Adriamycin (ADR) increases the production of reactive oxygen species (ROS), which diminishes mitochondrial function. Angiotensin-II stimulates mitochondrial ROS generation. The aim of the study was to examine whether angiotensin converting enzyme (ACE) or renin inhibitors protect against ADR-induced mitochondrial function impairment. Rats were divided into five groups as control, ADR, co-treatment ADR with captopril, co-treatment ADR with aliskiren, co-treatment ADR with both captopril and aliskiren. Left ventricular function and blood pressures were assessed at the end of treatment period. Mitochondrial membrane potential (MMP) and ATP levels were determined. ADR treatment decreased the left ventricular pressure and increased the left ventricular end-diastolic pressure. ADR decreased MMP and ATP levels in myocyte mitochondria due to increasing oxidative stress. ADR decreased MMP and ATP levels due to increased oxidative stress in the heart. Inhibitors of ACE and renin caused the elevation of the decreased of MMP and ATP levels. The pathologic changes in electrocardiogram, blood pressure and left ventricular function were decreased by inhibition of Ang-II production. We concluded that inhibitors of angiotensin II are effective against ADR cardiotoxicity via the restoration of MMP and ATP production and prevention of mitochondrial damage in vivo.  相似文献

Voltage-gated potassium channels control the membrane potential of excitable cells. To understand their function, knowledge of their structure is essential. However, these channels are scarce in natural sources, and overexpression is necessary to generate material for structural studies. We have compared functional expression of the Drosophila Shaker H4 potassium channel in stable insect cell lines and in baculovirus-infected insect cells, using three different baculovirus promoters. Stable insect cell lines expressed correctly assembled channel, which was glycosylated and found predominantly at, or close to, the cell surface. In comparison, the majority of baculovirus-overexpressed Shaker was intracellular and incorrectly assembled. The proportion of functional Shaker increased, however, if the weaker basic protein promoter was used rather than the stronger p10 or polyhedrin promoters. In addition, co-expression of the molecular chaperone, calnexin, increased the quantity of correctly assembled channel protein, suggesting that calnexin can be used to increase the efficiency of channel expression in insect cells.  相似文献

OBJECTIVE: To investigate the nuclear DNA content of pleomorphic adenomas with cytologic atypia. STUDY DESIGN: Analysis was performed on new, fuchsin-stained samples of 10 selected cases of pleomorphic adenoma with cytologic atypia. Morphometric analysis was done by a computer-assisted image cytometry system and consisted of the determination of DNA indices, Auer DNA histogram types, and 3c and 5c exceeding rates. RESULTS: Eight cases were diploid and two cases aneuploid according to the DNA index. The Auer histogram was type I in five cases and type III in the others. In the two aneuploid cases the 3c exceeding rate was > 10% and the 5c exceeding rate > 1%. CONCLUSION: Atypical cells in pleomorphic adenomas with cytologic atypia carry abnormal amounts of DNA. Image cytometry can make detecting very low numbers of aneuploid cells easier due to its higher resolution as compared to that of flow cytometry.  相似文献

The genus Agriopleura (Radiolitidae) is restricted to the Lower Cretaceous of the Mediterranean region, including the Middle East, and this rudist is apparently absent from the New World. Agriopleura underwent a size increase from late Hauterivian to mid‐late Barremian, matching Cope's rule, followed by a Lilliput phase in the early Aptian. The relative development of radial bands increased through time and represents a key evolutionary index. During its evolution, Agriopleura increased in species diversity and expanded geographically onto the European Mediterranean Tethyan margin from the late Hauterivian to Barremian, after which it disappeared from the region (pseudotermination). In the lower Aptian, after a Lazarus gap, the genus reappears in the southern Mediterranean Tethyan margin. Assuming that Archaeoradiolites is the direct descendant of Agriopleura, the disappearance of the genus in the mid‐Aptian was a pseudoextinction and this coincided with a major crisis of shallow carbonate settings and their associated biota. The definition of Agriopleura species is based on a set of qualitative and quantitative external and internal characters. Five species are recognized: three Barremian species, Agriopleura blumenbachi, the type species, A. marticensis and A. carinata; one lower Aptian species A. libanica; and a new species A. sequana restricted to the upper Hauterivian. Principal component analysis is used to test the distinctiveness of the species and the pattern of relationships of some of their key quantitative characters.  相似文献

