Despite the differences in the response of male Betta splendens toward various stimuli, no research has attempted to determine the preference for a live conspecific versus a mirror presentation. A submerged T-maze was used to present both stimuli to healthy male B. splendens (N=16). The results indicated that subjects' start box and swimway latencies decreased significantly over the 30 trials. Moreover, the analysis of choices demonstrated a modest, but statistically significant, preference for the live conspecific over the mirror presentation. The results are discussed in terms of the stimuli qualities that elicit an aggressive response in B. splendens and the implications for common experimental procedures. 相似文献

Hb Catonsville is an unstable variant in which glutamic acid is inserted into the alpha-globin chain between Pro-37(C2) and Thr-38(C3). The peptide sequence data are consistent with the DNA sequence of the polymerase chain reaction-amplified fragment of the variant globin gene, which shows the insertion of the triplet codon--GAA--into the mutant alpha-globin gene. In the normal alpha-globin gene cluster the codon for glutamic acid is GAG rather than GAA. Thus, there are two features unique to Hb Catonsville, one the insertion of a single residue into the interior of the alpha-globin chain, and two the presence of the alternate codon for glutamic acid. The experimental evidence suggests that Hb Catonsville may be an example of nonhomologous nonallelic gene conversion, an observation not previously reported in this gene family. The mutation occurs in the critical alpha 1 beta 2 interface of the hemoglobin tetramer and leads to a variant with high oxygen affinity, a reduced cooperativity, and Bohr effect. 相似文献

Mice treated from birth with mouse monoclonal anti-IgD antibodies develop low frequencies of B cells in the spleen, a small percentage of which express very low levels of sIgD on their cell surface and extremely low frequencies of B cells in their lymph nodes, lacking sIgD entirely. However, the splenic B cells are phenotypically mature in that a high percentage of these cells express Lyb-5, indicating that the expression of sIgD is not a prerequisite for the acquisition of a mature surface antigen repertoire of B cells. In contrast, a high density of sIgM on splenic B cells is expressed, which suggests a predominance of cells with the phenotype of immature B cells and/or activated B cells. Furthermore, the spleen cells from anti-IgD-treated mice lack cells that respond to in vitro stimulation by LPS with an increase in the density of their sIa. 相似文献

Pancreatic cancer (PC) is a lethal malignancy primarily driven by activated Kras mutations and characterized by the deregulation of several genes including mucins. Previous studies on mucins have identified their significant role in both benign and malignant human diseases including PC progression and metastasis. However, the initiation of MUC expression during PC remains unknown because of lack of early stage tumor tissues from PC patients. In the present study, we have evaluated stage specific expression patterns of mucins during mouse PC progression in (KrasG12D;Pdx1-Cre (KC)) murine PC model from pancreatic intraepithelial neoplasia (PanIN) to pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDAC) by immunohistochemistry and quantitative real-time PCR. In agreement with previous studies on human PC, we observed a progressive increase in the expression of mucins particularly Muc1, Muc4 and Muc5AC in the pancreas of KC (as early as PanIN I) mice with advancement of PanIN lesions and PDAC both at mRNA and protein levels. Additionally, mucin expression correlated with the increased expression of inflammatory cytokines IFN-γ (p?0.0062), CXCL1 (p?0.00014) and CXCL2 (p?0.08) in the pancreas of KC mice, which are known to induce mucin expression. Further, we also observed progressive increase in inflammation in pancreas of KC mice from 10 to 50 weeks of age as indicated by the increase in the macrophage infiltration. Overall, this study corroborates with previous human studies that indicated the aberrant overexpression of MUC1, MUC4 and MUC5AC mucins during the progression of PC. Our study reinforces the potential utility of the KC murine model for determining the functional role of mucins in PC pathogenesis by crossing KC mice with corresponding mucin knockout mice and evaluating mucin based diagnostic and therapeutic approaches for lethal PC. 相似文献

Activation of CD1d-restricted invariant NKT (iNKT) cells by alpha-galactosylceramide (alphaGalCer) significantly suppresses development of diabetes in NOD mice. The mechanisms of this protective effect are complex, involving both Th1 and Th2 cytokines and a network of regulatory cells including tolerogenic dendritic cells. In the current study, we evaluated a newly described synthetic alphaGalCer analog (C20:2) that elicits a Th2-biased cytokine response for its impact on disease progression and immunopathology in NOD mice. Treatment of NOD mice with alphaGalCer C20:2 significantly delayed and reduced the incidence of diabetes. This was associated with significant suppression of the late progression of insulitis, reduced infiltration of islets by autoreactive CD8(+) T cells, and prevention of progressive disease-related changes in relative proportions of different subsets of dendritic cells in the draining pancreatic lymph nodes. Multiple favorable effects observed with alphaGalCer C20:2 were significantly more pronounced than those seen in direct comparisons with a closely related analog of alphaGalCer that stimulated a more mixed pattern of Th1 and Th2 cytokine secretion. Unlike a previously reported Th2-skewing murine iNKT cell agonist, the alphaGalCer C20:2 analog was strongly stimulatory for human iNKT cells and thus warrants further examination as a potential immunomodulatory agent for human disease. 相似文献
