Objective To investigate the effects of endothelial microvesicles (EMVs) induced by calcium ionophore A23187 on H9c2 cardiomyocytes. Methods Human umbilical vein endothelial cells (HUVECs) were treated with 10 μmol/L A23187 for 30 min. EMVs from HUVECs were isolated by ultracentrifugation from the conditioned culture medium. EMVs were characterized using 1 and 2 Ilm latex beads and anti- PE-CD144 antibody by flow cytometry. For functional research, EMVs at different concentrations were co- cultured with H9c2 cardiomyocytes for 6 h. Cell viability of H9c2 cells and the activity of LDH leaked from H9c2 cells were tested by colorimetry. Moreover, apoptosis of H9c2 cells was observed through Hoechst 33258 staining and tested by FITC-Annexin V/Pl double staining. Results EMVs were induced by A23187 on HUVECs, and isolated by ultracentrifugation. We identified the membrane vesicles (〈 1 μm) induced by A23187 were CD144 positive. In addition, the EMVs could significantly reduce the viability of H9c2 cells, and increase LDH leakage from H9c2 cells in a dose dependent manner (P〈0.05). Condensed nuclei could be observed with the increasing concentrations of EMVs through Hoechst 33258 staining. Furthermore, increased apoptosis rates of H9c2 cells could be assessed through FITC-Annexin V/PI double staining by flow cytometry. Conclusion Microvesicles could be released from HUVECs after induced by A23187 through calcium influx, and these EMVs exerted a pro-apoptotic effect on H9c2 cells by induction of apoptosis. 相似文献

In a previous study, a salt stress-induced programmed cell death (PCD) model was established in rice root tip cells. Here, by using Wuyunjing 8th rice seedlings, the effects of lanthanum on salt stress-induced PCD early events were studied. The results indicated that low concentrations (10 μmol/L), but not high concentrations (100 μmol/L) of LaCl3 could effectively prevent salt stress-induced PCD. Further study demonstrated that in the early stages of salt-induced PCD process, 10 μmol/L of La^3+ could prevent the increase of cytoplasmic calcium levels, inhibit reactive oxygen species (ROS) production, and enhance the ROS-scavenging enzyme activities such as superoxide dismutases (SOD) and ascorbate peroxidase (APX). Imidazole (20 mmol/L), the inhibitor of nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide phosphate-oxidase (NADPH oxidase), could alleviate the occurrence of PCD obviously, and such alleviation could be enhanced by the addition of La^3+, indicating the involvement of NADPH oxidase in the salt stress-induced PCD process. Taken together, lanthanum could prevent salt stress-induced PCD occurrence in the rice root tip cells by blocking the calcium influx under stress, which was followed by inhibiting calcium-dependent NADPH oxidase activity to prevent O2^·- production and, enhancing the cytosolic antioxidative enzyme activities to scavenge the reactive oxygen species. 相似文献

Double fertilization is a key process of sexual reproduction in higher plants. The role of calcium in the activation of female sex cells through fertilization has recently received a great deal of attention. The establishment of a Ca^2+-imaging technique for living, single, female sex cells is a difficult but necessary prerequisite for evaluating the role of Ca^2+ in the transduction of external stimuli, including the fusion with the sperm cell, to internal cellular processes. The present study describes the use of Fluo-3 for reporting the Ca^2+ signal in isolated, single, female sex cells, egg cells and central cells, of tobacco plants. A suitable loading protocol was optimized by loading the cells at pH 5.6 with 2 μM Fluo-3 for 30 min at 30 ℃. Under these conditions, several key factors related to in vitro fertilization were also investigated in order to test their possible effects on the [Ca^2+]cyt of the female sex cells. The results indicated that the bovine serum albumin-fusion system was superior to the polyethlene glycol-fusion system for detecting calcium fluctuations in female sex cells during fertilization. The central cell was fertilized with the sperm cell in bovine serum albumin; however, no evident calcium dynamic was detected, implying that a transient calcium rise might be a specific signal for egg cell fertilization. 相似文献