Background aimsThe types of proteins released from mesenchymal stromal cells (MSC) are still unclear. Our aim was to compare apoptosis scores and the expression of myelin-associated glycoprotein (MAG), myelin basic protein (MBP), neural cell adhesion molecule (NCAM)-1,matrix metalloproteinase (MMP)-1A, tissue inhibitor of metalloproteinase (TIMP)-1, TIMP-1/MMP-1A ratio, nerve growth factor (NGF), brain-derived neurotrophic factor (BDNF), ciliary neurotrophic factor (CNTF), neurotrophin (NT)-3, NT-4, glial cell-derived neurotropic factor (GDNF), leukemia inhibitory factor (LIF), basic fibroblast growth factor (FGF)-2, insulin-like growth factor (IGF)-1, platelet-derived growth factor (PDGF)-α and transforming growth factor (TGF)-β1 in anastomosed facial nerves that had been treated with or without MSC.MethodsIn seven rats, the buccal branch of the right facial nerve was transected, anastomosed and treated with MSC (anastomosed + MSC group). The left buccal branch was anastomosed only (anastomosed-only group). The left mandibular branch served as an intact nerve group. On days 18–20, the distal segments of the branches were examined in terms of expression of the mentioned proteins and apoptosis scores using polymerase chain reaction (PCR) and terminal deoxynucleotidyl transferase-mediated digoxigenin-UTP nick end labeling (TUNEL) assays.ResultsMSC application significantly increased CNTF, PDGF-α, LIF, TGF-β1, BDNF and NT-3 expression (P < 0.05). MAG expression slightly decreased whereas NCAM-1, MMP-1A and FGF-2 slightly increased(P > 0.05). Changes in other proteins and apoptosis scores were not significant.ConclusionsThese results suggest that MSC increases expression of CNTF, PDGF-α, LIF,TGF-β1, BDNF and NT-3. MAG, NCAM-1, MMP-1A and FGF-2 expressions were slightly changed in this stage of nerve regeneration. The comparison of apoptotic activity was not conclusive. Overall, it appears that MSC might have differential effects on the mentioned tissue-related proteins and trophic/growth factors.  相似文献

The effect of dysfunctional mitochondria in several cell pathologies has been reported in renal diseases, including diabetic nephropathy and acute kidney injury. Previous studies have reported that mitochondrial transplantation provided surprising results in myocardial and liver ischemia, as well as in Parkinson's disease. We aimed to investigate the beneficial effects of isolated mitochondria transplantation from mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) in vivo, to mitigate renal damage that arises from doxorubicin‐mediated nephrotoxicity and its action mechanism. In this study, a kidney model of doxorubicin‐mediated nephrotoxicity was used and isolated mitochondria from MSCs were transferred to the renal cortex of rats. The findings showed that the rate of isolated mitochondria from MSCs maintains sufficient membrane integrity, and was associated with a beneficial renal therapeutic effect. Following doxorubicin‐mediated renal injury, isolated mitochondria or vehicle infused into the renal cortex and rats were monitored for five days. This study found that mitochondrial transplantation decreased cellular oxidative stress and promoted regeneration of tubular cells after renal injury (P < .001, P = .009). Moreover, mitochondrial transplantation reduced protein accumulation of tubular cells and reversed renal deficits (P = .01, P < .001). Mitochondrial transplantation increased Bcl‐2 levels, and caspase‐3 levels decreased in injured renal cells (P < .015, P < .001). Our results provide a direct link between mitochondria dysfunction and doxorubicin‐mediated nephrotoxicity and suggest a therapeutic effect of transferring isolated mitochondria obtained from MSCs against renal injury. To our knowledge, this study is the first study in the literature that showed good therapeutic effects of mitochondrial transplantation in a nephrotoxicity model, which is under‐researched.  相似文献

This study evaluated the plasma levels of trace elements in children with chronic hepatitis B virus (HBV) infection and assessed whether they can be a factor that affects the response to interferon alpha (IFN-α) treatment. The study included 35 cases (ten girls, 25 boys) aged 3–13 years with chronic HBV infection and the control group. Plasma levels of copper (Cu), manganese (Mn), molybdenum (Mo), selenium (Se), and zinc (Zn) were measured before IFN-α treatment and biochemical, virological, and histopathologic response to treatment were assessed. Children were followed for at least 15 months. Although plasma Cu levels showed no difference between the groups, Mn, Mo, Se, and Zn levels were significantly lower in the study group before treatment. Fourteen cases (40%) showed biochemical response; 17 (48.6%) showed virological response; 16 (47.6%) showed histopathologic response, and ten (28.6%) showed response according to all three parameters. Plasma Cu and Mn levels of patients with triple response showed no difference; but Mo, Se, and Zn levels were significantly lower (p?<?0.001) in the study group. No difference was observed between responders and nonresponders (p?>?0.05). Plasma levels of Mn, Mo, Se, and Zn are lower in children with chronic HBV infection compared to healthy children. The pretreatment levels of these elements did not show difference between responders and nonresponders to IFN-α.  相似文献
