| beta-adrenergic stimulation induces cardiac ankyrin repeat protein expression: involvement of protein kinase a and calmodulin-dependent kinase. | the cardiac ankyrin repeat protein (carp), a nuclear transcription co-factor that negatively regulates cardiac gene expression, is increased in human heart failure and in animal models of cardiac hypertrophy. the mechanism by which carp expression is regulated and the consequences of carp overexpression on cardiac contractility are unknown. | 2003 | 14499857 |
| arteriogenesis is associated with an induction of the cardiac ankyrin repeat protein (carp). | collateral artery growth (arteriogenesis) can be induced in rabbit and mice by occlusion of the femoral artery. we aimed to identify genes that are differentially expressed during arteriogenesis. | 2003 | 14499858 |
| effects of chronic hypoxia on inward rectifier k(+) current ( i(k1)) in ventricular myocytes of crucian carp (carassius carassius) heart. | some ectothermic vertebrates show unusually good tolerance to oxygen shortage and it is therefore assumed that they might, as a defense mechanism, decrease number or activity of ion channels in order to reduce membrane leakage and thereby atp-dependent ion pumping in hypoxia. although several studies have provided indirect evidence in favor of this 'channel arrest' hypothesis, only few experiments have examined activity of ion channels directly from animals exposed to chronic hypoxia or anoxia i ... | 2003 | 14502436 |
| expression of fmrfamide gene encoded peptides by identified neurons in embryos and juveniles of the pulmonate snail lymnaea stagnalis. | immunoreactivity to antibodies (abs) against fmrfamide, carp, and three fmrfamide gene encoded peptides, i.e., eflriamide, the non-fmrfamide peptide "seeply," and the 35-amino-acid "acidic peptide," were investigated in developing embryos and juveniles of lymnaea stagnalis. five early transient embryonic neurons revealed immunoreactivity to eflriamide. one of the early neurons, the central posterior, also expressed seeply and carp immunoreactivity. two neurons in the anlage of the left and right ... | 2003 | 14505033 |
| effects of gallium on common carp (cyprinus carpio): acute test, serum biochemistry, and erythrocyte morphology. | gallium (ga) is one of the intermetallic elements that are increasingly being used in making high-speed semiconductors such as gallium arsenide. the purposes of this study were to investigate the effects of gallium on acute toxicity, on serum biochemical variables as well as on erythrocyte morphological changes in the blood stream of common carp (cyprinus carpio). median lethal concentrations were determined in acute tests. the 96-h lc50 value was 19.78 (18.49-21.16) mgl(-1). common carp were ex ... | 2003 | 14505709 |
| increased efficacy of immersion vaccination in fish with hyperosmotic pretreatment. | immersion vaccination is common practice in aquaculture, because of its convenience for mass vaccination with sufficient protection. however, the mechanisms of antigen uptake and presentation, resulting in a protective immune response and the role of the innate immune system therein are largely unknown. the impact of immersion vaccination on fish physiology and on the ensuing innate and specific immune response was characterized with fluorescently labeled particulate and soluble model antigens. ... | 2003 | 14505897 |
| active/de-active transition of respiratory complex i in bacteria, fungi, and animals. | mammalian complex i (nadh:ubiquinone oxidoreductase) exists as a mixture of interconvertible active (a) and de-activated (d) forms. the a-form is capable of nadh:quinone-reductase catalysis, but not the d-form. complex i from the bacterium paracoccus denitrificans, by contrast, exists only in the a-form. this bacterial complex contains 32 fewer subunits than the mammalian complex. the question arises therefore if the structural complexity of complex i from higher organisms correlates with its ab ... | 2003 | 14507430 |
| influence of temperature on the immune response of carp to lipopolysaccharide and whole cell aeromonas bestiarum vaccines. | immunisation of carp, cyprinus carpio, with four different experimental vaccines for protection against a. bestiarum was tested. carp immunized with different antigens of a. bestiarum p1s, and kept at 18 degrees c responded immunologically by relatively high titers of antibodies. antibody production was inhibited at 12 degrees c. | 2003 | 14509353 |