In this study, a chemically modified homo zwitterionic polysaccharide (ZPS), sulfated chitosan, was used to examine its effects on murine immune response. The results showed that homoZPS could markedly promote the proliferation of both splenic T/B cells and adhesive cells. In particular, flow cytometry assay demonstrated that the sulfated chitosan could non-specifically activate CD3+ and CD8+ T cells proliferation in vitro. The effectiveness of sulfated chitosan as adjuvant was tested using bovine serum albumin (BSA) and diphtheria toxin (DT) as antigens and compared with that of aluminum hydroxide. The levels of specific antibodies to BSA and DT significantly increased after homoZPS vaccination. Both homoZPS and aluminum hydroxide adjuvants could protect mice against the attack of DT from edemas of spleen and tail. The present findings demonstrated the chemically derived homoZPS could be a potential candidate in the development of T-lymphocyte dependent vaccine adjuvants. 相似文献

This study investigated visual response properties of retinal ganglion cells(RGCs) under high glucose levels. Extracellular single-unit responses of RGCs from mouse retinas were recorded. And the eyecup was prepared as a flat mount in a recording chamber and superfused with Ames medium. The averaged RF size of the ON RGCs(34.1±2.9, n=14) was significantly smaller than the OFF RGCs under the HG(49.3±0.3, n=12)(P0.0001) conditions. The same reduction pattern was also observed in the osmotic control group(HM) between ON and OFF RGCs(P0.0001). The averaged luminance threshold(LT) of ON RGCs increased significantly under HG or HM(HG: P0.0001; HM: P0.0002). OFF RGCs exhibited a similar response pattern under the same conditions(HG: P0.01; HM: P0.0002). The averaged contrast gain of ON cells was significantly lower than that of OFF cells with the HM treatment(P0.015, unpaired Student's t test). The averaged contrast gain of ON cells was significantly higher than OFF cells with the HG treatment(P0.0001). The present results suggest that HG reduced receptive field center size, suppressed luminance threshold, and attenuated contrast gain of RGCs. The impact of HG on ON and OFF RGCs may be mediated via different mechanisms. 相似文献

Summary Primary cultures of rabbit corneal epithelial cells have been developed as an in vitro system to predict irritancy potential
and delayed cytotoxicity of surfactants in our laboratory. The objective of this study was to evaluate the effects of the
surfactant sodium dodecyl sulfate (SDS), a common ingredient in consumer products, on intracellular Ca2+, pH, and mitochondrial function in this culture system. Ca2+ and pH were measured in single living corneal epithelial cells by ratio imaging of fura-2 and 2,′7′-bis(carboxyethyl)-5(6)-carboxyfluorescein
fluorescence, respectively. Mitochondrial function was examined by probing mitochondrial membrane potential with the fluorescent
dye rhodamine 123 and by measuring the ratio of ATP to ADP with an HPLC method. Cell viability was determined by fluorescence
imaging of propidium iodide in single cells and LDH leakage assay in populations of cells. SDS (40 μg/ml) increased intracellular
Ca2+ from 180±28nM to 453±86 nM within 2 min, and induced intracellular acidification (pHi dropped 0.3 units in 15 min). Treatment of the cultures with SDS
also resulted in dissipation of the mitochondrial membrane potential and decrease of intracellular ATP/ADP. SDS-induced Ca2+ elevation and intracellular acidification preceded the loss of cell viability observed 20 min after exposure. However, SDS-induced
cell injury does not appear to be triggered by extracellular Ca2+-influx, as absence of extracellular Ca2+ did not attenuate SDS-induced cytotoxicity while it completely blocked ionomycin-induced cytotoxicity. In summary, we observed
a series of intracellular events that occurred temporally after exposure to the surfactant: elevation of intracellular Ca2+ and intracellular acidification, dissipation of mitochondrial membrane potential, decrease of ATP/ADP ratio, and subsequent
cell injury. 相似文献

