Summary Human and rat spermatozoa were stained for different carbonic anhydrase (CA) isoenzymes using specific antisera to human CA I, II and VI in conjunction with the immunofluorescence technique. The spermatozoa of both species were found to contain only CA II, which was located principally in the postacrosomal region of the human spermatozoa and in the acrosomal cap region of the rat spermatozoa. The presence of CA II could be confirmed by immunoblotting, which revealed a 29 K polypeptide in both the human and rat spermatozoa. No CA I or VI-specific fluorescence could be detected in the spermatozoa of either species. The immunoblottings were also negative. The results show mammalian spermatozoa to contain the high activity carbonic anhydrase isoenzyme II. Its presence is probably linked to hydration of CO2 produced by active energy metabolism and thereby to the maintaining of an adequate intraspermatozoal bicarbonate concentration as required for the maintenance of sperm motility. 相似文献

Carbonic anhydrase isozyme XII (CA XII) is a novel membrane-associated protein with a potential role in von Hippel-Lindau carcinogenesis. Although Northern blotting has revealed positive signal for CA XII in normal human kidney, this is the first study to demonstrate its cellular and subcellular localization along the human nephron and collecting duct. Immunohistochemistry with a polyclonal antibody (PAb) raised against truncated CA XII revealed distinct staining in the basolateral plasma membrane of the epithelial cells in the thick ascending limb of Henle and distal convoluted tubules, and in the principal cells of the collecting ducts. A weak basolateral signal was also detected in the epithelium of the proximal convoluted tubules. In addition to the normal kidney specimens, this immunohistochemical study included 31 renal tumors. CA XII showed moderate or strong plasma membrane-associated expression in most oncocytomas and clear-cell carcinomas. The segmental, cellular, and subcellular distribution of CA XII along the human nephron and collecting duct suggests that it may be one of the key enzymes involved in normal renal physiology, particularly in the regulation of water homeostasis. High expression of CA XII in some renal carcinomas may contribute to its role in von Hippel-Lindau carcinogenesis. 相似文献

The receptor tyrosine kinase Tie2, and its activating ligand Angiopoietin-1 (Ang1), are required for vascular remodelling and vessel integrity, whereas Ang2 may counteract these functions. However, it is not known how Tie2 transduces these different signals. Here, we show that Ang1 induces unique Tie2 complexes in mobile and confluent endothelial cells. Matrix-bound Ang1 induced cell adhesion, motility and Tie2 activation in cell-matrix contacts that became translocated to the trailing edge in migrating endothelial cells. In contrast, in contacting cells Ang1 induced Tie2 translocation to cell-cell contacts and the formation of homotypic Tie2-Tie2 trans-associated complexes that included the vascular endothelial phosphotyrosine phosphatase, leading to inhibition of paracellular permeability. Distinct signalling proteins were preferentially activated by Tie2 in the cell-matrix and cell-cell contacts, where Ang2 inhibited Ang1-induced Tie2 activation. This novel type of cellular microenvironment-dependent receptor tyrosine kinase activation may explain some of the effects of angiopoietins in angiogenesis and vessel stabilization. 相似文献

The Angiopoietin-2 (Ang2, Angpt2) growth factor is a context-dependent antagonist/agonist ligand of the endothelial Tie2 receptor tyrosine kinase and known to promote tumour angiogenesis and metastasis. Angiopoietin antagonists have been tested in clinical cancer trials in combination with VEGF-based anti-angiogenic therapy, including sunitinib, which is widely used as a first-line therapy for metastatic renal cell carcinoma (mRCC). However, little is known about Ang2 protein expression in human tumours and the correlation of tumour Ang2 expression with tumour vascularization, tumour cell proliferation and response to anti-angiogenic therapies. Here, we evaluated, using immunohistochemistry, the expression of Ang2, CD31 and the cell proliferation marker Ki-67 in the primary kidney cancer from 136 mRCC patients, who received first-line sunitinib after nephrectomy. Ang2 protein expression was restrained to RCC tumour vessels, and correlated with tumour vascularization and response to sunitinib. High pre-therapeutic Ang2 expression, and more strongly, combined high expression of both Ang2 and CD31, were associated with a high clinical benefit rate (CBR). Low cancer Ki-67 expression, but not Ang2 or CD31 expression, was associated with favourable progression-free (PFS) and overall survival (OS) as compared to patients with high Ki-67 expression (PFS 6.5 vs. 10.6 months, P = 0.009; OS, 15.7 vs. 28.5 months, P = 0.015). In summary, in this study to investigate endothelial Ang2 in mRCC patients treated with first-line sunitinib, high cancer Ang2 expression was associated with the CBR, but not PFS or OS, whereas low Ki-67 expression was significantly associated with long PFS and OS. 相似文献

Immunohistochemical localization of carbonic anhydrase isoenzymes in the human male reproductive tract 总被引:3,自引:0,他引:3
The distribution of human carbonic anhydrase (HCA) isoenzymes I, II and VI in the human male reproductive tract was studied using specific antisera against affinity purified isoenzymes in conjunction with the peroxidase-antiperoxidase complex method. HCA VI-specific staining could not be demonstrated in any of the tissues studied, and HCA I was observed only in red blood cells. Immunostaining denoted HCA II in the epithelia of the seminal vesicle, ampulla of the ductus deferens and distal ductus deferens. Some cells in the epithelium of the corpus and cauda epididymidis also stained for HCA II. The staining for HCA II in the epithelium of the reproductive tract declined from the strongly positive seminal vesicle to the proximal part of the ductus deferens, which stained negatively. There were also HCA II-positive particles derived from the apical protrusions of the epithelium in the lumina of the seminal vesicle, ampulla of the ductus deferens and ductus deferens. The physiological role of HCA II is linked to the secretion of bicarbonate into the seminal plasma and thereby to the regulation of sperm motility and pH in the seminal plasma. 相似文献

Currently, many rare and endangered species occur in fragmented habitats. Habitat patch size is often used as an easily measured surrogate of habitat quality and local population size. We investigated whether habitat patch size affects the presence and density of larvae of the endangered dragonfly Aeshna viridis, which for a large part of their life history depend on the macrophyte Stratiotes aloides rosette. The study was performed in four populations, two from Finland and two from Latvia. Our main result was that density of A. viridis and patch occupation increased with area of S. aloides patch. The results may be due to larvae actively avoiding enemies (higher survival) and/or to the possibility that females laid higher number of eggs in the large S. aloides patches. Our results indicate that local abundance and persistence of A. viridis population may depend on the few, large S. aloides patches rather than several small patches of equal total area. 相似文献
