The histone deacetylase sirtuin 2 is a new player in the regulation of platelet function

2015

SummaryBackground Histone deacetylases (HDACs) play a key role in signaling in many cell types. However, little is known about the participation of HDACs, particularly sirtuins (SIRTs), in platelet reactivity. Objective To investigate the role of HDACs in platelets, we examined the effects of SIRT inhibition on platelet function and protein acetylation in human platelets. Methods We used washed platelets obtained from healthy subjects. Cambinol (SIRT1 and SIRT2 inhibitor), AGK2 (specific SIRT2 inhibitor) and EX527 (specific SIRT1 inhibitor) were used as SIRT inhibitors. Platelets were stimulated with collagen, thrombin, or U46619, and platelet responses were determined according to optical …

The origin of lecithodesmus (Digenea: Campulidae) based on ND3 gene comparison

2000

Species of Lecithodesmus (Campulidae) occur almost exclusively in baleen whales throughout a wide geographical distribution. Other campulids occur only in odontocetes and, secondarily, in pinnipeds and the sea otter. Therefore, the ancestor of Lecithodesmus might have either cospeciated with mysticetes during the early divergence of mysticete and odontocete cetaceans or originated later via host switching. We evaluate both possibilities based on a phylogenetic analysis. The ND3 mitochondrial gene sequence of a species of Lecithodesmus was included in a previous partial molecular phylogeny of the Campulidae. Fasciola hepatica and Dicrocoelium dendriticum were used as outgroups. Maximum parsi…
