Malonyl-CoA, the inhibitor of carnitine palmitoyl transferase I, has been examined in this study in the muscle and liver of diabetic rats. Male Sprague-Dawley rats were rendered diabetic with streptozotocin (6 mg/100 g body wt). The gastrocnemius/plantaris muscles and liver samples were frozen at liquid nitrogen temperature. Muscle malonyl-CoA was 1.8 +/- 0.2 pmol/mg in control rats and 1.5 +/- 0.2 pmol/mg in the diabetic rats. This difference was not statistically significant. Liver malonyl-CoA of control rats was 8.6 +/- 0.8 pmol/mg, in comparison to 4.3 +/- 0.6 pmol/mg in diabetic rats. In the liver, high concentrations of malonyl-CoA inhibit fatty acid oxidation and ketogenesis. Failure of malonyl-CoA to decline in muscle in the diabetic may be responsible in part for the diversion of fatty acids to the liver, thereby enhancing hepatic fatty acid oxidation and ketogenesis. 相似文献

This study aimed to investigate the association among genetic variants of the complement pathway CFB R32Q (rs641153), C3 R102G (rs2230199), and CFH (rs1410996) with age-related macular degeneration (AMD) in a sample of the Brazilian population. In a case-control study, 484 AMD patients were classified according to the clinical age-related maculopathy grading system (CARMS) and compared to 479 unrelated controls. The genetic variants rs1410996 of complement H (CFH), rs641153 of complement factor B (CFB), and rs2230199 of complement 3 (C3) were evaluated through polymerase chain reaction (PCR) and direct sequencing. The associations between single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) and AMD, adjusted by age, were assessed by using logistic regression models. A statistically significant association was observed between AMD risk and rs2230199 variant with an OR of 2.01 (P = 0.0002) for CG individuals compared to CC individuals. Regarding the comparison of advanced AMD versus the control group, the OR was 2.12 (P = 0.0036) for GG versus AA genotypes for rs1410996 variant. Similarly, the OR for rs2230199 polymorphism was 2.3034 (P = 5.47e-05) when comparing CG individuals to CC carriers. In contrast, the rs641153 variant showed a significant protective effect against advanced AMD for GA versus GG genotype (OR = 0.4406; P = 0.0019). When comparing wet AMD versus controls, a significant association was detected for rs1410996 variant (OR = 2.16; P = 0.0039) comparing carriers of the homozygous GG versus AA genotype, as well as in the comparisons of GG (OR = 3.0713; P = 0.0046) and CG genotypes (OR = 2.2249; P = 0.0002) versus CC genotype for rs2230199 variant, respectively. The rs641153 variant granted a significant protective effect against wet AMD for GA versus GG genotypes (OR = 0.4601; P = 0.0044). Our study confirmed the risk association between rs2230199 and rs1410996 variants and AMD, and the protective role against AMD for rs641153 variant. 相似文献

Introduction
Monocytes/macrophages accumulate in the rheumatoid (RA) synovium where they play a central role in inflammation and joint destruction. Identification of molecules involved in their accumulation and differentiation is important to inform therapeutic strategies. This study investigated the expression and function of chemokine receptor CCR9 in the peripheral blood (PB) and synovium of RA, non-RA patients and healthy volunteers. 相似文献5.

Malonyl-CoA, the inhibitor of carnitine acyltransferase I, is an important regulator of fatty acid oxidation and ketogenesis in the liver. Muscle carnitine acyltransferase I has previously been reported to be more sensitive to malonyl-CoA inhibition than is liver carnitine acyltransferase I. Fluctuations in malonyl-CoA concentration may therefore be important in regulating the rate of fatty acid oxidation in muscle during exercise. Male rats were anesthetized (pentobarbital via venous catheters) at rest or after 30 min of treadmill exercise (21 m/min, 15% grade). The gastrocnemius/plantaris muscles were frozen at liquid N2 temperature. Muscle malonyl-CoA decreased from 1.66 +/- 0.17 to 0.60 +/- 0.05 nmol/g during the exercise. This change was accompanied by a 31% increase in cAMP in the muscle. The decline in malonyl-CoA occurred before muscle glycogen depletion and before onset of hypoglycemia. Plasma catecholamines, corticosterone, and free fatty acids were all significantly increased during the exercise. This exercise-induced decrease in malonyl-CoA may be important for allowing the increase in muscle fatty acid oxidation during exercise. 相似文献

