血管内皮舒张因子在氧自由基所致慢性缺氧大鼠肺内动脉收缩中的作用 总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1
以黄嘌岭(X)-黄嘌呤氧化酶(XO)系统产生氧自由基,应用微量生物测定法观察慢性缺氧(5000m,10d)对大鼠氧自由基所致肺内动脉收缩的影响及内皮舒张因子(EDRF)在其中的作用。慢性缺氧大鼠有内皮的肺内动脉环对氧自由基的收缩反应较正常环境中的对照动物明显增强,加入EDRF灭活剂还原型血红蛋白(RHb)后更加显著;而加入超氧化物歧化酶(铜锌SOD)后则减弱,甚至消除。反之,不论加入RHb或SOD对氧自由基所致去内皮肺内动脉环的收缩反应均无明显影响。上述结果表明慢性缺氧引起肺内动脉收缩增强与EDRF有密切关系:慢性缺氧可能使EDRF的作用减弱,肺内动脉对氧自由基的反应性增强。表示EDRF及其与氧自由基的关系在慢性缺氧性肺动脉高压的形成中可能具有十分重要的意义。 相似文献

The beta-sheet plaques that are the most obvious pathological feature of Alzheimer's disease are composed of amyloid-beta peptides and are highly enriched in the metal ions Zn, Fe and Cu. The interaction of the full-length amyloid peptide, A beta(1-42), with phospholipid lipid bilayers was studied in the presence of the metal-chelating drug, Clioquinol (CQ). The effect of cholesterol and metal ions was also determined using solid-state 31P and 2H NMR. CQ modulated the effect of metal ions on the integrity of the bilayer and although CQ perturbed the phospholipid membrane, the bilayer integrity was maintained. Model membranes enriched in cholesterol were studied under conditions of peptide association and incorporation. Solid-state NMR showed that the bilayer integrity was preserved in cholesterol-enriched membranes in comparison to phosphatidylcholine-phosphatidylserine bilayers. Changes in peptide structure, consistent with an increase in beta-sheet, were observed using specifically 13C-labelled A beta(1-42) by magic angle spinning NMR. Results using aligned phosphatidylcholine bilayers and completely 15N-labelled peptide indicated that the peptide aggregated. The results are consistent with oligomeric beta-sheet structured peptides only partially penetrating the bilayer and cholesterol reducing the membrane disruption. 相似文献

Abeta(1-42) peptide, found as aggregated species in Alzheimer's disease brain, is linked to the onset of Alzheimer's disease. Many reports have linked metals to inducing Abeta aggregation and amyloid plaque formation. Abeta(25-35), a fragment from the C-terminal end of Abeta(1-42), lacks the metal coordinating sites found in the full-length peptide and is neurotoxic to cortical cortex cell cultures. We report solid-state NMR studies of Abeta(25-35) in model lipid membrane systems of anionic phospholipids and cholesterol, and compare structural changes to those of Abeta(1-42). When added after vesicle formation, Abeta(25-35) was found to interact with the lipid headgroups and slightly perturb the lipid acyl-chain region; when Abeta(25-35) was included during vesicle formation, it inserted deeper into the bilayer. While Abeta(25-35) retained the same beta-sheet structure irrespective of the mode of addition, the longer Abeta(1-42) appeared to have an increase in beta-sheet structure at the C-terminus when added to phospholipid liposomes after vesicle formation. Since the Abeta(25-35) fragment is also neurotoxic, the full-length peptide may have more than one pathway for toxicity. 相似文献

Background
Microarray-based pooled DNA experiments that combine the merits of DNA pooling and gene chip technology constitute a pivotal advance in biotechnology. This new technique uses pooled DNA, thereby reducing costs associated with the typing of DNA from numerous individuals. Moreover, use of an oligonucleotide gene chip reduces costs related to processing various DNA segments (e.g., primers, reagents). Thus, the technique provides an overall cost-effective solution for large-scale genomic/genetic research. However, few publicly shared tools are available to systematically analyze the rapidly accumulating volume of whole-genome pooled DNA data. 相似文献6.
While neuronal membranes are proposed to be the primary target of amyloid plaques, the effect of phospholipids on fibril formation kinetics and morphology has not yet been resolved. We report that interaction of various compositions with neuronal mimics promoted different processes of fibril formation: negatively charged surfaces increased the lag time and elongation rate in thioflavin T assays, while brain total lipid extract had an opposite effect compared to that in the absence of lipid. Electron microscopy showed thin and elongated fibrils when the peptide was incubated with anionic lipids, while neutral surfaces promoted coarse and small fibrils. Circular dichroism and thioflavin T assays confirmed an initially unstructured peptide, and measured its transition to an aggregated beta-sheet conformation. 相似文献

Development of parthenogenetic eggs is expressed in a Dark Cornish stock by either membrane or embryo formation. Double-yolked eggs have membranes developing in zero, one, or two yolks. The incidence of double-yolked eggs with two membranes was higher than expected when compared with the incidence of single-yolked eggs from the same hens. Membrane formation was increased over that of the controls by injecting saline, Ringer's solution, or ground crude membranes. Yolk and membranes filtered through a 3 mu filter or autoclaved did not increase membrane formation over that of the controls. Fertile membranes behaved like parthenogenetic membranes. 相似文献

本文报道从新疆分离的一株大菜粉蝶(Pieris brassicae)颗粒体病毒(PbGV)包含体上结合有碱性蛋白酶.提取含酶的包含体蛋白,以酪蛋白为底物鉴定表明此酶在pH9.4有最大的酶活力,并定位于“包裹”在病毒粒子套膜外的包含体蛋白中.在高pH时分子皿为26,500的包含体蛋白被酶降解为19,500和15,600道尔顿的两个组分.Hg++、Cu++仅部分抑制酶活力,可被二异丙基氟磷酸(DFP)完全抑制.75℃以上加热处理可使酶失活,并大大降低病毒包含体的解离.推测此酶是影响PbGV对寄主感染率的因子之一. 相似文献

β-蝮蛇毒素(β-agkistrodotoxin简写β-AgTX)对骨胳肌神经肌肉接头的作用已有实验分析,本文则观察了β-AgTX对蟾蜍交感神经节胆碱能性和非胆碱能性突触电位的作用。结果表明,β-AgTX对胆碱能性快兴奋性突触后电位(f-EPSP)和由压力微量注射ACh产生的ACh电位快成分有可逆性抑制作用,且对f-EPSP的幅值抑制率明显大于对ACh电位的抑制率,方差分析显示β-AgTX对f-EPSP和对ACh电位的抑制之间的差异显著(P<0.01)。β-AgTX对非胆碱能性迟慢兴奋性突触后电位(1s-EPSP)无明显作用。本结果提示β-AgTX可能是通过抑制节前神经末梢释放AGh的突触前机制和占据突触后N型胆碱能受体影响ACh的作用之突触后机制,抑制蟾蜍交感神经节的胆碱能性传递过程。 相似文献
