Synthesis and antifungal properties of sulfanilamide derivatives of chitosan

Sulfanilamide derivatives of chitosan (2-(4-acetamido-2-sulfanimide)-chitosan (HSACS, LSACS), 2-(4-acetamido-2-sulfanimide)-6-sulfo-chitosan (HSACSS, LSACSS) and 2-(4-acetamido-2-sulfanimide)-6-carboxymethyl-chitosan (HSACMCS, LSACMCS)) were prepared using different molecular weights of chitosan (CS), carboxymethyl chitosan (CMCS) and chitosan sulfates (CSS) reacted with 4-acetamidobenzene sulfonyl chloride in dimethylsulfoxide solution. The structures of the derivatives were characterized by FT-IR spectroscopy and elemental analysis, which showed that the substitution degree of sulfanilamide group of HSACS, HSACSS, HSACMCS, LSACS, LSACSS and LSACMCS were 0.623, 0.492, 0.515, 0.576, 0.463 and 0.477, respectively. The solubility of the derivatives (pH<7.5) was higher than that of chitosan (pH<6.5). The antifungal activities of the derivatives against Aiternaria solani and Phomopsis asparagi were evaluated based on the method of Jasso et al. in the experiment. The results indicated that all the prepared sulfanilamide derivatives had a significant inhibiting effect on the investigated fungi in the polymer concentration range from 50 to 500 microg mL(-1). The antifungal activities of the derivatives increased with increasing the molecular weight, concentration or the substitution degree. The sulfanilamide derivatives of CS, CMCS and CSS show stronger antifungal activities than CS, CMCS and CSS.     

On the use of the spin labeling technique in the study of erythrocyte membranes

ESR spectra and scanning electron micrographs of human erythrocytes spin labeled with the conventional stearic acid nitroxide substituted at the 5-position have been obtained over a range of label-to-lipid ratios. While morphological changes as previously reported (Bieri V.G.; Wallach D.F.H.; Lin P.S. (1974) Proc. Natl. Acad. Sci. U. S. 71, 4797–4801) are reproduced, it is shown that at label-to-lipid ratios of 1 : 10 or less the basic ESR spectrum is not significantly affected. At low label concentrations the spin labeling technique is a viable one and can be used to investigate membrane properties.     

Sulfated glycosaminoglycans of human aorta: chondroitin 6-sulfate increase with age.

The proportions of chondroitin 4 and 6 sulfates of intima + media layers of normal human aortae vary with age. The two isomers are in approximately equal amounts in aortae of young individuals, while the 6-sulfate is more abundant in those of adult individuals. This increase of chondroitin 6-sulfate is even more pronounced for intima + media obtained from atherosclerotic aortae.

A Pitfall of the 3-(4,5-dimethylthiazol-2-yl)-5(3-carboxymethonyphenol)-2-(4-sulfophenyl)-2H-tetrazolium (MTS) Assay due to Evaporation in wells on the Edge of a 96 well Plate

The 3-(4,5-dimethylthiazol-2-yl)-5(3-carboxymethonyphenol)-2-(4-sulfophenyl)-2H-tetrazolium (MTS) calorimetric assay is replacing the traditional 3-(4,5-dimethylthiazol-2-yl)-2,5-diphenyltetrazolium bromide (MTT) assay as a fast, one-step assay of cell viability. We have observed that evaporation of the outer wells of a 96 well plate increases the absorbancy by 52% compared to the inner wells. Filling the outer 2 rows of wells with media and replacement of the media prior to addition of the MTS reagent will, however, correct this inaccuracy.     

Interaction of antitumor drugs with human erythrocyte ghost membranes and mastocytoma P815: a spin label study.

The cytotoxic and mutagenic properties of antitumor drugs such as adriamycin, acridines, diacridine, actinomycin D and Pt compounds are related to their interaction with nucleic acids and inhibition of protein synthesis. We have examined their interaction with human erythrocyte ghost membranes and murine mastocytoma cells using spin labeling techniques. These drugs induce changes in electron spin resonance of the spin labeled ghost membranes and in the mastocytoma cells. These alterations suggest that these drugs induce changes in protein conformation of the membranes. The membrane binding properties of these drugs may be important in their mechanism of action.     

Molecular analysis of the TGF-beta controlled gene expression program in chicken embryo dermal myofibroblasts

The myofibroblast is a mesenchymal cell characterized by synthesis of the extracellular matrix, plus contractile and secretory activities. Myofibroblasts participate in physiological tissue repair, but can also cause devastating fibrosis. They are present in the tumor stroma of carcinomas and contribute to tumor growth and spreading. As myofibroblasts derive from various cell types and appear in a variety of tissues, there is marked variability in their phenotype. As regulatory mechanisms of wound healing are likely conserved among vertebrates, detailed knowledge of these mechanisms in more distant species will help to distinguish general from specific phenomena. To provide this as yet missing comparison, we analyzed the impact of the chemical inhibition of TGF-beta signaling on gene expression in chicken embryo dermal myofibroblasts. We revealed genes previously reported in mammalian systems (e.g. SPON2, ASPN, COMP, LUM, HAS2, IL6, CXCL12, VEGFA) as well as novel TGF-beta dependent genes, among them PGF, VEGFC, PTN, FAM180A, FIBIN, ZIC1, ADCY2, RET, HHIP and DNER. Inhibition of TGF-beta signaling also induced multiple genes, including NPR3, AGTR2, MTUS1, SOD3 and NOV. We also analyzed the effects of long term inhibition, and found that it is not able to induce myofibroblast dedifferentiation.
