Mesenchymal stem cell(MSC)therapy is entering a challenging phase after completion of many preclinical and clinical trials.Among the major hurdles encountered in MSC therapy are inconsistent stem cell potency,poor cell engraftment and survival,and age/disease-related host tissue impairment.The recognition that MSCs primarily mediate therapeutic benefits through paracrine mechanisms independent of cell differentiation provides a promising framework for enhancing stem cell potency and therapeutic benefits.Several MSC priming approaches are highlighted,which will likely allow us to harness the full potential of adult stem cells for their future routine clinical use. 相似文献

The assessment of redox status is most frequently performed by measuring redox biomarkers. The spectrophotometer is the most commonly used analytical instrument in biochemistry. There is a huge number of spectrophotometric redox biomarkers and assays, thus distinguishing the most appropriate biomarkers and protocols is overwhelming. The aim of the present review is to propose valid and reliable spectrophotometric assays for measuring redox biomarkers in blood. It is hoped that this work will help researchers to select the most suitable redox biomarkers and assays. 相似文献

Systematic investigation of low molecular weight proteins (LMW, below 20 kDa) in the archaeon Halobacterium salinarum resulted in a 6-fold enhancement of the identification rate, reaching 35% of the theoretical proteome in that size range. This was achieved by optimization of common protocols for protein analysis with general applicability. LMW proteins were rapidly and effectively enriched by filter membrane centrifugation followed by tricine SDS-PAGE. Without staining and with significantly shortened digestion protocols, LMW proteins were identified using an FT-ICR mass spectrometer which allows reliable protein identification by MS3 of a single peptide. In addition to a series of technical challenges, small proteins may show low gene expression levels as suggested by their low average codon adaptation index. Twenty functionally uncharacterized proteins contain a characteristic DNA/RNA binding zinc finger motif which underlines the biological relevance of the small proteome and the necessity of their analysis for systems biology. 相似文献

Pancreatic carcinoma (PC) is a cancer type with highly malignant growth and dissemination pattern of which the mechanisms are poorly understood. However, the malignant phenotype is closely linked to extracellular matrix (ECM) of which proteoglycans (PGs) and hyaluronan (HA) play a crucial role in the control of tumor progression and metastasis. In this study, we demonstrated that versican and decorin, two different PGs with contradictory roles and functions in the pathobiology of cancer, were the main matrix PGs in PC presenting a great increase 27- and 7-fold, respectively, in comparison to normal pancreas (NP). PC was characterized by the disproportional increase of versican compared to decorin, about 4 to 1, with a concurrent increase of HA, which may be closely associated with the growth and aggressiveness of this carcinoma. Significant specific post-translational modifications were also observed in both versican and decorin regarding the type, hydrodynamic size, sulfation pattern and extent of uronate epimerization of their glycosaminoglycan chains (GAGs). In particular, chondroitin sulphate (CS) was the predominant GAG type in both PC-associated versican and decorin. The CS of PC-decorin was increased 11-fold, compared to NP in which dermatan sulfate (DS) was the predominant GAG type in both PGs. The sulfation pattern of GAG chains was significantly altered in PC, since 6-sulfated disaccharides predominated in both versican and decorin with a marked presence of non-sulfated disaccharides accompanied by lower hydrodynamic sizes of both CS and DS chains compared to NP. In conclusion, all these findings agree with the highly malignant phenotype of this cancer and, thus, more studies need to be addressed on the roles of the post-translational modifications of versican and decorin in the biology of cancer. 相似文献

Using first principles of fluid and solid mechanics a comprehensive model of human intracranial dynamics is proposed. Blood,
cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) and brain parenchyma as well as the spinal canal are included. The compartmental model predicts
intracranial pressure gradients, blood and CSF flows and displacements in normal and pathological conditions like communicating
hydrocephalus. The system of differential equations of first principles conservation balances is discretized and solved numerically.
Fluid–solid interactions of the brain parenchyma with cerebral blood and CSF are calculated. The model provides the transitions
from normal dynamics to the diseased state during the onset of communicating hydrocephalus. Predicted results were compared
with physiological data from Cine phase-contrast magnetic resonance imaging to verify the dynamic model. Bolus injections
into the CSF are simulated in the model and found to agree with clinical measurements.

This study investigated whether selected oxidative stress markers measured in blood adequately reflect redox status in skeletal muscle, heart, and liver. Several markers were determined after implementing two treatments known to affect redox status, namely exercise and allopurinol administration. Xanthine oxidase, thiobarbituric acid-reactive substances (TBARS), protein carbonyls (PC), reduced glutathione (GSH), oxidized glutathione (GSSG), catalase, and total antioxidant capacity were determined in blood, skeletal muscle, heart, and liver. Correlation between blood and tissues in each marker was performed through the Spearman rank correlation coefficient. GSSG in erythrocytes was correlated with all tissues, ranging in the five experimental groups as follows: skeletal muscle rs = 0.656–0.874, heart rs = 0.742–0.981, liver rs = 0.646–0.855. Xanthine oxidase and TBARS measured in blood satisfactorily described the redox status of the heart (0.753–0.964 and 0.705–1.000, respectively) and liver (0.755–0.902 and 0.656–1.000, respectively). Skeletal muscle and heart redox status can be adequately described by PC (0.652–1.000 and 0.656–0.964, respectively), GSH (0.693–1.000 and 0.656–1.000, respectively), and catalase (0.745–1.000 and 0.656–1.000, respectively) measured in blood. In conclusion, this study suggests that a combination of markers measured in blood provides a reliable indication about the redox status in skeletal muscle, heart, and liver. 相似文献

Cardamine hirsuta, a small crucifer closely related to the model organism Arabidopsis thaliana, offers high genetic tractability and has emerged as a powerful system for studying the genetic basis for diversification
of plant form. Contrary to A. thaliana, which has simple leaves, C. hirsuta produces dissected leaves divided into individual units called leaflets. Leaflet formation requires activity of Class I KNOTTED1-like
homeodomain (KNOX) proteins, which also promote function of the shoot apical meristem (SAM). In C. hirsuta, KNOX genes are expressed in the leaves whereas in A. thaliana their expression is confined to the SAM, and differences in expression arise through cis-regulatory divergence of KNOX regulation.
KNOX activity in C. hirsuta leaves delays the transition from proliferative growth to differentiation thus facilitating the generation of lateral growth
axes that give rise to leaflets. These axes reflect the sequential generation of cell division foci across the leaf proximodistal
axis in response to auxin activity maxima, which are generated by the PINFORMED1 (PIN1) auxin efflux carriers in a process
that resembles organogenesis at the SAM. Delimitation of C. hirsuta leaflets also requires the activity of CUP
SHAPED
COTYLEDON (CUC) genes, which direct formation of organ boundaries at the SAM. These observations show how species-specific deployment of
fundamental shoot development networks may have sculpted simple versus dissected leaf forms. These studies also illustrate
how extending developmental genetic studies to morphologically divergent relatives of model organisms can greatly help elucidate
the mechanisms underlying the evolution of form. 相似文献
