Heart failure with preserved ejection fraction (HFpEF) is a common clinical syndrome associated with high morbidity and mortality. Therapeutic options are limited due to a lack of knowledge of the pathology and its evolution. We investigated the cellular phenotype and Ca2+ handling in hearts recapitulating HFpEF criteria. HFpEF was induced in a portion of male Wistar rats four weeks after abdominal aortic banding. These animals had nearly normal ejection fraction and presented elevated blood pressure, lung congestion, concentric hypertrophy, increased LV mass, wall stiffness, impaired active relaxation and passive filling of the left ventricle, enlarged left atrium, and cardiomyocyte hypertrophy. Left ventricular cell contraction was stronger and the Ca2+ transient larger. Ca2+ cycling was modified with a RyR2 mediated Ca2+ leak from the sarcoplasmic reticulum and impaired Ca2+ extrusion through the Sodium/Calcium exchanger (NCX), which promoted an increase in diastolic Ca2+. The Sarcoplasmic/endoplasmic reticulum Ca2+ ATPase (SERCA2a) and NCX protein levels were unchanged. The phospholamban (PLN) to SERCA2a ratio was augmented in favor of an inhibitory effect on the SERCA2a activity. Conversely, PLN phosphorylation at the calmodulin-dependent kinase II (CaMKII)-specific site (PLN-Thr17), which promotes SERCA2A activity, was increased as well, suggesting an adaptive compensation of Ca2+ cycling. Altogether our findings show that cardiac remodeling in hearts with a HFpEF status differs from that known for heart failure with reduced ejection fraction. These data also underscore the interdependence between systolic and diastolic “adaptations” of Ca2+ cycling with complex compensative interactions between Ca2+ handling partner and regulatory proteins. 相似文献

TRAPP is a multisubunit complex that functions in membrane traffic. Mutations in the mammalian TRAPP protein C2 are linked to the skeletal disorder spondyloepiphyseal dysplasia tarda (SEDT) that is thought to arise from an inability to secrete procollagen from the endoplasmic reticulum. Here, we show that C2 binds to the SNARE protein Syntaxin 5 and this interaction is weakened by an SEDT‐causing missense mutation (D47Y). Interestingly, the equivalent mutation (D46Y) in the yeast C2 homolog Trs20p does not block anterograde traffic but did affect endocytosis. The trs20D46Y mutation interfered with the interaction between Trs20p and Trs85p (TRAPP III‐specific subunit), Trs120p and Trs130p (TRAPP II‐specific subunits). Size exclusion chromatography suggested that this yeast mutation destabilized the TRAPP III complex that is involved in autophagy. We further show that this mutation blocks both the selective cytosol‐to‐vacuole (cvt) pathway as well as non‐selective autophagy. We demonstrate that the apparent molecular size of the TRAPP III complex is dependent upon membranes, and that the presence of TRAPP III is dependent upon Atg9p. Finally, we demonstrate that lipidated Bet3p is enriched in TRAPP III and that lipidation increases the efficiency of autophagy. Our study suggests that Trs20p acts as an adaptor for Trs85p and Trs120p and reveals complexities in TRAPP III assembly and function. The implications of C2D47Y in SEDT are discussed . 相似文献

AbstractThe interaction ability of bovine serum albumin (BSA) with 2,6-divanillylidenecyclohexanone (DVH) as a stable curcumin derivative was investigated using fluorescence and circular dichroism (CD) spectroscopy techniques under simulative physiological conditions (pH = 7.2). Following the obtained results of binding studies, bovine serum albumin nanoparticles (BSANPs) were synthesized and characterized using Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FT-IR), filed emission scanning electron microscopy (FE-SEM), atomic force microscope (AFM) and dynamic light scattering (DLS). The stable BSANPs showed a spherical shape with a diameter of 149.14?±?46.69?nm and the formulation of BSA had no change during the fabrication process. DVH was loaded on BSANPs (DVH@BSANPs) and the release studies showed sustained release of DVH from BSANPs. The validation of DVH@BSANPs system confirmed that the Fickian release mechanism of DVH followed on Korsmeyer–Pepas model. The in vitro studies on HFFF2 and MDA-MB-231 were investigated using MTT assay, DAPI and annexinV/PI staining that showed biocompatible BSANPs reduced the cytotoxicity of DVH in normal cell lines significantly, and antitumor activity of DVH was increased when it was loaded onto BSANPs without necrosis. These results suggest that DVH@BSANPs are a novel biocompatible sustained release system for effective therapeutic approach.Communicated by Ramaswamy H. Sarma 相似文献

Little is known about the chronopharmacokinetics of loratadine, a long‐acting tricyclic antihistamine H1 widely used in the treatment of allergic diseases. Hence, the pharmacokinetics of loratadine and its major metabolite, desloratadine, were investigated after a 20 mg/kg dose of loratadine had been orally administered to comparable groups of mice (n=33), synchronized for three weeks to 12 h light (rest span)/12 h dark (activity span). The drug was administered at three different circadian times (1, 9, and 17 h after light onset [HALO]). Multiple blood samples were collected over 48 h, and plasma concentrations of loratadine and desloratadine were determined by high performance liquid chromatography. There were no significant differences in Tmax of loratadine and desloratadine between treatment‐time different groups. However, the elimination half‐life (t1/2) of the parent compound and its metabolite was significantly longer (p<0.01) following administration at 9 HALO (t1/2 loratadine and desloratadine 5.62 and 4.08 h at 9 HALO vs. 4.29 and 2.6 h at 17 HALO vs. 3.26 and 3.27 at 1 HALO). There were relevant (p<0.05) differences in Cmax between the three treated groups for loratadine and desloratadine; 133.05±3.55 and 258.07±14.45 ng/mL at 9 HALO vs. 104.5±2.61 and 188.62±7.20 ng/mL at 1 HALO vs. 94.33±20 and 187.75±10.79 ng/mL at 17 HALO. Drug dosing at 17 HALO resulted in highest loratadine and desloratadine total apparent clearance values: 61.46 and 15.97 L/h/kg, respectively, whereas loratadine and desloratadine clearances (CL) were significantly slower (p<0.05) at the other administration times (loratadine and desloratadine CL was 57.3 and 14.22 L/h/kg at 1 HALO vs. 43.79 and 12.89 L/h/kg at 9 HALO, respectively). The area under the concentration‐time curve (AUC) of loratadine and desloratadine was significantly (p<0.05) greater following drug administration at 9 HALO (456.75 and 1550.57 (ng/mL) · h, respectively); it was lowest following treatment at 17 HALO (325.39 and 1252.53 (ng/mL) · h, respectively). These pharmacokinetic data indicate that the administration time of loratadine significantly affected its pharmacokinetics: the elimination of loratadine and its major metabolite desloratadine. 相似文献

