Diffusion of the complex consisting of low density lipoprotein (LDL) bound to its receptor on the surface of human fibroblasts has been measured with the help of an intensely fluorescent, biologically active LDL derivative, dioctadecylindocarbocyanine LDL (dil(3)-LDL). Fluorescence photobleaching recovering and direct video observations of the Brownian motion of individual LDL-receptor complexes yielded diffusion coefficients for the slow diffusion on cell surfaces and fast diffusion on membrane blebs, respectively. At 10 degrees C, less that 20 percent of the LDL-receptor complex was measurably diffusible either on normal human fibroblasts GM-3348 or on LDL-receptor- internalization-defective J.D. cells GM-2408A. At 21 degrees and 28 degrees C, the diffusion fractions of approximately 75 and 60 percent, respectively, on both cell lines. The lipid analog nitrobenzoxadiazolephosphatidylcholine (NBD-PC) diffused in the GM-2408A cell membrane at 1.5x10(-8) cm(2)/sec at 22 degrees C. On blebs induced in GM-2408A cell membranes, the dil(3)-LDL receptor complex diffusion coefficient increased to approximately 10(-9) cm(2)/s, thus approaching the maximum theoretical predictions for a large protein in the viscous lipid bilayer. Cytoskeletal staining of blebs with NBD- phallacidin, a fluorescent probe specific for F-actin, indicated that loss of the bulk of the F-actin cytoskeleton accompanied the release of the natural constraints on later diffusion observed on blebs. This work shows that the internalization defect of J.D. is not due to immobilization of the LDL-receptor complex since its diffusibility is sufficient to sustain even the internalization rates observed in the native fibroblasts. Nevertheless, as with many other cell membrane receptors, the diffusion coefficient of the LDL-receptor complex is at least two orders of magnitude slower on native membrane than the viscous limit approached on cell membrane blebs where it is released from lateral constraints. However, LDL-receptor diffusion may not limit LDL internalization in normal human fibroblasts. 相似文献

Histones of Endomyces magnusii and Neurospora crassa were found to consist of four main fractions similar to calf thymus histones in their electrophoretic mobilities, molecular sizes and chromatographic behaviour on Akrilex P-60. Two of them are homologous to the most conservative histones H3 and H4. Other two fractions correspond to the histones H2A and H2B; however, they have some pecularities. A fraction of N. crassa histones corresponding to the H2B was isolated in a homogeneous state by means of gel filtration. It appeared to be very similar to calf thymus histone H2B in its amino acid composition. 相似文献

IntroductionMorning stiffness is assessed daily in the diagnostic process of arthralgia and arthritis, but large-scale studies on the discriminative ability are absent. This study explored the diagnostic value of morning stiffness in 5,202 arthralgia and arthritis patients and the prognostic value in early rheumatoid arthritis (RA).MethodsIn arthralgia patients referred to the Early Arthritis Recognition Clinics (EARC) of Leiden (n = 807) and Groningen (n = 481) or included in the Rotterdam Early Arthritis Cohort (REACH) study (n = 353), the associations (cross-sectional analyses) between morning stiffness and presence of arthritis at physical examination were studied. In early arthritis patients, included in the Leiden Early Arthritis Clinic (EAC) (n = 2,748) and Evaluation et Suivi de POlyarthrites Indifférenciées Récentes (ESPOIR) (n = 813), associations with fulfilling the 2010-RA criteria after one year were assessed. In 2010-RA patients included in the EAC (n = 1,140) and ESPOIR (n = 677), association with the long-term outcomes of disease-modifying antirheumatic drug (DMARD)-free sustained remission and radiological progression were determined. Morning stiffness was defined as a duration ≥60 minutes; sensitivity analyses were performed for other definitions.ResultsIn arthralgia, morning stiffness (≥60 minutes) associated with the presence of arthritis; Leiden EARC odds ratio (OR) 1.49 (95% CI 1.001 to 2.20), Groningen EARC OR 2.21 (1.33 to 3.69) and REACH OR 1.55 (0.97 to 2.47) but the areas under the receiver operating characteristic curve (AUCs) were low (0.52, 0.57, 0.54). In early arthritis, morning stiffness was associated with 2010-RA independent of other predictors (Leiden EAC OR 1.72 (95% CI 1.31 to 2.25, AUC 0.68), ESPOIR OR 1.68 (1.03 to 2.74, AUC 0.64)). Duration of ≥30 minutes provided optimal discrimination for RA in early arthritis. Morning stiffness was not associated with radiological progression or DMARD-free sustained remission.ConclusionsMorning stiffness in arthralgia and early arthritis is associated with arthritis and RA respectively. This supports the incorporation of morning stiffness in the diagnostic process.

Retinal ganglion cells in the rat were studied using the heavy metal intensified cytochrome oxidase and horseradish peroxidase histochemical methods.The results show that a population of large retinal ganglion cells was consistently observed with the cytochrome oxidase staining method in retinas of normal rats or rats which received unilateral thalamotomy at birth.These cytochrome oxidase rich ganglion cells appeared to have large somata,3-6 primary dendrites and extensive dendritic arbors,and are comparable to ganglion cells labeled by the wheat germ agglutinin conjugated to horseradish peroxidase (WGA-HRP).However,the morphological details of some of the cells revealed by the cytochrome oxidase staining method are frequently better than those shown by the HRP histochemical method.These results suggest that the mitochondrial enzyme cytochrome oxidase can be used as a simple but reliable marker for identifying and studying a population of retinal genglion cells with high metabolic rate in the rat. 相似文献

Pollution of aquatic ecosystems often results in adverse environmental disturbances, including physiological and/ or histomorphological changes in fish. The health of Clarias gariepinus sampled from two polluted water bodies, Orlando Dam and a pond in the Klipspruit wetland catchment, Soweto, was investigated in 2015–2016. Limited fish health-related data is available for this highly impacted freshwater ecosystem. Fish were collected between April 2015 and February 2016. A necropsy and a histological assessment were done on various target organs of each fish. Water and sediment samples were analysed for selected organic and inorganic compounds. Macroscopic assessment revealed abnormally shaped urogenital papillae, morphological alterations of the gonads, as well as discoloration of liver tissue. These observations were supported by microscopic evidence of hepatic histological alterations in fish from Orlando Dam, as well as the presence of both female and male gonadal tissue (intersex) in 13.6% and 50% of fish from the wetland pond and the Orlando Dam, respectively. Water analyses showed high levels of faecal coliform bacteria and metal concentrations and sediment analyses showed detectable levels of potential endocrine disrupting chemicals. 相似文献

Results are presented from studies of a two-beam scheme of ion acceleration by a high-frequency field excited by an electron beam due to the instabilities associated with anomalous and normal Doppler effects. The dynamics of the excitation of eigenmodes in a periodic slow wave structure (SWS) by a relativistic electron beam via the anomalous Doppler effect is investigated theoretically. Mechanisms for the saturation of the instability are considered, analytical expressions for the maximum field amplitude and the efficiency with which the energy of beam electrons is converted into the energy of the excited wave are derived, and the results of numerical simulations of such excitation are presented. An experimental stand designed to test the principles and possibility of proton acceleration up to an energy of 8 MeV at a current up to 3 A is described. A double resonance (associated with anomalous and normal Doppler effects) occurring in the interaction of an electron beam with a helical SWS is studied experimentally. In this case, an increase in the efficiency with which the accelerating high-frequency field is excited is observed. 相似文献
