Methicillin resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA), particularly strains with type III staphylococcal cassette chromosome mec (SCCmec), represent a serious human pathogen in Tehran, Iran. The disease-causing capability depends on their ability to produce a wide variety of virulent factors. The prevalence of exotoxin genes and multiple-locus variable number of tandem repeats fingerprinting (MLVF) profile among MRSA isolates, from patients in Tehran, was evaluated by PCR and Multiplex-PCR. The MLVF typing of 144 MRSA isolates with type III SCCmec produced 5 different MLVF types. Generally, 97.2% (140/144) of all the isolates were positive for at least one of the tested exotoxin genes. The most prevalent genes were hld, found in 87.5% (126/144) of the isolates followed by lukE-lukD and hla found in 72.9% (105/144) and 70.1% (101/144) of the isolates, respectively. The tst gene, belonging to MLVF types I, IV and V, was found among three of the isolates from blood and wound samples. The sea gene was detected in 58.3% (84/144) of the isolates and the sed and see genes were found in one isolate with MLVF type V. The coexistence of genes was observed in the 87.5% (126/144) of the isolates. The rate of coexistence of hld with lukE-lukD, hla with lukE-lukD and sea with lukE-lukD were 66.7% (96/144), 44.4% (64/144) and 44.4% (64/144), respectively. The present study demonstrated that MRSA strains with type III SCCmec show different MLVF patterns and exotoxin profiles. 相似文献

The hypothesis that combination of deferasirox and deferiprone chelators might be more efficient as combined therapy than single therapy in removing mercury from the body was considered. Male Wistar rats were exposed to mercury vapor for 2 weeks. After mercury administration some abnormal clinical signs such as red staining around the eyes, greenish mottling on the liver, weakness, loss of hair and weight, were observed in animals. Chelators were given orally after mercury vapor application for 2 weeks. Mercury toxicity symptoms in rats decreased after drug administration. After chelation therapy, these rats were anesthetized with ether vapor and immobilized by cervical dislocation and then their heart, liver, kidneys, intestine, spleen and testicles were sampled for determination of mercury and iron concentration. The combined chelation therapy results showed that these chelators are able to remove mercury from the body and toxicity symptoms decreased. 相似文献

Arachidonic acid (AA) reaction with cyclooxygenase (COX) and lipoxygenases (LOX) yield eicosanoids that can mediate prostate cancer proliferation and enhance both tumour vascularization and metastasis. Increasingly measurement of eicosanoids with liquid chromatography is employed to implicate LOX activity in different biological systems and in particular link LOX activity to the progression of cancer in experimental models. This study demonstrates that simply identifying patterns of eicosanoid regio-isomerism is insufficient to designate LOX activity in prostate cancer cells and the analysis must include complete stereochemical assignment of the various isomers in order to validate the assignment of LOX activity. 相似文献

AbstractTwo nickel(II) complexes with substituted bipyridine ligand of the type [Ni(NN)3](ClO4)2, where NN is 4,4′-dimethyl-2,2′-bipyridine (dimethylbpy) (1) and 4,4′-dimethoxy-2,2′-bipyridine (dimethoxybpy) (2), have been synthesized, characterized, and their interaction with DNA and bovine serum albumin (BSA) studied by different physical methods. X-ray crystal structure of 1 shows a six-coordinate complex in a distorted octahedral geometry. DNA-binding studies of 1 and 2 reveal that both complexes sit in DNA groove and then interact with neighboring nucleotides differently; 2 undergoes a partial intercalation. This is supported by molecular-docking studies, where hydrophobic interactions are apparent between 1 and DNA as compared to hydrogen bonding, hydrophobic, and π–π interactions between 2 and DNA minor groove. Moreover, the two complexes exhibit oxidative cleavage of supercoiled plasmid DNA in the presence of hydrogen peroxide as an activator in the order of 1?>?2. In terms of interaction with BSA, the results of spectroscopic methods and molecular docking show that 1 binds with BSA only via hydrophobic contacts while 2 interacts through hydrophobic and hydrogen bonding. It has been extensively demonstrated that the nature of the methyl- and methoxy-groups in ligands is a strong determinant of the bioactivity of nickel(II) complexes. This may justify the above differences in biomolecular interactions. In addition, the in vitro cytotoxicity of the complexes on human carcinoma cells lines (MCF-7, HT-29, and U-87) has been examined by MTT assay. According to our observations, 1 and 2 display cytotoxicity activity against selected cell lines.Communicated by Ramaswamy H. Sarma 相似文献