AIM To establish a hypoxic environment for promoting osteogenesis in rat marrow stromal cells(MSCs) using osteogenic matrix cell sheets(OMCSs).METHODS Rat MSCs were cultured in osteogenic media under one of four varying oxygen conditions: Normoxia(21% O_2) for 14 d(NN), normoxia for 7 d followed by hypoxia(5% O_2) for 7 d(NH), hypoxia for 7 d followed by normoxia for 7 d(HN), or hypoxia for 14 d(HH). Osteogenesis was evaluated by observing changes in cell morphology and calcium deposition, and by measuring osteocalcin secretion(ELISA) and calcium content. In vivo syngeneic transplantation using OMCSs and β-tricalcium phosphate discs, preconditioned under NN or HN conditions, was also evaluated by histology, calcium content measurements,and real-time quantitative PCR.RESULTS In the NN and HN groups, differentiated, cuboidal-shaped cells were readily observed, along with calcium deposits. In the HN group, the levels of secreted osteocalcin increased rapidly from day 10 as compared with the other groups, and plateaued at day 12(P 0.05). At day 14, the HN group showed the highest amount of calcium deposition. In vivo, the HN group showed histologically prominent new bone formation, increased calcium deposition, and higher collagen type Ⅰ?messenger RNA expression as compared with the NN group.CONCLUSION The results of this study indicate that modifying oxygen tension is an effective method to enhance the osteogenic ability of MSCs used for OMCSs. 相似文献

Effects of Nutrient Limitation on Pigments in Thalassiosira weissflogii and Prorocentrum donghaiense
The response of Prorocentrum donghaiense and Thalassiosira weissfiogii pigments under nitrate (N) and phosphate (P) limitation were studied using HPLC and in vivo fluorescence protocols in batch cultures. For P. donghaiense, the pigment ratio was kept stable under different nutrient conditions from the results of HPLC. For T. weissflogii, there was a lower ratio of chlorophyllide to Chl a during the exponential phase, but the reverse during the stationary phase. Different members of the phytoplankton had different pigments response mechanisms under nutrient limitation. From the results of in vivo fluorescence, the ratio of peridinin to Chl a for P. donghaiense increased in nutrient-free culture, while it was kept stable for nutrient-limited cultures during the exponential phase. For T. weissflogii, the ratio of fucoxanthin to Chl a for each culture increased during the exponential phase, but the ratio under N limitation was apparently lower than that for P limitation during the stationary phase. The results indicate that both pigment ratios from HPLC and in vivo fluorescence of To weissflogii were changed greatly under different nutrient conditions, which suggests that both ratios could be used as indicators of algal physiological status in different nutrient conditions. 相似文献

During embryonic development, pluripotent endoderm tissue in the developing foregut may adopt pancreatic fate or hepatic fate depending on the activation of key developmental regulators. Transdifferentiation occurs between hepatocytes and pancreatic cells under specific conditions. Hepatocytes and pancreatic cells have the common endodermal progenitor cells. In this study we isolated hepatic stem/progenitor cells from embryonic day (ED) 12-14 Kun-Ming mice with fluorescence-activated cell sorting (FACS). The cells were cultured under specific conditions. The cultured cells deploy dithizone staining and immunocytochemical staining at the 15th, 30th and 40th day after isolation. The results indicated the presence of insulin-producing cells. When the insulin-producing cells were transplanted into alloxaninduced diabetic mice, the nonfasting blood glucose level was reduced. These results suggested that fetal liver stem/progenitor cells could be converted into insulin-producing cells under specific culture conditions. Fetal liver stem/progenitor cells could become the potential source of insulin-producing cells for successful cell transplantation therapy strategies of diabetes. 相似文献

