High‐protein feeding acutely lowers postprandial glucose concentration compared to low‐protein feeding, despite a dichotomous rise of circulating glucagon levels. The physiological role of this glucagon rise has been largely overlooked. We here first report that glucagon signalling in the dorsal vagal complex (DVC) of the brain is sufficient to lower glucose production by activating a Gcgr–PKA–ERK–KATP channel signalling cascade in the DVC of rats in vivo. We further demonstrate that direct blockade of DVC Gcgr signalling negates the acute ability of high‐ vs. low‐protein feeding to reduce plasma glucose concentration, indicating that the elevated circulating glucagon during high‐protein feeding acts in the brain to lower plasma glucose levels. These data revise the physiological role of glucagon and argue that brain glucagon signalling contributes to glucose homeostasis during dietary protein intake. 相似文献

The oriental fruit fly, Bactrocera dorsalis (Hendel), is a key pest that causes reduction of the crop yield within the international fruit market. Fruit flies have been
suppressed by two Area-Wide Integrated Pest Management programs in Thailand using Sterile Insect Technique (AW-IPM-SIT) since
the late 1980s and the early 2000s. The projects’ planning and evaluation usually rely on information from pest status, distribution,
and fruit infestation. However, the collected data sometimes does not provide enough detail to answer management queries and
public concerns, such as the long term sterilization efficacy of the released fruit fly, skepticism about insect migration
or gene flow across the buffer zone, and the re-colonisation possibility of the fruit fly population within the core area.
Established microsatellite DNA markers were used to generate population genetic data for the analysis of the fruit fly sampling
from several control areas, and non-target areas, as well as the mass-rearing facility. The results suggested limited gene
flow (m < 0.100) across the buffer zones between the flies in the control areas and flies captured outside. In addition, no genetic
admixture was revealed from the mass-reared colony flies from the flies within the control area, which supports the effectiveness
of SIT. The control pests were suppressed to low density and showed weak bottleneck footprints although they still acquired
a high degree of genetic variation. Potential pest resurgence from fragmented micro-habitats in mixed fruit orchards rather
than pest incursion across the buffer zone has been proposed. Therefore, a suitable pest control effort, such as the SIT program,
should concentrate on the hidden refuges within the target area. 相似文献

We describe a new scaffold-free three-dimensional (3D) cell culture model using cholesteryl ester based lyotropic liquid crystal (LC) substrates. Keratinocytes were deposited randomly on the LC surface where they self-assembled into 3D microtissues or keratinospheroids. The cell density required to form spheroids was optimized. We investigated cell viability using dead/live cell assays. The adhesion characteristics of cells within the microtissues were determined using histological sectioning and immunofluorescence staining. Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR) was used to characterize the biochemistry of the keratinospheroids. We found that both cells and microtissues could migrate on the LC surface. The viability study indicated approximately 80% viability of cells in the microtissues up to 20 days of culture. Strong intercellular adhesion was observed in the stratification of the multi-layered microspheroids using field emission-scanning electron microscopy (FE-SEM) and histochemical staining. The cytoskeleton and vinculins of the cells in the microtissues were expressed diffusely, but the microtissues were enriched with lipids and nucleic acids, which indicates close resemblance to the conditions in vivo. The basic 3D culture model based on LC may be used for cell and microtissue migration studies in response to cytochemical treatment. 相似文献

Introduction
In inflammatory joint disease, such as osteoarthritis (OA), there is an increased level of proinflammatory cytokines, such as interleukin (IL)-1β. These cytokines stimulate the production of matrix metalloproteinases (MMPs), which leads to the degradation of the cartilage extracellular matrix and the loss of key structural components such as sulphated glycosaminoglycan (sGAG) and collagen II. The aim of this study was to examine the therapeutic potential of n-3 polyunsaturated fatty acids (PUFAs) in an in vitro model of cartilage inflammation. 相似文献7.

Human induced pluripotent stem cells (iPSCs) present exciting opportunities for studying development and for in vitro disease modeling. However, reported variability in the behavior of iPSCs has called their utility into question. We established a test set of 16 iPSC lines from seven individuals of varying age, sex and health status, and extensively characterized the lines with respect to pluripotency and the ability to terminally differentiate. Under standardized procedures in two independent laboratories, 13 of the iPSC lines gave rise to functional motor neurons with a range of efficiencies similar to that of human embryonic stem cells (ESCs). Although three iPSC lines were resistant to neural differentiation, early neuralization rescued their performance. Therefore, all 16 iPSC lines passed a stringent test of differentiation capacity despite variations in karyotype and in the expression of early pluripotency markers and transgenes. This iPSC and ESC test set is a robust resource for those interested in the basic biology of stem cells and their applications. 相似文献

It has previously shown (Schekman, R., and S.J. Singer, Proc. Natl. Acad. Sci. U.S.A. 73:4075-4079) that receptors in the membranes of neonatal human erythrocytes show a restricted degree of lateral mobility, whereas in adult human erythrocytes the receptors are essentially immobile. This restricted mobility is exhibited, for example, when concanavalin A (Con A) induces a limited clustering of its receptors in the neonatal erythrocyte membrane, resulting in the formation of invaginations and endocytic vesicles. This does not happen with adult cells. By the use of indirect immunoferritin labeling of ultrathin frozen sections of Con A-treated neonatal blood cells, we now show that the invaginations and endocytotic vesicles do not stain for spectrin, whereas the adjacent unperturbed membrane is heavily stained. The reticulocytes in the neonatal cell population undergo substantially more Con A-induced invagination and endocytosis than do the erythrocytes. These results lend strong support to the hypothesis that specialized discrete domains exist, or are induced, in the membranes of these neonatal cells, in which receptors are laterally mobile, whereas in the remaining (and predominant) part of the membrane the receptors are immobile. Such mobile domains are characterized by an absence of spectrin. During the maturation of the neonatal reticulocyte to erythrocyte, it is proposed that these domains are in large part, but not completely, eliminated. 相似文献

We used a population genetic approach to detect the presence of genetic diversity among six populations of Anastrepha
fraterculus across Brazil. To this aim, we used Simple Sequence Repeat (SSR) markers, which may capture the presence of differentiative processes across the genome in distinct populations. Spatial analyses of molecular variance were used to identify groups of populations that are both genetically and geographically homogeneous while also being maximally differentiated from each other. The spatial analysis of genetic diversity indicates that the levels of diversity among the six populations vary significantly on an eco-geographical basis. Particularly, altitude seems to represent a differentiating adaptation, as the main genetic differentiation is detected between the two populations present at higher altitudes and the other four populations at sea level. The data, together with the outcomes from different cluster analyses, identify a genetic diversity pattern that overlaps with the distribution of the known morphotypes in the Brazilian area. 相似文献
