Orcein was separated into 14 dyes by partition chromatography. Their constitutions were determined mainly by spectroscopy and led to formulae that are derived from 7-amino-2-phenoxazone, 7-hydroxy-2-phenoxazone, and 7-amino-2-phenoxazime, and that were confirmed by syntheses. The major constituent of litmus is assembled polymerically from 7-hydroxy-2-phenoxazone chromophores. The mechanism of formation is elucidated. 相似文献

Activated platelets rapidly up-regulate CD40L expression and can effectively mature and activate autologous ex vivo differentiated DC 总被引:2,自引:0,他引:2
Background DC are a promising immunotherapeutic for treatment of infectious/malignant disease. For clinical trials, immature DC generated from precursor cells such as monocytes, using serum-free media containing GM-CSF and IL-4, can be matured with specific cytokines/factors. CD40 ligand (CD40L) plays an important role in DC activation/maturation but is not available for clinical applications. These studies evaluated the feasibility of using activated platelets with elevated CD40L surface expression to stimulate autologous DC maturation. Methods Pilot and clinical scale studies were executed using magnetic/centrifugal separation. Monocyte precursors were differentiated to immature DC with GM-CSF and IL-4 and the ability of activated autologous platelets to mature these cells was evaluated on the basis of phenotype and function. Results In small-scale studies, DC cultures stimulated with activated autologous platelets (CD40L-AP), tumor necrosis factor-alpha (TNF-alpha) or soluble CD40L (sCD40L) up-regulated expression of phenotype markers indicative of activation and maturation. CD86 expression was significantly enhanced (P<0.05) by stimulation with either CD40L-AP (75.5+/-14.5%) or sCD40L (80.5%+/-5.3%) compared with immature DC (55.2+/-14.8%), as were CD80 and CD83. Similarly, in large-scale studies using Isolex 300I to enrich for monocytes and platelets for DC generation/maturation on a clinical scale, stimulation with CD40L-AP increased CD86 and CD80 expression as well as the ability to stimulate allogeneic lymphocytes compared with control cultures. Discussion These results demonstrate that thrombin-activated platelets express CD40L and are effective at inducing matured DC with potent immunogenic activity. Furthermore, these studies demonstrate the feasibility of this approach for clinical immunotherapeutic interventions. 相似文献

In the present study, the cAMP analogs 8-bromo-cAMP (8-Br-cAMP), N6-2'O-dibutyryl-cAMP (DBcAMP) and 8-para-chlorophenylthio-cAMP (8-CPT-cAMP), as well as the corresponding cAMP-acetoxymethyl (AM)-ester-prodrugs were tested in a HPLC study for their membrane permeability, intracellular accumulation and biotransformation. Antiproliferative activities of these compounds were studied in the rat C6 glioma cell line. Chromatographic analysis revealed that the AM-ester analogs of the cyclic nucleotides penetrate quantitatively into rat C6 glioma cells and generate high amounts of their parent cyclic nucleotides intracellularly within 60 min; however, long-term growth inhibition tested in C6 cells is only slightly enhanced with the AM-ester prodrugs of 8-Br-cAMP or DBcAMP. 相似文献

In a range of low ionic strength, aqueous dispersions of the anionic phospholipid DMPG (dimyristoylphosphatidylglycerol) have a transparent intermediate phase (IP, between T(m)(on) congruent with 20 degrees C and T(m)(off) congruent with 30 degrees C) between the turbid gel and fluid membrane phases, evidenced in turbidity data. Small angle x-ray scattering results on DMPG dispersions show that, besides the bilayer peak present in all phases, a peak corresponding to a mesoscopic structure at approximately 400 A is detected only in IP. The dependence of this peak position on DMPG concentration suggests a correlation in the bilayer plane, consistent with the stability of vesicles in IP. Moreover, observation of giant DMPG vesicles with phase contrast light microscopy show that vesicles "disappear" upon cooling below T(m)(off) and "reappear" after reheating. This further proves that although vesicles cannot be visualized in IP, their overall structure is maintained. We propose that the IP in the melting regime corresponds to unilamellar vesicles with perforations, a model which is consistent with all described experimental observations. Furthermore, the opening of pores across the membrane tuned by ionic strength, temperature, and lipid composition is likely to have biological relevance and could be used in applications for controlled release from nanocompartments. 相似文献

BACKGROUND: Tissue engineering using mesenchymal stromal cells (MSC) represents a promising approach for bone regeneration. Nevertheless, the optimal constructs have yet to be determined. It still remains unclear if there is a benefit of in vitro differentiation of MSC prior to transplantation or if undifferentiated MSC hold the optimal potential concerning new tissue formation. METHODS: After isolation and in vitro expansion, MSC were seeded on mineralized collagen sponges and transplanted in a heterotopic SCID mice model (n=12). While group A contained undifferentiated MSC, in group B cells were cultivated for 14 days in vitro under osteogenic conditions prior to implantation. Results were compared with non-loaded scaffolds (group C). Animals were killed for investigation at 4 and at 8 weeks. RESULTS: In situ hybridization demonstrated integration of MSC for up to 8 weeks in groups A and B. Histology revealed significantly more extracellular matrix synthesis in MSC-seeded scaffolds containing calcium phosphate and collagen type I at 4 and 8 weeks after transplantation compared with unloaded controls. At a biochemical level, higher levels of specific alkaline phosphatase expression were detected in MSC-loaded scaffolds (P<0.05). Scaffolds containing undifferentiated and differentiated MSC did not appear to differ in terms of matrix synthesis and protein expression, while the number of avital cells was significant higher in those probes loaded with differentiated MSC (P<0.01). DISCUSSION: The integration of transplanted cells and MSC-associated matrix synthesis encourages the use of MSC-loaded mineralized collagen for tissue engineering of bone. Furthermore, our data suggest that in vitro differentiation of MSC does not have a positive influence in terms of improved matrix synthesis. 相似文献

Functional proteomics aims to describe cellular protein networks in depth based on the quantification of molecular interactions. In order to study the interaction of adenosine-3',5'-cyclic monophosphate (cAMP), a general second messenger involved in several intracellular signalling networks, with one of its respective target proteins, the regulatory (R) subunit of cAMP dependent protein kinase (PKA), a number of different methods was employed. These include fluorescence polarisation (FP), isothermal titration calorimetry (ITC), surface plasmon resonance (SPR), amplified luminescence proximity homogeneous assay (ALPHA-screen), radioligand binding or activity-based assays. Kinetic, thermodynamic and equilibrium binding data of a variety of cAMP derivatives to several cAMP binding domains were integrated in a single database system, we called KinetXBase, allowing for very distinct data formats. KinetXBase is a practical data handling system for molecular interaction data of any kind, providing a synopsis of data derived from different technologies. This supports ongoing efforts in the bioinformatics community to devise formal concepts for a unified representation of interaction data, in order to enable their exchange and easy comparison. KinetXBase was applied here to analyse complex cAMP binding data and highly site-specific cAMP analogues could be identified. The software package is free for download by academic users. 相似文献