The effects of oligomycin on photosynthesis and respiration in relation to ATP production in chloroplasts and mitochondria
were investigated in protoplasts isolated from the detached pea (Pisum sativum L cv. Iłowiecki.) and barley (Hordeum vulgare L. cv. Gunilla) leaves treated 5 mM Pb(NO3)2. The oligomycin (OM), an inhibitor of oxidative phosphorylation at 0.1 μM concentration caused the inhibition of photosynthesis
rate in the protoplasts from both the control and the Pb-treated pea leaves. The respiration rate and ATP/ADP ratio in the
protoplasts and the activity of ATPase in mitochondria, were also diminished in the control protoplasts. These effects were
not observed in the protoplasts and mitochondria isolated from the Pb-treated leaves. Oligomycin, an inhibitor of photophosphorylation
at 10 μM concentration decreased ATPase activity in chloroplasts from both the control and the Pb- treated leaves.
Using the method of rapid fractionation of barley protoplasts it was shown that the ATP/ADP ratio in the mitochondria from
Pb-treated leaves was largely suppressed (from 1.8 to 0.4) by OM under nonphotorespiratory conditions (high CO2), whereas under photorespiratory conditions (low CO2) this ratio was high (5.3) and under OM decreased less (to 3.1).
Our results indicate that oligomycin, in organelle isolated from Pb-treated leaves, had no inhibitory effect on the mitochondrial
ATPase, whereas it inhibited chloroplasts ATPase. We suggest that Pb ions affected the catalytic cycle and/or conformational
changes of ATPase in pea chloroplasts differently than in mitochondria. The differences in Pb responses may reflect fine mechanisms
for the regulation of ATP production in the plant cells under stress conditions. 相似文献

Intracellular recordings were made from amacrine cells in the isolated, superfused carp retina, and the effects of γ-aminobutyric acid (GABA) on sustained and transient ON signals of these cells were studied. Exogenous GABA application partially suppressed the sustained response of ON amacrine cells, which could be completely reversed by picrotoxin (PTX), a chloride channel blocker, and by bicuculline (BCC), a specific GABA_A receptor antagonist. On the other hand, suppression by GABA of the ON response which was predominantly driven by rod signals in a certain portion of transient ON-OFF amacrine cells was completely blocked by PTX, but not by BCC, indicating that GABA_C receptors may be involved in the effect. These results suggest that GABA_A and GABA_C receptors may be respectively involved in mediating the transmission of sustained and transient signals in the carp inner retina. 相似文献

Mismatch negativity of ERP in cross-modal attention 总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1
Event-related potentials were measured in 12 healthy youth subjects aged 19-22 using the paradigm "cross-modal and delayed response" which is able to improve unattended purity and to avoid the effect of task target on the deviant components of ERP. The experiment included two conditions: (i) Attend visual modality, ignore auditory modality; (ii) attend auditory modality, ignore visual modality. The stimuli under the two conditions were the same. The difference wave was obtained by subtracting ERPs of the standard stimuli from that of the deviant stim-uli. The present results showed that mismatch negativity (MMN), N2b and P3 components can be produced in the auditory and visual modalities under attention condition. However, only MMN was observed in the two modalities un-der inattention condition. Auditory and visual MMN have some features in common: their largest MMN wave peaks were distributed respectively over their primary sensory projection areas of the scalp under attention condition, but over front 相似文献

