Whether La3+ can enter human peripheral blood lymphocytes by the Na+/Ca2+ exchanger or not and the effect of La3+on the Na+/Ca2+ exchanger activity are examined by fura-2 technique. And that whether La3+ is sequestered by intracellular organelles (mainly endoplasmic reticulum and mitochondria) is studied by this method. La3+uptake is obviously stimulated by pre-treating the cells with ouabain and by removing extracellular Na+, and intracellular La3+concentration ([La3+]i) is directly proportional to its extracellular concentration ([La3+]o). But when [La3+]o exceeds 0.4 mmol/L, the 340/380 nm ratio of fluorescence is no longer varied and the maximum [La3+], is 1.5×10-12 mol · L-1. The higher concentration of La3+ (0.1 mmol/L) increases Na+/Ca2+ exchange-mediated calcium influx, but lower concentration (10 μmol/L) appears to block calcium influx. The results also suggest that cytosolic La3+ is transported by the ATP-dependent Ca2+ pump. Intracellular Ca2+ stores are depleted by ionomycin, and then ion  相似文献

We assessed the contribution of UV-induced violet-blue-green leaf fluorescence to photosynthesis in Poa annua, Sorghum halepense and Nerium oleander by measuring UV-induced fluorescence spectra (280-380 nm excitation, 400-550 nm emission) from leaf surfaces and determining the monochromatic UV action spectra for leaf photosynthetic O2-evolution. Peak fluorescence emission wavelengths from leaf surfaces ranged from violet (408 nm) to blue (448 nm), while excitation peaks for these maxima ranged from 333 to 344 nm. Action spectra were developed by supplementing monochromatic radiation from 280 to 440 nm, in 20 nm increments, to a visible nonsaturating background of 500 mumol m-2 s-1 photosynthetically active radiation and measuring photosynthetic O2-evolution rates. Photosynthetic rates tended to be higher with the 340 nm supplement than with higher or lower wavelength UV supplements. Comparing photosynthetic rates with the 340 nm supplement to those with the 400 nm supplement, the percentage enhancement in photosynthetic rates at 340 nm ranged from 7.8 to 9.8%. We suspect that 340 nm UV improves photosynthetic rates via fluorescence that provides violet-blue-green photons for photosynthetic energy conversion because (1) the peak excitation wavelength (340 nm) for violet-blue-green fluorescence from leaves was also the most effective UV wavelength at enhancing photosynthetic rates, and (2) the magnitude of photosynthetic enhancements attributable to supplemental 340 nm UV was well correlated (R2 = 0.90) with the apparent intensity of 340 nm UV-induced violet-blue-green fluorescence emission from leaves.  相似文献

To discover an orally active thromboxane A(2) (TXA(2)) and leukotriene D(4) (LTD(4)) dual antagonist, we designed and synthesized chloroquinolylvinyl derivatives based on the structures of the TXA(2) antagonist daltroban and the LTD(4) antagonist montelukast. Among these derivatives, 4-{[(2-(4-chlorophenylsulfonylamino)-1-{3-[(E)-2-(7-chloro-2-quinolyl)vinyl]phenyl}ethyl)thio]methyl}benzoic acid (18d) showed potent inhibitory activity against U46619-induced aggregation of guinea pig platelets and LTD(4)-induced contraction in the guinea pig ileum, with IC(50) values of 340 nm and 0.40 nm, respectively. Oral administration of 18 d also inhibited both the LTD(4)-induced acceleration of plasma leakage to skin in guinea pig and the U46619-induced increase in airway resistance in guinea pig with ED(50) values of 0.47 mg/kg and 3.3 mg/kg, respectively.  相似文献

Muscarinic receptors play key roles in the control of gastrointestinal smooth muscle activity. However, specific physiological functions of each subtype remain to be determined. In this study, the nonselective cation channel activated by carbachol (I(CCh)) was examined in circular smooth muscle cells of the guinea pig gastric antrum using patch-clamp technique. 4-DAMP inhibited I(CCh) dose-dependently with IC(50) of 1.1 0.1 nM (n = 6). GTPgS-induced current, however, was not inhibited by 10 nM 4-DAMP. I(CCh) was not recorded in pertussis-toxin (PTX)-pretreated smooth muscle cells of gastric antrum. I(CCh) values in response to 10 mM CCh at a holding potential of 60 mV were -330 32 pA (n=4) and -15 3 pA (n = 6) in the control and PTX-treated cells, respectively (P 0.01). Sensitivities to nanomolar 4-DAMP and PTX suggest the possible involvement of m4 subtype. Using sequence information obtained from cloned guinea pig muscarinic receptor genes, it is possible to amplify the cDNAs encoding m1-m5 from guinea pig brain tissue. Single cell RT-PCR experiments showed that all five subtypes of muscarinic receptor were present in circular smooth muscle cells of the guinea pig gastric antrum. Together with our previous results showing that G(o) protein is important for activation of ACh-activated NSC channels, our results suggest that I(CCh) might be activated by acetylcholine through m4 subtype as well as m2 and m3 subtypes in guinea-pig stomach.  相似文献

