The effect of ferulic acid was studied on γ-radiation-induced relaxation of plasmid pBR322 DNA and induction of DNA strand
breaks in peripheral blood leukocytes and bone marrow cells of mice exposed to whole body γ-radiation. Presence of 0.5 mM
ferulic acid significantly inhibited the disappearance of supercoiled (ccc) plasmid pBR322 with a dose modifying factor (DMF)
of 2.0. Intraperitoneal administration of different amounts (50, 75 and 100 mg/kg body weight) of ferulic acid 1 h prior to
4 Gy γ-radiation exposure showed dose-dependent decrease in the yield of DNA strands breaks in murine peripheral blood leukocytes
and bone marrow cells as evidenced from comet assay. The dose-dependent protection was more pronounced in bone marrow cells
than in the blood leukocytes. It was observed that there was a time-dependent disappearance of radiation induced strand breaks
in blood leukocytes (as evidenced from comet parameters) following whole body radiation exposure commensuration with DNA repair.
Administration of 50 mg/kg body weight of ferulic acid after whole body irradiation of mice resulted disappearance of DNA
strand breaks at a faster rate compared to irradiated controls, suggesting enhanced DNA repair in ferulic acid treated animals.

Changes of Macaca nemestrina and Rhesus blood DNA have been studied up to 5 days after the total uniform gamma-irradiation in doses 6.2 and 6.5 Gy. The content of nucleotide ATrich DNA has been evaluated in the fractions of leucocytes with the various surface adherence properties. The dynamics of the content nucleotide AT-DNA and blood leucocytes were similar at the both monkey species. The evaluation of structural state DNA in the blood nucleotide with the fluorescent dyes (ethidium bromide and 4; 6-diamidine-2-phenylindole) demonstrated that the important changes in the polynucleotide structure occurred from 6 to 24 h after irradiation and maintained up to 5 days. Adhesive capacity changes were reversible but they preceded the DNA structural changes. At 24 h postirradiation non-adhesive cells with relative higher AT-DNA content were found. 相似文献

The article describes the effect of alkaloid-free fraction of the Galega officinalis extract (AFFGE) on the aggregation ability of immunocompetent blood cells, as well as on the process of actin polymerization and structural rearrangements among sialylated glycoconjugates of the peripheral blood leukocyte membranes of rats in the norm and under experimental diabetes mellitus (EDM) conditions. The flow cytometry method (using phalloidin labelled with fluorescent tetramethyl rhodamine-5-isothiocyanate (TRITC)) and the western blot analysis have allowed us to detect an increase in the rat leukocyte F-actin content in the event of diabetes mellitus, which indicated changes in the structural and functional properties of the leukocytes and their preactivation phase. A quantitative analysis of the total polymerized actin pool redistribution between its constituent fraction (represented by cytoskeletal filaments) and short actin filaments has shown that, against an increase in the total F-actin level, the number of actin filaments of the cytoskeleton decreased and the content of short actin filaments increased in leukocytes of animals with EDM. The use of sialylated lectins has allowed a conclusion to be made on the study of the pathology that the number of exposed oligosaccharide determinants on leukocyte membrane, the structure of which contained N-acetyl-β-D-glucosamine and sialic acid residues, increased, whereas the number of sialic acid-containing surface glycoconjugates bound to subterminal galactose residues by α2→3 and α2→6-glycoside bonds decreased. The administration of AFFGE to diabetic animals led to an increase in the content of F-actin and short filaments of the leukocyte cytoskeleton and a reduction in the lectin-induced leukocyte aggregation. The correction effect of the studied extract on the functional state of leukocytes can be realized through the action on the processes underlying the formation of the actin cytoskeletal elements and due to the quantitative redistribution of leukocyte membrane glycoconjugates with different structures of carbohydrate determinants, such as, due to a decrease in the exposure of N-acetyl-β-D-glucosamine residues and an increase in the exposure of sialic acids bound to subterminal galactose residues by α2→3 and α2→6-glycoside bonds. 相似文献

