The effect of ELF-EMF on DNA through changes in antioxidative enzyme activities has not been sufficiently explored yet. The aim of this study was to determine ELF-EMF effect on antioxidative enzymes in cancer cell line and genotoxic potential on normal human lymphocytes. K562 cells were exposed to 50 Hz ELF-EMF (40 μT, 100 μT; 3 h, 24 h) and spectrophotometric determination of lipid peroxidation and antioxidative enzyme activities was conducted. Genotoxicity of ELF-EMF (50 Hz, 100 μT) was investigated by cytokinesis-block micronucleus assay in a normal human lymphocytes (exposure 24 h and 48 h). Results demonstrated that ELF-EMF did not alter the process of lipid peroxidation and superoxide dismutase activity. Catalase activity was increased only after application of 100 μT EMF for 24 h. Glutathione-S-transferase and -reductase activities were increased. Treatment with 100 μT ELF-EMF (24 h, 48 h) significantly reduced micronuclei incidence, while cell proliferation was significantly increased. Results indicate that 50 Hz ELF-EMF (40 μT, 100 μT) are week stressors which alone cannot generate enough ROS to induce process of lipid peroxidation in cancer cell line but strong enough to induce response of antioxidative system. Furthermore, 100 μT ELF-EMF in human lymphocytes did not exhibit genotoxic potential during 24 h and 48 h treatment, but stimulated cell proliferation. 相似文献

Extramedullary plasmacytomas are plasma cell tumors that arise outside of the bone marrow. They account for approximately 3% of plasma cell neoplasms and are most frequently located in the head and neck region. Five months after undergoing cholecystectomy, a 69-year-old patient presented with the pain under the right costal margin and a 12 kg weight loss. Computed tomography of the abdomen demonstrated irregular, vascular mass in the gallbladder fossa that dents towards the duodenum and the pylorus and lowers caudally to the hepatic flexure. His laboratory tests indicated normocytic anemia and showed elevated sedimentation rate. During operative procedure, a tumorous mass in the gallbladder fossa was found, inseparable of the peritoneum of the hepatoduodenal ligament and the IVb liver segment. Histopathological examination and immunohistochemical staining determined the diagnosis of the plasmacytoma. Total resection of the tumor was achieved and after 24-month follow-up patient showed no signs of local recurrence or dissemination of the disease. 相似文献

Isolation and Characterization of Full and Truncated Forms of Human Breast Carcinoma Protein BA46 from Human Milk Fat Globule Membranes 总被引:2,自引:0,他引:2

We have isolated and characterized two proteins of 50 and 30 kDa from human milk fat globule membranes of healthy donors. N-terminal and internal sequencing revealed that the 50-kDa protein is the full-length human breast carcinoma protein BA46 that is highly expressed in human breast tumors. The 30-kDa protein is a truncated form of protein BA46 which consists of the C-terminal factor V/VIII-like domain of BA46 and which appears to anchor BA46 to the milk fat globule membrane. Defective release of the epidermal growth factor domain containing a surface RGD motif may be related to involvement of BA46 in breast cancer 相似文献

Essential cell division protein FtsZ is an assembling GTPase which directs the cytokinetic ring formation in dividing bacterial cells. FtsZ shares the structural fold of eukaryotic tubulin and assembles forming tubulin-like protofilaments, but does not form microtubules. Two puzzling problems in FtsZ assembly are the nature of protofilament association and a possible mechanism for nucleated self-assembly of single-stranded protofilaments above a critical FtsZ concentration. We assembled two-dimensional arrays of FtsZ on carbon supports, studied linear polymers of FtsZ with cryo-electron microscopy of vitrified unsupported solutions, and formulated possible polymerization models. Nucleated self-assembly of FtsZ from Escherichia coli with GTP and magnesium produces flexible filaments 4-6 nm-wide, only compatible with a single protofilament. This agrees with previous scanning transmission electron microscopy results and is supported by recent cryo-electron tomography studies of two bacterial cells. Observations of double-stranded FtsZ filaments in negative stain may come from protofilament accretion on the carbon support. Preferential protofilament cyclization does not apply to FtsZ assembly. The apparently cooperative polymerization of a single protofilament with identical intermonomer contacts is explained by the switching of one inactive monomer into the active structure preceding association of the next, creating a dimer nucleus. FtsZ behaves as a cooperative linear assembly machine. 相似文献

