We have constructed new B domain deletion derivatives of human factor VIII (FVIII) by manipulating the cDNA using recombinant DNA techniques. One of these new derivatives, FVIII delta II, in which amino acids 771(pro)-1666(asp) have been deleted, no longer contains the protease cleavage site at amino acid position 1648(arg)-1649(glu) known to be involved in the initial step of FVIII processing. We have expressed this molecule in both baby hamster kidney (BHK) 21 cells using the vaccinia virus (VV) expression system and have established Chinese hamster ovary (CHO) derived permanent cell lines expressing either recombinant (r)FVIII or FVIII delta II. The characteristics of FVIII delta II have been compared to those of rFVIII and/or plasma derived (pd) FVIII. FVIII delta II has the following properties: (i) it exhibits FVIII procoagulant activity; (ii) it is expressed at 5-fold higher levels than is the complete molecule in comparable systems; (iii) it migrates for the most part as a single major band on SDS-PAGE, in contrast to the complete molecule; (iv) it is activated to a greater extent by thrombin than is either rFVIII or pdFVIII; and (v) it retains the ability to bind von Willebrand factor (vWf). 相似文献

Plasma and cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) concentrations of amino acids were measured in 65 healthy volunteers (50 men and 15 women). The CSF levels of the monoamine metabolites homovanillic acid (HVA), 3-methoxy-4-hydroxyphenylethylene glycol (MOPEG), and 5-hydroxyindoleacetic acid (5-HIAA) were also determined. Sex differences were observed in both plasma and CSF amino acid levels as well as in the relationship between these concentrations. No significant correlations were observed between the CSF levels of HVA and 5-HIAA, and the concentrations of their precursor amino acids in either plasma or CSF. The MOPEG level in CSF correlated positively with the plasma concentrations of several amino acids. 相似文献

A high-performance liquid chromatographic method for the analysis of sulpiride, N-ethyl-2-(2-methoxy-5-sulphonamido-benzamido-methyl)-pyrrolidine, in body fluids is described. A structurally related compound, N-ethyl-2-(2,4-dimethoxy-benzamido-methyl)-pyrrolidine, was used as internal standard.A fluorescence detector with excitation maximum at 299 nm and emission maximum at 342 nm was used for the quantitation. The detection limit was about 10 ng/ml in serum and cerebrospinal fluid and about 200 ng/ml in urine. The experimental error was 5–10% in the concentration range 25–100 ng/ml. Some preliminary data from a pharmacokinetic study in healthy volunteers are presented. The half-life for sulpiride in serum was about 8 h. Sulpiride was also measured in cerebrospinal fluid from five drug-treated psychotic patients. 相似文献

Transforming growth factor-beta 1 inhibition of macrophage activation is mediated via Smad3 总被引:5,自引:0,他引:5

Activated macrophages are critical cellular participants in inflammatory disease states. Transforming growth factor (TGF)-beta1 is a growth factor with pleiotropic effects including inhibition of immune cell activation. Although the pathway of gene activation by TGF-beta1 via Smad proteins has recently been elucidated, suppression of gene expression by TGF-beta1 remains poorly understood. We found that of Smad1-Smad7, Smad3 alone was able to inhibit expression of markers of macrophage activation (inducible nitric-oxide synthase and matrix metalloproteinase-12) following lipopolysaccharide treatment in gene reporter assays. Transient and constitutive overexpression of a dominant negative Smad3 opposed the inhibitory effect of TGF-beta1. Domain swapping experiments suggest that both the Smad MH-1 and MH-2 domains are required for inhibition. Mutation of a critical amino acid residue required for DNA binding in the MH-1 of Smad3 (R74A) resulted in the loss of inhibition. Transient overexpression of p300, an interactor of the Smad MH-2 domain, partially alleviated the inhibition by TGF-beta1/Smad3, suggesting that inhibition of gene expression may be due to increased competition for limiting amounts of this coactivator. Our results have implications for the understanding of gene suppression by TGF-beta1 and for the regulation of activated macrophages by TGF-beta1. 相似文献

Plasma levels of atrial natriuretic peptide (ANP) and the effect of exogenous ANP on renal function have been studied in newborn and adult rabbits. In order to investigate an age difference in responsiveness to ANP, we studied the renal effects of alpha-human ANP (1-28) administered at the same dose per kg body weight in adult and neonatal rabbits. Plasma basal ANP levels were similar in 18 newborn (4- to 11-day-old) compared to 7 adult rabbits (150 +/- 16 and 151 +/- 28 pg/ml, resp.). Eleven newborn and 11 adult rabbits were anesthetized and mechanically ventilated. After a control period, each animal received an hANP loading dose (3 micrograms/kg i.v.), followed by an infusion of 0.3 micrograms/kg/min. Blood gases remained stable throughout the experiment in both groups. Mean blood pressure decreased in newborn (28.5 +/- 0.8 to 26.2 +/- 1.0 mmHg) and adult (92 +/- 3 to 84 +/- 3 mmHg) animals. Percent hANP-induced changes in renal functions in newborn and adult rabbits were, respectively: urine flow rate: -21 +/- 4% and +57 +/- 8%; urinary sodium excretion: +4 +/- 7% and +81 +/- 11%; glomerular filtration rate (GFR): -19 +/- 4% and -4 +/- 6%; renal blood flow (RBF): -22 +/- 4% and -11 +/- 5%. As expected, diuresis and natriuresis increased in adult rabbits. Failure of hANP to increase natriuresis and diuresis in newborn rabbits could be related to the marked decrease in GFR, receptor immaturity and/or interactions with other hormonal systems. 相似文献