The banned addition of psychiatric drugs such as phenothiazines to animal feed and foodstuffs increases the risk of human organ lesion. Phenothiazines usually exhibit weak native fluorescence and can be oxidized to strongly fluorescent compounds. In this study, a novel, sensitive and convenient method of HPLC‐fluorescence detection based on post‐column on‐line oxidizing with lead dioxide solid‐phase reactor has been developed for simultaneous determination of three banned psychotropic drugs, promethazine, chlorpromazine and thioridazine. Three compounds were successfully separated on an Agilent TC‐C18 column with mobile phase of acetonitrile (A) and water (B), both containing 0.5% (v/v) formic acid. A gradient elution was programmed and fluorimetric detection was performed at λex/λem of 332/373 nm for promethazine, 340/380 nm for chlorpromazine and 352/432 nm for thioridazine. The calibration graphs gave good linearity over the concentration ranges of 30.0–4976.4 µg/L for promethazine, 2.0–2153.2 µg/L for chlorpromazine, and 15.0–3088.0 µg/L for thioridazine, and correlation coefficients (r) were ≥0.995. The method was applied to the determination of phenothiazines in pig feed and pig tissue, and the average spiked recoveries were in the range 69.1–115.4%.

The contribution of dissolved organic matter (DOM) released from phytoplankton (Microcystis aeruginosa) during cultivation and biodegradation was examined to clarify the causes of the organic pollution of Lake Biwa. Two peaks, peak 2 (retention time (RT) = 32 min) and peak 3 (RT = 35 min), were detected in the algal DOM released from Microcystis aeruginosa during cultivation and biodegradation by gel chromatography with a fluorescence detector (Ex = 340 nm, Em = 435 nm). As these peaks correspond with the peaks detected in the surface water of Lake Biwa, one can conclude that the algal DOM released from Microcystis aeruginosa during cultivation and biodegradation makes a considerable contribution to the refractory organic matter in Lake Biwa. Three fluorescence maxima were observed in the cultivation of Microcystis aeruginosa: a fulvic-like fluorescence peak (peak A) with Ex/Em values of 320/430 nm, a protein-like fluorescence peak (peak C) with Ex/Em values of 280/360 nm, and another peak with Ex/Em values of 240/370 nm. The fluorescence material of peak C has a larger MW than that of peak A. The algal-derived DOM from Microcystis aeruginosa has similar fluorescence to fulvic acid of soil origin but exhibits mainly hydrophilic characteristics. In the biodegradation of Microcystis aeruginosa, a fulvic-like fluorescence peak (peak B) with Ex/Em values of 250/440 nm and a peak with Ex/Em values of 320/380 nm were observed.  相似文献

This research evaluates a smartphone complementary metal oxide semiconductor (CMOS) image sensor's ability to detect and quantify incident solar UVA radiation and subsequently, aerosol optical depth at 340 and 380 nm. Earlier studies revealed that the consumer grade CMOS sensor has inherent UVA sensitivities, despite attenuating effects of the lens. Narrow bandpass and neutral density filters were used to protect the image sensor and to not allow saturation of the solar images produced. Observations were made on clear days, free from clouds. The results of this research demonstrate that there is a definable response to changing solar irradiance and aerosol optical depth can be measured within 5% and 10% error margins at 380 and 340 nm respectively. The greater relative error occurs at lower wavelengths (340 nm) due to increased atmospheric scattering effects, particularly at higher air masses and due to lower signal to noise ratio in the image sensor. The relative error for solar irradiance was under 1% for observations made at 380 nm. The results indicate that the smartphone image sensor, with additional external narrow bandpass and neutral density filters can be used as a field sensor to evaluate solar UVA irradiance and aerosol optical depth.  相似文献

