Conjunctival melanoma is a relatively rare malignancy. It is presented as pigmented nodule in any area of conjunctiva, amelanotic tumors are pink with smooth appearance. The authors describe an amelanotic melanoma of the conjunctiva in an 82-year-old female patient. Cytological, histopathological and immunohistochemical studies revealed an invasive amelanotic melanoma exhibiting S-100 and MART-1 positivity. The patient undervent surgical and chemotherapy treatment and three years after the initial treatment is in the terminal stage of metastatic disease. Absence of pigmentation delayed early clinical detection and treatment. Awareness of this nonpigmented melanoma is crucial for early recognition and appropriate management. 相似文献

Sample preparation, especially protein and peptide fractionation prior to identification by mass spectrometry (MS), is typically applied to reduce sample complexity. The second key element in this process is proteolytic digestion, which is performed most often with trypsin. Optimization of this step is an important factor in order to achieve both speed and better performance of proteomic analysis, and tryptic digestion prior to the MS analysis has been a topic of many studies. To date, only a few studies have paid attention to the negative interaction between the proteolytic enzyme and sample components, and sample losses caused by these interactions. In this study, we demonstrated impaired activity after "in solution" tryptic digestion of plasma proteins caused by a potent trypsin inhibitor family, inter-alpha inhibitor proteins. Sample boiling followed by gel electrophoretic separation and "in-gel" digestion drastically improved both the number of identified proteins and the sequence coverage in subsequent LC-ESI-MS/MS. The present investigations show that a thorough validation is necessary when "in solution" digestion followed by LC-MS analysis of complex biological samples is performed. The parallel use of two or more different mass spectrometers can also yield additional information and contribute to further method validation. 相似文献

At submicromolar concentrations two novel phenanthridine biguanides exhibit distinctly different spectroscopic signals for dGdC and dAdT sequences, respectively, by opposite fluorimetric changes (quenching for dGdC and increase for dAdT) and especially the bis-biguanide derivative gives an opposite ICD response (negative ICD for dGC and strong positive for dAdT). This specific signalling was explained by the ability of compounds to switch the binding mode from intercalation into dGdC to minor groove binding into dAdT sequences. Both compounds bind to rArU by intercalation, yielding different fluorimetric and CD response in comparison to any of aforementioned ds-DNA. Moreover, both compounds revealed significantly higher affinity toward ds-polynucleotides in comparison to previously studied alkylamine- and urea-analogues. Furthermore, DNA/RNA binding properties of novel compounds could be controlled by pH, due to the protonation of heterocyclic nitrogen. Low in vitro cytotoxicity of both compounds against human cell lines makes them interesting spectrophotometric probes. 相似文献

This review surveys the soft ionisation mass spectrometric methods that are most commonly used for the investigation of the mechanism of interaction between metallo-drugs and biomolecules. In the first part of the review, an overview of the applications of transition metal complexes in the therapy of various diseases (arthritis, cancer, diabetes) is given, whereas the second part focuses on the obtained results dealing with various aspects of the interaction between metal complexes and different types of biomolecules. Possibilities and limitations of each mass spectrometric method-namely, fast atom bombardment (FAB), electrospray ionisation (ESI) and matrix-assisted laser desorption and ionisation (MALDI)--are discussed in the third part of this review along with the examples of their application for the analysis of metal complexes, as well as of the products of their interaction with biomolecules. 相似文献

The peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor γ coactivator 1 (PGC-1) proteins are key regulators of cellular bioenergetics and are accordingly expressed in tissues with a high energetic demand. For example, PGC-1α and PGC-1β control organ function of brown adipose tissue, heart, brain, liver and skeletal muscle. Surprisingly, despite their prominent role in the control of mitochondrial biogenesis and oxidative metabolism, expression and function of the PGC-1 coactivators in the retina, an organ with one of the highest energy demands per tissue weight, are completely unknown. Moreover, the molecular mechanisms that coordinate energy production with repair processes in the damaged retina remain enigmatic. In the present study, we thus investigated the expression and function of the PGC-1 coactivators in the healthy and the damaged retina. We show that PGC-1α and PGC-1β are found at high levels in different structures of the mouse retina, most prominently in the photoreceptors. Furthermore, PGC-1α knockout mice suffer from a striking deterioration in retinal morphology and function upon detrimental light exposure. Gene expression studies revealed dysregulation of all major pathways involved in retinal damage and apoptosis, repair and renewal in the PGC-1α knockouts. The light-induced increase in apoptosis in vivo in the absence of PGC-1α was substantiated in vitro, where overexpression of PGC-1α evoked strong anti-apoptotic effects. Finally, we found that retinal levels of PGC-1 expression are reduced in different mouse models for retinitis pigmentosa. We demonstrate that PGC-1α is a central coordinator of energy production and, importantly, all of the major processes involved in retinal damage and subsequent repair. Together with the observed dysregulation of PGC-1α and PGC-1β in retinitis pigmentosa mouse models, these findings thus imply that PGC-1α might be an attractive target for therapeutic approaches aimed at retinal degeneration diseases. 相似文献