| immunomodulatory activity of the dimerized lysozyme klp-602 after earlier suppression by atrazine in carp (cyprinus carpio l.). | the purpose of this study was to determine the possibility of modulation of the cellular immune response with the dimer of lysozyme klp-602 in fish after suppression induced by atrazine. in the in vivo studies fish were intoxicated with atrazine at a dose of 1/4 ld50, then after 48 hours the dimer of lysozyme klp-602 was administerd at a dose of 0.02 mg/kg of body weight. after 2, 3, 5, 7 and 10 days after intoxication cells from the blood and pronephros of carp were isolated. in the study we de ... | 2003 | 14509361 |
| genomic organization of the rdna cistron of the teleost fish cyprinus carpio. | the seasonal adaptation of the teleost cyprinus carpio to the cyclical changes of its habitat demands physiological compensatory responses. the process involves profound nucleolar adjustments and remarkable changes in rrna synthesis, which affects ribosomal biosynthesis. in this context, we have demonstrated that the synthesis of several proteins involved in ribosomal biogenesis as protein kinase ck2, ribosomal protein l41 and nucleolin, as well as u3 snornp, are differentially regulated in summ ... | 2003 | 14513719 |
| reno-, hepato- and splenomegaly of common carp fingerlings (cyprinus carpio l.) diseased in swimbladder inflammation caused by sphaerospora renicola dyková et lom, 1982. | the weight of internal organs (swimbladder, kidney, liver, spleen) in relation to the body weight was studied in common carp fingerlings divided into three groups on the basis of swimbladder appearance and microscopic examination of the kidney. the fish had been collected from different hungarian fish farms at the time when swimbladder inflammation (sbi) usually occurs (in july and august). the first group comprised fish with severe signs of sbi and massive renal sphaerosporosis, the second grou ... | 2003 | 14516160 |
| cardiac ankyrin repeat protein is preferentially induced in atrophic myofibers of congenital myopathy and spinal muscular atrophy. | cardiac ankyrin repeat protein (carp), which is structurally characterized by the presence of four ankyrin repeat motifs in its central region, is believed to be localized in the nucleus and to participate in the regulation of cardiac-specific gene expression in cardiomyocytes. however, we recently found that carp was induced in skeletal muscle by denervation, leading us to speculate that carp may be induced under some pathological conditions. in the present study, we immunohistochemically analy ... | 2003 | 14516314 |
| asymmetric temporal properties in the receptive field of retinal transient amacrine cells. | the speed of signal conduction is a factor determining the temporal properties of individual neurons and neuronal networks. we observed very different conduction velocities within the receptive field of fast-type on-off transient amacrine cells in carp retina cells, which are tightly coupled to each other via gap junctions. the fastest speeds were found in the dorsal area of the receptive fields, on average five times faster than those detected within the ventral area. the asymmetry was similar ... | 2003 | 14517270 |
| hatching of common carp (cyprinus carpio l.) embryos stored at 4 and -2 degrees c in different concentrations of methanol and sucrose. | the hatching performance of common carp (cyprinus carpio l.) embryos was examined after 12-72-h storage at 4 and -2 degrees c using different concentrations of sucrose (0.1, 0.25, 0.5 and 1.0 m or 3.42, 8.55, 17.10 and 34.2%), methanol (meoh) (0.5, 1.0, 1.5, 2.0, 2.5, 3.0 and 3.5 m or 1.6, 3.2, 4.8, 6.4, 8.0, 9.6 and 11.2%), or varying concentrations of methanol in 0.5 m (17.10%) sucrose. for sucrose, 0.5 m (17.10%) showed the maximum survival (41+/-1% (12 h) to 11+/-1.5% (72 h)) at 4 degrees c. ... | 2003 | 14519463 |
| the changes in common carp blood after short-term zinc exposure. | blood zinc level, hematological parameters and blood cell morphology were evaluated in common carp immediately after 3 h exposure to 20 mg dm(-3) of zinc (zn0), and in 24, 48 and 96 hours after the end of it (zn24, zn48, zn96). blood zinc level in the non-exposed fish was 8 mg dm(-3), reached a maximum of 20 mg dm(-3) in zn48, while it dropped to 9 mg dm(-3) in zn96. zinc caused a stress reaction in fish indicated by an increase in hematocrit value in zn0, and elevated plasma glucose level and t ... | 2003 | 14535641 |
| multiple acute temperature stress affects leucocyte populations and antibody responses in common carp, cyprinus carpio l. | stress is a potential factor causing increased susceptibility of fish to pathogens. in this study, stress-induced immunological changes that may contribute to a decreased immune status were investigated. a 3 h drop in ambient water temperature of 9 degrees c was used as a relative mild and acute stress model for carp. effects of this stressor on the dynamics of leucocyte populations were determined with specific monoclonal antibodies. the relative number of circulating b-lymphocytes in the total ... | 2003 | 14550666 |