Near-ultraviolet light (UVA: 320-400 nm) constitutes a major part of sunlight UV. It is important to know the effect of UVA on the biological activities of organisms on the earth. We have previously reported that black light induces somatic-cell mutation in Drosophila larvae. To investigate which wavelength of the UVA is responsible for the mutation we have now carried out a series of monochromatic irradiations (310, 320, 330, 340, 360, 380 and 400 nm) on Drosophila larvae, using the large spectrograph of the National Institute for Basic Biology (Okazaki National Research Institutes, Okazaki, Japan). Mutagenic activity was examined by the Drosophila wing-spot test in which we observe mutant wing hair colonies (spots) on the wings of adult flies obtained from the treated larvae. The induction of mutation was highest by irradiation at 310 nm and decreased as the wavelength became longer. Neither the 380 nor the 400 nm light was mutagenic. Excision repair is known to protect cells from UV damage. In the excision-repair-deficient Drosophila, the mutagenic response induced by 310 nm irradiation was 24-fold higher than that of the wild-type (7.2 +/- 1.5 spots/wing/kJ vs 0.3 +/- 0.08 spots/wing/kJ), and at 320 nm the difference of the response was 14-fold (0.21 vs 0.015 +/- 0.005). In the case of irradiation at 330 and 340 nm the difference of the response was only two-fold (at 330 nm, 6.9 +/- 2.9 x 10(-3) vs 3.1 +/- 1.1 x 10(-3) spots/wing/kJ; at 340 nm, 3.5 +/- 0.9 x 10(-3) vs 2.0 +/- 0.7 x 10(-3). These results suggest that the lesion caused in the larvae by 320 nm irradiation may be similar to the damage induced by 310 nm and that the lights of 330 and 340 nm may induce damage different from the lesions induced by shorter-wavelength lights.  相似文献

The Bigenelli acid catalyzed condensation of 2‐pyridylcarboxaldehyde ( 1 ), urea ( 2 ) and an alkyl acetoacetate ( 3 ) afforded the respective alkyl (Me, Et, i‐Pr, i‐Bu, t‐Bu) 6‐methyl‐4‐(2‐pyridyl)‐1,2,3,4‐tetrahydro‐2H‐pyrimidine‐2‐one‐5‐carboxylates ( 4a‐e ). The most potent calcium channel antagonist ethyl 6‐methyl‐4‐(2‐pyridyl)‐1,2,3,4‐tetrahydro‐2H‐pyrimidine‐2‐one‐5‐carboxylate ( 4b , IC50 = 1.67 × 10?5 M) wasa much weaker calcium channel antagonist than the reference drug nifedipine (Adalat®, IC50 = 1.40 × 10?8 M) on guinea pig ileal longitudinal smooth muscle (GPILSM). The alkyl 6‐methyl‐4‐(2‐pyridyl)‐1,2,3,4‐tetrahydro‐2H‐pyrimidine‐2‐one‐5‐carboxylates did not show any inotropic effect on heart since no increase, or decrease, in the contractile force of guinea pig left atrium was observed. These structure activity studies show that the alkyl 6‐methyl‐4‐(2‐pyridyl)‐1,2,3,4‐tetrahydro‐2H‐pyrimidine‐2‐one‐5‐carboxylates ( 4a‐e ) are partial bioisosteres of nifedipine with respect to calcium channel antagonist activity on guinea pig ileal longitudinal smooth muscle (GPILSM).  相似文献

A preliminary study was undertaken to establish whether low-dose UV irradiation (UVB) affects calcium cell signaling in rabbit lens epithelia. In a suspension of lens epithelial cells (line NN1003A), changes in intracellular Ca2+ were measured by Fura-2 fluorescence in response to exogenously added ATP. The cellular response to ATP, referred to as the calcium signal, is characterized by a brief increase and subsequent decrease in cytosolic Ca2+ levels. Ultraviolet B irradiation (1.8-9 mJ/cm2) was found to reduce the magnitude of the Ca2+ signal in a dose-dependent manner. A 5 min UVB exposure (9 mJ/cm2) completely altered the biphasic nature of the calcium signal, causing only an immediate and steady rise in cytosol Ca2+ levels. Lower fluences of UVB irradiation (2 min exposure times or 3.6 mJ/cm2) induced a 50% reduction in the calcium signal. When irradiated cells were returned to culture for 3 h after irradiation, calcium signals induced by ATP were normal. In view of the photooxidative nature of UVB irradiation, the oxidative state of cells was assessed by measuring glutathione (GSH) levels. Ultraviolet B irradiation caused a rapid 20% decline in GSH levels that returned to near-control values after a 3 h postirradiation incubation. The results of this study indicate that fluences lower than previously found to be cataractogenic can perturb calcium cell signaling in cultured lens epithelial cells.  相似文献

Abstract

The dynamics of the brain distributions of Hg, Zn, Cu and Se in guinea pigs exposed to methylmercury and selenium were examined by X-ray fluorescence imaging utilizing synchrotron radiation.

