Preparation of Membrane Vesicles Enriched in ATP-Dependent Proton Transport from Suspension Cultures of Tomato Cells.
Membranes enriched in ATP-dependent proton transport were prepared from suspension cultures of tomato cells (Lycopersicon esculentum Mill cv VF36). Suspension cultures were a source of large quantities of membranes from rapidly growing, undifferentiated cells. Proton transport activity was assayed as quench of acridine orange fluorescence. The activity of the proton translocating ATPase and of ...
متن کاملPossible ATP release through lysosomal exocytosis from primary sensory neurons.
The adenosine triphosphate (ATP) plays important roles under physiological and pathological conditions such as traumatic brain injury, neuroinflammation and neuropathic pain. In the present study, we set out to study the role of lysosomal vesicles on ATP release from the dorsal root ganglion neurons. We found that the lysosomal vesicles, which contain the quinacrine-positive fluorescence and ex...
متن کاملNon-cholinergic effects of paraoxon on [3h]-GABA release from rat cerebellar giant synaptosomes
Diethyl p-nitrophenyl phosphate (paraoxon) is the active toxic metabolite of parathion. Some evidences indicate that OPs affect the GABA system via noncholinergic mechanisms. The purpose of this study was to investigate the effects of paraoxon on K+-evoked [3H]-GABA release from cerebellar synaptosomes. Adult male rats (200 ± 30 g; 3-4 months old) were sacrificed by decapitation and the cerebel...
متن کاملCharacterization of voltage-gated ionic channels in cholinergic amacrine cells in the mouse retina.
Recent studies have shown that cholinergic amacrine cells possess unique membrane properties. However, voltage-gated ionic channels in cholinergic amacrine cells have not been characterized systematically. In this study, using electrophysiological and immunohistochemical techniques, we examined voltage-gated ionic channels in a transgenic mouse line the cholinergic amacrine cells of which were ...
متن کاملEnriched Monolayer Precursor Cell Cultures from Micro-Dissected Adult Mouse Dentate Gyrus Yield Functional Granule Cell-Like Neurons
BACKGROUND Stem cell cultures are key tools of basic and applied research in Regenerative Medicine. In the adult mammalian brain, lifelong neurogenesis originating from local precursor cells occurs in the neurogenic regions of the hippocampal dentate gyrus. Despite widespread interest in adult hippocampal neurogenesis and the use of mouse models to study it, no protocol existed for adult murine...