Interaction between a cationic porphyrin and its ferric derivative with oligo(dA.dT)15 and oligo(dG.dC)15 was studied by UV–vis spectroscopy, resonance light scattering (RLS), and circular dichroism (CD) at different ionic strengths; molecular docking and molecular dynamics simulation were also used for completion. Followings are the observed changes in the spectral properties of meso-tetrakis (N-para-trimethyl-anilium) porphyrin (TMAP), as a free-base porphyrin with no axial ligand, and its Fe derivative (FeTMAP) upon interaction with oligo(dA.dT)15 and oligo(dG.dC)15: (1) the substantial red shift and hypochromicity at the Soret maximum in the UV–vis spectra; (2) the increased RLS intensity by increasing the ionic strength; and (3) an intense bisignate excitonic CD signal. All of them are the reasons for TMAP and FeTMAP binding to oligo(dA.dT)15 and oligo(dG.dC)15 with the outside binding mode, accompanied by the self-stacking of the ligands along the oligonucleotide helix. The CD results demonstrated a drastic change from excitonic in monomeric behavior at higher ionic strengths, which indicates the groove binding of the ligands with oligonucleotides. Molecular docking also confirmed the groove binding mode of the ligands and estimated the binding constants and energies of the interactions. Their interaction trend was further confirmed by molecular dynamics technique and structure parameters obtained from simulation. It showed that TMAP reduced the number of intermolecular hydrogen bonds and increased the solvent accessible surface area in the oligonucleotide. The self-aggregation of ligands at lower concentrations was also confirmed. 相似文献

The aim of this study was to investigate the effect of hyperthermia, 6 MeV electron radiation and combination of these treatments on cancer cell line DU145 in both monolayer culture and spheroids enriched for prostate cancer stem cells (CSCs). Flowcytometric analysis of the expression of molecular markers CD133+/CD44+ was carried out to determine the prostate CSCs in cell line DU145 grown as spheroids in serum-free medium. Following monolayer and spheroid culture, DU145 cells were treated with different doses of hyperthermia, electron beam and combination of them. The survival and self-renewing of the cells were evaluated by colony formation assay (CFA) and spheroid formation assay (SFA). Flowcytometry results indicated that the percentage of CD133+/CD44+ cells in spheroid culture was 13.9-fold higher than in the monolayer culture. The SFA showed significant difference between monolayer and spheroid culture for radiation treatment (6 Gy) and hyperthermia (60 and 90 min). The CFA showed significantly enhanced radiosensitivity in DU145 cells grown as monolayer as compared to spheroids, but no effect of hyperthermia. In contrast, for the combination of radiation and hyperthermia the results of CFA and SFA showed a reduced survival fraction in both cultures, with larger effects in monolayer than in spheroid culture. Thus, hyperthermia may be a promising approach in prostate cancer treatment that enhances the cytotoxic effect of electron radiation. Furthermore, determination and characterization of radioresistance and thermoresistance of CSCs in the prostate tumor is the key to develop more efficient therapeutic strategies. 相似文献

