Electrophoretic and kinetic determinations of the activity of lactate dehydrogenase in murine erythroleukaemic (MEL) cells, sampled at 1min intervals, reveal distinct oscillations in the activity and amount of active isozyme. Both oscillations have periods in the range of 2–6min (probably less) and both appear to be rhythmically modulated with respect to period, amplitude and mean. The oscillations also occur in cell-free systems, a fact which throws doubt on the value of studies where it is assumed that such preparations have constant composition. 相似文献

Biosynthesis of two developmentally distinct acid phosphatase isozymes in Dictyostelium discoideum 总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1
The presence of a common antigenic determinant on the Dictyostelium discoideum acid phosphatase isozyme 1 (ap 1), and the absence of this determinant on the isozyme ap2 enables separation of the two isozymes. This separation is accomplished by removal of ap1 from samples with a common antigen monoclonal antibody followed by immunoprecipitation of ap2 with an acid phosphatase monoclonal antibody. Application of this separation scheme on cells pulse-labeled early (2 h) and late (18 h) in the developmental cycle reveal that ap1 protein synthesis occurs only early in development and that the protein remains stable throughout development, whereas ap2 protein synthesis occurs only late in development. Furthermore, pulse-chase experiments during both early and late development reveal that both isozymes of acid phosphatase are initially synthesized as precursor molecules (Mr = 60,000) which are then processed to mature forms (Mr = 58,000). The processing event(s) for acid phosphatase begin in less than 5 min compared to 25-30 min for Dictyostelium alpha-mannosidase and 10-15 min for Dictyostelium beta-glucosidase. Endoglycosidase H and Endoglycosidase F treatment of both isozymes reveals identical cleavage patterns for ap1 and ap2, indicating that the amount of carbohydrate on both molecules is equivalent. Preliminary studies to identify modification differences reveal that fucose is not present on either isozyme; however, sulfate is present on the ap1 isozyme and absent on the ap2 isozyme. These results suggest that differences in the modification of newly synthesized acid phosphatase at different times during the Dictyostelium life cycle result in the appearance of two distinct acid phosphatase isozymes. 相似文献

THE OCCURRENCE AND FUNCTIONS OF ULTRADIAN RHYTHMS 总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1
DAVID LLOYD MAURICE STUPFEL 《Biological reviews of the Cambridge Philosophical Society》1991,66(3):275-299
Ultradian oscillations with periods between 5 min and 4 h have been described in cell-free extracts, single-celled eukaryotes, cultured cells and embryos. Whereas some of these potentially oscillatory systems (e.g. glycolysis) may only exhibit this type of behaviour rarely if at all in vivo , other ultradian oscillators in lower eukaryotes are rhythms and probably have timekeeping functions. Rhythms with ultradian periods of 10 min to 20 h in oxygen consumption and carbon dioxide production have also been studied in endotherm animals: these rhythms may be modified by variations of environmental parameters and by circadian and infradian synchronizers. Interspecies and interstrain differences strongly suggest that these rhythms are endogenous and have a genetic origin. We suggest that the temporal organization of biochemical and physiological processes facilitates optimization of thermodynamic maintenance of the organism within the random fluctuations of its physicochemical environment and contributes to genetic selection. 相似文献

