The ability of parthenogenetically activated mouse eggs to establish a plasma membrane (PM) block to sperm penetration was studied. Zona-free eggs preloaded with Hoechst 33342 were activated by exposure to ethanol or OAG (1-oleoyl-2-acetyl-sn-glycerol) and inseminated after different periods. Eggs challenged with sperm at 30- or 60-min postactivation displayed a fertilization frequency significantly lower than that of control eggs. Conversely, when insemination was carried out at 120-min postactivation, the proportion of fertilized eggs was equivalent to that observed in the control group. Moreover, we report that when the eggs were induced to resume meiosis without any notable loss of CGs (egg exposure to OAG at 100 μM external Ca2+ or to heat shock), a normal ability to be penetrated was recorded at 30-min postactivation. Similar behaviour was exhibited by eggs that underwent a CG exocytosis close to that triggered by sperm in absence of nuclear activation (microinjection of inositol 1,4,5-trisphosphate into the egg at 1 μM cytosolic concentration). Present data support the conclusion that parthenogenetically activated mouse eggs are capable of a transitory PM block response that requires both CG exocytosis and meiosis resumption to occur. © 1994 Wiley-Liss, Inc. 相似文献

A physical map of Neurospora crassa mitochondrial DNA has been constructed using specific fragments obtained with restriction endonucleases. The DNA has 5 cleavage sites for endonuclease Bam HI, 12 for endonuclease Eco RI and more than 30 for endonuclease Hind III. The sequence of the Eco RI and Bam HI fragments has been established by analysis of partial fragments. By digestion of the Eco RI fragments with Bam HI, a complete overlapping map has been constructed. The position of the largest Hind III fragment on this map has also been determined. The map is circular and the added molecular weight of the fragments is 40 - 10(6), which is in good agreement with earlier measurements on intact DNA, using the electron microscope. 相似文献

The biogenesis of rat mitochondrial ATPase. Two subunits are synthesized inside the mitochondria 总被引:3,自引:0,他引:3
Isolated mitochondria from regenerating rat liver synthesize at least five different polypeptides with molecular weights ranging from 19 000 to 43 000. Among these, two polypeptides with molecular weights of 22 000 and 25 ooo could be identified as ATPase subunits. It has previously been shown that these subunits, designated 6 and 7, are lacking in the ATPase complex that is formed in vivo when mitochondrial protein synthesis is blocked by thiamphenicol treatment. The 22 000 Mr protein is enriched in the fraction containing the fully assembled ATPase complex, whereas the 25 000 Mr protein is not. 相似文献

Treatment of rats with thiamphenicol in a dose of 125 mg/kg per day for 60–64 h causes specific inhibition of mitochondrial protein synthesis, leading to a drastic decrease of the cytochrome c oxidase activity in intestinal epithelium. At the same time the mitochondrial ATPase activity becomes resistant to inhibition by oligomycin. Experiments with isolated intestinal mitochondria revealed that respiration in state 3 is diminished by 55% with succinate (5 mM) and by 40% with pyruvate (10 mM) plus L-malate (2 mM) as the substrates, both as compared to intestinal mitochondria isolated from control rats. P : O ratios as well as respiratory control indices are comparable in the two groups of animals. Uncoupled respiration is inhibited by 35% with succinate as the substrate, while the succinate cytochrome c reductase activity remains unaltered. No inhibition of uncoupled respiration with pyruvate plus L-malate as the substrates was observed. The ATP-Pi exchange activity in the mitochondria from the treated animals is diminished by about 75%. It is concluded that in the mitochondria of the treated animals the inhibition of the coupled respiration (state 3) is caused by the limitation of the ATP-generating capacity and that electron transport is rate limiting only with the rapidly oxidized substrates such as succinate, if respiration is uncoupled. 相似文献