| molecular cloning and characterization of crucian carp (carassius auratus l.) interferon regulatory factor 7. | interferon (ifn) can induce an antiviral state via interferon-regulatory transcription factors (irfs), which bind to and control genes directed by the interferon-stimulated response element (isre). here we describe a fish irf, termed cairf7, cloned from a subtractive cdna library which is constructed with mrnas obtained from crucian carp (carassius auratus l.) blastulae embryonic (cab) cells infected by uv-inactivated gchv and mock-infected cells. cairf7 cdna was found to be 1816 bp in length, w ... | 2003 | 14550671 |
| stimulation of antioxidant enzymes levels in carp (cyprinus carpio l.) infected by ptychobothrium sp. (cestoda). | increased antioxidant enzymatic activities were observed in carp parasitised by ptychobothrium sp. when compared with healthy fish. this antioxidant response could contribute to neutralise the oxidative stress normally induced by parasitism. | 2003 | 14550672 |
| development of quantitative vitellogenin-elisas for fish test species used in endocrine disruptor screening. | the yolk protein precursor vitellogenin (vtg) in plasma has proved to be a simple and sensitive biomarker for assessing exposure of fish to environmental estrogens. within international bodies such as the organization for economic cooperation and development (oecd) work is ongoing to develop screening and testing programmes for endocrine disrupting effects of new chemicals, and in the focus of this development are the fish test species common carp (cyprinus carpio), fathead minnow (pimephales pr ... | 2004 | 14551668 |
| feminization of wild carp, cyprinus carpio, in a polluted environment: plasma steroid hormones, gonadal morphology and xenobiotic metabolizing system. | wild carp, cyprinus carpio, were sampled in january and march 2000 in a section of the anoia river (ne spain) known to be polluted by estrogenic compounds. at each sampling time, three groups were distinguished: (1) apparently normal males; (2) apparently normal females; and (3) affected fish. the latter were characterized by the simultaneous development of male and female tissue in their gonads at a macroscopical level (six out of 31 fish sampled at this particular point), or testicular atrophy ... | 2003 | 14559296 |

| temperature-dependent developmental variation in lobster muscle myosin heavy chain isoforms. | the temperature- and developmental-regulation of myosin heavy chain (myhc) expression and primary sequence was investigated in the abdominal musculature of developing homarus gammarus larvae acclimated to 10, 14 and 19+/-1 degrees c. myhc loop 1 (atp binding) and loop 2 (actin binding) regions were sequenced and compared. the deduced amino acid sequence of myhc loop 1 showed a development-related increase in net charge from +1 to +2 between larval stages 1 and 2, which was not temperature-depend ... | 2003 | 14563558 |
| cyclic amp-receptor proteins in human salivary glands. | in mammalian species, cyclic amp receptor proteins (carp) are the regulatory (r) subunits of cyclic amp-dependent protein kinase (pka), the cellular effector of cyclic amp-mediated signal transduction. an isoform of the pka type ii r subunit (rii), carp, is a polyfunctional protein, present in most tissues and cells. it is expressed in salivary and other glands of rodents, and secreted into the saliva of rats and man. the aim of the present study was to determine the expression of carp in human ... | 2002 | 14566599 |
| [effect of zinc ions, manganese and lead ions on the thermostable proteins of carp liver]. | effect of comparatively low concentration of the zinc, manganese, lead ions (0.1, 0.13 and 0.01 mg/l respectively) on the thermostable proteins (tp) of the carp liver after fish incubation for 14 days was studied. it is revealed that about 30 of zinc, 40% of manganese and 6% of lead were bound in the tp solution. the results of chromatography on sephadex g-75 show, that the metallothionein-like proteins (mt, m-6 kda) were the primary metal-binding proteins among the tp for zinc and manganese, an ... | 2015 | 14574743 |
