ADP-stimulated aggregation of bovine blood platelets was observed in media containing isotonic potassium salts of various monovalent anions. The aggregation depended on the anion in the medium, the order of aggregation being Cl?, Br?>I?>SCN?, ClO4?. After 30-min incubation, the extent of aggregation of platelets in Cl? or Br? medium was little changed, whereas, that in SCN? or ClO4? medium was remarkably decreased. This anion dependency of aggregation may be due to change in the membrane potential.  相似文献

The TRIC channel subtypes, namely TRIC-A and TRIC-B, are intracellular monovalent cation-specific channels and likely mediate counterion movements to support efficient Ca2+ release from the sarco/endoplasmic reticulum. Vascular smooth muscle cells (VSMCs) contain both TRIC subtypes and two Ca2+ release mechanisms; incidental opening of ryanodine receptors (RyRs) generates local Ca2+ sparks to induce hyperpolarization and relaxation, whereas agonist-induced activation of inositol trisphosphate receptors produces global Ca2+ transients causing contraction. Tric-a knock-out mice develop hypertension due to insufficient RyR-mediated Ca2+ sparks in VSMCs. Here we describe transgenic mice overexpressing TRIC-A channels under the control of a smooth muscle cell-specific promoter. The transgenic mice developed congenital hypotension. In Tric-a-overexpressing VSMCs from the transgenic mice, the resting membrane potential decreased because RyR-mediated Ca2+ sparks were facilitated and cell surface Ca2+-dependent K+ channels were hyperactivated. Under such hyperpolarized conditions, L-type Ca2+ channels were inactivated, and thus, the resting intracellular Ca2+ levels were reduced in Tric-a-overexpressing VSMCs. Moreover, Tric-a overexpression impaired inositol trisphosphate-sensitive stores to diminish agonist-induced Ca2+ signaling in VSMCs. These altered features likely reduced vascular tonus leading to the hypotensive phenotype. Our Tric-a-transgenic mice together with Tric-a knock-out mice indicate that TRIC-A channel density in VSMCs is responsible for controlling basal blood pressure at the whole-animal level.  相似文献

Odorant-binding proteins (OBPs) are extracellular proteins found in insect chemosensilla, where they participate in the sensing of odors, tastes, and pheromones. Although a large number of OBP genes have been identified in insect genomes, their molecular functions and biological roles have been clarified in limited cases. Two OBP genes, Obp57d and Obp57e, were involved in the evolution of host-plant preference in Drosophila sechellia. Comparative analyses of the Obp57d/e genomic sequences from 27 closely related species suggested that the two genes arose by tandem gene duplication and functionally diverged from each other. In this study, the functional evolution of Obp57d and Obp57e was examined by in vitro binding assays using recombinant proteins synthesized in a bacterial system. Compared to the ancestral Dpse\OBP57de, Dmel\OBP57d was more specialized to tridecanoic acid while Dmel\OBP57e was generalized regarding their binding affinity, suggesting that the two OBP genes underwent subfunctionalization and neofunctionalization. A behavioral analysis using knockout flies supported that the biological role is different between OBP57d and OBP57e in vivo. Site-directed mutagenesis of the evolutionarily conserved amino acids revealed that these residues play an important role in protein folding. These findings provide a clue to understanding how the repertoire of OBP genes is maintained in a genome under natural selection.  相似文献

Dendritic cells (DC) manipulate tissue homeostasis by recognizing dying cells and controlling immune functions. However, the precise mechanisms by which DC recognize different types of dying cells and devise distinct immunologic consequences remain largely obscure. Herein, we demonstrate that Milk-fat globule-EGF VIII (MFG-E8) is a critical mediator controlling DC immunogenicity in inflammatory microenvironments. MFG-E8 restrains DC-mediated uptake and recognition of necrotic cells. The MFG-E8-mediated suppression of necrotic cell uptake by DC resulted in the decreased proinflammatory cytokines production and activated signal components such as STAT3 and A20, which are critical to maintain tolerogenic properties of DC. Furthermore, the DC-derived MFG-E8 negatively regulates the cross-priming and effector functions of antigen-specific T cells upon recognition of necrotic cells. MFG-E8 deficiency enhances an ability of necrotic cell-primed DC to stimulate antitumor immune responses against established tumors. Our findings define what we believe to a novel mechanism whereby MFG-E8 regulates the immunogenicity of DC by modulating the modes of recognition of dying cells. Manipulating MFG-E8 levels in DC may serve as a useful strategy for controlling inflammatory microenvironments caused by various pathological conditions including cancer and autoimmunity.  相似文献

In the silkworm, Bombyx mori, major plasma proteins referred to as 30K proteins are the most abundant proteins in the hemolymph of final (fifth) instar larvae. Surgical extirpation of corpora allata, the source of a juvenile hormone (JH), causes rapid accumulation of 30K proteins in the hemolymph of fourth instar larvae. The 30K protein 6G1 (30K6G1) gene was repressed in primary cultured fat body cells treated with a JH analog (JHA), methoprene. To identify the JH response element present in the promoter region of the 30K6G1 gene, we performed transfection analyses of the 5'-deletion mutants of the 30K6G1 gene using primary cultured fat body cells, gel retardation assays and in vivo footprinting analysis. The results from those analyses revealed that a JH response element exists in the sequence between positions -147 and -140. When the promoter construct mutated at positions -143, -142, and -141 was transfected to fat body primary cultured cells, the suppression effect on the reporter gene expression caused by JHA was reduced. Gel retardation assay using specific antibody revealed that a PBX protein binds to the JH response element. Northern blot analysis revealed that the gene expression of Bombyx PBX is enhanced in the fat body cells by JHA treatment. These results indicate that PBX proteins are involved in the JH signaling pathway and play an important role in suppressing 30K protein gene expression in the fat body of B. mori.  相似文献