1. A great number of vital processes are rhythmic and the rhythms quite often persist in constant conditions. The best-known rhythms are circadian; much less is known about circalunadian rhythms, and this review was prepared in an attempt to rectify this deficiency. All through the article comparisons are drawn between circalunadian and circacian rhythms. 2. Activity rhythms. (a) The activity patterns of 28 intertidal animals are discussed. All describe a periodicity with a basic component of 24.8 hours, and this approximate period persists in the laboratory in constant light and temperature and in the absence of the tides. The duration of persistence ranges from a few cycles to months, and is a function of the species studied, the conditions imposed, and individual tenacity. (b) In those few cases where relatively long-term observations have been made, there is a trend for the period of the rhythm to become circatidal, or better, circalunadian. (c) The ‘desired’ phase relationship between rhythm and tidal cycle is species-specific. Geographical translocation experiments have shown that the phase is set by the local tides. (d) In some cases the amplitude of the persistent rhythm mimics the semidiurnal inequality of the tides. (e) In about a third of the species discussed, a circadian component has been found combined with the tidal component. Many of the other studies were of such short duration that a low-amplitude circadian component would have gone unnoticed. (f) The tidal rhythm is innate. However, the rhythm is (i) sometimes lacking in organisms living in non-tidal habitats, or (ii) fades after a spell of incarceration in constant conditions. Various treatments — some aperiodic — can induce the expression of the missing tidal rhythm. (g) In the green crab, removal of the eyestalks destroys the activity rhythm. 3. Vertical migration rhythms. (a) A rather surprisingly large number of intertidal animals have been found to undergo migration rhythms between the upper layers of the substratum and its surface. The movements are synchronized with the tides in nature, but most species have either been shown to be diurnal in constant conditions, or in cases where adequate testing has not been done, suspected of being so. (b) In only one species has confirming work shown that the fundamental frequency is truly tidal. This finding is especially important as it shows that tidal rhythms need only the single-cell level of organization for expression. Even at this level there appears to be a dictatorial override by a circadian clock. 4. Colour change. Low-amplitude tidal rhythms in colour change — superimposed on a more dominant circadian change — have been reported to be intrinsic in four species and inducible in a fifth. 5. Oxygen consumption. Tidal rhythms in oxygen consumption have been described for seven invertebrates and one alga; six of the species have superimposed solar-day rhythmic components also. 6. Translocation. A total of five geographical translocation experiments, in which the organisms were maintained in constant conditions throughout, have been tried. Unequivocally in one case, and possibly in a second, the test organisms rephased spontaneously to the times commensurate with local tidal conditions. In two other cases, the pretranslocation phase was retained. The fifth experiment has not been reproducible. 7. Determination of phase. (a) The tidal cycle on the home shoreline sets the phase of the inhabitant's rhythms. Even the location of a crab's burrow on the beach incline can play a determining role. (b) Paradoxically, the periodic wetting by inundation is not an important entraining factor for most intertidal organisms. Instead, the effective portions of the tidal cycle include one or more of the following. (i) Mechanical agitation, especially for animals living in an uprush zone where they are periodically subjected to the pounding surf, (ii) Temperature cycles, though they have not yet been systematically investigated, have very pronounced entraining roles in crabs. (iii) Pressure is probably not a generally important entraining agent for most intertidal organisms, but it is so for the green crab. (c) Light-dark cycles in general, whether daily or tidal in length, have no effect on the entrainment or phase setting of many tidal rhythms. There are two exceptions: (i) a 24-hour light-dark cycle is known to keep a tidal locomotor rhythm (one that becomes circalunadian in constant conditions) at a strict tidal frequency. (ii) In rhythms with both daily and tidal components, when the former is shifted by light stimuli, the latter is affected in a nearly identical manner. 8. Temperature. (a) The role of temperature on tidal rhythms is compared with its role on circadian rhythms. (b) The effects of different constant temperatures have so far been studied on only four tidal rhythms. All studies indicate a lack of any permanent change in period, which is not so with most circadian rhythms; the latter having temperature coefficients around 1.1. In two of the studies the rhythms under test temperatures were followed for less than a day, and a third study cannot be repeated. (c) Short exposure to very cold temperature pulses produced a response that may be interpreted as a temporary stoppage of the clock. Exposure to relatively less-cold pulses appear simply to reset the hands of the clock. The same responses have been demonstrated with circadian rhythms. (d) In the case of green crabs, which had become arrhythmic during prolongued captivity in the laboratory, a tidal rhythm could be reinitiated by a single short cold treatment. The cold pulse also set the phase of the rhythm. (e) A few superficial studies employing temperature steps or pulses have produced results which suggest that a phase-change sensitivity rhythm — just like that found associated with circadian rhythms — may underlie tidal rhythms. Certainly a determined search for this rhythm should be made in the near future. 9. Clock control of rhythms. (a) An argument is constructed claiming that tidal rhythms have a basic period of about 24–8 hours rather than the more expected tidal interval of 12.4 hours. In constant conditions, a circalunadian period is usually displayed. (b) After speculating that a frequency-transforming coupler may function between the clock and the overt rhythm, reasons are given that lead to the further speculation that both circadian and circalunadian rhythms could be generated by a single clock, via specific coupling mechanisms. (c) Two current hypotheses concerning the nature of the clockworks are reviewed and discussed. (d) Suggestions are made for future investigations. 相似文献