Using a two-wave fluorescence probe, Fura-2, we studied changes in the intracellular concentration of calcium ions ([Ca2+]i) resulting from activation of muscarinic and purine receptors in single myocytes of the guinea-pig small intestine. Applications
of the respective agonists added to the normal Krebs solution (1.0, 10.0, and 100.0 μM carbachol, CCh, as well as 10.0 and
100.0 μM ATP) induced a rise in the [Ca2+]i. Carbachol evoked an increase in the [Ca2+]i, including two components (a rapid and a plateaulike), while ATP under analogous conditions led only to a short-lasting rise
in the [Ca2+]i. Transients induced by CCh or ATP applied in different concentrations, which exceeded a certain level, did not significantly
differ from each other in their amplitudes, i.e., they were generated according to an all-or-none principle. In the nominally
Ca-and Mg-free solution, CCh and ATP induced only rapid increases in the [Ca2+]i in myocytes. The absence of the slow component in the [Ca2+]i elevation upon the action of CCh under such conditions indicates that the effect of ATP, as compared with that of CCh, is
not related to activation of the entry of Ca2+ ions into cells through voltage-operated calcium channels. After the addition of CCh, repeated application of CCh or ATP
induced no effect, while application of CCh after the addition of ATP initiated a rise in the [Ca2+]i. These data show that intracellular calcium stores are depleted completely upon the action of CCh, while they are depleted
only partially after the action of ATP. An inhibitor of phospholipase C (PLC), U-73122 (5.0 μM), completely blocked rises
in the [Ca2+]i induced by both CCh and ATP; therefore, the release of Ca2+ ions from the intracellular calcium stores after application of these agonists is mediated by PLC. We hypothesize that the
difference in the release of Ca2+ ions from the intracellular stores observed in our experiments upon activation of choline and purine receptors (partial and
complete depletion of the stores upon the action of ATP and CCh, respectively) is responsible for the opposite functional
effects of the above-mentioned neurotransmitters on smooth muscles.

To observe the effects of simulated microgravity on beta islet cell culture, we have compared the survival rates and the insulin levels of the isolated rat islet cells cultured at micro- and normal gravity conditions. The survival rates of the cells cultured were determined by acridine orange-propidium iodide double-staining on day 3, 7 and 14. The morphology of the cells was observed by electron microscopy. Insulin levels were measured by radio immuno assays. Our results show that the cell number cultured under the microgravity condition is significantly higher than that under the routine condition (P<0.01). Some tubular structure shown by transmission electron microscopy, possibly for the transport of nutrients, were formed intercellularly in the microgravity cultured group on day 7. There were also abundant secretion particles and mitochondria in the cytoplasm of the cells. Scanning electron microscopy showed that there were holes formed between each islet, possibly connecting with the nutrient trans 相似文献

The effect of virus-host interactions on subsequent generations is poorly understood. The evaluation of the effects of viral infection on inheritance of quantitative traits in the progeny of infected plants and elucidation of a possible relationship between chiasma frequency in the infected plants and variability of traits in the progeny were investigated. The current study involved genotypes of four intraspecific hybrids of tomato (Solanum lycopersicum L.), their parental forms and two additional cultivars. Used as infection were the tobacco mosaic virus (TMV) and potato virus X (PVX). The consequences of the effect of viral infection were evaluated based on chromosome pairing in diakinesis and/or by examining quantitative and qualitative traits in the progeny of the infected tomato plants. Tomato plants infected with TMV + PVX were found to differ in chiasma frequency per pollen mother cell or per bivalent. Deviations have been observed for genotypes of both F1 hybrids and cultivars. At the same time, differences in mean values of the traits under study have only been found for progeny populations (F2-F4) derived from virus-infected F1 hybrids, but not in the case of progeny of the infected cultivars. The rate of recombinants combining traits of both parents increased significantly (2.22-8.24 times) in progeny populations of hybrids infected with TMV+PVX. The above suggests that the observed effects could be the result of modification of recombination frequencies that can be manifested in heterozygous hybrids and make small contributions to variability in cases of 'homozygous' tomato genotypes (i.e. cultivars). 相似文献

