Despite the widespread clinical use of cyclooxygenase (COX) inhibitors, dilemmas still exist about potential impact of these drugs on cardiovascular system. The present study was aimed to estimate the effects of different COX inhibitors (meloxicam, acetylsalicylic acid [ASA], and SC-560) on oxidative stress in isolated rat heart, with special focus on l-arginine/NO system. The hearts of male Wistar albino rats (total number n = 96, each group 12 rats, 8 weeks old, body mass 180–200 g) were retrogradely perfused according to the Langendorff technique at gradually increased perfusion pressure (40–120 cmH2O). After control experiments the hearts were perfused with the following drugs: 100 μmol/l ASA (Aspirin), alone or in combination with 30 μmol/l l-NAME, 0.3 μmol/l meloxicam (movalis) with or without 30 μmol/l l-NAME, 3 μmol/l meloxicam (alone or in combination with 30 μmol/l l-NAME), 30 μmol/l l-NAME, and administration of 0.25 μmol/l SC-560. In samples of coronary venous effluent the following oxidative stress markers were measured spectrophotometrically: index of lipid peroxidation (measured as thiobarbituric acid reactive substances [TBARS]), superoxide anion radical release (O2 ?), and hydrogen peroxide (H2O2). While ASA was found to have an adverse influence on redox balance in coronary circulation, and coronary perfusion, meloxicam and SC-560 do not negatively affect the intact model of the heart. Furthermore, all effects were modulated by NOS inhibition. It seems that interaction between COX and l-arginine/NO system truly exists in coronary circulation, and can be one of the possible causes for achieved effects. That means: those effects induced by different inhibitors of COX are modulated by subsequent inhibition of NOS. 相似文献

In response to starvation Myxococcus xanthus initiates a developmental program that culminates in fruiting body formation. There are two morphogenetic events in this program, aggregation and sporulation, which are temporally and spatially coordinated by the contact-dependent intercellular C-signal protein (p17). p17 is generated by proteolytic cleavage of the p25 precursor protein, which accumulates in the outer membrane of vegetative and starving cells. However, p17 generation is restricted to starving cells. Here we identify the subtilisin-like protease PopC that is directly responsible for cleavage of p25. PopC accumulates in the cytoplasm of vegetative cells but is selectively secreted during starvation coinciding with the generation of p17. Consequently, p25 and PopC only encounter each other in starving cells. Thus, restriction of p25 cleavage to starving cells occurs by a compartmentalization mechanism that depends on selective secretion of PopC during starvation. Our results provide evidence for regulated proteolysis via regulated secretion. 相似文献

Toll-like receptor 4 (TLR4) activation is a key contributor to the carcinogenesis of colon cancer. Overexpression of galectin-1 (Gal-1) also correlates with increased invasive activity of colorectal cancer. Lactate production is a critical predictive factor of risk of metastasis, but the functional relationship between intracellular lactate and Gal-1 expression in TLR4-activated colon cancer remains unknown. In this study, we investigated the underlying mechanism and role of Gal-1 in metastasis and invasion of colorectal cancer (CRC) cells after TLR4 stimulation. Exposure to the TLR4 ligand lipopolysaccharide (LPS) increased expression of Gal-1, induced EMT-related cytokines, triggered the activation of glycolysis-related enzymes, and promoted lactate production. Gene silencing of TLR4 and Gal-1 in CRC cells inhibited lactate-mediated epithelial-mesenchymal transition (EMT) after TLR4 stimulation. Gal-1-mediated activation of a disintegrin and metalloproteinase 10 (ADAM10) and ADAM 17 increased the invasion activity and expression of mesenchymal characteristics in LPS-activated CRC cells. Conversely, inhibition of ADAM10 or ADAM17 effectively blocked the generation of lactate and the migration capacity of LPS-treated CRC cells. Thus, the TLR4/Gal-1 signaling pathway regulates lactate-mediated EMT processes through the activation of ADAM10 and ADAM17 in CRC cells. 相似文献