We studied dynamics of leukocyte composition and corticosterone content in the peripheral blood of male Norway rats after long-term selection for tame or aggressive behavior immediately after 20 min restrain as well as 2 and 4 h later. The stressor changed corticosterone concentration and the proportion of various types of leukocytes in the both experimental groups. Quantitatively, the changes were more pronounced in the group of aggressive animals. 相似文献

Intestinal motor disorders associated with cyclical bacterial overgrowth in a rat model of enteritis
Porras M Martín MT Soler M Vergara P 《American journal of physiology. Gastrointestinal and liver physiology》2004,287(1):G58-G64
The aims of this study were: 1) to obtain an experimental model reproducing the characteristics of chronicity and spontaneous relapses found in inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) and 2) to correlate these changes with intestinal motility and bacteria translocation. For this purpose, two groups of Sprague-Dawley rats were used: a treated group that received two subcutaneous injections of indomethacin (7.5 mg/kg) 48 h apart and a control group that received saline. Blood leukocytes, TNF, and fecal parameters were monitored for 90 days after treatment. In treated rats, a cyclic oscillation of blood leukocytes and TNF concomitant with an inverse correlation of fecal output was observed. Treated rats were then selected either during their highest or lowest blood leukocyte values for motor activity and microbiological evaluation. Controls were obtained in age-matched rats. Rats with high leukocyte levels showed a decrease of motor activity. In contrast, animals with low leukocyte levels presented hypermotility. Bacterial overgrowth accompanied by bacterial translocation was found in the group with high leukocytes, whereas no differences were observed between the control and indomethacin groups during the lowest leukocyte phase. We obtained a model of IBD characterized by a chronic cyclic oscillation of intestinal motility, flora, and inflammatory blood parameters. During the high-leukocyte stage, motor activity decrease is related to bacterial translocation. This phase is followed by a reactive one characterized by hypermotility associated with a decrease in both bacterial growth and leukocytes. However, as in IBD, this reaction seems unable to prevent a return to relapse. 相似文献

Optic properties of rat blood were studied 24 h following gamma- or gamma-neutron-irradiation with different doses. A comparative analysis of the changes observed was performed in relation to life span of animals. It is concluded that remote effects of radiation can be prognosticated by changes in light scattering of the peripheral blood lymphocytes 24 h following irradiation. 相似文献

The early manifestations of radiation injury in salivary glands were investigated in the rat. The animals received a single X-ray dose in the range of 200-2000 rad to their neck area. Glandular changes during the first 24 hours were studied by light and electron microscopy and by measuring serum amylase activity. The amount of cell necrosis was quantitated and expressed as necrosis index (NI), Parotid NI and serum amylase activity 24 hours following irradiation were directly proportional to the X-ray dose. The submandibular gland cells were radioresistant and so were the mucous cells of the sublingual gland. The major increase in parotid acinar cell necrosis occurred between 12 and 24 hours after irradiation. However, more than 100 per cent increase in serum amylase level was detected prior to the onset of any significant cell necrosis. As early as two hours following irradiation signs of cell membrane injury were demonstrable in the parotid by electron microscopy and consisted of intracellular oedema, sequestered degenerative cell membranes, and an accumulation of intramitochondrial particles. None of these changes was detectable in the submandibular gland. The implication of membrane injury in the lethal effects of radiation on parotid cells is discussed. 相似文献

In experiments with 2-3 week dogs it was shown that whole-body gamma-irradiation with a dose of 3 Gy causes an insignificant absolute rise in the amount of degrading chromatin of the haemopoietic organs during the first 24 h following irradiation. After 48 h, this cell death parameter is normalized. A considerably lower radiosensitivity of lymphoid cells of dogs compared to small laboratory animals is indicated by a stable DNA content per 1 g of thymus, intactness of its structure after irradiation, and the absence of an increase in thymidine content of blood of young and adult dogs under the effect of 3-3.7 Gy radiation. 相似文献

X irradiation (4.3 Gy) of rats was shown to cause different reactions of the cyclic nucleotide system in differently reactive animals which was determined by the neutrophilic response in the peripheral blood after three-hour immobilization. Changes in the cyclic nucleotide content and in the activity of adenylate cyclase were found to occur in both hyper- and hyporeactive animals 24 h after irradiation. In hyperreactive animals, however, these changes were more pronounced: a relative ability of adenylate cyclase to be activated in hyperreactive animals made 30%, and 52% in hyporeactive animals. The cAMP content in lymphocytes of the spleen of hyporeactive rats was twice as high as that in hyperreactive animals. 相似文献

