Evidences about the preventive and therapeutic effects of boron compounds on cancer have been increasing in the last years. Although calcium fructoborate (CaFB) is used as a nutritional supplement, data about its preventive and therapeutic effects on neoplastic transformations are limited. In the present study, the various concentrations of CaFB were applied to the MDA-MB-231 metastatic breast cancer cell line. First, we examined the cytotoxic effect and IC50 value of CaFB by MTT assay. For the evaluation of the DNA damage, apoptosis and metastatic potential, expression levels of ATM, pATM, PARP, p53, p-p53, caspase-3, caspase-9, and VEGF were investigated by using immunoblotting and immunohistochemical methods. Cell viability was significantly reduced at 50 μM CaFB treatment. pATM, p-p53, and caspase-9 levels increased significantly in all groups; furthermore, there was approximately 12.5-, 2.4-, and 10.7-fold increase, respectively, for 100 μM CaFB treatment. ATM and p53 levels did not change with CaFB treatment, but PARP levels significantly 2.5-fold decreased. While VEGF immunoreactivity decreased in all groups, significant increase in caspase-3 immunoreactivity was observed only in the group treated with 50 μM CaFB (p < 0,001). Our results imply that CaFB may have therapeutic potential as well as preventive benefits in cancer. 相似文献

Cobalt is an important element with magnetic properties used in various industrial applications, but is also needed for biological activity. Very little is known about the cellular response of living systems to cobalt stress. Towards investigating this mechanism, we isolated individual Saccharomyces cerevisiae cells resistant to high cobalt concentrations up to 8 mmol l−1, by employing four different ‘in vivo’ evolutionary engineering strategies: selection under constant or gradually increasing stress levels, and selection under continuous or pulse exposure to cobalt stress. Selection under continuous exposure to gradually increasing cobalt stress levels yielded the most resistant cell population to cobalt. However, the resistance was highly heterogeneous within the mutant populations ranging from 3- to 3700-fold survival rate of isolated individuals to 8 mmol l−1 CoCl2 in the most resistant population. Moreover, cobalt-resistant individual colonies were associated with 2–4-times lower intracellular cobalt contents as compared to wild-type, and with cross-resistance to metals such as nickel, zinc, manganese, but not to copper and chromium ions. Contrary to mutants evolved under continuous exposure to cobalt, those isolated by pulse exposure strategy also exhibited resistance to heat shock and hydrogen peroxide stress. Taken together, this study reinforced the fact that evolutionary engineering is useful in selecting strains with very specific phenotypes, and further illustrated the importance of the strategy chosen to isolate the best evolved strain. 相似文献

The effect of vitamin E on blood-brain barrier (BBB) permeability was studied under conditions of pentylenetetrazole (PTZ)-induced
convulsions in aged (23- to 24-month-old) male albino rats; Evans Blue was used as a tracer. The BBB permeability was found
to increase considerably in rats with PTZ-evoked seizures; the Evans Blue contents in the left and right hemispheres and cerebellum
+ brainstem region were significantly higher than those in the control. Vitamin E at a dose of 70 mg/kg exerted practically
no beneficial effect on the increased BBB permeability in rats with seizures, while a greater dose of vitamin E (700 mg/kg)
exerted a significant protective effect, especially with respect to the cerebellum + brainstem regions (P < 0.01). The seizure-related rise in the arterial blood pressure was also smaller in the latter experimental group. Thus,
our observations confirm the importance of the vitamin E dose as a protective factor for BBB permeability and demonstrate
that the dose dependence of this antioxidant in aged animals differs from that in younger organisms. 相似文献

Classical homocystinuria is the most commonly inherited disorder of sulfur metabolism, caused by the genetic alterations in human cystathionine beta-synthase (CBS) gene. In this study, we present comprehensive clinical findings and the genetic basis of homocystinuria in a cohort of Turkish patients. Excluding some CBS mutations, detailed genotype–phenotype correlation for different CBS mutations has not been established in literature. We aimed to make clinical subgroups according to main clinical symptoms and discussed these data together with mutational analysis results from our patients. Totally, 16 different mutations were identified; twelve of which had already been reported, and four are novel (p.N93Y, p.L251P, p.D281V and c.829−2A>T). The probands were classified into three major groups according to the clinical symptoms caused by these mutations. A psychomotor delay was the most common diagnostic symptom (n = 12, 46.2% neurological presentation), followed by thromboembolic events (n = 6, 23.1% vascular presentation) and lens ectopia, myopia or marfanoid features (n = 5, 19.2% connective tissue presentation). Pyridoxine responsiveness was 7.7%; however, with partial responsive probands, the ratio was 53.9%. 相似文献

To discuss the classification and possible scenarios for the speciation of Carthamus species in Turkey, 143 species occurrence data from Turkey used in Ecological Niche Modelling (ENM), ITS sequences of 23 available species gathered from the GenBank and current distribution information were used. The ENM was carried out by using MAXENT software. Among the 19 bioclimatic variables used in ENM, precipitation of coldest quarter (25 %), mean temperature of driest quarter (19 %) and annual precipitation (17 %) parameters have the highest percent contribution to the resulting prediction pattern, respectively. Bayesian-based phylogenetic analysis with divergence time estimation was implemented to obtain phylogenetic history of Carthamus species. Statistical dispersal–vicariance analysis and Bayesian binary MCMC analysis were also used to discuss biogeographical inferences. An identification key for Turkish Carthamus species that is in accordance with phylogenies was given. Ancestral area reconstruction analyses pointed out that the Western Asia region was the ancestral area for Carthamus species and in the Pliocene/Pleistocene period they started to diversify. Also ENM results clearly indicate that especially Anatolian species used Aegean and Mediterranean coastal part of Anatolia as potential refugia. 相似文献
