The impact of lactic acid bacteria with antimicrobial properties on biodegradation of polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons and biogenic amines in cold sm…
2017
The influence of surface treatment with lactic acid bacteria (LAB), previously cultivated in an alternative substrate, on the formation of polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) and biogenic amines (BAs) in cold smoked pork meat sausages was investigated. Moreover, sausages treatment with LAB after the smoking on PAHs content changes was evaluated. Additionally, the inhibitory effects of LAB metabolites on food spoilage bacteria was determined using the agar well diffusion assay method. The metabolites of Pediococcus acidilactici KTU05-7, Pediococcus pentosaceus KTU05-9 and Lactobacillus sakei KTU05-6 strains showed good inhibitory properties against tested pathogenic and food spoilage bac…

Hepatic responses of gene expression in juvenile brown trout (Salmo trutta lacustris) exposed to three model contaminants applied singly and in combi…
2007
Chemical pollution of the aquatic environment is almost always the result of multiple rather than single toxic compounds. The possibility of separating the effects of key risk chemicals from those of others, including their joint effects, is of clear theoretical interest and high technical importance. We addressed this goal using multiple gene expression profiling in the liver of juvenile brown trout (Salmo trutta lacustris) exposed to three model chemicals (cadmium, carbon tetrachloride [CCl4], and pyrene) administered singly, in binary and trinary combinations at low acutely sublethal concentrations, and in the partial dose–response manner. Differentially expressed genes were grouped by c…
Studies on the importance of microsomal epoxide hydrolase in the detoxification of arene oxides using the heterologous expression of the enzyme in ma…
1994
In order to investigate the role of the microsomal epoxide hydrolase (mEH) in the detoxification of arene oxides in the presence of a high endogenous glutathione S-transferase (GST) activity-a situation found in several organs--we expressed the rat mEH cDNA in BHK21 Syrian hamster cells. These cells have high GST activities but contain an extremely low endogenous mEH enzyme activity. We obtained several cell clones which expressed the mEH heterologously, as determined by immunoblotting. The cell clone BHK21-mEH/Mz1 had the highest level of mEH protein. Immunofluorescence showed that the level of expression was almost homogeneous throughout the cell population. Total protein isolated from th…
Tumor-initiating activity of the (+)-(S,S)- and (−)-(R,R)-enantiomers of trans-11,12-dihydroxy-11,12-dihydrodibenzo[a,l]pyrene in mouse skin
1999
Abstract A single administration of enantiomerically pure 11,12-dihydrodiols of dibenzo[ a,l ]pyrene (DB[ a,l ]P) on the back of NMRI mice and subsequent chronic treatment with 12- O -tetradecanoylphorbol 13-acetate (TPA) (initiation/promotion assay) revealed strikingly different carcinogenic activities of both enantiomers. Tumor-initiating activity of (−)-(11 R ,12 R )-DB[ a,l ]P-dihydrodiol, which is the metabolic precursor of the (−)- anti -(11 R ,12 S )-dihydrodiol (13 S ,14 R )-epoxide, was exceptionally higher than the corresponding effect of (+)-(11 S ,12 S )-DB[ a,l ]P-dihydrodiol, the metabolic precursor of (+)- syn -(11 S ,12 R )-dihydrodiol (13 S ,14 R )-epoxide. After topical ap…
LS104, a non-ATP-competitive small-molecule inhibitor of JAK2, is potently inducing apoptosis in JAK2V617F-positive cells
2008
Abstract The activating JAK2V617F mutation has been described in the majority of patients with BCR-ABL-negative myeloproliferative disorders (MPD). In this report, we characterize the small-molecule LS104 as a novel non-ATP-competitive JAK2 inhibitor: Treatment of JAK2V617F-positive cells with LS104 resulted in dose-dependent induction of apoptosis and inhibition of JAK2 autophosphorylation and of downstream targets. Activation of these targets by JAK2 was confirmed in experiments using small interfering RNA. LS104 inhibited JAK2 kinase activity in vitro. This effect was not reversible using elevated ATP concentrations, whereas variation of the kinase substrate peptide led to modulation of …
Detoxification of optically active bay- and fjord-region polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbon dihydrodiol epoxides by human glutathione transferase P1-1 e…
1998
Dihydrodiol epoxides (DEs) are important carcinogenic metabolites of polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs). The metabolic formation of four stereoisomeric DEs (a pair of optically active diastereomers termed as syn- and anti-form) is possible. Glutathione tranferases (GSTs) have been demonstrated to catalyze the detoxification of DEs. Purified GSTs display remarkable differences in catalytic efficiencies towards bay- and fjord-region DEs along with a high degree of regio- and stereoselectivity. Here we determined to which extent heterologously expressed human GSTP1-1, a major GST isoform in lung, affects the mutagenicity of stereoisomeric bay-region DEs of benzo[a]pyrene in Chinese hamste…
Glutathione conjugation of trans-3,4-dihydroxy 1,2-epoxy l,2,3,4-tetrahydrobenzo[c]phenanthrene isomers by human glutathione transferases
1992
Each of the four stereoisomers of trans-3,4-dihydroxy 1,2-epoxy 1,2,3,4-tetrahydrobenzo[c]phenanthrene [(+)- and (-)-anti-BPhDE and (+)- and (-)-syn-BPhDE] has been incubated with the human glutathione transferase (GST) isoenzymes GST A1-1, GST M1-1 and GST P1-1, representing class alpha, mu and pi respectively, and glutathione (GSH). The conjugates formed were analyzed by HPLC and the results demonstrate that all GST isoenzymes catalyze the formation of GSH conjugates of all BPhDE isomers. However, a marked variation in catalytic efficiencies was observed (0.122-1.28/mM/s). These values are considerably lower than those previously estimated for the bay-region diol epoxides of benzo[a]pyren…
Development of hydroxysteroid sulfotransferase-deficient lesions during hepatocarcinogenesis in rats
1993
Rat liver cytosolic hydroxysteroid sulfotransferases form highly reactive sulfuric acid esters from some benzylic alcohols, such as 1-hydroxymethylpyrene. In this study we examined the expression of hydroxysteroid sulfotransferase a (STa) in carcinogen-induced enzyme-altered, presumably preneoplastic, rat liver foci. Female Wistar rats were given a single i.p. injection of diethylnitrosamine (0.15 mumol/g body wt) 1 day after birth to induce the liver foci. After weaning, rats were given 1-hydroxymethylpyrene or phenobarbital continuously in their diet (250 or 500 p.p.m. respectively) for a total of 120 days. Carcinogen-induced liver foci were identified by a change in the marker enzyme ade…
Azione Dell'Insulina Sul Metabolismo Degli Organi Di Ratto Normale E Di Ratto Portatore Di Sarcoma Da Benzopirene
1957
Normal rats and rats bearing benzpyrene sarcoma either initial (mean weight of the growth g 3.5) or advanced (mean weight g 30-50), were fasted for 24 hours and then given 4 I.U. insulin. Tissue free amino acids level, oxygen consumption, some oxidative enzymatic activities, glycogen, total phosphorus and labile ATP phosphorus of various organs have been studied following the insulin administration. A more or less appreciable difference in the insuline action on free amino acids and oxygen consumption was noticeable between tumour- bearing and normal animals; this difference is more marked in cases of advanced tumour. Of the various aminoacids taken into consideration, aspartic acid, gluta…
