The effect of uroguanylin (UGN) on K+ and H+ secretion in the renal tubules of the rat kidney was studied using in vivo stationary microperfusion. For the study of K+ secretion, a tubule was punctured to inject a column of FDC-green-colored Ringer's solution with 0.5 mmol KCl/L+/-10(-6) mol UGN/L, and oil was used to block fluid flow. K+ activity and transepithelial potential differences (PD) were measured with double microelectrodes (K+ ion-selective resin vs. reference) in the distal tubules of the same nephron. During perfusion, K+ activity rose exponentially, from 0.5 mmol/L to stationary concentration, allowing for the calculation of K+ secretion (JK). JK increased from 0.63+/-0.06 nmol.cm-2.s-1 in the control group to 0.85+/-0.06 in the UGN group (p<0.01). PD was -51.0+/-5.3 mV in the control group and -50.3+/-4.98 mV in the UGN group. In the presence of 10(-7) mol iberiotoxin/L, the UGN effect was abolished: JK was 0.37+/-0.038 nmol.cm-2.s-1 in the absence of, and 0.38+/-0.025 in the presence of, UGN, indicating its action on maxi-K channels. In another series of experiments, renal tubule acidification was studied, using a similar method: proximal and distal tubules were perfused with solutions containing 25 mmol NaHCO3/L. Acidification half-time was increased both in proximal and distal segments and, as a consequence, bicarbonate reabsorption decreased in the presence of UGN (in proximal tubules, from 2.40+/-0.26 to 1.56+/-0.21 nmol.cm-2.s-1). When the Na+/H+ exchanger was inhibited by 10(-4) mol hexamethylene amiloride (HMA)/L, the control and UGN groups were not significantly different. In the late distal tubule, after HMA, UGN significantly reduced JHCO3-, indicating an effect of UGN on H+-ATPase. These data show that UGN stimulated JK+ by acting on maxi-K channels, and decreased JHCO3- by acting on NHE3 in proximal and H+-ATPase in distal tubules. 相似文献

We investigated the diet, feeding strategy, size-related dietary shifts and prey preferences of South American Hoplias aff. malabaricus in an internationally recognized but poorly investigated Biosphere Reserve in southern Brazil. Fish were caught between April
2008 and March 2009 using a variety of fishing gear. The analysis of 113 individuals revealed a diet essentially composed
of fish (16 species), particularly characid species (9). The diet became more diverse and contained larger fish prey with
increasing predator size. Feeding strategy analysis revealed a clear specialization towards the consumption of fish. However,
individuals did not prey upon particular prey species, instead opportunistically consuming many different fish species, which
could be a strategy to avoid intraspecific competition. Characid species were the most important prey, followed by poecillids.
A multi-gear sampling of the ichthyofauna revealed that these prey species were the most abundant (Characidae: 61.3%, Poeciliidae
18.8%) of the 14 fish families occurring at the study site, suggesting that the predator exploits the most abundant fish resources
available rather than the rarer fish prey. These findings suggest that potential top-down controls exerted by H. aff. malabaricus in this system follow specific food web pathways that seem to be mediated by the abundance of prey resources. 相似文献

Food chain models have dominated empirical studies of trophic interactions in the past decades, and have lead to important
insights into the factors that control ecological communities. Despite the importance of food chain models in instigating
ecological investigations, many empirical studies still show a strong deviation from the dynamics that food chain models predict.
We present a theoretical framework that explains some of the discrepancies by showing that trophic interactions are likely
to be strongly influenced by the spatial configuration of consumers and their resources. Differences in the spatial scale
at which consumers and their resources function lead to uncoupling of the population dynamics of the interacting species,
and may explain overexploitation and depletion of resource populations. We discuss how changed land use, likely the most prominent
future stress on natural systems, may affect food web dynamics by interfering with the scale of interaction between consumers
and their resource. 相似文献

Carboxymethyl cellulase activities were evaluated in eight strains of Frankia from diverse host specificity groups and geographical origins. Cellulase activity was detected in culture supernatants of all strains in the absence of CMC (Carboxymethylcellulose) as an inducer using both double-layer plate and reducing sugar assays, indicating a constitutive production of CM-cellulases by Frankia. CM-cellulase isoenzyme profiles were visualized using activity gel electrophoresis of concentrated culture supernatants. Different electrophoretic profiles were observed among the eight strains tested, which correlate with the host specificity and taxonomic grouping of Frankia. 相似文献

