The binding of 25-hydroxy-[26,27-3H]vitamin D-3 and 25-hydroxy-[26,27-3H]vitamin D-2 to the vitamin D binding protein in the plasma of both rats and chicks has been studied. In the case of rats, sucrose density gradient analysis, competitive displacement, and Scatchard analysis demonstrate that 25-hydroxyvitamin D-3 and 25-hydroxyvitamin D-2 are bound equally well to the vitamin D binding protein. In contrast, 25-hydroxyvitamin D-2 is poorly bound, while 25-hydroxyvitamin D-3 is tightly bound to the vitamin D binding protein in chick plasma. On the other hand, the chick intestinal receptor binds 1,25-dihydroxyvitamin D-2 and 1,25-dihydroxyvitamin D-3 equally well with a KD of 7.10(-11) M for both compounds. These results strongly suggest that the failure of the plasma transport protein in chicks to bind the vitamin D-2 compounds may be responsible for their relative ineffectiveness in these animals. 相似文献

Unique rearrangement of ergocalciferol side chain in vitro: production of a biologically highly active homologue of 1,25-dihydroxyvitamin D3 总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1
In vitro incubation of 24-epi-25-hydroxyvitamin D2 with chicken kidney homogenate produced several compounds, one of which had an affinity equal to that of 1,25-dihydroxyvitamin D2 for the chick intestinal receptor. The affinity of 24-epi-1,25-dihydroxyvitamin D2 for the same receptor was found to be half that of 1,25-dihydroxyvitamin D2. The unknown compound was produced only when homogenate was prepared from pooled kidneys taken from both vitamin D deficient and replete chickens. The compound has been tentatively identified as 1,25-dihydroxy-22-dehydro-26-homovitamin D3 by ultraviolet absorption spectrophotometry and mass spectrometry. Chemical synthesis of 1,25-dihydroxy-22-dehydro-26-homovitamin D3 provided additional evidence for the structure. Administration of this 26-homologue of 1,25-dihydroxyvitamin D3 at the dose level of 650 pmol/rat stimulated bone calcium mobilization in the hypocalcemic rat equal to that of 1,25-dihydroxyvitamin D3. Thus, this paper demonstrates unique methyl migration on the side chain of 24-epi-1,25-dihydroxyvitamin D3 to form a more biologically potent analogue. 相似文献

Slow response of soil organic matter to the reduction in atmospheric nitrogen deposition in a Norway spruce forest 总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1

Global nitrogen (N) deposition rates in terrestrial environments have quadrupled since preindustrial times, causing structural and functional changes of ecosystems. Different emission reduction policies were therefore devised. The aim of our study was to investigate if, and over what timescale, processes of soil organic matter (OM) transformation respond to a decline in atmospheric N deposition. A N‐saturated spruce forest (current N deposition: 34 kg ha?1 yr?1; critical N load: 14 kg ha?1 yr?1), where N deposition has been reduced to 11.5 kg ha?1 yr?1 since 1991, was studied. Besides organic C and organic and inorganic N, noncellulosic carbohydrates, amino sugars and amino acids were determined. A decline in organic N in litter indicated initial effects at plant level. However, there were no changes in biomarkers upon the reduction in N deposition. In addition, inorganic N was not affected by reduced N deposition. The results showed that OM cycling and transformation processes have not responded so far. It was concluded that no direct N deposition effects have occurred due to the large amount of stored organic N, which seems to compensate for the reduction in deposited N. Obviously, the time span of atmospheric N reduction (about 14.5 years) is too short compared with the mean turnover time of litter to cause indirect effects on the composition of organic C and N compounds. It is assumed that ecological processes, such as microbial decomposition or recycling of organic N and C, react slowly, but may start within the next decade with the incorporation of the new litter. 相似文献

