A number of stereochemical variants at C-8, C-12 and C-15 of 9a-homo-9,11-epoxy prostaglandins (PGs) have been examined for in vivo activity on blood pressure, bronchial resistance, tracheal segment pressure, heart rate and on intestinal and uterine contractility in artificially respired anaesthetised guinea-pigs; and on blood pressure and blood platelet aggregation in rats (using the extra-corporeal filter-aorta loop technique). In vitro tests for smooth muscle activity were carried out on the isolated rat fundus strip, the guinea-pig tracheal chain and the rat uterus. The following was found:
- 1. In the guinea-pig, in vivo, all the homo-epoxy PGs were vasopressor and bronchoconstrictor following bolus injections of 250 μg i.v. The effects on heart rate, and intestinal and uterine contractility were equivocal. The configurations at the chiral centres, C-8, C-12 and C-15 play an important role in determining potency. The 15-(S)-hydroxy derivatives were the most potent in stimulating vascular and respiratory muscle. The 8-iso configuration appeared to enhance potency amongst the 15-(S)-hydroxy compounds. The 15-(R)-hydroxy configuration markedly reduced constrictor potency. The same pattern of activity was seen on rat blood pressure, in vivo. The 15-(S)-hydroxy configuration combined with the 8-iso configuration had the most potent constrictor activity, while the 15-(R)-hydroxy group negated this and even led, in the case of the natural configuration at C-8 and C-12, to vasodepression.
- 2. In vitro, the activity on the rat fundus and guinea-pig tracheal chain followed the same pattern. The 15-(S)-hydroxy derivatives were very much more potent than the 15-(R)-hydroxy derivatives at contracting the smooth muscle preparations. Uterine muscle appeared to be relaxed by the PGs with the natural configuration at C-8 and C-12, with the 15-(R)-hydroxy compound exhibiting greater activity.
- 3. Inhibition of ADP-induced rat blood platelet aggregation after “intra-arterial” administration was shown only by the derivatives with a single change in the natural configuration either at C-8 or at C-15. Additional changes either resulted in inactivity or, in the case of the 8,12-di-iso-15-(S)-hydroxy compound, even reversed the effect to aggregation.

We investigated the combination of weak anion exchange (WAX) fractionation and on-line reversed-phase liquid chromatography (RPLC) separation using a 12 T FTICR mass spectrometer for the detection of intact proteins from a Shewanella oneidensis MR-1 cell lysate. This work aimed at optimizing intact protein detection for profiling proteins at a level that incorporates their modification state. A total of 715 intact proteins were detected, and the combined results from the WAX fractions and the unfractionated cell lysate were aligned using LC-MS features to facilitate protein abundance measurements. Protein identifications and post-translational modifications were assigned for approximately 10% of the detected proteins by comparing intact protein mass measurements to proteins identified in peptide MS/MS analysis of an aliquot of the same fraction. Intact proteins were also detected for S. oneidensis lysates obtained from cells grown on 13C-, 15N-depleted media under aerobic and sub-oxic conditions. The strategy can be readily applied for measuring differential protein abundances and provides a platform for high-throughput selection of biologically relevant targets for further characterization. 相似文献

Background
Practical methods of monitoring innate immune mucosal responsiveness are lacking. Lipopolysaccharide (LPS) is a component of the cell wall of Gram negative bacteria and a potent activator of Toll-like receptor (TLR)-4. To measure LPS responsiveness of the nasal mucosa, we administered LPS as a nasal spray and quantified chemokine and cytokine levels in mucosal lining fluid (MLF).Methods
We performed a 5-way cross-over, single blind, placebo-controlled study in 15 healthy non-atopic subjects (n = 14 per protocol). Doses of ultrapure LPS (1, 10, 30 or 100μg/100μl) or placebo were administered by a single nasal spray to each nostril. Using the recently developed method of nasosorption with synthetic adsorptive matrices (SAM), a series of samples were taken. A panel of seven cytokines/chemokines were measured by multiplex immunoassay in MLF. mRNA for intercellular cell adhesion molecule-1 (ICAM-1) was quantified from nasal epithelial curettage samples taken before and after challenge.Results
Topical nasal LPS was well tolerated, causing no symptoms and no visible changes to the nasal mucosa. LPS induced dose-related increases in MLF levels of IL-1β, IL-6, CXCL8 (IL-8) and CCL3 (MIP-1α) (AUC at 0.5 to 10h, compared to placebo, p<0.05 at 30 and 100μg LPS). At 100μg LPS, IL-10, IFN-α and TNF-α were also increased (p<0.05). Dose-related changes in mucosal ICAM-1 mRNA were also seen after challenge, and neutrophils appeared to peak in MLF at 8h. However, 2 subjects with high baseline cytokine levels showed prominent cytokine and chemokine responses to relatively low LPS doses (10μg and 30μg LPS).Conclusions
Topical nasal LPS causes dose-dependent increases in cytokines, chemokines, mRNA and cells. However, responsiveness can show unpredictable variations, possibly because baseline innate tone is affected by environmental factors. We believe that this new technique will have wide application in the study of the innate immune responses of the respiratory mucosa.Key Messages
Ultrapure LPS was used as innate immune stimulus in a human nasal challenge model, with serial sampling of nasal mucosal lining fluid (MLF) by nasosorption using a synthetic absorptive matrix (SAM), and nasal curettage of mucosal cells. A dose response could be demonstrated in terms of levels of IL-1β, IL-6, CXCL8 and CCL3 in MLF, as well as ICAM-1 mRNA in nasal curettage specimens, and levels of neutrophils in nasal lavage. Depending on higher baseline levels of inflammation, there were occasional magnified innate inflammatory responses to LPS.Trial Registration

