Experimental hypothermia caused extensive changes in the number of both classes of insulin receptors in different rat tissues. In the liver, the number of high affinity insulin receptors (HAIRs) decreased by 50% (from 25.3 to 12.6 fmol/mg membrane protein), whereas number of low affinity insulin receptors (LAIRs) was almost unchanged in comparison to normothermic animals (5.63 and 4.39 pmol/mg, respectively). In the adipose tissue, number of both classes was reduced--HAIRs by 81% (from 24.0 to 4.50 fmol/mg) and LAIRs by 92% (from 16.0 to 1.29 pmol/mg). In the skeletal muscle, capacity of HAIRs was not changed (16.2 and 19.3 fmol/mg in normo- and hypothermic animals, respectively), whereas number of LAIRs increased by 150% (from 6.65 to 16.6 pmol/mg). Hypothermic rats also showed lower amount (by 85%) of LAIRs in the heart muscle (9.37 and 1.43 pmol/mg in control and experimental animals, respectively). Simultaneously, no significant changes were found in HAIRs (16.3 and 11.9 fmol/mg, respectively) and LAIRs (4.43 and 3.88 pmol/mg, respectively) in the brain. These differences in insulin receptors responses to hypothermia may reflect different physiological role of insulin in the regulation of target cell metabolism and/or the differences in tissue distribution of the insulin receptor isoforms. 相似文献

Sections of adult mammalian cardiac muscles fixed at room temperature reveal numerous microtubules (24--28 nm in diameter) both near the nucleus and in the extra-myofibrillar space. Microtubules encircle the nucleus, are associated with the myofibrils in a helical arrangement, and form a network that runs transversely at the level of the I band and axially between the myofibrils. Microtubules are more numerous in muscle cells than previously recognized and may perform more than cytoskeletal function. 相似文献

X-ray diffraction patterns from mammalian heart muscle 总被引:8,自引:0,他引:8
We have obtained light and X-ray diffraction patterns from trabecular and papillary muscles of various mammalian hearts in the living resting state and in rigor. Equatorial X-ray diffraction patterns from living muscles show the 1,0 and 1,1 reflections from a hexagonal lattice of filaments. The lattice spacing varies with sarcomere length over the observable range (2·0 to 2·5 μm) in such a manner that the lattice volume remains constant. In the living resting state the 1,0 reflection is stronger than the 1,1 reflection, whereas in rigor the 1,1 reflection is almost as strong as the 1,0 reflection. These intensity changes are similar to those found in vertebrate skeletal muscle, suggesting that the mechanism of cross-bridge attachment to actin is similar in both muscles.Two types of meridional X-ray diffraction pattern were observed in muscles in different conditions. One type, obtained from dead or glycerol-extracted muscles or from muscles treated with iodoacetate, showed a strong actin-related pattern but only a weak pattern associated with myosin. This type of pattern was similar to that from vertebrate skeletal muscle in rigor. The other type, obtained from living, resting muscle, showed a weaker actin pattern but a stronger myosin pattern. The myosin pattern included layer-line reflections associated with projections from the thick filaments. This second type of pattern was similar to that from resting vertebrate skeletal muscle, but the layer lines were weaker. The weakness of the myosin layer lines may indicate that part of the high resting tension found in heart muscle arises from a small amount of actin-myosin interaction in the resting state. Such interaction could provide a mechanism for varying the diastolic length of heart muscle and thereby the diastolic volume of the heart. 相似文献

Megazol, nifurtimox, benznidazol and allopurinol were investigated, by light and electron microscopy, for their action on T. cruzi. Both the direct effect upon amastigote and trypomastigote forms and the effect upon the interaction of heart muscle cells (HMC) with bloodstream trypomastigotes were studied. The proliferation of amastigotes in Warren medium was inhibited in a dose-dependent manner by megazol, nifurtimox and benznidazol. Treatment of amastigotes (25-50 microM/24 h) and trypomastigotes (25 microM/24h) led to several ultrastructural alterations in the parasites. These three drugs also had a potent effect on the treatment of infected heart muscle cells when added at the beginning of the interaction or after one or three days of infection. The interiorized parasites showed a similar pattern of ultrastructural alterations as observed by the direct effect on the amastigotes. The primary heart muscle cell culture proved to be a suitable model for the study of drugs on intracellular parasites. Likewise, the amastigote proliferation in axenic medium was shown to be an adequate assay for an initial trial of drugs. These parameters seem very reliable to us for a systematic investigation of the mechanism of action of new drugs. 相似文献

