Cellular internalization of proinsulin C-peptide

Proinsulin C-peptide is known to bind specifically to cell membranes and to exert intracellular effects, but whether it is internalized in target cells is unknown. In this study, using confocal microscopy and immunostained or rhodamine-labeled peptide, we show that C-peptide is internalized and localized to the cytosol of Swiss 3T3 and HEK-293 cells. In addition, transport into nuclei was found using the labeled peptide. The internalization was followed at 37°C for up to 1 h, and was reduced at 4°C and after preincubation with pertussis toxin. Hence, it is concluded to occur via an energy-dependent, pertussis toxin-sensitive mechanism and without detectable degradation within the experimental time course. Surface plasmon resonance measurements demonstrated binding of HEK-293 cell extract components to C-peptide, and subsequent elution of bound material revealed the components to be intracellular proteins. The identification of C-peptide cellular internalization, intracellular binding proteins, absence of rapid subsequent C-peptide degradation and apparent nuclear internalization support a maintained activity similar to that of an intracrine peptide hormone. Hence, the data suggest the possibility of one further C-peptide site of action. Received 31 October 2006; received after revision 27 December 2006; accepted 30 December 2006     

绿豆子叶衰老过程中线粒体膜对几种氨基酸的透性

采用线粒体膨胀技术就不同衰老程度的绿豆子叶线粒体膜对氨基酸的透性进行了测定，结果表明，随着绿豆子叶的衰老，离体线粒体膜在脯氨酸、丝氨酸和甘氨酸等渗溶液中的膨胀率从２ｄ龄至５ｄ龄子叶逐渐下降，５ｄ龄时，线粒体结构与功能已受到明显破坏，文中对膨胀率下降的原因进行了讨论。

Selective protection of cells against X-irradiation. Isoproterenol protects only those cells that possesβ-adrenoreceptors

Summary In mixed culture of Chinese hamster fibroblatst, clone 431, and transformed murine L fibroblasts, clone B-82, isoproterenol was found to protect only 431 cells against ionizing radiation. It was shown that 431 cells, in contrast to B-82 cells, possess-adrenoreceptors, and the radioprotective effect of isoproterenol can be realized only if this agent interacts with-adrenoreceptors coupled with the cAMP system. Since malignization often causes the disappearance of-adrenergic and other hormone receptors, the combined culturing and irradiation of the cells studied can be regarded as a model of the growth of malignant cells (B-82) among normal tissue cells (431 cells) under conditions of radiation therapy. A possibility of selective protection against radiation damage of normal tissue cells, with retention of the former radiosensitivity of tumor cells, is discussed.     

离散时间细胞神经网络中的分岔和混沌

研究了离散时间细胞神经网络（ＤＴＣＮＮ）中的分岔和混沌,ＤＴＣＮＮ中的细胞与连续时间ＣＮＮ中的细胞相似,具有局部耦合,其输出方程是罗切斯蒂方程。分别讨论了２种结构（有边界和无边界）的ＤＴＣＮＮ的混沌特性,ＤＴＣＮＮ的混沌与全局耦合系统一的混沌相似,但由于其局部耦合的结构,其混沌与后者有所不同。提出了有关分岔与混沌的一些有兴趣的理论问题和实际问题．
