Facioscapulohumeral dystrophy (FSHD) is a muscular hereditary disease with a prevalence of 1 in 20,000 caused by a partial deletion of a subtelomeric repeat array on chromosome 4q. However, very little is known about the pathogenesis as well as the molecular and biochemical changes linked to the progressive muscle degeneration observed in these patients. Several studies have investigated possible pathophysiological pathways in FSHD myoblasts and mature muscle cells but some of these reports were apparently in contradiction. The discrepancy between these studies may be explained by differences between the sources of myoblasts. Therefore, we decided to thoroughly analyze affected and unaffected muscles from patients with FSHD in terms of vulnerability to oxidative stress, differentiation capacity and morphological abnormalities. We have established a panel of primary myoblast cell cultures from patients affected with FSHD and matched healthy individuals. Our results show that primary myoblasts are more susceptible to an induced oxidative stress than control myoblasts. Moreover, we demonstrate that both types of FSHD primary myoblasts differentiate into multi-nucleated myotubes, which present morphological abnormalities. Whereas control myoblasts fuse to form branched myotubes with aligned nuclei, FSHD myoblasts fuse to form either thin and branched myotubes with aligned nuclei or large myotubes with random nuclei distribution. In conclusion, we postulate that these abnormalities could be responsible for muscle weakness in patients with FSHD and provide an important marker for FSHD myoblasts. 相似文献

Background
Multidrug-resistant tuberculosis (MDR-TB), resistance to at least isoniazid and rifampin, is a worldwide problem.Objective
To develop a clinical prediction rule to stratify risk for MDR-TB among patients with pulmonary tuberculosis.Methods
Derivation and internal validation of the rule among adult patients prospectively recruited from 37 health centers (Perú), either a) presenting with a positive acid-fast bacillus smear, or b) had failed therapy or had a relapse within the first 12 months.Results
Among 964 patients, 82 had MDR-TB (prevalence, 8.5%). Variables included were MDR-TB contact within the family, previous tuberculosis, cavitary radiologic pattern, and abnormal lung exam. The area under the receiver-operating curve (AUROC) was 0.76. Selecting a cut-off score of one or greater resulted in a sensitivity of 72.6%, specificity of 62.8%, likelihood ratio (LR) positive of 1.95, and LR negative of 0.44. Similarly, selecting a cut-off score of two or greater resulted in a sensitivity of 60.8%, specificity of 87.5%, LR positive of 4.85, and LR negative of 0.45. Finally, selecting a cut-off score of three or greater resulted in a sensitivity of 45.1%, specificity of 95.3%, LR positive of 9.56, and LR negative of 0.58.Conclusion
A simple clinical prediction rule at presentation can stratify risk for MDR-TB. If further validated, the rule could be used for management decisions in resource-limited areas. 相似文献73.

A new family of microtubule-targeting agents with a phenothiazine A-ring was synthesized and evaluated for anti-proliferative activity and interaction with tubulin. These new derivatives showed significant activities against cellular proliferation and tubulin polymerization, rather similar to those of phenstatin. Phenothiazine derivative 21 proved to be the most potent compound synthesized with GI50 values ranging from 29 to 93 nM on different cell lines. The same compound showed a better inhibition of COLO 205, A498, and MCF7 cell lines than the parent phenstatin. 相似文献

Abstract Mechanical stress is a widespread environmental condition that can be caused by several factors (i.e. gravity, touch, wind, soil density, soil compaction and grazing, slope) and that can severely affect plant stability. In response to mechanical stress and to improve their anchorage, plants have developed complex mechanisms to detect mechanical perturbation and to induce a suite of modifications at anatomical, physiological, biochemical, biophysical and molecular level. Although it is well recognized that one of the primary functions of root systems is to anchor the plant to the soil, root response to mechanical stresses have been investigated mainly at morphological and biomechanical level, whereas investigations about the molecular mechanisms underlying these important alterations are still in an initial stage. We have used an experimental system in which the taproot poplar seedlings are bent to simulate mechanical perturbation to begin investigate the mechanisms involved in root response to mechanical stress. The results reported herein show that, in response to bending, the poplar root changes its morphology by emitting new lateral roots, and its biomechanical properties by increasing the root biomass and lignin synthesis. In addition, using a proteomic approach, we found that several proteins involved in the signal transduction pathway, detoxification and metabolism are up-regulated and/or down-regulated in the bent root. These results provide new insight into the obscure field of woody root response to mechanical stress, and can serve as a basis for future investigations aimed at unravelling the complex mechanism involved in the reaction of root biology to environmental stress. 相似文献

The aim of this study was to determine the contribution of dietary amino acids (AA) to energy metabolism under high protein
(HP) diets, using a double tracer method to follow simultaneously the metabolic fate of α-amino groups and carbon skeletons.
Sixty-seven male Wistar rats were fed a normal (NP) or HP diet for 14 days. Fifteen of them were equipped with a permanent
catheter. On day 15, after fasting overnight, they received a 4-g meal extrinsically labeled with a mixture of 20 U-[15N]-[13C] AA. Energy metabolism, dietary AA deamination and oxidation and their transfer to plasma glucose were measured kinetically
for 4 h in the catheterized rats. The transfer of dietary AA to liver glycogen was determined at 4 h. The digestive kinetics
of dietary AA, their transfer into liver AA and proteins and the liver glycogen content were measured in the 52 other rats
that were killed sequentially hourly over a 4-h period. [15N] and [13C] kinetics in the splanchnic protein pools were perfectly similar. Deamination increased fivefold in HP rats compared to
NP rats. In the latter, all deaminated AA were oxidized. In HP rats, the oxidation rate was slower than deamination, so that
half of the deaminated AA was non-oxidized within 4 h. Non-oxidized carbon skeletons were poorly sequestrated in glycogen,
although there was a significant postprandial production of hepatic glycogen. Our results strongly suggest that excess dietary
AA-derived carbon skeletons above the ATP production capacity, are temporarily retained in intermediate metabolic pools until
the oxidative capacities of the liver are no longer overwhelmed by an excess of substrates. 相似文献

