刺激猫下丘脑LHA和VMN对小脑皮层神经元电活动的影响

在戊巴比妥钠麻醉的猫,电刺激下丘脑外侧区(LHA)和腹内侧核(VMN)可引起小脑皮层第Ⅵ和Ⅶ小叶浦肯野细胞和非浦肯野细胞抑制性、兴奋性和抑制-兴奋性的电活动,但以抑制性活动为主;这些反应的潜伏期多数为10-20ms,但也可长达90ms;一般刺激LHA比刺激VMN更有效。刺激下丘脑所激发的小脑神经元抑制性电活动可为静脉注射组胺H_1受体阻断剂扑尔敏所阻断。本文对上述观察的可能作用作了讨论。

Clinico-biochemical use of serum acetylcholine esterase following treatment with synthetic pyrethroids, cypermethrin and fenvalerate, in cattle and buffalo experimentally infested with Boophilus microplus

Following treatment, cypermethrin and fenvalerate, were found to have inhibitory effect on serum acetylcholine esterase (AchE) activity of cattle and buffalo experimentally infested with B. microplus. The pattern of AchE activity in infested-pyrethroid-treated group was found to be significantly different from either healthy or tick-infested control. There was transient increase in the enzyme activity initially, followed by gradual decline and subsequent increase leading to normal level within 7 days of pyrethroid treatment. The enzyme activity was found to be low in buffalo than in cattle and the values remained below normal level up to day 7 in tick-infested group. The reversion of AchE activity to normal level in pyrethroid-treated group indicated that these compounds are prompt and safe ixodicides with least residual effect. The present investigation concludes that estimation of serum AchE might help in the clinico-biochemical diagnosis of tick toxin and pyrethroid toxicity in cattle and buffalo treated with these pyrethroids against tick infestation.     

Involvement of Putrescine in the Development of Kindled Seizure in Rats

During the development of kindling by daily electrical stimulations applied to the left amygdala of rats, concentrations of the polyamines putrescine, spermidine, and spermine were measured in the left amygdala and the remainder of the cerebrum. A significant increase of putrescine concentration appeared first at the left amygdala in prekindled rats and then propagated to the remainder of the cerebrum with the development of kindling. This increase in putrescine concentration in the left amygdala was higher in prekindled rats than in fully kindled rats and lasted for at least 24 h after the final kindling stimulation. The concentrations of spermidine and spermine were slightly increased in a fully kindled state. To clarify the role of putrescine in kindling, the development of amygdaloid kindling was examined in rats after microinjections of alpha-difluoromethylornithine, a specific inhibitor of polyamine synthesis, and putrescine into the ipsilateral amygdala. Pretreatment with alpha-difluoromethylornithine (50 nmol) for 10 days accelerated both the development of behavioral kindling and the propagation of the afterdischarge from the left amygdala to the frontal cortex. In contrast, pretreatment with putrescine (200 nmol) for 10 days retarded the development of kindling. These results suggest that the increase in putrescine concentration in the kindled brain has an inhibitory effect on the development of kindling.

Quantitation of megakaryocytopoiesis in liquid culture by enzymatic determination of acetylcholinesterase

A method has been developed to quantitate megakaryocytopoiesis in culture by measuring acetylcholinesterase synthesized in vitro. Murine marrow cells, treated with diisopropylfluorosphosphate (DFP) to inactivate initial acetylcholinesterase (AchE) present in megakaryocytes and contaminating blood, were set up in Iscove's medium supplemented with 15% DFP-treated horse serum +/- pokeweed mitogen-stimulated spleen cell conditioned medium (PWM-SCM) in 96-well microplates. Following the culture period, Triton X-100, dithiobisnitrobenzoic acid (DTNB), and acetylthiocholine iodide were added to each well. AchE synthesized in culture cleaved acetylthiocholine to thiocholine, which stochiometrically reduced the colorless indicator DTNB to a highly colored product. Thirty minutes following the addition of substrate, the plates were assayed for activity with a vertical recording photometer. When platelets, freshly prepared bone marrow cells, or cultured marrow were assayed by this method, a linear relationship was observed between optical density (OD) and the number of cells assayed. Moreover, a linear relationship between the number of AchE-positive megakaryocytes determined histochemically and AchE activity determined spectrophotometrically was observed. Red cells exhibited no activity. Inhibitor studies demonstrated that the activity measured was true AchE. Separation of marrow by density gradient centrifugation showed that the megakaryocyte enriched fraction contained all the AchE while the megakaryocyte depleted fraction contained none. From the data we conclude that this rapid, semiautomated method quantitates megakaryocytic AchE synthesis in culture, and that this method will be a useful assay system for the detection of factors that influence megakaryocytopoiesis.     