The effect of calcium supplementation on absorption and retention of cadmium in the suckling period was evaluated in Wistar rat pups of both sexes. Animals were maintained in the litters with the mother rats and supplemented with 1%, 3% or 6% calcium (as CaHPO4×2H2O) in cow's milk by artificial feeding from day of birth 6 through 14. All rats were exposed to cadmium (as CdCl2×H2O) either orally or parenterally. Oral cadmium dose of 0.5 mg/kg body weight a day was administered through nine-day period of calcium supplementation and parenteral cadmium dose was injected subcutaneously in a single dose of 0.5 mg Cd/kg body weight prior to calcium supplementation. On experimental day 10 (at the age of pups of 15 days) all animals were killed and the liver, kidneys, brain and carcass (body without organs and skin) were removed for element analyses. Cadmium and essential elements calcium, zinc and iron were analysed in the tissues by atomic absorption spectrometry. Results showed that after oral exposure cadmium concentrations in all calcium-supplemented groups were significantly decreased in the organs and carcass and that the effect was dose-related. No such effect of calcium was found after parenteral cadmium exposure. Calcium supplementation per se significantly increased calcium concentration in the carcass and had no effect on iron in organs and zinc in carcass. It was concluded that calcium supplementation during the suckling period could be an efficient way of reducing oral cadmium absorption and retention without affecting tissue essential trace element concentrations. 相似文献

Atlantic salmon (Salmo salar) preadipocytes, isolated from visceral adipose tissue, differentiate from an unspecialized fibroblast like cell type to mature adipocytes filled with lipid droplets in culture. The expression of the adipogenic gene markers peroxisome proliferated activated receptor (PPAR) alpha, lipoprotein lipase (LPL), microsomal triglyceride transfer protein (MTP), fatty acid transport protein (FATP) 1 and fatty acid binding protein (FABP) 3 increased during differentiation. In addition, we describe a novel alternatively spliced form of PPARgamma (PPARgamma short), the expression of which increased during differentiation. Eicosapentaenoic acid (20:5n-3, EPA) and docosahexaenoic acid (22:6n-3, DHA) lowered the triacylglycerol (TAG) accumulation in mature salmon adipocytes compared to oleic acid (18:1n-9, OA). This finding indicates that a reduced level of highly unsaturated n-3 fatty acids (HUFAs) in fish diets, when the traditional marine oil is exchanged for n-9 fatty acids (FAs) rich vegetable oils (VOs), may influence visceral fat deposition in salmonids. Moreover, major differences in the metabolism of EPA, DHA and OA at different stages during differentiation of adipocytes occur. Most of the EPA and DHA were oxidized in preadipocytes, while they were mainly stored in TAGs in mature adipocytes in contrast to OA which was primarily stored in TAGs at all stages of differentiation. 相似文献

A small series of 1‐acetyl‐2‐(4‐alkoxy‐3‐methoxyphenyl)cyclopropanes was prepared, starting from dehydrozingerone (4‐(4‐hydroxy‐3‐methoxyphenyl)‐3‐buten‐2‐one) and its O‐alkyl derivatives. Their microbiological activities toward some strains of bacteria and fungi were tested, as well as their in vitro cytotoxic activity against some cancer cell lines (HeLa, LS174 and A549). All synthesized compounds showed significant antimicrobial activity and expressed cytotoxic activity against tested carcinoma cell lines, but they showed no significant influence on normal cell line (MRC5). Butyl derivative is the most active on HeLa cells (IC50 = 8.63 μm ), while benzyl one is active against LS174 and A549 cell lines (IC50 = 10.17 and 12.15 μm , respectively). 相似文献
