We have used glycol methacrylate to study undecalcified skeletal growth plate and subchondral bone. Minor modifications of the original technique including dehydration in glycol methacrylate vacuum infiltration and polymerization in the cold make it quite suitable for embedding of such tissues. Moreover, specimens can be processed quickly and the morphologic and biochemical integrity of the tissue retained so that histochemical procedures can be readily applied. Collagen, glycosaminoglycan, glycogen, lipid, calcium and the activity of alkaline and acid phosphatase were localized. This technique appears to be very useful for studying skeletal tissues. 相似文献

The results of this study confirm that adenoviruses are the most resistant enteric viruses to inactivation by UV light and that adenovirus 40 appears to be the most resistant. The effect of freeze-thawing and storage in water may affect the sensitivity of some adenoviruses to inactivation by UV light. 相似文献

Protein kinase D (PKD) potentiates cellular DNA synthesis in response to G protein-coupled receptor (GPCR) agonists but the mechanism(s) involved has not been elucidated. Here, we examined whether PKD overexpression in Swiss 3T3 cells regulates the activation/inactivation kinetics of the extracellular-regulated protein kinase (ERK) in response to the mitogenic GPCR agonists bombesin and vasopressin. Addition of bombesin or vasopressin to Swiss 3T3 cells overexpressing PKD induced a striking increase in the duration of MEK/ERK/RSK activation as compared with cultures of either control Swiss 3T3 cells or Swiss 3T3 cells expressing a kinase-inactive PKD mutant. In contrast, the duration of ERK activation in response to epidermal growth factor, which acts via protein kinase C/PKD-independent pathways, was not increased. Furthermore, bombesin or vasopressin promoted a striking increase in phosphorylation (at Ser-374) and accumulation of c-Fos (the c-fos proto-oncogene product) in Swiss 3T3 cells overexpressing wild-type (but not kinase-inactive) PKD. Inhibition of the sustained phase of ERK/RSK activation abrogated the increase in c-Fos accumulation and DNA synthesis induced by bombesin or vasopressin in PKD-overexpressing cells. Our results demonstrate that PKD selectively potentiates mitogenesis induced by bombesin or vasopressin in Swiss 3T3 cells by increasing the duration of MEK/ERK/RSK signaling. 相似文献

BACKGROUND AND AIMS: Lotus japonicus 'Gifu' develops multiple axillary shoots in the cotyledonary node region throughout the growth of the plant. The origin, initiation and development of these axillary meristems were investigated. METHODS: Morphological, histological and mRNA in situ analyses were done to characterize the ontogeny of cotyledonary axillary shoot meristems in Lotus. Morphological characterization of a putative Lotus shoot branching mutant (super-accessory branches) sac, is presented. KEY RESULTS: By using expression of an L. japonicus STM-like gene as a marker for meristematic tissues, it was demonstrated that groups of cells maintained in the meristematic state at the cotyledonary axil region coincide with the sites where additional axillary meristems (accessory meristems) form. A Lotus shoot branching mutant, sac, is a putative Lotus branching mutant characterized by increased proliferation of accessory shoots in all leaf axils including the cotyledons. CONCLUSION: In Lotus, axillary shoot meristems continually develop at the cotyledonary node region throughout the growth of the plant. These cotyledonary primary and accessory axillaries arise from the position of a meristematic zone of tissue at the cotyledonary node axil region. 相似文献

Macroautophagy delivers cytoplasmic material to lysosomal/vacuolar compartments for degradation. Conserved multisubunit complexes, composed of autophagy-related (Atg) proteins, initiate the formation of membrane precursors, termed phagophores. Under physiological conditions these cup-shaped structures can capture cytoplasmic material highly selectively. Starvation or cytotoxic stresses, however, initiate the formation of much larger phagophores to enclose cytoplasm nonselectively. The biogenesis of nonselective autophagosomes is initiated by the hierarchical assembly of the Atg1 kinase complex and the recruitment of Atg9 vesicles at the phagophore assembly site (PAS). In this punctum we summarize our recent findings regarding tethering of Atg9 vesicles by the Atg1 kinase complex. We discuss membrane tethering by and activation of its central subunit Atg17 in the context of other canonical membrane tethering factors. Our results show that Atg17 suffices to bind and tether Atg9 vesicles. The Atg31-Atg29 subcomplex inhibits Atg17 activity, and activation of Atg17 depends on the formation of the Atg1 kinase complex that involves recruiting Atg1-Atg13. Our studies lead to a model of unconventional membrane tethering in autophagy. 相似文献

Markers of monocyte activation play a critical role in atherosclerosis, but little is known about the genetic influences on
cellular levels. Therefore, we investigated the influence of genetic variants in monocyte differentiation antigen (CD14), toll-like receptor-4 (TLR4), toll-like receptor-2 (TLR2), and myeloperoxidase (MPO) on monocyte surface receptor levels. The study sample consisted of 1,817 members of a biracial cohort of adults from the
Atherosclerosis Risk in Communities Carotid MRI Study. Monocyte receptors were measured using flow cytometry on fasting whole
blood samples. TLR2 rs1816702 genotype was significantly associated with CD14+/TLR2+ percent of positive cells (%) and median fluorescence intensity
(MFI) in whites but not in blacks (p < 0.001). Specifically, the presence of the minor T-allele was associated with increased receptor levels. In blacks, TLR4 rs5030719 was significantly associated with CD14+/TLR4+ monocytes (MFI) with mean ± SE intensities of 16.7 ± 0.05 and 16.0 ± 0.14
for GG and GT/TT genotypes, respectively (p < 0.001). Variants in TLR2 and TLR4 were associated with monocyte receptor levels of TLR2 and TLR4, respectively, in a biracial cohort of adults. To our knowledge,
this is the first study to look at associations between variants in the toll-like receptor family and toll-like receptor levels
on monocytes. 相似文献
