Sintered compounds prepared with β-tricalcium phosphate (β-TCP) are commonly used as biocompatible materials for bone regenerative medicine. Although implanted β-TCP is gradually replaced with new bone after resorption by osteoclasts, exactly how osteoclasts resorb β-TCP is not well understood. To elucidate this mechanism, we analyzed the structure of β-TCP discs on which mouse mature osteoclasts were cultured using scanning electron microscopy. We found that β-TCP was resorbed by mature osteoclasts on one side of each disc, as evidenced by the formation of multiple spine-like crystals at the exposed areas. Because osteoclasts secrete acid to resorb bone minerals, we mimicked this acidification by dipping β-TCP slices into HCl solution (pH 2.0). However, no spine-like crystals appeared even though the size of each β-TCP particle was reduced. On dentin slices, osteoclasts formed clear actin rings, which are cytoskeletal structures characteristic of bone-resorbing osteoclasts. No clear actin rings were observed in osteoclasts cultured on β-TCP slices, although small actin dots were observed. Analysis by transmission electron microscopy showed that osteoclasts attached to β-TCP particles. These results suggest that osteoclasts resorb β-TCP particles independently of clear actin ring formation. 相似文献

The inheritance and relationships between four traits of agronomic and quality interest??fructification time, caffeine, and heteroside contents and 100-bean weight??were analyzed in the first backcross hybrids derived from an interspecific cross between Coffea pseudozanguebariae and Coffea canephora. We showed that short vs. long fructification time was governed by one major gene with two co-dominant alleles ft1 and ft2. Absence vs. presence of both caffeine and heteroside was also controlled by one major gene. The allele responsible for the presence of caffeine (caf2) dominated over the absence one (caf1) whereas both alleles controlling heteroside, het1 and het2, were co-dominant. The fructification time and the heteroside content were additive while the caffeine content seemed multiplicative. The 100-bean weight was additive and under a polygenic control. The two genes ft and caf were linked, separated by 30.8?cM, and were independent from the het gene. The relationships between the four traits were not strong enough, except between 100-bean weight and fructification time (r?=?0.43) or caffeine content (r?=?0.41). Recombination occurred between the genes controlling the four traits suggesting that new introgressed Robusta varieties, characterized by short, medium, or long fructification time depending on demand, bigger seeds with low or no caffeine content, and being heteroside-free, could be produced. 相似文献

To set up an in situ conservation strategy for Phaseolus lunatus, we analyzed the genetic structure of 29 populations in the Central Valley of Costa Rica. Using 22 enzyme loci, we quantified the proportion of polymorphic loci (P(p)), the mean number of alleles per locus (A), and the mean effective number of alleles per locus (A(e)), which equaled to 10.32%, 1.10, and 1.05, respectively. The total heterozygosity (H(T)), the intrapopulation genetic diversity (H(S)), and the interpopulation genetic diversity (D(ST)) were 0.193, 0.082, and 0.111, respectively. The genotypic composition of the analyzed populations showed a deviation from the Hardy-Weinberg proportions (F(IT) = 0.932). This disequilibrium was due to either genetic differentiation between populations (F(ST) = 0.497) or nonrandom mating within populations (F(IS) = 0.866). From the level of genetic differentiation between populations and the private alleles frequencies estimates, gene flow was calculated: Nm(W) = 0.398 and Nm(S) = 0.023, respectively. The results suggested that wild Lima bean maintains most of its isozyme variation among populations. Significant positive correlation was observed between population size and P(p), A, and H(o) (observed heterozygosity), whereas no correlation was observed with the average fixation index of population (F). The loss of genetic variability in populations was attributed to inbreeding and the bottleneck effects that characterized the target populations. In situ conservation and management procedures for wild Lima bean are discussed. 相似文献

