急性低氧对大鼠脑组织钙调素含量及其依赖性蛋白激酶Ⅱ活性的影响

本实验观察了活性钙调素（ＣａＭ）含量和ＣａＭ依赖性蛋白激酶Ⅱ（ＣａＭｋｉｎａｓｅⅡ）活性在急性低氧（模拟海拔７０００ｍ,５ｈ）和常氧对照大鼠脑子组织中的变化。用流式产胞仪（ＦＡＣＳ）所测两组动物脑皮层细胞的ＣａＭ,平均荧光强度分别为４０．０±４．９和４６．１±５．８,急性低氧组明显低于常氧对照组（Ｐ＜０．０５）;用同位素液闪计数法所测两组动物皮层脑匀浆提取液中ＣａＭｋｉｎａｓｅⅡ活性,分别为１８４．３±８．１和１９８．８±９．４ｐｍｏｌＰｉ·ｍｉｎ－１·ｍｇ－１ｐｒｏ,急性低氧组明显低于常氧对照组（Ｐ＜０．０１）。结果提示ＣａＭ和ＣａＭｋｉｎａｓｅⅡ对低氧较为敏感,急性低氧时中枢神经细胞结构或功能的紊乱可能与活性ＣａＭ的含量减少和ＣａＭｋｉｎａｓｅⅡ活性能下降有关。

Polyamine regulation of Na+/glucose symporter expression in LLC-PK1 cells

Addition of polyamines or their analogs to newly confluent LLC-PK₁ cells resulted in down-regulation of Na⁺-glucose transport (symport) activity. Polyamines prevented the induction of this symporter by the differentiation inducer hexamethylene bisacetamide (HMBA) but did not influence induction by the phosphodiesterase inhibitor 3-isobutyl-1-methylxanthine (IBMX). Partial depletion of endogenous polyamines after addition of α -difluoromethylornithine (DFMO) resulted in a 4 to 5-fold increase in symporter expression. Symporter induction by either HMBA or DFMO was inhibited by the protein kinase inhibitor H-7 but H-7 did not affect symporter induction by IBMX. Changes in symporter activity were accompanied by changes in levels of the 75 kD symporter subunit detected by Western blot. Cultures exposed to HMBA exhibited reduced levels of ornithine decarboxylase activity. Our results suggest that induction of symporter expression by HMBA may be mediated in part by its effects on polymine metabolism, and point to parallel roles of polyamines and cyclic AMP in regulating the expression of this physiologically important renal transport system. © 1993 Wiley-Liss, Inc.     

Molecular and statistical approaches to the detection and correction of errors in genotype databases.

Errors in genotyping data have been shown to have a significant effect on the estimation of recombination fractions in high-resolution genetic maps. Previous estimates of errors in existing databases have been limited to the analysis of relatively few markers and have suggested rates in the range 0.5%-1.5%. The present study capitalizes on the fact that within the Centre d'Etude du Polymorphisme Humain (CEPH) collection of reference families, 21 individuals are members of more than one family, with separate DNA samples provided by CEPH for each appearance of these individuals. By comparing the genotypes of these individuals in each of the families in which they occur, an estimated error rate of 1.4% was calculated for all loci in the version 4.0 CEPH database. Removing those individuals who were clearly identified by CEPH as appearing in more than one family resulted in a 3.0% error rate for the remaining samples, suggesting that some error checking of the identified repeated individuals may occur prior to data submission. An error rate of 3.0% for version 4.0 data was also obtained for four chromosome 5 markers that were retyped through the entire CEPH collection. The effects of these errors on a multipoint map were significant, with a total sex-averaged length of 36.09 cM with the errors, and 19.47 cM with the errors corrected. Several statistical approaches to detect and allow for errors during linkage analysis are presented. One method, which identified families containing possible errors on the basis of the impact on the maximum lod score, showed particular promise, especially when combined with the limited retyping of the identified families. The impact of the demonstrated error rate in an established genotype database on high-resolution mapping is significant, raising the question of the overall value of incorporating such existing data into new genetic maps.     

Study of mechanisms of electric field-induced DNA transfection. V. Effects of DNA topology on surface binding, cell uptake, expression, and integration into host chromosomes of DNA in the mammalian cell.

Neumann and coworkers (Neumann, E., M. Schaefer-Ridder, Y. Wang, and P. H. Hofschneider. 1982. EMBO J. 1:841-845) have shown that the efficiency of pulsed electric field (PEF)-induced DNA transfection of mouse L-cells by the thymidine kinase gene is several times higher for the linear DNA than for the closed circular DNA. Transfection of Escherichia coli bacteria by several plasmids indicates that the transfection efficiency was much higher for the closed circular/supercoiled (sc-) and circular/relaxed (cr-) DNA than for the linearized (In-) DNA (Xie, T. D., L. Sun, H. G. Zhao, J. A. Fuchs, and T. Y. Tsong. 1992. Biophys. J. 63:1026-1031). To resolve these conflicting observations, we have systematically examined electrotransfection of NIH3T3 mouse fibroblast by the plasmids, pRSVcat, pRSVneo, and pRSVgpt. Mg(2+)-facilitated surface binding of DNA before, and DNA uptake by 3T3 cells after treatment with PEF, were monitored by 3H-labeled plasmids. Transfection efficiency was evaluated by both the transient expression of chloramphenicol acetyltransferase (cat) activity 2-3 days after, and the permanent expression of neomycin phosphotransferase (neo) and xanthine-guanine phosphoribosyltransferase (gpt) genes in the transformants 2 weeks after the PEF treatment. Our results indicate that cell surface binding and PEF-induced cell uptake of DNA did not depend on the topology of DNA. However, both the transient and the permanent expression of the plasmids were three to five times more efficient for the cr-DNA and the sc-DNA than for the in-DNA.(ABSTRACT TRUNCATED AT 250 WORDS)
