Pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDAC) is an incidence rate nearly equal to its mortality rate. The poor prognosis of the disease can be explained by the absence of effective biomarkers for screening and early detection, together with the aggressive behavior and resistance to the currently available chemotherapy. The therapeutic failure can also be attributed to the inter-/intratumor genetic heterogeneity and the abundance of tumor stroma that occupies the majority of the tumor mass. Gemcitabine is used in the treatment of PDAC; however, the response rate is less than 12%. A recent phase III trial revealed that the combination of oxaliplatin, irinotecan, fluorouracil, and leucovorin could be an option for the treatment of metastatic PDAC patients with good performance status, although these approaches can result in high toxicity level. Further investigations are required to develop innovative anticancer agents that either improve gemcitabine activity, within novel combinatorial approaches or acts with a better efficacy than gemcitabine. The aim of the current review is to give an overview of preclinical and clinical studies targeting key dysregulated signaling pathways in PDAC.  相似文献

BACKGROUND: Rational design of gene vectors for therapeutic applications requires understanding of transfection mechanisms. In this study, multiple transfection assays revealed complementary mechanisms between two commonly used transfection agents. This finding was then exploited to produce improved transfection outcomes. METHODS AND RESULTS: Rat C6 glial cells, adult rat hippocampal progenitor cells and primary astrocytes were transfected using Lipofectamine (LA) or polyethylenimine (PEI), in vitro. Although LA- and PEI-transfected populations expressed the same total level of transgene product, LA transfected considerably more cells than PEI (approximately 20 vs. 14%). A fluorescently labelled plasmid and time-course analysis, involving both flow cytometry and confocal microscopy, were used to explain this apparent discrepancy. Results showed that LA delivered more plasmid DNA to the cytoplasm and achieved transgene expression in more cells than PEI. In contrast, PEI transfected fewer cells but, on average, produced more transgene product per transfected cell. CONCLUSIONS: A comparative transfection model was developed to explain these different characteristics. According to this model, transfection is a multistage process with different transfection agents exerting their primary effect at different stages in this process. This model forecast that it should be possible to prepare a chimeric complex with a transfection efficiency that exceeded that achievable with Lipofectamine or polyethylenimine alone. This prediction was tested and shown to hold for glioma cells, primary astrocytes, and adult neural stems cells.  相似文献

This study was designed to test the hypothesis that endogenous estrogens decrease the expression of endothelial nitric oxide synthase (eNOS) in resistance-size bone arterioles, thereby reducing endothelium-dependent vasodilator function. Sexually mature female rats were ovariectomized to reduce endogenous estrogens. Age-matched female rats served as controls. Seven to ten days after ovariectomy, bone marrow tissue was collected from the femoral canal. Immuno-histochemistry was performed to detect expression of estrogen receptors, alpha and beta and eNOS. eNOS protein content in medullary bone arterioles was compared using Western blot analysis. Endothelial cell function was assessed by quantitating the dilation of isolated, pressurized bone arterioles in response to acetylcholine. The results indicate that the endothelium of bone arterioles from ovariectomized and control rats express ER-alpha, ER-beta and eNOS. eNOS protein content in the two groups of arterioles did not differ. However, the baseline diameter of arterioles from ovariectomized rats (63+/-4 microm) was significantly smaller than the diameter of arterioles from control rats (75+/-3 microm, p<0.05). The two groups of arterioles dilated equally in response to acetylcholine. L-NAME, an inhibitor of eNOS, almost completely abolished the dilator responses to acetylcholine, but not to sodium nitroprusside. L-Arginine restored acetylcholine-induced dilation after L-NAME treatment. Thus, arteriole dilation to acetylcholine appears to be mediated almost exclusively by NO. The smaller diameter of arterioles from ovariectomized rats suggests that endogenous estrogens exert a significant dilator influence on bone arterioles. However, the dilator influence does not appear to be mediated by an increase in eNOS expression or enhanced NO-dependent vasodilation. These results indicate that estrogens do not decrease eNOS expression or diminish NO-mediated dilation of bone medullary arterioles.  相似文献

The main determinant of pathogenicity in Ustilago maydis is the b-mating locus, where establishment of heterozygosity is sufficient to cause galls/tumors on maize plants. However, matings between haploids where one partner contains a mutation, in e.g., the smu1 gene, encoding a Ste20-like PAK kinase, often show reduced mating and pathogenicity compared to wild type. Here we show that similarly, diploids lacking one copy of smu1, are reduced in production of aerial hyphae, but do not show significantly-reduced virulence. Haplo-insufficiency was also observed for additional genes. UmPde1 is a cyclic phosphodiesterase involved in cAMP turnover as part of the cAMP-dependent PKA pathway. Hsl7 plays a role in cell length and in the filamentous response to low ammonium in haploid cells. Diploids deleted for one copy of either the pde1 or hsl7 genes had reduced or increased production of aerial hyphae, respectively, and both were severely impaired in virulence compared to wild type diploids. rho1 and pdc1 are two genes essential for cell viability in haploids. These genes also displayed haplo-insufficiency for pathogenesis. rho1/Δrho1 diploid cells were defective in pheromone production and detection, aerial hyphae induction, and were avirulent. In contrast, pdc1/Δpdc1 diploid cells only failed to produce tumors when applied to maize whorls. We predict the haplo-insufficiency of most of these signaling components is due to stoichiometric imbalance of the respective gene products with their interacting partners, thereby impairing virulence-induction mechanism(s). Further investigation of the bases for such haplo-insufficiency as well as of additional genes displaying this phenotype will provide important insights into fundamental aspects of development in this organism as well as inter-nuclear communication and genetic control.  相似文献

