Summary In the heart of the adult rat, fibroblasts are mainly responsible for the synthesis and deposition of the collagenous matrix. Because these cells in vitro may serve as an important model system for studies of collagen metabolism in heart tissue, we have cultured and characterized rat-heart fibroblasts from young adult and old animals. Conditions included use of media of different compositions with and without addition of ascorbate. Cell used were either cultured directly from fresh tissues or thawed previously frozen cells. Cultured cells were studied with respect to growth properties, morphology and ultrastructure and patterns of collagen. Heart fibroblasts generally resembled fibroblasts cultured from other tissues, but were more like skeletal muscle fibroblasts in that they deposited, in addition to type I collagen, type IV collagen and laminin. The fibroblasts showed a typical appearance in phase-contrast microscopy and electron microscopy. In the case of cells grown with added ascorbate, aligned collagen fibrils in the extracellular matrix showed a periodicity typical of type I collagen. The deposition of type I collagen occurred only in medium supplemented with ascorbate, and in that circumstance increased as a function of time past confluence; this was independent of the age of the animal from which the cells were obtained or of other changes of medium composition studied. Immunofluorescence studies with specific antibodies revealed that the cells deposited types I and IV collagens, laminin and fibronectin. In contrast to the case of type I collagen, the deposition of type IV collagen occurred in cells grown either with or without ascorbate. Direct observation of type IV collagen is consistent with the previous finding of type IV mRNA in cardiac fibroblasts in situ and in freshly isolated populations of these cells. 相似文献

Detection of amyloid beta protein precursor immunoreactivity in normal and Alzheimer's disease cerebrospinal fluid 总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1
The amyloid A4 (or beta protein), a 4.2 kD polypeptide, is a major component of amyloid deposits in the brains of patients with Alzheimer's Disease (AD). The self-aggregating amyloid A4 protein of AD is encoded as part of three larger proteins by the amyloid A4 precursor gene. The corresponding proteins have 695, 751 and 770 amino acid residues. To investigate the utility of amyloid beta protein precursor (A beta PP) as a diagnostic marker for AD an antiserum against a synthetic peptide (175-186), predicted from cDNA sequence for A beta PP, was used. The immunoreactivity of A beta PP in normal and AD cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) was measured by Western blot and detected with radiolabeled protein A. A total of fifty-seven CSF samples (AD = 27 and normal = 30) were analyzed for A beta PP immunoreactivity. A polyclonal antibody detected two major protein bands with apparent molecular weights of 105kD and 90kD both in normal and AD CSF. The difference between normal and AD CSF was not significant. These results indicate that immunoreactivity of A beta PP is present both in normal and AD CSF, and that the difference is too small to be used as a diagnostic marker. 相似文献

As the incidence of small-diameter vascular graft (SDVG) occlusion is considerably high, a great amount of research is focused on constructing a more biocompatible graft. The absence of a biocompatible surface in the lumen of the engineered grafts that can support confluent lining with endothelial cells (ECs) can cause thrombosis and graft failure. Blood clot formation is mainly because of the lack of an integrated endothelium. The most effective approach to combat this problem would be using natural extracellular matrix constituents as a mimic of endothelial basement membrane along with applying anticoagulant agents to provide local antithrombotic effects. In this study, we fabricated aligned and random electrospun poly-L-lactic acid (PLLA) scaffolds containing acetylsalicylic acid (ASA) as the anticoagulation agent and surface coated them with amniotic membrane (AM) lysate. Vascular scaffolds were structurally and mechanically characterized and assessed for cyto- and hemocompatibility and their ability to support endothelial differentiation was examined. All the scaffolds showed appropriate tensile strength as expected for vascular grafts. Lack of cytotoxicity, cellular attachment, growth, and infiltration were proved using 3-(4,5-dimethylthiazol-2-yl)-2,5-diphenyltetrazolium bromide assay and scanning electron microscopy. The blood compatibilities of different scaffolds examined by in vitro hemolysis and blood coagulation assays elucidated the excellent hemocompatibility of our novel AM-coated ASA-loaded nanofibers. Drug-loaded scaffolds showed a sustained release profile of ASA in 7 days. AM-coated electrospun PLLA fibers showed enhanced cytocompatibility for human umbilical vein ECs, making a confluent endothelial-like lining. In addition, AM lysate-coated ASA-PLLA-aligned scaffold proved to support endothelial differentiation of Wharton's jelly-derived mesenchymal stem cells. Our results together indicated that AM lysate-coated ASA releasing scaffolds have promising potentials for development of a biocompatible SDVG. 相似文献

