Plasma vitamin A, C and E levels and erythrocyte antioxidant enzyme activities were investigated in type I and type II diabetic subjects with and without complications, i.e., hypertension, coronary artery disease and renal failure. Reverse phase HPLC was used to quantify vitamin A and E levels. We observed that the vitamin C levels were not significantly different between control and diabetic subjects. However, vitamin A and E levels were significantly lower in type I and type II diabetic subjects compared to controls. Superoxide dismutase (SOD) activity was significantly lower in type II, but not in type I, diabetic patients compared to controls. Interestingly, glutathione reductase and peroxidase activities were diminished in type I, but not in type II, diabetic subjects as compared to controls. Catalase activity was lower in both types of diabetic patients in comparison with their respective controls. Altogether these results suggest that diabetes mellitus may be associated with altered antioxidant status regardless to various complications.  相似文献

This study compares, in 2-d-old rats, the migration rates of epithelial cells on villi of the small intestine, using two labelling methods: a single [3H] thymidine injection; and cytoplasmic labelling by a single ingestion of Pu-citrate. Histoautoradiography showed negligible diffusion of Pu after the initial retention, which was mostly confined to the epithelial cells of the villi. However, after sloughing of labelled cells in the intestinal lumen, Pu was reabsorbed by the distal epithelial cells. In segments in which Pu reabsorption was negligible, the migration rates of Pu- and 3H-labelled cells were very close. These rates, expressed in micrometers, were almost constant along the length of the villus, and the Pu and 3H labelling edges reached the top of the villi in about 5 and 7 d, respectively. Once Pu retention had reached its maximum in 9 equal segments cut along the small intestine, tissue counting showed an exponential Pu release of 30-40%/d from each segment until the end of the experiment at d16. This constant release might reflect a constant cell migration rate during the period from Pu ingestion until d16.  相似文献

Opuntia ficus indica (prickly pear) polyphenolic compounds (OFPC) triggered an increase in [Ca2+]i in human Jurkat T-cell lines. Furthermore, OFPC-induced rise in [Ca2+]i was significantly curtailed in calcium-free buffer (0% Ca2+) as compared to that in 100% Ca2+ medium. Preincubation of cells with tyrphostin A9, an inhibitor of Ca2+ release-activated Ca2+ (CRAC) channels, significantly diminished the OFPC-induced sustained response on the increases in [Ca2+]i. Lanthanum and nifedipine, the respective inhibitors of voltage-dependent and L-type calcium channels, failed to curtail significantly the OFPC-induced calcium response. As OFPC still stimulated increases in [Ca2+]i in 0% Ca2+ medium, the role of intracellular calcium was investigated. Hence, addition of thapsigargin (TG), an inhibitor of Ca2+-ATPase of the endoplasmic reticulum (ER), during the OFPC-induced peak response exerted an additive effect, indicating that the mechanism of action of these two agents are different. Furthermore, U73122, an inhibitor of IP3 production, completely abolished increases in [Ca2+]i, induced by OFPC, suggesting that these polyphenols induce the production of IP3 that recruits calcium from ER pool. Polyphenolic compounds do act extracellularly as addition of fatty acid-free bovine serum albumin (BSA) significantly diminished the rise in [Ca2+]i evoked by the formers. OFPC also induced plasma membrane hyperpolarisation which was reversed by addition of BSA. OFPC were found to curtail the expression of IL-2 mRNA and T-cell blastogenesis. Together these results suggest that OFPC induce increases in [Ca2+]i via ER pool and opening of CRAC channels, and exert immunosuppressive effects in Jurkat T-cells.  相似文献

Maternal parasitoses modulate fetal immune development, manifesting as altered cellular immunological activity in cord blood that may be linked to enhanced susceptibility to infections in early life. Plasmodium falciparum typifies such infections, with distinct placental infection-related changes in cord blood exemplified by expanded populations of parasite antigen-specific regulatory T cells. Here we addressed whether such early-onset cellular immunological alterations persist through infancy. Specifically, in order to assess the potential impacts of P. falciparum infections either during pregnancy or during infancy, we quantified lymphocyte subsets in cord blood and in infants'' peripheral blood during the first year of life. The principal age-related changes observed, independent of infection status, concerned decreases in the frequencies of CD4+, NKdim and NKT cells, whilst CD8+, Treg and Teff cells'' frequencies increased from birth to 12 months of age. P. falciparum infections present at delivery, but not those earlier in gestation, were associated with increased frequencies of Treg and CD8+ T cells but fewer CD4+ and NKT cells during infancy, thus accentuating the observed age-related patterns. Overall, P. falciparum infections arising during infancy were associated with a reversal of the trends associated with maternal infection i.e. with more CD4+ cells, with fewer Treg and CD8+ cells. We conclude that maternal P. falciparum infection at delivery has significant and, in some cases, year-long effects on the composition of infants'' peripheral blood lymphocyte populations. Those effects are superimposed on separate and independent age- as well as infant infection-related alterations that, respectively, either match or run counter to them.  相似文献

