Intermittent hypoxia augments carotid body and ventilatory response to hypoxia in neonatal rat pups.

Carotid bodies are functionally immature at birth and exhibit poor sensitivity to hypoxia. Previous studies have shown that continuous hypoxia at birth impairs hypoxic sensing at the carotid body. Intermittent hypoxia (IH) is more frequently experienced in neonatal life. Previous studies on adult animals have shown that IH facilitates hypoxic sensing at the carotid bodies. On the basis of these studies, in the present study we tested the hypothesis that neonatal IH facilitates hypoxic sensing of the carotid body and augments ventilatory response to hypoxia. Experiments were performed on 2-day-old rat pups that were exposed to 16 h of IH soon after the birth. The IH paradigm consisted of 15 s of 5% O2 (nadir) followed by 5 min of 21% O2 (9 episodes/h). In one group of experiments (IH and control, n = 6 pups each), sensory activity was recorded from ex vivo carotid bodies, and in the other (IH and control, n = 7 pups each) ventilation was monitored in unanesthetized pups by plethysmography. In control pups, sensory response of the carotid body was weak and was slow in onset (approximately 100 s). In contrast, carotid body sensory response to hypoxia was greater and the time course of the response was faster (approximately 30 s) in IH compared with control pups. The magnitude of the hypoxic ventilatory response was greater in IH compared with control pups, whereas changes in O2 consumption and CO2 production during hypoxia were comparable between both groups. The magnitude of ventilatory stimulation by hyperoxic hypercapnia (7% CO2-balance O2), however, was the same between both groups of pups. These results demonstrate that neonatal IH facilitates carotid body sensory response to hypoxia and augments hypoxic ventilatory chemoreflex. 相似文献

To develop a reproducible tissue lysis method that retains enzyme function for activity-based protein profiling, we compared four different methods to obtain protein extracts from bovine lung tissue: focused ultrasonication, standard sonication, mortar & pestle method, and homogenization combined with standard sonication. Focused ultrasonication and mortar & pestle methods were sufficiently effective for activity-based profiling of deubiquitinases in tissue, and focused ultrasonication also had the fastest processing time. We used focused-ultrasonicator for subsequent activity-based proteomic analysis of deubiquitinases to test the compatibility of this method in sample preparation for activity-based chemical proteomics. 相似文献

Listeria monocytogenes is a gram-positive, food-borne pathogen that causes disease in both humans and animals. There are three major genetic lineages of L. monocytogenes and 13 serovars. To further our understanding of the differences that exist between different genetic lineages/serovars of L. monocytogenes, we analyzed the global protein expression of the serotype 1/2a strain EGD and the serotype 4b strain F2365 during early-stationary-phase growth at 37°C. Using multidimensional protein identification technology with electrospray ionization tandem mass spectrometry, we identified 1,754 proteins from EGD and 1,427 proteins from F2365, of which 1,077 were common to both. Analysis of proteins that had significantly altered expression between strains revealed potential biological differences between these two L. monocytogenes strains. In particular, the strains differed in expression of proteins involved in cell wall physiology and flagellar biosynthesis, as well as DNA repair proteins and stress response proteins. 相似文献

Syntaxins 3 and 4 localize to the apical and basolateral plasma membrane, respectively, of epithelial cells where they mediate vesicle fusion. Here, we report that before establishment of cell polarity, syntaxins 3 and 4 are confined to mutually exclusive, submicron-sized clusters. Syntaxin clusters are remarkably uniform in size, independent of expression levels, and are distinct from caveolae and clathrin-coated pits. SNAP-23 partially colocalizes with both syntaxin 3 and 4 clusters. Deletion of the apical targeting signal of syntaxin 3 does not prevent sorting into clusters away from syntaxin 4. Syntaxin 3 and 4 cluster formation depends on different mechanisms because the integrity of syntaxin 3 clusters depends on intact microtubules, whereas syntaxin 4 clusters depend on intact actin filaments. Cholesterol depletion causes dispersion of syntaxin 3 but not syntaxin 4 clusters. In migrating cells, syntaxin clusters polarize to the leading edge, suggesting a role in polarized exocytosis. These results suggest that exocytosis occurs at small fusion sites exhibiting high local concentrations of SNARE proteins that may be required for efficient membrane fusion. The establishment of separate clusters for each syntaxin suggests that the plasma membrane is inherently polarized on an ultrastructural level even before the establishment of true cell polarity. 相似文献

We have identified a novel 7-azaindole series of anaplastic lymphoma kinase (ALK) inhibitors. Compounds 7b, 7m and 7n demonstrate excellent potencies in biochemical and cellular assays. X-ray crystal structure of one of the compounds (7k) revealed a unique binding mode with the benzyl group occupying the back pocket, explaining its potency towards ALK and selectivity over tested kinases particularly Aurora-A. This binding mode is in contrast to that of known ALK inhibitors such as Crizotinib and NVP-TAE684 which occupy the ribose binding pocket, close to DFG motif. 相似文献

We previously reported that reactive oxygen species generated by NADPH oxidase 2 (Nox2) induces sensory plasticity of the carotid body, manifested as a progressive increase in baseline sensory activity or sensory long-term facilitation (sLTF). ANG II, a peptide generated within the carotid body, is a potent activator of Nox2. In the present study, we tested the hypothesis that ANG II evokes sLTF of the carotid body via Nox2 activation. Experiments were performed on carotid bodies ex vivo from adult rats and mice. Sensory activity was recorded from the carotid sinus nerve. Repetitive (5 times for 30 s each at 5-min intervals), but not continuous (for 150 s), application of 60 pM ANG II evoked robust sLTF of the carotid body. ACh, ATP, substance P, and KCl, when applied repetitively, stimulated the carotid body but did not evoke sLTF. Reactive oxygen species levels increased in response to repetitive applications of ANG II, and this effect was blocked by apocynin, an inhibitor of Nox2, as well as losartan, an angiotensin type 1 (AT(1)) receptor antagonist. Losartan, apocynin, and 4-(2-aminoethyl)benzenesulfonyl fluoride prevented ANG II-induced sLTF, which was absent in mice deficient in gp91(phox), the catalytic subunit of the Nox2 complex. These results demonstrate that repetitive application of ANG II induces sLTF of the carotid body via activation of Nox2 by AT(1) receptors. 相似文献