Dengue, a mosquito-borne disease, is caused by four known dengue serotypes. This infection causes a range of symptoms from a mild fever to a sever homorganic fever and death. It is a serious public health problem in subtropical and tropical countries. There is no specific vaccine currently available for clinical use and study on this issue is ongoing. In this study, bioinformatics approaches were used to predict antigenic, immunogenic, non-allergenic, and conserved B and T-cell epitopes as promising targets to design an effective peptide-based vaccine against dengue virus. Molecular docking analysis indicated the deep binding of the identified epitopes in the binding groove of the most popular human MHC I allele (human leukocyte antigens [HLA] A*0201). The final vaccine construct was created by conjugating the B and T-cell identified epitopes using proper linkers and adding an appropriate adjuvant at the N-terminal. The characteristics of the new subunit vaccine demonstrated that the epitope-based vaccine was antigenic, non-toxic, stable, and soluble. Other physicochemical properties of the new designed construct including isoelectric point value, aliphatic index, and grand average of hydropathicity were biologically considerable. Molecular docking of the engineered vaccine with Toll-like receptor 2 (TLR2) model revealed the hydrophobic interaction between the adjuvant and the ligand binding regions in the hydrophobic channel of TLR2. The study results indicated the high potential capability of the new multi-epitope vaccine to induce cellular and humoral immune responses against the dengue virus. Further experimental tests are required to investigate the immune protection capacity of the new vaccine construct in animal models.

Six genes are vertebrate homologues of the homeobox-containing gene sine oculis, which plays an essential role in controlling Drosophila compound eye development. Here we report the identification and expression patterns of all three subfamilies of Xenopus Six genes. Two Six2 subfamily genes (Six1, Six2) showed very similar expression patterns in cranial ganglia, otic placodes and the eyes. Non-neural expression of Six1 and Six2 was observed with mesodermal head mesenchyme, somites and their derivatives, the muscle anlagen of the embryonic trunk. In addition, Six2 expression was also found with mesenchyme associated with the developing stomach and pronephros. Expression of Six3 subfamily genes (Six3.1, Six3.2, Six6.1, and Six6.2) was restricted to the developing head, where expression was especially observed in derivatives of the forebrain (eyes, optic stalks, the hypothalamus and pituitary gland). Interestingly, expression of all Six3 subfamily members but Six6.2 was also found with the pineal gland primordium and the tegmentum. Expression of Six4 subfamily genes (Six4.1, Six4.2) was present in the developing visceral arches, placodal derivatives (otic vesicle, olfactory system), head mesenchyme and the eye. The observed dynamic expression patterns are largely conserved between lower and higher vertebrates and imply important roles of Six family genes not only in eye formation and myogenesis, but also in the development of the gut, the kidney and of placode-derived structures. 相似文献

Packed Bed Bioreactor for the Isolation and Expansion of Placental-Derived Mesenchymal Stromal Cells

Large numbers of Mesenchymal stem/stromal cells (MSCs) are required for clinical relevant doses to treat a number of diseases. To economically manufacture these MSCs, an automated bioreactor system will be required. Herein we describe the development of a scalable closed-system, packed bed bioreactor suitable for large-scale MSCs expansion. The packed bed was formed from fused polystyrene pellets that were air plasma treated to endow them with a surface chemistry similar to traditional tissue culture plastic. The packed bed was encased within a gas permeable shell to decouple the medium nutrient supply and gas exchange. This enabled a significant reduction in medium flow rates, thus reducing shear and even facilitating single pass medium exchange. The system was optimised in a small-scale bioreactor format (160 cm2) with murine-derived green fluorescent protein-expressing MSCs, and then scaled-up to a 2800 cm2 format. We demonstrated that placental derived MSCs could be isolated directly within the bioreactor and subsequently expanded. Our results demonstrate that the closed system large-scale packed bed bioreactor is an effective and scalable tool for large-scale isolation and expansion of MSCs. 相似文献