Male Hartley guinea pigs were administered methyl mercury chloride and/or sodium selenite every day for ten days (s.c. 3mg as Hg/kg/day, mole ratio Hg:Se=1:1). Two dimensional distributions of Hg, Zn, Cu and Se in guinea pig brain were observed by nondestructive X-ray fluorescence imaging. Using the  相似文献

In the presence of 1.0mM Ca(2+), the interaction between Euplotes octocarinatus centrin (EoCen) and melittin (ME) was studied by means of fluorescence spectra. In 0.1M N-2-hydroxyethylpiperazine-N-2-ethanesulfonic acid (Hepes) and 150mM NaCl at pH 7.4, fluorescence peak of ME was observed at about 353nm indicating that micro-environment of Tryptophan (Trp) residue in ME was hydrophilic. With the addition of 3.2x10(-4)M calcium saturated EoCen (holoEoCen), the peak of ME was blue-shifted to 339nm, which may be resulted from micro-environmental changes of the peptide. At the same time, fluorescence emission of ME was increased significantly suggesting that new complex of ME-holoEoCen was formed under the experimental conditions. Based on the fluorescence titration curves, the 1:1 stoichiometric ratio of holoEoCen to ME was confirmed. In addition, the conditional binding constant of holoEoCen with ME was calculated to be logK(ME-holoEoCen)=6.59+/-0.14.  相似文献

A novel fluorescent probe for metal cations, which has a large Stokes shift, was synthesized from the reaction of N-(3-carboxy-2-naphthyl)-ethylenediamine-N,N′,N′-triacetic acid (CNEDTA) with 4-(N,N-dimethylaminosulfonyl)-7-(2-aminoethylamino)-2,1,3-benzoxadiazole (DBD-ED). The large Stokes shift is due to the FRET phenomenon between a donor (CNEDTA) and an acceptor (DBD-ED) fluorophore. When the fluorescent probe, DBD-ED-CNEDTA, was excited at 240, 340 and 440 nm, an emission maximum was observed only at 560 nm. However, the fluorescence (FL) at 480 nm, based upon the CNEDTA moiety, was not detected with excitation at 340 nm. The FL intensity of DBD-ED-CNEDTA was dependent upon the acidity of the medium and highest at pH 4.1. DBD-ED-CNEDTA reacted with metal cations, i.e., Zn, Cd, Al, Y, and La, in aqueous medium to form chelates. The spectral change of FL excitation and emission was small before and after the addition of the metal ions. However, the FL intensity was dependent upon the concentrations of the metal ions. In the case of Zn2+, the molar ratio bound with DBD-ED-CNEDTA was calculated as 1:1. The FL intensities after chelate formation of Zn/DBD-ED-CNEDTA (1:1) were enhanced by 3.8-fold (excitation at 340 nm, emission at 560 nm), 4.2-fold (excitation at 440 nm, emission at 560 nm), and 5.9-fold (excitation at 240 nm, emission at 560 nm), respectively. The FL probe was applied to the determination of Zn in a food supplement.  相似文献

Calcium is an important intracellular messenger in all cells, represented here by nerve cells and osteoblast-like (OBL) cells. In neurons the intracellular calcium signal is related, e.g., to bioelectric phenomena. In OBL cells the intracellular calcium concentration ([Ca2+]i) plays a role in the intercellular communication via gap junction channels. [Ca2+]i might be affected by lead (Pb2+). In the nervous system even low Pb2+ concentrations impair learning and memory functions. Considering long-term potentiation (LTP) as a model for learning and memory it has been proven that the generation and maintenance of LTP is reduced by Pb2+ (1–10 μM). As the induction of LTP depends on a rise of [Ca2+]i, we examined the effects of Pb2+ on [Ca2+]i and on currents through calcium permeable membrane pores in dorsal-root ganglion (DRG) neurons, using calcium measurements (Fura-2/ AM) and whole cell patch clamp techniques. To study the effects of Pb2+ on intercellular communication via gap junctions we used rat OBL cells investigating interactions of Pb2+ with electric cell coupling. Furthermore, we examined calcium release activated channel currents (CRACCs) of these cells. Lead (1–10 μM) reduced the stimulated increase of [Ca2+]i in a concentration dependent manner, by reducing both voltage-activated calcium channels (VACCs) and N-methyl-D-aspartate activated calcium channels (NACCs) in neurons. Voltage-activated calcium channel currents (VACCCs) were reduced by Pb2+ with an IC50 of 0.46 μM. The effect was quite specific as voltage activated sodium and potassium channel currents were not significantly altered in the same concentration and voltage range. Furthermore, this effect was not voltage dependent and only partly reversible. A 100-fold higher concentration of Pb2+ (IC50 of 46 μM) was found for the reduction of NACC currents. A small portion of this effect was not reversible. Other agonist activated channel currents (kainate and quisqualate) are not affected. In OBL cells, the calcium entry through calcium release activated channels (CRACs) was reduced in a concentration dependent manner by extracellular Pb2+, the concentrations were between 2 and 20 μM. Surprisingly the electric coupling through gap junction channels in OBL cells was not reduced by either extracellular or intracellular Pb2+ (5–25 μM).

