Cyclic heptapeptides from the soil-derived fungus Clonostachys rosea

Three new cyclic heptapeptides (1–3) together with three known compounds (4–6) were isolated from a solid rice culture of the soil-derived fungus Clonostachys rosea. Fermentation of the fungus on white beans instead of rice afforded a new γ-lactam (7) and a known γ-lactone (8) that were not detected in the former extracts. The structures of the new compounds were elucidated on the basis of 1D and 2D NMR spectra as well as by HRESIMS data. Compounds 1 and 4 exhibited significant cytotoxicity against the L5178Y mouse lymphoma cell line with IC₅₀ values of 4.1 and 0.1 µM, respectively. Compound 4 also displayed cytotoxicity against the A2780 human ovarian cancer cell line with an IC₅₀ value of 3.5 µM. The preliminary structure-activity relationships are discussed.     

长爪沙鼠肝细胞体外分离培养体系的建立

目的建立长爪沙鼠原代肝细胞分离培养体系。方法以雄性长爪沙鼠为供体,采用组织消化法和Seglen两步灌流法分离肝细胞,以台盼蓝染色检测细胞得率和活率,过碘酸-希夫氏反应(PAS)鉴定肝细胞,倒置显微镜观察肝细胞形态变化,并使用含有多种细胞因子的培养基维持培养。结果组织消化法和Seglen两步灌流法平均每只长爪沙鼠可分别获得肝细胞(1.33±0.34)×107个、(3.97±1.15)×107个,细胞活率分别为(29.4±6.05)%、(80.3±4.56)%,这两种方法在细胞得率及活率方面存在显著差异。肝细胞内因有大量的糖原颗粒,经PAS染色后被染成红色。结果表明肝细胞在贴壁后72 h内,肝细胞形态发生显著变化。结论采用胶原酶经肝门静脉灌流分离肝细胞是一种高效获得肝细胞的方法。各种细胞因子有利于维持肝细胞在体外的生长分化,长爪沙鼠原代肝细胞分离培养体系的建立将为肝脏相关疾病研究和防治药物的开发提供技术支持。

Recessive Mutations in COL25A1 Are a Cause of Congenital Cranial Dysinnervation Disorder

Abnormal ocular motility is a common clinical feature in congenital cranial dysinnervation disorder (CCDD). To date, eight genes related to neuronal development have been associated with different CCDD phenotypes. By using linkage analysis, candidate gene screening, and exome sequencing, we identified three mutations in collagen, type XXV, alpha 1 (COL25A1) in individuals with autosomal-recessive inheritance of CCDD ophthalmic phenotypes. These mutations affected either stability or levels of the protein. We further detected altered levels of sAPP (neuronal protein involved in axon guidance and synaptogenesis) and TUBB3 (encoded by TUBB3, which is mutated in CFEOM3) as a result of null mutations in COL25A1. Our data suggest that lack of COL25A1 might interfere with molecular pathways involved in oculomotor neuron development, leading to CCDD phenotypes.     

The role of exocytosis in the apocrine secretion of milk lipid globules in mouse mammary gland during lactogenesis.

Functional relations between exocytotic vesicle membranes, plasmalemma and milk fat globule membranes (MFGM) were studied during the final stages of mouse mammary gland differentiation, in the gland during full lactation and in the postpartum gland in which the synthesis of secretory products was partly inhibited by application of 2-Br-alpha-ergocryptine. Analysis of ultrathin sections, freeze-fracture replicas, scanning electron microscopy and application of a cytochemical marker filipin showed that the apocrine secretion of lipid globules was closely related to the exocytosis of milk proteins. During the last days of gestation the secretion of lipid globules resulted from many exocytotic events of the secretory vesicles that accumulated and fused around the cytoplasmic lipid droplets. Seldom the lipid droplet protruded partly into the gland lumen and a part of its surface became covered with the apical plasmalemma. Although apical plasmalemma became more important in the formation of MFGM in the postpartum period, we could still confirm a direct contribution of secretory vesicle membranes to the final detachment of the lipid globule. The application of 2-Br-alpha-ergocryptine hindered the apocrine secretion of the lipid globules and a situation similar to the situation in the prepartum gland was observed.     

Non-ionic Surfactant Based <Emphasis Type="Italic">In Situ</Emphasis> Forming Vesicles as Controlled Parenteral Delivery Systems

Non-ionic surfactant (NIS) based in situ forming vesicles (ISVs) present an affordable alternative to the traditional systems for the parenteral control of drug release. In this work, NIS based ISVs encapsulating tenoxicam were prepared using the emulsion method. Tenoxicam-loaded ISVs were prepared using a 2².3¹ full factorial experimental design, where three factors were evaluated as independent variables; type of NIS (A), molar ratio of NIS to Tween®80 (B), and phase ratio of the internal ethyl acetate to the external Captex® oil phase (C). Percentage drug released after 1 h, particle size of the obtained vesicles and mean dissolution time were chosen as the dependent variables. Selected formulation was subjected to morphological investigation, injectability, viscosity measurements, and solid state characterization. Optimum formulation showed spherical nano-vesicles in the size of 379.08 nm with an initial drug release of 37.32% in the first hour followed by a sustained drug release pattern for 6 days. DSC analysis of the optimized formulation confirmed the presence of the drug in an amorphous form with the nano-vesicles. Biological evaluation of the selected formulation was performed on New Zealand rabbits by IM injection. The prepared ISVs exhibited a 45- and 28-fold larger AUC and MRT values, respectively, compared to those of the drug suspension. The obtained findings boost the use of ISVs for the treatment of many chronic inflammatory conditions.
