Duringventilatory acclimatization to hypoxia (VAH), the relationship betweenventilation (E) and end-tidalPCO2 (PETCO2) changes.This study was designed to determine 1) whether these changes can be seenearly in VAH and 2) if these changesare present, whether the responses differ between isocapnic andpoikilocapnic exposures. Ten healthy volunteers were studied by usingthree 8-h exposures: 1) isocapnichypoxia (IH), end-tidal PO2(PETO2) = 55 Torr andPETCO2 held at thesubject's normal prehypoxic value;2) poikilocapnic hypoxia (PH),PETO2 = 55 Torr; and3) control (C), air breathing. TheE-PETCO2relationship was determined in hyperoxia (PETO2 = 200 Torr) beforeand after the exposures. We found a significant increase in theslopes ofE-PETCO2 relationship after both hypoxic exposures compared with control (IH vs.C, P < 0.01; PH vs. C,P < 0.001; analysis of covariance with pairwise comparisons). This increase was not significantly different between protocols IH andPH. No significant changes in theintercept were detected. We conclude that 8 h of hypoxia, whetherisocapnic or poikilocapnic, increases the sensitivity of the hyperoxicchemoreflex response to CO2. 相似文献

The aims of this study were to determine 1) whether ventilatory adaptation occurred over a 5-day exposure to a constant elevation in end-tidal PCO2 and 2) whether such an exposure altered the sensitivity of the chemoreflexes to acute hypoxia and hypercapnia. Ten healthy human subjects were studied over a period of 13 days. Their ventilation, chemoreflex sensitivities, and acid-base status were measured daily before, during, and after 5 days of elevated end-tidal PCO2 at 8 Torr above normal. There was no major adaptation of ventilation during the 5 days of hypercapnic exposure. There was an increase in ventilatory chemosensitivity to acute hypoxia (from 1.35 +/- 0.08 to 1.70 +/- 0.07 l/min/%; P < 0.01) but no change in ventilatory chemosensitivity to acute hypercapnia. There was a degree of compensatory metabolic alkalosis. The results do not support the hypothesis that the ventilatory adaptation to chronic hypercapnia would be much greater with constant elevation of alveolar PCO2 than with constant elevation of inspired PCO2, as has been used in previous studies and in which the feedback loop between ventilation and alveolar PCO2 is left intact. 相似文献

Background
RNA interference (RNAi) is a powerful approach in functional genomics to selectively silence messenger mRNA (mRNA) expression and can be employed to rapidly develop potential novel drugs against a complex disease like cancer. However, naked siRNA being anionic is unable to cross the anionic cell membrane through passive diffusion and therefore, delivery of siRNA remains a major hurdle to overcome before the potential of siRNA technology can fully be exploited in cancer. pH-sensitive carbonate apatite has recently been developed as an efficient tool to deliver siRNA into the mammalian cells by virtue of its high affinity interaction with the siRNA and the desirable size distribution of the resulting siRNA-apatite complex for effective cellular endocytosis. Moreover, internalized siRNA was found to escape from the endosomes in a time-dependent manner and efficiently silence gene expression.Results
Here we show that carbonate apatite-mediated delivery of siRNA against PLC-gamma-2 (PLCG2) and calmodulin 1 (CALM1) genes has led to the sensitization of a human cervical cancer cell line to doxorubicin- and paclitaxel depending on the dosage of the individual drug whereas no such enhancement in cell death was observed with cisplatin irrespective of the dosage following intracellular delivery of the siRNAs.Conclusion
Thus, PLCG2 and CALM1 genes are two potential targets for gene knockdown in doxorubicin and paclitaxel-based chemotherapy of cervical cancer. 相似文献4.
Selected contribution: chemoreflex responses to CO2 before and after an 8-h exposure to hypoxia in humans. 总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1
The ventilatory sensitivity to CO2, in hyperoxia, is increased after an 8-h exposure to hypoxia. The purpose of the present study was to determine whether this increase arises through an increase in peripheral or central chemosensitivity. Ten healthy volunteers each underwent 8-h exposures to 1) isocapnic hypoxia, with end-tidal PO2 (PET(O2)) = 55 Torr and end-tidal PCO2 (PET(CO2)) = eucapnia; 2) poikilocapnic hypoxia, with PET(O2) = 55 Torr and PET(CO2) = uncontrolled; and 3) air-breathing control. The ventilatory response to CO2 was measured before and after each exposure with the use of a multifrequency binary sequence with two levels of PET(CO2): 1.5 and 10 Torr above the normal resting value. PET(O2) was held at 250 Torr. The peripheral (Gp) and the central (Gc) sensitivities were calculated by fitting the ventilatory data to a two-compartment model. There were increases in combined Gp + Gc (26%, P < 0.05), Gp (33%, P < 0.01), and Gc (23%, P = not significant) after exposure to hypoxia. There were no significant differences between isocapnic and poikilocapnic hypoxia. We conclude that sustained hypoxia induces a significant increase in chemosensitivity to CO2 within the peripheral chemoreflex. 相似文献

