For the first time, the contents of rare earth elements (REEs) in a rib bone of a healthy human were determined. The mean value of the contents of Ce, Dy, Er, Gd, La, Nd, Pr, Sm, Tb, and Yb (10 elements out of 17 total REEs), as well as the upper limit of means for Ho, Lu, Tm, and Y (4 elements) were measured in the rib bone tissue of 38 females and 42 males (15 to 55 years old) using inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometry (ICP-MS). We found age-related accumulation of REEs in the bone tissue of healthy individuals who lived in a non-industrial region. It was calculated that during a lifespan the content of REEs in a skeleton of non-industrial region residents may increase by one to two orders of magnitude. Using our results as indicative normal values and published data we estimated relative Gd accumulation in the bone tissue of patients according to magnetic resonance imaging with contrast agent and La accumulation in the bone tissue of patients receiving hemodialysis after treatment with lanthanum carbonate as a phosphate binder. It was shown that after such procedures contents of Gd and La in the bone tissue of patients are two to three orders of magnitude higher than normal levels. In our opinion, REEs incorporation may affect bone quality and health similar to other potentially toxic trace metals. The impact of elevated REEs content on bone physiology, biochemistry and morphology requires further investigation. 相似文献

Poly(l-glutamic acid) Gd(III)-DOTA conjugate with a degradable spacer for magnetic resonance imaging
The clinical application of macromolecular Gd(III) complexes as MRI contrast agents is impeded by their slow excretion and potential toxicity due to the release of Gd(III) ions caused by the metabolism of the agents. A polymer Gd(III) chelate conjugate with a cleavable spacer has been designed to solve this problem. Poly(l-glutamic acid)-cystamine-[Gd(III)-DOTA] was prepared by the conjugation of DOTA to PGA (MW = 50,000) via cystamine, a cleavable disulfide spacer, followed by the complexation with GdCl(3). A Gd(III) DOTA chelate derivative was readily released from the polymer conjugate in the incubation with cysteine, an endogenous plasma thiol. The conjugate produced significant MRI blood pool contrast enhancement in nude mice bearing OVCAR-3 human ovarian carcinoma xenographs. Less significant contrast enhancement was observed for a small molecular contrast agent, Gd(DTPA-BMA). The pharmacokinetic MRI study showed that the Gd(III) chelate from the conjugate accumulated in the urinary bladder in a similar kinetic pattern to Gd(DTPA-BMA), suggesting that the chelate was released by the endogenous thiols and excreted through renal filtration. The preliminary results suggest that this novel design has a great potential to solve the safety problem of macromolecular MRI contrast agents. 相似文献

Biodegradable PEGylated Gd-DTPA l-cystine copolymers, PEG-g-poly(GdDTPA-co-l-cystine), were prepared and tested as a blood pool contrast agent in mice. The biodegradable macromolecular agent was designed to be broken down into smaller Gd complexes by endogenous thiols via the disulfide-thiol exchange reaction to facilitate the clearance of Gd complexes after the contrast-enhanced MRI examination. Gd-DTPA l-cystine copolymers were synthesized by condensation polymerization of l-cystine and DTPA-dianhydride in water followed by chelating with Gd(OAc)(3). MPEG-NH(2) (MW = 2000) was then conjugated to the polymeric backbone in different ratios. The macromolecular contrast agent was readily degraded with the incubation of l-cysteine. It also demonstrated superior contrast enhancement in the heart and blood vessels as compared to a low molecular weight control agent, Gd-(DTPA-BMA). At 1 h postcontrast, the PEGylated macromolecular agent still showed prominent enhancement, while little contrast enhancement was detectable in the blood pool by the control agent. PEG-g-poly(GdDTPA-co-l-cystine) shows promise as an MR blood pool imaging agent. 相似文献

