The evolution of viviparity in squamates has been the focus of much scientific attention in previous years. In particular, the possibility of the transition from viviparity back to oviparity has been the subject of a vigorous debate. Some studies have suggested this reversal is more frequent than previously thought. However, none of them provide conclusive evidence. We investigated this problem by studying the phylogenetic relationships between oviparous and viviparous lineages of the reproductively bimodal lizard species Zootoca vivipara . Our results show that viviparous populations are not monophyletic, and that several evolutionary transitions in parity mode have occurred. The most parsimonious scenario involves a single origin of viviparity followed by a reversal back to oviparity. This is the first study with a strongly supported phylogenetic framework supporting a transition from viviparity to oviparity. © 2006 The Linnean Society of London, Biological Journal of the Linnean Society , 2006, 87 , 1–11. 相似文献

If the plasma membrane and its associated transport proteins are solely responsible for maintenance of the asymmetric solute distribution then disruption of the plasma membrane would quickly lead to the symmetric distribution of all unattached inorganic ions between the cell and the extracellular environment. To test this hypothesis fresh pig lenses were incubated in Hanks ’ balanced salt solution in either absence or presence of non-ionic detergents (0.2 % Triton X-100 or 0.2 % Brij 58). Both detergents caused permeabilization of every lens fiber cell as shown by electron microscopy. The flux kinetics of K+, Mg2 +, Na+, Ca2 +, water and protein out of and into the permeabilized lens fiber cells was measured. Triton X-100 caused a faster flux rate of all solutes than did Brij 58. The Triton X-100 induced flux of solutes and water was associated with a decrease in lens ATP. Incubation of untreated lenses in solutions of different osmotic pressures at 0 °C demonstrated that the major fraction of lens water was osmotically unresponsive. Thus the asymmetric distribution of solutes in lens fiber cells is dependent on an intact plasma membrane and on a co-operative ATP-dependent association between K+, Mg2 +, water and cytomatrix proteins. 相似文献

Background aims
Bone marrow–derived mesenchymal stromal cells (MSCs) have been reported to suppress T-cell proliferation and used to alleviate the symptoms of graft-versus-host disease (GVHD). MSCs are a mixed cell population and at this time there are no tools to isolate the cells responsible for the T-cell suppression. We wanted to find a way to enhance the immune-modulatory actions of MSCs and tried varying the temperature at which they were cultured.Methods
We cultured human MSCs derived from healthy volunteers at different temperatures and tested their ability to switch macrophage character from pro-inflammatory to anti-inflammatory (M1 type to M2 type). Using an enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA), we showed that when MSCs are cultured at higher temperatures their ability to induce co-cultured macrophages to produce more interleukin-10, (IL-10) (an anti-inflammatory cytokine) and less tumor necrosis factor alpha, (TNFα) (a pro-inflammatory cytokine) is increased. We performed Western blots and immunocytochemistry to screen for changes that might underlie this effect.Results
We found that in hyperthermia the heat shock protein, HSF1, translocated into the nucleus of MSCs. It appears to induce the COX2/PGE2 (Cyclooxygenase2/Prostaglandin E2) pathway described earlier as a major mechanism of MSC-directed immune-suppression.Conclusion
Hyperthermia increases the efficacy of MSC-driven immune-suppression. We propose that changing the time of MSC administration to patients to mid-to-late afternoon when the body temperature is naturally highest might be beneficial. Warming the patient could also be considered. 相似文献4.

ABSTRACT. Small subunit (16S-like) ribosomal RNA sequences were obtained from representatives of all four families constituting the order Trichomonadida. Comparative sequence analysis revealed that the Trichomonadida are a monophyletic lineage and a deep branch of the eukaryotic tree. Relative to other early divergent eukaryotic assemblages the branching pattern within the Trichomonadida is very shallow. This pattern suggests the Trichomonadida radiated recently, perhaps in conjunction with their animal hosts. From a morphological perspective the Devescovinidae and Calonymphidae are considered more derived than the Monocercomonadidae and Trichomonadidae. Molecular trees inferred by distance, parsimony and likelihood techniques consistently show the Devescovinidae and Calonymphidae are the earliest diverging lineages within the Trichomonadida, however bootstrap values do not strongly support a particular branching order. In an analysis of all known 16S-like ribosomal RNA sequences, the Trichomonadida share most recent common ancestry with unidentified protists from the hindgut of the termite Reticulitermes flavipes. The position of two putative free-living trichomonads in the tree is indicative of derivation from symbionts rather than direct descent from some free-living ancestral trichomonad. 相似文献
