Hamster Bcl-2 Protein Is Cleaved in Vitro and in Cells by Caspase-9 and Caspase-3

2001

Full-length cDNA of hamster bcl-2 (771 nt) was cloned by RT-PCR and inserted into pGEX-4T-1 to produce the recombinant hamster Bcl-2 protein. The purified recombinant Bcl-2 protein (26.4 kDa) was used as a substrate for the active human caspase-3 and caspase-9 in vitro. It is shown here that Bcl-2 is efficiently cleaved by caspase-3 to a 23 kDa fragment. Although not possessing a putative caspase-9 cleavage site in its sequence, hamster Bcl-2 was also cleaved by caspase-9 into exactly the same 23 kDa cleavage product, indicating that cleavage occurred at the same site. Caspase-3- and caspase-9-mediated cleavage of Bcl-2 was efficiently blocked by caspase-3 (zDEVD) and caspase-9 (zLEHD) inhi…

Acyclovir Delivery Matrices Based on Poly(Ethylene Glycol)/Chitosan Semi-Interpenetrating Networks

2007

Abstract Chitosan matrix systems have been studied as potential vehicles for the prolonged release of acyclovir (ACV). The influence of chitosan concentration (from 0.83% to 1.67%) on viscoelastic properties of formulations with and without glyoxal was analyzed. For chitosan‐poly(ethylene glycol) 400 formulations loss modulus ( G ″) are greater than storage modulus ( G ′). This corresponds to the characteristic behavior of nonstructured systems. When glyoxal was added to the chitosan‐poly(ethylene glycol) 400 formulations, gelled matrix was obtained (i.e., G ′ is higher than G ″), except for the lowest chitosan concentration. ACV release rates for the both types of systems, with and without…

Some substrates and inhibitors of cytosolic epoxide hydrolase induce sister-chromatid exchanges in mammalian cells, but do not induce gene mutations …

1993

Abstract Trans -stilbene oxide, trans -β-methylstyrene, 7,8-oxide, trans -β-ethylstyrene, 7,8-oxide, trans -β-propylstyrene 7,8-oxide and 4-fluorochalcone oxide were investigated for genotoxic activity in bacterial and mammalian cells, in the absence of external xenobiotic-metabolising systems. All compounds strongly enhanced the frequency of sister-chromatid exchanges (SCE) in cultured human lymphocytes. None of them was mutagenic in Salmonella typhimurium (reversion of the his − strains TA98, TA100 and TA104). The limit of detection was 1 20,000 to 1 10 6 of the activity of the positive control, benzo[ a ]pyrene 4,5-oxide, depending on the compound and the bacterial strain. Trans -β-methy…

Squaraine Dyes for Photodynamic Therapy: Study of Their Cytotoxicity and Genotoxicity in Bacteria and Mammalian Cells¶‡

2007

Halogenated squaraine dyes are characterized by long wavelength absorption (>600 nm) and high triplet yields and therefore represent new types of photosensitizers that could be useful for photodynamic therapy. We have analyzed the cytotoxicity and genotoxicity of the bromo derivative 1, the iodo derivative 2 and the corresponding nonhalogenated dye 3 in the absence and presence of visible light. At concentrations of 1-2 microM, 1 and 2 reduced the cloning efficiency of AS52 Chinese hamster ovary cells to less than 1% under conditions that were well tolerated in the dark. Similarly, the proliferation of L5178Y mouse lymphoma cells was inhibited by photoexcited 1 and 2 with high selectivity. …

Mutagenicity of N-substituted phenanthrene 9,10-imines in Salmonella typhimurium and Chinese hamster V79 cells.

1986

We previously showed that some (nonsubstituted) aziridines derived from polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (arene imines) elicit various mutagenic and genotoxic effects in bacteria and mammalian cells and that these arene imines are active at much lower concentrations than the corresponding epoxide analogues. In the present study, N-substituted derivatives of phenanthrene 9,10-imine were investigated. All 10 derivatives studied showed direct mutagenicity in Salmonella typhimurium TA100. Some of the compounds additionally exhibited weak effects in the strains TA98 and TA1537. Most N-substituted derivatives were weaker mutagens than unsubstituted phenanthrene 9,10-imine but stronger mutagens th…

Gametic embryogenesis through isolated microspore culture in mandarin (Citrus reticulata Blanco), Mandarino Tardivo Di Ciaculli: effect of meta-Topol…

2016

Haploid technology, allowing the single-step development of complete homozygous genotypes from heterozygous plants through gametic embryogenesis, has already an enormous impact on breeding programs of many important crops. Microspore embryogenesis can be carried out through in vitro culture of anther or isolated microspore. Experiments have been carried out via isolated microspore culture in Citrus reticulata (Blanco), Mandarino Tardivo di Ciaculli, investigating the influence of two culture media, of two plant growth regulator types and of two temperature treatments applied before the culture or just after the culture. After ten months of culture, for all the media tested, different struct…

L'Alta Velocità in Cina. Politiche, strategie, territori

2014

High Speed railways in China. Policies, strategies and territories. by Marc Guigon The history of High-Speed railways in China is not a linear one, traced in the course of a rigorous planning process. It has on the contrary experienced moments of rapid surge, only to be followed by periods of slower growth. Fervid action, decision-making and euphoria have been accompanied by scathing failures, against a background of corruption and complex relations with the foreign providers of fundamental technology. The ! nal result is noteworthy however, because China currently has the largest High-Speed railroad network in the world, with a very high level of customer satisfaction, though the cost has …
