Ca^2＋预处理对热胁迫下辣椒叶肉细胞中Ca^2＋—ATP酶活性的影响

在常温下生长的辣椒（Capsicum annuum L.）叶肉细胞中Ca^2 －ATP酶主要分布于质膜、液泡膜上,叶绿体的基质和基粒片层上也有少量分布;在40℃下热胁迫不同的时间,酶活性逐渐下降,直到叶绿体超微结构解体。同样条件下,经过Ca^2 预处理后,分布在上述细胞器膜或片层上的酶活性大大提高,表明Ca^2 预处理对该活性具有激活作用;Ca^2 预处理对热胁迫下的超微结构的完整性具有一定的保护作用,并且能使Ca^2 －ATP酶在热胁迫下维持较高活性。结果表明,Ca^2 预处理增强辣椒幼苗的抗热性,可能与其稳定细胞膜、从而使Ca^2 －ATP酶在热迫下保护较高活性有一定关系。

THE EFFECT OF BILIRUBIN ON THE ENERGY METABOLISM OF BRAIN MITOCHONDRIA

Abstract— Unconjugated bilirubin caused uncoupling of oxidative phosphorylation in brain mitochondria prepared from mature or weanling rats. Human serum albumin in an amount sufficient to bind 100 per cent of the added bilirubin was able to protect the mitochondria from the inhibitory effects of bilirubin. Bilirubin inhibited both the endogenous and DNP-activated ATPase activities but had no effect upon the Mg²⁺-stimulated ATPase; albumin prevented the inhibition.     

A Novel Newborn Rat Kernicterus Model Created by Injecting a Bilirubin Solution into the Cisterna Magna

Background

Kernicterus still occurs around the world; however, the mechanism of bilirubin neurotoxicity remains unclear, and effective treatment strategies are lacking. To solve these problems, several kernicterus (or acute bilirubin encephalopathy) animal models have been established, but these models are difficult and expensive. Therefore, the present study was performed to establish a novel kernicterus model that is simple and affordable by injecting unconjugated bilirubin solution into the cisterna magna (CM) of ordinary newborn Sprague-Dawley (SD) rats.

Methods

On postnatal day 5, SD rat pups were randomly divided into bilirubin and control groups. Then, either bilirubin solution or ddH₂O (pH = 8.5) was injected into the CM at 10 µg/g (bodyweight). For model characterization, neurobehavioral outcomes were observed, mortality was calculated, and bodyweight was recorded after bilirubin injection and weaning. Apoptosis in the hippocampus was detected by H&E staining, TUNEL, flow cytometry and Western blotting. When the rats were 28 days old, learning and memory ability were evaluated using the Morris water maze test.

Results

The bilirubin-treated rats showed apparently abnormal neurological manifestations, such as clenched fists, opisthotonos and torsion spasms. Bodyweight gain in the bilirubin-treated rats was significantly lower than that in the controls (P<0.001). The early and late mortality of the bilirubin-treated rats were both dramatically higher than those of the controls (P = 0.004 and 0.017, respectively). Apoptosis and necrosis in the hippocampal nerve cells in the bilirubin-treated rats were observed. The bilirubin-treated rats performed worse than the controls on the Morris water maze test.

Conclusion

By injecting bilirubin into the CM, we successfully created a new kernicterus model using ordinary SD rats; the model mimics both the acute clinical manifestations and the chronic sequelae. In particular, CM injection is easy to perform; thus, more stable models for follow-up study are available.     

The Ca 2+ pumps and the Na + / Ca 2+ exchangers

The Ca 2+ ATPases or Ca 2+ pumps transport Ca 2+ ions out of the cytosol, by using the energy stored in ATP. The Na + / Ca 2+ exchanger uses the chemical energy of the Na + gradient (the Na + concentration is much higher outside than inside the cell) to remove Ca 2+ from the cytosol. Ca 2+ pumps are found in the plasma membrane and in the endoplasmic reticulum of the cells. The pumps are probably present in the membrane of other organelles, but little experimental information is available on this matter. The Na + / Ca 2+ exchangers are located on the plasma membrane. A Na + / Ca 2+ exchanger was found in the mitochondria, but very little is known on its structure and sequence. These transporters control the Ca 2+ concentration in the cytosol and are vital to prevent Ca 2+ overload of the cells. Their activity is controlled by different mechanisms, that are still under investigation. A number of the possible isoforms for both types of proteins has been detected.© Kluwer Academic Publishers     

