Differentiation of embryonic stem cell (ESC)-derived embryoid bodies (EBs) is a heterogeneous process. ESCs can differentiate
in vitro into different cell types including beating cardiomyocytes. The main aim of the present study was to develop an improved
preparation method for scanning electron microscopic study of ESC-derived cardiac bundles and to investigate the fine structural
characteristics of mouse ESCs-derived cardiomyocytes using electron microscopy. The mouse ESCs differentiation was induced
by EBs’ development through hanging drop, suspension and plating stages. Cardiomyocytes appeared in the EBs’ outgrowth as
beating clusters that grew in size and formed thick branching bundles gradually. Cardiac bundles showed cross striation even
when they were observed under an inverted microscope. They showed a positive immunostaining for cardiac troponin I and α-actinin.
Transmission and scanning electron microscopy (TEM & SEM) were used to study the structural characteristics of ESC-derived
cardiomyocytes. Three weeks after plating, differentiated EBs showed a superficial layer of compact fibrous ECM that made
detailed observation of cardiac bundles impossible. We tried several preparation methods to remove unwanted cells and fibers,
and finally we revealed the branching bundles of cardiomyocytes. In TEM study, most cardiomyocytes showed parallel arrays
of myofibrils with a mature sarcomeric organization marked by H-bands, M-lines and numerous T-tubules. Cardiomyocytes were
connected to each other by intercalated discs composed of numerous gap junctions and fascia adherences. 相似文献

Eight derivatives of tetrahydropyrimidine scaffold were designed and prepared as hybrid compounds possessing the structural features of both monastrol as an anticancer drug and nifedipine as a fascin blocking agent. All of the compounds were evaluated for their cytotoxic potency and the ability to inhibit 4T1 breast cancer cells migration. Then, they were investigated in silico for their ability to inhibit the fascin protein using molecular docking simulation. The most potent compound was 4d and the weakest one was 4a according to the in vitro cytotoxicity assay. The corresponding IC50 values were 193.70 and 248.75 μm , respectively. The least cytotoxic compound ( 4a ) was one of the strongest ones in binding to the fascin binding site according to the molecular docking results. 4a and 4e inhibited the 4T1 cells migration better than other compounds. They were more potent than nifedipine in inhibiting the migration process. In silico studies proved 4h to be the most potent fascin inhibitor in terms of ΔGbind although it was not inhibiting migration. The controversy between the in vitro and in silico results may cancel the theory of the involvement of the fascin inhibition in the migration inhibition. However, the considerable antimigratory effects of some of the synthesized compounds encourage performing further in vivo experiments to introduce novel tumor metastasis inhibitors. 相似文献

The cancer stem cell (CSC) model encompasses an advantageous paradigm that in recent decades provides a better elucidation for many important biological aspects of cancer initiation, progression, metastasis, and, more important, development of multidrug resistance (MDR). Such several other hematological malignancies and solid tumors and the identification and isolation of ovarian cancer stem cells (OV-CSCs) show that ovarian cancer also follows this hierarchical model. Gaining a better insight into CSC-mediated resistance holds promise for improving current ovarian cancer therapies and prolonging the survival of recurrent ovarian cancer patients in the future. Therefore, in this review, we will discuss some important mechanisms by which CSCs can escape chemotherapy, and then review the recent and growing body of evidence that supports the contribution of CSCs to MDR in ovarian cancer. 相似文献

The electrochemical behavior of redox centers in the active site of amine oxidases from lentil seedlings and Euphorbia characias latex was investigated using a mercury film electrode. Tyrosine-derived 6-hydroxydopa quinone (TPQ) and copper ions in the active site are redox centers of these amine oxidases. The enzymes undergo two reduction processes at negative potentials related to the reduction of the TPQ cofactor to the corresponding hydroquinones and the reduction of copper ions, (Cu(II)-->Cu(I)). Copper depleted enzymes, prepared by reduction with dithionite followed by dialysis against cyanide, undergo only one reduction process. Nyquist diagrams, recorded at potentials corresponding to the reduction of cofactors as dc-offset, represent charge transfer impedance followed by a Warburg-type line at low frequencies, indicating the occurrence of a diffusion controlled process in the rate-limiting step of the reduction process. 相似文献

