Alpha-defensins secreted by dysplastic granulocytes inhibit the differentiation of monocytes in chronic myelomonocytic leukemia.
2010
Abstract Chronic myelomonocytic leukemia (CMML) is a clonal hematopoietic disorder that occurs in elderly patients. One of the main diagnostic criteria is the accumulation of heterogeneous monocytes in the peripheral blood. We further explored this cellular heterogeneity and observed that part of the leukemic clone in the peripheral blood was made of immature dysplastic granulocytes with a CD14−/CD24+ phenotype. The proteome profile of these cells is dramatically distinct from that of CD14+/CD24− monocytes from CMML patients or healthy donors. More specifically, CD14−/CD24+ CMML cells synthesize and secrete large amounts of alpha-defensin 1-3 (HNP1-3). Recombinant HNPs inhibit macrophage co…
Complete basis set B3LYP NMR calculations of CDCl3solvent's water fine spectral details
2008
The assignment of singlet at 1.55 ppm and the 1:1:1 triplet at 1.519 ppm to H2O and HOD in the 400 MHz 1H NMR spectrum of CDCl3 solvent were supported by complete basis set (CBS) GIAO-B3LYP calculated chemical shift and the CBS B3LYP estimated 2J(D,H) spin–spin coupling constant (SSCC). The CBS fitting of B3LYP/cc-pCVxZ and B3LYP/pcJ-n predicted SSCC values, the accurate value of 2J(D,H) = − 1.082 ± 0.030 Hz of HOD in chloroform-d1 and the H/D isotopic shift of 0.0307(1) ppm were reported for the first time. The agreement between CBS B3LYP predicted chemical shift, spin–spin values and experiment was good. Copyright © 2008 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.
Galactosylated micelles for a ribavirin prodrug targeting to hepatocytes.
2013
Polymeric micelles potentially able to carry to hepatocytes a ribavirin (RBV) prodrug, exploiting the presence of carbohydrate receptors, that is, ASGPR, were prepared starting from a galactosylated polylactide-polyaminoacid conjugate. This latter was obtained by chemical reaction of α,β-poly(N-2-hydroxyethyl) (2-aminoethylcarbamate)-dl-aspartamide (PHEA-EDA) with polylactic acid (PLA), and subsequent reaction with lactose, obtaining PHEA-EDA-PLA-GAL copolymer. To enhance the entrapment into obtained nanostructures, a hydrophobic RBV prodrug, that is, RBV tripalmitate, was synthesized and its capability to release RBV in the presence of an adequate enzymatic activity was demonstrated. Liver…
Chromone and phenanthrene alkaloids from Dennettia tripetala.
2002
Dennettine, a new 2,6-dimethoxychromone and three known phenanthrene alkaloids (uvariopsine, stephenanthrine and argentinine) in addition to the phenolic and known compound vanillin were isolated from the roots of Dennettia tripetala. Their structures were determined by physical and spectroscopical one dimensional (1D) and 2D-NMR analysis, including heteronuclear multiple bond correlation and nuclear Overhauser enhancement spectroscopy.
Neutriinojen sekoitusmatriisin Majorana-vaiheet
2013
Lukuisat hiukkasfysiikan kokeet ovat vahvistaneet neutriinojen olevan massallisia hiukkasia ja kykenevän muuttumaan neutriinotyypistä toiseen. Tätä niin kutsuttua neutriino-oskillaatiota parametrisoi neutriinojen sekoitusmatriisi, jota puolestaan parametrisoi kolmen sekoituskulman lisäksi yksi tai kolme CP-symmetriaa rikkovaa vaihetta riippuen siitä ovatko neutriinot Dirac- tai Majorana-hiukkasia. Tässä työssä tarkasteltiin edellä mainittujen Dirac- ja Majorana-vaiheiden merkitystä neutriino-oskillaatioissa, neutriinonottomassa kaksoisbeetahajoamisessa, Higgsin triplettimallissa ja baryoniepäsymmetrian synnyttäneessä leptonigeneesissä. Neutriino-oskillaation tarkastelua varten johdettiin ne…
De Novo Mutations in SLC25A24 Cause a Disorder Characterized by Early Aging, Bone Dysplasia, Characteristic Face, and Early Demise
2017
International audience; A series of simplex cases have been reported under various diagnoses sharing early aging, especially evident in congenitally decreased subcutaneous fat tissue and sparse hair, bone dysplasia of the skull and fingers, a distinctive facial gestalt, and prenatal and postnatal growth retardation. For historical reasons, we suggest naming the entity Fontaine syndrome. Exome sequencing of four unrelated affected individuals showed that all carried the de novo missense variant c.649C>T (p.Arg217Cys) or c.650G>A (p.Arg217His) in SLC25A24, a solute carrier 25 family member coding for calcium-binding mitochondrial carrier protein (SCaMC-1, also known as SLC25A24). SLC25A24 all…
Astrocytic Calcium Waves Signal Brain Injury to Neural Stem and Progenitor Cells
2017
Summary Brain injuries, such as stroke or trauma, induce neural stem cells in the subventricular zone (SVZ) to a neurogenic response. Very little is known about the molecular cues that signal tissue damage, even over large distances, to the SVZ. Based on our analysis of gene expression patterns in the SVZ, 48 hr after an ischemic lesion caused by middle cerebral artery occlusion, we hypothesized that the presence of an injury might be transmitted by an astrocytic traveling calcium wave rather than by diffusible factors or hypoxia. Using a newly established in vitro system we show that calcium waves induced in an astrocytic monolayer spread to neural stem and progenitor cells and increase th…

Kinetic modelling of the intestinal transport of sarafloxacin. Studiesin situin rat andin vitroin Caco-2 cells
2005
The absorption kinetics of sarafloxacin, as a model of fluoroquinolone structure, were studied in the rat small intestine and in Caco-2 cells. The objective of the study was to investigate the mechanistic basis of the drug's intestinal transport in comparison with other members of the fluoroquinolone family and to apply a mathematical modelling approach to the transport process. In the rat small intestine, sarafloxacin showed dual mechanisms of intestinal absorption with a passive diffusional component and an absorptive carrier-mediated component. The characteristics of the animal study design made it suitable for population analysis, thus allowing the accurate estimation of transport param…
