The bioartificial pancreas encapsulating pancreatic islets in immunoprotective hydrogel is a promising therapy for Type 1 diabetes. As pancreatic islets are highly metabolically active and exquisitely sensitive to hypoxia, maintaining O2 supply after transplantation remains a major challenge. In this study, we address the O2 limitation by combining silicone-encapsulated CaO2 (silicone-CaO2) to generate O2 with an extracellular hemoglobin O2-carrier coencapsulated with islets. We showed that the hemoglobin improved by 37% the O2-diffusivity through an alginate hydrogel and displayed antioxidant properties neutralizing deleterious reactive O2 species produced by silicone-CaO2. While the hemoglobin alone failed to maintain alginate macroencapsulated neonate pig islets under hypoxia, silicone-CaO2 alone or combined to the hemoglobin restored islet viability and insulin secretion and prevented proinflammatory metabolism (PTGS2 expression). Interestingly, the combination took the advantages of the two individual strategies, improved neonate pig islet viability and insulin secretion in normoxia, and VEGF secretion and PDK1 normalization in hypoxia. Moreover, we confirmed the specific benefits of the combination compared to silicone-CaO2 alone on murine pseudo-islet viability in normoxia and hypoxia. For the first time, our results show the interest of combining an O2 provider with hemoglobin as an effective strategy to overcome O2 limitations in tissue engineering. 相似文献

Soil invertebrates are known to be much involved in soil behaviour and therefore in the provision of ecosystem services. Functional trait-based approaches are methodologies which can be used to understand soil invertebrates’ responses to their environment. They (i) improve the predictions and (ii) are less dependent on space and time. The way traits have been used recently has led to misunderstandings in the integration and interpretation of data. Trait semantics are especially concerned. The aim of this paper is to propose a thesaurus for soil invertebrate trait-based approaches. T-SITA, an Internet platform, is the first initiative to deal with the semantics of traits and ecological preferences for soil invertebrates. It reflects the agreement of a scientific expert community to fix semantic properties (e.g. definition) of approximately 100 traits and ecological preferences. In addition, T-SITA has been successfully linked with a fully operational database of soil invertebrate traits. Such a link enhances data integration and improves the scientific integrity of data. 相似文献

The aim of this study was first to identify lysozymes paralogs in the deep sea mussel Bathymodiolus azoricus then to measure their relative expression or activity in different tissue or conditions. B. azoricus is a bivalve that lives close to hydrothermal chimney in the Mid-Atlantic Ridge (MAR). They harbour in specialized gill cells two types of endosymbiont (gram—bacteria): sulphide oxidizing bacteria (SOX) and methanotrophic bacteria (MOX). This association is thought to be ruled by specific mechanism or actors of regulation to deal with the presence of symbiont but these mechanisms are still poorly understood. Here, we focused on the implication of lysozyme, a bactericidal enzyme, in this endosymbiosis. The relative expression of Ba-lysozymes paralogs and the global anti-microbial activity, were measured in natural population (Lucky Strike -1700m, Mid-Atlantic Ridge), and in in situ experimental conditions. B. azoricus individuals were moved away from the hydrothermal fluid to induce a loss of symbiont. Then after 6 days some mussels were brought back to the mussel bed to induce a re-acquisition of symbiotic bacteria. Results show the presence of 6 paralogs in B. azoricus. In absence of symbionts, 3 paralogs are up-regulated while others are not differentially expressed. Moreover the global activity of lysozyme is increasing with the loss of symbiont. All together these results suggest that lysozyme may play a crucial role in symbiont regulation. 相似文献

Reticulitermes urbis is a recently described termite species that has probably been introduced into Western Europe where it has been found exclusively
in urban areas. However, little is known about the geographic distribution and origin of R. urbis. This study was undertaken to determine whether this species was introduced from the Balkans. A parsimony network did not
show any association between mtDNA haplotypes and geographic regions suggesting that western European populations were the
result of human-mediated dispersion. Variation patterns of the COI and COII regions as well as microsatellites showed that
the genetic diversity of Western European colonies was lower than for colonies collected in the Balkans, suggesting that the
introduced populations suffered from a founder effect. As observed in the introduced populations of R. flavipes, all colonies of R. urbis had an extended-family structure with several reproductives. These results support the scenario that this termite was introduced
into Western Europe. 相似文献

Betaine is the substrate of the liver- and kidney-specific betaine-homocysteine (Hcy) methyltransferase (BHMT), an alternate pathway for Hcy remethylation. We hypothesized that BHMT is a major pathway for homocysteine removal in cases of hyperhomocysteinaemia (HHcy). Therefore, we measured betaine in plasma and tissues from patients and animal models of HHcy of genetic and acquired cause. Plasma was collected from patients presenting HHcy without any Hcy interfering treatment. Plasma and tissues were collected from rat models of HHcy induced by diet and from a mouse model of cystathionine β-synthase (CBS) deficiency. S-adenosyl-methionine (AdoMet), S-adenosyl-homocysteine (AdoHcy), methionine, betaine and dimethylglycine (DMG) were quantified by ESI—LC–MS/MS. mRNA expression was quantified using quantitative real-time (QRT)-PCR. For all patients with diverse causes of HHcy, plasma betaine concentrations were below the normal values of our laboratory. In the diet-induced HHcy rat model, betaine was decreased in all tissues analysed (liver, brain, heart). In the mouse CBS deficiency model, betaine was decreased in plasma, liver, heart and brain, but was conserved in kidney. Surprisingly, BHMT expression and activity was decreased in liver. However, in kidney, BHMT and SLC6A12 expression was increased in CBS-deficient mice. Chronic HHcy, irrespective of its cause, induces betaine depletion in plasma and tissues (liver, brain and heart), indicating a global decrease in the body betaine pool. In kidney, betaine concentrations were not affected, possibly due to overexpression of the betaine transporter SLC6A12 where betaine may be conserved because of its crucial role as an osmolyte. 相似文献