Understanding how proteins are approached by surrounding molecules is fundamental to increase our knowledge of life at atomic resolution. Here, the surface accessibility of a multifunctional small protein, the archaeal protein Sso7d from Sulfolobus solfataricus, has been investigated by using TEMPOL and Gd(III)(DTPA-BMA) as paramagnetic probes. The DNA binding domain of Sso7d appears very accessible both to TEMPOL and Gd(III)(DTPA-BMA). Differences in paramagnetic attenuation profiles of (1)H-(15)N HSQC protein backbone amide correlations, observed in the presence of the latter paramagnetic probes, are consistent with the hydrogen bond acceptor capability of the N-oxyl moiety of TEMPOL to surface exposed Sso7d amide groups. By using the gadolinium complex as a paramagnetic probe a better agreement between Sso7d structural features and attenuation profile is achieved. It is interesting to note that the protein P-loop region, in spite of the high surface exposure predicted by the available protein structures, is not approached by TEMPOL and only partially by Gd(III)(DTPA-BMA). 相似文献

Nephrogenic systemic fibrosis is associated with gadolinium contrast exposure in patients with reduced kidney function and carries high morbidity and mortality. We have previously demonstrated that gadolinium contrast agents induce in vivo systemic iron mobilization and in vitro differentiation of peripheral blood mononuclear cells into ferroportin (iron exporter)-expressing fibrocytic cells. In the present study we examined the role of iron in a mouse model of nephrogenic systemic fibrosis. Chronic kidney disease was induced in 8-week-old male Balb/C mice with a two-step 5/6 nephrectomy surgery. Five groups of mice were studied: control (n = 5), sham surgery control (n = 5), chronic kidney disease control (n = 4), chronic kidney disease injected with 0.5 mmol/kg body weight of Omniscan 3 days per week, for a total of 10 injections (n = 8), and chronic kidney disease with Omniscan plus deferiprone, 125 mg/kg, in drinking water (n = 9). Deferiprone was continued for 16 weeks until the end of the experiment. Mice with chronic kidney disease injected with Omniscan developed skin changes characteristic of nephrogenic systemic fibrosis including hair loss, reddening, ulceration, and skin tightening by 10 to 16 weeks. Histopathological sections demonstrated dermal fibrosis with increased skin thickness (0.25±0.06 mm, sham; 0.34±+0.3 mm, Omniscan-injected). Additionally, we observed an increase in tissue infiltration of ferroportin-expressing, fibrocyte-like cells accompanied by tissue iron accumulation in the skin of the Omniscan-treated mice. The deferiprone-treated group had significantly decreased skin thickness (p<0.05) and significantly decreased dermal fibrosis compared to the Omniscan-only group. In addition, iron chelation prevented tissue infiltration of ferroportin-expressing, fibrocyte-like cells. Our in vitro experiments demonstrated that exposure to Omniscan resulted in the release of catalytic iron and this was prevented by the iron chelator deferiprone. Deferiprone inhibited the differentiation of human peripheral blood mononuclear cells into ferroportin-expressing cells by immunohistochemical staining and western blot analysis. Our studies support an important role of iron in the pathophysiology of gadolinium chelate toxicity and nephrogenic systemic fibrosis. 相似文献

We recently show that CCN3 is a counter-regulatory molecule for the pro-fibrotic protein CCN2, and a potentially novel fibrosis therapy. The goal of this study was to assess the role of CCN3 in fibroproliferative/fibrotic responses in human dermal fibroblasts exposed to Omniscan, one of the gadolinium-based contrast agents associated with development of nephrogenic systemic fibrosis (NSF) a rare but life-threatening disease thought to be complication of NMR diagnostics in renal impaired patients. Human dermal fibroblasts were exposed to Omniscan; or to platelet-derived growth factor (PDGF) and transforming growth factor-β (TGF-β) as controls. Proliferation was assessed along with matrix metalloproteinase-1, tissue inhibitor of metalloproteinases-1 and type 1 procollagen in the absence and presence of CCN3. In parallel, CCN3 production was assessed in control and Omniscan-treated cells. The results showed that PDGF stimulated fibroblast proliferation, production of Timp-1 and MMP-1 whereas exogenous CCN3 inhibited, in a dose response manner, cell proliferation (approx. 50 % max.) and production of MMP-1 (approx 35 % max.) but had little effect on TIMP-1. TGF-β stimulated type 1 procollagen production but not proliferation, Timp-1 or MMP-1 compared to non-TGF-ß treated control cells, and CCN3 treatment blocked (approx. 80 % max.) this up-regulation. Interestingly, untreated, control fibroblasts produced high constitutive levels of CCN3 and concentrations of Omniscan that induced fibroproliferative/fibrogenic changes in dermal fibroblasts correspondingly suppressed CCN3 production. The use of PDGF and TGF-β as positive controls, and the study of differential responses, including that to Omniscan itself, provide the first evidence for a role of fibroblast-derived CCN3 as an endogenous regulator of pro-fibrotic changes, elucidating possible mechanism(s). In conclusion, these data support our hypothesis of a role for fibroblast-derived CCN3 as an endogenous regulator of pro-fibrotic changes in these cells, and suggest that CCN3 may be an important regulatory molecule in NSF and a target for treatment in this and other fibrotic diseases. 相似文献

