High expression of the epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) has been implicated in the development of squamous-cell carcinomas of head and neck (SCCHN). ZD1839 ('Iressa') is an orally active, selective EGFR-TKI (EGFR-tyrosine kinase inhibitor) that blocks signal transduction pathways implicated in proliferation and survival of cancer cells, and other host-dependent processes promoting cancer growth. We have demonstrated that ZD1839 induces growth arrest in SCCHN cell lines by inhibiting EGFR-mediated signaling. Cell cycle kinetic analysis demonstrated that ZD1839 induces a delay in cell cycle progression and a G1 arrest together with a partial G2/M block; this was associated with increased expression of both p27(KIP1) and p21(CIP1/WAF1) cyclin-dependent kinase (CDK) inhibitors. The activity of CDK2, the main target of CIP/KIP CDK inhibitors, was reduced in a dose-dependent fashion after 24 h of ZD1839 treatment and this effect correlated to the increased amount of p27(KIP1) and p21(CIP1/WAF1) proteins associated with CDK2-cyclin-E and CDK2-cyclin-A complexes. In addition, ZD1839-induced growth inhibition was significantly reduced in cell transfectants expressing p27(KIP1) or p21(CIP1/WAF1) antisense constructs. Overall, these results as well as the timing of the effect of ZD1839 on G1 arrest and p27(KIP1) and p21(CIP1/WAF1) upregulation, suggest a mechanistic connection between these events. 相似文献

The presence of DNA fragments in blood and milk from goats fed conventional (control) or Roundup Ready® soybean meal solvent extracted (s.e.; treated) was investigated by using a polymerase chain reaction approach. The same investigation was carried out on blood, skeletal muscle and organs from kids of both groups fed only dams’ milk until weaning. Moreover, the possible effects on cell metabolism were evaluated by determination of several specific enzymes in serum, heart, skeletal muscle, liver and kidney. Fragments of the multicopy chloroplast (trnL) gene were found in blood and milk samples from goats of both groups. In kids, the chloroplast fragments were found in samples of both groups. In samples, which proved positive for the presence of chloroplast DNA, fragments of the specific soybean single copy gene (lectin) were detected in several blood and milk samples. The same fragment was also found in control and treated groups of kids. Transgenic fragments were not found in those samples, which were found positive for chloroplast fragments of control groups of either goats or kids. On the contrary, in blood and milk of treated goats, fragments both of the 35S promoter and the CP4 epsps gene were detected. These fragments were also found in treated kids with a significant detection of the 35S promoter in liver, kidney and blood, and of the CP4 epsps gene fragment in liver, kidney, heart and muscle. A significant increase in lactic dehydrogenase, mainly concerning the lactic dehydrogenase-1 isoenzyme was found in heart, skeletal muscle and kidney of treated kids, thus suggesting a change in the local production of the enzyme. Finally, no significant differences were detected concerning kid body and organ weight. 相似文献

Mononuclear phagocytes were isolated by adherence from peripheral blood, peritoneal exudates, early lactation milk, ovarian carcinomatous ascites and bronchoalveolar lavages. Their capacity to modulate natural killer (NK) activity was assessed by mixing them with blood lymphocytes and by measuring lysis of 51Cr-labeled K562 cells. Unlike other mononuclear phagocyte populations, alveolar macrophages caused a marked dose-dependent inhibition of NK activity. Significant inhibition (40%) of the expression of cytotoxicity was evident at a ratio of alveolar macrophages to lymphoid cells of 0.12:1, and more than 80% suppression was usually observed at a ratio of 0.5:1. Blood monocytes, peritoneal and milk macrophages were consistently inactive up to the highest ratio tested, 2:1. Inhibition of the expression of NK activity by alveolar macrophages was observed at lymphocyte to K562 ratios ranging from 6:1 to 100:1 and over a 4 h or 20 h 51Cr release assay. Alveolar macrophages also inhibited interferon-stimulated cytotoxicity. Alveolar macrophages are unique among the mononuclear phagocyte populations studied in their capacity to inhibit the expression of NK activity effectively, and they could play a role in determining the low levels of NK activity associated with human pulmonary tissue. 相似文献

The coffee fermentation microflora were rich and mainly constituted of aerobic Gram-negative bacilli, with Erwinia and Klebsiella genuses at the highest frequencies. The best population increase was observed with lactic acid bacteria and yeasts, whereas
those microorganisms that counted on a pectin medium remained constant during the fermentation step. Qualitatively, lactic
acid bacteria belonged mainly to Leuconostoc mesenteroides species but the others microflora were relatively heterogeneous. The microorganisms isolated on pectin medium were Enterobacteriaceae,
identified as Erwinia herbicola and Klebsiella pneumoniae, not reported as strong pectolytic strains. Throughout coffee fermentation, 60% of the simple sugars were degraded by the
total microflora and not specifically by pectolytic microorganisms.

Apoptosis during chick inner ear development: some observations by TEM and TUNEL techniques 总被引:3,自引:0,他引:3
In order to clarify the occurrence, distribution and possible role of apoptosis during inner ear development, the ultrastructural aspects (by TEM) (at 9-19 incubation day and 1 day after hatching) and the distribution of the apoptotic phenomenon (by the TdT-mediated dUTP nick end-labeling technique), were studied in the crista ampullaris of chick embryo at 5-19 days of incubation to hatching and of postnatal 1-day old chick. We found, in the sensorial epithelium, dark supporting cells in chick embryos and mainly dark hair cells in postnatal chicks, both with ultrastructural features consistent with those of apoptosis. The presence of apoptotic phenomena was confirmed by the TUNEL technique. According to our findings, it is hypothesized that apoptosis in the inner ear may be involved: 1) at first, in macroscopic remodelling of the membranous labyrinth in early developmental stages, 2) later, in the correct differentiation of the hair and of the supporting cells, leading to characteristic cellular pattern formation and 3) finally, in physiological cell turnover of the postnatal chicken sensorial epithelium of the crista. 相似文献

The morphostructural features of the lymphatic circle of swine visceral pleura were investigated by means of vital dye injection in the pleural cavity. In the animals treated as mentioned previously it was possible to observe that in the visceral pleura the superficial lymphatic network had formed the very thick mesh, while the underlying pulmonary parenchyma was not interested. This behaviour lets us suppose that the drainage of the visceral pleura is mainly a direct one. 相似文献

The behavior of the ERS was studied in water buffalo of both sexes from one week to nine years of age. A progressive and considerable increase in the values of the ERS, with a respective increase in the animal's age, was noted. Concerning the factors conditioning such peculiarities, the authors attribute importance to the following items: the number of erythrocytes, the plasmatic viscosity, and the total proteinemia (especially in the region of the gamma-globulins that, among those taken in the study, exhibited the greatest variations). 相似文献