| long-term exposure effects in vitellogenin, sex hormones, and biotransformation enzymes in female carp in relation to a sewage treatment works. | in the present study, the estrogenic response in the reproductive cycle of female carp, cyprinus carpio, in relation to a sewage treatment works (stws) was measured as: alterations in plasmatic and hepatic vitellogenin (vtg) content, plasma levels of testosterone (t) and estradiol (e2), and effects on key enzymes of phases i and ii biotransformation, ethoxyresorufin o-deethylase (erod) and glutathione s-transferase (gst). low plasma vtg content in females collected 4 km downstream of an effluent ... | 2003 | 14575677 |
| glycinergic input to carp retinal ganglion cells may be mediated by glycine receptors with homologous kinetics. | current responses of carp retinal ganglion cells (rgcs) retrogradely labeled and freshly dissociated to rapid application of glycine were recorded by whole-cell patch clamp techniques and effects of glycine antagonists on these responses were analyzed. the current response to maintained application of glycine at a concentration higher than 30 microm exhibited desensitization, which was well fitted to a monoexponential function. strychnine (1 microm), a glycine receptor antagonist, completely blo ... | 2003 | 14575889 |
| the muscle ankyrin repeat proteins: carp, ankrd2/arpp and darp as a family of titin filament-based stress response molecules. | carp, ankrd-2/arpp, and darp, are three members of a conserved gene family, referred to here as marps (muscle ankyrin repeat proteins). the expression of marps is induced upon injury and hypertrophy (carp), stretch or denervation (ankrd2/arpp), and during recovery following starvation (darp), suggesting that they are involved in muscle stress response pathways. here, we show that marp family members contain within their ankyrin repeat region a binding site for the myofibrillar elastic protein ti ... | 2003 | 14583192 |
| efficient vaccine against the virus causing a lethal disease in cultured cyprinus carpio. | we have isolated a virus, which causes a mortal disease in cultured ornamental koi and common carps (cyprinus carpio) in many countries worldwide. this unclassified virus, which causes nephritis and gill necrosis, and so has been given the name carp nephritis and gill necrosis virus (cngv), has a morphology resembling the herpes virus, but bears a genomic dna of ca 250-300 kbp. so far, both others and we have been unable to find cngv-dna sequences possessing a significant similarity to known dna ... | 2003 | 14585675 |
| binding of perfluorinated fatty acids to serum proteins. | perfluorooctane sulfonic acid (pfos) accumulates in the liver and blood of exposed organisms. the potential for these surfactant molecules to interfere with hormone/protein interactions in blood is of concern given the importance of these interactions. the pfos binding to serum proteins was investigated by assessing its ability to displace a variety of steroid hormones from specific binding proteins in the serum of birds and fishes. perfluorooctane sulfonic acid had only a weak ability to displa ... | 2003 | 14587903 |
| regulation of action potential duration under acute heat stress by i(k,atp) and i(k1) in fish cardiac myocytes. | the mechanism underlying temperature-dependent shortening of action potential (ap) duration was examined in the fish (carassius carassius l.) heart ventricle. acute temperature change from +5 to +18 degrees c (heat stress) shortened ap duration from 2.8 +/- 0.3 to 1.3 +/- 0.1 s in intact ventricles. in 56% (18 of 32) of enzymatically isolated myocytes, heat stress also induced reversible opening of atp-sensitive k+ channels and increased their single-channel conductance from 37 +/- 12 ps at +8 d ... | 2004 | 14592934 |
| precise and efficient cleavage of recombinant fusion proteins using mammalian aspartic proteases. | expression of recombinant proteins as translational fusions is commonly employed to enhance stability, increase solubility and facilitate purification of the desired protein. in general, such fusion proteins must be cleaved to release the mature protein in its native form. the usefulness of the procedure depends on the efficiency and precision of cleavage and its cost per unit activity. we report here the development of a general procedure for precise and highly efficient cleavage of recombinant ... | 2003 | 14600208 |
| the influence of translational selection on codon usage in fishes from the family cyprinidae. | in this paper, the main factors shaping codon usage in three species of fishes that belong to the family cyprinidae (namely brachidanio rerio, cyprinus carpio, and carassius auratus) are reported. correspondence analysis (coa), a commonly used multivariate statistical approach, was used to analyze codon usage bias. our results show that the main trend is strongly correlated with the gc(3) content at silent sites of each sequence. on the other hand, the second axis discriminates between presumed ... | 2003 | 14604802 |
