Primary cultures prepared from newborn rat brain, consisted after 16 or 17 days mainly of astrocytes and of oligodendrocytes. 1-Alkenyl-sn-glycero-3-phosphoethanolamine (lysoplasmalogen) was used as substrate for studies on the metabolism of ethanolamine-glycerophospholipids. After 3 hr incubation two main products were observed: a) 1-alkenyl-2-acyl-sn-glycero-3-phosphoethanolamine (=ethanolamine plasmalogen) and b) 1-alkenyl-2-acyl-sn-glycero-3-phosphocholine (=choline plasmalogen). The acylation rate reached saturation at about 10 nmol substrate/mg cell protein with aV
max of 30 nmol×mg cell protein–1×3 hr–1. This acylated compound amounted to almost 60% of all radioactivity internalized, whereas the second product, choline plasmalogen, came to 20%. Unchanged substrate was found within the cells only in small amounts, even at maximum substrate internalization. These results were discussed in comparison with those obtained with 1-alkyl-sn-glycero-3-phosphoethanolamine under the same conditions (25). 相似文献

The orbitofrontal cortex (OFC) and piriform cortex are involved in encoding the predictive value of olfactory stimuli in rats, and neural responses to olfactory stimuli in these areas change as associations are learned. This experience-dependent plasticity mirrors task-related changes previously observed in mesocortical dopamine neurons, which have been implicated in learning the predictive value of cues. Although forms of associative learning can be found at all ages, cortical dopamine projections do not mature until after postnatal day 35 in the rat. We hypothesized that these changes in dopamine circuitry during the juvenile and adolescent periods would result in age-dependent differences in learning the predictive value of environmental cues. Using an odor-guided associative learning task, we found that adolescent rats learn the association between an odor and a palatable reward significantly more slowly than either juvenile or adult rats. Further, adolescent rats displayed greater distractibility during the task than either juvenile or adult rats. Using real-time quantitative PCR and immunohistochemical methods, we observed that the behavioral deficit in adolescence coincides with a significant increase in D1 dopamine receptor expression compared to juvenile rats in both the OFC and piriform cortex. Further, we found that both the slower learning and increased distractibility exhibited in adolescence could be alleviated by experience with the association task as a juvenile, or by an acute administration of a low dose of either the dopamine D1 receptor agonist SKF-38393 or the D2 receptor antagonist eticlopride. These results suggest that dopaminergic modulation of cortical function may be important for learning the predictive value of environmental stimuli, and that developmental changes in cortical dopaminergic circuitry may underlie age-related differences in associative learning. 相似文献

Structure–activity relationship (SAR) studies on a highly potent series of arylamide FMS inhibitors were carried out with the aim of improving FMS kinase selectivity, particularly over KIT. Potent compound 17r (FMS IC50 0.7 nM, FMS cell IC50 6.1 nM) was discovered that had good PK properties and a greater than fivefold improvement in selectivity for FMS over KIT kinase in a cellular assay relative to the previously reported clinical candidate 4. This improved selectivity was manifested in vivo by no observed decrease in circulating reticulocytes, a measure of bone safety, at the highest studied dose. Compound 17r was highly active in a mouse pharmacodynamic model and demonstrated disease-modifying effects in a dose-dependent manner in a strep cell wall-induced arthritis model of rheumatoid arthritis in rats. 相似文献

Background
Obesity is a major health problem. Although heritability is substantial, genetic mechanisms predisposing to obesity are not very well understood. We have performed a genome wide association study (GWA) for early onset (extreme) obesity.Methodology/Principal Findings
a) GWA (Genome-Wide Human SNP Array 5.0 comprising 440,794 single nucleotide polymorphisms) for early onset extreme obesity based on 487 extremely obese young German individuals and 442 healthy lean German controls; b) confirmatory analyses on 644 independent families with at least one obese offspring and both parents. We aimed to identify and subsequently confirm the 15 SNPs (minor allele frequency ≥10%) with the lowest p-values of the GWA by four genetic models: additive, recessive, dominant and allelic. Six single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) in FTO (fat mass and obesity associated gene) within one linkage disequilibrium (LD) block including the GWA SNP rendering the lowest p-value (rs1121980; log-additive model: nominal p = 1.13×10−7, corrected p = 0.0494; odds ratio (OR)CT 1.67, 95% confidence interval (CI) 1.22–2.27; ORTT 2.76, 95% CI 1.88–4.03) belonged to the 15 SNPs showing the strongest evidence for association with obesity. For confirmation we genotyped 11 of these in the 644 independent families (of the six FTO SNPs we chose only two representing the LD bock). For both FTO SNPs the initial association was confirmed (both Bonferroni corrected p<0.01). However, none of the nine non-FTO SNPs revealed significant transmission disequilibrium.Conclusions/Significance
Our GWA for extreme early onset obesity substantiates that variation in FTO strongly contributes to early onset obesity. This is a further proof of concept for GWA to detect genes relevant for highly complex phenotypes. We concurrently show that nine additional SNPs with initially low p-values in the GWA were not confirmed in our family study, thus suggesting that of the best 15 SNPs in the GWA only the FTO SNPs represent true positive findings. 相似文献6.

