Fibroblast growth factor 6 (FGF6) is selectively expressed during muscle development and regeneration. We examined its effect on muscle precursor cells (mpc) by forcing stable FGF6 expression in C2C12 cells in vitro. FGF6 produced in genetically engineered mpc was active, inducing strong morphological changes, altering cell adhesion and compromising their ability to differentiate into myotubes. Expression of MyoD and myogenin, but not of Myf5, was abrogated in FGF6 engineered mpc. These effects were reversed by FGF inhibitors. Ectopic expression of MyoD also restored fiber formation indicating that FGF6 interferes with the myogenic differentiation pathway upstream of MyoD. We also report that in the presence of FGF6, the minor (0.5-2%) subpopulation of cells actively excluding Hoechst 33342 in a verapamil-dependent manner (SP phenotype) was increased to 15-20% and the expression of the mdr1a gene (but not mdr1b) was upregulated by 400-fold. Our data establish a previously undescribed link between FGF6--a muscle specific growth factor--and a multidrug resistance gene expressed in stem cells, and suggest a role for FGF6 in the maintenance of a reserve pool of progenitor cells in the skeletal muscle.  相似文献

The mouse mdr1a and mdr1b genes are expressed in skeletal muscle, though their precise role in muscle is unknown. Dystrophic muscle is characterized by repeated cycles of degeneration and regeneration. To explore the role of the mdr1 genes during muscle regeneration, we have created a triple knockout mouse lacking the mdr1a, mdr1b, and the dystrophin genes. The resulting ReX mice developed normally and were fertile. However, as adults, ReX had a higher proportion of degenerating muscle fibers and greater long-term loss of muscle mass than mdx. ReX muscles were also characterized by a reduced proportion of muscle side population (mSP) cells, of myogenic cells, and a reduced capacity for muscle regeneration. We found too that mSP cells derived from dystrophic muscle are more myogenic than those from normal muscle. Thus, in dystrophic muscle, the mdr1 gene plays an important role in the preservation of the mSP and of the myogenic regenerative potential. Moreover, our results suggest a hitherto unappreciated role of mdr1 in precursor cells of regenerating tissue; they therefore provide an important clue to the physiological significance of mdr1 expression in stem cells.  相似文献

Aim

The main purpose of this work was to develop a pharmacokinetic model for the bone pain palliation agent Samarium-153 ethylenediamine tetramethylene phosphonate ([153Sm]-EDTMP) in normal rats to analyze the behavior of the complex.

Background

The use of compartmental analysis allows a mathematical separation of tissues and organs to determine the concentration of activity in each fraction of interest. Biodistribution studies are expensive and difficult to carry out in humans, but such data can be obtained easily in rodents.

Materials and methods

We have developed a physiologically based pharmacokinetic model for scaling up activity concentration in each organ versus time. The mathematical model uses physiological parameters including organ volumes, blood flow rates, and vascular permabilities; the compartments (organs) are connected anatomically. This allows the use of scale-up techniques to predict new complex distribution in humans in each organ.

Results

The concentration of the radiopharmaceutical in various organs was measured at different times. The temporal behavior of biodistribution of 153Sm-EDTMP was modeled and drawn as a function of time.

Conclusions

The variation of pharmaceutical concentration in all organs is described with summation of 6–10 exponential terms and it approximates our experimental data with precision better than 2%.  相似文献

In this work, a novel electrochemical technique has been developed for determination of nanomolar concentration of sodium valproate in flow-injection systems. The detection was done by adsorptive fast Fourier transform coulometric (AFFTC), in which the potential waveform consists of potential steps for cleaning, accumulation, and a potential ramp that was continuously applied on an Au disk microelectrode. Moreover, a special computer program is introduced based on numerical method, for calculation of the analyte signal (which is the partial and total charge exchanges at the electrode surface) and noise reduction. The optimum parameters were: pH value of 2.0, scan rate value of 40 Vs(-1), accumulation potential of 200 mV and accumulation time of 0.3 s. Detection limit of the method for sodium valproate was 9.0x10(-9) M. The relative standard deviation of the method at 1.3x10(-7) M was 2.0% for 10 runs.  相似文献
