Neurofilaments subunits (NF-H, NF-M, NF-L) and glial fibrillary acidic protein (GFAP) were investigated in the hippocampus
of rats after distinct periods of reperfusion (1 to 15 days) following 20 min of transient global forebrain ischemia in the
rat. In vitro [14Ca]leucine incorporation was not altered until 48 h after the ischemic insult, however concentration of intermediate filament
subunits significantly decreased in this period. Three days after the insult, leucine incorporation significantly increased
while the concentration NF-H, NF-M, and NF-L were still diminished after 15 days of reperfusion. In vitro incorporation of32P into NF-M and NF-L suffered immediately after ischemia, but returned to control values after two days of reperfusion. GFAP
levels decreased immediately after ischemia but quickly recovered and significantly peaked from 7 to 10 days after the insult.
These results suggest that transient ischemia followed by reperfusion causes proteolysis of intermediate filaments in the
hippocampus, and that proteolysis could be facilitated by diminished phosphorylation levels of NF-M and NF-L. 相似文献

New agricultural pest species attacking introduced crops may evolve from pre‐existing local herbivores by ecological speciation, thereby becoming a species by becoming a pest. We compare the evolutionary pathways by which two maize pests (the Asian and the European corn borers, ACB and ECB) in the genus Ostrinia (Lepidoptera, Crambidae) probably diverged from an ancestral species close to the current Adzuki bean borer (ABB). We typed larval Ostrinia populations collected on maize and dicotyledons across China and eastern Siberia, at microsatellite and mitochondrial loci. We found only two clusters: one on maize (as expected) and a single one on dicotyledons despite differences in male mid‐tibia morphology, suggesting that all individuals from dicotyledons belonged to the ABB. We found evidence for migrants and hybrids on both host plant types. Hybrids suggest that field reproductive isolation is incomplete between ACB and ABB. Interestingly, a few individuals with an ‘ABB‐like’ microsatellite profile collected on dicotyledons had ‘ACB’ mtDNA rather than ‘ABB‐like’ mtDNA, whereas the reverse was never found on maize. This suggests asymmetrical gene flow directed from the ACB towards the ABB. Hybrids and backcrosses in all directions were obtained in no‐choice tests. In laboratory conditions, they survived as well as parental strain individuals. In Xinjiang, we found ACB and ECB in sympatry, but no hybrids. Altogether, our results suggest that reproductive isolation between ACB and ABB is incomplete and mostly prezygotic. This points to ecological speciation as a possible evolutionary scenario, as previously found for ECB and ABB in Europe. 相似文献

The development and maintenance of prostate function depend on a fine balance between oestrogen and androgen levels. Finasteride inhibits 5α‐reductase, which is responsible for the conversion of testosterone into its most active form, dihydrotestosterone. Enzymes that metabolize these hormones have a highly relevant role in both the normal prostate metabolism and in the occurrence of pathological conditions. There are few studies on the impact of finasteride on male prostate development and fewer studies on the female prostate and possible intersexual differences. Therefore, we treated male and female gerbils from 7 to 14 days in postnatal life with a high dose of finasteride (500 μg/kg/day); the prostate complexes were then removed and submitted to immunohistochemistry, immunofluorescence and three‐dimensional reconstruction. In addition, hormonal serum dosages were administered. Treatment with finasteride resulted in an increased thickness of the periductal smooth musculature in the prostate of both male and female gerbils, such as well as a reduction in the thickness of developing prostate alveoli in both sexes. In addition, intersexual differences were observed as increased epithelial proliferation and decreases in the number of developing alveoli in females. Together, the data indicate that postnatal exposure to finasteride causes greater changes in the female gerbil prostate than in the male. 相似文献

In vitro and in animal models, APE1, OGG1, and PARP-1 have been proposed as being involved with inflammatory response. In this work, we have investigated if the SNPs APE1 Asn148Glu, OGG1 Ser326Cys, and PARP-1 Val762Ala are associated to meningitis. The patient genotypes were investigated by PIRA-PCR or PCR-RFLP. DNA damages were detected in genomic DNA by Fpg treatment. IgG and IgA were measured from plasma and the cytokines and chemokines were measured from cerebrospinal fluid samples using Bio-Plex assays. A higher frequency (P<0.05) of APE1 Glu allele in bacterial meningitis (BM) and aseptic meningitis (AM) patients was observed. The genotypes Asn/Asn in control group and Asn/Glu in BM group was also higher. For the SNP OGG1 Ser326Cys, the genotype Cys/Cys was more frequent (P<0.05) in BM group. The frequency of PARP-1 Val/Val genotype was higher in control group (P<0.05). The occurrence of combined SNPs is significantly higher in BM patients, indicating that these SNPs may be associated to the disease. Increasing in sensitive sites to Fpg was observed in carriers of APE1 Glu allele or OGG1 Cys allele, suggesting that SNPs affect DNA repair activity. Alterations in IgG production were observed in the presence of SNPs APE1 Asn148Glu, OGG1 Ser326Cys or PARP-1 Val762Ala. Moreover, reduction in the levels of IL-6, IL-1Ra, MCP-1/CCL2 and IL-8/CXCL8 was observed in the presence of APE1 Glu allele in BM patients. In conclusion, we obtained indications of an effect of SNPs in DNA repair genes on the regulation of immune response in meningitis. 相似文献

