Ischemia-Induced Alterations in Lipid Metabolism of the Gerbil Cerebral Cortex: I. Changes in Free Fatty Acid Liberation 总被引:6,自引:4,他引:2
Abstract: Does the impaired lipid metabolism during nonlethal transient ischemia truly recover within a few hours after recirculation? In an attempt to answer this question, we first investigated the time course of the changes in the amount and composition of free fatty acids (FFAs) accumulated during 5-min ischemia and after various postischemic recirculation durations (3 min, 1 h, 24 h, 3 days, and 6 days) in the gerbil cerebral cortex. Then those of FFAs liberated in response to the second 5-min ischemia at various recirculation intervals (3 min, 1 h, 3 days, and 6 days) following the initial one were also measured to evaluate the changes in the cellular response. The former study disclosed that the FFA levels transiently returned to the control levels at 1-h recirculation, increased again a few days after the onset of recirculation, followed by the final return to the control levels after 6-day recirculation. The latter study disclosed that the cellular response to the second ischemia was quite different from that to the initial one even after 6-day recirculation, suggesting that membrane lipid metabolism had not yet been recovered even at such a late period. We discuss the significance of the alterations in lipid metabolism. 相似文献

Betacellulin (BTC) has been shown to have a role in the differentiation and proliferation of beta-cells both in vitro and in vivo. We administered a human betacellulin (hBTC) adenovirus vector to male ICR mice via retrograde pancreatic duct injection. As a control, we administered a beta-galactosidase adenovirus vector. In the mice, hBTC protein was mainly overexpressed by pancreatic duct cells. On immunohistochemical analysis, we observed features of beta-cell neogenesis as newly formed insulin-positive cells in the duct cell lining or islet-like cell clusters (ICCs) closely associated with the ducts. The BrdU labeling index of beta-cells was also increased by the betacellulin vector compared with that of control mice. These results indicate that hBTC gene transduction into adult pancreatic duct cells promoted beta-cell differentiation (mainly from duct cells) and proliferation of pre-existing beta-cells, resulting in an increase of the beta-cell mass that improved glucose tolerance in diabetic mice. 相似文献

The Sleeping Beauty (SB) transposon system has generated many transposon-insertional mutant mouse lines, some of which have resulted in embryonic lethality when bred to homozygosity. Here we report one such insertion mapped to the mouse actin-related protein complex subunit 3 gene (Arpc3). Arpc3 is a component of the Arp2/3 complex, which plays a major role in actin nucleation with Y-shaped branching from the mother actin filament in response to migration signaling. Arpc3 transposon-inserted mutants developed only to the blastocyst stage. In vitro blastocyst culture of Arpc3 mutants exhibited severe spreading impairment of trophoblasts. This phenotype was also observed in compound heterozygotes generated using conventional gene-targeted and transposon-inserted alleles. Arpc3-deficient mutants were shown to lack actin-rich structures in the spreading trophoblast. Electron microscopic analysis demonstrated the lack of mesh-like structures at the cell periphery, suggesting a role of Arpc3 in Y-shaped branching formation. These data indicate the importance of Arpc3 in the Arp2/3 complex for trophoblast outgrowth and suggest that Arpc3 may be indispensable for implantation. 相似文献

Hepatic sinusoid, the smallest vessel in the liver, plays important roles in hepatic microcirculation. Although the structure of the hepatic sinusoids affects diverse functions of the liver, little is known about morphological alterations in the sinusoids under pathological conditions. In this study, we show that the structure of hepatic sinusoids can be identified three-dimensionally in normal and carbon tetrachloride-injured mouse liver, using the absorption mode of synchrotron radiation micro-computed tomography. We observed that the hepatic sinusoidal structure on tomographic slice images was similar to that on histological images of normal and acutely injured mice. Moreover, centrilobular necrosis and structural alterations of the sinusoids in the necrotic region were detectable on tomographic slice and volume-rendered images of the acutely injured mice. Furthermore, quantitative analyses on 3D volume-rendered images of the injured sinusoid revealed decrease in the volume of the sinusoid and connectivity of the sinusoidal network. Our results suggest that the use of synchrotron radiation micro-computed tomography may improve our understanding of the pathogenesis of hepatic diseases by detecting the hepatic sinusoids and their alterations in three-dimensional structures of the damaged liver. 相似文献