Apoptotic hepatocytes have been demonstrated to represent an important signal for transmigration of leukocytes sequestered in sinusoids during endotoxemia in vivo. Beside leukocytes, platelets and their adhesion to endothelial cells and leukocytes have been implicated in inflammatory liver injury. Using in vivo multifluorescence microscopy, we examined the possibility that hepatocellular apoptosis causes both leukocytes and platelets to colocalize within the sinusoidal microvasculature of endotoxemic livers. We further addressed the issue whether cellular colocalization with apoptotic hepatocytes is cause or consequence of apoptosis. Intraperitoneal exposure of rats with LPS (5 mg/kg) induced liver injury after 6 and 16 h, as given by nutritive perfusion failure (20 +/- 2 and 21 +/- 2%), intrahepatic leukocyte (60 +/- 10 and 121 +/- 48 cells/mm(2)), and platelet (12 +/- 4 and 34 +/- 4 cells/mm(2)) accumulation as well as parenchymal cell apoptosis (4 +/- 1 and 11 +/- 2 cells/mm(2)) and caspase cleavage (4.7 +/- 2.4- and 7.0 +/- 3.0-fold increase; P < 0.05 vs. saline-exposed controls). Higher doses of LPS (10 mg/kg ip) further increased intrahepatic leukocyte and platelet accumulation but not the extent of parenchymal apoptosis. Detailed spatial analysis revealed colocalization of leukocytes (range 12-24%) but barely of platelets (<6%) with apoptotic hepatocytes in all endotoxemic groups studied. It is of interest, however, that platelets were found at increasing rates in colocalization with leukocytes at 6 and 16 h after LPS exposure (5 mg/kg LPS: 7 +/- 3 and 25 +/- 6%; 10 mg/kg LPS: 11 +/- 4 and 14 +/- 1%). Platelet-leukocyte events significantly correlated with the extent of caspase cleavage as an indicator of tissue apoptosis (P < 0.05; r = 0.82). Blockade of apoptosis by a pan-caspase inhibitor caused a significant reduction of leukocyte adherence and platelet-leukocyte colocalization on LPS exposure. On the other hand, leukocytopenic animals revealed reduced hepatocyte apoptosis, although values still exceeded those of controls, and in leuko- and thrombocytopenic animals, hepatocyte apoptosis was found reduced to control values. Taken together, LPS-associated hepatocyte apoptosis seems to be initiated by circulating blood cells that become adherent within the liver but might also contribute to further sustain the inflammatory cell-cell response. 相似文献

Irradiation of rats with doses of 0.5 to 2 Gy was shown to cause dose-dependent changes in the sensitivity of brain cell chromatin to the effect of DNAase I that were manifested by the increased level of DNA hydrolysis and a high content of the chromatin soluble fractions. The chromatin structure was only partially restored 24 h after irradiation. Changes in the chromatin structure were accompanied by the increase in the histone-specific proteinase activity. 相似文献

Male SPF Wistar rats adapted to a 12:12 h light: dark regimen were irradiated at 3-hour intervals in the course of 24 h with a dose of 14.35 Gy X-rays; 24 h after irradiation or sham irradiation and starvation for the same length of time, and also in fed intact rats, tyrosine aminotransferase and tryptophan-2-3-dioxygenase activity in the liver and the serum corticosterone level were determined. Although lethal irradiation modified the given enzyme activities, it did not abolish their circadian rhythm, evidently in association with the low sensitivity in association with the low sensitivity of the liver to ionizing radiation. In irradiated animals (compared with sham-irradiated animals), the serum corticosterone concentration fell during the light part of the day and at the beginning of the dark part. 相似文献