Patients with schizophrenia have in different studies shown reduced niacin sensitivity and lower electrodermal activity (EDA) after auditory stimulation. Peripheral mediation of prostaglandins may have a physiological role in both responses. This motivates study of both niacin response and electrodermal responding in the same patients with schizophrenia. Thirty patients with schizophrenia and 17 controls were investigated with EDA and thereafter given 200mg niacin orally with continuous assessment of skin temperature. The patients showed a delayed temperature increase after niacin ingestion (P=0.002) and a higher frequency of electrodermal non-responding (P<0.05). Response/non-response for niacin correlated with EDA response/non-response in the patient group (P=0.009). The niacin test revealed a slower vasodilation reaction in the patients. The association between response patterns for the niacin test and EDA suggests that a common aberration in skin physiology may be of importance for both reactions in schizophrenia. 相似文献

The aim of this study was to evaluate the effect of insulin on the release of vWf in vivo during an oral glucose tolerance test (OGTT) performed in normal, glucose-intolerant and diabetic subjects and in vitro on human endothelial cells. Twenty-eight subjects exhibiting risk factors for diabetes underwent an OGTT: 11 subjects proved to be normal, 7 were glucose-intolerant and 10 diabetic. In each group, the vWf and PAI-1 plasmatic levels were measured at t = 0, 30 min and 180 min after the beginning of the test. Human endothelial cells from non-diabetic and diabetic subjects were incubated in the presence of human insulin at various concentrations (0.25, 2.5, 25 and 250 mUI/ml). After 1, 4, and 24 hours of incubation, the release of vWf and endothelin 1 was measured in the cell supernatant and the intracellular amount of vWf in the cell lysate. During the OGTT, the vWf levels in plasma were not affected despite a 4.5-, 6-, and 2.5-fold increase in insulin levels in normal, glucose-intolerant and diabetic subjects, respectively. Although raised in all three groups, PAI-1 plasmatic levels remained constant during the test. After 24 hours of exposure to insulin (0.25 mU/ml), the release of vWf by endothelial cells reached 35.94 +/- 23.08 % of the basal value for non-diabetic subjects, and 27.57 +/- 10.05 % for diabetic patients. Similar results were observed in non-stimulated cells. Insulin had no influence on intracellular vWf content, which remained comparable to control values. Regardless of its concentration, insulin failed to stimulate the release of vWf by endothelial cells of non-diabetic and diabetic subjects, while its ability to stimulate the release of endothelin 1 was preserved. In conclusion, hyperinsulinemia had no adverse effect on circulating vWf in normal or diabetic subjects. Neither release nor intracellular vWf content in non-diabetic or diabetic endothelial cells was influenced by insulin in vitro. 相似文献

Summary The purpose of this phase I study was to evaluate the toxicity and biological activity of autologous blood-derived macrophages activated ex-vivo with recombinant human interferon (rhuIFN) [monokine-activated killer (MAK) cells] and administered intravenously to 11 lung cancer patients once a week for 6 consecutive weeks. Peripheral blood monocytes were collected by leukapheresis and then purified by counterflow elutriation. The MAK cells were generated by culturing the purified monocytes in Teflon bags for 7 days and adding rhuIFN to the cultured cells for the last 18 h. These MAK cells expressed differentiation-associated surface antigen MAX1, and were cytotoxic in vitro against tumour cell line U937. The MAK cells were infused at dose levels from 1 × 107 to 5 × 108 on an intrapatient dose-escalating schedule. No severe adverse side-effects occurred. Toxicity was mild to moderate [primarly fever (75%) and chills (32%)], non-dose-dependent, and non-cumulative. No consistent change in haemostatic function, or liver or renal function was observed. Dose-limiting toxicity was not reached at 5 × 108 cells (optimal dose reproduced for each patient). The maximum tolerated dose was not determined. The immunomodulatory activity of i.v. infused MAK cells was demonstrated both in vivo by significant increases in granulocyte count and neopterin level in the patients' peripheral blood postinfusion and in vitro by secretory products (IL-1. TNF, neopterin, and thromboplastin-like substance) in the culture supernatants. The in vivo traffic patterns of autologous MAK cells labelled ex-vivo with111In oxine were studied in 7 patients. Gamma imaging showed an immediate but transient lung uptake (<24 h), and a progressive uptake of radioactivity in the liver and spleen was seen from 6 h to 72 h post-infusion. Our results indicate that the preparation of high numbers of autologous, blood-derived MAK cells is a feasible procedure, and their transfusion is safe for patients. This immunotherapeutic approach seems to be encouraging from the point of view of establishing an adjuvant therapeutic modality in cancer patients with minimal residual disease.This work was supported in part by a grant 6911 from the Association pour la Recherche contre le Cancer (ARC), grants from the Ligue Nationale contre le cancer and the Ligues Regionales (Bas-Rhin, Haut-Rhin) contre le cancer, and contract 891013 from the Institut National pour la Santé et la Recherche Médicale (INSERM), France 相似文献