Interaction of [125I]-insulin with intact hepatocytes and its correlation with circulatory insulin level was examined. The hepatocytes from new-born rats bound lowest amount of [125I]-insulin (1.39±0.41 pM/mg cell protein) when circulatory insulin level was high (8±1.5 ΜU/ml). Hepatocytes from 7 day and 21 day old animals demonstrated a more or less similar relationship, Cells from 31 day old animals exhibited maximum insulin binding, activity (5.13±0.18.pM/mg cell protein) against a low serum insulin level (4.25±0.25 ΜU/ ml). Scatchard analysis of insulin binding shows that the affinity is higher in the hepatocytes from new-born animals than in the hepatocytes of 31 day old animals. Higher binding observed in the latter case may be due to a greater number of binding sites. Hepatocytes from one year old rats bound very little insulin (2.50±0.36 pM/mg cell protein) against a high circulatory insulin level (9.25±0.85 ΜU/ml). In view of these results, it appears that the down-regulation hypothesis holds true during ontogeny too. 相似文献

The role of Ca2+ in the initiation and maintenance of contraction has been extensively studies. Many of these studies have focused on how Ca2+ influx and efflux affect cytoplasmic Ca2+ (Cai) and, therefore, contraction in cardiac muscle. However, it has recently become apparent that Cai itself may play a major role in the control of Ca2+ influx and efflux from cardiac muscle. Here we review current ideas on the mechanisms underlying Ca2+ homeostasis in cardiac muscle, with specific attention to how Cai may control Ca2+ influx, both under normal and pathological conditions. 相似文献

Effect of chloride withdrawal on the geometry of the T-tubules in amphibian and mammalian muscle 总被引:3,自引:0,他引:3

Summary The relative chloride permeabilities of the T-tubule membranes in mammalian (rat sternomastoid) and amphibian (toad sartorius) skeletal muscle fibers have been assessed from the change in volume of the T-tubules during chloride withdrawal from fibers exposed to low extracellular chloride concentrations. A 3.5- to 4.2-fold increase in T-tubule volume was found in mammalian fibers, and this was shown to be independent of the composition of the low chloride solution or the nature of the fixative used in preparation for electron microscopy. The increase in T-tubule volume was transient and was inhibited by factors which block chloride conductance, i.e., low pH, 2,4-dichlorophenoxyacetic acid, and nitrate ions. A small increase (1.48-fold) in T-tubule volume was seen in amphibian fibers when chloride ions were replaced by sulphate ions. No increase in volume was observed in amphibian T-tubules when methyl sulphate ions replaced chloride ions. The results support the idea that the chloride permeability of the T-tubule membrane is significantly higher in mammalian fibers than in amphibian fibers. 相似文献

Phosphocreatine (PCr) and intracellular pH changes were monitored by 31P-NMR spectroscopy in isolated, arterially perfused cat biceps and soleus muscles, while the pH of the CO2-bicarbonate buffered perfusate was decreased from 7.1-7.4 to 6.4-6.7 by increasing the CO2 in the equilibrating gas from 5 to up to 70%. In biceps (fast twitch) muscles, intracellular pH decreased from 7.0 to 6.6 (30% CO2, 30 degrees C), peak tetanic force decreased by 8%, but the rise and relaxation times of tetanic were not significantly changed. In soleus muscles, intracellular pH decreased from 7.0 to 6.6 (30% CO2, 30 degrees C), peak tetanic force was unchanged, but the rise and relaxation times of tetani were increased by 27 and 112%, respectively. In both muscles greater decreases in tetanic force were observed during repetitive or ischemic stimulation, which resulted in intracellular pH similar to that produced by hypercapnia. Contrary to previous reports, there was no significant decrease in PCr level in either muscle type with decreased intracellular pH. In the soleus at 30 degrees C there was a significant increase in PCr level with decreased pH. 相似文献

An action of cold was found to decrease the rat myocardium contractile activity which correlated with the catecholamines level in adrenergic fibres and glycogenolysis in cardiac muscle. Coronary blood flow preservation associated with cold, and its decrease 18 hrs later are connected with the change in the basophils activity in the myocardium as well as with the dynamics of sympatho-adrenal system condition during experiment. 相似文献

The surface charge of heart muscle cells (HMC) andTrypanosoma cruzi trypomastigotes was estimated during their interaction by means of zeta potential (ZP). Metacyclic and bloodstream trypomastigote, but not amastigote forms, are able to decrease the surface charge of HMC as well as other nonphagocytic cells. However, no alteration could be detected onT. cruzi-infected macrophage cell line. Trypomastigote forms collected from the supernatant after 20 h of contact with HMC also have their ZP value decreased. The analysis of the surface components of both the parasite and HMC involved in such interaction was also carried out. Assays concerning the kinetics of the cell-parasite interaction demonstrated the influence of parasite surface anionogenicity during its interaction with HMC. The binding of bloodstream forms to HMC was enhanced after their incubation with cationized ferritin (CF), whereas phospholipase C and neuraminidase treatments improved and trypsin treatment inhibited parasite uptake in HMC. Conversely, the incubation of HMC with phospholipase C impaired, and with trypsin enhanced, the interiorization of the parasites. These results suggest that trypomastigote forms ofT. cruzi may process the surface of HMC and its own surface either by removing molecules or by exposing ligands for their internalization. 相似文献