The greenbug, Schizaphis graminum (Rondani) (Hemiptera: Aphididae) has been known as a major pest of small grains, particularly wheat, worldwide. In this study, the effect of new wheat cultivar (Pishgam) for cold regions on biological characteristics of greenbug was investigated in a greenhouse at 25 ± 2 °C, 55 ± 10% relative humidity and a photoperiod of 16:8 h (L:D). The raw data were analysed based on the age-stage, two-sex life table. The intrinsic rate of increase (r), the finite rate of increase (λ), the net reproduction rate (R0) and the mean generation time (T) of greenbug were 0.313 ± 0.0019, 1.36 ± 0.0027 females/female/day, 83.33 ± 0.331 females/female and 14.11 ± 0.09 days, respectively. The life expectancy of a nymph is 43.57 days. The maximum reproductive value of females is on the 16th day which coincides with the total pre-reproduction period counted from birth. Hence, the present results may provide helpful information for comprehensive IPM programme of greenbug on this variety in cold regions of Iran. Result revealed that nymphal survival rate of the aphid was 100% on studied cultivar like that on sensitive host plant cultivar. 相似文献

YKL-40 is a chitin-binding protein that is elevated in patients with various inflammatory conditions associated with ongoing remodeling. We investigated whether the levels of YKL-40 were up-regulated in the circulation and the airways of patients with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), and whether it promoted the production of inflammatory mediators from macrophages. Serum, bronchoalveolar lavage (BAL), bronchial biopsies, lung tissue specimens, and alveolar macrophages from never-smokers (n = 15), smokers without COPD (n = 20), and smokers with COPD (n = 30) were assessed for YKL-40 levels and immunolocalization. In addition, YKL-40-induced mediator release from alveolar macrophages was examined. We found that smokers with COPD had elevated levels of YKL-40 in serum (p = 0.027) and BAL (p = 0.007), more YKL-40-positive cells in bronchial biopsies (p = 0.03), and a greater proportion of alveolar macrophages expressing YKL-40 than smokers without COPD or never-smokers. YKL-40 levels in serum and BAL were associated with airflow obstruction (pre-beta(2) agonist forced expiratory volume in 1 s, r(s) = -0.3892, p = 0.0072 and r(s) = -0.5491, p < 0.0001, respectively) and impaired diffusion lung capacity (transfer factor of the lung for carbon monoxide, r(s) = -0.4667, p = 0.002 and r(s) = -0.3854, p = 0.0045, respectively). TNF-alpha stimulated YKL-40 synthesis in alveolar macrophages from smokers with COPD, and exposure of these cells to YKL-40 promoted the release of IL-8, MCP-1, MIP-1alpha, and metalloproteinase-9. We conclude that YKL-40 is up-regulated in COPD, in which it may contribute to tissue inflammation and remodeling by sustaining the synthesis of proinflammatory and fibrogenic chemokines and of metalloproteinases by alveolar macrophages. 相似文献

Growing interest in the sources of origin of blood vessel related diseases has led to an increasing knowledge about the heterogeneity and plasticity of endothelial cells lining arteries and veins. So far, most of these studies were performed on animal models. Here, we hypothesized that the plasticity of human fetal endothelial cells depends on their vascular bed of origin i.e. vein or artery and further that the differences between arterial and venous endothelial cells would extend to phenotype and genotype. We established a method for the isolation of fetal arterial and venous endothelial cells from the human placenta and studied the characteristics of both cell types. Human placental arterial endothelial cells (HPAEC) and human placental venous endothelial cells (HPVEC) express classical endothelial markers and differ in their phenotypic, genotypic, and functional characteristics: HPAEC are polygonal cells with a smooth surface growing in loose arrangements and forming monolayers with classical endothelial cobblestone morphology. They express artery-related genes (hey-2, connexin 40, depp) and more endothelial-associated genes than HPVEC. Functional testing demonstrated that vascular endothelial growth factors (VEGFs) induce a higher proliferative response on HPAEC, whereas placental growth factors (PlGFs) are only effective on HPVEC. HPVEC are spindle-shaped cells with numerous microvilli at their surface. They grow closely apposed to each other, form fibroblastoid swirling patterns at confluence and have shorter generation and population doubling times than HPAEC. HPVEC overexpress development-associated genes (gremlin, mesenchyme homeobox 2, stem cell protein DSC54) and show an enhanced differentiation potential into adipocytes and osteoblasts in contrast to HPAEC. These data provide collective evidence for a juvenile venous and a more mature arterial phenotype of human fetal endothelial cells. The high plasticity of the fetal venous endothelial cells may reflect their role as tissue-resident endothelial progenitors during embryonic development with a possible benefit for regenerative cell therapy. 相似文献