| feeding level and individual metabolic rate affect delta 13c and delta 15n values in carp: implications for food web studies. | stable isotope analyses are often used to calculate relative contributions of multiple food sources in an animal's diet. one prerequisite for a precise calculation is the determination of the diet-tissue fractionation factor. isotopic ratios in animals are not only affected by the composition of the diet, but also by the amount of food consumed. previous findings regarding the latter point are controversial. as stable isotope analyses have often been used to investigate aquatic food webs, an exp ... | 2004 | 14608500 |
| expression in escherchia coli and purification of sea bass (dicentrarchus labrax) interleukin 1beta, a possible immunoadjuvant in aquaculture. | interleukin 1beta (il-1beta) is a pleiotropic cytokine that plays a pivotal role in regulating immune responses. our group has recently cloned il-1beta from sea bass (dicentrarchus labrax), one of the main mediterranean aquacultured fish species. the cdna is 1292 bp and codes for a deduced peptide of 29.4 kda with a pi of 5.1. as for trout and carp il-1beta precursor sequence, no candidate cut site for ice (il-1beta converting enzyme) enzyme was apparent in the alignments of sea bass il-1beta wi ... | 2004 | 14612985 |
| use of vitellogenin mrna as a biomarker for endocrine disruption in feral and cultured fish. | the presence of the female-specific yolk protein precursor vitellogenin in blood and liver from male fish is widely used as an indicator of endocrine disruption. we studied the induction of vitellogenin mrna in liver from several species of fish, both maintained in fish tanks or captured in the wild. our procedure requires minute amounts of liver samples (down to 50 mg), and can be applied to field samples if the appropriate rna-stabilisation agent is used. we used reverse-transcriptase pcr and ... | 2004 | 14618290 |
| recovery of fertility in male hybrids of a cross between goldfish and common carp by transplantation of pgc (primordial germ cell)-containing graft. | in germ-line chimera, gametes originate from both the donor and recipient. in order to increase the proportion of gametes from the donor, the elimination or reduction of primordial germ cells (pgcs) from the recipient is required. in the present study, histological and genetic analyses were performed in the chimeric fish obtained when sterile goldfish x common carp hybrid and fertile goldfish embryos were used as a recipient and donor, respectively. chimerism was induced by transplantation of th ... | 2003 | 14620952 |
| cloning, characterization and expression analysis of interleukin-10 from the common carp, cyprinus carpio l. | interleukin (il)-10 was cloned from the common carp (cyprinus carpio l.) using il-10 primers from carp head kidney following stimulation with concanavalin a and lipopolysaccharide. the cdna consisted of a 1096 bp sequence containing a 55 bp 5' untranslated region and a 498 bp 3' untranslated region. an open reading frame of 543 bp encoded a putative 180 amino acid protein with a putative signal peptide of 22 amino acids. the signature motif of il-10 is conserved in carp sequence. a 2083 bp genom ... | 2003 | 14622251 |
| molecular characterization of d-amino acid oxidase from common carp cyprinus carpio and its induction with exogenous free d-alanine. | a full-length cdna encoding d-amino acid oxidase (dao, ec 1.4.3.3) was cloned and sequenced from the hepatopancreas of carp fed a diet supplemented with d-alanine. this clone contained an open reading frame encoding 347 amino acid residues. the deduced amino acid sequence exhibited about 60 and 19-29% identity to mammalian and microbial daos, respectively. the expression of full-length carp dao cdna in escherichia coli resulted in a significant level of protein with dao activity. in carp fed the ... | 2003 | 14622982 |
| common genomic response in different mouse models of beta-adrenergic-induced cardiomyopathy. | although beta-adrenergic receptor (ar) blockade therapy is beneficial in the treatment of heart failure, little is known regarding the transcriptional mechanisms underlying this salutary action. | 2003 | 14623810 |
| uncoupling of horizontal cells alters the receptive fields of retinal bipolar cells. | effects of uncoupling of horizontal cells by 1-octanol, a non-specific gap junction uncoupling agent, on the receptive field organization of cone-dominant bipolar cells were investigated in isolated, superfused carp retina, using intracellular recording techniques. at 1 mm, 1-octanol increased responses of cone driven horizontal cells to light spots, but decreased those to light annuli, indicating a reduction of the receptive field size of these cells by uncoupling. furthermore, 1-octanol elimin ... | 2003 | 14625439 |
