Glucose metabolism in peripheral blood lymphocytes from the brown trout Salmo trutta has been studied. Glucose is taken up by means of a sodium-independent saturable process (K
m=10.8 mmol·l-1), as well as by simple diffusion. Once within the cell, most of glucose is directed to lactate production through either the Embden-Meyerhof pathway or the hexose-monophosphate shunt. Rates of lactate formation are higher than rates of CO2 formation. Glutamine does not exert an effect on either glucose uptake or glucose metabolism. The present study provides information regarding the nature of energy sources for different cell types in salmonids.Abbreviations 3-OMG

It has been shown that neutral-sphingomyelinase and sphingomyelin-synthase activities are present in chromatin and they modify the sphingomyelin (SM) content. The activity of the first enzyme is stimulated and the second inhibited, when the hepatocytes enter into the S-phase after partial hepatectomy, thus suggesting that ceramide may have a pivotal role in cell proliferation. An opposite function was attributed to ceramide in hepatocytes which undergo apoptosis after lobular ligature. In order to clarify this point, a model was developed in which the same liver cells undergo proliferation followed by induced apoptosis. To this purpose, the rats were treated for 7 days with ciprofibrate and then left without treatment for 4 days. During the treatment, the peroxisome enzyme markers increase their activity and the number of proliferating cells increases, reaching a maximum after 3 days of treatment, as shown by the number of cells positive for the proliferating cell nuclear antigen. At the same time, the chromatin sphingomyelinase activity reaches the maximum, while a similar increase is not found in the cytoplasm or in the isolated nuclei. On the contrary, SM-synthase activity is depressed in chromatin, but not in the nuclei in which a peak is shown after 3 days of ciprofibrate treatment. After drug withdrawal, the hepatocytes undergo apoptosis as confirmed by the increase of Bax and tissue transglutaminase (tTGase) expression; the chromatin SM increases as a consequence of an increase of SM-synthase activity. It can be hypothesised that chromatin SM may have a role in cell duplication by influencing the chromatin structure stability. 相似文献

The chromatin phospholipid fraction is enriched in sphingomyelin content which changes during cell maturation and proliferation. Recently, we have demonstrated that the sphingomyelin variations can be due to chromatin neutral sphingomyelinase and sphingomyelin-synthase activities which differ in pH and K(m) optima from those present in nuclear membranes. The sphingomyelin can be used also as a source of phosphorylcholine for phosphatidylcholine synthesis by reverse sphingomyelin-synthase. In the present work we have studied the possible existence of reverse sphingomyelin-synthase activity in nuclear membrane and chromatin. A very low activity was detected in the homogenate, cytosol and nuclear membrane (0.93+/-0.14, 2.61+/-0.33 and 0.87+/-0.13 pmol/mg protein/min, respectively), whereas the activity present in chromatin was 37.09+/-2.05 pmol/mg protein/min. The reverse sphingomyelin-synthase decreases the intranuclear diacylglycerol pool and increases the intranuclear ceramide pool, whereas sphingomyelin-synthase has an opposite effect. The possible correlation between these enzymes is discussed. 相似文献

Modifications in Ca2+ influx may lead to profound changes in the cell activity associated with Ca2+-dependent processes, from muscle contraction and neurotransmitter release to calcium-mediated cell death. Therefore, calcium
entry into the cell requires fine regulation. In this context, understanding of the modulation of voltage-dependent Ca2+ channels seems to be critical. The modulatory process results in the enhancement or decrement of calcium influx that may
regulate the local and global cytosolic Ca2+ concentrations. Here, we summarize the well-established data on this matter described in isolated chromaffin cells by our
laboratory and others, and the new results we have obtained in a more physiological preparation: freshly isolated slices of
mouse adrenal medullae. 相似文献

The humoral innate immune response of sharpsnout seabream Diplodus puntazzo against the myxozoan Enteromyxum leei was studied. Enteromyxosis was transmitted by cohabitation and a group of uninfected fish served as control. At 5, 12, 19, 26, 40 and 55 days post-exposure (p.e.), control and recipient fish were sampled to determine the prevalence of infection and some humoral innate immune parameters (antiprotease, antitumoral and peroxidase activities). Prevalence of infection was high from day 12 p.e. and reached 100% at days 40 and 55, when intensity of infection was medium to severe. The antiprotease activity was significantly increased in E. leei-exposed fish with respect to control fish at days 12 and 19 p.e. The serum antitumoral activity was slightly lower in recipient than in control fish at all sampling times, except at 40 days p.e., though no statistically significant differences were observed. Serum peroxidases were higher in all recipient fish than in control ones, with the highest stimulation index at 40 days p.e. Within recipient fish, no differences were detected between sampling times in any of the measured activities. The possible implication of these immune factors in the high susceptibility of D. puntazzo to this enteromyxosis is discussed. 相似文献

