Blood transfusion or blood products, such as plasma, have a long history in improving health, but today, platelet-rich plasma (PRP) is used in various medical areas such as surgery, orthopedics, and rheumatology in many ways. Considering the high efficiency of tissue engineering in repairing bone defects, in this study, we investigated the combined effect of nanofibrous scaffolds in combination with PRP on the osteogenic differentiation potential of human induced pluripotent stem cells (iPSCs). Electrospinning was used for fabricating nanofibrous scaffolds by polyvinylidene fluoride/collagen (PVDF/col) with and without PRP. After scaffold characterization, the osteoinductivity of the fabricated scaffolds was studied by culturing human iPSCs under osteogenic medium. The results showed that PRP has a considerable positive effect on the biocompatibility of the PVDF/col nanofibrous scaffold when examined by protein adsorption, cell attachment, and 3-(4,5-dimethylthiazol-2-yl)-2,5-diphenyltetrazolium bromide assays. In addition, the results obtained from alkaline phosphatase activity and calcium content assays demonstrated that nanofibers have higher osteoinductivity while grown on PRP-incorporated PVDF/col nanofibers. These results were also confirmed while the osteogenic differentiation of the iPSCs was more investigated by evaluating the most important bone-related genes expression level. According to the results, it can be concluded that PVDF/col/PRP has much more osteoinductivity while compared with the PVDF/col, and it can be introduced as a promising bone bio-implant for use in bone tissue engineering applications. 相似文献

In this study, the compositions of transgenic potatoes (TPs) resistant to potato tuber moth (Phthorimaea operculella) were compared with those of its non-transgenic (NTP) counterparts. The light inducible promoter, phosphoenolpyruvate carboxylase led to the expression of Cry1Ab only in the leaves and light-treated tubers of the TPs. No significant differences were found in the moisture, ash, dry weight, total soluble protein, carbohydrate, starch, fiber, ascorbate, cations, anions, fatty acids, and glycoalkaloids contents of TP and NTP. Moreover, light treatment significantly affected the contents of ascorbate, acetate and nitrite anions, palmitic, stearic and linolenic fatty acids, α-haconine and α-solanine glycoalkaloids in TP and NTP tubers. While, significant differences were observed in the amino acid contents in light-treated tubers of TPs than the NTP ones. Although, light treatment in potato tubers resulted in marked metabolic changes, all the variations observed in the metabolites compositions were found to be within the desired reference ranges for potato plants. In conclusion, the results indicated that the TPs were substantially and nutritionally equivalent to the NTP counterparts. 相似文献

Abrogation of antibody-mediated allograft rejection by regulatory CD4 T cells with indirect allospecificity 总被引:3,自引:0,他引:3

Alloantibody is an important effector mechanism for allograft rejection. In this study, we tested the hypothesis that regulatory T cells with indirect allospecificity can prevent humoral rejection by using a rat transplant model in which acute rejection of MHC class I-disparate PVG.R8 heart grafts by PVG.RT1(u) recipients is mediated by alloantibody and is dependent upon help from CD4 T cells that can recognize the disparate MHC alloantigen only via the indirect pathway. Pretransplant treatment of PVG.RT1(u) recipients with anti-CD4 mAb plus donor-specific transfusion abrogated alloantibody production and prolonged PVG.R8 graft survival indefinitely. Naive syngeneic splenocytes injected into tolerant animals did not effect heart graft rejection, suggesting the presence of regulatory mechanisms. Adoptive transfer experiments into CD4 T cell-reconstituted, congenitally athymic recipients confirmed that regulation was mediated by CD4 T cells and was alloantigen-specific. CD4 T cell regulation could be broken in tolerant animals either by immunizing with an immunodominant linear allopeptide or by depleting tolerant CD4 T cells, but surprisingly this resulted in neither alloantibody generation nor graft rejection. These findings demonstrate that anti-CD4 plus donor-specific transfusion treatment results in the development of CD4 regulatory T cells that recognize alloantigens via the indirect pathway and act in an Ag-specific manner to prevent alloantibody-mediated rejection. Their development is associated with intrinsic tolerance within the alloantigen-specific B cell compartment that persists after T cell help is made available. 相似文献

Arterio-venous grafts (AVGs), the second best option as long-term vascular access for hemodialysis, face major issues of stenosis mainly due to development of intimal hyperplasia at the venous anastomosis which is linked to unfavorable hemodynamic conditions. We have investigated computationally the utility of a coupled sequential venous anastomotic design to replace conventional end-to-side (ETS) venous anastomosis, in order to improve the hemodynamic environment and consequently enhance the patency of AVGs. Two complete vascular access models with the conventional and the proposed venous anastomosis configurations were constructed. Three-dimensional, pulsatile blood flow through the models was simulated, and wall shear stress (WSS)-based hemodynamic parameters were calculated and compared between the two models. Simulation results demonstrated that the proposed anastomotic design provides: (i) a more uniform and smooth flow at the ETS anastomosis, without flow impingement and stagnation point on the artery bed and vortex formation in the heel region of the ETS anastomosis; (ii) more uniform distribution of WSS and substantially lower WSS gradients on the venous wall; and (iii) a spare route for the blood flow to the vein, to avoid re-operation in case of stenosis. The distinctive hemodynamic advantages observed in the proposed anastomotic design can enhance the patency of AVGs. 相似文献

The accuracy of replicating the genetic code is fundamental. DNA repair mechanisms protect the fidelity of the genome ensuring a low error rate between generations. This sustains the similarity of individuals whilst providing a repertoire of variants for evolution. The mutation rate in the human genome has recently been measured to be 50–70 de novo single nucleotide variants (SNVs) between generations. During development mutations accumulate in somatic cells so that an organism is a mosaic. However, variation within a tissue and between tissues has not been analysed. By reprogramming somatic cells into induced pluripotent stem cells (iPSCs), their genomes and the associated mutational history are captured. By sequencing the genomes of polyclonal and monoclonal somatic cells and derived iPSCs we have determined the mutation rates and show how the patterns change from a somatic lineage in vivo through to iPSCs. Somatic cells have a mutation rate of 14 SNVs per cell per generation while iPSCs exhibited a ten-fold lower rate. Analyses of mutational signatures suggested that deamination of methylated cytosine may be the major mutagenic source in vivo, whilst oxidative DNA damage becomes dominant in vitro. Our results provide insights for better understanding of mutational processes and lineage relationships between human somatic cells. Furthermore it provides a foundation for interpretation of elevated mutation rates and patterns in cancer. 相似文献
