Elemental distribution in striated muscle and the effects of hypertonicity: Electron probe analysis of cryo sections 总被引:11,自引:4,他引:11 下载免费PDF全文
A method of rapid freezing in supercooled Freon 22 (monochlorodifluoromethane) followed by cryoultramicrotomy is described and shown to yield ultrathin sections in which both the cellular ultrastructure and the distribution of diffusible ions across the cell membrane are preserved and intracellular compartmentalization of diffusabler ions can be quantitated. Quantitative electron probe analysis (Shuman, H., A.V. Somlyo, and A.P. Somlyo. 1976. Ultramicros. 1:317-339.) of freeze-dried ultrathin cryto sections was found to provide a valid measure of the composition of cells and cellular organelles and was used to determine the ionic composition of the in situ terminal cisternae of the sarcoplasmic reticulum (SR), the distribution of CI in skeletal muscle, and the effects of hypertonic solutions on the subcellular composition if striated muscle. There was no evidence of sequestered CI in the terminal cisternae of resting muscles, although calcium (66mmol/kg dry wt +/- 4.6 SE) was detected. The values of [C1](i) determined with small (50-100 nm) diameter probes over cytoplasm excluding organelles over nuclei or terminal cisternae were not significantly different. Mitochondria partially excluded C1, with a cytoplasmic/ mitochondrial Ci ratio of 2.4 +/- 0.88 SD. The elemental concentrations (mmol/kg dry wt +/- SD) of muscle fibers measured with 0.5-9-μm diameter electron probes in normal frog striated muscle were: P, 302 +/- 4.3; S, 189 +/- 2.9;C1, 24 +/- 1.1;K, 404 +/- 4.3, and Mg, 39 +/- 2.1. It is concluded that: (a) in normal muscle the "excess CI" measured with previous bulk chemical analyses and flux studies is not compartmentalized in the SR or in other cellular organelles, and (b) the cytoplasmic C1 in low [K](0) solutions exceeds that predicted by a passive electrochemical distribution. Hypertonic 2.2 X NaCl, 2.5 X sucrose, or 2.2 X Na isethionate produced: (a) swollen vacuoles, frequently paired, adjacent to the Z lines and containing significantly higher than cytoplasmic concentrations of Na and Cl or S (isethionate), but no detectable Ca, and (b) granules of Ca, Mg, and P = approximately (6 Ca + 1 Mg)/6P in the longitudinal SR. It is concluded that hypertonicity produces compartmentalized domains of extracellular solutes within the muscle fibers and translocates Ca into the longitudinal tubules. 相似文献

Inflammatory bowel diseases (IBD) are emerging globally, indicating that environmental factors may be important in their pathogenesis. Colonic mucosal epigenetic changes, such as DNA methylation, can occur in response to the environment and have been implicated in IBD pathology. However, mucosal DNA methylation has not been examined in treatment-naïve patients. We studied DNA methylation in untreated, left sided colonic biopsy specimens using the Infinium HumanMethylation450 BeadChip array. We analyzed 22 control (C) patients, 15 untreated Crohn’s disease (CD) patients, and 9 untreated ulcerative colitis (UC) patients from two cohorts. Samples obtained at the time of clinical remission from two of the treatment-naïve UC patients were also included into the analysis. UC-specific gene expression was interrogated in a subset of adjacent samples (5 C and 5 UC) using the Affymetrix GeneChip PrimeView Human Gene Expression Arrays. Only treatment-naïve UC separated from control. One-hundred-and-twenty genes with significant expression change in UC (> 2-fold, P < 0.05) were associated with differentially methylated regions (DMRs). Epigenetically associated gene expression changes (including gene expression changes in the IFITM1, ITGB2, S100A9, SLPI, SAA1, and STAT3 genes) were linked to colonic mucosal immune and defense responses. These findings underscore the relationship between epigenetic changes and inflammation in pediatric treatment-naïve UC and may have potential etiologic, diagnostic, and therapeutic relevance for IBD. 相似文献

The single most difficult problem in phylogenetic analysis is deciding
whether a shared taxonomic character is due to common ancestry or one that
appeared independently due to convergence, parallelism, or reversion to an
ancestral state. Mammalian L1 retrotransposons undergo periodic
amplifications in which multiple copies of the elements are interspersed in
the genome. Because these elements apparently are transmitted only by
inheritance and are retained in the genome, a shared L1 amplification event
can only be an inherited ancestral character. We propose that L1
amplification events can be an excellent tool for analyzing mammalian
evolution and demonstrate here how we addressed several refractory problems
in rodent systematics using L1 DNA as a taxonomic character.