The aim of this study was to assess the changes of coronary flow (CF) and nitrite outflow under inhibition of nitric oxide synthase (NOS) by Nomega-nitro-L-arginine monomethyl ester (L-NAME) or lipoxygenase (LOX) induced by nordihydroguaiaretic acid (NDGA) in isolated rat heart. The hearts of male Wistar albino rats (n=18, age 8 weeks, body mass 180-200 g) were retrograde perfused according to the Langendorff's technique at gradually increased constant coronary perfusion pressure (CPP) conditions (40-120 cm H2O) which induced flow-dependent nitric oxide (NO) release (nitrite outflow). The experiments were performed during control conditions, in the presence of NO synthesis inhibitor L-NAME (30 micromol/l) or nonspecific LOX inhibitor (NDGA, 0.1 mmol/l) which were administered separately or in combination. CF varied in autoregulatory range from 4.12+/-0.26 ml/min/g wt at 50 cm H2O to 5.22+/-0.26 ml/min/g wt at 90 cm H2O. In autoregulatory range, nitrite outflow varied from 2.05+/-0.17 nmol/min/g wt at 50 cm H2O to 2.52+/-0.21 nmol/min/g wt at 90 cm H2O and was strictly parallel with CPP/CF curve. The autoregulatory range of CF was significantly extended (40-100 cm H2O, 2.22+/-0.12 ml/min/g wt and 2.90+/-0.25 ml/min/g wt, respectively) under the influence of L-NAME. Hemodynamic effects were accompanied by significant decrease in nitrite outflow after L-NAME administration (0.56+/-0.11 nmol/min/g wt at 40 cm H2O to 1.45+/-0.14 nmol/min/g wt at 100 cm H2O). NDGA affected CF in the range of CPP 40-70 cm H2O only (from 42% at 50 cm H2O to 12% at 90 cm H2O, respectively) with no significant changes in nitrite outflow. When L-NAME was applied in combination with NDGA vs. NDGA only, CF was significantly reduced (from 34% at 50 cm H2O to 50% at 90 cm H2O, respectively) with parallel changes in nitrite outflow (from 40% at 50 cm H2O to 51% at 90 cm H2O, respectively). The results showed that CF and nitrite outflow could be decreased under L-NAME administration. Nonselective LOX inhibitor (NDGA) decreased control values of CF only at lower values of CPP but did not change nitrite outflow indicating antioxidant properties of NDGA. In addition, L-NAME decreased the effects induced by NDGA on CF and nitrite outflow indicating the role of NO. 相似文献

A new paradigm, like Systems Biology, should challenge the way research has been conducted previously. This Opinion article aims to present Systems Biology, not as the application of engineering principles to biology but as a merger of systems- and control theory with molecular- and cell biology. In our view, the central dogma of Systems Biology is that it is system dynamics that gives rise to the functioning and function of cells. The concepts of feedback regulation and control of pathways and the coordination of cell function are emphasized as an important area of Systems Biology research. The hurdles and risks for this area are discussed from the perspective of dynamic pathway modelling. Most of all, the aim of this article is to promote mathematical modelling and simulation as a part of molecular- and cell biology. Systems Biology is a success if it is widely accepted that there is nothing more practical than a good theory. 相似文献

Eukaryotic ribosomal proteins are required for production of stable ribosome assembly intermediates and mature ribosomes, but more specific roles for these proteins in biogenesis of ribosomes are not known. Here we demonstrate a particular function for yeast ribosomal protein rpS14 in late steps of 40S ribosomal subunit maturation and pre-rRNA processing. Extraordinary amounts of 43S preribosomes containing 20S pre-rRNA accumulate in the cytoplasm of certain rps14 mutants. These mutations not only reveal a more precise function for rpS14 in ribosome biogenesis but also uncover a role in ribosome assembly for the extended tails found in many ribosomal proteins. These studies are one of the first to relate the structure of eukaryotic ribosomes to their assembly pathway-the carboxy-terminal extension of rpS14 is located in the 40S subunit near the 3' end of 18S rRNA, consistent with a role for rpS14 in 3' end processing of 20S pre-rRNA. 相似文献

The Saccharomyces cerevisiae gene RRP1 encodes an essential, evolutionarily conserved protein necessary for biogenesis of 60S ribosomal subunits. Processing of 27S pre-ribosomal RNA to mature 25S rRNA is blocked and 60S subunits are deficient in the temperature-sensitive rrp1-1 mutant. We have used recent advances in proteomic analysis to examine in more detail the function of Rrp1p in ribosome biogenesis. We show that Rrp1p is a nucleolar protein associated with several distinct 66S pre-ribosomal particles. These pre-ribosomes contain ribosomal proteins plus at least 28 nonribosomal proteins necessary for production of 60S ribosomal subunits. Inactivation of Rrp1p inhibits processing of 27SA(3) to 27SB(S) pre-rRNA and of 27SB pre-rRNA to 7S plus 25.5S pre-rRNA. Thus, in the rrp1-1 mutant, 66S pre-ribosomal particles accumulate that contain 27SA(3) and 27SB(L) pre-ribosomal RNAs. 相似文献
