The distribution of glyoxylase (GLO) I phenotypes in six endogamous subgroups of Brahmins and in the Mala and Madiga castes of Andhra Pradesh was investigated. The GLO I gene frequencies ranged from 0.2444 to 0.3575. The frequency of 0.3565 found in the Mala is the highest recorded on the Indian subcontinent. 相似文献

Fine needle aspiration biopsy in uveal melanoma 总被引:3,自引:0,他引:3
Fine needle aspiration (FNA) biopsies were performed in a series of patients with uveal tumors. Cytopathologic examination established the correct diagnosis in 26 of 29 uveal melanomas. FNA biopsy was able to exclude the diagnosis of a malignant neoplasm in five nonmelanoma tumefactions. Histologic and FNA cytologic typing of melanomas as epithelioid or predominantly spindle cell showed good agreement, with the same classifications made in 14 of 18 cases. FNA biopsy specimens also proved to be adequate for DNA-content and cell-cycling studies. The cessation of cell cycling in successfully irradiated melanomas may be useful in establishing the postradiation status of tumors that have questionable growths after therapy, as was shown using FNA samples in three such cases in this study. The results of this study show that FNA biopsy is a useful diagnostic adjunct in patients with atypical lesions that require therapy. 相似文献

Xeroderma pigmentosum variant (XPV) cells lack the damage-specific polymerase eta and undergo a protracted arrest at the S phase checkpoint(s) following UV damage. The S phase checkpoints encompass several qualitatively different processes, and stimulate downstream events that are dependent on the functional state of p53. Primary fibroblasts with wild-type p53 arrest in S, and require a functional polymerase eta (pol eta) to carry out bypass replication, but do not recruit recombination factors for recovery. XPV cells with non-functional p53, as a result of transformation by SV40 or HPV16 (E6/E7), recruit the hMre11/hRad50/Nbs1 complex to arrested replication forks, coincident with PCNA, whereas normal transformed cells preferentially use the pol eta bypass replication pathway. The formation of hMre11 foci implies that arrested replication forks rapidly undergo a collapse involving double strand breakage and rejoining. Apoptosis occurs after UV only in cells transformed by SV40, and not in normal or XPV fibroblasts or HPV16 (E6/E7) transformed cells. Conversely, ultimate cell survival in XPV cells was much less in HPV16 (E6/E7) transformed cells than in SV40 transformed cells, indicating that apoptosis was not a reliable predictor of cell survival. Inhibition of p53 transactivation by pifithrin-alpha or inhibition of protein synthesis by cycloheximide did not induce hMre11 foci or apoptosis in UV damaged fibroblasts. Inhibition of kinase activity with wortmannin did not increase killing by UV, unlike the large increase seen with caffeine. Since HPV16 (E6/E7) transformed XPV cells were highly UV sensitive and not further sensitized by caffeine, it appears likely that caffeine sensitization proceeds through a p53 pathway. The S phase checkpoints are therefore, a complex set of different checkpoints that are coordinated by p53 with the capacity to differentially modulate cell survival, apoptosis, bypass replication and hMre11 recombination. 相似文献

Background aimsLimited cell dose has hampered the use of cord blood transplantation (CBT) in adults. One method of minimizing nucleated cell loss in cord blood (CB) processing is to deplete or reduce plasma but not red blood cells - plasma depletion/reduction (PDR).MethodsThe nucleated cell loss of PDR was studied, and determined to be less than 0.1% in the discarded supernatant plasma fraction in validation experiments. After testing and archival sampling, the median nucleated cell recovery for PDR processing was 90%, and median CD34+ cell recovery 88%. In a CB bank inventory of 12 339 products with both pre- and post-processing total nucleated cells (TNC), PDR processing resulted in median post-processing TNC recoveries of 90.0% after testing and archival samples removal. Using the same 10 CB units divided into two halves, we compared directly the recovery of PDR against hydroxyethyl starch red cell reduction (RCR) for TNC, CD34+ cells and colony-forming units (CFU-GM, CFU-E, CFU-GEMM and total CFU) after parallel processing. We also compared the loss of very small embryonic-like stem cells (VSEL).ResultsWe demonstrated significantly higher recoveries using PDR for TNC (124%), CD34+ cells (121%), CFU-GM (225%), CFU-GEMM (201%), total CFU (186%) and VSEL (187%). The proportion of high TNC products was compared between 10 912 PDR and 38 819 RCR CB products and found to be 200% higher for products that had TNC ≥150 × 107 (P = 0.0001) for the PDR inventory.ConclusionsOur data indicate that PDR processing of CB provides a significantly more efficient usage of this valuable and scarce resource. 相似文献

