Comparison of Soil Organic Matter in Created, Restored and Paired Natural Wetlands in North Carolina 总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1
Soil organic matter (SOM) content is a key indicator of soil quality and is correlated to a number of important soil processes
that occur in wetlands such as respiration, denitrification, and phosphorus sorption. To better understand the differences
in the SOM content of created (CW), restored (RW), and paired natural wetlands (NWs), 11 CW/RW-NW pairs were sampled in North
Carolina. The site pairs spanned a range of hydrogeomorphic (HGM) subclasses common in the Coastal Plain. The following null
hypotheses were tested: (1) SOM content of paired CW/RWs and NWs are similar; (2) SOM content of wetlands across different
HGM subclasses is similar; and (3) interactions between wetland status (CW/RW vs. NW) and hydrogeomorphic subclass are similar.
The first null hypothesis was rejected as CW/RWs had significantly lower mean SOM (11.8 ± 3.9%) than their paired NWs (28.98
± 8.0%) on average and at 10 out of the 11 individual sites. The second and third null hypotheses were also rejected as CW/RWs
and NWs in the non-riverine organic soil flat subclass had significantly higher mean SOM content (31.08 ± 14.2%) than the
other three subclasses (8.18 ± 2.5, 11.18 ± 8.2, and 10.38 ± 4.2%). Individual sites within this fourth subclass also had
significantly different SOM content. This indicated that it would be inappropriate to include the organic soil flat subclass
with either the riverine or non-riverine mineral soil flat subclasses when considering restoration guidelines. These results
also suggested that if there is a choice in mitigation options between restoration or creation, wetlands should be restored
rather than created, especially those in the non-riverine organic soil flat subclass. 相似文献

We compared hydrology, soils, and water quality of an agricultural field (AG), a two-year-old restored wetland (RW), and two reference ecosystems (a non-riverine swamp forest (NRSF) and a high pocosin forest (POC)) located at the Barra Farms Regional Wetland Mitigation Bank, a Carolina bay complex in Cumberland County, North Carolina. Our main objectives were to: 1) determine if the RW exhibited hydrology comparable to a reference ecosystem, 2) characterize the soils of the AG, RW, and reference ecosystems, and 3) assess differences in water quality in the surface outflow from the AG, RW, and reference ecosystems. Water table data indicated that the hydrology of the RW has been successfully reestablished as the hydroperiod of the RW closely matched that of the NRSF in 1998 and 1999. Jurisdictional hydrologic success criterion was also met by the RW in both years. To characterize soil properties, soil cores from each ecosystem were analyzed for bulk density (Db), total carbon (Ct), nitrogen (Nt), and phosphorus (Pt), extractable phosphate (PO4w), nitrogen (Nex), and cations (Caex, Mgex, Kex, Naex), as well as pH. Bulk density, Pt, Caex, Mgex, and pH were greatly elevated in the AG and RW compared to the reference ecosystems. Water quality monitoring consisted of measuring soluble reactive phosphorus (SRP), total phosphorus (TP), nitrate + nitrite (NOX), and total nitrogen (TN) concentrations in surface water from the AG, RW, and reference outflows. Outflow concentrations of SRP, TP, and NOX were highest and most variable in the AG, while TN was highest in the reference. This study suggested that while restoration of wetland hydrology has been successful in the short term, alteration of wetland soil properties by agriculture was so intense, that changes due to restoration were not apparent for most soil parameters. Restoration also appeared to provide water quality benefits, as outflow concentrations of SRP, TP, NOX, and TN were lower in the RW than the AG. 相似文献

Osteosarcoma is the commonest malignant tumour of the bones. The presence of micrometastases at the time of primary diagnosis
is associated with poor prognosis. Despite developments in surgery and aggressive chemotherapy, about 50% of the patients
still succumb to the disease. Thus, there is a need to develop alternative treatment modalities. One such strategy is to use
antibodies with improved effector functions. The two monoclonal antibodies, TP-1 and TP-3, recognize a tumour-associated antigen
on human osteosarcoma cells. In the present study, we describe the cloning of the TP-1 variable genes, and the production
of complete chimeric mouse/human monoclonal antibodies. Constructs containing the constant genes from human IgG1, IgG3 or
a mutant IgG3 with a shortened hinge region, called m15, were expressed in the mouse myeloma cell line, NS0. The m15 mutant
has been shown to be very potent in triggering complement-mediated lysis. Our goal was to investigate whether this mutant
could overcome the complement protection on human osteosarcoma cells, which is generally present on all human cells. We found
that the target cells expressed several membrane-bound complement inhibitors, and that masking of these inhibitors rendered
the cells sensitive to lysis. The m15 mutant exhibited greater lytic activity than both IgG3 and IgG1, although it could not
cause extensive killing of the target cells alone.

Background
CD37 is an internalizing B-cell antigen expressed on Non-Hodgkin lymphoma (NHL) and chronic lymphocytic leukemia cells (CLL). The anti-CD37 monoclonal antibody HH1 was conjugated to the bifunctional chelator p-SCN-Bn-DOTA and labelled with the beta-particle emitting radionuclide 177Lu creating the radio-immunoconjugate (RIC) 177Lu-DOTA-HH1 (177Lu-HH1, trade name Betalutin). The present toxicity study was performed prior to initiation of clinical studieswith 177Lu-HH1.Methodology/Principal Findings
Nude mice with or without tumor xenografts were treated with 50 to 1000 MBq/kg 177Lu- HH1 and followed for clinical signs of toxicity up to ten months. Acute, life threatening bone marrow toxicity was observed in animals receiving 800 and 1000 MBq/kg 177Lu-HH1. Significant changes in serum concentrations of liver enzymes were evident for treatment with 1000 MBq/kg 177Lu-HH1. Lymphoid depletion, liver necrosis and atrophy, and interstitial cell hyperplasia of the ovaries were also observed for mice in this dose group.Conclusions/Significance
177Lu-DOTA-HH1 was well tolerated at dosages about 10 times above those considered relevant for radioimmunotherapy in patients with B-cell derived malignancies.The toxicity profile was as expected for RICs. Our experimental results have paved the way for clinical evaluation of 177Lu-HH1 in NHL patients. 相似文献8.