茉莉酸甲酯处理对绿豆下胚轴质膜H+-ATPase水解活力及磷酸化水平的影响

运用γ-32P示踪、蛋白激酶和磷酸酶抑制剂药理实验探讨茉莉酸甲酯(MeJA)对质膜H -ATP酶水解活力及磷酸化水平的影响.结果如下:MeJA可促进H -ATP酶水解活力30%;斑蝥素和岗田酸促进了MeJA对质膜H -ATP酶的刺激作用;星形孢菌素和白屈菜红碱削弱了MeJA对质膜H -ATP酶的刺激作用.H -ATP酶活力变化同时,其上的γ-32P标记量发生变化.Ca2 对H -ATP酶水解活力有很大的刺激作用,但对MeJA促进H -ATP酶活力的作用没有进一步的影响.根据这些结果可以得出结论:MeJA刺激质膜H -ATP酶水解活力的变化与H -ATP酶磷酸化水平呈正相关,并且催化这一作用的蛋白激酶可能不依赖于Ca2 ,而蛋白磷酸酶依赖于Ca2 .     

Exercise-induced alterations of hepatic mitochondrial function.

In order to examine the effect of a single bout of exercise on hepatic mitochondrial function, starved untrained male rats swam at 34-35 degrees C with a tail weight (5% of body wt.) for 100 min. The rates of ADP-stimulated and uncoupled respiration were higher in the mitochondria isolated from the exercised rats regardless of the substrate utilized. Succinate-linked Ca2+ uptake was 48% greater in the exercised group; however, Ca2+ efflux was markedly depressed. The inhibition of Ca2+ uptake by Mg2+ was higher in the control group, so that the difference in Ca2+ uptake between the two groups was greater in the presence of Mg2+ than in its absence. The response of phosphorylating respiration and Ca2+ fluxes to exogenous phosphate and the pH of the assay medium differed in the exercise group. These observations with the exercised group were not related to non-specific stress. The exercise-induced mitochondrial-functional alterations are reminiscent of those obtained from mitochondria isolated from glucagon- or catecholamine-treated sedentary rats. Thus, adrenergic stimulation as well as other factors may be operating during exercise, leading to an alteration of mitochondrial function in vitro.     

THE INFLUENCE OF BILIRUBIN ON OXIDATIVE PHOSPHORYLATION AND RELATED REACTIONS IN BRAIN AND LIVER MITOCHONDRIA: EFFECTS OF PROTEIN-BINDING

1. The uncoupling of oxidative phosphorylation of liver mitochondria by bilirubin does not occur in the presence of equimolar quantities of human serum albumin. With brain mitochondria, however, albumin was not protective. 2. A similar protective effect of albumin for liver, but not for brain, mitochondria was observed in studies of the effects of bilirubin on the ³²Pi-ATP exchange reaction. 3. The latent ATPase of fresh brain mitochondria is activated by Mg²⁺ but only slightly by DNP. Bilirubin increased the Mg²⁺ stimulated ATPase activity in liver mitochondria but depressed this activity in brain mitochondria. These effects were uninfluenced by protein binding. 4. Isotope studies with [¹⁴C]bilirubin demonstrated that the affinity of brain mitochondria for albumin-bound bilirubin is not greater than that of liver mitochondria. 5. The greater toxicity of protein-bound bilirubin for brain mitochondria than for liver mitochondria might be related to the greater lipid content of brain mitochondria.     

Effects of Pulse Current on Endurance Exercise and Its Anti-Fatigue Properties in the Hepatic Tissue of Trained Rats

Fatigue is synonymous with a wide spectrum of familiar physiological conditions, from pathology and general health, to sport and physical exercise. Strenuous, prolonged exercise training causes fatigue. Although several studies have investigated the effects of electrical stimulation frequency on muscle fatigue, the effects of percutaneous pulse current stimulation on fatigue in the hepatic tissue of trained rats is still unclear. In order to find an effective strategy to prevent fatigue or enhance recovery, the effects of pulse current on endurance exercise and its anti-fatigue properties in exercised rats were studied. Rats were subjected to one, three or five weeks of swimming exercise training. After exercise training, rats in the treated group received daily applications of pulse current. All rats were sacrificed after one, three or five weeks of swimming exercise, and the major biochemical indexes were measured in serum and liver. The results demonstrate that pulse current could prolong the exhaustion swimming time, as well as decrease serum ALT, AST and LD levels and liver MDA content. It also elevated serum LDH activity, liver SOD activity and glycogen content. Furthermore, pulse current increased the expression of Bcl-2 and decreased the expression of Bax. Taken together, these results show that pulse current can elevate endurance capacity and facilitate recovery from fatigue.
