Monolayer formation of SaOS‐2 (human osteoblast‐like cells) was observed on VACNT (vertically aligned multiwalled carbon nanotubes) scaffolds without purification or functionalization. The VACNT were produced by a microwave plasma chemical vapour deposition on titanium surfaces with nickel or iron as catalyst. Cell viability and morphology studies were evaluated by LDH (lactate dehydrogenase) release assay and SEM (scanning electron microscopy), respectively. The non‐toxicity and the flat spreading with monolayer formation of the SaOs‐2 on VACNT scaffolds surface indicate that they can be used for biomedical applications. 相似文献

Somatic evolution, which underlies tumor progression, is driven by two essential components: (1) diversification of phenotypes through heritable mutations and epigenetic changes and (2) selection for mutant clones which possess higher fitness. Exposure to ionizing radiation (IR) is highly associated with increased risk of carcinogenesis. This link is traditionally attributed to causation of oncogenic mutations through the mutagenic effects of irradiation. On the other hand, potential effects of irradiation on altering fitness and increasing selection for mutant clones are frequently ignored. Recent studies bring the effects of irradiation on fitness and selection into focus, demonstrating that IR exposure results in stable reductions in the fitness of hematopoietic stem and progenitor cell populations. These reductions of fitness are associated with alteration of the adaptive landscape, increasing the selective advantages conferred by certain oncogenic mutations. Therefore, the link between irradiation and carcinogenesis might be more complex than traditionally appreciated: while mutagenic effects of irradiation should increase the probability of occurrence of oncogenic mutations, IR can also work as a tumor promoter, increasing the selective expansion of clones bearing mutations which become advantageous in the irradiation-altered environment, such as activated mutations in Notch1 or disrupting mutations in p53.Key words: Notch, p53, fitness, irradiation, hematopoietic, evolution 相似文献

The immunophenotype of HT29 human colon cancer cells implanted into severe combined immunodeficient mice was assessed in primary
tumours and their metastases in the lungs using an indirect immunohistochemical method. After primary tumours were surgically
removed, the metastases were given time to develop, thus paralleling the clinical situation. While vimentin was negative in
both primary and secondary tumours, E-cadherin was present as membrane-bound labelling in the primary tumours only. Whereas
the markers p53, MIB1, PCNA and CEA were consistently positive in both primary and metastatic tumours, CD44 variant 6 and
CA125 were negative in metastases but positive in the primary tumours. There was a significant increase in the percentage
of cells labelled for p53 in the primary tumours compared with the metastases. For the proliferation markers, there was no
significant difference in labelling between primary tumours and metastases for MIB1. Of the cytokeratins examined, CK 20 gave
the strongest and most consistent reaction in both primary and secondary tumours. The results indicate that, for certain immunohistochemical
markers, results are the same in both primary tumours and metastases. Hence, in these cases, antigens that are expressed on
the primary tumour as well as on the metastases can serve as target molecules for immunologically based forms of treatment
of metastases.

We tested the hypothesis that superoxide signaling within aortic perivascular adipose tissue (PVAT) contributes to large elastic artery stiffening in old mice. Young (4–6 months), old (26–28 months), and old treated with 4‐Hydroxy‐2,2,6,6‐tetramethylpiperidine 1‐oxyl (TEMPOL), a superoxide scavenger (1 mm in drinking water for 3 weeks), male C57BL6/N mice were studied. Compared with young, old had greater large artery stiffness assessed by aortic pulse wave velocity (aPWV, 436 ± 9 vs. 344 ± 5 cm s‐1) and intrinsic mechanical testing (3821 ± 427 vs. 1925 ± 271 kPa) (both P < 0.05). TEMPOL treatment in old reversed both measures of arterial stiffness. Aortic PVAT superoxide production was greater in old (P < 0.05 vs. Y), which was normalized with TEMPOL. Compared with young, old controls had greater pro‐inflammatory proteins in PVAT‐conditioned media (P < 0.05). Young recipient mice transplanted with PVAT from old compared with young donors for 8 weeks had greater aPWV (409 ± 7 vs. 342 ± 8 cm s‐1) and intrinsic mechanical properties (3197 ± 647 vs. 1889 ± 520 kPa) (both P < 0.05), which was abolished with TEMPOL supplementation in old donors. Tissue‐cultured aortic segments from old in the presence of PVAT had greater mechanical stiffening compared with old cultured in the absence of PVAT and old with PVAT and TEMPOL (both, P < 0.05). In addition, PVAT‐derived superoxide was associated with arterial wall hypertrophy and greater adventitial collagen I expression with aging that was attenuated by TEMPOL. Aging or TEMPOL treatment did not affect blood pressure. Our findings provide evidence for greater age‐related superoxide production and pro‐inflammatory proteins in PVAT, and directly link superoxide signaling in PVAT to large elastic artery stiffness. 相似文献

A sialoglycopeptide from bovine cerebral cortex cells was purified to apparent homogeneity by a procedure that included chloroform/methanol extraction, diethylaminoethyl ion exchange chromatography, wheat germ agglutinin affinity chromatography, size-exclusion HPLC, and hydrophobic interaction chromatography. The cell surface inhibitor had a molecular weight of approximately 18,000, no subunit composition was detectable on reduction and polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis analysis, and the glycopeptide apparently contained sialic acid, as illustrated by its ability to bind to Limulus polyhemus lectin. Deglycosylation of the molecule, however, did not reduce its protein synthesis inhibitory activity. As little as 20 ng of the sialoglycopeptide was capable of inhibiting protein synthesis in a wide variety of fibroblast cell lines but not in transformed cells. Mice immunized with the sialoglycopeptide produced antibodies that, when bound to protein A-agarose gel, removed the inhibitory activity from solution. The antibodies were used to identify a single isoelectric focused band and to establish the pI of 3.0 for the molecule. 相似文献

Comparisons of the molecular evolutionary process at rbcL and ndhF in the grass family (Poaceae) 总被引:2,自引:1,他引:1
We examine rate heterogeneity among evolutionary lineages of the grass
family at two plasmid loci, ndhF and rbcL, and we introduce a method to
determine whether patterns of rate heterogeneity are correlated between
loci. We show both that rates of synonymous evolution are heterogeneous
among grass lineages and that are heterogeneity is correlated between loci
at synonymous sites. At nonsynonymous sites, the pattern of rate
heterogeneity is not correlated between loci, primarily due to an aberrant
pattern of rate heterogeneity at nonsynonymous sites of rbcL. We compare
patterns of synonymous rate heterogeneity to predictors based on the
generation time effect and the speciation rate hypotheses. Although there
is some evidence for generation time effects, neither generation time
effects nor speciation rates appear to be sufficient to explain patterns of
rate heterogeneity in the grass plastid sequences.
