In histochemical studies using fixed brain tissue, NADPH-diaphorase has been found to be colocalized with soluble nitric oxide synthase. In the present study, using fresh tissues from eight different regions of rat brain, NADPH-diaphorase activity was found mostly in the particulate fraction, whereas most of the nitric oxide synthase activity was located to the cytosolic fraction. Also, the distribution of NADPH-diaphorase activity among brain regions was different from that of nitric oxide synthase. Pretreatment of the fractions with paraformaldehyde virtually abolished the NADPH-diaphorase activity in the particulate fraction, whereas 40-60% of the NADPH-diaphorase activity remained intact in the cytosolic fraction. These results suggest that during fixation most NADPH-diaphorase activity is inactivated and only some of the NADPH-diaphorase activity associated with soluble nitric oxide synthase remains intact.
在利用固定脑组织进行的组织化学研究中,已发现还原型辅酶Ⅱ黄递酶与可溶性一氧化氮合酶共定位。在本研究中,使用来自大鼠脑八个不同区域的新鲜组织,发现还原型辅酶Ⅱ黄递酶活性大多存在于微粒部分,而大部分一氧化氮合酶活性位于胞质部分。此外,还原型辅酶Ⅱ黄递酶活性在脑区之间的分布与一氧化氮合酶的分布不同。用多聚甲醛预处理这些部分实际上消除了微粒部分的还原型辅酶Ⅱ黄递酶活性,而胞质部分中40%-60%的还原型辅酶Ⅱ黄递酶活性保持完整。这些结果表明,在固定过程中,大多数还原型辅酶Ⅱ黄递酶活性被灭活,只有一些与可溶性一氧化氮合酶相关的还原型辅酶Ⅱ黄递酶活性保持完整。