Immunological tolerance is one of the fundamental aspects of the immune system. The CD4+CD25+ regulatory T (Treg) cells have emerged as key players in the development of tolerance to self and foreign antigens. However, little is known about the endogenous factors and mechanisms controlling their suppressive capacity on immune response. In this study, we observed that docosahexaenoic acid (DHA), an n-3 polyunsaturated fatty acid, diminished, in a dose-dependent manner, the capacity of Treg cells to inhibit the CD4+CD25 effector T-cell proliferation. DHA not only reduced the migration of Treg cells toward chemokines but also downregulated the mRNA expression of CCR-4 and CXCR-4 in Treg cells. DHA also curtailed ERK1/2 and Akt phosphorylation and downregulated the Smad7 levels in these cells. Contradictorily, DHA upregulated the mRNA expression of Foxp3, CTLA-4, TGF-β, and IL-10; nonetheless, this fatty acid increased the expression of p27KIP1 mRNA, known to be involved in Treg cell unresponsiveness. In Foxp3-immunoprepitated nuclear proteins, DHA upregulated histone desacetylase 7 levels that would again participate in the unresposnsiveness of these cells. Finally, a DHA-enriched diet also diminished, ex vivo, the suppressive capacity of Treg cells. Altogether, these results suggest that DHA, by diminishing Treg cell functions, may play a key role in health and disease.  相似文献

The in vitro effects of extracts of four tropical plants (Zanthoxylum zanthoxyloides, Newbouldia laevis, Morinda lucida and Carica papaya) on the egg, infective larvae and adult worms of Trichostrongylus colubriformis were screened for potential anthelmintic properties. Significant effects were observed with the four plants on T. colubriformis but they differed depending on the stage of the parasite. Extracts of each plant induced a dose-dependent inhibition of egg hatching. Using a larval inhibition migration test, the effects on the infective larvae were also detected with the four plant extracts. In contrast, for adult worms, the effects were statistically significant only for N. laevis and C. papaya. No significant activity was shown for M. lucida and Z. zanthoxyloides. These in vitro results suggest the presence of some anthelmintic properties associated with these four plants, which are traditionally used by small farmers in western Africa. These effects need to be studied under in vivo conditions.  相似文献

The transfer of various Np(IV) and Np(V) chemical forms across the small intestine of rats was measured in instilled and perfused jejunum. Instillation of Np(V) nitrate together with citrate or DTPA resulted in the same absorption of Np as after instillation of Np(V) nitrate alone (3 per cent per hour). Perfusion of Np(V) nitrate with bicarbonate or DTPA resulted in a similar transfer (2 per cent) but added citrate or ascorbate resulted in reduced transfer (0.8 per cent). Addition of phytate reduced Np transfer in both instilled and perfused jejunum (0.4 per cent). Np(IV) transfer was usually the same as, or less than that of, the corresponding Np(V) forms. Np(IV) transfer was similar in perfused and instilled jejunum, increasing from 0.2 per cent in the presence of citrate and phytate, to 1 per cent with EDTA and DTPA. Except for phytate, all the forms of Np(V) tested behaved like Np(V) nitrate after transfer from the intestine or after intravenous injection. By contrast, the behaviour of Np(IV) varied for all the forms tested and, for a given form, varied as a function of the experimental procedure used, i.e. jejunal instillation, perfusion, or intravenous injection. These findings suggest that the intestinal transfer of Np might occur via the intercellular pathway, and that it is controlled by both the molecular weight of the Np compound and its stability constant.  相似文献

After gavage of two-day-old rats with 238Pu(IV)-citrate at 17.4 MBq/kg (122 kBq per animal), 45 per cent of the animals died during the second week following ingestion. Histological analysis showed that death was due to acute intestinal lesions caused by alpha-radiation that resulted in denudation of the ileum. Under these experimental conditions, the total alpha-dose delivered to the ileal wall and its contents was estimated at 150 Gy. No acute lesions were observed after gavage of two-day-old rats with Pu-citrate at 5.3 MBq/kg.  相似文献
