Human endothelial cells wereexposed to 5 mM glucose (control), 25 mM (high) glucose, or osmoticcontrol for 72 h. TGF-1 production, cell growth, death, andcell cycle progression, and the effects of TGF-1 and TGF-neutralization on these parameters were studied. High glucose andhyperosmolarity increased endothelial TGF-1 secretion(P < 0.0001) and bioactivity (P < 0.0001). However, high glucose had a greater effect on reducingendothelial cell number (P < 0.001) and increasingcellular protein content (P < 0.001) than the osmoticcontrol. TGF- antibody only reversed the antiproliferative andhypertrophic effects of high glucose. High glucose altered cell cycleprogression and cyclin-dependent kinase inhibitor expressionindependently of hyperosmolarity. High glucose increased endothelialcell apoptosis (P < 0.01), whereashyperosmolarity induced endothelial cell necrosis (P < 0.001). TGF- antibody did not reverse the apoptotic effectsobserved with high glucose. Exogenous TGF-1 mimicked the increased Sphase delay but not endoreduplication observed with high glucose. High glucose altered endothelial cell growth, apoptosis, and cellcycle progression. These growth effects occurred principally via aTGF-1 autocrine pathway. In contrast, apoptosis andendoreduplication occurred independently of this cytokine and hyperosmolarity. 相似文献

The mitogen-activated protein (MAP) kinases contribute to altered cell growth and function in a variety of disease states. However, their role in the endothelial complications of diabetes mellitus remains unclear. Human endothelial cells were exposed for 72 h to 5 mM (control) or 25 mM (high) glucose or 5 mM glucose plus 20 mM mannitol (osmotic control). The roles of p38 and p42/44 MAP kinases in the high glucose-induced growth effects were determined by assessment of phosphorylated MAP kinases and their downstream activators by Western blot and by pharmacological inhibition of these MAP kinases. Results were expressed as a percentage (means +/- SE) of control. High glucose increased the activity of total and phosphorylated p38 MAP kinase (P < 0.001) and p42/44 MAP kinase (P < 0.001). Coexposure of p38 MAP kinase blocker with high glucose reversed the antiproliferative but not the hypertrophic effects associated with high-glucose conditions. Transforming growth factor (TGF)-beta1 increased the levels of phosphorylated p38 MAP kinase, and p38 MAP kinase blockade reversed the antiproliferative effects of this cytokine. The high glucose-induced increase in phosphorylated p38 MAP kinase was reversed in the presence of TGF-beta1 neutralizing antibody. Although hyperosmolarity also induced antiproliferation (P < 0.0001) and cell hypertrophy (P < 0.05), there was no change in p38 activity, and therefore inhibition of p38 MAP kinase had no influence on these growth responses. Blockade of p42/44 MAP kinase had no effect on the changes in endothelial cell growth induced by either high glucose or hyperosmolarity. High glucose increased p42/44 and p38 MAP kinase activity in human endothelial cells, but only p38 MAP kinase mediated the antiproliferative growth response through the effects of autocrine TGF-beta1. High glucose-induced endothelial cell hypertrophy was independent of activation of the MAP kinases studied. In addition, these effects were independent of any increase in osmolarity associated with high-glucose exposure. 相似文献

Northern regions are generally viewed as unsuitable for microalgal biofuel production due to unfavorable climate and solar insolation levels. However, these conditions can potentially be mitigated by coupling microalgal cultivation to industrial processes such as wastewater treatment. In this study, we have examined the biomass and lipid productivity characteristics of 14 microalgae isolates (Chlorophyta) from the Canadian province of Saskatchewan. Under both photoautotrophic and mixotrophic cultivation, a distinct linear trend was observed between biomass and lipid productivities in the 14 SK isolates. The most productive strain under cultivation in TAP media was Scenedesmus sp.-AMDD which displayed rates of biomass and fatty acid productivities of 80 and 30.7?mg?L?1?day?1, respectively. The most productive strain in B3NV media was Chlamydomonas debaryana-AMLs1b which displayed rates of biomass and fatty acid productivities of 51.7 and 5.9?mg?L?1?day?1, respectively. In 11 of the isolates tested, secondary municipal wastewater (MCWW) supported rates of biomass productivity between 21 and 33?mg?L?1?day?1 with Scenedesmus sp.-AMDD being the most productive. Three strains, Chlamydomonas debaryana-AMB1, Chlorella sorokiniana-RBD8 and Micractinium sp.-RB1b, showed large increases in biomass productivity when cultivated mixotrophically in MCWW supplemented with glycerol. High relative oleic acid content was detected in 10 of the 14 isolates when grown mixotrophically in media supplemented with acetate. There was no detectable effect on the fatty acid profiles in cells cultivated mixotrophically in glycerol-supplemented MCWW. These data indicate that biomass and lipid productivities are boosted by mixotrophic cultivation. Exploiting this response in municipal wastewater is a promising strategy for the production of environmentally sustainable biofuels. 相似文献

It remains unclear whether abdominal obesity increases cardiovascular disease (CVD) risk independent of the metabolic abnormalities that often accompany it. Therefore, the objective of this study was to evaluate the independent effects of abdominal obesity vs. metabolic syndrome and diabetes on the risk for incident coronary heart disease (CHD) and stroke. The Framingham Offspring, Atherosclerosis Risk in Communities, and Cardiovascular Health studies were pooled to assess the independent effects of abdominal obesity (waist circumference >102 cm for men and >88 cm for women) vs. metabolic syndrome (excluding the waist circumference criterion) and diabetes on risk for incident CHD and stroke in 20,298 men and women aged ≥45 years. The average follow‐up was 8.3 (s.d. 1.9) years. There were 1,766 CVD events. After adjustment for demographic factors, smoking, alcohol intake, number of metabolic syndrome components, and diabetes, abdominal obesity was not significantly associated with an increased risk of CVD (hazard ratio (HR) (95% confidence interval): 1.09 (0.98, 1.20)). However, after adjustment for demographics, smoking, alcohol intake, and abdominal obesity, having 1–2 metabolic syndrome components, the metabolic syndrome and diabetes were each associated with a significantly increased risk of CVD (2.12 (1.80, 2.50), 2.82 (1.92, 4.12), and 5.33 (3.37, 8.41), respectively). Although abdominal obesity is an important clinical tool for identification of individuals likely to possess metabolic abnormalities, these data suggest that the metabolic syndrome and diabetes are considerably more important prognostic indicators of CVD risk. 相似文献
