Treatment of monoblastoid U-937 cells with low concentrations of H2O2 caused adhesion of the cells to plastic. The H2O2 induced adhesion was rapid with a t1/2 of congruent to 6 min and was optimally stimulated by 100 microM H2O2 with an ED50 of congruent to 50 microM. The response to H2O2 closely resembled the adhesive response of U-937 cells to phorbol esters in its time dependency, requirement for extracellular Mg2+ and inhibition by cytochalasin B as well as inhibition by monoclonal antibodies against the leucocyte adhesion molecules CD11b and CD18. Phorbol ester treatment of U-937 cells stimulated the phosphorylation of at least three endogenous substrates, pp28, pp34 and pp43, of which pp28 and pp43 also responded to H2O2-treatment with increased 32P-incorporation. The results suggest that H2O2 might be a physiological modulator of leucocyte adhesion, possibly operating by activating protein kinase C. 相似文献

Controls on calcium ion fluxes in injured or shocked corn root cells: Importance of proton pumping and cell membrane potential 总被引:4,自引:0,他引:4
Passive influx of 45 Ca2+ into non-growing corn root tissue ( Zea mays L.) was increased as a result of actions (cutting, rubbing, chilling, heating, acidifying) or agents (cyanide, uncouplers) known to depolarize the cell membrane, and was decreased by actions (washing) or agents (fusicoccin) known to hyperpolarize it. These responses indicate the presence of Ca2+ channels which are voltage controlled. If the injuries were extensive, however, voltage control was lost and hyperpolarization with fusicoccin was expressed by increased 45 Ca2+ influx. Control could be regained by tissue washing, and millimolar levels of external Ca2+ would protect against loss of control. Influx of Ca2+ was strongly inhibited by La3+ , but only weakly by verapamil. Intact roots showed greater cold shock sensitivity in maturing cells than in growing cells. We conclude that corn roots normally restrict Ca2+ influx by a mechanism linked to hyper-polarization of the plasmalemma.
Calcium ions which enter cold-shocked tissue are partially extruded during the early phase of recovery by a process stimulated by fusicoccin and subject to uncoupling. 相似文献

An understanding of plant responses to fluctuations in environment is critical to predictions of plant and ecosystem responses
to climate change. In the northern hemisphere, the northern limits of distribution of major biomes are probably determined
by the tolerance of their dominant physiognomic types (e.g., deciduous hardwood trees) to minimum winter temperatures and
can thus be predicted from long-term patterns of temperature fluctuations. At a more detailed level, the responses of functional
groups of plants to altered climate can be predicted from their known responses to fluctuations in soil resources (nutrients
and water) and the expected effect of climatic change on these soil resources. Laboratory and field experiments demonstrate
the feasibility of this approach. 相似文献

We assessed the effect of eel (Anguilla anguilla) removal from three sites of a Cantabrian stream upon its subsequent densities. In the first sample (Sept. 1986) numbers
and densities were estimated as 43, 45 and 84 ind and 3490, 3030 and 3750 ind ha −1. Removal of these eels reduced the subsequent numbers and densities which, except on two occasions, were never reached again
during the two years (eleven estimates) of study. Highest densities were recorded in the uppermost site in May and July, 1987,
coincident with a strong drought and the lowest densities occurred in 1988 during a normal wet year. We hypothesize first
that, because of a selective underground homing behaviour of eels, electro-fishing is inefficient and results in underestimates
of the population. Second, seasonal variations of water discharge and droughts may not influence the homing behaviour of'eels
until a threshold of dryness is reached. If this occurs, eels abandon their refuges and move towards the stream bottom. It
seems that in Arroyo Chabatchos this threshold was exceeded in the summer of 1987 when the highest densities were estimated.
The re-colonization of these sites experimentally depleted of eels, is a slow procces that lasts for, at least, two years. 相似文献

Multiple sclerosis (MS), the most common disabling neurologic disease of young adults, is considered a classical T cell-mediated disease and is characterized by demyelination, axonal damage, and progressive neurological dysfunction. The currently available disease-modifying therapies are limited in their efficacy, and improved understanding of new pathways contributing to disease pathogenesis could reveal additional novel therapeutic targets. The p38 mitogen-activated protein kinase (MAPK) signaling pathway is known to be triggered by stress stimuli and to contribute to inflammatory responses. Importantly, a number of recent studies have identified this signaling pathway as a central player in MS and its principal animal model, experimental allergic encephalomyelitis. Here, we review the evidence from mouse and human studies supporting the role of p38 MAPK in regulating key immunopathogenic mechanisms underlying autoimmune inflammatory disease of the central nervous system and the potential of targeting this pathway as a disease-modifying therapy in MS. 相似文献