We have studied phospholipase D (PLD) activation in relation to protein kinase C (PKC) and the involvement of PLD in extracellularly regulated kinase 1 (MAPK) (ERK1) activation and c-fos mRNA expression in C3H/10T1/2 (Cl8) fibroblasts. In these cells, the PLD activity was significantly increased by porcine platelet-derived growth factor (PDGF-BB), phorbol 12-myristate 13-acetate (PMA), and epidermal growth factor (EGF). PLD activation by PDGF-BB and PMA, but not EGF, was inhibited in Cl8 cells expressing the HAbetaC2-1 peptide (Cl8 HAbetaC2-1 cells), with a sequence (betaC2-1) shown to bind receptor for activated C kinase 1 (RACK1) and inhibit c-PKC-mediated cell functions [Science 268 (1995) 247]. A role of alpha-PKC in PLD activation is further underscored by co-immunoprecipitation of alpha-PKC with PLD1 and PLD2 in non-stimulated as well as PMA- and PDGF-BB-stimulated Cl8 cells. However, only PKC in PLD1 precipitates was activated by these agonists, while the PKC in the PLD2 precipitates was constitutively activated. The c-fos mRNA levels in Cl8 cells increased more than 30-fold in response to either PDGF-BB, EGF, or PMA. Approximately 60% inhibition of this increase in c-fos mRNA levels was observed in Cl8 HAbetaC2-1 cells. Formation of phosphatidylbutanol (PtdBut) at the expense of phosphatidic acid (PtdH) in the presence of n-butanol inhibited ERK1 activation and c-fos mRNA expression in PDGF-BB-treated Cl8 cells. ERK activation by PMA was unaffected by n-butanol in Cl8 cells but almost abolished by n-butanol in Cl8 HAbetaC2-1 cells, showing that ERK activation by PMA is heavily dependent on PKC and PLD1. In contrast, ERK activation by EGF in both cell types was not sensitive to n-butanol. These results indicate (1) a role of a functional interaction between the RACK1 scaffolding protein and a alphaPKC-PLD complex for achieving full PLD activity in PDGF-BB- and PMA-stimulated Cl8 cells; (2) PLD-mediated PtdH formation is needed for optimal ERK1 activation by PDGF-BB and maximal increase in c-fos mRNA expression. These findings place PLD as an important component in PDGF-BB- and PMA-stimulated intracellular signalling leading to gene activation in Cl8 cells, while EGF does not require PLD. 相似文献

We have shown that 12-O-tetradecanoylphorbol 13-acetate (TPA) increases protein kinase C (PKC)-mediated choline transport, incorporation of choline into phosphatidylcholine (PtdCho) and PtdCho degradation by phospholipase D (PLD) in C3H10T1/2 Cl 8 cells. Dual prelabeling experiment using [3H]/[14C]choline indicated that intracellular choline generated from the PLD reaction was not directly recycled to PtdCho synthesis within the cell, and that a large fraction of the choline was transported out of the TPA-treated cells. In contrast, medium derived choline was preferably channeled to PtdCho synthesis. These results indicate that in TPA-treated cells, the choline derived from the PKC-mediated increased PLD activity and the choline newly taken up by the cell behave as two distinctly different metabolic pools. 相似文献

The C3H/10T1/2 Cl8 HAbetaC2-1 cells used in this study express a peptide with a sequence shown to bind receptor for activated C-kinase (RACK1) and inhibit cPKC-mediated cell functions. Phorbol myristoyl acetate (PMA) strongly stimulated phosphatidylcholine (PtdCho)-specific phospholipase D (PLD) activity in the C3H/10T1/2 Cl8 parental cell line, but not in Cl8 HAbetaC2-1 cells, indicating that full PLD activity in PMA-treated Cl8 cells is dependent on a functional interaction of alpha/betaPKC with RACK1. In contrast, the PMA-stimulated uptake of choline and its subsequent incorporation into PtdCho, were not inhibited in Cl8 HAbetaC2-1 cells as compared to Cl8 cells, indicating a RACK1-independent but PKC-mediated process. Increased incorporation of labelled choline into PtdCho upon PMA treatment was not associated with changes of either CDP-choline: 1,2-diacylglycerol cholinephosphotransferase activity or the CTP:phosphocholine cytidylyltransferase distribution between cytosol and membrane fractions in Cl8 and Cl8 HAbetaC2-1 cells. The major effect of PMA on the PtdCho synthesis in C3H/10T1/2 fibroblasts was to increase the cellular uptake of choline. As a supporting experiment, we inhibited PMA-stimulated PtdH formation by PLD, and also putatively PtdH-derived DAG, in Cl8 cells with 1-butanol. Butanol did not influence the incorporation of [(14)C]choline into PtdCho. The present study shows: (1) PMA-stimulated PLD activity is dependent on a functional interaction between alpha/betaPKC and RACK1 in C3H/10T1/2 Cl8 fibroblasts; and (2) inhibition of PLD activity and PtdH formation did not reduce the cellular uptake and incorporation of labelled choline into PtdCho, indicating that these processes are not directly regulated by PtdCho-PLD activity in PMA-treated C3H/10T1/2 Cl8 fibroblasts. 相似文献
