Immunocytochemical investigation was performed on the cytoskeletal proteins in cardiac tissue of the cardiomyopathic hamster. Male cardiomyopathic UM-X7.1 hamsters at 180 days of age (n=8) and age- and sex-matched normal BIO-RB hamsters (n=8) were used in this study. Immunofluorescence microscopy using monoclonal antibodies against desmin, -actinin, titin, and vincullin was employed. The heart weight to body weight ratio was significantly increased in the heart of cardiomyopathic hamster compared with that of normal hamster. In cardiomyopathic hamster, the left ventricular cavity was markedly dilated. Light microscopically, hypertrophy and atrophy of myocytes and myocardial fibrosis were prominently observed in cardiomyopathic myocardium. Immunocytochemically, desmin, -actinin and titin showed the cross striations along the myofibers in normal myocardium. In contrast, in cardiomyopathic myocardium, desmin was irregularly distributed in myocytes and the amount of desmin was increased. Loss of cross striations of -actinin and titin were frequently observed. Immunofluorescence against vinculin was not significantly altered. We conclude that the alterations of cytoskeletal proteins in myocardial cells may relate to decreased myocardial function in cardiomyopathic hamster failing heart. 相似文献

Duchenne muscular dystrophy (DMD) is an X-linked recessive progressive muscle
degenerative disorder that causes dilated cardiomyopathy in the second decade of life in
affected males. Dystrophin, the gene responsible for DMD, encodes
full-length dystrophin and various short dystrophin isoforms. In the mouse heart,
full-length dystrophin Dp427 and a short dystrophin isoform, Dp71, are expressed. In this
study, we intended to clarify the functions of these dystrophin isoforms in DMD-related
cardiomyopathy. We used two strains of mice: mdx mice, in which Dp427 was
absent but Dp71 was present, and DMD-null mice, in which both were
absent. By immunohistochemical staining and density-gradient centrifugation, we found that
Dp427 was located in the cardiac sarcolemma and also at the T-tubules, whereas Dp71 was
specifically located at the T-tubules. In order to determine whether T tubule-associated
Dp71 was involved in DMD-related cardiac disruption, we compared the cardiac phenotypes
between DMD-null mice and mdx mice. Both
DMD-null mice and mdx mice exhibited severe necrosis,
which was followed by fibrosis in cardiac muscle. However, we could not detect a
significant difference in myocardial fibrosis between mdx mice and
DMD-null mice. Based on the present results, we have shown that cardiac
myopathy is caused predominantly by a deficiency of full-length dystrophin Dp427. 相似文献

Suppressor-sensitive mutants of Bacillus subtilis phage SPO2 were isolated and classified into 18 cistrons. A linear genetic map was constructed. The genes controlling early functions of phage development were clustered near the CI gene which may produce phage repressor. 相似文献

The plaque assay for human and simian cytomegaloviruses routinely carried out in 60-mm petri dishes (macrocultures) has been adapted for use in microcultures in flat-bottom 16-mm circular wells of disposable plastic trays. Virus titrations and serum neutralization assays carried out in microcultures yielded reproducible results that were identical to those obtained in macrocultures. 相似文献

Infrared rays from sunlight permeate the earth's atmosphere, yet little is known about their interactions with living organisms. To learn whether they affect cell structure and function, we tested the ciliated protozoan, Tetrahymena thermophila. These unicellular eukaryotes aggregate in swarms near the surface of freshwater habitats, where direct and diffuse solar radiation impinge upon the water-air interface. We report that populations irradiated in laboratory cultures grew and mated normally, but major changes occurred in cell physiology during the stationary phase. Early on, there were significant reductions in chromatin body size and the antibody reactivity of methyl groups on lysine residues 4 and 9 in histone H3. Later, when cells began to starve, messenger RNAs for key proteins related to chromatin structure, intermediary metabolism and cellular motility increased from two- to nearly nine-fold. Metabolic activity, swimming speed and linearity of motion also increased, and spindle shaped cells with a caudal cilium appeared. Our findings suggest that infrared radiation enhances differentiation towards a dispersal cell-like phenotype in saturated populations of Tetrahymena thermophila. 相似文献

Effects of twelve protease inhibitors on hatching of mouse embryos were investigated. Mouse hatching was strongly or moderately inhibited by trypsin inhibitors including p-toluenesulfonyl-Lys-CH2Cl (TLCK) and chicken ovomucoid, while inhibitors for chymotrypsin and elastase showed weak or no inhibition. These results indicate the participation of a trypsin-like protease in the hatching of mouse embryos as a hatching enzyme., Since TLCK is the strongest and an irreversible inhibitor for the enzyme, timing of the participation of the hatching enzyme in the hatching process was examined by pulse treatment of embryos with TLCK before and during the zona shedding. The results indicated that a trypsin-like hatching enzyme functions before, but not during, the zona shedding of embryos, especially during a 15 h period immediately before the beginning of the shedding. 相似文献