Methylene blue (MB) is the oldest synthetic antimalarial. It is not used anymore as antimalarial but should be reconsidered. For this purpose we have measured its impact on both chloroquine sensitive and resistant Plasmodium strains. We showed that around 5 nM of MB were able to inhibit 50% of the parasite growth in vitro and that late rings and early trophozoites were the most sensitive stages; while early rings, late trophozoites and schizonts were less sensitive. Drug interaction study following fractional inhibitory concentrations (FIC) method showed antagonism with amodiaquine, atovaquone, doxycycline, pyrimethamine; additivity with artemether, chloroquine, mefloquine, primaquine and synergy with quinine. These results confirmed the interest of MB that could be integrated in a new low cost antimalarial combination therapy. 相似文献

Background
The cattle (Bos taurus) genome was originally selected for sequencing due to its economic importance and unique biology as a model organism for understanding other ruminants, or mammals. Currently, there are two cattle genome sequence assemblies (UMD3.1 and Btau4.6) from groups using dissimilar assembly algorithms, which were complemented by genetic and physical map resources. However, past comparisons between these assemblies revealed substantial differences. Consequently, such discordances have engendered ambiguities when using reference sequence data, impacting genomic studies in cattle and motivating construction of a new optical map resource--BtOM1.0--to guide comparisons and improvements to the current sequence builds. Accordingly, our comprehensive comparisons of BtOM1.0 against the UMD3.1 and Btau4.6 sequence builds tabulate large-to-immediate scale discordances requiring mediation.Results
The optical map, BtOM1.0, spanning the B. taurus genome (Hereford breed, L1 Dominette 01449) was assembled from an optical map dataset consisting of 2,973,315 (439 X; raw dataset size before assembly) single molecule optical maps (Rmaps; 1 Rmap = 1 restriction mapped DNA molecule) generated by the Optical Mapping System. The BamHI map spans 2,575.30 Mb and comprises 78 optical contigs assembled by a combination of iterative (using the reference sequence: UMD3.1) and de novo assembly techniques. BtOM1.0 is a high-resolution physical map featuring an average restriction fragment size of 8.91 Kb. Comparisons of BtOM1.0 vs. UMD3.1, or Btau4.6, revealed that Btau4.6 presented far more discordances (7,463) vs. UMD3.1 (4,754). Overall, we found that Btau4.6 presented almost double the number of discordances than UMD3.1 across most of the 6 categories of sequence vs. map discrepancies, which are: COMPLEX (misassembly), DELs (extraneous sequences), INSs (missing sequences), ITs (Inverted/Translocated sequences), ECs (extra restriction cuts) and MCs (missing restriction cuts).Conclusion
Alignments of UMD3.1 and Btau4.6 to BtOM1.0 reveal discordances commensurate with previous reports, and affirm the NCBI’s current designation of UMD3.1 sequence assembly as the “reference assembly” and the Btau4.6 as the “alternate assembly.” The cattle genome optical map, BtOM1.0, when used as a comprehensive and largely independent guide, will greatly assist improvements to existing sequence builds, and later serve as an accurate physical scaffold for studies concerning the comparative genomics of cattle breeds.Electronic supplementary material

Alteration of single genes involved in nutrient and lipoprotein metabolism increases longevity in several animal models. Because exceptional longevity in humans is familial, it is likely that polymorphisms in genes favorably influence certain phenotypes and increase the likelihood of exceptional longevity. A group of Ashkenazi Jewish centenarians ( n = 213), their offspring ( n = 216), and an age-matched Ashkenazi control group ( n = 258) were genotyped for 66 polymorphisms in 36 candidate genes related to cardiovascular disease (CVD). These genes were tested for association with serum lipoprotein levels and particle sizes, apolipoprotein A1, B, and C-3 levels and with outcomes of hypertension, insulin resistance, and mortality. The prevalence of homozygosity for the −641C allele in the APOC3 promoter (rs2542052) was higher in centenarians (25%) and their offspring (20%) than in controls (10%) ( p = 0.0001 and p = 0.001, respectively). This genotype was associated with significantly lower serum levels of APOC3 and a favorable pattern of lipoprotein levels and sizes. We found a lower prevalence of hypertension and greater insulin sensitivity in the −641C homozygotes, suggesting a protective effect against CVD and the metabolic syndrome. Finally, in a prospectively studied cohort, a significant survival advantage was demonstrated in those with the favorable −641C homozygote ( p < 0.0001). Homozygosity for the APOC3 −641C allele is associated with a favorable lipoprotein profile, cardiovascular health, insulin sensitivity, and longevity. Because modulation of lipoproteins is also seen in genetically altered longevity models, it may be a common pathway influencing lifespan from nematodes to humans. 相似文献