BackgroundTo date, paediatric thyroid cancer has been the most severe health consequence of the Chernobyl accident, caused by radioactive iodine (131I) aerosol's dispersion. WHO recommends a single dose of potassium iodide (KI) to reduce this risk. Following the Fukushima accident, it became obvious that repetitive doses of KI may be necessary due to multiple exposures to 131I. Knowledge about the effects of repeated ITB (Iodine Thyroid Blocking) is scarce and controversial. KI may affect the thyroid hormones synthesis; which is crucial for the cardiovascular function. Furthermore, myocardial and vascular endothelial tissues are sensitizes to subtle changes at the concentration of circulating pituitary and/or thyroid hormones.ObjectiveIn this preclinical study, we aimed to assess the effects of repeated ITB in elderly male rats.MethodsTwelve months old male Wistar rats were subjected to either KI or saline solution for eight days. Analyses were performed 24 h and 30 days after the treatment discontinuation.FindingsWe reported a significant increase (18%) in some urinary parameters related to renal function, a subtle decrease of plasma TSH level, a significant increase (379%) in renin and a significant decrease (50%) in aldosterone upon KI administration. At the molecular level, the expression of thyroid and cardiovascular genes was significantly affected by the treatment. However, in our experimental settlement, animal heart rate was not significantly affected thirty days after KI discontinuation. ECG patterns did not change after administration of KI, and arrhythmia was not observed in these conditions despite the PR-intervals decreased significantly. Cardiovascular physiology was preserved.ConclusionOur results indicate that repeated ITB in elderly rats is characterized by molecular modifications of cardiovascular key actors, particularly the Renin-angiotensin-aldosterone axis with a preserved physiological homeostasis. This new scientific evidence may be useful for the maturation of ITB guidelines especially for elderly sub-population. 相似文献

The inositol (1,4,5) trisphosphate 3-kinases comprise a family of enzymes (A, B, and C) that phosphorylate the calcium mobilising molecule inositol (1,4,5) trisphosphate (IP(3)) to generate inositol (1,3,4,5) tetrakisphosphate. This molecule can function as a second messenger, but its roles are not completely understood. The A isoform of inositol (1,4,5) trisphosphate 3-kinase localises to filamentous actin within dendritic spines in the hippocampus and is implicated in the regulation of spine morphology and long term potentiation, however the mechanisms through which it signals in neuronal cells are not completely understood. We have used NGF driven neurite outgrowth from PC12 cells as a platform to examine the impact of signaling via inositol (1,4,5) trisphosphate 3-kinase activity in a neuronal cell. We have found that the catalytic activity of the enzyme opposes neurite outgrowth, whilst pharmacological inhibition of inositol (1,4,5) trisphosphate 3-kinase leads to a significant increase in neurite outgrowth, and we show that the reduction in neurite outgrowth in response to inositol (1,4,5) trisphosphate 3-kinase activity correlates with reduced ERK activity as determined by western blotting using phosphorylation-specific antibodies. Our findings suggest a novel neuronal signaling pathway linking metabolism of IP(3) to signaling via ERK. 相似文献

The biological screening of the chemical library of our Organic Chemistry Department, carried out on an automated fluorescence-based FTase assay, allowed us to discover that a phenothiazine derivative (1d) was an inhibitor of farnesyltransferase. Three new series of human farnesyltransferase inhibitors, based on a phenothiazine scaffold, were synthesized with protein farnesyltransferase inhibition potencies in the low micromolar range. Ester derivative 9d was the most active compound in these series. Four synthesized compounds were evaluated for their antiproliferative activity on a NCI-60 cancer cell line panel. The modest results obtained in this preliminary investigation showed that mixing the phenothiazine and the 1,2,3-triazole motif in the structure of a single compound can lead to new scaffolds in the field of farnesyltransferase inhibitors. 相似文献

The antidepressant fluoxetine has been under discussion because of its potential influence on cancer risk. It was found to inhibit the development of carcinogen-induced preneoplastic lesions in colon tissue, but the mechanisms of action are not well understood. Therefore, we investigated anti-proliferative effects, and used HT29 colon tumor cells in vitro, as well as C57BL/6 mice exposed to intra-rectal treatment with the carcinogen N-methyl-N’-nitro-N-nitrosoguanidine (MNNG) as models. Fluoxetine increased the percentage of HT29 cells in the G0/G1 phase of cell-cycle, and the expression of p27 protein. This was not related to an induction of apoptosis, reactive oxygen species or DNA damage. In vivo, fluoxetine reduced the development of MNNG-induced dysplasia and vascularization-related dysplasia in colon tissue, which was analyzed by histopathological techniques. An anti-proliferative potential of fluoxetine was observed in epithelial and stromal areas. It was accompanied by a reduction of VEGF expression and of the number of cells with angiogenic potential, such as CD133, CD34, and CD31-positive cell clusters. Taken together, our findings suggest that fluoxetine treatment targets steps of early colon carcinogenesis. This confirms its protective potential, explaining at least partially the lower colon cancer risk under antidepressant therapy. 相似文献