In the course of a project carried out in two regions of Spain, Castilla y León and Andalucía, aiming to find useful biofertilizers for staple grain-legumes, an efficient rhizobia nodulating chickpea (termed as C-2/2) and a powerful in vitro phosphate-solubilizing bacterial strain (termed as PS06) were isolated. Analyses of their 16S rDNA sequence indicated that they belong to the bacterial species Mesorhizobium ciceri and Pseudomonas jessenii, respectively. Greenhouse and field experiments were carried out in order to test the effect of single and dual inoculations on chickpea (ecotype ILC-482) growth. Under greenhouse conditions, plants inoculated with Mesorhizobium ciceri C-2/2 alone had the highest shoot dry weight. The inoculation treatment with P. jessenii PS06 yielded a shoot dry weight 14% greater than the uninoculated control treatment, but it was not correlated with shoot P contents. However, the co-inoculation of C-2/2 with PS06 resulted in a decrease in shoot dry weight with respect to the inoculation with C-2/2 alone. Under field conditions, plants inoculated with M. ciceri C-2/2, in single or dual inoculation, produced higher nodule fresh weight, nodule number and shoot N content than the other treatments. Inoculation with P. jessenii PS06 had no significant effect on plant growth. However, the co-inoculation treatment ranked the highest in seed yield (52% greater than the uninoculated control treatment) and nodule fresh weight. These data suggest that P. jessenii PS06 can act synergistically with M. ciceri C-2/2 in promoting chickpea growth. The contrasting results obtained between greenhouse and field experiments are discussed. 相似文献

Cholangiocarcinoma represents 10% of primary liver malignancies and accounts for less than 3% of all gastrointestinal malignant tumors, with an enormous geographical variation. This neoplasia can arise from the biliary tract epithelium or hepatic progenitor cells. Depending on the anatomic localization, it is classified into three subtypes: intrahepatic, perihilar and distal. This fact is one of the main difficulties, because there are many studies that indistinctly include the results in the management of these different types of cholangiocarcinoma, without differentiating its location and even including gallbladder cancer.There are many controversial points in epidemiology, liver transplantation as a treatment, limitations of different results by group and type of treatment, histological testing and chemotherapy. This is a narrative review about topics in cholangiocarcinoma. This article is part of a Special Issue entitled: Cholangiocytes in Health and Disease edited by Jesus Banales, Marco Marzioni, Nicholas LaRusso and Peter Jansen. 相似文献

During a screening of phosphate solubilizing bacteria (PSB) in agricultural soils, two strains, IH9 and OCI1, were isolated from the rhizosphere of grasses in Spain, and they showed a high ability to solubilize phosphate in vitro. Inoculation experiments in chickpea and barley were conducted with both strains and the results demonstrated their ability to promote plant growth. The 16S rRNA gene sequences of these strains were nearly identical to each other and to those of Acinetobacter calcoaceticus DSM 30006T, as well as the strain CIP 70.29 representing genomospecies 3. Their phenotypic characteristics also coincided with those of strains forming the A. calcoaceticus–baumannii complex. They differed from A. calcoaceticus in the utilization of l-tartrate as a carbon source and from genomospecies 3 in the use of d-asparagine as a carbon source. The 16S–23S intergenic spacer (ITS) sequences of the two isolates showed nearly 98% identities to those of A. calcoaceticus, confirming that they belong to this phylogenetic group. However, the isolates appeared as a separate branch from the A. calcoaceticus sequences, indicating their molecular separation from other A. calcoaceticus strains. The analysis of three housekeeping genes, recA, rpoD and gyrB, confirmed that IH9 and OCI1 form a distinct lineage within A. calcoaceticus. These results were congruent with those from DNA–DNA hybridization, indicating that strains IH9 and OCI1 constitute a new genomovar for which we propose the name A. calcoaceticus genomovar rhizosphaerae. 相似文献

The guanylin family of peptides has 3 subclasses of peptides containing either 3 intramolecular disulfide bonds found in bacterial heat-stable enterotoxins (ST), or 2 disulfides observed in guanylin and uroguanylin, or a single disulfide exemplified by lymphoguanylin. These peptides bind to and activate cell-surface receptors that have intrinsic guanylate cyclase (GC) activity. These hormones are synthesized in the intestine and released both luminally and into the circulation, and are also produced within the kidney. Stimulation of renal target cells by guanylin peptides in vivo or ex vivo elicits a long-lived diuresis, natriuresis, and kaliuresis by both cGMP-dependent and independent mechanisms. Uroguanylin may act as a hormone in a novel endocrine axis linking the digestive system and kidney as well as a paracrine system intrarenally to increase sodium excretion in the postprandial period. This highly integrated and redundant mechanism allows the organism to maintain sodium balance by eliminating excess sodium in the urine. In addition, small concentrations of the atrial natriuretic peptide (ANP) can synergize with low concentrations of both guanylin or uroguanylin, which do not induce natriuresis per se, to promote significant natriuresis. Interestingly, the activation of the particulate guanylate cyclase receptors by natriuretic peptides can promote relaxation of animal and human penile erectile tissue and increase intracavernosal pressure to induce penile erection. These peptides can be prototypes for new drugs to treat erectile dysfunction, especially in patients with endothelial and nitrergic dysfunction, such as in diabetes. 相似文献