Idiopathic dilated cardiomyopathy (IDC) is characterized by left ventricular (LV) enlargement with systolic dysfunction, other causes excluded. When inherited, it represents familial dilated cardiomyopathy (FDC). We hypothesized that IDC or FDC would show with cardiac magnetic resonance (CMR) increased myocardial accumulation of gadolinium contrast at steady state and decreased baseline myocardial blood flow (MBF) due to structural alterations of the extracellular matrix compared with normal myocardium. CMR was performed in nine persons affected with IDC/FDC. Healthy controls came from the general population (n = 6) or were unaffected family members of FDC patients (n = 3) without signs or symptoms of IDC/FDC or any structural cardiac abnormalities. The myocardial partition coefficient for gadolinium contrast (lambda(Gd)) was determined by T1 measurements. LV shape and function and MBF were assessed by standard CMR methods. lambda(Gd) was elevated in IDC/FDC patients vs. healthy controls (lambda(Gd) = 0.56 +/- 0.15 vs. 0.41 +/- 0.06; P = 0.002), and correlated with LV enlargement (r = 0.61 for lambda(Gd) vs. end-diastolic volume indexed by height; P < 0.01) and with ejection fraction (r = -0.80; P < 0.001). The extracellular volume fraction was higher in IDC patients than in healthy controls (0.31 +/- 0.05 vs. 0.24 +/- 0.03; P = 0.002). Resting MBF was lower in IDC patients (0.64 +/- 0.13 vs. 0.91 +/- 0.22; P = 0.01) than unaffected controls and correlated with both the partition coefficient (r = -0.57; P = 0.012) and the extracellular volume fraction (r = -0.56; P = 0.019). The expansion of the extracellular space correlated with reduced MBF and ventricular dilation. Expansion of the extracellular matrix may be a key contributor to contractile dysfunction in IDC patients. 相似文献

Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) is a technique used in both clinical and experimental settings to produce high-resolution images of opaque organisms without ionizing radiation. Currently, MR imaging is augmented by contrast agents, and the vast majority these small molecule Gd(III) chelates are confined to the extracellular regions. As a result, contrast agents are confined to vascular regions reducing their ability to provide information about cell physiology or molecular pathology. We have shown that polypeptides of arginine have the capacity to transport Gd(III) contrast agents across cell membranes. However, this transport is not unidirectional, and once inside the cell, the arginine-modified contrast agents efflux rapidly, decreasing the intracellular Gd(III) concentration and corresponding MR image intensity. By exploiting the inherent disulfide reducing environment of cells, thiol compounds, Gd(III)-DOTA-SS-Arg 8 and Gd(III)-DTPA-SS-Arg 8, are cleaved from their cell-penetrating peptide transduction domains upon cell internalization. This reaction prolongs the cell-associated lifetime of the chelated Gd(III) by cleaving it from the cell transduction domain. 相似文献