| cadmium-induced cellular and immunological responses in cyprinus carpio infected with the blood parasite, sanguinicola inermis. | little is known about immune responses in teleosts as linked to the aetiology of pollutants and parasitic diseases and in particular their combined effects on the host. cadmium(cd)-mediated immunological responses in the thymus and pronephros of juvenile carp (cyprinus carpio), experimentally infected with the blood parasite, sanguinicola inermis (trematoda: sanguinicolidae) for 30 days followed by an exposure to 0.1 mg cd2+ l(-1) for 48 or 168 h were investigated. differential organ-specific ch ... | 2003 | 14627452 |
| complete sequencing and expression of three complement components, c1r, c4 and c1 inhibitor, of the classical activation pathway of the complement system in rainbow trout oncorhynchus mykiss. | three complement components, c1r, c4 and c1 inhibitor, of the classical activation pathway have been fully sequenced and their expression investigated in rainbow trout (oncorhynchus mykiss). trout c1r cdna encodes a 707-amino-acid (aa) protein with a theoretical m(r) of 77,200. the trout translation shows highest homology with carp c1r/s, and lower, equal homologies to mammalian c1r and c1s, and masps from other vertebrate species. however, phylogenetic analysis and structural features suggest t ... | 2003 | 14628103 |
| dynamics of microcystins-lr and -rr in the phytoplanktivorous silver carp in a sub-chronic toxicity experiment. | a sub-chronic toxicity experiment was conducted to examine tissue distribution and depuration of two microcystins (microcystin-lr and microcystin -rr) in the phytoplanktivorous filter-feeding silver carp during a course of 80 days. two large tanks (a, b) were used, and in tank a, the fish were fed naturally with fresh microcystis viridis cells (collected from a eutrophic pond) throughout the experiment, while in tank b, the food of the fish were m. viridis cells for the first 40 days and then ch ... | 2004 | 14638304 |
| coexistence of a sexual and an unisexual form stabilized by parasites. | an unisexual species (either parthenogenetic or gynogenetic form) often coexists sympatrically with a closely related anisogamous sexual species, forming a unisexual complex. this is puzzling because, all else being equal, a sexual population with the two-fold cost of sex (or the cost of producing males) cannot coexist with a unisexual population. this suggests that some ecological processes are at work to make possible the coexistence of the unisexual complex. field and laboratory studies sugge ... | 2004 | 14643188 |
| common carp insulin-like growth factor-i gene: complete nucleotide sequence and functional characterization of the 5'-flanking region. | insulin-like growth factor-i (igf-i) plays an important role in the growth and development of fish. to understand the molecular mechanism which controls the transcription of the igf-i gene in common carp, we have cloned and completely sequenced the igf-i gene and the 5'-flanking region from a local tropical fish, the common carp (cyprinus carpio), and characterized its promoter activity by transfection into human embryonic kidney (293ghr) cells which express the human growth hormone (gh) recepto ... | 2003 | 14644506 |
| dynamics of experimental production of thelohanellus hovorkai (myxozoa: myxosporea) in fish and oligochaete alternate hosts. | the dynamics of development and production of thelohanellus hovorkai (myxozoa) were examined to investigate factors inducing haemorrhagic thelohanellosis in carp, cyprinus carpio l. fresh actinospores of t. hovorkai were harvested from the oligochaete alternate host, branchiura sowerbyi, and used for infection experiments with myxosporean-free carp. visualization of actinospores by fluorescent labelling revealed that sporoplasms penetrated the gill filaments of carp immersed in an actinospore su ... | 2003 | 14653315 |
| susceptibility of zebrafish (danio rerio) to a model pathogen, spring viremia of carp virus. | to improve our understanding of the genetic basis of fish disease, we developed a pathogen model, using zebrafish (danio rerio) and spring virema of carp virus (svcv). replicate groups of 10 fish were acclimated to 20 or 24 degrees c, then were exposed to svcv concentrations of 10(3) to 10(5) plaque-forming units per milliliter (pfu/ml) of water and observed daily. in a second trial, fish were acclimated to 15 degrees c, and replicate groups of 10 fish were exposed to svcv at a concentration of ... | 2003 | 14655994 |
