Muscles (diaphragm) from control and experimental groups (TNF-alpha i.v. at 50 microg/kg body wt for 5 days) were incubated in the presence of 35S-methionine for 2 h. Myofibrillar protein extracts were prepared and protein was electrophoresed on sodium dodecyl sulphate-polyacrylamide gels. Heavy chain myosin, light chain myosin and G-actin were identified by Western blot analysis using specific monoclonal antibodies. Polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis (PAGE) followed by Western blot analysis revealed two types of heavy chain myosin (206 and 212 kD), all four types of light chain myosin (15, 16.5, 18 and 20 kD) and a single type of G-actin (42 kD). Chronic TNF-alpha treatment produced a significant decline in the synthesis of all types of myofibrillar proteins, namely heavy chain myosin, light chain myosin and G-actin. TNF-alpha impaired peptide-chain initiation in diaphragm muscle which was reversed by the branched-chain amino acids (BCAA) therapy of TNF-alpha treated rats. These findings indicate a significant role for TNF-alpha in the translational regulation of protein synthesis in skeletal muscle.</p>","PeriodicalId":11078,"journal":{"name":"Cytobios","volume":"103 404","pages":"169-76"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2000-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"21911726","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The present studies have suggested that an hexagonal array of six carbon dioxide molecules could bind and sequester a hydroxyl anion. The binding energy of the complex is estimated to be comparable with that of a covalent compound and its dissociation may only occur at the water interface with air or at the water/hydrophobic protein interface in a protein cleft. The physiological importance lies in the consequential release of an equal number of free hydrogen ions (H3O+) and the disruption of the normal action of buffer systems in regulating the cytoplasmic pH.

SH-SY5Y cells cultured on bare coverslips, on coverslips coated with rat-tail collagen, and in approximately 1 mm thick gels containing extracellular matrix components were compared. Striking differences were apparent when comparing the gel-cultured cells with cells cultured on coverslips. Cells grown in the gel formed ganglia-like clusters which generated bundles of neurites which targeted other 'ganglia'.

Unfortunately, it induces serious side effects such as haematological toxicity. The aim of the present study was to evaluate the effect of CDDP on the first step in blood platelet activation-platelet adhesion, induced by thrombin or adenosine diphosphate (ADP), to collagen and fibrinogen. The action of cisplatin was compared with the action of cisplatin glutathione complex (GS-Pt) on platelet adhesion and on free radical generation measured by chemiluminescence. Pretreatment of blood platelets with cisplatin (0.1-20 microM) caused a dose- and time-dependent reduction of platelet adhesion to collagen and fibrinogen (p <0.05). The GS-Pt complex (20 microM, 30 min) had a stronger inhibitory effect on this process. Moreover, the complex (R2 = 0.992; p <0.05) also stimulated the chemiluminescence of blood platelets to a greater extent than CDDP alone (R2 = 0.999; p <0.01). The results suggest that inhibition of platelet adhesion in the presence of cisplatin and its complex with glutathione correlates with the generation of reactive oxygen species in these cells.</p>","PeriodicalId":11078,"journal":{"name":"Cytobios","volume":"102 400","pages":"75-84"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2000-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"21727005","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
