The traditional microscope, together with the “routine” hematoxylin and eosin (H & E) stain, remains the “gold standard” for diagnosis of cancer and other diseases; remarkably, it and the majority of associated biological stains are more than 150 years old. Immunohistochemistry has added to the repertoire of “stains” available. Because of the need for specific identification and even measurement of “biomarkers,” immunohistochemistry has increased the demand for consistency of performance and interpretation of staining results. Rapid advances in the capabilities of digital imaging hardware and software now offer a realistic route to improved reproducibility, accuracy and quantification by utilizing whole slide digital images for diagnosis, education and research. There also are potential efficiencies in work flow and the promise of powerful new analytical methods; however, there also are challenges with respect to validation of the quality and fidelity of digital images, including the standard H & E stain, so that diagnostic performance by pathologists is not compromised when they rely on whole slide images instead of traditional stained tissues on glass slides. 相似文献

Two fatty acyl amidases have been partially purified from the slime mold, Dictyostelium discoideum. Their action on lipopolysaccharide derivatives, especially Compound I, has been studied. Amidase I removes specifically the beta-hydroxymyristyl group, which is present on the amino group adjacent to the C-1 phosphate. The product, Compound V, is then a substrate for Amidase II, which removes the remaining beta-hydroxymyristyl group from the amino group in the distal glucosamine ring to give Compound VI. Compound I itself is resistant to Amidase II. Thus, the two enzymes show a high degree of structural specificity. The structure of lipopolysaccharide from the E. coli K-12 mutant is concluded in the light of studies reported in this and the accompanying papers, and this structure is discussed in relation to other bacterial lipopolysaccharides. 相似文献

Background
Parathyroid hormone (PTH) and PTH-related peptide (PTHrP) belong to a family of endocrine factors that share a highly conserved N-terminal region (amino acids 1-34) and play key roles in calcium homeostasis, bone formation and skeletal development. Recently, PTH-like peptide (PTH-L) was identified in teleost fish raising questions about the evolution of these proteins. Although PTH and PTHrP have been intensively studied in mammals their function in other vertebrates is poorly documented. Amphibians and birds occupy unique phylogenetic positions, the former at the transition of aquatic to terrestrial life and the latter at the transition to homeothermy. Moreover, both organisms have characteristics indicative of a complex system in calcium regulation. This study investigated PTH family evolution in vertebrates with special emphasis on Xenopus and chicken. 相似文献14.

Plains bristlegrass (Setaria macrostachya Kunth) is a native grass with forage value. However, due to the lack of grazing management practices, populations and thus genetic diversity, have been reduced. Morphological and genetic variability were analyzed on 44 populations of plains bristlegrass in the State of Chihuahua. Plants were transplanted in a common area under natural conditions. Two years later, morphological characterization was evaluated measuring nine variables, and genetic variability using AFLP molecular markers. The principal components analysis (PC) showed that the three first principal components explained 73.74% of the variation. The variables with the greatest contribution to the variance in PC1 were plant height and inflorescence length; in CP2, tiller number and leaf width; and in PC3, tiller thickness. Application of four pairs of primers, presented 186 total bands, from which 87.10% showed polymorphism and 12.90% monomorphism. The combination of EcoRI-AGG MseI-CAG primers detected the highest percentage (93%) of polymorphism with 40 polymorphic bands. The cluster analysis and Dice coefficient indicated that populations clump into two groups. The wide genetic variability and morphological characteristics detected among populations represent the basis for the selection of populations that could be used with different purposes in the rehabilitation of ecosystems. In addition, this study will allow establishment of in situ conservation strategies. 相似文献