The work was focused on the investigation of possible dependencies between the development of viral infection in plants and the presence of high heavy metal concentrations in soil. Field experiments have been conducted in order to study the development of systemic tobacco mosaic virus (TMV) infection in Lycopersicon esculentum L. cv. Miliana plants under effect of separate salts of heavy metals Cu, Zn and Pb deposited in soil. As it is shown, simultaneous effect of viral infection and heavy metals in tenfold maximum permissible concentration leads to decrease of total chlorophyll content in experiment plants mainly due to the degradation of chlorophyll a. The reduction of chlorophyll concentration under the combined influence of both stress factors was more serious comparing to the separate effect of every single factor. Plants' treatment with toxic concentrations of lead and zinc leaded to slight delay in the development of systemic TMV infection together with more than twofold increase of virus content in plants that may be an evidence of synergism between these heavy metal's and virus' effects. Contrary, copper although decreased total chlorophyll content but showed protective properties and significantly reduced amount of virus in plants. 相似文献

Investigated the relationship between pulmonary artery pressure (P(LA)) and the oxygen saturation of mixed venous blood (S(V)) in 12 group's of surveyed individuals (1750 men and 1026 women). We have identified a function (P(LA)) between P(LA) = f(S(V)), and a function (S(V)) S(V) = f(P(LA)) was estimated for each group based on direct measurements of P(LA) and S(V). We found, that factors were subordinated to the dependences for a P(LA) = f(S(V)), P(LA) = a x (S(V))(-b), where b = = -0.2284a + 0.6564 men - and b = -0.285a + 1.2947 in women and the other for -S(V) = f(P(LA)), S(V) = c x (P(LA))(-d) where d = -0.251311n(c) + 1.0212; (R2 = 0.8993) men and d = -1.96451n(c) + 2.852; (R2 = 0.9674) women. Each group occupies a position on the curves represented by equations. The subjects with a diagnosis of functional murmur in the heart and patients with congenital stenos is of the aortic valve form a group, provisionally designated as "group norms", which is characterized by its dependence P(LA) = f(S(V)), and -S(V) = f(P(LA)). The men in "group norms" additionally include patients with coronary heart disease. The equation - CO = Cons.O2/(KEK(S(A) - (c x (P(LA))(-d). It relates the P(LA), caused by different reasons, with the corresponding saturation of mixed venous blood, and when the saturation of mixed venous blood is also caused by various factors, set the corresponding P(LA). Interdependent changes in physiological parameters of blood circulation and gas exchange in humans is established equilibrium between systemic and pulmonary circulation. 相似文献

The relationship between pulmonary artery pressure (P
LA) and oxygen saturation of mixed venous blood (S
V
) has been studied in subjects (1750 men and 1026 women) subdivided into 12 groups. Functional relationships have been found
between P
LA and S
V
, P
LA = f(S
V
), and S
V
= f(P
LA), which were estimated using direct measurement of P
LA and S
V
for each group. These factors have been found to obey the following dependences: P
LA = f(S
V
) and P
LA = a(S
V
)−b
, where b = −0.2284a + 0.6564 in men and b = −0.285a + 1.2947 in women; S
V
= f(P
LA) and S
V
= c(P
LA)−d
, where d = −0.25131Ln(c) + 1.0212; R
2 = 0.8993 in men and d = −1.9645Ln(c) + 2.852; and R
2 = 0.9674 in women. Each group occupies a position on the curves specified by the equations. Subjects with the diagnosis of
a functional heart murmur and patients with congenital aortic valve stenosis were grouped together to form the so-called normal
group characterized by specific P
LA = f(S
V
) and S
V
= f(P
LA) dependences. Male patients with coronary heart disease were also included in the normal group. An equation was derived to
relate P
LA caused by different reasons with the corresponding saturation of mixed venous blood. In the case of the changing saturation
of mixed venous blood, this equation gives the corresponding value of P
LA. Equilibrium between systemic and pulmonary circulations is established through interdependent changes in the physiological
indices of blood circulation and gas exchange in humans. 相似文献