Three antibodies that recognize distinct fucose epitopes were used to study
fucosylation during growth and development of Dictyostelium discoideum.
mAb83.5 is known to recognize an undefined "fucose epitope" on several
proteins with serine-rich domains, while mAb CAB4, and a component of
anti-horse-radish peroxidase, specifically recognize Fucalpha1,6GlcNAc and
Fucalpha1,3GlcNAc residues respectively in the core of N-linked
oligosaccharides. We show that mAb 83.5 defines a new type of
O-glycosylation. Serine-containing peptides incubated with GDPbeta[3H]Fuc
and microsomes formed two fucosylated products. A neutral product
accounting for 30% of the label did not react with the antibody, while the
rest of the label was incorporated into a charged product which contained
all the mAb83.5 reactive material. beta- Elimination of the labeled peptide
or endogenous products produced [3H]Fuc-1-P, indicating phosphodiester
linkage to serine. Fucbeta-1-P and GDP-betaFuc at 100 microM blocked
mAb83.5 binding to endogenous and peptide products, but their alpha-linked
anomers did not. Electrospray ionization mass spectra of the neutral and
anionic labeled products showed major peaks of mass units corresponding to
O-Fuc-Ser peptide and O-Fuc-phospho-Ser peptide, respectively. The activity
of Fuc- phosphotransferase exactly paralleled the accumulation of reactive
glycans during growth and development. The expressions of N-glycan core
Fucalpha1,6GlcNAc and Fucalpha1,3GlcNAc and their respective fucosyl
transferase activities were also synchronous, but their developmental
regulation differed from one another. Fucalpha1, 6GlcNAc was expressed
maximally during growth but declined during development. In contrast core
Fucalpha1,3GlcNAc epitopes were expressed almost exclusively during
development. These findings provide direct evidence for a novel type of
O-phosphofucosylation, demonstrate the existence of an O- fucosyl
transferase, and identify two different types of core fucosylation in the
N-glycans of Dictyostelium.

It is generally thought that inhibition of nitric oxide synthase leads to blood pressure elevation largely through reduction in vascular levels of the vasodilator nitric oxide. However, there are several reports suggesting that NO synthase inhibitors cause adrenal epinephrine (E) release by both central and peripheral mechanisms. We investigated the role of adrenal E in the pressor effects of the nitric oxide synthase inhibitor L-NAME in the pithed rat to help distinguish central from peripherally mediated actions. L-NAME (10 mg/kg) raised both systolic and diastolic BP by about 30 mm Hg (P < .01) in the absence of exogenous electrical stimulation of sympathetic nerves. During stimulation at 10 V and frequencies of 1 or 2 Hz, systolic BP was about 70 mm Hg higher in L-NAME treated rats than in drug free stimulated rats. This enhancement of systolic BP by L-NAME was less pronounced at 5 or 10 Hz stimulation frequencies. Following these types of electrical stimulations of pithed rats, both plasma norepinephrine (NE) and E levels were dramatically elevated above resting plasma levels. L-NAME pretreatment of these electrically stimulated rats increased plasma E levels by an additional 60% and decreased NE by 18%. Acute adrenalectomy dramatically reduced plasma E levels and abolished the ability of L-NAME to enhance the pressor effect of sympathetic stimulation. In contrast, acute adrenalectomy of unstimulated pithed rats did not significantly reduce the pressor response to L-NAME. We conclude that adrenal E release may mediate much of the systolic pressor response of L-NAME in the stimulated pithed rat, but the magnitude of this effect varies with stimulation frequency. Since pithing disrupts central pathways, this induction of adrenal E release by L-NAME is a peripheral effect. 相似文献

The antigenic specificity of an unusual antinuclear antibody pattern in three patient sera was identified after separating HeLa-cell nuclear extracts by two-dimensional (2D) gel electrophoresis and localizing the antigens by immunoblotting with patient serum. Protein spots were excised from the 2D gel and their contents were analyzed by matrix-assisted laser desorption-ionization (MALDI) or nanoelectrospray ionization time-of-flight (TOF) tandem mass spectrometry (MS) after in-gel digestion with trypsin. A database search identified the proteins as the C1 and C2 heterogeneous nuclear ribonucleoproteins. The clinical spectrum of patients with these autoantibodies includes arthritis, psoriasis, myositis, and scleroderma. None of 59 patients with rheumatoid arthritis, 19 with polymyositis, 33 with scleroderma, and 10 with psoriatic arthritis had similar antibodies. High-resolution protein-separation methods and mass-spectrometric peptide mapping in combination with database searches are powerful tools in the identification of novel autoantigen specificities. 相似文献