Inhibition of spicule elongation in sea urchin embryos by the acetylcholinesterase inhibitor eserine

The activity of acetylcholinesterase (AchE) increases rapidly after the gastrula stage of sea urchin development. In this report, changes in activity and in the molecular differentiation of AchE were investigated. AchE activity increased slightly during gastrulation and rose sharply thereafter, and was dependent on new RNA synthesis. No activity of butyrylcholinesterase was found. Morphogenesis in sea urchin embryos was inhibited by the AchE inhibitor eserine, which specifically inhibited arm rod formation but not body rod formation. Spicule formation and enzyme activity in cultured micromeres were inhibited by eserine in a dose-dependent manner. During gastrulation, two molecular forms of AchE were detected with polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis. The appearance of an additional band on the gel was consistent with the occurrence of a remarkable increase in the enzyme activity. This additional band appeared as a larger molecular form in Anthocidaris crassispina, Hemicentrotus pulcherrimus, Stomopneustes variolaris, and Strongylocentrotus nudus, and as a smaller form in Clypeaster japonicus and Temnopleurus hardwicki. These results suggest that the change in the molecular form of AchE induced a change in enzymatic activity that in turn may play a role in spicule elongation in sea urchin embryos.     

Purification of Acetylcholinesterase from Sea Urchin (Hemicentrotus pulcherrimus) Embryos by Affinity Chromatography

Only one form of acetylcholinesterase (AchE) was detected in Hemicentrotus pulcherrimus embryos. In H. pulcherrimus embryos as well as in the other sea urchin embryos, AchE activity begins to increase rapidly after gastrula stage.
Purification of AchE from plutei has been carried out by the procedure including affinity chromatography. Purified AchE had the activity 14,600 times higher than that of homogenate, and the final yield of AchE was 8%. The enzyme seems to be electrophoretically homogeneous, and has a molecular weight of 3 × 10⁵ as determined by Sepharose CL–6B column chromatography.     

The Role of Erythrocytic Acetylcholinesterase in Hormonal Regulation of Adaptation to Physical Exercise

Acetylcholinesterase (AchE) activity in erythrocytes and blood levels of cortisol and insulin were investigated in athletes training under different bioenergetic conditions (sprinters, middle-distance runners, and marathoners). The groups of sprinters and marathoners had a decreased enzyme activity compared to nonathletes (p < 0.05). In response to a standard exercise, load AchE activity increased in the groups of middle-distance runners and marathoners. A relationship was observed between the level of AchE activity and the cortisol-to-insulin ratio in the blood. This ratio is specific to the type of bioenergetic conditions and increases in the following order: controls, middle-distance runners, sprinters, and marathoners. In vitro experiments revealed an effect of insulin on AchE activity. This effect was significantly lower in sprinters than in the control group. A reduction in AchE activity and an increase in the cortisol-to-insulin ratio are considered as factors increasing metabolic turnover in athletes, mainly, lipid turnover. This mechanism ensures effective mobilization of substrates at the start of physical exercise and their recovery after. The observed relationship between the insulin level and the AchE activity may prove to be a mechanism of regulation of the insulin level. This relationship may change during adaptation to physical exercise, as in the case of sprinters, when the sensitivity of AchE to the inhibitory effect of insulin is decreased. A high blood level of cortisol and insulin is a distinctive feature of sprinters, which provides for a higher turnover of carbohydrates. In marathoners, low AchE activity leads to an increased effect of acetylcholine, which is manifested by an increased cortisol level and a decreased insulin level, thus providing for a higher lipid turnover.

Rupture de la diapause ovarienne d'Anacridium aegyptium par stimulation électrique des cellules neurosécrétrices médianes de la pars intercerebralis

Oögenesis and the physiological activity of the corpora allata were studied in adult females of the Egyptian locust (Anacridium aegyptium), in ovarian diapause, after electrical stimulation in vivo of the pars intercerebralis. This stimulation provokes (1) a decrease in the quantity of fuchsinophilic material present in the median neurosecretory cell bodies and in the internal cardiac tract, (2) an increase in the physiological activity of the corpora allata (measured by its chromatropic effect on larvae of Locusta), and (3) rupture of the ovarian diapause (advance of maturation of the oöcytes and oviposition by 5 months, and initiation of the ovarian cycle).In the control animals, the same electrical stimulations of various regions of the central nervous system (tritocerebrum, first ganglion of the abdominal cord) have no effect on these phenomena.In allatectomized females, electrical stimulations of the pars intercerebralis are followed by a slight growth of oöcytes, without a deposit of yellow vitellus. The diapause is not broken. Section of the allatocardiac nerves or rupture of the allatocardiac and allato-suboesophageal nervous connexions do not change the physiological state of the corpora allata. In the case of females in which the corpora allata have been disconnected, electrical stimulations of the pars intercerebralis succeed in activating the corpora allata and breaking the ovarian diapause. The aggregate of these results confirms that in locusts the control of the brain over the physiological activity of the corpora allata is above all neuroendocrine.