Effects of citric acid and desferrioxamine B (DFO-B) on the availability of Ge and selected rare earth elements (REEs) (La, Nd, Gd, Er) to Phalaris arundinacea were investigated. A soil dissolution experiment was conducted to elucidate the effect of citric acid and DFO-B at different concentrations (1 and 10 mmol L?1 citric acid) on the release of Ge and REEs from soil. In a greenhouse, plants of P. arundinacea were cultivated on soil and on sand cultures to investigate the effects of citric acid and DFO-B on the uptake of Ge and REEs by the plants. Addition of 10 mmol L?1 citric acid significantly enhanced desorption of Ge and REEs from soil and uptake into soil-grown plants. Applying DFO-B enhanced the dissolution and the uptake of REEs, while no effect on Ge was observed. In sand cultures, the presence of citric acid and DFO-B significantly decreased the uptake of Ge and REEs, indicating a discrimination of the formed complexes during uptake. This study clearly indicates that citric acid and the microbial siderophore DFO-B may enhance phytoextraction of Ge and REEs due to the formation of soluble complexes that increase the migration of elements in the rhizosphere. 相似文献

Population growth responses of Tetrahymena shanghaiensis in exposure to rare earth elements 总被引:2,自引:0,他引:2
This article presents the population growth responses of Tetrahymena shanghaiensis s1 in exposure to rare earth elements (REEs). Both the light REEs (La, Sm) and the heavy REEs (Y, Gd) were investigated with
24- and 96-hr population growth assays to evaluate their aquatic toxicity. Four end points, cell count, frequency of neutral
red (NR) uptake, total protein, and nucleic acid content were employed in the 24-h assay, and a population growth curve was
plotted in the 96-h assay. The results of 24- and 96-h assays suggest a dual effect of REEs on T. shanghaiensis of the stimulated growth at low concentrations and the toxicity at higher ones. In the promoted growth of T. shanghaiensis, however, the cell density increased with an increased growth rate and the protein and nucleic acid content per 104 cells undertook no remarkable changes, which suggests possible cell growth control by REE. 相似文献

Mixtures of rare earth elements (REEs) in fertilizers are widely used in Chinese agriculture to improve crop nutrition. REE
concentrations in wild-growing plants, especially herbs, are little known. This study describes differences in the concentrations
and proportions of REEs in eight forest-floor herbaceous plants and relates these differences to soil and mineral nutrient
conditions. REEs studied were yttrium (Y), lanthanum (La), cerium (Ce), praseodymium (Pr), neodymium (Nd), samarium (Sm),
europium (Eu), gadolinium (Gd), terbium (Tb), dysprosium (Dy), holmium (Ho), erbium (Er), thulium (Tm), ytterbium (Yb), and
lutetium (Lu). Leaf concentrations of sum REEs differed more than one order of magnitude between species, being highest in
Anemone nemorosa (10.1 nmol/g dry mass) and lowest in Convallaria majalis (0.66 nmol/g) from the same site. Leaf concentrations of all REEs correlated positively (p<0.001), as did sum REE with calcium (Ca) and strontium (Sr) concentrations (p<0.001). A negative relationship (r=−0.83, (p<0.001) was measured between phosphorus (P) concentrations and sum REE concentrations in leaves. However, the proportions
of the single REEs in the REE sum differed among species. In A. nemorosa, 57% of the molar REE sum was taken by Y+La, and only 21% by Ce. The other extreme was Maianthemum bifolium, with 37% La+Y and 41% Ce. These two species had 2.7–3.0% of the REE sum as heavier lanthanides, compared to 4.1–5.2% in
the six other species. No clear relationship between soil properties or REE contents and leaf REE concentrations was detected.
For La, however, an overrepresentation in leaves prevailed throughout all species compared to soils, whereas particularly
Nd, Sm, and Tb had a lower proportion in the leaves of all species than in their soils. Possible uptake mechanisms of REEs
in plants are discussed. 相似文献

