The isoelectric point of the camel and the human β-endorphin, of the α-endorphin and the enkephalins were determined by analytical isoelectric focusing on 1 mm thin polyacrylamide gel slab. The difficulty of staining peptides as short as β-endorphin or smaller was overcomed using a modification of Bibring and Baxandall's or Faupel and Von Arx's staining method. The camel β-endorphin gives two bands having isoelectric point of 10.3 and 10.4, the human β-endorphin focus at pH 9.9, while α-endorphin, leu and met-enkephalin at pH 5.9, 5.5 and 5.45 respectively. The staining method described coupled with the isoelectric focusing seems to be fit for discriminating β-endorphin in a crude rat pituitary extract. 相似文献

In the skeletal muscle, the ageing process is characterized by a loss of muscle mass and strength, coupled with a decline of mitochondrial function and a decrease of satellite cells. This profile is more pronounced in hindlimb than in forelimb muscles, both in humans and in rodents. Utilizing light and electron microscopy, myosin heavy chain isoform distribution, proteomic analysis by 2D‐DIGE, MALDI‐TOF MS and quantitative immunoblotting, this study analyzes the protein levels and the nuclear localization of specific molecules, which can contribute to a preferential muscle loss. Our results identify the molecular changes in the hindlimb (gastrocnemius) and forelimb (triceps) muscles during ageing in rats (3‐ and 22‐month‐old). Specifically, the oxidative metabolism contributes to tissue homeostasis in triceps, whereas respiratory chain disruption and oxidative‐stress‐induced damage imbalance the homeostasis in gastrocnemius muscle. High levels of dihydrolipoyllysine‐residue acetyltransferase (Dlat) and ATP synthase subunit alpha (Atp5a1) are detected in triceps and gastrocnemius, respectively. Interestingly, in triceps, both molecules are increased in the nucleus in aged rats and are associated to an increased protein acetylation and myoglobin availability. Furthermore, autophagy is retained in triceps whereas an enhanced fusion, decrement of mitophagy and of regenerative potential is observed in aged gastrocnemius muscle. 相似文献

Sialolithiasis represents the most common disorders of salivary glands in middle-aged patients. It has been hypothesized that the retrograde migration of bacteria from the oral cavity to gland ducts may facilitate the formation of stones. Thus, in the present study, a microbiome characterization of salivary calculi was performed to evaluate the abundance and the potential correlations between microorganisms constituting the salivary calculi microbiota. Our data supported the presence of a core microbiota of sialoliths constituted principally by Streptococcus spp., Fusobacterium spp. and Eikenella spp., along with the presence of important pathogens commonly involved in infective sialoadenitis. 相似文献

Elaiophores seems to be uncommon in Orchidaceae; however, the number of known species with floral oil glands has increased in recent years, principally in Oncidiinae. Oil rewards are used by bees of the tribes Centridini, Tapinotaspidini and Tetrapediini. Our aims were to identify the presence of elaiophores and to describe their structure in species of Gomesa, Grandiphyllum and Trichocentrum, and to compare our results with other studies of elaiophores in Oncidiinae. We selected a set of characters presumably associated with oil production in flowers of Oncidiinae, which were evaluated using a cluster analysis to identify different floral morphologies of the oil flowers. The correlation between morphological types of oil flowers and species of pollinators was examined. The cluster analysis distinguished two groups of species, one of them principally linked with pollination by bees of genus Centris and the other type associated to species of Paratetrapedia and Tetrapedia. The evaluation of these results into a phylogenetic framework of the Oncidiinae, adding more evidence that species of this subtribe with similar floral morphology associated with floral oil secretion arise in many independent clades, in parallel evolution with the oil-bee pollination. 相似文献

Mutations in the lamin A/C gene (LMNA) were associated with dilated cardiomyopathy (DCM) and, recently, were related to severe forms of arrhythmogenic right ventricular cardiomyopathy (ARVC). Both genetic and phenotypic overlap between DCM and ARVC was observed; molecular pathomechanisms leading to the cardiac phenotypes caused by LMNA mutations are not yet fully elucidated. This study involved a large Italian family, spanning 4 generations, with arrhythmogenic cardiomyopathy of different phenotypes, including ARVC, DCM, system conduction defects, ventricular arrhythmias, and sudden cardiac death. Mutation screening of LMNA and ARVC-related genes PKP2, DSP, DSG2, DSC2, JUP, and CTNNA3 was performed. We identified a novel heterozygous mutation (c.418_438dup) in LMNA gene exon 2, occurring in a highly conserved protein domain across several species. This newly identified variant was not found in 250 ethnically-matched control subjects. Genotype-phenotype correlation studies suggested a co-segregation of the LMNA mutation with the disease phenotype and an incomplete and age-related penetrance. Based on clinical, pedigree, and molecular genetic data, this mutation was considered likely disease-causing. To clarify its potential pathophysiologic impact, functional characterization of this LMNA mutant was performed in cultured cardiomyocytes expressing EGFP-tagged wild-type and mutated LMNA constructs, and indicated an increased nuclear envelope fragility, leading to stress-induced apoptosis as the main pathogenetic mechanism. This study further expands the role of the LMNA gene in the pathogenesis of cardiac laminopathies, suggesting that LMNA should be included in mutation screening of patients with suspected arrhythmogenic cardiomyopathy, particularly when they have ECG evidence for conduction defects. The combination of clinical, genetic, and functional data contribute insights into the pathogenesis of this form of life-threatening arrhythmogenic cardiac laminopathy. 相似文献

In this paper we summarize for the first time the effects of agriculture expansion and intensification on animal diversity
in the Pampas of Argentina and discuss research needs for biodiversity conservation in the area. The Pampas experienced little
human intervention until the last decades of the 19th century. Agriculture expanded quickly during the 20th century, transforming
grasslands into cropland and pasture lands and converting the landscape into a mosaic of natural fragments, agricultural fields,
and linear habitats. In the 1980s, agriculture intensification and replacement of cattle grazing-cropping systems by continuous
cropping promoted a renewed homogenisation of the most productive areas. Birds and carnivores were more strongly affected
than rodents and insects, but responses varied within groups: (a) the geographic ranges and/or abundances of many native species
were reduced, including those of carnivores, herbivores, and specialist species (grassland-adapted birds and rodents, and
probably specialized pollinators), sometimes leading to regional extinction (birds and large carnivores), (b) other native
species were unaffected (birds) or benefited (bird, rodent and possibly generalist pollinator and crop-associated insect species),
(c) novel species were introduced, thus increasing species richness of most groups (26% of non-rodent mammals, 11.1% of rodents,
6.2% of birds, 0.8% of pollinators). Much taxonomic and ecological work is still needed to understand Pampean animal biodiversity,
to understand how agriculturization is affecting it, and to identify appropriate conservation actions. Networks of Important
Bird Areas and Valuable Grassland Areas harbor a balanced representation of Pampean biodiversity and, if adequately protected,
may provide valuable research sites, but complementary work should be carried out on agriculturized areas. 相似文献