Postmenopausal osteoporosis (OP) is a major concern for public health. Low‐level laser therapy (LLLT) has a positive effect on the health of bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells (BMMSCs). The purpose of this study is to evaluate the influence of LLLT and oxytocin (OT) incubation—individually and in combination—on osteoporotic BMMSCs in ovariectomized rats. Twelve female rats were randomized into two groups to undergo either a sham surgery (sham group) or ovariectomy‐induced osteoporosis (OVX group). MSCs harvested from the BM of healthy and OVX rats underwent culture expansion. There were five groups. In Groups one (sham‐BMMSC) and two (OVX‐BMMSC) the cells were held in osteogenic condition medium without any intervention. In the group three (OT), OT incubation with optimum dose was performed for 48 h (two times, 10?12 molar). In Group four, laser‐treated‐OVX‐BMMSCs were treated with optimum protocol of LLLT (one time, 1.2 J/cm2). In Group five (laser + OT group), the OT incubation plus the laser irradiation was performed. The biostimulatory effect of LLLT is demonstrated by a significant increase in the viability of OVX‐BMMSCs, cell cycle, and extracellular levels of Transforming growth factor beta (TGF‐β), insulin‐like growth factor‐I (IGF‐I), and Alkaline phosphatase (ALP) compared to control OVX‐BMMSCs and/or the sham group. OT incubation and laser + OT incubation have a positive effect on OVX‐BMMSCs. However, LLLT is more effective statistically. We conclude that LLLT significantly improved cell viability, enhanced the osteogenic potential of the OVX‐BMMSCs, and increased the extracellular levels of the TGF‐β, IGF‐I, and ALP. 相似文献

Leber congenital amaurosis (LCA) is a heterogeneous, early‐onset inherited retinal dystrophy, which is associated with severe visual impairment. We aimed to determine the disease‐causing variants in Iranian LCA and evaluate the clinical implications. Clinically, a possible LCA disease was found through diagnostic imaging, such as fundus photography, autofluorescence and optical coherence tomography. All affected patients showed typical eye symptoms associated with LCA including narrow arterioles, blindness, pigmentary changes and nystagmus. Target exome sequencing was performed to analyse the proband DNA. A homozygous novel c. 2889delT (p.P963 fs) mutation in the RPGRIP1 gene was identified, which was likely the deleterious and pathogenic mutation in the proband. Structurally, this mutation lost a retinitis pigmentosa GTPase regulator (RPGR)‐interacting domain at the C‐terminus which most likely impaired stability in the RPGRIP1 with the distribution of polarised proteins in the cilium connecting process. Sanger sequencing showed complete co‐segregation in this pedigree. This study provides compelling evidence that the c. 2889delT (p.P963 fs) mutation in the RPGRIP1 gene works as a pathogenic mutation that contributes to the progression of LCA. 相似文献

Liposomal formulation of curcumin is an important therapeutic agent for the treatment of various cancers. Despite extensive studies on the biological effects of this formulation in cancer treatment, much remains unknown about curcumin–liposome interactions. Understanding how different lipid bilayers respond to curcumin molecule may help us to design more effective liposomal curcumin. Here, we used molecular dynamics simulation method to investigate the behavior of curcumin in two lipid bilayers commonly used in preparation of liposomal curcumin, namely dipalmitoylphosphatidylcholine (DPPC) and dimyristoylphosphatidylglycerol (DMPG). First, the free energy barriers for translocation of one curcumin molecule from water to the lipid bilayer were determined by using the potential of mean force (PMF). The computed free energy profile exhibits a global minimum at the solvent–headgroup interface (LH region) for both lipid membranes. We also evaluated the free energy difference between the equilibrium position of curcumin in the lipid bilayer and bulk water as the excess chemical potential. Our results show that curcumin has the higher affinity in DMPG compared to DPPC lipid bilayer (?8.39 vs. ?1.69 kBT) and this is related to more hydrogen bond possibility for curcumin in DMPG lipid membrane. Next, using an unconstrained molecular dynamic simulation with curcumin initially positioned at the center of lipid bilayer, we studied various properties of each lipid bilayer system in the presence of curcumin molecule that was in full agreement with PMF and experimental data. The results of these simulation studies suggest that membrane composition could have a large effect on interaction of curcumin–lipid bilayer. 相似文献