A target-specific MRI contrast agent for tumor cells expressing high affinity folate receptor was synthesized using generation five (G5) ofpolyamidoamine (PAMAM) dendrimer. Surface modified dendrimer was functionalized for targeting with folic acid (FA) and the remaining terminal primary amines of the dendrimer were conjugated with the bifunctional NCS-DOTA chelator that forms stable complexes with gadolinium (Gd III). Dendrimer-DOTA conjugates were then complexed with GdCl3 followed by ICP-OES as well as MRI measurement of their longitudinal relaxivity (T1 s(-1) mM(-1)) of water. In xenograft tumors established in immunodeficient (SCID) mice with KB human epithelial cancer cells expressing folate receptor (FAR), the 3D MRI results showed specific and statistically significant signal enhancement in tumors generated with targeted Gd(III)-DOTA-G5-FA compared with signal generated by non-targeted Gd(III)-DOTA-G5 contrast nanoparticle. The targeted dendrimer contrast nanoparticles infiltrated tumor and were retained in tumor cells up to 48 hours post-injection of targeted contrast nanoparticle. The presence of folic acid on the dendrimer resulted in specific delivery of the nanoparticle to tissues and xenograft tumor cells expressing folate receptor in vivo. We present the specificity of the dendrimer nanoparticles for targeted cancer imaging with the prolonged clearance time compared with the current clinically approved gadodiamide (Omniscan) contrast agent. Potential application of this approach may include determination of the folate receptor status of tumors and monitoring of drug therapy. 相似文献

Positive T? contrast using gadolinium (Gd) contrast agents can potentially improve detection of labeled cells on magnetic resonance imaging (MRI). Recently, gadolinium oxide (Gd?O?) nanoparticles have shown promise as a sensitive T? agent for cell labeling at clinical field strengths compared to conventional Gd chelates. The objective of this study was to investigate Gado CELLTrack, a commercially available Gd?O? nanoparticle, for cell labeling and MRI at 7 T. Relaxivity measurements yielded r1 = 4.7 s?1 mM?1 and r?/r? = 6.2. Human aortic endothelial cells were labeled with Gd?O? at various concentrations and underwent MRI from 1 to 7 days postlabeling. The magnetic resonance relaxation times T? and T? of labeled cell pellets were measured. Cellular contrast agent uptake was quantified by inductively coupled plasma-atomic emission spectroscopy, which showed very high uptake compared to conventional Gd compounds. MRI demonstrated significant positive T? contrast and stable labeling on cells. Enhancement was optimal at low Gd concentrations, attained in the 0.02 to 0.1 mM incubation concentration range (corresponding cell uptake was 7.26 to 34.1 pg Gd/cell). Cell viability and proliferation were unaffected at the concentrations tested and up to at least 3 days postlabeling. Gd?O? is a promising sensitive and stable positive contrast agent for cellular MRI at 7 T. 相似文献

There are increasing concerns regarding intracellular accumulation of gadolinium (Gd) after multiple dynamic contrast enhanced (DCE) MRI scans. We investigated whether a low dose (LD) of Gd-based contrast agent is as effective as a high dose (HD) for quantitative analysis of DCE-MRI data, and evaluated the use of a split dose protocol to obtain new diagnostic parameters. Female C3H mice (n = 6) were injected with mammary carcinoma cells in the hind leg. MRI experiments were performed on 9.4 T scanner. DCE-MRI data were acquired with 1.5 s temporal resolution before and after a LD (0.04 mmol/kg), then again after 30 min followed by a HD (0.2 mmol/kg) bolus injection of Omniscan. The standard Tofts model was used to extract physiological parameters (Ktrans and ve) with the arterial input function derived from muscle reference tissue. In addition, an empirical mathematical model was used to characterize maximum contrast agent uptake (A), contrast agent uptake rate (α) and washout rate (β and γ). There were moderate to strong correlations (r = 0.69–0.97, p < 0001) for parameters Ktrans, ve, A, α and β from LD versus HD data. On average, tumor parameters obtained from LD data were significantly larger (p < 0.05) than those from HD data. The parameter ratios, Ktrans, ve, A and α calculated from the LD data divided by the HD data, were all significantly larger than 1.0 (p < 0.003) for tumor. T2* changes following contrast agent injection affected parameters calculated from HD data, but this was not the case for LD data. The results suggest that quantitative analysis of LD data may be at least as effective for cancer characterization as quantitative analysis of HD data. In addition, the combination of parameters from two different doses may provide useful diagnostic information. 相似文献