Using laser scanning confocal microscopy,we have found that the in cells loaded with fluo-3/AM,highest intracellular Ca^2 in the perinuclear region is associated with the Golgi apparatus.The spatiotemporal subcellular distribution of Ca^2 in living human fibroblasts exposing to calcium-free medium in response to agonists has been investigated.PDGF,which releases Ca^2 from intracellular stores by inositol(1,4,5)-trisphosphate pathway ,produced a biphasic transient rise in intracellular calcium.The initial rise was resulted from a direct release of calcium from the golgi apparatus.Calcium could be also released from and reaccumulated into the Golgi apparatus by the stimulation of thapsigargin,an inhibitor of the Ca^2 transport ATPase of intracellular calcium store,Permeablizing the plasma membrane by 10μM digitonin resulted in the calcium release from the Golgi apparatus and depletion of the internal calcium store.These results suggest that the Golgi apparatus plays a role in Ca^2 regulation in signal transduction. 相似文献

Deficit of mitochondria-derived ATP during oxidative stress impairs mouse MII oocyte spindles 总被引:3,自引:0,他引:3
Although the role of oxidative stress in maternal aging and infertility has been suggested, the underlying mechanisms are not fully understood. The present study is designed to determine the relationship between mitochondrial function and spindle stability in metaphase II (MII) oocytes under oxidative stress. MII mouse oocytes were treated with H2O2 in the presence or absence of permeability transition pores (PTPs) blockers cyclosporin A (CsA). In addition, antioxidant N-acetylcysteine (NAC), F0/F1 synthase inhibitor oligomycin A, the mitochondria uncoupler carbonyl cyanide 4-trifluoro- methoxyphenylhydrazone (FCCP) or thapsigargin plus 2.5 mM Ca^2+ (Th+2.5 mM Ca^2+) were used in mechanistic studies. Morphologic analyses of oocyte spindles and chromosomes were performed and mitochondrial membrane potential (AWm), cytoplasmic free calcium concentration ([Ca^2+]c) and cytoplasmic ATP content within oocytes were also assayed. In a time- and H202 dose-dependent manner, disruption of meiotic spindles was found after oocytes were treated with H202, which was prevented by pre-treatment with NAC. Administration of H2O2 led to a dissipation of AWm, an increase in [Ca^2+]c and a decrease in cytoplasmic ATP levels. These detrimental responses of oocytes to H2O2 treatment could be blocked by pre-incubation with CsA. Similar to H2O2, both oligomycin A and FCCP dissipated AWm, decreased cytoplasmic ATP contents and disassembled MII oocyte spindles, while high [Ca^2+]c alone had no effects on spindle morphology. In conclusion, the decrease in mitochondria-derived ATP during oxidative stress may cause a disassembly of mouse MII oocyte spindles, presumably due to the opening of the mitochondrial PTPs. 相似文献

Impacts of Elevated CO2 Concentration on Biochemical Composition, Carbonic Anhydrase, and Nitrate Reductase Activity of Freshwater Green Algae 总被引:4,自引:0,他引:4
Jian-RongXIA Kun-ShanGAO 《植物学报(英文版)》2005,47(6):668-675
To investigate the biochemical response of freshwater green algae to elevated CO2 concentrations, Chlorella pyrenoidosa Chick and Chlamydomonas reinhardtii Dang cells were cultured at different CO2 concentrations within the range 3-186μmol/L and the biochemical composition, carbonic anhydrase (CA),and nitrate reductase activities of the cells were investigated. Chlorophylls (Chl), carotenoids, carbonhydrate,and protein contents were enhanced to varying extents with increasing CO2 concentration from 3-186μmol/L. The CO2 enrichment significantly increased the Chl a/Chl b ratio in ChloreUa pyrenoidosa, but not in Chlamydomonas reinhardtii. The CO2 concentration had significant effects on CA and nitrate reductase activity. Elevating CO2 concentration to 186μmol/L caused a decline in intracellular and extracellullar CA activity. Nitrate reductase activity, under either light or dark conditions, in C. reinhardtii and C. pyrenoidosa was also significantly decreased with CO2 enrichment. From this study, it can be concluded that CO2 enrichment can affect biochemical composition, CA, and nitrate reductase activity, and that the biochemical response was species dependent. 相似文献