HLA-C loci frequently have an unclassifiable blank (CwBL) specificity. It is unclear whether HLA-C specificities associated with the haplotypes of A24 Bw52 CwBL DR2 DQw1 and Aw33 B44 CwBL DRw13 DQw1 in Japanese (tentatively named Cx52 and Cx44, respectively) really exist. Southern hybridization experiments revealed that restriction enzyme-cleaved genomic DNA from AKIBA, consanguineous HLA homozygote, two other homozygotes with the former haplotype, and three homozygous cells with the latter haplotype hybridized strongly with an HLA-C-specific probe. We have screened the cDNA library constructed from AKIBA to isolate cDNA clones encoding the putative Cx52 antigen, and picked up 103 cDNA clones with HLA-class I DNA probes as possible candidates. By restriction enzyme mapping and Southern hybridization of selected clones, we identified three isotypes of cDNA clones, pA01, pB55, and pC68, which appeared to encode A24, Bw52, and Cx52, respectively. The nucleotide sequence of pC68 showed higher homology with exons of the HLA-C gene than with those of the HLA-A and HLA-B genes, especially in exons 6–8 which include the HLA-C-specific region. Comparison of amino acid sequences showed more than 86% homology among Cw1, Cw2, Cw3, and new pC68-encoded Cx52 proteins. These results support the notion that the inability to define C antigens serologically in this Cx52 haplotype is not due to a HLA-C gene deletion or mutation, but to the absence of typing sera. 相似文献

An assessment of the competitive indices in intercropping between cassava (Manihot esculenta) and bottle gourd (Lagenaria siceraria) was conducted with the aim of increasing the productivity of these crops. For this purpose, three farmers preferred landraces of cassava (yacé, blêbou and six mois) and three morphotypes of gourd (dark green and round fruit, light green and round fruit, light green and long fruit) were used to test the three intercropping ratios (gourd:cassava with 6:42, 6:24 and 6:18). Intercropping systems were assessed by land equivalent ratio (LER), area time equivalent ratio (ATER), relative crowding coefficient (K), actual yield loss (AYL), aggressivity (A) and competition ratio (CR). LER, ATER and K values were greater than 1 for gourd-cassava (6:24). These findings indicate an advantage of intercropping for exploiting the resources of the environment. Cassava clones were more competitive than gourd component. 相似文献

The behavior of radiocesium (137Cs) in aquatic plants (five species) and algae (three genera) grown in either a river (one sampling point) or pond (four sampling points) in the vicinity of the Fukushima Daiichi nuclear power plant was investigated. The 137Cs concentration of <0.45-μm fractions of water taken from the river and ponds was between 5.01 × 10?1 and 2.98 Bq/L, while that of sediment was between 4.85 × 103 and 5.72 × 104 Bq/kg dry weight. The ratio of 137Cs concentration of sediment/water in ponds was ~104. The sediment-to-plant transfer factor (TF) [(137Cs concentration Bq/kg dry weightplant) × (137Cs concentration Bq/kg dry weightsediment)?1] was also measured. For aquatic plants, the highest value was 5.55 for Potamogeton crispus from the river, while the lowest was 3.34 × 10?2 for P. distinctus from a pond. There were significant differences in values between aquatic plants belonging to the same genus. The water-to-plant TF [(137Cs concentration Bq/kg dry weightplant) × (137Cs concentration Bq/Lwater)?1] of filamentous algae (Spirogyra sp.) and cyanobacteria (coexisting Anabaena sp. and Microcystis sp.) were 2.39 × 103 and 1.26 × 103, respectively. The 137Cs concentration of cyanobacteria in pond water was 4.87 × 10?1 Bq/L, which was the same order of magnitude as the 137Cs concentration of pond water. Enrichment of 137Cs in cyanobacteria was not observed. 相似文献

Daily melatonin (10-50 mg/kg, i.p.) treatment at 08.30 h or 17.00 h for 1 week of female rats (2-months-old) increased the latency to the appearance of the first convulsion in the pilocarpine-induced seizure model. Other behavior parameters remained unaltered. The anticonvulsant effect of melatonin seemed to be more intense at the light-dark transition. Moreover, the effect of repeated melatonin treatment was also age-related, since it showed a lower threshold in 2-month-old than in 21-day-old rats, and the acute treatment was not efficient. [3H]N-methylscopolamine binding was unaltered in the hippocampus and striatum of adult rats after the association of melatonin and pilocarpine. While muscarinic binding was unaltered in adult rats, it increased in the hippocampus of young rats in the presence of melatonin (50 mg/kg) and pilocarpine, and did not change in the striatum. Melatonin partially recovered [3H]GABA binding in the hippocampus in the presence of pilocarpine-induced seizures, and intensified pilocarpine effects in the striatum of adult rats. 相似文献
