinese herbal formula, Bing De Ling, when administered as an adjunct to chemotherapeutic agent 5-fluorouracil (5-FU) in the CT26 mouse colon cancer model. 5-FU and Bing De Ling were administered to both nave and CT26 mouse colon cancer-bearing BALB/c mice. Our results indicate that although the herbal formula alone did not result in antitumor effects under experimental conditions, it significantly enhanced 5-FU-induced tumor growth inhibition. Oral administration of Bing De Ling also increased survival rates of both tumor-bearing and tumor-free mice treated with 5-FU. Furthermore, oral administration of Bing De Ling reduced weight loss in tumor-free mice receiving 5-FU when compared to tumor-free mice that received 5-FU alone. Our data further show that 5-FU upregulates serum levels of IL-6, known to contribute to weight loss, in tumor-free mice, and that this increase in IL-6 is significantly less in mice that received Bing De Ling in addition to 5-FU. These data show Bing De Ling both enhances the antitumor responses of 5-FU and ameliorates side effects. 相似文献

De Laet (2015) claimed that minimization of ad hoc hypotheses of homoplasy does not lead to a preference for trivial optimizations when analysing unaligned sequence data, as claimed by Wheeler (2012; see also Kluge and Grant, 2006). In addition, De Laet asserted that Kluge and Grant's (2006) parsimony rationale is internally inconsistent in terms of Baker's (2003) theoretical framework. We argue that De Laet used extraneous presuppositions to critique Wheeler's position and, as such, his criticism should be considered cautiously in terms of its scope. Finally, we demonstrate that considering Kluge and Grant's parsimony rationale as inconsistent rests on De Laet's misunderstanding of the ideographic character concept and the consequences of relating it to Baker's rationale. 相似文献

Italian anthropologist, folklorist, and historian of religions Ernesto De Martino was an eclectic and creative intellectual who fostered a whole generation of studies on popular culture in Italy. In this article, I focus on one particular aspect of his work, a method referred to as "critical ethnocentrism," attempting to situate De Martino's concerns in the historical moment of postwar ideological struggles. De Martino's approach, however, has a wider relevance to understanding the relationships between the ethnographer and the subjects of the research, as well as the historical and political contexts in which they meet. 相似文献

Cell surface glycoproteins of hepatocytes and hepatoma cells identified by monoclonal antibodies 总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1

Eight hybridoma cell lines secreting monoclonal antibodies (MABs) directed to cell surface components of rat hepatocytes were isolated. The antigens of seven MABs were identified as glycosylated plasma membrane proteins. The presence of these glycoproteins on normal hepatocytes and hepatocellular carcinoma cells was analyzed. A semi-quantitative enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay revealed that only two MABs (Be 8.7, Ne 11.3) recognized proteins which were expressed not only in normal liver but also in chemically induced transplantable Morris hepatomas and hepatoma-derived cell lines. The expression of six antigens was found to be sensitive to transformation. The domain specificity of the MABs was determined by indirect immunofluorescence on sections of liver tissue containing neoplastic nodules. Three MABs (Be 8.4, Ne 11.1, Ne 11.3) specifically bound to the sinusoidal domain and two MABs (Be 9.2, De 13.4) to the bile canalicular domain. These five antigens were transformation-sensitive except for the glycoprotein recognized by the MAB Ne 11.3. Three MABs (Be 8.7, Be 9.1, De 13.2) also showed intracellular immunofluorescence. Two of the antigens (Be 9.1, De 13.2) were not present in hepatomas. The relative molar masses (Mr) of the glycoproteins were determined after protein immunoblotting and immunoprecipitation. Four MABs (Be 8.7, Be 9.1, Be 9.2, De 13.4) recognized antigens with a Mr of 110 000 but did not mutually cross-react. The antigen recognized by MAB De 13.4 was identified as the ectoenzyme dipeptidyl peptidase IV (EC 3.4.14.-). 相似文献

Diffusion coefficients for the intercellular movement of fluorescent tracers have been measured in the epidermis of a larval beetle. Fluorescent tracer was injected into a cell and the spread of tracer from cell to cell in this monolayer was recorded by a TV camera. Fluorescence intensities were digitized from the TV images at successive times after the start of injection at various distances from the source by a microcomputer interfaced with a video analyzer. From the relationship between concentration (measured as light intensity), time and distance, an effective diffusion coefficient (De) is calculated for the tracer in the tissue. In newly ecdysed epidermis, De for carboxyfluorescein (CF) is 2.7 X 10(-7) cm2/s, and De for lissamine rhodamine B (LRB) is 1.2 X 10(-7) cm2/s, whereas in intermolt epidermis the De's for CF and LRB are 3.7 X 10(-7) and 1.2 X 10(-7) cm2/s, respectively. These diffusion coefficients are only an order of magnitude lower than their values in water. The ratio of De for the two tracers at these two stages of development differs from the ratio predicted in cytoplasm alone, with the movement of the slightly larger molecule (LRB) being impeded relative to that of the smaller molecule (CF). This suggests that the properties of the membrane channels amplify differences in the rates of movement of molecules of similar size. This may be important during cell patterning in development. De for CF was also monitored as junctional resistance was increased in the epidermis. During 30 min of exposure to 0.25 mM chlorpromazine, De dropped to 20% of its initial value of 5 X 10(-7) cm2/s, implying that the junctional membrane, rather than cytoplasm, is the major barrier to molecular diffusion among the cells. 相似文献

Udinia, an Ethiopian coccid genus, is redefined and a key is given to the thirteen species now recognised: bruncki sp. n. , catori (Green) comb. n. [= Lecanium subhirsutum Newstead syn. n. ], farquharsoni (Newstead) [= U.exoleta (De Lotto) syn. n. ], glabra De Lotto, ikoyensis sp. n. , lobayana (Balachowsky & Ferrero) comb. n. , newsteadi sp. n. , nigeriensis sp. n. , pattersoni sp. n. , paupercula De Lotto, pterolobina De Lotto, scitula De Lotto, setigera (Newstead). Five species are described as new and three species are redescribed and for these lectotypes are designated. The morphological characters used are discussed and listed and intraspecific variations shown by two of the species are tabulated. The distribution of all the species is recorded on two maps and the literature dealing with associations between ants and Udinia and related coccid genera is briefly reviewed. 相似文献