Cerebellar histogenesis is disturbed in mice lacking cyclin D2 总被引:15,自引:0,他引:15

Formation of brain requires deftly balancing primary genesis of neurons and glia, detection of when sufficient cells of each type have been produced, shutdown of proliferation and removal of excess cells. The region and cell type-specific expression of cell cycle regulatory proteins, such as demonstrated for cyclin D2, may contribute to these processes. If so, regional brain development should be affected by alteration of cyclin expression. To test this hypothesis, the representation of specific cell types was examined in the cerebellum of animals lacking cyclin D2. The loss of this cyclin primarily affected two neuronal populations: granule cell number was reduced and stellate interneurons were nearly absent. Differences between null and wild-type siblings were obvious by the second postnatal week. Decreases in granule cell number arose from both reduction in primary neurogenesis and increase in apoptosis of cells that fail to differentiate. The dearth of stellate cells in the molecular layer indicates that emergence of this subpopulation requires cyclin D2 expression. Surprisingly, Golgi and basket interneurons, thought to originate from the same precursor pool as stellate cells, appear unaffected. These results suggest that cyclin D2 is required in cerebellum not only for proliferation of the granule cell precursors but also for proper differentiation of granule and stellate interneurons. 相似文献

Cyclin D3 compensates for loss of cyclin D2 in mouse B-lymphocytes activated via the antigen receptor and CD40 总被引:13,自引:0,他引:13

Cyclin D2 is the only D-type cyclin expressed in mature mouse B-lymphocytes, and its expression is associated with retinoblastoma protein (pRB) and pRB-related protein phosphorylation and induction of E2F activity, as B-cells enter the cell cycle following stimulation via surface IgM and/or CD40. Cyclin D-dependent kinase activity is required for cell proliferation, yet cyclin D2(-/-) mice have normal levels of mature B-lymphocytes. Here we show that B-lymphocytes from cyclin D2(-/-) mice can proliferate in response to anti-IgM and anti-CD40, but the time taken to enter S-phase is longer than for the corresponding cyclin D2(+/+) cells. This is due to the compensatory induction of cyclin D3, but not cyclin D1, which causes pRb phosphorylation on CDK4-specific sites. This is the first demonstration that loss of a D-type cyclin causes specific expression and functional compensation by another member of the family in vivo and provides a rationale for the presence of mature B-lymphocytes in cyclin D2(-/-) mice. 相似文献

The discovery of 2-methylene-19-nor-1alpha,25-dihydroxyvitamin D3 (2MD) as a bone selective and bone anabolic form of vitamin D has stimulated an investigation of structure/function of bone selectivity. Four new 2-substituted-19-norvitamin D analogs 3-6 have been developed to study the structure-activity relationship at C-25. As predicted, removing the 25-hydroxy group (compound 3) from the very potent analog 2MD and its 2-methyl derivatives (5 and 6) dramatically reduces in vitro activities, but biological potency is nearly fully restored in vivo likely due to in vivo 25-hydroxylation. The introduction of a methyl group at C-25 (compound 4) that blocks in vivo 25-hydroxylation reduces biological activity both in vitro and in vivo. However, analog 4 retains bone selectivity making it interesting as a possible therapeutic for bone loss diseases. 相似文献

Our recent studies with 2-(3'-hydroxypropylidene) analogs of 1alpha,25-dihydroxy-19-norvitamin D(3) showed that this 2-substituent creates compounds with very potent biological activity. In the continuing search for vitamin D compounds with selective activity profiles, we prepared a series of 1alpha-hydroxy-19-norvitamin D analogs characterized by the presence of a 3'-hydroxypropylidene substituent at C-2 and a truncated side chain. These vitamin D compounds were efficiently prepared using convergent syntheses. The C,D-fragments, namely the Grundmann ketones 19, 20, 27, 36 and 37 were synthesized from the known 8beta-benzoyloxy-22-aldehydes 12 and 29. These hydrindanones were subjected to Lythgoe type Wittig-Horner coupling with phosphine oxide 21, prepared by us previously, and after hydroxyl deprotection the set of 19-norvitamins 7-11 was successfully obtained. According to our expectations, all analogs (with an exception of the 20R-compound 7) have pronounced in vitro activity. When compared to the natural hormone 1alpha,25-(OH)(2)D(3) (1), they show the same or only slightly reduced affinity for the vitamin D receptor while being similarly effective as 1 in differentiation of HL-60 cells into monocytes. 相似文献
