Coenzyme Q (CoQ) deficiency occurs in genetic disorders, during aging and various diseases. Diagnosis requires skin fibroblasts in tissue culture. [3H]Mevalonate incorporation was appropriate to measure the rate of CoQ synthesis in fibroblasts and hepatoblastoma cells. [14C]p-Hydroxybenzoate had limited permeability, but it could be increased with Fugene and cyclodextrin. Inhibition of decaprenyl-4-hydroxybenzoate transferase results in the accumulation of decaprenyl diphosphate, an indicator of enzyme deficiency. Also, analysis of the corresponding mRNAs in this case is useful. In vitro assays to measure trans-prenyltransferase and decaprenyl-4-hydroxybenzoate transferase activities are not available. Neither measurement of methyltransferases is reliable in human cells. In vitro reconstruction of CoQ synthesis, in opposite to cholesterol synthesis, proved to be unsuccessful. Thus, the biochemical characterization of the CoQ biosynthetic system in human cells is restricted to a few reliable analytical procedures. 相似文献

Seven neo-clerodanes (teupolins VI–XII) and eleven known compounds were isolated and characterized from leaf extracts of Teucrium polium L., a medicinal plant used in traditional and herbal medicine for its hypolipidemic, hypoglycemic, antioxidant and antiproliferative properties. The structures of these compounds were elucidated by 1D (1H, 13C and DEPT) and 2D (COSY, TOCSY, HSQC, HMBC) NMR experiments and by mass spectrometry analysis. The complete stereostructure of each compound was defined with a NOESY experiment. Because the overexploitation of herbal remedies containing T. polium extracts has resulted in several cases of hepatitis, the hepatotoxic activity of pure metabolites against the human hepatoblastoma cancer cell line HepG2 was assessed by the MTT (3-(4,5-dimethyl-2-thiazolyl)-2,5-diphenyl-2H-tetrazolium bromide) test. All of the compounds showed low toxicity values at the highest concentration tested (200 μM). 相似文献

Hepatoblastoma is a pediatric liver tumor with epithelial components resembling embryonal and fetal liver cells. The existence of teratoid hepatoblastoma suggests the presence of stem cells in hepatoblastoma. The aim of this study was to analyze the expression of stem cell markers in hepatoblastomas. We studied specimens from 10 hepatoblastomas. Five of the hepatoblastomas were of epithelial and five of mixed type. Immunohistochemistry (IHC) for the stem cell markers CD34, Thy1, c-kit, and the hepatic or biliary lineage markers CK-18, OCH, CK-7, and CD56 was performed. Double IHC for stem cell and lineage markers was used to identify putative liver stem cells. The different markers showed distinct distributions on the tumor cells. Cells in atypical ducts were found to express simultaneously stem cell markers and hepatocytic or biliary lineage markers. Other cells in connective tissue showed c-kit expression, but not hepatic or biliary marker expression. The data show the presence of different cell populations bearing stem cell markers in human hepatoblastoma. Ductal cells co-expressing stem cell markers and hepatic lineage markers phenotypically resemble hepatic stem-like cells. These findings support the thesis that stem cells play a role in the histogenesis of hepatoblastoma. 相似文献

Drug resistance and metastasis remain major challenges in the treatment of high-risk hepatoblastoma (HB) and require the development of alternative therapeutic strategies. Modulation of apoptosis in HB cells enhances the sensitivity of these cells towards various drugs and has been discussed to enforce treatment. We investigated the impact of apoptosis sensitisers, BH3-mimetics, on the interaction between the host and HB to reduce tumour growth and dissemination while enhancing immunity. BH3-mimetics, such as obatoclax and ABT-737, enhanced the apoptosis-inducing effect of TRAIL and TNF-α resistant HB cells (HepT1 and HUH6). Tumour cell migration was inhibited by ABT-737 and more markedly by obatoclax. In an orthotopic model of HB, tumour uptake was reduced when the cells were pretreated with low concentrations of obatoclax. Only 1 of 7 mice developed HB in the liver, compared with an incidence of 0.8 in the control group. In summary, our study showed that apoptosis sensitisers had broader effects on HB cells than expected including migration and susceptibility to cytokines in addition to the known effects on drug sensitization. Sensitising HB to apoptosis may also allow resistant HB to be targeted by immune cells and prevent tumour cell dissemination. 相似文献

The biomolecular events resulting from the progression of hepatoblastoma remain to be elucidated. Fourier‐transform infrared (FTIR) and Raman spectroscopies are capable of noninvasively and accurately capturing the biochemical properties of biological tissue from its pathological status. Our aim was to probe critial biomolecular changes of liver accompanying the progression of pure foetal hepatoblastoma (PFH) by FTIR and Raman spectroscopies. Herein, biochemical alterations were both evident in the FTIR spectra (regions of 3100‐2800 cm?1 and 1800‐900 cm?1) and the Raman spectra (region of 1800‐400 cm?1) among normal, borderline and malignant liver tissues. Compared with normal tissues, the ratios of protein‐to‐lipid, α‐helix‐to‐β‐sheet, RNA‐to‐DNA, CH3 methyl‐to‐CH2 methylene, glucose‐to‐phospholipids, and unsaturated‐to‐saturated lipids intensities were significantly higher in malignant tissues, while the ratios of RNA‐to‐Amide II, DNA‐to‐Amide II, glycogen‐to‐cholesterol and Amide I‐to‐Amide II intensities were remarkably lower. These biochemical alterations in the transition from normal to malignant have profound implications not only for cyto‐pathological classification but also for molecular understanding of PFH progression. The successive changes of the spectral characteristics have been shown to be consistent with the development of PFH, indicating that FTIR and Raman spectroscopies are excellent tools to interrogate the biochemical features of different grades of PFH. 相似文献
