The metabolism of i.v. estriol was investigated in two intact baboons and four with biliary fistulas. Urine and bile samples were collected periodically and the radioactivity extracted by Amberlite-XAD resin. Metabolites were separated and purified by a combination of DEAE-Sephadex chromatography, celite partition, specific enzyme hydrolysis of the conjugates and identification of the aglycones. The excretion and metabolism of estriol in the animals closely resembled those of the human. Intact animals excreted an average of 50% of the radioactivity in the urine during 12 hours and two animals with biliary drainage excreted an average of 40% in the urine and 49% in the bile. When the steroid was injected into the portal vein an average of 11.5% and 84% were excreted in the urine and bile, respectively.In the urine of intact animals, approximately 65.8% of the radioactivity was in the form of E3-16G; 14.2% as E3-3G; 13.4% as E3-3S and 5.1% as E3-3S-16G. Over 73% of biliary radioactivity from the peripheral injections was made up of E3-3S-16G and 3.6% as E3-16G and 8.3% as 3-sulfate. In the urine,however, 57% of the label was made up of E3-16G. No radioactive E3-3G was detected in the bile of any of the animals. Following simultaneous injection of 3H-E3 peripherally and 14C-E3 intraportally, the 3-glucosiduronate excreted in the urine was derived exclusively from the 3H-label. Based on the results obtained, the baboon has been shown to metabolize estriol in the same fashion as the human, with E3-3S-16G as the predominant biliary metabolite and E3-16G as the major urinary metabolite. As in the human, evidence was also found for an enterohepatic circulation of e3 in the baboon, 16-glucuronidation in the kidney, and extrahepatic (enteric?) formation of E3-3G. incubation of the baboon liver yielded 94% of the total conjugate as E3-16G without any trace of E3-3G. 相似文献

The rate of progression to AIDS in human immunodeficiency virus type 1 (HIV-1)-infected individuals is determined by a complex series of interactions between the host and virus. Here we evaluate virologic properties and host responses in two men near-simultaneously infected with HIV-1 from the same sexual partner--one individual progressed to AIDS in less than 2 years, and the other remains asymptomatic 3 years postinfection. Distinct neutralizing antibody and cellular immune responses were evident, with the slower progressor exhibiting generally stronger and broader responses, except for cytotoxic T-lymphocyte responses early in infection. Virtually identical, homogeneous virus populations were found in both patients in the first sample obtained; however, a second unrelated HIV-1 virus population was also found in the fast progressor. Whether the second population emanated from an additional source of infection or the two were transmitted from the original source could not be determined. The virus population in the slower progressor turned over and diversified rapidly, whereas both virus populations in the rapid progressor evolved at a much slower rate. In addition, the character of mutational changes underlying these diversities appeared to be distinct, with a bias for diversifying selection developing in the slower progressor and a reciprocal bias towards purifying selection maintained in both populations in the fast progressor. Thus, the rapid evolution that is a hallmark of HIV replication may be a reflection of strong host resistance against emerging virus variants and a longer period of asymptomatic infection. Furthermore, rapid progression was not linked to a collapse of any appreciable immune response following attainment of some threshold of antigenic diversity but rather to a failure to drive this diversification and a condition of relatively unimpeded expansion of variants with optimized replicative capacity within the host. 相似文献

Estrone glucosiduronate, 17β-estradiol-3-glucoslduronate, 17β-estradiol-17-glucosiduronate and estriol-16α-glucoslduronate have been biosynthesized in substantial yield by incubation of radioactive estrone, 17β-estradiol, estriol and uridlne diphosphoglucosiduronic acid with rhesus monkey liver homogenates. The metabolites were characterized by chromatography on Celite and DEAE-Sephadex, enzyme hydrolysis, derivative formation and crystallization to constant specific activity. The percent conversion to 17β-estradiol-17-glucosiduronate from 17β-estradlol ranged between 56–71%; from estrone, the conversion was 49–54%. Other metabolites formed from estradiol were estrone glucosiduronate(12–21%) and 17β-estradiol-3-glucosiduronate(5–12%). The same metabolites derived from estrone accounted for 18–28% and 10–14% respectively. After estriol incubation, more than 90% of the steroid was converted to estriol-16α-glucosiduronate with no detectable estriol-3-glucosiduronate. This report represents the first time that 17β-estradiol-17-glucosiduronate has been reported as a metabolite in the rhesus monkey and this is the only known species which forms 17β-estradiol-17-glucosiduronate as the predominant metabolite of either estrone or estradiol .Rhesus monkey liver is similar to the human and baboon in that it metabolizes estriol exclusively to estriol-16-glucosiduronate. 相似文献

High pressure liquid chromatography using a prepacked commercial strong anion exchanger column (mu Partisil 10 SAX, 25 cm x 4.6 mm) was used to separate a mixture of eight estrogen conjugates. Chromatographic conditions using a 0.01 M potassium phosphate or 0.1 M NaCl as solvent in the isocratic mode are described for the separation of estrone glucosiduronate, 17beta-estradiol-3-glucosiduronate, 17beta-estradiol-17-glucosiduronate, estriol-3-glucosiduronate, estriol-16alpha-glucosiduronate, estriol-17-glucosiduronate, estrone sulfate and 17beta-estradiol-3-sulfate. This system gives high resolution of the estrogen conjugates in small eluent volumes in less than 30 min. The advantages of this high pressure liquid chromatographic system over other methods of separation are discussed. 相似文献

