Plasminogen activator and collagenase production by cultured capillary endothelial cells 总被引:16,自引:17,他引:16 下载免费PDF全文
Cultured bovine capillary endothelial (BCE) cells produce low levels of collagenolytic activity and significant amounts of the serine protease plasminogen activator (PA). When grown in the presence of nanomolar quantities of the tumor promoter 12-O-tetradecanoyl phorbol-13-acetate (TPA), BCE cells produced 5-15 times more collagenolytic activity and 2-10 times more PA than untreated cells. The enhanced production of these enzymes was dependent on the dose of TPA used, with maximal response at 10(-7) to 10(-8) M. Phorbol didecanoate (PDD), an analog of TPA which is an active tumor promoter, also increased protease production. 4-O-methyl-TPA and 4α-PDD, two analogs of TPA which are inactive as tumor promoters, had no effect on protease production. Increased PA and collagenase activities were detected within 7.5 and 19 h, respectively, after the addition of TPA. The TPA-stimulated BCE cells synthesized a urokinase-type PA and a typical vertebrate collagenase. BCE cells were compared with bovine aortic endothelial (BAE) cells and bovine embryonic skin (BES) fibroblasts with respect to their production of protease in response to TPA. Under normal growth conditions, low levels of collagenolyic activity were detected in the culture fluids from BCE, BAE, and BES cells. BCE cells produced 5-13 times the basal levels of collagenolytic activity in response to TPA, whereas BAE cells and BES fibroblasts showed a minimal response to TPA. Both BCE and BAE cells exhibited relatively high basal levels of PA, the production of which was stimulated approximately threefold by the addition of TPA. The observation that BCE cells and not BAE cells produced high levels of both PA and collagenase activities in response to TPA demonstrates a significant difference between these two types of endothelial cells and suggests that the enhanced detectable activities are a property unique to bovine capillary and microvessel and endothelial cells. 相似文献

The therevoid clade represents a group of four families (Apsilocephalidae, Evocoidae, Scenopinidae and Therevidae) of lower brachyceran Diptera in the superfamily Asiloidea. The largest of these families is that of the stiletto flies (Therevidae). A large‐scale (i.e. supermatrix) phylogeny of Therevidae is presented based on DNA sequence data from seven genetic loci (16S, 18S and 28S ribosomal DNA and four protein‐encoding genes: elongation factor 1‐alpha, triose phosphate isomerase, short‐wavelength rhodopsin and the CPSase region of carbamoyl‐phosphate synthase‐aspartate transcarbamoylase‐dihydroorotase). Results are presented from Bayesian phylogenetic analyses of approximately 8.7 kb of sequence data for 204 taxa representing all subfamilies and genus groups of Therevidae. Our results strongly support the sister‐group relationship between Therevidae and Scenopinidae, with Apsilocephalidae as sister to Evocoidae. Previous estimates of stiletto fly phylogeny based on morphology or DNA sequence data, or supertree analysis, have failed to find significant support for relationships among subfamilies. We report for the first time strong support for the placement of the subfamily Phycinae as sister to the remaining Therevidae, originating during the Mid Cretaceous. As in previous studies, the sister‐group relationship between the species‐rich subfamilies Agapophytinae and Therevinae is strongly supported. Agapophytinae are recovered as monophyletic, inclusive of the Taenogera group. Therevinae comprise the bulk of the species richness in the family and appear to be a relatively recent and rapid radiation originating in the southern hemisphere (Australia + Antarctica + South America) during the Late Cretaceous. Genus groups are defined for all subfamilies based on these results. 相似文献

A common polygenic basis for quinine and PROP avoidance in mice 总被引:3,自引:2,他引:1
Inbred strains of mice (Mus musculus) differ greatly in ability to taste
various bitter compounds. For some compounds, the differences result from
allelic variation at a single locus. However, segregation patterns
incompatible with monogenic inheritance have been found for quinine
avoidance. The Soa bitter sensitivity locus exerts some influence on this
phenotype, but an unknown number of other loci also contribute. Relative
avoidance patterns for quinine sulfate in panels of naive inbred strains
resembled avoidance patterns for 6-n-propyl-2- thiouracil (PROP),
suggesting a common genetic basis. In particular, C57BL/6J mice strongly
avoided both 0.1 mM quinine sulfate and 1 mM PROP in two-bottle preference
tests, whereas C3H/HeJ mice were indifferent to both. Therefore, 12 BXH/Ty
recombinant inbred strains, derived from these strains, were tested with
both solutions to begin identification of the unknown bitter loci. Naive
mice were tested for four consecutive days with each compound (order
counterbalanced). Some BXH/Ty strain means resembled those of the parent
strains, but others were intermediate. This indicated recombination among
loci affecting avoidance, and therefore polygenic inheritance. The strain
means were highly correlated across compounds (r = 0.98), suggesting that
the same polygenes controlled both phenotypes. The BXH/Ty means for both
compounds were then compared with the strain genotypes at 212 chromosome
position markers distributed throughout the genome. Eight markers on five
chromosomes (3, 6, 7, 8 and 9) yielded significant correlations. Six of the
markers were correlated with both phenotypes, again suggesting common
polygenic inheritance. The marker with the highest correlation was Prp,
tightly linked to Soa on chromosome 6. The correlated marker regions likely
contain quantitative trait loci affecting bitter avoidance. The phenotypic
similarity of PROP to quinine, rather than to phenylthiourea, apparently
stemming from a common polygenic basis, indicates a difference between mice
and humans in gustatory organization related to bitters.
