We have shown in vitro that mechanical stretch triggers activation of quiescent satellite cells of skeletal muscle to enter the cell cycle through an intracellular cascade of events including nitric oxide (NO) synthesis that results in the release of hepatocyte growth factor (HGF) from its extracellular association and its subsequent presentation to signaling receptors. In order to explore the activation mechanism in vivo, stretch experiments were conducted in the living animal using our suspension model developed. This system used the weight of the hind portion of rats to stretch the inside muscles of the left hind limb suspended for a period of 0.5–2.0 h. At the end of the stretch period, the rats received an intraperitoneal injection of bromodeoxyuridine followed by immunocytochemistry for its incorporation as an index of satellite cell activation in vivo. Depending on the period of stretch, bromodeoxyuridine labeling was increased significantly over the contralateral unstretched leg or control muscle from untreated rats. A stretched muscle extract prepared from the 2 h stretched tissue by incubating it in PBS, showed the active form of HGF as revealed by immunoblotting and it could stimulate the activation of unstretched satellite cells. Also, administering NO synthase inhibitor L‐NAME prior to muscle stretch abolished the stretch activation of satellite cells. Therefore, the results from these experiments demonstrate that stretching muscle triggers NO synthesis and HGF release, which could activate satellite cells in vivo. 相似文献

The telomere sequence type (TTAGGG)n is known to be distributed in various phyla in the Animalia and in Mastigophora (Protista). However, the telomere type of
Porifera (sponges), a phylum comprising the lowest multicellular animals, has not been reported. In this study, we examined
the three sponge species Leucetta chagosensis, Halichondria japonica, and Halichondria panicea for the presence of the telomere type (TTAGGG)n by fluorescence in situ hybridization (FISH). The oligonucleotide probe (TTAGGG)7 clearly displayed signals on the interphase nuclei of all three sponges. In contrast, the (TTAGG)7 probe, which has one base fewer than (TTAGGG)7, did not display the signals. These results suggest that the telomeres of the three sponges consist of (TTAGGG)n, which is identical to the sequence type found in many higher multicellular animals and in Mastigophora. Additionally, this
is the first study to reveal a telomere sequence type for Porifera. Moreover, these results suggest that Porifera are phylogenetically
related to Mastigophora, and supports the general theory that Porifera evolved from Mastigophora. Further, this study strongly
suggests that the origin of the (TTAGGG)n telomere sequence is to be found in a common ancestor of either the Bilateria and Porifera, or the Protista. 相似文献

We previously reported that the progression of staining-type hypermelanosis spontaneously ceased at a specific time and area in Japanese flounder Paralichthys olivaceus. To examine whether time is a limiting factor in the spontaneous cessation of staining, we experimentally controlled the initiation and duration of staining by manipulating the bottom substrate condition in the fish tanks. At 151 days post hatching (DPH; 11 weeks), spontaneous cessation of staining was observed in fish reared in tanks without a sandy substrate. However, staining resumed (or was initiated) in tanks where sand was removed from 11 weeks, indicating a strong but temporary effect of bottom sand and the absence of time limitation in the staining progression by 151 DPH. Extended duration of the inhibitory period of hypermelanosis expansion (9 weeks or more) aided in only a 20 % reduction of the final staining area because of the increased rate of staining expansion. The bottom sandy substrate decreased the visibility of the staining area in individuals, but this was observed only before the completion of the staining expansion. These findings are discussed in relation to possible presence of area limitation of future staining, as well as the fundamental nature of staining. 相似文献

Changes in physical properties of two-step heated gels on addition of gluconate were investigated in terms of relationships
between breaking strength and gel stiffness. Regression lines between the breaking strength and the gel stiffness were extended
to the x-axis (gel stiffness), and the intercept was defined as SBSO. The SBSO of the two-step heated gels increased with gluconate contents in salt-ground surimis, suggesting that the harder but less elastic gels formed on addition of gluconate were dose-dependent. Conversely, the denaturation
rate constants of myosin in salt-ground surimis during preheating estimated by means of Ca-ATPase inactivation, loss of salt solubility, and decrease of denaturant solubility
were considerably reduced by gluconate. Thus, the progress of myosin denaturation was strongly suppressed. Increments of SBSO (δSBSO) of the two-step heated gels on addition of gluconate were inversely correlated with the denaturation rate constants of myosin
in salt-ground surimis for every index. Thus, the changes in physical parameters of two-step heated gel caused by gluconate may be associated with
the sluggish progress of myosin denaturation in salt-ground surimi during preheating. 相似文献