This study was conducted to evaluate and compare the effectiveness of two organic amendments [poultry manure (PM) and poultry manure biochar (PMB)] for the degradation of petroleum hydrocarbons in contaminated soils by barley plant at three levels of total petroleum hydrocarbons (TPHs) during 5 months under greenhouse conditions. TPHs removal efficiency and microbial respiration were shown to be higher at soil-cultivated plant than at uncultivated soil and in lowest level of contamination rather than other levels of contamination and at organic amendment treatment than unamended soil. Soil microbial respiration and TPHs degradation in the rhizosphere of barley increased by 15.64 and 12.74% for PM-amended treatment and 28.07 and 26.83% for PMB-amended treatment, respectively, in the 4% TPHs level compared with unamended treatment. Comparison of two amendments showed that in PMB treatment soil, highest dry weight, microbial respiration, and TPHs degradation potential were observed.  相似文献

Background

Small for gestational age (SGA) has high frequency which increases the risk of long-term adverse outcomes. Thus the aim of this study was to evaluate peak systolic velocity Doppler of middle cerebral artery (MCA) in SGA fetus in order to find appropriate method to diagnosis SGA sooner.

Materials and Methods

This prospective longitudinal study was conducted on 90 pregnant women with a diagnosis of SGA fetus and 90 pregnant women with normal fetus. Then MCA and umbilical artery assessment were performed for all subjects and compared between two groups.

Results

Doppler assessment showed that umbilical artery PI was significantly higher in SGA group as compared to normal group (1.11±0.37 vs 0.98±0.18, P = 0.003), while MCA PI was significantly lower in SGA group (1.77±0.44 vs 1.92±0.47, P = 0.028). On the other hand, PSV did not differ between the groups (P = 0.592). Moreover, we found that PSV was more in SGA group by grouping maternal age (<27 years) (P = 0.006), and gestational age (>34 weeks) (P<0.001).

Conclusion

The results of this study suggest that MCA PI decreased significantly in SGA fetuses, while UA PI increased in this group. Moreover, PSV increased in this group when evaluated in different subgroups (based on maternal age and gestational age).

Multiple sclerosis (MS) is a chronic inflammatory disease affecting the central nervous system (CNS). Despite introducing multiple immunomodulatory approaches for MS, there are still major concerns about possible ways for improving remyelination in this disease. Microglia exert essential roles in regulation of myelination processes, and interaction between colony-stimulating factor 1 (CSF1) with its receptor CSF1R is considered as a key regulator of microglial differentiation and survival. The aim of this study was to investigate possible roles for a CSF1R inhibitor PLX3397 in recovery of central myelination processes. Chronic demyelination was induced in mice by addition of 0.2% cuprizone to the chow for 12 weeks. Next, animals were undergoing a diet containing 290 mg/kg PLX3397 to induce microglial ablation. The PLX3397 treatment caused a significant decrease in the rate of expression for the CSF1/CSF1R axis, and a reduction in the protein expressions for the microglial marker Iba-1 and for the oligodendrocyte marker Olig-2. Findings from Luxol fast blue (LFB) staining and transmission electron microscopy (TEM) showed an increase in the rate of myelination for the mice receiving PLX3397. The rate of destruction in the nerve fibers and the extent of the gaps formed between layers of myelin sheaths was also reduced after the treatment with PLX3397. In addition, animals experienced an improvement in recovery of motor deficit after receiving PLX3397 (for all P < 0.05). It could be concluded that PLX3397 could retain myelination in the MS model possibly through regulation of the myelin environment.  相似文献

Cancer as a multifactorial and smart disease is now considered a challenging problem. Despite many investigations on drug discovery, it remains incurable, in part, due to insufficient understanding of its special mechanisms. For the first time, we collaterally investigated the effect of acidosis on the contribution of apoptosis, necrosis, and autophagy in MDA-MB 231 cells. Our data showed that necrosis, apoptosis, and intracellular reactive oxygen species production drastically decreased from 48 to 72 hr while cell viability and autophagy increased along with a gap between the percentages. Eventually, the decrease of necrosis and apoptosis was related to upregulation of nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide phosphate (NADPH) oxidase and fatty acid synthetase, respectively. It seems that at the early stage of cancer progression, apoptosis is the main mechanism of cell mortality and afterward autophagy would be the main mechanism of cell survival. Therefore, at the acute phase of cancer, apoptotic inducer medications would be effective while at the chronic phase of cancer progression, autophagy inhibitor medication would be added as well. This eventually means that autophagy acts as both cell death and survival mechanisms at the onset of cancer progression with the approach towards cell survival. Besides other unknown cell survival mechanisms are involved in cell viability, except for apoptosis and necrosis inhibition and autophagy improvement. This study reiterates the inefficaciousness of autophagy inhibitor's medication at the onset of disease. It also emphasizes discovering other cell death mechanisms for cancer cell adaptation at the onset of disease with the aim of their targeting in cancer invasion therapy.  相似文献