A study of the S1 binding of lead 5-methylthiothiophene amidine 3, an inhibitor of urokinase-type plasminogen activator, was undertaken by the introduction of a variety of substituents at the thiophene 5-position. The 5-alkyl substituted and unsubstituted thiophenes were prepared using organolithium chemistry. Heteroatom substituents were introduced at the 5-position using a novel displacement reaction of 5-methylsulfonylthiophenes and the corresponding oxygen or sulfur anions. Small alkyl group substitution at the 5-position provided inhibitors equipotent with but possessing improved solubility. 相似文献

Microarthropod communities in the soil and on the bark of trees were investigated along an elevation gradient (1,850, 2,000,
2,150, 2,300 m) in a tropical montane rain forest in southern Ecuador. We hypothesised that the density of microarthropods
declines with depth in soil and increases with increasing altitude mainly due to the availability of resources, i.e. organic
matter. In addition, we expected bark and soil communities to differ strongly, since the bark of trees is more exposed to
harsher factors. In contrast to our hypothesis, the density of major microarthropod groups (Collembola, Oribatida, Gamasina,
Uropodina) was generally low and decreased with altitude. However, as we predicted the density of each of the groups decreased
with soil depth. Density of microarthropods on tree bark was lower than in soil. Overall, 43 species of oribatid mites were
found, with the most abundant higher taxa being Poronota, pycnonotic Apheredermata, Mixonomata and Eupheredermata. The oribatid
mite community on bark did not differ significantly from that in soil. The number of oribatid mite species declined with altitude
(24, 23, 17 and 13 species at 1,850, 2,000, 2,150 and 2,300 m, respectively). Rarefaction curves indicate that overall about
50 oribatid mite species are to be expected along the studied altitudinal gradient. Results of this study indicate (1) that
microarthropods may be limited by the quality of resources at high altitudes and by the amount of resources at deeper soil
layers, and (2) that the bark of trees and the soil are habitats of similar quality for oribatid mites. 相似文献

Combining pharmacological treatments and life style interventions is necessary for effective therapy of major diseases associated with obesity, which are clustered in the metabolic syndrome. Acting via multiple mechanisms, combination treatments may reduce dose requirements and, therefore, lower the risk of adverse side effects, which are usually associated with long-term pharmacological interventions. Our previous study in mice fed high-fat diet indicated additivity in preservation of insulin sensitivity and in amelioration of major metabolic syndrome phenotypes by the combination treatment using n-3 long-chain polyunsaturated fatty acids (n-3 LC-PUFA) and rosiglitazone, i.e. an anti-diabetic drug of the thiazolidinedione (TZD) family. We investigated here whether pioglitazone, a TZD-drug in clinical use, could elicit the additive beneficial effects when combined with n-3 LC-PUFA. Adult male mice (C57BL/6N) were fed an obesogenic corn oil-based high-fat diet (cHF) for 8 weeks, or randomly assigned to various dietary treatments (i) cHF+F, cHF with n-3 LC-PUFA concentrate replacing 15% of dietary lipids; (ii) cHF+ROSI, cHF with 10 mg rosiglitazone/kg diet; (iii) cHF+F+ROSI; (iv) cHF+PIO, cHF with 50 mg pioglitazone/kg diet; and (v) cHF+F+PIO, or chow-fed. Plasma concentrations of 163 metabolites were evaluated using a targeted metabolomics approach. Both TZDs preserved glucose homeostasis and normal plasma lipid levels while inducing adiponectin, with pioglitazone showing better effectiveness. The beneficial effects of TZDs were further augmented by the combination treatments. cHF+F+ROSI but not cHF+F+PIO counteracted development of obesity, in correlation with inducibility of fatty acid β-oxidation, as revealed by the metabolomic analysis. By contrast, only cHF+F+PIO eliminated hepatic steatosis and this treatment also reversed insulin resistance in dietary obese mice. Our results reveal differential effects of rosiglitazone and pioglitazone, unmasked in the combination treatment with n-3 LC-PUFA, and support the notion that n-3 LC-PUFA could be used as add-on treatment to TZDs in order to improve diabetic patient's therapy. 相似文献

The relationship between humoral immunity to hsp60 and type 2 diabetes along with other relevant metabolic, inflammatory and immunogenetic variables was studied in 76 non-diabetic and 74 diabetic persons aged 55-74 years selected from the population-based KORA Survey 2000. Antibodies to human hsp60 were measured in serum samples by ELISA. Hsp60 antibodies were detected in all but two individuals in a considerable range of titres (22-1,856 AU/ml). There was no significant association to age and sex, or to key clinical or metabolic parameters (BMI, WHR, HbA1c, total cholesterol, LDL cholesterol, HDL cholesterol, systolic and diastolic blood pressure, albumin, uric acid) or immunological parameters (CRP, IL-6, sIL-6R, TNFalpha, sTNFalpha R60, sTNFalpha R80). Analysis of antibody-positive individuals revealed an association between hsp60 antibodies and diabetes at borderline significance (p = 0.047), which was lost when the two antibody-negative individuals were included. Genetic analyses indicated that this association was significant in carriers of the C allele of the IL-6 promoter region polymorphism at nucleotide -174 (p = 0.02), but not in GG genotype carriers. We conclude that humoral immunity to human hsp60 may be enhanced in those diabetic patients carrying the -174C allele of the IL-6 gene. This finding may contribute to an understanding of the relationship between the -174C allele and increased risk of atherosclerosis. 相似文献