The purpose of this work was to study the chronic influence of the high-energy radiation field formed in the atmosphere at an altitude of 10 to 30 km on the level of DNA damage in leukocytes of peripheral blood in mice. The external radiation field (behind the concrete shield) of the U-70 accelerator (Serpukhov, Russia) was used for these studies. This radiation field simulates the components and spectral composition of the high-energy radiation field formed in the atmosphere at an altitude of 10 to 30 km. Two groups of SHK line mice were chronically irradiated with a total dose equivalent to 21.5 and 31.5 cGy. The state of the genome of nucleated blood cells was assessed by the Comet assay (alkaline version) 72 h after completion of chronic irradiation. The level of genome damage in individual peripheral blood leukocytes of irradiated animals was compared with the basal level of DNA lesions in peripheral blood leukocytes of unirradiated control mice. The damage was expressed in %TDNA (the amount of DNA found in the "comet tail" in percent of total DNA in the "comet"). It was found that in mice exposed to the radiation field of the accelerator, the mean value of DNA damage was: %TDNA = 3.88 +/- 0.35% for a dose of 21.5 cGy and % TDNA = 6.00 +/- 0.82% for a dose of 31.5 cGy. In mice irradiated at an X-ray therapeutic device with a dose of 150 cGy 24 h before the examination, %TDNA was 2.27 +/- 0.34% and this did not differ from %TDNA in unirradiated mice, 2.68 +/- 0.56%. We suggest that the increased level of DNA damage observed in mice irradiated with 31.5 cGy from the mixed radiation field at the Serpukhov accelerator points to the development of genetic instability in their leukocytes as a result of chronic exposure of animals to this particular radiation field. 相似文献

Protection against whole body gamma-irradiation (WBI) of Swiss mice orally fed with Triphala (TPL), an Ayurvedic formulation, in terms of mortality of irradiated animals as well as DNA damage at cellular level has been investigated. It was found that radiation induced mortality was reduced by 60% in mice fed with TPL (1g/kg body weight/day) orally for 7 days prior to WBI at 7.5 Gy followed by post-irradiation feeding for 7 days. An increase in xanthine oxidoreductase activity and decrease in superoxide dismutase activity was observed in the intestine of mice exposed to WBI, which, however, reverted back to those levels of sham-irradiated controls, when animals were fed with TPL for 7 days prior to irradiation. These data have suggested the prevention of oxidative damage caused by whole body radiation exposure after feeding of animals with TPL. To further understand the mechanisms involved, the magnitude of DNA damage was studied by single cell gel electrophoresis (SCGE) in blood leukocytes and splenocytes obtained from either control animals or those fed with TPL for 7 days followed by irradiation. Compared to irradiated animals without administering TPL, the mean tail length was reduced about three-fold in blood leukocytes of animals fed with TPL prior to irradiation. Although, similar protection was observed in splenocytes of TPL fed animals, the magnitude of prevention of DNA damage was significantly higher than that observed in leukocytes. It has been concluded that TPL protected whole body irradiated mice and TPL induced protection was mediated through inhibition of oxidative damage in cells and organs. TPL seems to have potential to develop into a novel herbal radio-protector for practical applications. 相似文献