This article evaluates the influence of gender on diurnal and postlunch period variations in subjective activation and mood. This topic is not often addressed in the literature; particularly, little attention has been paid to how biological rhythms might bias research results. We studied 40 university student volunteers (20 men, 20 women) aged 18 to 23 years old (X = 20.23, SD = 1.03); they responded to questions on eight unipolar visual analog scales every hour from 08:00 to 21:00. Gender differences were observed in both diurnal and postlunch variations for scales of positive activation (alertness, vigor); sleepiness, however, was only sensitive to diurnal variation, and weariness was sensitive only to a postlunch effect. Women displayed a morning- type pattern, with their optimal moment (11:00) coming 2h earlier than for men, and their activation ratings ranged more widely. The only mood scale that showed differences related to gender was that of happiness, for which women had a higher diurnal mean, a diurnal peak 2h earlier, and a less-intense postlunch effect. Endogenous control of rhythmic pattern appears to be less intense in women, probably due to the coexistence of circamensual rhythmicity, although environmental or sociocultural influences may play a modulating role. Chronopsychological gender differences in affective states should be studied further given the implication they have for the prevention and treatment of mood disorders.

Temporal changes in the expression of p53 were investigated during hexamethylene bisacetamide (HMBA)-induced differentiation
of murine erythroleukaemic (MEL) cells. Cell preparations were analysed by SDS-PAGE and western immunoblotting, which detected
an immunospecific band of molecular mass 53 kDa. This analysis provided semi-quantitative information. Cell extracts were
analysed further by means of ELISA techniques, using a p53-pecific antibody, to provide quantitative data. In time series
experiments in which cells were isolated at 15, 30 and 60 min intervals, dynamic variations in the expression of the p53 protein
were detected in both the untreated and the HMBA-treated MEL cells. In all cases, the effects were complex with variations
in amplitude, frequency and phasing of the rhythms. The available evidence suggests that the observed patterns, like periodic
variations in other systems, are modified in rhythmic fashion with respect to period and amplitude. The results add further
support for our view that it is essential to consider the dynamics when interpreting the role of p53 and cellular processes
in general. 相似文献

Temporal precision in the mammalian circadian system: a reliable clock from less reliable neurons 总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1
The mammalian SCN contains a biological clock that drives remarkably precise circadian rhythms in vivo and in vitro. This study asks whether the cycle-to-cycle variability of behavioral rhythms in mice can be attributed to precision of individual circadian pacemakers within the SCN or their interactions. The authors measured the standard deviation of the cycle-to-cycle period from 7-day recordings of running wheel activity, Period1 gene expression in cultured SCN explants, and firing rate patterns of dispersed SCN neurons. Period variability of the intact tissue and animal was lower than single neurons. The median variability of running wheel and Period1 rhythms was less than 40 min per cycle compared to 2.1 h in firing rate rhythms of dispersed SCN neurons. The most precise SCN neuron, with a period deviation of 1.1 h, was 10 times noisier than the most accurate SCN explant (0.1 h) or mouse (0.1 h) but comparable to the least stable explant (2.1 h) and mouse (1.1 h). This variability correlated with intrinsic period in mice and SCN explants but not with single cells. Precision was unrelated to the amplitude of rhythms and did not change significantly with age up to 1 year after birth. Analysis of the serial correlation of cycle-to-cycle period revealed that approximately half of this variability is attributable to noise outside the pacemaker. These results indicate that cell-cell interactions within the SCN reduce pacemaker noise to determine the precision of circadian rhythms in the tissue and in behavior. 相似文献