The aim of this study was to analyse glycosphingolipid expression in cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) from one idiopathic West syndrome (IWS) infant, one with Reye like syndrome, and one with congenital hydrocephalus, in comparison to control group (n=7) using highly sensitive thin-layer chromatography-immunostaining methods. Gangliotetraose-series gangliosides (acidic glycosphingolipids) were not detected in CSF of infant with idiopathic West syndrome and infant with congenital hydrocephalus. CSF of infant with IWS showed traces of neolacto-tetraose ganglioside fractions, which were absent in all other CSF examined. In addition, lactosylceramide fraction, and one ceramide fraction were highly expressed only in IWS CSF These results confirmed previously described lack of gangliotetraose-series gangliosides in IWS patient and for the first time is described increased expression of neolacto-series glycosphingolipids in IWS patient. Since follow up until the age of five years showed almost normal IWS patient psychomotor development, the discribed shift of glycosphingolipid expression may implicate on transient inhibition of specific glycosyl transferases in the age of seven months. 相似文献

The discovery and optimization of potent and selective aminobenzimidazole glucagon receptor antagonists are described. One compound possessing moderate pharmacokinetic properties in multiple preclinical species was orally efficacious at inhibiting glucagon-mediated glucose excursion in transgenic mice expressing the human glucagon receptor, and in rhesus monkeys. The compound also significantly lowered glucose levels in a murine model of diabetes. 相似文献

Proteomic approach to the identification of voltage-dependent anion channel protein isoforms in guinea pig brain synaptosomes 总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1

Voltage-dependent anion channel (VDAC) proteins are small, abundant, pore-forming proteins belonging to the eukaryotic mitochondrial porins. At least three different VDAC genes have been identified in vertebrates. VDAC proteins are known to play an essential role in cellular metabolism and in the early stages of apoptosis. A proteomic approach, consisting of two-dimensional gel electrophoresis followed by two-dimensional immunoblotting with anti-VDAC and anti-phosphotyrosine antibodies and by matrix-assisted laser desorption/ionization-time of flight mass spectrometry, was exploited to define the expression pattern of VDAC isoforms in guinea pig brain synaptosomes, both in normoxic and hypoxic conditions. In this way a total of five different VDAC isoforms were identified, as both VDAC1 and VDAC2 were detected in more than one electrophoretic spot. Moreover, VDAC isoforms selectively undergo hypoxia-induced tyrosine phosphorylation, suggesting that tyrosine phosphorylation may contribute to the modulation of VDAC protein function/conformation or interaction with other proteins in hypoxic conditions. 相似文献

Visualization of DNA-induced conformational changes in the DNA repair kinase DNA-PKcs 总被引:8,自引:0,他引:8 下载免费PDF全文

The catalytic subunit of the DNA-dependent protein kinase (DNA-PKcs) is essential for the repair of double-stranded DNA breaks (DSBs) in non- homologous end joining (NHEJ) and during V(D)J recombination. DNA-PKcs binds single- and double-stranded DNA in vitro, and in vivo the Ku heterodimer probably helps recruit it to DSBs with high affinity. Once loaded onto DNA, DNA-PKcs acts as a scaffold for other repair factors to generate a multiprotein complex that brings the two DNA ends together. Human DNA-PKcs has been analysed by electron microscopy in the absence and presence of double-stranded DNA, and the three-dimensional reconstruction of DNA-bound DNA-PKcs displays large conformational changes when compared with the unbound protein. DNA-PKcs seems to use a palm-like domain to clip onto the DNA, and this new conformation correlates with the activation of the kinase. We suggest that the observed domain movements might help the binding and maintenance of DNA-PKcs' interaction with DNA at the sites of damage, and that these conformational changes activate the kinase. 相似文献

Three-dimensional interplay among the ligand-binding domains of the urokinase-plasminogen-activator-receptor-associated protein,Endo180 总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1

Endo180, also known as the urokinase plasminogen activator receptor (uPAR)-associated protein (uPARAP), is one of the four members of the mannose receptor family, and is implicated in extracellular-matrix remodelling through its interactions with collagens, sugars and uPAR. The extracellular portion of Endo180 contains an amino-terminal cysteine-rich domain, a single fibronectin type II domain and eight C-type lectin-like domains. We have purified a soluble version of Endo180 and analysed it by single-particle electron microscopy to obtain a three-dimensional structure of the N-terminal part of the protein at a resolution of 17 Å and reveal, for the first time, the interactions between non-adjacent domains in the mannose receptor family. We show that for Endo180, the cysteine-rich domain contacts the second C-type lectin-like domain, thus providing structural insight into how modulation of its several ligand interactions may regulate Endo180 receptor function. 相似文献
