Microcirculation: Electrophysiological Basis For The Response Of Endothelial Cells To Inflammatory Mediators-Bradykinin, Kai Miao
Electronic Theses and Dissertations
Using conventional microelectrodes, I studied the electrical basis for determining the resting V$\sb{\rm m}$ in intact EC's from hamsters. The resting V$\sb{\rm m}$ were found to be $-$40 mV for aortic EC's and $-$43 mV for vena caval EC's. The contributions of ions to the resting V$\sb{\rm m}$ of aortic EC's were compared in terms of the transference number (t$\sb{\rm ion}$). To develop a technique for in situ monitoring changes in V$\sb{\rm m}$ of postcapillary venular EC's in the hamster mesentery, a voltage-sensitive fluorescent probe, bisoxonol, was used to load the cells and the fluorescence signals were analyzed under an …
In Situ Regulation Of Cytosolic Phospolipase A₂, Beverly A. Rzigalinski
In Situ Regulation Of Cytosolic Phospolipase A₂, Beverly A. Rzigalinski
Theses and Dissertations in Biomedical Sciences
The 85 kDa cytosolic phospholipase A2 (cPLA2) is an agonist-responsive effector for intracellular signal transduction through the arachidonate cascade. In vitro studies have demonstrated that this enzyme is regulated by sub-micromolar calcium and is specific for arachidonate as the sn-2 fatty acyl group of phospholipid substrates. However, very little data is available regarding in situ mechanisms which govern the activity of cPLA2. The primarily objective of these studies was to develop an in situ system for the study of cPLA2, and investigate mobilization of arachidonate during signal transduction events.
Dimethylsulfoxide differentiation of the …
Role Of Heat Shock Protein 70 Kda Cognate In Limiting Thermal Inactivation And Refolding Of Heat-Denatured Nuclear Type I Topoisomerase, Kuo-Kuang Wen
Role Of Heat Shock Protein 70 Kda Cognate In Limiting Thermal Inactivation And Refolding Of Heat-Denatured Nuclear Type I Topoisomerase, Kuo-Kuang Wen
Theses and Dissertations in Biomedical Sciences
Previous studies (Ciavarra et al., 1994) demonstrated that the constitutive 70 kDa heat shock protein (hsc70) protected purified topoisomerase I from thermal injury. In addition, hsc70 was capable of regenerating catalytic activity of heat-denatured topoisomerase I. A whole cell lysate was also active in this reaction assay. The present study demonstrates that heat-denatured topoisomerase I is reactivated by a cytosolic fraction and that this activity is dependent on the presence of cytosolic hsc70. The efficacy of hsc70-mediated refolding of heat-denatured topoisomerase I is greatly enhanced by a cytosolic cofactor(s). In all these refolding reactions, exogenous ATP is not required. Size …
A New Model Species For Cultured Teleost Retinal Cell Studies: Light And Scanning Electron Microscopy, Lori Ann Steinfeldt
A New Model Species For Cultured Teleost Retinal Cell Studies: Light And Scanning Electron Microscopy, Lori Ann Steinfeldt
Undergraduate Honors Capstone Projects
Purpose: To examine retinal horizontal and bipolar cells cultured from goldfish (Carassius auratus), black crappie (Pomoxis nigromaculatus) and bluegill (Lepomis macrochirus) on the light and electron microscope levels; and to compare them with cells from a more established model, the wild white bass (Roccus chrysops). Methods: Retinas from all species were dissociated by methods developed with wild white bass (Dowling et al., 1985). Cell type was identified within the first 3 hr and cells were cultured for up to 2 wk in L-15 medium. At various intervals, cells were fixed in glutaraldehyde, …
Analysis Of Human Sperm Chromatin Integrity, Silvina M. Bocca
Analysis Of Human Sperm Chromatin Integrity, Silvina M. Bocca
Theses and Dissertations in Biomedical Sciences
Determining potential maternal or paternal sources of abnormal chromosomal constitution gives opportunity for preconception genetic counseling. The most direct determination is achieved by analyzing the nuclear constitution of the gametes.
The present study evaluated the integrity of human spermatozoal nuclear material in the two condensation stages of chromatin and chromosomes. Original semen samples (ORI) and their swim-up fractions (SW, selected for motility) from men of known (donors) and unknown (patients) fertility were analyzed. The extent of chromatin condensation was assessed by light microscopy and flow cytometry during the time course of a chemically-induced decondensation reaction.
Motile spermatozoa were used to …
Translational Regulation Of The C-Jun Proto-Oncogene, Anil Sehgal
Translational Regulation Of The C-Jun Proto-Oncogene, Anil Sehgal
Theses and Dissertations in Biomedical Sciences
The v-jun oncogene was originally isolated from the ASV17 virus in 1987. Ever since its isolation, extensive work has been done to understand the role of the v-jun oncogene in cell transformation. The c-Jun protein is a transcription factor which binds to the DNA target TGACTCA. The c-Jun protein binds to DNA in the form of dimers. It can form homodimers with itself and heterodimers with Jun family (JunB and JunD), Fos family (FosB, Fra1 and Fra2), or with CREB family members through the leucine zipper motif. Because the c-jun proto-oncogene plays an important role in cell transformation, extensive work …

Secretion of mucus by epidermal goblet cells is an important first line of defense for teleosts. It protects them against many of the biological, physical and chemical insults they encounter in their environment. This project monitored changes in hemoglobin concentration in epidermal mucus and in the density, diameter and mucus quality of epidermal goblet cells in the mummichog, Fundulus heteroclitus, following exposure to creosote-contaminated sediment. Male fish (200) were exposed for 13 days in flowthough aquaria to either an uncontaminated reference sediment or contaminated sediment containing 30% Elizabeth River sediment. Fish were sampled on Days 0, 3, 7 and 13. …