The ventilatory responses to CO(2) of high-altitude (HA) natives and patients with chronic mountain sickness (CMS) were studied and compared with sea-level (SL) natives living at SL. A multifrequency binary sequence (MFBS) in end-tidal Pco(2) was employed to separate the fast (peripheral) and slow (central) components of the chemoreflex response. MFBS was imposed against a background of both euoxia (end-tidal Po(2) of 100 Torr) and hypoxia (52.5 Torr). Both total and central chemoreflex sensitivity to CO(2) in euoxia were higher in HA and CMS subjects compared with SL subjects. Peripheral chemoreflex sensitivity to CO(2) in euoxia was higher in HA subjects than in SL subjects. Hypoxia induced a greater increase in total chemoreflex sensitivity to CO(2) in SL subjects than in HA and CMS subjects, but peripheral chemoreflex sensitivity to CO(2) in hypoxia was no greater in SL subjects than in HA and CMS subjects. Values for the slow (central) time constant were significantly greater for HA and CMS subjects than for SL subjects. 相似文献

Ventilatory acclimatization tohypoxia is associated with an increase in ventilation under conditionsof acute hyperoxia(Ehyperoxia) and an increase in acute hypoxic ventilatory response (AHVR). Thisstudy compares 48-h exposures to isocapnic hypoxia( protocol I) with 48-hexposures to poikilocapnic hypoxia ( protocolP) in 10 subjects to assess the importance ofhypocapnic alkalosis in generating the changes observed in ventilatoryacclimatization to hypoxia. During both hypoxic exposures,end-tidal PO2 was maintained at60 Torr, with end-tidal PCO2 held at the subject's prehypoxic level( protocol I) or uncontrolled( protocol P).Ehyperoxiaand AHVR were assessed regularly throughout the exposures.Ehyperoxia(P < 0.001, ANOVA) and AHVR(P < 0.001) increased during thehypoxic exposures, with no significant differences betweenprotocols I andP. The increase inEhyperoxiawas associated with an increase in slope of theventilation-end-tidal PCO2 response(P < 0.001) with no significantchange in intercept. These results suggest that changes in respiratorycontrol early in ventilatory acclimatization to hypoxiaresult from the effects of hypoxia per se and not the alkalosisnormally accompanying hypoxia. 相似文献