Background
Single-center studies suggest an increasing incidence of acute pancreatitis (AP) in children. Our specific aims were to (i) estimate the recent secular trends, (ii) assess the disease burden, and (iii) define the demographics and comorbid conditions of AP in hospitalized children within the United States.Methods
We used the Healthcare Cost and Utilization Project Kids’ Inpatient Database, Agency for Healthcare Research and Quality for the years 2000 to 2009. Extracted data were weighted to generate national-level estimates. We used the Cochrane-Armitage test to analyze trends; cohort-matching to evaluate the association of AP and in-hospital mortality, length of stay, and charges; and multivariable logistic regression to test the association of AP and demographics and comorbid conditions.Results
We identified 55,012 cases of AP in hospitalized children (1–20 years of age). The incidence of AP increased from 23.1 to 34.9 (cases per 10,000 hospitalizations per year; P<0.001) and for all-diagnoses 38.7 to 61.1 (P<0.001). There was an increasing trend in the incidence of both primary and all-diagnoses of AP (P<0.001). In-hospital mortality decreased (13.1 to 7.6 per 1,000 cases, P<0.001), median length of stay decreased (5 to 4 days, P<0.001), and median charges increased ($14,956 to $22,663, P<0.001). Children with AP compared to those without the disease had lower in-hospital mortality (adjusted odds ratio, aOR 0.86, 95% CI, 0.78–0.95), longer lengths of stay (aOR 2.42, 95% CI, 2.40–2.46), and higher charges (aOR 1.62, 95% CI, 1.59–1.65). AP was more likely to occur in children older than 5 years of age (aORs 2.81 to 5.25 for each 5-year age interval). Hepatobiliary disease was the comorbid condition with the greatest association with AP.Conclusions
These results demonstrate a rising incidence of AP in hospitalized children. Despite improvements in mortality and length of stay, hospitalized children with AP have significant morbidity. 相似文献8.

Flavonoids comprise a group of natural polyphenols consisting of more than 5,000 subtypes mostly existing in fruits and vegetables. Flavonoids consumption could potentially attenuate the incidence and recurrence risk of colorectal cancers through their antiperoxidative, antioxidant, and anti-inflammatory effects. In addition, these compounds regulate the mitochondrial function, balance the bacterial flora and promote the apoptosis process in cancerous cells. However, some previous data failed to show the effectiveness of flavonoids in reducing the risk of colorectal cancer. In this study, we have reviewed the efficacy of different flavonoids subtypes on the risk of colon cancer and molecular mechanisms involved in this process in both clinical and animal studies. In addition, we tried to elucidate the potential synergy between these compounds and current colorectal cancer treatments. 相似文献

The present study aimed at evaluating the ability of some isolated cyanobacterial and microalgal strains for the removal of ρ-chlorophenol (ρ-CP), an environmentally harmful contaminant. To identify the most efficient species, a screening program was carried out using 15 microalgal and cyanobacterial strains. Among them, Tetraselmis suecica was able to remove 67 % of the ρ-chlorophenol at an initial concentration of 20 mg L?1 from the medium within a 10-day period. The efficacy of the process was dependent on the ρ-chlorophenol concentration. At concentrations above 60 mg L?1 of the pollutant, no removal was observed due to the inhibitory effect of ρ-chlorophenol on the T. suecica cells. The effect of cell immobilization in alginate beads on T. suecica removal capacity was also examined. Using this technique, the removal efficacy for the initial ρ-CP concentration of 20 mg L?1 increased up to 94 %. 相似文献

The alpha-toxin is one of the virulence factors of Clostridium perfringens for gas gangrene in humans and animals or necrotic enteritis in poultry. The C-terminal domain of this toxin ( cpa 247-370 ) was synthesized and cloned into pT1NX vector to construct the pT1NX-alpha plasmid. This surface-expressing plasmid was electroporated into Lactobacillus casei ATCC 393, generating the recombinant L. casei strain expressing alpha-toxoid (LC-α strain). Expression of this modified alpha-toxoid was confirmed by SDS-PAGE, immunoblotting, and direct immunofluorescence microscopy. BALB/c mice, immunized orally by the recombinant LC-α strain, elicited mucosal and significantly humoral immune responses (p < 0.05) and developed a protection against 900 MLD/mL of the standard alpha-toxin. This study showed that this recombinant LC-α strain could be a promising vaccine candidate against gas gangrene and necrotic enteritis. 相似文献
