A Brief Review of Ground Penetrating Radar Investigation Results of Ice Caps on Galindez, Winter and Skua Islands (Wilhelm Archipelago, Antarctica) f…
2019
This paper represents results of GPR surveying of the ice caps on Galindez (–64.24716W; –65.24992S), Winter (–64.25954W; –65.24944S) and Skua (–64.26530W; –65.25309S) islands (Wilhelm Archipelago, Antarctica) for the period April 2017 — January 2019. The main objectives were identification of the ice layering, monitoring of interglacial heterogeneities (crevasses, interglacial channels and voids) and measurements of the ice thickness. Methods: Surveying on the glaciers has been done with ground coupled shielded bowtie antenna VIY3-300 (300 MHz) GPR and with air coupled dipole Zond 12-e (75 MHz) antenna system. Monitoring investigation of glacier’s interior has been done with VIY3-300. Zond …
Reorganization of Nuclear Domain 10 Induced by Papillomavirus Capsid Protein L2
2002
AbstractNuclear domains (ND) 10 are associated with proteins implicated in transcriptional regulation, growth suppression, and apoptosis. We now show that the minor capsid protein L2 of human papillomavirus (HPV) type 33 induces a reorganization of ND10-associated proteins. Whereas the promyelocytic leukemia protein, the major structural component of ND10, was unaffected by L2, Sp100 was released from ND10 upon L2 expression. The total cellular amount of Sp100, but not of Sp100 mRNA, decreased significantly, suggesting degradation of Sp100. Proteasome inhibitors induced the dispersal of Sp100 and inhibited the nuclear translocation of L2. In contrast to Sp100, Daxx was recruited to ND10 by …
Dissection of human papillomavirus type 33 L2 domains involved in nuclear domains (ND) 10 homing and reorganization
2003
Abstract We have recently shown that the minor capsid protein L2 of human papillomavirus type 33 (HPV33) recruits the transcriptional repressor Daxx into nuclear domains (ND) 10 and causes the loss of the transcriptional activator Sp100 from these subnuclear structures (Florin et al., 2002b) . In order to dissect L2 domains involved in nuclear translocation, ND10 homing, loss of Sp100, and recruitment of Daxx, a detailed deletion mutagenesis of L2 was performed. Using immunofluorescence and green fluorescent protein fusions, we have identified two nuclear localization signals (NLS) in the central and C-terminal part of L2, respectively, homologous to previously identified NLS in HPV6B L2 (S…
Prolonging in utero-like oxygenation after birth diminishes oxidative stress in the lung and brain of mice pups☆
2013
Background Fetal-to-neonatal transition is associated with oxidative stress. In preterm infants, immaturity of the antioxidant system favours supplemental oxygen-derived morbidity and mortality. Objectives To assess if prolonging in utero-like oxygenation during the fetal-to-neonatal transition limits oxidative stress in the lung and brain, improving postnatal adaptation of mice pups. Material and methods Inspiratory oxygen fraction (FiO2) in pregnant mice was reduced from 21% (room air) to 14% (hypoxia) 8–12 h prior to delivery and reset to 21% 6–8 h after birth. The control group was kept at 21% during the procedure. Reduced (GSH) and oxidized (GSSG) glutathione and its precursors [γ-glut…
Análisis poblacional y filogeográfico de vectores de la enfermedad de Chagas en Perú basado en análisis multigénicos del ADN ribosomal y mitocondrial
2017
La enfermedad de Chagas, cuyo agente causal es Trypanosoma cruzi, constituye un grave problema de salud pública en toda Latinoamérica. La principal forma de transmisión es la vectorial, de la que son responsables hemípteros redúvidos de la subfamilia Triatominae adaptados a los hábitats doméstico y peridoméstico. Puesto que el parásito se mantiene en un ciclo zoonótico silvestre y es imposible de eliminar, la principal forma de lucha contra la transmisión vectorial consiste en la eliminación de las poblaciones domiciliadas del vector. Los estudios moleculares constituyen una herramienta de gran utilidad a la hora de planificar las campañas de control vectorial, puesto que permiten conocer y…
Diversidad genética de los principales vectores de la enfermedad de Chagas en Brasil: repercusiones epidemiológicas en el control de la enfermedad
2017
La enfermedad de Chagas, también llamada Tripanosomiasis Americana, es una enfermedad potencialmente mortal causada por el parásito protozoo Trypanosoma cruzi, es endémica de América Latina y transmitida, principalmente, por vectores hemípteros de la subfamilia Triatominae adaptados a los hábitats doméstico y peridoméstico. Puesto que el parásito se mantiene en un ciclo zoonótico silvestre y es imposible de eliminar, la única forma de luchar contra la transmisión vectorial consiste en la eliminación de las poblaciones domiciliadas del vector.