Ventilatory acclimatization to hypoxia (VAH) consists of a progressive increase in ventilation and decrease in end-tidal Pco(2) (Pet(CO(2))). Underlying VAH, there are also increases in the acute ventilatory sensitivities to hypoxia and hypercapnia. To investigate whether these changes could be induced with very mild alterations in end-tidal Po(2) (Pet(O(2))), two 5-day exposures were compared: 1) mild hypoxia, with Pet(O(2)) held at 10 Torr below the subject's normal value; and 2) mild hyperoxia, with Pet(O(2)) held at 10 Torr above the subject's normal value. During both exposures, Pet(CO(2)) was uncontrolled. For each exposure, the entire protocol required measurements on 13 consecutive mornings: 3 mornings before the hypoxic or hyperoxic exposure, 5 mornings during the exposure, and 5 mornings postexposure. After the subjects breathed room air for at least 30 min, measurements were made of Pet(CO(2)), Pet(O(2)), and the acute ventilatory sensitivities to hypoxia and hypercapnia. Ten subjects completed both protocols. There was a significant increase in the acute ventilatory sensitivity to hypoxia (Gp) after exposure to mild hypoxia, and a significant decrease in Gp after exposure to mild hyperoxia (P < 0.05, repeated-measures ANOVA). No other variables were affected by mild hypoxia or hyperoxia. The results, when combined with those from other studies, suggest that Gp varies linearly with Pet(O(2)), with a sensitivity of 3.5%/Torr (SE 1.0). This sensitivity is sufficient to suggest that Gp is continuously varying in response to normal physiological fluctuations in Pet(O(2)). We conclude that at least some of the mechanisms underlying VAH may have a physiological role at sea level. 相似文献

The ventilatorysensitivity to CO2, in hyperoxia, is increased after an 8-hexposure to hypoxia. The purpose of the present study was to determinewhether this increase arises through an increase in peripheral orcentral chemosensitivity. Ten healthy volunteers each underwent 8-hexposures to 1) isocapnic hypoxia, with end-tidalPO2 (PETO2) = 55 Torr and end-tidal PCO2(PETCO2) = eucapnia; 2)poikilocapnic hypoxia, with PETO2 = 55 Torr and PETCO2 = uncontrolled;and 3) air-breathing control. The ventilatory response toCO2 was measured before and after each exposure with theuse of a multifrequency binary sequence with two levels of PETCO2: 1.5 and 10 Torr above the normalresting value. PETO2 was held at 250 Torr.The peripheral (Gp) and the central (Gc) sensitivities were calculatedby fitting the ventilatory data to a two-compartment model. There wereincreases in combined Gp + Gc (26%, P < 0.05),Gp (33%, P < 0.01), and Gc (23%, P = not significant) after exposure to hypoxia. There were no significant differences between isocapnic and poikilocapnic hypoxia. We conclude that sustained hypoxia induces a significant increase inchemosensitivity to CO2 within the peripheral chemoreflex. 相似文献

In humans, 8 h of isocapnic hypoxia causes a progressive rise in ventilation associated with increases in the acute ventilatory responses to hypoxia (AHVR) and hypercapnia (AHCVR). To determine whether 8 h of hyperoxia causes the converse of these effects, three 8-h protocols were compared in 14 subjects: 1) poikilocapnic hyperoxia, with end-tidal PO(2) (PET(O(2))) = 300 Torr and end-tidal PCO(2) (PET(CO(2))) uncontrolled; 2) isocapnic hyperoxia, with PET(O(2)) = 300 Torr and PET(CO(2)) maintained at the subject's normal air-breathing level; and 3) control. Ventilation was measured hourly. AHVR and AHCVR were determined before and 0.5 h after each exposure. During isocapnic hyperoxia, after an initial increase, ventilation progressively declined (P < 0.01, ANOVA). After exposure to hyperoxia, 1) AHVR declined (P < 0.05); 2) ventilation at fixed PET(CO(2)) decreased (P < 0.05); and 3) air-breathing PET(CO(2)) increased (P < 0.05); but 4) no significant changes in AHCVR or intercept were demonstrated. In conclusion, 8 h of hyperoxia have some effects opposite to those found with 8 h of hypoxia, indicating that there may be some "acclimatization to hypoxia" at normal sea-level values of PO(2). 相似文献