Cortical and hippocampal hypersynchrony of neuronal networks seems to be an early event in Alzheimer’s disease pathogenesis. Many mouse models of the disease also present neuronal network hypersynchrony, as evidenced by higher susceptibility to pharmacologically-induced seizures, electroencephalographic seizures accompanied by spontaneous interictal spikes and expression of markers of chronic seizures such as neuropeptide Y ectopic expression in mossy fibers. This network hypersynchrony is thought to contribute to memory deficits, but whether it precedes the onset of memory deficits or not in mouse models remains unknown. The earliest memory impairments in the Tg2576 mouse model of Alzheimer’s disease have been observed at 3 months of age. We thus assessed network hypersynchrony in Tg2576 and non-transgenic male mice at 1.5, 3 and 6 months of age. As soon as 1.5 months of age, Tg2576 mice presented higher seizure susceptibility to systemic injection of a GABAA receptor antagonist. They also displayed spontaneous interictal spikes on EEG recordings. Some Tg2576 mice presented hippocampal ectopic expression of neuropeptide Y which incidence seems to increase with age among the Tg2576 population. Our data reveal that network hypersynchrony appears very early in Tg2576 mice, before any demonstrated memory impairments. 相似文献

Overexpression of AtHMA4 enhances root-to-shoot translocation of zinc and cadmium and plant metal tolerance 总被引:7,自引:0,他引:7

AtHMA4 is an Arabidopsis thaliana P1B-ATPase which transports Zn and Cd. Here, we demonstrate that AtHMA4 is localized at the plasma membrane and expressed in tissues surrounding the root vascular vessels. The ectopic overexpression of AtHMA4 improved the root growth in the presence of toxic concentrations of Zn, Cd and Co. A null mutant exhibited a lower translocation of Zn and Cd from the roots to shoot. In contrast, the AtHMA4 overexpressing lines displayed an increase in the zinc and cadmium shoot content. Altogether, these results strongly indicate that AtHMA4 plays a role in metal loading in the xylem. 相似文献

Experiments were conducted to determine the effects of novel anti-neoplastic isochalcones (DJ compounds), on cyclooxyegenase 1 and 2 (COX-1 and COX-2) enzyme expression in androgen receptor dependent human prostate cancer cell line LNCaP. Results from Western blot analysis and cell flow cytometry showed that DJ52 and DJ53 decreased the steady state levels of COX-1 and COX-2 protein levels in a dose dependent manner. In addition, DJ52 and DJ53 decreased the levels of epidermal growth factor (EGF) in LNCaP cells. In this study, we report that novel isochalcones decreased COX-1, COX-2 and EGF levels as well as LNCaP cellular growth in a dose responsive manner. Our findings indicate that relative decreases in COX-1, COX-2 and EGF expressions might serve as indicators of tumor growth inhibition in prostate neoplasms. 相似文献

Cytotoxic T lymphocytes secrete a pore-forming cytolysin, perforin, that damages membranes of target cells. They also ligate Fas receptors on target cells and provoke apoptotic death. A20 (B lymphoma) and P815 (mastocytoma) cell lines were examined for their susceptibility to perforin-mediated lysis and to Fas-induced apoptosis after blockade of the cell cycle at the G1/S interface. Cells were arrested at the G1/S interface by inhibition of DNA synthesis with thymidine or aphidicolin. Subsequently, the treated cells were incubated either with CTL cytotoxic granules or the Fas-specific monoclonal antibody Jo-2. We show that arrest of the cell cycle at the G1/S interface markedly reduced the susceptibility of target cells to perforin-mediated lysis. In contrast, growth arrest with thymidine or aphidicolin increased susceptibility of A20 and P815 cells to Fas-mediated apoptosis. Susceptibility to lysis by intact CTLs was not affected significantly by blockade of target cells with aphidicolin or thymidine. When cells surviving exposure to perforin-containing granules were isolated on Ficoll density gradients and cell-cycle profiles were examined by flow cytometry, the ratio of G1 to G2cells increased among the survivors exposed to granules in contrast to controls incubated with buffer alone. The data suggest that cells in G1 phase of the cell cycle are less susceptible to the perforin pathway than cells in G2and S phases but are more susceptible to the Fas pathway. J. Cell.