The success of genome-wide association studies has paralleled the development of efficient genotyping technologies. We describe the development of a next-generation microarray based on the new highly-efficient Affymetrix Axiom genotyping technology that we are using to genotype individuals of European ancestry from the Kaiser Permanente Research Program on Genes, Environment and Health (RPGEH). The array contains 674,517 SNPs, and provides excellent genome-wide as well as gene-based and candidate-SNP coverage. Coverage was calculated using an approach based on imputation and cross validation. Preliminary results for the first 80,301 saliva-derived DNA samples from the RPGEH demonstrate very high quality genotypes, with sample success rates above 94% and over 98% of successful samples having SNP call rates exceeding 98%. At steady state, we have produced 462 million genotypes per week for each Axiom system. The new array provides a valuable addition to the repertoire of tools for large scale genome-wide association studies. 相似文献

Benzothiophene derivatives like benzothiophene sulphonamides, biphenyls, or carboxyls have been synthesized and have found wide pharmacological usage. Here we report, bromo-benzothiophene carboxamide derivatives as potent, slow tight binding inhibitors of Plasmodium enoyl-acyl carrier protein (ACP) reductase (PfENR). 3-Bromo-N-(4-fluorobenzyl)-benzo[b]thiophene-2-carboxamide (compound 6) is the most potent inhibitor with an IC50 of 115 nM for purified PfENR. The inhibition constant (Ki) of compound 6 was 18 nM with respect to the cofactor and 91 nM with respect to crotonoyl-CoA. These inhibitors showed competitive kinetics with cofactor and uncompetitive kinetics with the substrate. Thus, these compounds hold promise for the development of potent antimalarials. 相似文献

On the basis of pharmacophoric modelling studies of existing NNRTIs, a series of isatin beta-thiosemicarbazone derivatives was synthesized and evaluated for their anti-HIV activity in HTLV-III(B) strain in the CEM cell line. Three compounds showed significant anti-HIV activity, whereupon compound 6 was found to be the most active compound with an EC(50) value of 2.62 microM and a selectivity index of 17.41, while not being cytotoxic to the cell line at a CC(50) value of 44.90 microM. Other tested compounds exhibited marked activity below their toxicity threshold. 相似文献

Advanced proteomic research efforts involving areas such as systems biology or biomarker discovery are enabled by the use of high level informatics tools that allow the effective analysis of large quantities of differing types of data originating from various studies. Performing such analyses on a large scale is not feasible without a computational platform that performs data processing and management tasks. Such a platform must be able to provide high-throughput operation while having sufficient flexibility to accommodate evolving data analysis tools and methodologies. The Proteomics Research Information Storage and Management system (PRISM) provides a platform that serves the needs of the accurate mass and time tag approach developed at Pacific Northwest National Laboratory. PRISM incorporates a diverse set of analysis tools and allows a wide range of operations to be incorporated by using a state machine that is accessible to independent, distributed computational nodes. The system has scaled well as data volume has increased over several years, while allowing adaptability for incorporating new and improved data analysis tools for more effective proteomics research. 相似文献

We report a preliminary demonstration of the accurate mass and time (AMT) tag approach for lipidomics. Initial data-dependent LC-MS/MS analyses of human plasma, erythrocyte, and lymphocyte lipids were performed in order to identify lipid molecular species in conjunction with complementary accurate mass and isotopic distribution information. Identified lipids were used to populate initial lipid AMT tag databases containing 250 and 45 entries for those species detected in positive and negative electrospray ionization (ESI) modes, respectively. The positive ESI database was then utilized to identify human plasma, erythrocyte, and lymphocyte lipids in high-throughput LC-MS analyses based on the AMT tag approach. We were able to define the lipid profiles of human plasma, erythrocytes, and lymphocytes based on qualitative and quantitative differences in lipid abundance. 相似文献

Cellular phenotypes are established and controlled by complex and precisely orchestrated molecular networks. In cancer, mutations and dysregulations of multiple molecular factors perturb the regulation of these networks and lead to malignant transformation. High-throughput technologies are a valuable source of information to establish the complex molecular relationships behind the emergence of malignancy, but full exploitation of this massive amount of data requires bioinformatics tools that rely on network-based analyses.In this report we present the Virtual Melanoma Cell, an online tool developed to facilitate the mining and interpretation of high-throughput data on melanoma by biomedical researches. The platform is based on a comprehensive, manually generated and expert-validated regulatory map composed of signaling pathways important in malignant melanoma. The Virtual Melanoma Cell is a tool designed to accept, visualize and analyze user-generated datasets. It is available at: https://www.vcells.net/melanoma. To illustrate the utilization of the web platform and the regulatory map, we have analyzed a large publicly available dataset accounting for anti-PD1 immunotherapy treatment of malignant melanoma patients. 相似文献