Circadian and/or circahemidian rhythms in nine lymphocyte-related variables from peripheral blood of healthy subjects 总被引:5,自引:0,他引:5
F A Levi C Canon J P Blum M Mechkouri A Reinberg G Mathe 《Journal of immunology (Baltimore, Md. : 1950)》1985,134(1):217-222
Circadian variations were investigated for nine lymphocyte-related variables in the peripheral blood of healthy subjects. Monoclonal antibodies targeted at membrane immunoglobulins (anti-Ig, anti-kappa, anti-lambda) or differentiation antigens (anti-IA and OKT3) were used to characterize respectively mature B cells (SIg+, kappa +, lambda +), cells expressing HLA-DR antigen (IA+), and T cells (OKT3+). Blood (33 ml) was drawn every 4 hr for 24 hr starting at 8.30 hr, on seven occasions in five apparently healthy male volunteers, recumbent from 23.00 hr to 07.00 hr. Leukocyte and differential counts were measured. Mononuclear cells were isolated on Ficoll-Hypaque before being incubated with monoclonal antibodies. The proportion of fluorescent cells per 100 microscopically determined cells was multiplied by the number of circulating lymphocytes per milliliter of venous blood. Temporal variations were validated by both paired t-test and cosinor. Rhythms with a period (tau) identical to 24 hr were validated with statistical significance (p less than 0.05) for total lymphocytes, OKT3+ cells and OKT3+:SIg+ ratio, and suggested (0.05 less than or equal to p less than or equal to 0.10) for lambda + and (kappa + + lambda +) cells. Rhythms with tau identical to 12 hr were also found (p less than 0.05) for OKT3+, SIg+, kappa +, and IA+ cells as well as for the OKT3+:SIg+ and the kappa +:lambda + ratios. Validated rhythms exhibited a large amplitude, e.g., peak-through differences were 40% of the 24-hr mean. This circadian and circahemidian temporal structure of immunologic variables constitutes a time-qualified reference system for investigating immune regulations and a tool for optimizing both diagnostic criteria and effectiveness of immunotherapeutic attempts. 相似文献

It has been suggested that two endogenous timekeeping systems, a light-entrainable pacemaker (LEP) and a food-entrainable pacemaker (FEP), control circadian rhythms. To understand the function and interaction between these two mechanisms better, we studied two behavioral circadian rhythmicities, feeding and locomotor activity, in rats exposed to two conflicting zeitgebers, food restriction and light-dark cycles. For this, the food approaches and wheel-running activity of rats kept under light-dark (LD) 12:12, constant darkness (DD), or constant light (LL) conditions and subjected to different scheduled feeding patterns were continuously recorded. To facilitate comparison of the results obtained under the different lighting conditions, the period of the feeding cycles was set in all three cases about Ih less than the light-entrained or free-running circadian rhythms. The results showed that, depending on the lighting conditions, some components of the feeding and wheel-running circadian rhythms could be entrained by food pulses, while others retained their free-running or light-entrained state. Under LD, food pulses had little influence on the light-entrained feeding and loco-motor rhythms. Under DD, relative coordination between free-running and food-associated rhythms may appear. In both cases, the feeding activity associated with the food pulses could be divided into a prominent phase-dependent peak of activity within the period of food availability and another afterward. Wheel-running activity mainly followed the food pulses. Under LL conditions, the food-entrained activity consisted mainly of feeding and wheel-running anticipatory activity. The results provide new evidence that lighting conditions influence the establishment and persistence of food-entrained circadian rhythms in rats. The existence of two coupled pacemakers, LEP and FEP, or a multioscillatory LEP may both explain our experimental results. 相似文献