ABSTRACT: In order to develop a highly efficient method for mass production of triploid Pacific abalone Haliotis discus hannai , caffeine treatment that is safe and inexpensive was optimized. To suppress the first meiotic division, fertilized eggs were exposed to either a 10- or 15-mM caffeine solution for 24 min beginning at 12 min after fertilization. In most treated batches, the rates of cleaved eggs showed no significant difference from the control batches. However, in most treated batches, the rates of occurrence of normal larvae and the survival rates of the early juveniles were significantly lower than those of the controls. The triploid rates at 6 days to 11 months after settlement in all the treated batches were extremely high (91–100%). There was no significant difference in the mean triploid rates between 10- and 15-mM caffeine treatments. These results suggest that both treatment conditions were conducive to triploid abalone production. One live 2n/3n mosaic specimen was found in the treated batches. However, since the frequency of mosaic was extremely low, the mosaicism would probably not have an adverse effect on the stable production of triploid abalones. 相似文献

Staining-type hypermelanosis, defined as blind-side melanosis occurring after completion of metamorphosis, reduces commercial value in hatchery-produced flatfishes. Detailed characterization was performed on the stained area of juvenile Japanese flounder Paralichthys olivaceus to physiologically understand this phenomenon. From 80 to 120 days after hatching, juveniles were reared in sandy and sandless tanks. By classifying the staining degree into 7 levels, about 2 times higher occurrence of middle-level staining was reconfirmed in sandless tank (about 80 %) than in sandy tank (about 40 %). In the stained area, we found 3 types of chromatophores (melanophore, xanthophore, and iridophore) and ctenoid scales, which would be typically observed on the normal ocular side. Detailed examination on the melanophores revealed further similarity between the stained area and the normal ocular side, in terms of the distribution at 2 layers (shallower and deeper than scale), and the densities in both layers (about 1000 cells/mm2 above scale and 200 cells/mm2 beneath scale). These results strongly suggest that the staining is a status change in the body surface conditions from the blind side to that on the ocular side, and not a simple darkening caused by disordered proliferation of melanophores on the blind side. 相似文献

Genome size (C value) is an important index for phylogenetic studies. Haliotidae (abalones) includes many species widely distributed throughout the world??s oceans, which makes this family interesting for phylogenetic studies. To examine Haliotidae phylogeny, we determined the C value and adenine and thymine base pair content (AT?%) of Haliotis discus hannai and H.?diversicolor aquatilis by using flow cytometry. The C values of H.?discus hannai and H.?diversicolor aquatilis were 1.84 and 1.45?pg, with AT?% of 62.3 and 66.3?%, respectively. These data represent the first report of abalones classified as Pacific Northwest (H.?discus hannai) and Indo-Pacific (H.?diversicolor aquatilis) groups, and provides new validation for previous theories related to Haliotidae phylogeny. 相似文献

Little is known about the survival rate of wild masu salmon Oncorhynchus masou. To examine the effects of smolt length and migration timing on the recovery rate of wild masu salmon, we reanalyzed past
tagging and recovery data (1993–1994). The tagging study was conducted in the Shokanbetsu River, northern Japan; 863 wild
masu salmon smolts were captured, tagged, and released in a downstream site, and a total of 19 fish were recovered in coastal
fisheries and in the natal river the following year. The data were analyzed by a logistic regression analysis with recapture
as a response variable and tagging date and smolt length as explanatory variables; the tagging date had a significant effect
on the recapture rate, whereas the effect of smolt size was not significant. Despite the small number of recaptures, this
study indicates that migration timing is a factor affecting the marine survival of wild masu salmon smolts, although this
conclusion has been repeatedly documented for other species of Pacific salmon Oncorhynchus spp. 相似文献
