Summary This paper describes the microscopic evidence supporting a cesium-induced delay in the fusion of chick embryo myoblast membranes
during in vitro myogenic differentiation. We have recently demonstrated that the sharp decrease in the conductivity and permittivity
of the membranes of these myogenic cells at the time of fusion is delayed 30 h by the addition of cesium to the culture medium
(Santini et al., Biochim. Biophys. Acta 945:56–64; 1988). We report here that this delay in fusion is substantiated by direct
microscopic observation and that cesium also induces ultrastructural changes in the myoblast cells themselves. Possible mechanisms
by which cesium may cause both the delay in fusion as well as the ultrastructural changes observed are discussed.
This investigation was partially supported by an Italian Consiglio Nazionale delle Ricerche grant 85.00.304.02 (to P. L. I.). 相似文献

The aim of this work was to check whether the stable cesium content in forest litter affects the value of radiocesium from
litter-to-mushroom transfer factorTf or not. Total cesium in litter, measured by AAS, varied from 0.1–2.7 μg/g. These data, combined with earlier results for
mushrooms, showed no simple correlation forTf. More complex relationships provided very high correlation coefficients, but their validity needs further investigation. 相似文献

Summary The mechanisms underlying the pacemaker current in cardiac tissues is not agreed upon. The pacemaker potential in Purkinje
fibers has been attributed to the decay of the potassium current I
Kdd. An alternative proposal is that the hyperpolarization-activated current I
f underlies the pacemaker potential in all cardiac pacemakers. The aim of this review is to retrace the experimental development
related to the pacemaker mechanism in Purkinje fibers with reference to findings about the pacemaker mechanism in the SAN
as warranted. Experimental data and their interpretation are critically reviewed. Major findings were attributed to K+ depletion in narrow extracellular spaces which would result in a time dependent decay of the inward rectifier current I
K1. In turn, this decay would be responsible for a “fake” reversal of the pacemaker current. In order to avoid such a postulated
depletion, Ba2+ was used to block the decay of I
K1. In the presence of Ba2+ the time-dependent current no longer reversed and instead increased with time and more so at potentials as negative as −120 mV.
In this regard, the distinct possibility needs to be considered that Ba2+ had blocked I
Kdd (and not only I
K1). That indeed this was the case was demonstrated by studying single Purkinje cells in the absence and in the presence of
Ba2+. In the absence of Ba2+, I
Kdd was present in the pacemaker potential range and reversed at E
K. In the presence of Ba2+, I
Kdd was blocked and I
f appeared at potentials negative to the pacemaker range. The pacemaker potential behaves in a manner consistent with the underlying
I
Kdd but not with I
f. The fact that I
f is activated on hyperpolarization at potential negative to the pacemaker range makes it suitable as a safety factor to prevent
the inhibitory action of more negative potentials on pacemaker discharge. It is concluded that the large body of evidence
reviewed proves the pacemaker role of I
Kdd (but not of I
f) in Purkinje fibers. 相似文献

The accumulation of cesium by the bacterium Thermus sp. TibetanG6 was examined under different K+ growth conditions. The effects of external pH and Na+ on the accumulation of cesium were also studied, and the mechanism involved was discussed. K+ regimes played an important role in the accumulation of cesium by the strain TibetanG6. The quantity of cesium accumulated
(24 h) was much higher in K+-deficient regime than that in K+-sufficient regime. The pH and Na+ had different effects on the accumulation of cesium in the two K+ regimes. IR spectra analyses indicated that the biosorption is a process of homeostasis with cesium initially accumulated
on the cell wall. 相似文献

We demonstrate, using transmission electron microscopy and immunopurification with an antibody specific for RNA/DNA hybrid, that intact mitochondrial DNA replication intermediates are essentially duplex throughout their length but contain extensive RNA tracts on one strand. However, the extent of preservation of RNA in such molecules is highly dependent on the preparative method used. These findings strongly support the strand-coupled model of mitochondrial DNA replication involving RNA incorporation throughout the lagging strand. 相似文献

