Surfactant protein-A (SP-A) belongs to a family of collagen-containing C-type lectins called collectins. SP-A is expressed by renal tubule epithelial cells. We investigated the distribution of SP-A in renal cell carcinomas (RCC) using immunohistochemical techniques and western blotting. We used 35 formalin fixed, paraffin embedded (FFPE) RCC tissue samples. We compared results with clinico-pathological parameters of RCC including age, sex, Fuhrman grade, tumor volume, tumor node metastasis (TNM) and clinical stage. SP-A was localized in the glomerulus and renal tubule epithelium in nontumor tissue and strong SP-A immunoreactivity was observed in tumor tissue. SP-A was expressed in the RCC tumor cells (64%) and nontumor cells (34%) in males and RCC tumor cells (90%) and nontumor cells (30%) in females. There was a significant correlation between SP-A immunoreactivity in tumor cells and gender, age, tumor diameter, Fuhrman grade and tumor diameter. Western blot analysis supported the immunohistochemical findings. We present evidence for involvement of SP-A in RCC and suggest that increased SP-A expression in RCC is associated with favorable prognosis. 相似文献

In a three-hour bioassay, we tested the palatability and feeding preferences of Uresiphita maorialis (kōwhai moth) for Sophora tetraptera, Sophora microphylla and Sophora prostrata. Palatability tests showed no differences among the Sophora species. Feeding preferences, on the other hand, showed that S. tetraptera and S. microphylla leaves are preferred over S. prostrata leaves. Our results support our field observations in Wellington city parks and gardens showing that S. tetraptera and S. microphylla plants frequently have higher densities of larvae than S. prostrata. 相似文献

The present study investigated the effect of unilateral and bilateral resistance exercise (RE) on maximal voluntary strength, total volume of load lifted (TVLL), rating of perceived exertion (RPE) and blood lactate concentration of resistance-trained males. Twelve healthy men were assessed for the leg extension one-repetition maximum (1RM) strength using bilateral and unilateral contractions. Following this assessment, an RE session (3 sets of repetitions to failure) was conducted with bilateral and unilateral (both limbs) contractions using a load of 50% 1RM. The TVLL was calculated by the product of the number of repetitions and the load lifted per repetition. RPE and blood lactate were measured before, during and after each set. Session RPE was measured 30 minutes after RE sessions. There was a significant difference in the bilateral (120.0±11.9) and unilateral (135.0±20.2 kg) 1RM strength (p < 0.05). The TVLL was similar between both RE sessions. Although the repetitions decreased with each successive set, the total number of repetitions completed in the bilateral protocol (48) was superior to the unilateral (40) protocol (p < 0.05). In both bouts, RPE increased with each subsequent set whilst blood lactate increased after set 1 and thereafter remained stable (p < 0.05). The RPE and lactate responses were not significantly different between both sessions. In conclusion, a bilateral deficit in leg extension strength was confirmed, but the TVLL was similar between both RE sessions when exercising to voluntary fatigue. This outcome could be attributed to the number of repetitions completed in the unilateral RE bout. The equal TVLL would also explain the similar perceptual and metabolic responses across each RE session. 相似文献

The origin of the primary membrane of the vaccinia virus, a double-membrane structure that surrounds the immature virions (IV), is not fully understood. Here we investigated whether the primary membrane originates from the autophagic membrane. Morphologic studies by electron microscopy (EM) showed no apparent difference in viral maturation in the autophagy-deficient cell lines, the atg5(-/-) mouse embryonic fibroblasts (MEFs) and the beclin1(-/-) embryonic stem (ES) cells, compared to their isogenic wild-type counterparts. Moreover, viral growth curves demonstrated that vaccinia viruses replicate and mature in the autophagy-deficient cell lines as efficiently as they do in their isogenic wild type counterpart cells. This study indicates that the cellular autophagy machinery is not required for the life-cycle of vaccinia virus, suggesting that the primary vaccinia viral membrane does not originate from the autophagic membrane. 相似文献

