Drug-induced erythrocyte membrane internalization.
In vitro erythrocyte membrane internalization, resulting in the formation of membrane-lined vacuoles, can be quantified by a radioisotopic method. A complex of (37)Co-labeled vitamin B(12) and its plasma protein binders is first adsorbed to the cell surface, and after vacuoles are formed, the noninternalized label is removed by washing and trypsin treatment. The residual radioactivity represent...
متن کاملChanges in membrane biophysical properties induced by sphingomyelinase depend on the sphingolipid N-acyl chain.
Ceramide (Cer) is involved in the regulation of several cellular processes by mechanisms that depend on Cer-induced changes on membrane biophysical properties. Accumulating evidence shows that Cers with different N-acyl chain composition differentially impact cell physiology, which may in part be due to specific alterations in membrane biophysical properties. We now address how the sphingolipid...
متن کاملIonic-strength-dependent changes in the structure of the major protein of the human erythrocyte membrane.
The effect of ionic strength on the proteolysis by trypsin of the major membrane-penetrating protein (polypeptide 3) in the erythrocyte membrane was studied. Both the intracellular and extracellular regions of the protein are susceptible to trypsin proteolysis under hypo-osmotic conditions, whereas under iso-osmotic conditions the extracellular region of the protein is resistant to trypsin, and...
متن کاملChanges in Phospholipid Composition of Erythrocyte Membrane in Alzheimer's Disease
BACKGROUND There are several reports indicating a decrease of ethanolamine plasmalogen (pl-PE) in brain tissues and in serum of patients with Alzheimer's disease (AD). The present study aimed to examine the composition of erythrocyte phospholipids including pl-PE in patients with AD. METHOD A high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) method that can separate intact plasmalogens and all ot...
متن کاملthe role of thematic structure in comprehending spoken language
in fact this study is concerned with the relationship between the variation in thematice structure and the comprehension of spoken language. so the study focused on the following questions: 1. is there any relationship between thematic structure and the comprehension of spoken language? 2. which of the themes would have greated thematic force and be easier for the subjects to comprehend? accord...