Bio-nanocapsules (BNCs) are hollow nanoparticles composed of the L protein of hepatitis B virus (HBV) surface antigen (HBsAg), which can specifically introduce genes and drugs into various kinds of target cells. Although the classic electroporation method has typically been used to introduce highly charged molecules such as DNA, it is rarely adopted for proteins due to its very low efficiency. In this study, a novel approach to the preparation of BNC was established whereby a target protein was pre-encapsulated during the course of nanoparticle formation. Briefly, because of the process of BNC formation in a budding manner on the endoplasmic reticulum (ER) membrane, the association of target proteins to the ER membrane with lipidation sequences (ER membrane localization sequences) could directly generate protein-encapsulating BNC in collaboration with co-expression of the L proteins. Since the membrane-localized proteins are automatically enveloped into BNCs during the budding event, this method can be protect the proteins and BNCs from damage caused by electroporation and obviate the need for laborious consideration to study the optimal conditions for protein encapsulation. This approach would be a useful method for encapsulating therapeutic candidate proteins into BNCs. 相似文献

Cs accumulation characteristics by Sorghum bicolor were investigated in hydroponic system (Cs level at 50–1000 μmol/L) and in soil (Cs-spiked concentration was 100 and 400 mg/kg soil). Two varieties of S. bicolor Cowly and Nengsi 2# grown on pot soil during the entire growth period (100 days) did not show significant differences on the height, dry weight (DW), and Cs accumulation. S. bicolor showed the potential phytoextraction ability for Cs-contaminated soil with the bioaccumulation factor (BCF) and the translocation factor (TF) values usually higher than 1 in soil system and in hydroponic system. The aerial parts of S. bicolor contributed to 86–92% of the total removed amounts of Cs from soil. Cs level in solution at 100 μmol/L gave the highest BCF and TF values of S. bicolor. Cs at low level tended to transfer to the aerial parts, whereas Cs at high level decreased the transfer ratio from root to shoot. In soil, the plant grew well when Cs spiked level was 100 mg/kg soil, but was inhibited by Cs at 400 mg/kg soil with Cs content in sorghum reaching 1147 mg/kg (roots), 2473 mg/kg (stems), and 2939 mg/kg (leaves). In hydroponic system, average Cs level in sorghum reached 5270 mg/kg (roots) and 4513 mg/kg (aerial parts), without significant damages to its biomass at 30 days after starting Cs treatment. Cs accumulation in sorghum tissues was positively correlated with the metal concentration in medium. 相似文献

Efficient Uptake of Cesium Ions by Rhodococcus Cells 总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1
Bacteria of the genus Rhodococcus were found to be able to accumulate cesium by means of active transport and nonspecific sorption on the cell surface structures. The maximum removal (up to 97%) of cesium from a medium supplemented with ammonium acetate was observed at 28°C, pH 7.8–8.6, and an equimolar content (0.2 mM) of potassium and cesium ions in the medium. The most active cesium-accumulating rhodococcal strains may be useful in biological treatment of industrial wastewaters contaminated with radionuclides. 相似文献

木耳菜在4种土壤中对Cs的吸收与转运研究 总被引:2,自引:0,他引:2
土壤类型是Cs污染植物修复技术的重要影响因素。采用盆栽试验,将木耳菜分别移栽在紫色土、水稻土、红壤和黄壤土中,待3叶期,分别施加不同浓度的Cs[0、20、40、80、120mg·kg~(-1) CsCl]处理10、20、30d后取样,分析木耳菜在4种土壤中对Cs的吸收与转运差异,探讨不同土壤类型、土壤pH值以及速效钾含量对木耳菜富集Cs的影响机制。结果显示:(1)不同土壤类型中木耳菜的Cs含量均与Cs施加浓度和处理时间呈显著正相关关系,植物各器官间Cs积累量大小依次为根叶茎,表明木耳菜的根、茎、叶在不同类型土壤中均能积累Cs,随着处理时间的延长,其吸收量随Cs施加浓度的增大而增加,但以根部的富集能力最强、积累量最大。(2)在不同土壤类型中和不同处理时间段,木耳菜对Cs的富集系数和转运系数均存在显著差异,其富集与转运能力随着Cs施加浓度的增大以及处理时间的延长表现为先增后减,其地下部分富集系数显著高于地上部分,且黄壤土中木耳菜对Cs的富集能力明显高于其它3种土壤。(3)土壤中的钾含量和pH值影响木耳菜对Cs的吸收和富集,与紫色土、水稻土和红壤相比,黄壤土中的速效钾含量较低,pH适中,在不同处理时间段,木耳菜在黄壤土中对Cs的富集效率都最高,表明土壤中低含量的速效钾以及适中的pH值更利于木耳菜对Cs的吸收。 相似文献