A minor component of chromatin, the phospholipid fraction, changes during cell cycle as result of the activation of intranuclear lipid metabolism enzymes including phosphatidylcholine-dependent phospholipase C activity. It is known that this enzyme may be activated by phosphatidylcholine plasmalogen (Plg). Until now, there has been little evidences for the presence of Plgs inside the nucleus. The aim of our study is to ascertain if they are present in the nucleus and are responsible of the activation of phosphatidylcholine-dependent phospholipase C during cell proliferation and apoptosis. Therefore, we have analysed the Plg composition of the whole homogenate, cytosol, nuclei and chromatin of hepatocytes. The phosphatidylcholine-dependent phospholipase C activity was assayed using both phosphatidylcholine and plasmalogenyl-phosphatidylcholine as substrates. Our results show, for the first time, that Plgs are present in chromatin and the plasmalogenyl-phosphatidylcholine stimulates the phosphatidylcholine-dependent phospholipase C activity more than phosphatidylcholine. Finally, in order to verify the possible role of these molecules during cell proliferation and apoptosis, we used liver of rats fed with ciprofibrate which stimulates hepatocytes proliferation during the treatment and, after withdrawal, apoptosis. After 3 days of ciprofibrate treatment, the chromatin plasmalogenyl-phosphatidylcholine increases as well as the phosphatidylcholine-dependent phospholipase C activity. After drug withdrawal, when the hepatocytes undergo to apoptosis, the plasmalogenyl-phosphatidylcholine content together with phosphatidylcholine-dependent phospholipase C activity decreases. Therefore, it can be concluded that plamalogens are present in the chromatin, and probably may have a function both in regulating phosphatidylcholine dependent phospholipase C and cell cycle. 相似文献

Limited availability of endothelial tissue is a major constraint when investigating the cellular mechanisms of endothelial dysfunction in patients with metabolic and cardiovascular diseases. We propose a novel approach that combines collection of 200-1,000 endothelial cells from a superficial forearm vein or the radial artery, with reliable measurements of protein expression by quantitative immunofluorescence analysis. This method was validated against immunoblot analysis in cultured endothelial cells. Levels of vascular endothelial cell activation, oxidative stress, and nitric oxide synthase expression were measured and compared in five patients with severe chronic heart failure and in four healthy age-matched subjects. In summary, vascular endothelial biopsy coupled with measurement of protein expression by quantitative immunofluorescence analysis provides a novel approach to the study of the vascular endothelium in humans. 相似文献

The mechanisms governing the induction of IgG subclasses by T-helper cells in humans were investigated. As preliminary bulk-culture experiments had indicated that a direct B cell contact with viable T cells was an essential requirement for optimal IgG subclass production, 256 CD4+ human T cell clones were preactivated with PHA and cultured in direct contact with autologous B cells. These clones induced IgG production in a strikingly subclass-specific fashion. Moreover, the distribution of subclass-specific helper clones was very similar to the IgG subclass profile observed in serum and peripheral lymphoid tissue plasma cells (IgG1 approximately 60%, IgG2 approximately 30%, IgG3 approximately 5-10%, IgG4 less than or equal to 5%) and unlike that observed in resting B cells (which is IgG1 approximately 40% and IgG2 approximately 50%). It would, therefore, seem that a predominance of T cells capable of delivering IgG1-specific, as opposed to IgG2-specific, help is an essential factor for the preferential induction of IgG1 antibodies during B cell proliferation and differentiation. There was no relationship between IL2, IL4, IL6, and IFN-gamma secreted by the T-helper clones and their IgG subclass induction patterns. In addition, only a few supernatants were able to reproduce the helper effects of the clones themselves. Therefore, direct contact of B cells with helper clones is crucial for IgG-subclass production in humans. 相似文献