Background
Pro-coagulant membrane microvesicles (MV) derived from platelets and leukocytes are shed into the circulation following receptor-mediated activation, cell-cell interaction, and apoptosis. Platelets are sentinel markers of toll-like receptor 4 (TLR4) activation. Experiments were designed to evaluate the time course and mechanism of direct interactions between platelets and leukocytes following acute activation of TLR4 by bacterial lipopolysaccharide (LPS).Methodology/Principal Findings
Blood from age-matched male and female wild type (WT) and TLR4 gene deleted (dTLR4) mice was incubated with ultra-pure E. coli LPS (500 ng/ml) for up to one hour. At designated periods, leukocyte antigen positive platelets, platelet antigen positive leukocytes and cell-derived MV were quantified by flow cytometry. Numbers of platelet- or leukocyte-derived MV did not increase within one hour following in vitro exposure of blood to LPS. However, with LPS stimulation numbers of platelets staining positive for both platelet- and leukocyte-specific antigens increased in blood derived from WT but not dTLR4 mice. This effect was blocked by inhibition of TLR4 signaling mediated by My88 and TRIF. Seven days after a single intravenous injection of LPS (500 ng/mouse or 20 ng/gm body wt) to WT mice, none of the platelets stained for leukocyte antigen. However, granulocytes, monocytes and apoptotic bodies stained positive for platelet antigens.Conclusions/Significance
Within one hour of exposure to LPS, leukocytes exchange surface antigens with platelets through TLR4 activation. In vivo, leukocyte expression of platelet antigen is retained after a single exposure to LPS following turn over of the platelet pool. Acute expression of leukocyte antigen on platelets within one hour of exposure to LPS and the sustained expression of platelet antigen on leukocytes following a single acute exposure to LPS in vivo explains, in part, associations of platelets and leukocytes in response to bacterial infection and changes in thrombotic propensity of the blood. 相似文献17.
Supercoils in human DNA. 总被引:29,自引:0,他引:29
The three-dimensional structure of a double-stranded DNA molecule may be described by distinguishing the helical turns of the DNA duplex from any superhelical turns that might be superimposed upon the duplex turns. There are characteristic changes in the hydrodynamic properties of superhelical DNA molecules when they interact with intercalating agents. The hydrodynamic properties of nuclear structures released by gently lysing human cells are changed by intercalating agents in this characteristic manner. The characteristic changes are abolished by irradiating the cells with gamma-rays but may be restored by incubating the cells at 37 degrees C after irradiation. These results are interpreted as showing that human DNA is supercoiled. A model for the structure of the chromosome is suggested. 相似文献

Adhesion molecules have been implicated in the pathogenesis of inflammatory bowel diseases. We investigated their expression and contribution to leukocyte recruitment in experimental intestinal inflammation. Ileitis was induced in Sprague-Dawley rats by two injections of indomethacin (7.5 mg/kg), given 24 h apart. Endothelial intercellular adhesion molecule-1 (ICAM-1) expression was quantified using the dual radiolabeled monoclonal antibody technique and Mac-1 (CD11b/CD18) expression on leukocytes by flow cytometry. Leukocyte infiltration was monitored by tissue myeloperoxidase (MPO) activity. The first indomethacin injection induced a time- and site-dependent increase of ICAM-1 expression in ileal mucosa and muscularis. The second injection resulted in a reduction of ICAM-1 expression below constitutive levels whereas Mac-1 was upregulated. MPO changes paralleled lesion development over 48 h. ICAM-1 and MPO values were correlated for the first 24 h. Immunoneutralization of either ICAM-1 or Mac-1 attenuated mucosal injury. We conclude that (i) indomethacin-induced ileitis is associated with a temporally disassociated upregulation of ICAM-1 and (ii) despite a reduction in ICAM-1 after 24 h, ICAM-1, in concert with Mac-1, contributes to mucosal injury and leukocyte infiltration elicited by indomethacin. 相似文献

Changes in leukocyte counts and in the gut microflora of laboratory rats irradiated with a single whole-body dose of γ rays
(5.0 Gy) were determined. The number of leukocytes was lower especially 1 and 2 weeks after irradiation. A significant decrease
in lymphocytes was observed 1 week and in monocytes 1 and 2 weeks after irradiation. In parallel with these changes, an increase
in common microflora was observed; some microorganisms, which normally are not present in duodenum, liver and mouth cavity,
were detected in these organs. 相似文献

The repercussion on the immune response of the expression of intraspecific aggressiveness in the face of a stressor agent was investigated in rats. Ninety-day-old animals were divided into three groups: the control group (only immunological measurements were performed), the foot-shock (FS) (animals individually receiving FS), and the intraspecific aggressive response (IAR) group (animals receiving FS and presenting IAR). For immunological measurements, blood samples were collected promptly at 7 and 15 days after FS or IAR. The FS reduced the total leukocyte amount presented. However, aggressiveness triggered not only reduction of the leukocytes, but also lymphocyte decrease and neutrophil increase. Moreover, an elevation in total leukocytes associated with an increase in the humoral immune response was also observed one week after IAR. In this study, the expression of intraspecific aggressiveness in the face of a stressor seemed to activate the immune system and to potentiate the antigen specific humoral response. 相似文献