A vaccine regimen that can rapidly control HIV-1 replication at the site of exposure following sexual contact is likely to be the most effective in preventing HIV-1 infection. As part of a larger, phase II clinical trial, we evaluated the ability of a recombinant canarypox HIV-1 vaccine to induce CTL that can be detected in both the systemic and mucosal compartments following i.m. immunization in 12 low- and high-risk HIV-1 seronegative volunteers. In the 7 volunteers receiving four immunizations with live recombinant canarypox ALVAC-HIV vaccine with or without rgp120/SF-2, HIV-1-specific CTL were detected in the blood of 5 (71%) and in the rectum of 4 (57%). CTL responses were observed in both risk strata. In contrast, 5 volunteers receiving placebo had undetectable responses in both compartments. Vaccine-induced, HIV-1-specific effector activities included IFN-gamma secretion and class I MHC-restricted CD8(+) CTL. Rectal and systemic CD8(+) CTL clones established in 1 vaccine recipient revealed similar Env-specific responses and MHC restriction. These findings indicate that parenteral vaccination can induce HIV-1-specific CTL that localize to sites of HIV-1 acquisition, where their presence may be critical in the control of initial viral replication and eventual dissemination. Determination of the optimal strategy to induce mucosal T cells requires future clinical studies. 相似文献

Rabbits have been shown to excrete 6, 7-3H-estriol, its conjugates and metabolites preponderantly in the bile during the initial 4 hours following the I.V. injection of the labeled steroid. The amount of radioactivity excreted in the urine was of that in the bile. Since in intact rabbits most of the injected radioactivity of 3H-estriol is excreted in the urine over a period of days (and very little in the feces), it appears that estriol and its conjugates and metabolites are involved in an efficient enterohepatic. circulation. In the bile, the preponderant metabolite of 3H-estriol was the 3-glucosiduronate. Even though the latter constituted a substantial part of the urinary metabolites, other conjugates and metabolites of estriol were present in considerable amounts. It is possible that the latter have resulted from gastro-intestinal and/or renal metabolism. Incubation of rabbit liver with estriol led to 75% conjugation with glucuronic acid in the 3-position. 相似文献

Human immunodeficiency virus type 2 (HIV-2) infection is typically less virulent than HIV-1 infection, which may permit the host to mount more effective, sustained T-cell immunity. We investigated antiviral gamma interferon-secreting T-cell responses by an ex vivo Elispot assay in 68 HIV-1- and 55 HIV-2-infected Senegalese patients to determine if differences relate to more efficient HIV-2 control. Homologous HIV-specific T cells were detected in similar frequencies (79% versus 76%, P = 0.7) and magnitude (3.12 versus 3.08 log(10) spot-forming cells/10(6) peripheral blood mononuclear cells) in HIV-1 and HIV-2 infection, respectively. Gag-specific responses predominated in both groups (>/=64%), and significantly higher Nef-specific responses occurred in HIV-1-infected (54%) than HIV-2-infected patients (22%) (P < 0.001). Heterologous responses were more frequent in HIV-1 than in HIV-2 infection (46% versus 27%, P = 0.04), but the mean magnitude was similar. Total frequencies of HIV-specific responses in both groups did not correlate with plasma viral load and CD4(+) T-cell count in multivariate regression analyses. However, the magnitude of HIV-2 Gag-specific responses was significantly associated with lower plasma viremia in HIV-1-infected patients (P = 0.04). CD4(+) T-helper responses, primarily recognizing HIV-2 Gag, were detected in 48% of HIV-2-infected compared to only 8% of HIV-1-infected patients. These findings indicate that improved control of HIV-2 infection may relate to the contribution of T-helper cell responses. By contrast, the superior control of HIV-1 replication associated with HIV-2 Gag responses suggests that these may represent cross-reactive, higher-avidity T cells targeting epitopes within Gag regions of functional importance in HIV replication. 相似文献

Following the constant infusion of 2,4,6,7-3H-estriol in male dogs for a period of 90 minutes, the radioactive metabolites present in arterial plasma were separated by solvent partition, DEAE-Sephadex, Celite partition and thin layer chromatography. The identities of the individual estrogens and estrogen conjugates were confirmed by specific activity determinations after chromatography in several different solvent systems, enzyme hydrolysis and chromatography of the unconjugated steroids and their derivatives. 相似文献

Direct radioimmunoassay are described for the measurement of each of three specific estrogen glucosiduronates: estrone glucosiduronate, 17 beta-estradiol-17-glucosiduronate and estriol-16 alpha-glucosiduronate in urine. Each assay utilizes a specific antiserum prepared by complexing the carboxylic acid group of the appropriate glucosiduronate to the epsilon-amino group of lysine in bovine serum albumin or bovine thyroglobulin. The antisera showed little or no cross reactivity toward other estrogens that might be present in significant amounts in urine. These antisera were used for the direct assay of the conjugates in urine from normal men and nonpregnant women without prior extraction or chromatography. The values were similar to those obtained after extraction, chromatographic purification on DEAE-Sephadex and subsequent immunoassay; The following mean values +/- SE (microgram/g creatinine) were obtained: estrone glucosiduronate, male 10.1 +/- 0.6, follicular phase female 17.3+/- 1.6, luteal phase female 31.8 +/- 2.5; 17 beta-estradiol-17-glucosiduronate, male 1.7 +/- 0.3, follicular phase female 2.4 +/- 0.1, luteal phase female 4.2 +/- 0.4; estriol-16 alpha-glucosiduronate, male 1.8 +/- 0.2, follicular phase female 4.7 +/- 0.9, luteal phase female 10.0 +/- 1.6. 相似文献