Calcium green I, a ratiometric probe based on fluorescence lifetime measurements, was used to monitor intracellular calcium activity ([Ca2+]i) in RINm5F cells using a time-resolved fluorescence confocal microscope. The probe affinity constant has been recalibrated in single cells using ionomycin as a calcium ionophore and ethylenebis(oxyethylenenitrilo)tetraacetic acid as a calcium buffer; Kd was found to equal 150 nmol/L. The kinetics of ionomycin equilibration showed that the calcium release from calcium stores occurs before equilibration with extracellular calcium. The response to the muscarinic agonist carbachol, measured on 17 cells receiving three consecutive applications was characterized both by a [Ca2+]i peak lasting 50 s without any trailing plateau and by desensitization with a 30% decrease in the response. The dose-dependent response was obtained for a carbachol concentration from 5 mumol/L to 0.5 mmol/L. The ability of our set-up to obtain a value every 10 ms enabled us to record asynchronous spikes of [Ca2+]i in the RINm5F cells. The spikes, lasting less than 1 s, are significantly bigger than the noise, and they are not observed in the colonic HT29 cells.  相似文献

The Bigenelli acid catalyzed condensation of 2‐trifluoromethylbenzaldehyde ( 1 ), urea ( 2 ) and an alkyl acetoacetate ( 3 ) afforded the respective alkyl (Me, Et, i‐Pr, i‐Bu) 6‐methyl‐4‐(2‐trifluoromethylphenyl)‐1,2,3,4‐tetrahydro‐2H‐pyrimidine‐2‐one‐5‐carboxylate ( 4‐7 ). Subsequent N3‐nitration of the alkyl esters ( 4‐7 ) using Cu(NO3)2 3H2O and Ac2O furnished the target alkyl 6‐methyl‐3‐nitro‐4‐(2‐trifluoromethylphenyl)‐1,2,3,4‐tetrahydro‐2H‐pyrimidine‐2‐one‐5‐carboxylates ( 8‐11 ). The N3‐nitro compounds ( 8‐11 ) were less potent calcium channel antagonists (IC50 values in the 1.9 × 10?7 to 3.9 × 10?6 M range) on guinea pig ileal longitudinal smooth muscle than the reference drug nifedipine (Adalat®, IC50 = 1.4 × 10?8 M). In vitro calcium channel modulation studies on guinea pig left atrium (GPLA) showed that the methyl and ethyl esters ( 8‐9 ) induced a weak‐to‐modest positive inotropic (agonist) effect, and that the inactive isopropyl ( 10 ) and isobutyl ( 11 ) esters did not alter the cardiac contractile force of GPLA.  相似文献

Carbon dots (CDs), a new building unit, have been revolutionizing the fields of biomedicine, bioimaging, and optoelectronics with their excellent physical, chemical, and biological properties. However, the difficulty of preparing excitation-dependent full-spectrum fluorescent CDs has seriously hindered their further research in fluorescence emission mechanisms and biomedicine. Here, we report full-spectrum fluorescent CDs that exhibit controlled emission changes from purple (380 nm) to red (613 nm) at room temperature by changing the excitation wavelength, and the excitation dependence was closely related to the regulation of sp2 and sp3 hybrid carbon structures by β-cyclodextrin-related groups. In addition, by regulating the content of β-cyclodextrin, the optimal quantum yields of full-spectrum fluorescent CDs were 8.97%, 8.35%, 7.90%, 9.69% and 17.4% at the excitation wavelengths of 340, 350, 390, 410 and 540 nm, respectively. Due to their excellent biocompatibility and color tunability, full-spectrum fluorescent CDs emitted bright and steady purple, blue, green, yellow, and red fluorescence in MCF-7 cells. Moreover, we optimized the imaging conditions of CDs and mitochondrial-specific dyes; and realized the mitochondrial-targeted co-localization imaging of purple, blue and green fluorescence. After that, we also explored the effect of full-spectrum fluorescent CDs in vivo fluorescence imaging through the intratumorally, subcutaneously, and caudal vein, and found that full-spectrum fluorescent CDs had good fluorescence imaging ability in vivo.  相似文献