Specific neonatally induced tolerance to Mls locus determinants 总被引:4,自引:0,他引:4

Neonatal injection of CBA/HT6T6 (H-2k, Mlsb) mice with adult, Mls-incompatible (CBA/J [H-2k, Mlsd] X CBA/HT6T6)F1 spleen cells results in the abrogation of cell proliferation and interleukin 2 (IL 2) production in bulk mixed lymphocyte cultures, when spleen cells from the inoculated mice are tested at 6 to 8 wk of age with stimulator cells expressing the Mlsd of the tolerizing inoculum. In limiting dilution assays, this tolerant state was manifested in a 25- to 550-fold (280-fold average) decrease in the frequency of precursors of Mlsd-responsive IL 2-producing T cells. Tolerance was specific in that the frequencies of precursors of IL 2-producing cells responding to Con A, allogeneic H-2d, and self-Ia were not affected. The observed low frequency of Mls-responsive cells was due neither to extensive chimerism resulting in the dilution of Mlsd-responsive cells by the nonresponsive F1 cells of the inoculum, nor to the action of suppressor cells. These findings indicate that neonatal injection of Mls-incompatible spleen cells produces a state of specific tolerance by a clonal deletion or inactivation mechanism. This specific tolerance supports the view that 1) the Mls locus encodes or regulates the expression of defined alloantigenic determinants and 2) Mls-incompatible responder mice have specific receptors for Mls determinants on clonally distributed IL 2-producing responder T cells. 相似文献

Many structural, signaling, and adhesion molecules contain tandemly
repeated amino acid motifs. The alpha-actinin/spectrin/dystrophin
superfamily of F-actin-crosslinking proteins contains an array of triple
alpha-helical motifs (spectrin repeats). We present here the complete
sequence of the novel beta-spectrin isoform beta(Heavy)- spectrin (beta H).
The sequence of beta H supports the origin of alpha- and beta-spectrins
from a common ancestor, and we present a novel model for the origin of the
spectrins from a homodimeric actin-crosslinking precursor. The pattern of
similarity between the spectrin repeat units indicates that they have
evolved by a series of nested, nonuniform duplications. Furthermore, the
spectrins and dystrophins clearly have common ancestry, yet the repeat unit
is of a different length in each family. Together, these observations
suggest a dynamic period of increase in repeat number accompanied by
homogenization within each array by concerted evolution. However, today,
there is greater similarity of homologous repeats between species than
there is across repeats within species, suggesting that concerted evolution
ceased some time before the arthropod/vertebrate split. We propose a
two-phase model for the evolution of the spectrin repeat arrays in which an
initial phase of concerted evolution is subsequently retarded as each new
protein becomes constrained to a specific length and the repeats diverge at
the DNA level. This evolutionary model has general applicability to the
origins of the many other proteins that have tandemly repeated motifs.

L3T4+, B2A2+ thymocytes from infant mice produce IL 2 after interaction with accessory cells expressing self class II antigens 总被引:2,自引:0,他引:2
The presence of a thymocyte population in infant (3 to 10 day old), but not adult mice, that produces IL 2 after self class II MHC antigen stimulation is described. The responding thymocyte expresses the antigenic phenotype: Thy-1+, Ly-1+, Ly-2-, L3T4+, B2A2+. Cell-cell mixing experiments and limiting dilution analysis were consistent with a loss of the self-Ia-reactive IL 2-producing thymocyte in the adult, with no evidence for active suppression found. Although thymocytes from adult animals failed to generate IL 2 after self class II stimulation, a similar frequency of IL 2-producing cells was demonstrated in both infant and adult after allo stimulation. These findings, taken with the recent demonstration of IL 2 receptors on neonatal thymocyte subpopulations, demonstrate a mechanism for IL 2 production in the thymus that may play a role in intrathymic differentiation of T cells. 相似文献
