Recent studies suggest a close relationship between cell metabolism and apoptosis. We have evaluated changes in lipid metabolism on permeabilized hepatocytes treated with truncated Bid (tBid) in the presence of caspase inhibitors and exogenous cytochrome c. The measurement of beta-oxidation flux by labeled palmitate demonstrates that tBid inhibits beta-oxidation, thereby resulting in the accumulation of palmitoyl-coenzyme A (CoA) and depletion of acetyl-carnitine and acylcarnitines, which is pathognomonic for inhibition of carnitine palmitoyltransferase-1 (CPT-1). We also show that tBid decreases CPT-1 activity by a mechanism independent of both malonyl-CoA, the key inhibitory molecule of CPT-1, and Bak and/or Bax, but dependent on cardiolipin decrease. Overexpression of Bcl-2, which is able to interact with CPT-1, counteracts the effects exerted by tBid on beta-oxidation. The unexpected role of tBid in the regulation of lipid beta-oxidation suggests a model in which tBid-induced metabolic decline leads to the accumulation of toxic lipid metabolites such as palmitoyl-CoA, which might become participants in the apoptotic pathway. 相似文献

Cytogenetic abnormalities, such as DNA amplifications and deletions, often lead to significant changes in gene expression levels within a chromosomal region. Instead of generating additional DNA copy number data, one method to identify DNA copy number abnormalities has been to search existing gene expression data for regional perturbations in gene expression. However, it is not clear how well this surrogate method performs in the examination of individual tumors and how we can use both DNA and RNA data to identify candidate genes that may be mutated. Here we report a comparison study using summarized DNA and RNA data to identify chromosomal abnormalities in human samples. Forty-four tissue samples from patients diagnosed as having renal cell carcinoma (RCC) were collected, together with 15 normal kidney samples as controls, and for each sample the genome-wide DNA and RNA data were obtained for comparison using Affymetrix 100K SNP and HGU133plus2 gene expression chips, respectively. The DNA and RNA data was summarized by both chromosome arm and cytogenetic banding patterns and compared. The result of this analysis revealed that the two summarized data sets used to identify cytogenetic changes agreed well. However, some differences between the two were also identified. These differences of large-scale gene expression deregulation without evidence of the comparable DNA copy number alterations may be the result of known mechanisms, such as large-scale methylation or chromosome inactivation, or may be the result of some new mechanism of DNA-RNA translation. The usefulness of the combined data set for identifying regions of mutated genes is also discussed. 相似文献

Switch control pocket inhibitors of p38-alpha kinase are described. Durable type II inhibitors were designed which bind to arginines (Arg67 or Arg70) that function as key residues for mediating phospho-threonine 180 dependant conformational fluxing of p38-alpha from an inactive type II state to an active type I state. Binding to Arg70 in particular led to potent inhibitors, exemplified by DP-802, which also exhibited high kinase selectivity. Binding to Arg70 obviated the requirement for binding into the ATP Hinge region. X-ray crystallography revealed that DP-802 and analogs induce an enhanced type II conformation upon binding to either the unphosphorylated or the doubly phosphorylated form of p38-alpha kinase. 相似文献

The first gram-scale syntheses of two hyaluronan disaccharides are described. Construction of the (1-->4)-linked disaccharide 12 was achieved in 12% overall yield using 2,3-bis-dimethyl acetal protection in combination with chlorosilane-induced carbamate cleavage methodologies. The uronic acid functionality was installed using TEMPO oxidation with NaOCl as the hypochlorite source. The (1-->3)-linked disaccharide 18 was achieved in 7% overall yield utilizing acetonide protection in addition to the chlorosilane-induced carbamate cleavage methodology and the TEMPO oxidation. 相似文献

Huntingtin (htt) is a scaffold protein localized at the subcellular level and is involved in coordinating the activity of several protein for signaling and intracellular transport. The emerging properties of htt in intracellular trafficking prompted us to study the role of mutant htt (polyQ-htt) in the intracellular fate of epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR), whose activity seems to be strictly regulated by htt. In particular, to evaluate whether protein trafficking dysfunction occurs in non-neuronal cells in the absence of functional htt, we monitored the EGFR protein in fibroblasts from homozygotic HD patients and their healthy counterpart. We found that polyQ-htt controls EGFR degradation and recycling. Lack of wild‐type htt caused alteration of the ubiquitination cycle, formation of EGFR-incorporating high-molecular weight protein aggregates and abnormal EGFR distribution in endosomes of the degradation and recycling pathways after EGF stimulation. PolyQ-htt-induced alteration of EGFR trafficking affected cell migration and proliferation, at least in part, through inhibition of ERK signaling. To our knowledge the data here reported represent the first signaling and phenotypic characterization of polyQ-htt involvement in the modulation of growth factor stimulation in non-neuronal cells. 相似文献

Neural stem cells (NSCs) raised the hope for cell-based therapies in human neurodevelopmental and neurodegenerative diseases. Current research strategies aim to isolate, enrich, and propagate homogeneous populations of neural stem cells. Unfortunately, several concerns with NSC cultures currently may limit their therapeutic promise. Exhaustion of growth factors and/or their uncontrolled release with burst and fall in their concentration may greatly affect the in vitro behavior of NSCs. In this context, we investigate whether a device containing heparan sulfate (HS), which is a co-factor in growth factor-mediated cell proliferation and differentiation, could potentiate and prolong the delivery of fibroblast growth factor-2 (FGF-2) and thus improve in vitro NSC cultivation. We demonstrated that NSCs cultivated in media with a controlled release of FGF-2 from a polyelectrolyte polymer showed a higher proliferation rate, and reduced apoptosis and senescence. In these experimental conditions NSCs preserve their stemness properties for a longer period of time compared with controls. Also of interest is that cell fate properties are conserved as well. The controlled release of FGF-2 reduced the level of oxidative stress and this is associated with a lower level of damaged DNA. This result may explain the reduced level of senescence and apoptosis in NSCs cultivated in the presence of hydrogel-releasing FGF-2. 相似文献