The measurement of urine sialic acid (N Acetylneuraminic Acid: Neu5Ac) is useful for screening sialic acid storage disorders. We developed a new LC MS/MS method for the determination of a sialic acid. Urine samples were analyzed, after an HCl n-Butanol derivatization step, by a reverse phase based high-performance liquid chromatography method using 1,2,3-(13)C(3) N-Acetyl-D-neuraminic Acid ((13)C-Neu5Ac) as an internal standard. Selective detection was performed by tandem mass spectrometry using an electrospray source operating in positive ionization mode employing multiple reactions monitoring to monitor N-Acetylneuraminic Acid and the internal standard. The transitions m/z 366→330 and 369→333 for Neu5Ac and (13)C-Neu5Ac were respectively monitored. The limit of the method quantification was 1.40 μM of N-Acetylneuraminic Acid and the calibration curve showed a good linearity up to 1000 μM. The within assay precision and accuracy of the method ranged from 3.22 to 5.95% and 98.69 to 109.18%, respectively and the between assay precision and accuracy ranged, respectively, from 5.15 to 7.65% and 96.14 to 102.30%. The method can be applied for the determination of N-Acetylneuraminic Acid concentrations in urine and other biological fluids (e.g., amniotic and peritoneal fluids). 相似文献

A new high-performance liquid chromatograhic procedure for simultaneous determination of pyrazinamide (PZA) and its three metabolites 5-hydroxypyrazinamide (5-OH-PZA), pyrazinoic acid (PA), and 5-hydroxypyrazinoic acid (5-OH-PA), in rat urine was developed. 5-OH-PZA and 5-OH-PA standards were obtained by enzymatic synthesis (xanthine oxidase) and checked by HPLC and GC–MS. Chromatographic separation was achieved in 0.01 M KH2PO4 (pH 5.2), circulating at 0.9 ml/min, on a C18 silica column, at 22°C. The limits of detection were 300 μg/l for PZA, 125 μg/l for PA, 90 μg/l for 5-OH-PZA and 70 μg/l for 5-OH-PA. Good linearity (r2>0.99) was observed within the calibration ranges studied: 0.375–7.50 mg/l for PZA, 0.416–3.33 mg/l for PA, 0.830–6.64 mg/l for 5-OH-PZA and 2.83–22.6 mg/l for 5-OHPA. Accuracy was always lower than ±10.8%. Precision was in the range 0.33–5.7%. The method will constitute a useful tool for studies on the influence of drug interactions in tuberculosis treatment. 相似文献

Accumulation of S-adenosylhomocysteine (AdoHcy), the homocysteine (Hcy) precursor and a potent methyltransferase inhibitor, may mediate the neurological and vascular complications associated with elevated Hcy. Protein arginine methylation is a crucial post-translational modification and generates monomethylarginine (MMA) and dimethylarginine (asymmetric, ADMA, and symmetric, SDMA) residues. We aimed at determining whether protein arginine methylation status is disturbed in an animal model of diet-induced hyperhomocysteinemia (HHcy). HHcy was achieved by dietary manipulation of Wistar rats: methionine-enrichment (HM), B vitamins deficiency (LV), or both (HMLV). Total Hcy, S-adenosylmethionine (AdoMet), AdoHcy, MMA, ADMA and SDMA concentrations in plasma or tissues (heart, brain and liver) were determined by adequate high-performance liquid chromatography or liquid chromatography-electrospray ionization-tandem mass spectrometry methods. Moreover, in tissues from the HMLV group, histone arginine asymmetric dimethylation was evaluated by Western blotting, and the histone methylation marks H3R17me2a, H3R8me2a and H4R3me2a were studied. HHcy was induced by all special diets, with elevation of AdoHcy concentrations in liver (LV and HMLV) and heart (HMLV) (all versus control). Plasma ADMA levels were lower in all hyperhomocysteinemic animals. Protein-incorporated ADMA levels were decreased in brain and in heart (both for the LV and HMLV groups). Moreover, in brain of animals exposed to the HMLV diet, the H3R8me2a mark was profoundly decreased. In conclusion, our results show that diet-induced Hcy elevation disturbs global protein arginine methylation in a tissue-specific manner and affects histone arginine methylation in brain. Future research is warranted to disclose the functional implications of the global protein and histone arginine hypomethylation triggered by Hcy elevation. 相似文献