Crude mitochondrial preparations from Neurospora crassa contain high levels of lysophospholipase (EC 3.1.1.5) activity when assayed with lysophosphatidylcholine as a substrate. In mitochondria purified by centrifugation on a sucrose-density gradient this activity is virtually absent. The enzyme was shown to be linked to a contaminating cell fraction which mainly consists of cell-wall material as was demonstrated by electron microscopy and chemical analysis. The enzyme has no absolute Ca2+ requirement but it is slightly stimulated by 10 mM CaCl2. The pH optimum is 5.8 in presence of CaCl2 and is shifted to 4.2 when EDTA is present. In contrast to other lysophospholipases this enzyme is only slightly inhibited by deoxycholate. This detergent is able to release part of the lysophospholipase activity from the wall fragments without producing an increase in specific activity. The enzyme is possibly secreted by the cells as high lysophospholipase activities were also found in the culture medium. 相似文献

Introduction
The pathophysiology of acute kidney injury (AKI) after cardiac surgery is not completely understood. Recent evidence suggests a pivotal role for the endothelium in AKI. In experimental models of AKI, the endothelial specific receptor Tie2 with its ligands Angiopoietin (Ang) 1 and Ang2 are deranged. This study investigates their status after cardiac surgery, and a possible relation between angiopoietins and AKI.Methods
From a cohort of 541 patients that underwent cardiac surgery, blood and urine was collected at 5 predefined time points. From this cohort we identified 21 patients who had at least 50% post-operative serum creatinine increase (AKI). We constructed a control group (n = 21) using propensity matching. Systemic levels of Ang1, Ang2, and sTie2 were measured in plasma and the AKI markers albumin, kidney injury molecule-1 (KIM-1) and N-acetyl-beta-D-glucosaminidase (NAG) were measured in the urine.Results
Ang2 plasma levels increased over time in AKI (from 4.2 to 11.6 ng/ml) and control patients (from 3.0 to 6.7 ng/ml). Ang2 levels increased 1.7-fold more in patients who developed AKI after cardiac surgery compared to matched control patients. Plasma levels of sTie2 decreased 1.6-fold and Ang1 decreased 3-fold over time in both groups, but were not different between AKI and controls (Ang1 P = 0.583 and sTie2 P = 0.679). Moreover, we found a positive correlation between plasma levels of Ang2 and urinary levels of NAG.Conclusions
The endothelial Ang/Tie2 system is in dysbalance in patients that develop AKI after cardiac surgery compared to matched control patients. 相似文献10.

Together with mesangial cells, glomerular endothelial cells and the basement membrane, podocytes constitute the glomerular filtration barrier (GFB) of the kidney. Podocytes play a pivotal role in the progression of various kidney-related diseases such as glomerular sclerosis and glomerulonephritis that finally lead to chronic end-stage renal disease. During podocytopathies, the slit-diaphragm connecting the adjacent podocytes are detached leading to severe loss of proteins in the urine. The pathophysiology of podocytopathies makes podocytes a potential and challenging target for nanomedicine development, though there is a lack of known molecular targets for cell selective drug delivery. To identify VCAM-1 as a cell-surface receptor that is suitable for binding and internalization of nanomedicine carrier systems by podocytes, we investigated its expression in the immortalized podocyte cell lines AB8/13 and MPC-5, and in primary podocytes. Gene and protein expression analyses revealed that VCAM-1 expression is increased by podocytes upon TNFα-activation for up to 24 h. This was paralleled by anti-VCAM-1 antibody binding to the TNFα-activated cells, which can be employed as a ligand to facilitate the uptake of nanocarriers under inflammatory conditions. Hence, we next explored the possibilities of using VCAM-1 as a cell-surface receptor to deliver the potent immunosuppressant rapamycin to TNFα-activated podocytes using the lipid-based nanocarrier system Saint-O-Somes. Anti-VCAM-1-rapamycin-SAINT-O-Somes more effectively inhibited the cell migration of AB8/13 cells than free rapamycin and non-targeted rapamycin-SAINT-O-Somes indicating the potential of VCAM-1 targeted drug delivery to podocytes. 相似文献