Activation of receptor tyrosine kinases leads to the formation of two different types of plasma membrane structures: peripheral ruffles and dorsal ruffles. Although the formation of both ruffle types requires activation of the small GTPase Rac, the difference in kinetics suggests that a distinct regulatory mechanism operates for their ruffle formation. DOCK1 and DOCK5 are atypical Rac activators and are both expressed in mouse embryonic fibroblasts (MEFs). We found that although PDGF-induced Rac activation and peripheral ruffle formation were coordinately regulated by DOCK1 and DOCK5 in MEFs, DOCK1 deficiency alone impaired dorsal ruffle formation in MEFs. Unlike DOCK5, DOCK1 bound to phosphatidic acid (PA) through the C-terminal polybasic amino acid cluster and was localized to dorsal ruffles. When this interaction was blocked, PDGF-induced dorsal ruffle formation was severely impaired. In addition, we show that phospholipase D, an enzyme that catalyzes PA synthesis, is required for PDGF-induced dorsal, but not peripheral, ruffle formation. These results indicate that the phospholipase D-PA axis selectively controls dorsal ruffle formation by regulating DOCK1 localization.  相似文献

Cell migration and phagocytosis ensue from extracellular-initiated signaling cascades that orchestrate dynamic reorganization of the actin cytoskeleton. The reorganization is mediated by effector proteins recruited to the site of activity by locally-generated lipid second messengers. Phosphatidic acid (PA), a membrane phospholipid generated by multiple enzyme families including Phospholipase D (PLD), has been proposed to function in this role. Here, we show that macrophages prepared from mice lacking either of the classical PLD isoforms PLD1 or PLD2, or wild-type macrophages whose PLD activity has been pharmacologically inhibited, display isoform-specific actin cytoskeleton abnormalities that likely underlie decreases observed in phagocytic capacity. Unexpectedly, PA continued to be detected on the phagosome in the absence of either isoform and even when all PLD activity was eliminated. However, a disorganized phagocytic cup was observed as visualized by imaging PA, F-actin, Rac1, an organizer of the F-actin network, and DOCK2, a Rac1 activator, suggesting that PLD-mediated PA production during phagocytosis is specifically critical for the integrity of the process. The abnormal F-actin reorganization additionally impacted neutrophil migration and extravasation from the vasculature into interstitial tissues. Although both PLD1 and PLD2 were important in these processes, we also observed isoform-specific functions. PLD1-driven processes in particular were observed to be critical in transmigration of macrophages exiting the vasculature during immune responses such as those seen in acute pancreatitis or irritant-induced skin vascularization.  相似文献

Phenoloxidase (PO), a melanin-forming enzyme around the foreign bodies, is an important component of the host defense system in invertebrates. Pro-PO is the enzymatically inactive zymogen form of PO. In the Drosophila genome, three Pro-PO isoforms have been identified to date. These include Pro-PO1 and 2, which are primarily expressed in crystal cells, and Pro-PO3, which is predominantly found in the lamellocytes. In this study, we demonstrated that Drosophila Pro-PO3, but not Pro-PO1 or 2, is enzymatically active in its zymogen form. These findings were evidenced by spectacular melanin forming capacities of various cells and tissues that overexpressed these proenzymes. Furthermore, the melanization phenotype observed in the lamellocyte-enriched hop(Tum-1) mutant was drastically reduced in the absence of PPO3, indicating that PPO3 plays a major role in the lamellocyte-mediated spontaneous melanization process. Taken together, these findings indicate that the biochemical properties, activation mode and in vivo role of Pro-PO3 are likely distinct from those of the other two Pro-PO enzymes involved in Drosophila physiology.  相似文献

Canagliflozin (1), a novel inhibitor for sodium-dependent glucose cotransporter 2 (SGLT2), has been developed for the treatment of type 2 diabetes. To investigate the effect of replacement of the phenyl ring in 1 with heteroaromatics, C-glucosides 2 were designed, synthesized, and evaluated for their inhibitory activities against SGLT2. Of these, 3-pyridyl, 2-pyrimidyl or 5-membered heteroaryl substituted derivatives showed highly potent inhibitory activity against SGLT2, while 5-pyrimidyl substitution was associated with slightly reduced activity. In particular, 2g (TA-3404) had remarkable anti-hyperglycemic effects in high-fat diet fed KK (HF-KK) mice.  相似文献

To investigate the seasonal prevalence of Dasylepida ishigakiensis Niijima et Kinoshita (Coleoptera: Scarabaeidae), synthetic sex pheromone traps were placed on Ishigaki Island in 2008 and 2009. One population is known to occur in the forest and fly for mating from early March to early April. The trap data revealed a second population in the farmland that flew for mating much earlier (mid-January to late February) than did the other population, indicating the presence of allochronic populations. Adults of the farmland population were caught throughout the sugarcane-grown area on the island, whereas those of the forest population appeared to be limited to the forest area. The temporal pattern of trap catches of each population was generally the same between 2008 and 2009. Relatively large trap catches were observed in the west central plane area and a small northern area of the northeastern peninsula of the island. These results suggest that, although it has not caused any damage to agricultural crops on this island, this beetle might be a potentially serious pest of sugarcane crops in the future, as reported on another island of Okinawa.  相似文献
