BLM induces DNA degradation in living cells. We used CHO cells with maximal chromatin compactness (cells synchronized in metaphase), cells with chromatin decondensed by Na butyrate treatments, and control cells with normal chromatin condensation in order to analyze the correlation between chromatin compactness, DNA sensitivity to BLM, efficiency of repair of BLM-induced DNA lesions, and cell viability. We found that the DNA sensitivity to BLM and the efficiency of DNA repair is inversely correlated with the degree of chromatin coiling. Cells with decondensed chromatin are those showing higher DNA sensitivity to BLM but also those having the best efficiency to mend the damage. Accordingly, these cells show an amount of residual DNA lesions and a curve of growth similar to that of control cells. The situation is just the opposite for metaphase cells. The DNA of these cells is more resistant to BLM, but the damage is poorly repaired. The final result is that BLM induces a higher concentration of residual DNA lesions and a lower viability in metaphase than in control cells. Our results suggest that chromatin structure influences the quantity and repairability of the BLM-induced lesions, producing a higher incidence of double strand break in the DNA of cells with marked chromatin condensation. © 1993 Wiley-Liss, Inc. 相似文献

Glutamate neurotoxicity in mouse cortical neurons: atypical necrosis with DNA ladders and chromatin condensation 总被引:4,自引:0,他引:4
The possibility that glutamate may induce neuronal apoptosis was examined in cultured cortical neurons. Neurons underwent widespread death 24 h following exposure to 50 μM glutamate. The glutamate neurotoxicity was blocked by inclusion of the glutamate antagonists, 10 μM MK-801 and 50 μM CNQX. The death was characterized by swelling cell body and bursting cytoplasmic membrane in the early phase of degeneration, suggesting that glutamate produces receptor-mediated excitotoxic necrosis. With blockade of excitotoxicity by addition of 10 μM MK-801 and 50 μM CNQX, cortical neurons exposed to 2 mM glutamate underwent necrosis morphologically identical to excitotoxicity but sensitive to 100 μM trolox, an antioxidant, suggesting that high doses of glutamate produce oxidative neuronal necrosis via non-receptor-mediated mechanisms. Interestingly, internucleosomal DNA fragmentation and chromatin condensation were observed in the course of glutamate-induced neuronal necrosis. 相似文献

Quantitative techniques for in vivo and in vitro angiogenesis were developed using an image analyser. In the in vivo study, a Millipore chamber filled with mouse sarcoma 180 (S180) cells was transplanted subcutaneously to the dorsal side of a mouse, and the area of neovascularization induced by the tumour cells was quantified by image analysis. Images of vascular networks with poor contrast had their contrast improved by Laplacean transformation. The area of vascular network was 16.9 mm2 in the control group without tumour cells and 44.2 mm2 in the group with tumour cells, demonstrating a significant increase in neovascularized area by tumour cells. In the in vitro study, migration of vascular endothelial cells was induced with conditioned media of S180 cells. Image analysis was used to count automatically the nuclei of migrated endothelial cells, which were stained violet with Giemsa's solution. This automated measurement by image analyser is expected to save labour and time. Checkerboard analysis revealed that the endothelial cell migration induced by S180-conditioned medium was due to chemotaxis. The quantitation method using an automated image analyser is valuable in evaluating the induction of neovascularization by tumours and the effect of pharmacological agents on tumour angiogenesis in vivo and in vitro 相似文献

This study presents the development and evaluation of an image processing software for computer-assisted cellular structure counting. The proposed software consists of a set of processing and analytical tools which allows its use in several applications of cell and cellular structure counting. A particular application in AgNOR quantitative analysis is presented. The knowledge obtained from experienced pathologists has been codified in a sequence of processing steps in order to allow automatic estimation of the mean number of AgNORs per cell in ameloblastomas. The performance of the presented software in such application was verified by comparing the data provided by visual analysis, by two observers previously calibrated and under supervision of two experienced specialists (Group 1) and by the computer program (Group 2). No statistical difference was observed (p < 0.05) between the two groups. The use of the proposed method in AgNOR applications permitted attainment of accurate and precise data without the difficulties frequently found in the traditional visual analysis method (time, training and subjectivity). The developed software is an interesting tool as an aid in the study (estimation of the number of cells and cellular structures) of malignant and benign neoplasms. 相似文献

Two statistical image processing formalisms involving the entropy concept and Bayesian analysis are studied. Iterative imaging algorithms of the formalisms are formulated by employing, for the purpose of performance evaluation and easy implementation, the steepet descent method for the solution of entropy concept and the expectation maximization technique for the solution of Bayesian analysis. Quantitative evaluation and comparison of the convergence performance of the iterative algorithms on computer generated ideal and experimental radioisotope phantom imaging noisy data are given. The study concludes that the entropy algorithm can converge relatively fast, but it is very sensitive to noise in measured data due to the ill-posed nature of inverse problems and its lack of ability to consider the statistics of data and has the advantage of Bayesian algorithm converges monotonically even with noisy data and has the advantage of considering both the a priori source distribution information and the statistical fluctuation of measured data. 相似文献