Few studies in non-mammalian vertebrates have examined how various effectors of the circadian system interact. To determine if the daily locomotor and behavioural thermoregulatory rhythms of Tiliqua rugosa are both controlled by the circadian system in different seasons, lizards were tested in laboratory thermal gradients in four seasons and in constant darkness. Circadian rhythmicity for both rhythms was present in each season, being most pronounced in spring and summer and least evident in autumn. Most lizards displayed a unimodal locomotor activity pattern across all seasons. However, some individuals presented a bimodal locomotor activity pattern in spring and summer. Seasonal variations in the phase relationships of both rhythms to the light:dark (LD) cycle were demonstrated. No seasonal differences in the free-running period lengths of either rhythm were detected, raising the possibility that a single circadian pacemaker drives both rhythms in this species. Our present results demonstrate that both rhythms are similarly controlled by the circadian system in each season. Although seasonal variations in the thermal preferences of reptiles both in the field and laboratory have previously been well documented, this study is the first to demonstrate circadian rhythms of temperature selection in a reptile species in each season. 相似文献

Ribosomal DNA variations were surveyed to assess the genetic variability among Hevea brasiliensis genetic resources. One hundred and sixty-eight individuals, including 73 cultivated Wickham clones and 95 wild clones from a prospection, were analyzed. Restriction mapping of rDNA units showed that RFLP variations are the result of both length and site (EcoRI) variations in the intergenic spacer (IGS). These variations can be revealed between as well as within individuals. A total of 12 spacer length variants is scored in the whole population, as well as two different ribosomal units (refered as type I and type II), defined by the presence or absence of an EcoRI site. Particular associations between spacer length variants and unit types can be revealed, leading to complex RFLP patterns. Cultivated clones appear to be less variable than prospections but show, however, a relatively high level of variability despite their narrow genetic base. Furthermore, IGS variations allowed a structuring within wild clones to be drawn, based mainly on their geographical origin. Some interesting discrepancies with previous work on isozyme variations are discussed and show the interest of surveying different genetic markers for diversity studies. 相似文献

Circadian control of eclosion: interaction between a central and peripheral clock in Drosophila melanogaster 总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1
Drosophila melanogaster display overt circadian rhythms in rest:activity behavior and eclosion. These rhythms have an endogenous period of approximately 24 hr and can adjust or "entrain" to environmental inputs such as light. Circadian rhythms depend upon a functioning molecular clock that includes the core clock genes period and timeless (reviewed in and ). Although we know that a clock in the lateral neurons (LNs) of the brain controls rest:activity rhythms, the cellular basis of eclosion rhythms is less well understood. We show that the LN clock is insufficient to drive eclosion rhythms. We establish that the prothoracic gland (PG), a tissue required for fly development, contains a functional clock at the time of eclosion. This clock is required for normal eclosion rhythms. However, both the PG clock function and eclosion rhythms require the presence of LNs. In addition, we demonstrate that pigment-dispersing factor (PDF), a neuropeptide secreted from LNs, is necessary for the PG clock and eclosion rhythms. Unlike other clocks in the fly periphery, the PG is similar to mammalian peripheral oscillators because it depends upon input, including PDF, from central pacemaker cells. This is the first report of a peripheral clock necessary for a circadian event. 相似文献