Recent research has highlighted degradable multilayer films that enable the programmed release of different therapeutics. Multilayers constructed by the layer-by-layer (LbL) deposition that can undergo disassembly have been demonstrated to be of considerable interest, particularly for biomedical surface coatings due to their versatility and mild aqueous processing conditions, enabling the inclusion of biologic drugs with high activity. In this study, we examine the controlled release of a protein using a different mechanism for film disassembly, the gradual dissociation of film interactions under release conditions. Poly(β-amino ester)s and poly(L-lysine) (PLL) were used as the positively charged multilayer components coassembled with a model negatively charged antigen protein, ovalbumin (Ova). The release of the protein from these multilayer films is dominated by the slow shift in the charge of components under physiological pH conditions rather than by hydrolytic degradative release. The time scale of release can be varied over almost 2 orders of magnitude by varying the ratio of the two polyamines in the deposition solution. The highly versatile and tunable properties of these films form a basis for designing controlled and sequential delivery of drug coatings using a variety of polyions. 相似文献

Functions are diversified by producing hierarchical structures from a single raw material. Biologically compatible milk protein of κ-casein has been employed to fabricate higher-order suprastructures. In the presence of dithiothreitol and heat treatment, κ-casein transforms into amyloid fibrils with distinctive morphology attributable to mechanism-based fibrillar polymorphism. As the fibrils elongate to yield high aspect ratio during high-temperature incubation, the resulting fibrils laterally associate into the liquid crystalline state by forming a two-dimensional fibrillar array. Following a desalting process, the fibrillar arrays turn into a three-dimensional matrix of hydrogel that could be selectively disintegrated by subsequent salt treatment. The hydrogel was demonstrated to be a matrix capable of exhibiting controlled release of bioactive substances like retinoic acid, which led to temporal and spatial control over the differentiation of neuronal cells. Therefore, the hierarchical suprastructure formation derived from the single protein of κ-casein producing one-dimensional protein nanofibrils, a two-dimensional liquid crystalline state and a three-dimensional hydrogel could be widely appreciated in various areas of nanobiotechnology including drug delivery and tissue engineering. 相似文献

Confocal and electron microscopy images, and WB analysis of cellular fractions revealed that HP1γ is in the nucleus but also in the cytoplasm of C2C12 myoblasts, myotubes, skeletal and cardiac muscles, N2a, HeLa and HEK293T cells. Signal specificity was tested with different antibodies and by HP1γ knockdown. Leptomycin B treatment of myoblasts increased nuclear HP1γ, suggesting that its nuclear export is Crm-1-dependent. HP1γ exhibited a filamentous pattern of staining partially co-localizing with actin in the cytoplasm of myotubes and myofibrils. Immunoelectron microscopic analysis showed high-density immunogold particles that correspond to HP1γ localized to the Z-disk and A-band of the sarcomere of skeletal muscle. HP1γ partially co-localized with actin in C2C12 myotubes and murine myofibrils. Importantly, actin co-immunoprecipitated with HP1γ in the nuclear and cytosolic fractions of myoblasts. Actin co-immunoprecipitated with HP1γ in myoblasts incubated in the absence or presence of the actin depolymerizing agent cytochalasin D, suggesting that HP1γ may interact with G-and F-actin. In the cytoplasm, HP1γ was associated to the perinuclear actin cap that controls nuclear shape and position. In the nucleus, re-ChIP assays showed that HP1γ-actin associates to the promoter and transcribed regions of the house keeping gene GAPDH, suggesting that HP1γ may function as a scaffold protein for the recruitment of actin to control gene expression. When HP1γ was knocked-down, myoblasts were unable to differentiate or originated thin myotubes. In summary, HP1γ is present in the nucleus and the cytoplasm interacting with actin, a protein complex that may exert different functions depending on its subcellular localization. 相似文献