When the mouse lymphoma (L-1210) cells are treated with methylnitrosourea (MNU) at 37 degrees C for 30 min and then cultured for 4 h in a normal medium nuclear structure and functions of the cells are changed. We have investigated the mechanism as to how nuclear structure and functions are changed by MNU. In MNU-treated cells euchromatin area diminishes and chromatin condensation occurs. [3H]thymidine and [3H]uridine uptakes of the MNU-treated cells decrease. In contrast, when the MNU-treated cells are cultured in the presence of 3-aminobenzamide, a specific inhibitor of poly(ADP-ribose) synthetase changes of nuclear structure do not appear. [3H]Thymidine and [3H]uridine uptakes are partially and almost completely recovered, respectively. Autoradiographs of the cells labelled with [3H]NAD, a substrate of poly(ADP-ribose) synthetase show that silver grains due to [3H]ADP-ribose are densely located only in the cells where chromatin condensation occurs. Chromatin-bound proteins of molecular masses 20-25 X 10(3) daltons are specifically poly(ADP-ribosyl)ated in the MNU-treated cells. These results suggest that MNU-induced chromatin condensation is caused by poly(ADP-ribosyl)ation of chromatinbound proteins. 相似文献

An echographic image processing method has been developed, and validated by in vitro experiments, for the 3D reconstruction
of the long bones of the newborn. The reconstruction of successive parallel cross-sections is obtained by a 2D reconstruction
technique using radial B-scan image processing. The automatic segmentation of all the calculated images allows the extraction
of the external contours of the skeleton. After structuring the explored volume using a contour association method, a contour
interpolation step is required to solve the anisotropy problem, to obtain a 3D representation with cubic voxel lists. The
results are encouraging, and a new mechanical part prototype of the acquisition system is under test for in vivo experiments.
The main originality of the paper lies in the combination of different steps to obtain a practical solution to a clinical
problem. 相似文献

Inasmuch as caput epididymal and even testicular spermatozoaare now being used to generate pregnancies by direct injectioninto the oocyte, differences in the chromatin of spermatozoafrom proximal and distal locations in the epidldymis were studied.Acridine Orange staining was used to investigate chromatin structurein human spermatozoa which had left the testis and were undergoingmaturation in the epididymis. Measurement of green and red fluorescenceIntensities of human spermatozoa by flow cytometry demonstrateda decrease in binding of Acridine Orange to DNA as the spermatozoatraversed the epididymis. Using spermatozoa from the cauda epididymisas the standard, the percentages of spermatozoa from the efferentduct, proximal corpus epididymis, midcorpus epididymis, distalcorpus epididymis, proximal cauda epidldymis and distal caudaepididymis that had matured with regard to chromatin condensationwere 28 ± 5, 39 ± 3, 49 ± 5, 64 ±5, 69 ± 6 and 74 ± 4% respectively. It may beconcluded that eggs fertilized by ejaculated spermatozoa receivea more highly condensed form of chromatin than that receivedby eggs Inseminated with proximal epididymal or testicular spermatozoa. 相似文献

In this paper an automated dermatological tool for the parameterization of melanomas is presented. The system is based on the standard ABCD Rule and dermatological Pattern Recognition protocols. On the one hand, a complete stack of algorithms for the asymmetry, border, color, and diameter parameterization were developed. On the other hand, three automatic algorithms for digital image processing have been developed in order to detect the appropriate patterns. These allow one to calculate certain quantitative features based on the aspect and inner patterns of the melanoma using simple-operation algorithms, in order to minimize response time. The database used consists of 160 500×500-pixel RGB images (20 images per pattern) cataloged by dermatologists, and the results have turned out to be successful according to assessment by medical experts. While the ABCD algorithms are mathematically reliable, the proposed algorithms for pattern recognition produced a remarkable rate of globular, reticular, and blue veil Pattern recognition, with an average above 85% of accuracy. It thus proves to be a reliable system when performing a diagnosis. 相似文献

The increased use of digital processing techniques in Medical Radiations imaging modalities, along with the rapid advance in information technology has resulted in a significant change in the delivery of radiographic teaching programs. This paper details a methodology used to concurrently educate radiographers in both computer programming and image processing. The students learn to program in visual basic applications (VBA), and the programming skills are contextualised by requiring the students to write a digital subtraction angiography (DSA) package. Program code generation and image presentation interface is undertaken by the spreadsheet Microsoft Excel. The user-friendly nature of this common interface enables all students to readily begin program creation. The teaching of programming and image processing skills by this method may be readily generalised to other vocational fields where digital image manipulation is a professional requirement. 相似文献

Phase contrast photographs of locomotive leukemia cells from a time lapse film were analyzed by an image processing computer system. Various structural and directional parameters were chosen to characterize dislocation and shape changes of a moving cell. A correlation could be established between the cellular image seen in time lapse films and the numerical shape configuration based on automated image analysis. It seems, therefore, that the parameters chosen represent a basis for further evaluation of the quantitative model of cellular locomotion. 相似文献