Agitation is a common problem in institutionalized patientswith Alzheimer's disease (AD). “Sundowning,” or agitationthat occurs primarily in the evening, is estimated to occur in 10—25%of nursing home patients. The current study examined circadian patterns ofagitation in 85 patients with AD living in nursing homes in the San Diego,California, area. Agitation was assessed using behavioral ratings collectedevery 15 minutes over 3 days, and activity and light exposure data were collectedcontinuously using Actillume recorders. A five-parameter extension of thetraditional cosine function was used to describe the circadian rhythms. Themean acrophase for agitation was 14:38, although there was considerable variabilityin the agitation rhythms displayed by the patients. Agitation rhythms weremore robust than activity rhythms. Surprisingly, only 2 patients (2.4%) were“sundowners.”In general, patients were exposed to very low levelsof illumination, with higher illumination during the night being associatedwith less robust agitation rhythms with higher rhythm minima (i.e., some agitationpresent throughout the day and night). Seasonality was examined; however,there were no consistent seasonal patterns found. This is the largest studyto date to examine agitation rhythms using behavioral observations over multiple24h periods. The results suggest that, although sundowning is uncommon, agitationappears to have a strong circadian component in most patients that is relatedto light exposure, sleep, and medication use. Further research into the understandingof agitation rhythms is needed to examine the potential effects of interventionstargeting sleep and circadian rhythms.

Activity of total lactate dehydrogenase (LDH) and of the isozyme X (LDH X or C4) have been determined at 2 hr intervals during 24 hr cycles in testis of adult rats maintained since birth in a photoperiod of 14 hr light: 10 hr dark. LDH X activity of epididymal sections (caput, corpus and cauda) from the same animals was also determined. Total LDH and LDH X activities in testis exhibited circadian rhythms with different timing. LDH X in the three portions of epididymis showed diurnal variations similar to those in testis. Rats subjected to constant light or constant dark presented marked modifications of LDH X profiles, indicating that the photoperiod plays a synchronizer role. While total soluble proteins did not show variations in testis of rats exposed to the photoperiod, a circadian rhythm was demonstrated in animals maintained in constant light or dark. 相似文献

CIRCADIAN RHYTHMS OF PRESUMPTIVE STEM CELLS IN THREE DIFFERENT EPITHELIA OF THE MOUSE 总被引:3,自引:0,他引:3

Variation in the percentage of labelled cells (LI), mitoses (MI) and apoptosis (AI: i.e. shrinkage necrosis) have been studied throughout a 24 hr period (40 min after labelling with 3H-TdR) for tongue epithelium, epidermis and intestinal epithelium in the mouse. A room with reversed light cycle was used to obtain data for half of the 24 hr period. All three tissues showed marked variations in LI with peak values between 24.00 and 03.00 hours. In the intestine a maximum value for MI was observed 3-6 hr after that for LI and with a maximum value for AI slightly later. In all three epithelia the circadian rhythm was most striking in cells at positions which can be correlated with presumptive stem cell activity; e.g. in the crypts the labelling and mitotic peaks reflecting a circadian rhythm were most clearly distinguishable at the basal part of the crypts. These observations are discussed in relation to the validity of various proliferative models. 相似文献

Food is not continuously available in the wild, and so most animals show a wide variety of circadian rhythms that can be entrained to feeding time. The aim of this research was to evaluate the effect of time-restricted feeding on the daily rhythms of gilthead sea bream, with food being provided during the day or night under a 12:12?h light-dark (LD) cycle or constant light (LL) conditions. Self-feeding and locomotor activity, as well as daily rhythms of cortisol, glucose, and melatonin, were evaluated. Fish synchronized their feeding behavior to the feeding phase, so that in LD they displayed 78% nocturnal feeding activity under night-feeding and 81% diurnal feeding activity under day-feeding, while under LL-feeding they displayed 72% of their daily activity during the 12?h feeding phase. In contrast, locomotor activity was mostly diurnal (66–71%), regardless of the feeding schedule, and it became arrhythmic under LL. Cortisol showed daily rhythms that peaked at different times, depending on the light and feeding schedule: one peak several hours before feeding under day-feeding and night-feeding, and two peaks under LL-feeding. Glucose displayed low-amplitude variations, with no daily rhythms being detected. Melatonin, however, showed a nocturnal rhythm, regardless of the feeding schedule, while the rhythm became attenuated under LL. Taken together, these results highlight the role of feeding on endocrine and metabolic rhythms, suggesting that feeding behavior should be considered when studying these variables.