Stekoll, M. S. Juneau Center for Fisheries and Ocean Sciences, University of Alaska, Juneau, AK 99801 USA Gametophytes of Macrocystis can be vegetatively propagated indefinitely in the laboratory in media that lacked chelated iron. When clones of vegetatively propagated female gametophytes of Macrocystis pyrifera (L.) C. Ag. were exposed to varying levels of chelated iron in both enriched natural and artificial seawater, low levels of chelated iron (1-5 micromoles/liter) stimulated the onset of gametogenesis as measured by egg production. In contrast higher iron concentrations strongly inhibited egg production. Gametophyte growth as measured by the increase in cell number was not affected by iron concentration in the medium. At all iron concentrations there was a tendency for the larger gametophytic fragments to become fertile earlier. The results suggest that iron may play a critical role in the development of Macrocystis gametophytes. 相似文献

Rare earth elements in soil and plant systems - A review 总被引:18,自引:0,他引:18
Germund Tyler 《Plant and Soil》2004,267(1-2):191-206
The rare earth elements (REEs) form a chemically uniform group and include yttrium (Y), lanthanum (La) and the lanthanides
cerium (Ce), praseodymium (Pr), neodymium (Nd), promethium (Pm), samarium (Sm), europium (Eu), gadolinium (Gd), terbium (Tb),
dysprosium (Dy), holmium (Ho), erbium (Er), thulium (Tm), ytterbium (Yb), and lutetium (Lu). Their average abundance in the
Earth’s crust range from 66μg g−1 in Ce to 0.5μg g−1 in Tm and ?0.1μg g−1 in Pm. Recent great improvements in more routine analytical technique, the use of REEs as fertilisers, at least in East Asian
agriculture, and the importance of these elements as indicators in both pedological and physiological processes and reactions
have contributed to an increased interest in these previously less considered elements in environmental sciences. This review
of recent and current literature deals with REEs in primary and secondary soil minerals, concentrations in surface soils,
factors influencing adsorption, solubility and transport in soils, including weathering and transformations of REE minerals,
and vertical distribution in soil profiles. Reviewed and discussed are also concentrations, distribution and localisation
of REEs in plants and plant organs, soil-plant relationships and interactions, effects on plant growth and crop production
and their importance in plant physiology and biochemistry. The REEs are found, usually several elements together, as phosphates,
carbonates and silicate minerals finely dispersed especially in magmatic and metamorphic rocks. REE concentrations in surface
soils of humid climates, such as the A(E)-horizons of Podzols and Laterites, are usually lower than in the parent material,
due to higher weathering and leaching rates than of the average soil constituents. Some fractionation may occur due to the
formation of more element-specific secondary minerals. Transfer from soil to plant is usually low, but extreme accumulators
are found, e.g., among several species of ferns. Roots have generally higher concentrations than shoots. Possible uptakemechanisms
of REEs are discussed. Uptake is positively, though often weakly, correlated with soil acidity and easily soluble concentrations
of the elements, but rarely well related to their total concentrations in the soil. Under certain conditions, low concentrations
of at least some REEs seem to favour plant growth and productivity, but the physiological mechanisms are still not well understood.
Some considerations concerning the boundary between essential and non-essential micro nutrients are discussed. 相似文献

Between 1981 and 1986 cytogenetic studies of bone marrow and/or blood cells in 139 patients with de novo acute myeloid leukemia (AML) were performed. The overall incidence of chromosomal aberrations was 53%, and this was not significantly influenced by sex, age nor the FAB classification. The aberrations most often found were: complex anomalies (n = 13), t(8; 21) (n = 10), trisomy 8 (n = 9), monosomy 7 (n = 6), monosomy 5, 5q-, trisomy 11, 12p- (n = 4) and trisomy 6, 11q-, inv (n = 3). The prognostic significance of chromosomal findings was evaluated in 112 patients treated by combination chemotherapy. The chromosomal status NN, AN, AA did neither significantly influence complete remission rate (NN: 68%, AN: 71%, AA: 60%) nor mean survival (NN: 24, AN: 26.6, AA: 35.6 months). On the other hand, certain types of chromosomal anomalies were of prognostic value. CR was obtained in all 10 patients with t(8; 21) but only in 2 out of 9 patients with complex aberrations. Median duration of CR in patients with t(8; 21) was significantly longer than in patients with a normal karyotype (30 vs 7 months). 相似文献
