Monolayer formation of SaOS‐2 (human osteoblast‐like cells) was observed on VACNT (vertically aligned multiwalled carbon nanotubes) scaffolds without purification or functionalization. The VACNT were produced by a microwave plasma chemical vapour deposition on titanium surfaces with nickel or iron as catalyst. Cell viability and morphology studies were evaluated by LDH (lactate dehydrogenase) release assay and SEM (scanning electron microscopy), respectively. The non‐toxicity and the flat spreading with monolayer formation of the SaOs‐2 on VACNT scaffolds surface indicate that they can be used for biomedical applications. 相似文献

The immunophenotype of HT29 human colon cancer cells implanted into severe combined immunodeficient mice was assessed in primary
tumours and their metastases in the lungs using an indirect immunohistochemical method. After primary tumours were surgically
removed, the metastases were given time to develop, thus paralleling the clinical situation. While vimentin was negative in
both primary and secondary tumours, E-cadherin was present as membrane-bound labelling in the primary tumours only. Whereas
the markers p53, MIB1, PCNA and CEA were consistently positive in both primary and metastatic tumours, CD44 variant 6 and
CA125 were negative in metastases but positive in the primary tumours. There was a significant increase in the percentage
of cells labelled for p53 in the primary tumours compared with the metastases. For the proliferation markers, there was no
significant difference in labelling between primary tumours and metastases for MIB1. Of the cytokeratins examined, CK 20 gave
the strongest and most consistent reaction in both primary and secondary tumours. The results indicate that, for certain immunohistochemical
markers, results are the same in both primary tumours and metastases. Hence, in these cases, antigens that are expressed on
the primary tumour as well as on the metastases can serve as target molecules for immunologically based forms of treatment
of metastases.

Kallikrein, a physiologically vital serine protease, was investigated for its functional and conformational transitions during chemical (organic solvents, Gdn-HCl), thermal, and pH induced denaturation using biochemical and biophysical techniques and molecular dynamics (MD) simulations approach. The enzyme was exceptionally stable in isopropanol and ethanol showing 110% and 75% activity, respectively, after 96 h, showed moderate tolerance in acetonitrile (45% activity after 72 h) and much lower stability in methanol (40% activity after 24 h) (all the solvents [90% v/v]). Far UV CD and fluorescence spectra indicated apparent reduction in compactness of KLKp structure in isopropanol system. MD simulation studies of the enzyme in isopropanol revealed (1) minimal deviation of the structure from native state (2) marginal increase in radius of gyration and solvent accessible surface area (SASA) of the protein and the active site, and (3) loss of density barrier at the active site possibly leading to increased accessibility of substrate to catalytic triad as compared to methanol and acetonitrile. Although kallikrein was structurally stable up to 90 °C as indicated by secondary structure monitoring, it was functionally stable only up to 45 °C, implicating thermolabile active site geometry. In GdnHCl [1.0 M], 75% of the activity of KLKp was retained after incubation for 4 h, indicating its denaturant tolerance. A molten globule-like structure of KLKp formed at pH 1.0 was more thermostable and exhibited interesting structural transitions in organic solvents. The above results provide deeper understanding of functional and structural stability of the serine proteases at molecular level. 相似文献

Retention of total activity of the subtilisin-like serine protease from Beauveria sp. MTCC 5184 (Bprot) in the vicinity of (1) 3 M GdnHCl for 12 h, (2) 50 % methanol and dimethyl sulfoxide each for 24 h, and (3) proteolytic enzymes (trypsin, chymotrypsin, and proteinase K) for 48 h led to expect the enzyme to be a kinetically stable protein. Also, the structure of the protein was stable at pH 2.0. Biophysical characterization and conformational transitions were monitored using steady-state and time-resolved fluorescence, FTIR, and CD spectroscopy. Single tryptophan in the protein exists as two conformers, in hydrophobic and polar environment. The secondary structure of Bprot was stable in 3 M GdnHCl as seen in far-UV CD spectra. The active fraction of Bprot obtained from size-exclusion chromatography in the presence of GdnHCl (1.0–3.0 M) eluted at reduced retention time. The peak area of inactive or denatured protein with the same retention time as that of native protein increased with increasing concentration of denaturant (1.0–4.0 M GdnHCl). However, the kinetics of GdnHCl-induced unfolding as studied from intrinsic fluorescence revealed k unf of native protein to be 5.407 × 10?5 s?1 and a half-life of 3.56 h. The enzyme is thermodynamically stable in spite of being resistant to the denaturant, which could be due to the effect of GdnHCl imparting rigidity to the active fraction and simultaneously unfolding the partially unfolded protein that exists in equilibrium with the folded active protein. Thermal and pH denaturation of Bprot exhibited interesting structural transitions. 相似文献

Comparisons of the molecular evolutionary process at rbcL and ndhF in the grass family (Poaceae) 总被引:2,自引:1,他引:1
We examine rate heterogeneity among evolutionary lineages of the grass
family at two plasmid loci, ndhF and rbcL, and we introduce a method to
determine whether patterns of rate heterogeneity are correlated between
loci. We show both that rates of synonymous evolution are heterogeneous
among grass lineages and that are heterogeneity is correlated between loci
at synonymous sites. At nonsynonymous sites, the pattern of rate
heterogeneity is not correlated between loci, primarily due to an aberrant
pattern of rate heterogeneity at nonsynonymous sites of rbcL. We compare
patterns of synonymous rate heterogeneity to predictors based on the
generation time effect and the speciation rate hypotheses. Although there
is some evidence for generation time effects, neither generation time
effects nor speciation rates appear to be sufficient to explain patterns of
rate heterogeneity in the grass plastid sequences.

In order to rule out the possibility of omitting some individuals in the study at field visits described in previous articles,
either because of the reluctance of the subject or because of his appointment elsewhere, fertility and infertility states
of borate workers of the Borax and Acid Plants in Bandirma, Balikesir are given. Balikesir is one of the four provinces with
large borate deposits of Turkey, and Bandirma is 1 of its 19 districts. This county is relatively far away from borate deposits,
and drinking water piped out through the springs has a boron amount between 0.10 and 0.82 ppm B. That the participants are
occupationally exposed to the mineral in essence is therefore conceivable. At the first phase of the investigation, 191 workers
were interviewed, as detailed previously. Among these, there were six infertiles of the primary type with a rate 3.1%. Boron-unrelated
infertile couples among sibs were found to be 2.6–3.6%, and 3.2% for three-generation marriages—none being higher than those
revealed in different sets of controls. In the second stage of work, computerized files of all workers of the facility and
all employees of the general management sharing the same location were checked without an interview. Twenty-four subjects
(3.4%) out of 712 workers were childless versus 2.7% among 108 employees, and 2.2% among 91 workers of a distantly located
sulfuric acid plant of the same complex. The differences were not significant, and these recent findings support the conclusion
already reached almost unambiguously that boron exposure at the present levels does not interfere with human reproduction. 相似文献
