To isolate and characterize extracellular vesicles (EVs) produced by mouse renal carcinoma Renca cells with different expression levels of the adaptor protein Ruk/CIN85 under normoxia and hypoxia conditions. Methods. The density gradient centrifugation was used to isolate EVs from the conditioned medium of Renca cells cultured under normoxia and hypoxia conditions. Further characterization of EVs was performed by using nanoparticle tracking analysis (NTA), electron microscopy and Western Blot analysis. Results. Significant differences in average particle size between EVs produced by sublines studied under experimen-tal conditions were not found. At the same time, concentration of particles produced by Ruk/ CIN85 overexpressing cells turned out to be an order of magnitude higher in hypoxia in comparison to normoxia conditions. It was shown that under normoxia conditions the content of both Ruk/CIN85 and EVs’ markers Alix and CD81 was increased in vesicles produced by Renca cells with Ruk/CIN85 overexpression in comparison with those from control mock-transfected cells. Under hypoxia conditions, the content of studied proteins decreased by more than two orders of magnitude in EVs secreted by Renca cells with up-regulation of adaptor protein whereas the content of Ruk/CIN85 and CD81 increased in EVs from mock-transfec ted cells. Conclusions. It has been demonstrated that the adaptor protein Ruk/CIN85 is a novel component of EVs produced by tumor cells that may play a role in the control of EV composition under normoxia and hypoxia.","PeriodicalId":39444,"journal":{"name":"Biopolymers and Cell","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-10-30","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"46184029","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}

RIPC was modu-lated by three cycles of blocking blood flow in the arm for 5 minutes followed by restoring it for another 5 minutes. Expression of MHRT was measured in myocardial tissue and plasma by real-time polymerase chain reaction. Results. Hemodynamic parameters of patients in the RIPC-group had higher (p<0.05) values of cardiac index, systolic blood pressure, diastolic blood pressure, stroke volume index compared to the sham group. Systemic vascular resistance index decreased in RIPC-group. The expression level of MHRT in the myocardium was 2.5 times lower than in the sham group (p<0.05). MHRT expression in plasma fall[s] significantly, by more [than]15 times, (p<0.0001) in the RIPC-group. Conclusions.

The features of the energy supply in hepatocytes of rats under the conditions of different content of protein and sucrose in a diet were studied in the research. Methods. Experimental diets, differential centrifugation, spectrophotometry, chromatography on sheets. Results. It was found that 4-week maintenance of animals on a low-protein diet resulted in a 2.2-fold decrease in the succinate dehydrogenase activity, a threefold reduction of the cytochrome oxidase activity, and an increase in the F0F1-ATPase activity in a 1.5-fold in hepatocytes of rats. Under the experimental conditions, a 40 % decrease in the ATP content was found in the rat hepatocytes mitochondria against the background of an increase in the ADP content and maintaining the AMP content at the control level. It should be noted that under the conditions of the high-sucrose diet no significant changes in the succinate dehydrogenase activity were found in hepatocytes mitochondria; however, the cytochrome oxidase activity decreased by half and the F0F1-ATPase activity increased by 1.8 times. The most significant changes in the energy supply of hepatocytes occurred in the conditions of low-protein/high-sucrose diet. A sixfold decrease in the succinate dehydrogenase activity and reduction of the cytochrome oxidase activity to critically low values was found. With that, a twofold increase in the F0F1-ATPase activity compared to control was accompanied by a depletion of the pool of adenyl nucleotides. Conclusions. It is concluded that the lack of protein in the diet is a determining factor for the system of energy supply and the functioning of the respiratory chain, while the imbalance in the diet in terms of the content of food protein and sucrose is critical for the formation of an imbalance in energy supply to hepatocytes. The obtained results open up the prospects for developing a strategy of correcting energy metabolism disorders in conditions of nutritional imbalance.","PeriodicalId":39444,"journal":{"name":"Biopolymers and Cell","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-08-31","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"45188840","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}