Soil salinity affects plant growth and development due to harmful ion effects and water stress caused by reduced osmotic potential in the soil solution. In order to evaluate the effects of salt stress in young umbu plants, research was performed in green house conditions at the Laboratory of Plant Physiology at Federal Rural University of Pernambuco, Brazil. Growth, stomatal behaviour, water relations, and both inorganic and organic solutes were studied aiming for a better understanding of the responses of umbu plants to increasing salinity. Plants were grown in washed sand with Hoagland and Arnon nutrient solution with 0, 25, 50, 75, and 100 mM NaCl. Growth, leaf water potential, transpiration, and diffusive resistance were evaluated. Na+, K+, Cl−, soluble carbohydrates, and free amino acid contents were measured in several plant organs. Most variables were affected with salinity above 50 mM NaCl showing decreases in: number of leaves, plant height, stems diameter, and dry masses, and increases in root-to-shoot ratio. Reductions in ψpd were observed in plants grown under 75 and 100 mM NaCl. All salt levels above zero increased Na+ and Cl− contents in leaves. However, K+ content was not affected. Na+ and Cl− in stems and roots reached saturation in treatments above 50 mM NaCl. Organic solute accumulation in response to salt stress was not observed in umbu plants. These results suggest that umbu plants tolerate salt levels up to 50 mM NaCl without showing significant physio-morphological alterations. 相似文献

Glutaric acidemia type I (GA I) is an inherited neurometabolic disorder caused by glutaryl-CoA dehydrogenase deficiency, which leads to accumulation in body fluids and in brain of predominantly glutaric acid (GA), and to a lesser extent of 3-hydroxyglutaric and glutaconic acids. Neurological presentation is common in patients with GA I. Although the mechanisms underlying brain damage in this disorder are not yet well established, there is growing evidence that excitotoxicity may play a central role in the neuropathogenesis of this disease. In the present study, preparations of synaptosomes, synaptic plasma membranes and synaptic vesicles, as well as cultured astrocytes from rat forebrain were exposed to various concentrations of GA for the determination of the basal and potassium-induced release of [(3)H]glutamate by synaptosomes, Na(+)-independent glutamate binding to synaptic membranes and vesicular glutamate uptake and Na(+)-dependent glutamate uptake into astrocytes, respectively. GA (1-100 nM) significantly stimulated [(3)H]glutamate binding to brain plasma membranes (40-70%) in the absence of extracellular Na(+) concentrations, reflecting glutamate binding to receptors. Furthermore, this stimulatory effect was totally abolished by the metabotropic glutamate ligands DHPG, DCG-IV and l-AP4, attenuated by the ionotropic non-NMDA glutamate receptor agonist AMPA and had no interference of the NMDA receptor antagonist MK-801. Moreover, [(3)H]glutamate uptake into synaptic vesicles was inhibited by approximately 50% by 10 and 100 nM GA and Na(+)-dependent [(3)H]glutamate uptake by astrocytes was significantly increased (up to 50%) in a dose-dependent manner (maximal stimulation at 100 microM GA). In contrast, synaptosomal glutamate release was not affected by the acid at concentrations as high as 1 mM. These results indicate that the inhibition of glutamate uptake into synaptic vesicles by low concentrations GA may result in elevated concentrations of the excitatory neurotransmitter in the cytosol and the stimulatory effect of this organic acid on glutamate binding may potentially cause excitotoxicity to neural cells. Finally, taken together these results and previous findings showing that GA markedly decreases synaptosomal glutamate uptake, it is possible that the stimulatory effect of GA on astrocyte glutamate uptake might indicate that astrocytes may protect neurons from excitotoxic damage caused by GA by increasing glutamate uptake and therefore reducing the concentration of this excitatory neurotransmitter in the synaptic cleft. 相似文献

The aim of this study was to determine the best processing conditions to extract Brazilian green propolis using a supercritical extraction technology. For this purpose, the influence of different parameters was evaluated such as S/F (solvent mass in relation to solute mass), percentage of co-solvent (1 and 2% ethanol), temperature (40 and 50°C) and pressure (250, 350 and 400 bar) using supercritical carbon dioxide. The Global Yield Isotherms (GYIs) were obtained through the evaluation of the yield, and the chemical composition of the extracts was also obtained in relation to the total phenolic compounds, flavonoids, antioxidant activity and 3,5-diprenyl-4-hydroxicinnamic acid (Artepillin C) and acid 4-hydroxycinnamic (p-coumaric acid). The best results were identified at 50°C, 350 bar, 1% ethanol (co-solvent) and S/F of 110. These conditions, a content of 8.93±0.01 and 0.40±0.05 g/100 g of Artepillin C and p-coumaric acid, respectively, were identified indicating the efficiency of the extraction process. Despite of low yield of the process, the extracts obtained had high contents of relevant compounds, proving the viability of the process to obtain green propolis extracts with important biological applications due to the extracts composition. 相似文献
