On the basis of previous experience with biological effects of electromagnetic fields a potential effect of homogeneous sinusoidal
magnetic field (50Hz, 10mT) on energy state of rat skeletal muscle was investigated. Two different total body exposures to
magnetic field were selected: (1) repeated 1 hour exposure, 2 times a week for 3 months, and (2) acute 1.5 hour exposure (and
the appropriate control groups). Important energy metabolites (adenosine triphosphate – ATP, creatine phosphate, creatine,
lactate, pyruvate and inorganic phosphate) were analysed by enzymatic and spectroscopic methods in musculus gracilis cranialis.On the basis of the concentration of important energy metabolites the apparent Gibbs free energy of ATP hydrolysis and creatine
charge was calculated. Our results demonstrate no influence of this low frequency magnetic field on the level of important
energy metabolites in rat skeletal muscle. The conclusion of this study is that neither repeated exposure nor the acute exposure
of rats to the sinusoidal magnetic field of given parameters has any important influence on the energy state of the skeletal
muscle. 相似文献

Since numerous diseases affect the central nervous system and it has limited self-repair capability, a great interest in using stem cells as an alternative cell source is generated. Previous reports have shown the differentiation of adipose-derived stem cells in neuron-like cells and it has also been proved that the expression pattern of patterning, proneural, and neural factors, such as Pax6, Mash1, Ngn2, NeuroD1, Tbr2 and Tbr1, regulates and defines adult neurogenesis. Regarding this, we hypothesize that a functional parallelism between adult neurogenesis and neuronal differentiation of human adipose-derived stem cells exists. In this study we differentiate human adipose-derived stem cells into neuron-like cells and analyze the expression pattern of different patterning, proneural, neural and neurotransmitter genes, before and after neuronal differentiation. The neuron-like cells expressed neuronal markers, patterning and proneural factors characteristics of intermediate stages of neuronal differentiation. Thus we demonstrated that it is possible to differentiate adipose-derived stem cells in vitro into immature neuron-like cells and that this process is regulated in a similar way to adult neurogenesis. This may contribute to elucidate molecular mechanisms involved in neuronal differentiation of adult human non-neural cells, in aid of the development of potential therapeutic tools for diseases of the nervous system. 相似文献

Voltage-gated sodium channels (VGSC) are a well-established drug target for anti-epileptic, anti-arrhythmic and pain medications due to their presence and the important roles that they play in excitable cells. Recently, their presence has been recognized in non-excitable cells such as cancer cells and their overexpression has been shown to be associated with metastatic behavior in a variety of human cancers. The neonatal isoform of the VGSC subtype, Nav1.5 (nNav1.5) is overexpressed in the highly aggressive human breast cancer cell line, MDA-MB-231. The activity of nNav1.5 is known to promote the breast cancer cell invasion in vitro and metastasis in vivo, and its expression in primary mammary tumors has been associated with metastasis and patient death. Metastasis development is responsible for the high mortality of breast cancer and currently there is no treatment available to specifically prevent or inhibit breast cancer metastasis. In the present study, a 3D-QSAR model is used to assist the development of low micromolar small molecule VGSC blockers. Using this model, we have designed, synthesized and evaluated five small molecule compounds as blockers of nNav1.5-dependent inward currents in whole-cell patch-clamp experiments in MDA-MB-231 cells. The most active compound identified from these studies blocked sodium currents by 34.9?±?6.6% at 1?μM. This compound also inhibited the invasion of MDA-MB-231 cells by 30.3?±?4.5% at 1?μM concentration without affecting the cell viability. The potent small molecule compounds presented here have the potential to be developed as drugs for breast cancer metastasis treatment. 相似文献
