[ Effects of plasminogen and streptokinase on the vital functions of nervous tissue cells in culture ] . In the protein-deficient media plasminogen stimulated the vital functions of cells and in concentrations 10(-7)-10(-10) M it protected cells of sympathetic ganglia , neocortex and continues cell lines under damaging actions of H2O2 ( 0.0001 M ) , NH4CI ( 0.01 M ) and cooling . DB00086 essentially influenced the mode of damaging effect of DB00171 ( 0.001 M ) . Even a short-term exposition ( 20 min ) of PC12 cells with both proteins ( each in the concentration 10(-9) M ) led to sharp alterations in intracellular DB00171 - or Ca(2+)-activated proteolysis . In some cases plasminogen and streptokinase provided acceleration of cultured tissue maturation , improvement of cell adhesion , high survival rate , the increase in quantity and length of processes and their arborisation . Electronic microscopy established the character of structural rearrangements of nervous tissue cells ( neurons , astrocytes , oligodendrocytes ) , reflecting the protective action of plasminogen and streptokinase . In the presence of plasminogen and especially streptokinase , the total number of cultured glioma P13671 and neuroblastoma IMR-32 cells , the intracellular contents of protein , RNA and DNA increased several-fold . Addition of plasminogen promoted formation of processes by neuroblastoma cells , this suggests initiation of differentiation of cellular elements . In cultures of sensitive and sympathetic ganglia streptokinase increased proliferation of Schwann cells . These proteins did not cause transformation of PC12 enterochromaffine cells to neurons , though plasminogen facilitated it . P00747 addition to cell cultures did not increase fibrinolytic activity of the culture medium in the culture medium , and streptokinase did not lose its plasminogen-activating capacity . Bayesian analysis and the GUSTO trial . Global Utilization of DB00086 and Tissue P00747 Activator in Occluded Arteries . DB08904 in axial spondyloarthritis . The axial spondyloarthritis ( SpA ) classification criteria cover both patients with ankylosing spondylitis and non-radiographic axial SpA . After failure of NSAIDs P01375 -α-inhibitors ( P01375 -blockers ) can be given to patients with active axial SpA . Until recently , the P01375 -blockers infliximab , adalimumab , etanercept and DB06674 are labeled for the treatment of active ankylosing spondylitis while for active nr-axSpA only adalimumab has been approved in Europe . The P01375 -blocker certolizumab pegol has recently been evaluated in the RAPID-axSpA trial which is the first placebo-controlled randomized-controlled trial in the entire group of axial SpA . An elevated P02741 and/ or evidence of bone marrow edema on Q9BWK5 of the sacroiliac joints were required for inclusion in RAPID-axSpA , and patients could have been preexposed to P01375 -blockers . The interesting data of this important trial in the context of the emerging therapeutic field of non-radiographic axial SpA therapy is discussed in this review . Transforming growth factor-beta1 induces tumor stroma and reduces tumor infiltrate in cervical cancer . Cervical carcinomas consist of tumor cell nests surrounded by varying amounts of intratumoral stroma containing different quantities and types of immune cells . Besides controlling ( epithelial ) cell growth , the multifunctional cytokine transforming growth factor-beta(1) ( TGF-beta(1) ) is involved in the formation of stroma and extracellular matrix ( Q13201 ) and in immunosuppression . Several malignancies are known to be associated with enhanced production of TGF-beta(1) , repression or mutation of TGF-beta transmembrane receptors , or mutations at the postreceptor intracellular signaling pathway . The aim of our study was to investigate the role of tumor cell-derived TGF-beta(1) on the amount of intratumoral stroma ; the deposition of collagen IV , fibronectin , and laminin ; and the tumor infiltrate in cervical carcinoma . The expression of TGF-beta(1) mRNA in 108 paraffin-embedded cervical carcinomas was detected by mRNA in situ hybridization . Immunohistochemistry was used to investigate the amount of tumor stroma and Q13201 proteins and the extent of the tumor infiltrate . P00747 activator inhibitor-1 ( P05121 ) protein expression in tumor cells was determined to verify the biological activity of TGF-beta(1.) Cytoplasmatic TGF-beta(1) mRNA expression in tumor cells was significantly correlated with the amount of intratumoral stroma and the deposition of collagen IV . TGF-beta(1) mRNA expression in every tumor was accompanied by P05121 expression , indicating biological activity of TGF-beta(1) . An inverse relationship between TGF-beta(1) mRNA expression in tumor cells and the extent of the tumor infiltrate was demonstrated . Our results indicate that cervical cancer cells affect the amount and the composition of the intratumoral stroma and the tumor infiltrate by the production and secretion of TGF-beta(1) . Novel function of androgen receptor-associated protein 55/ O43294 as a negative regulator of P84022 signaling . P10275 -associated protein 55 ( O43294 / O43294 ) belongs to the LIM protein superfamily and is featured by three or four N-terminal LD motifs and four C-terminal zinc finger-like LIM domains . Both LD motifs and LIM domains can serve as protein-protein interaction interfaces . Recently , we found that enforced expression of O43294 inhibits transforming growth factor-beta-mediated up-regulation of Smad binding element-luciferase reporter activity in NRP-154 and NRP-152 rat prostate and LNCaP human prostate cell lines . Moreover , O43294 also inhibits the induction of Smad-binding element 4-luciferase and 3TP-luciferase ( a plasminogen activator inhibitor-1 ( P05121 ) promoter construct ) reporters by constitutively active ( CA ) - P84022 in these cell lines . Co-immunoprecipitation studies suggest an interaction between O43294 and either CA- P84022 or wild-type P84022 in HEK293 cells that occurs through the MH2 domain of P84022 and the C terminus of O43294 with wild-type P84022 having stronger affinity than CA- P84022 to O43294 . O60760 pull-down assays demonstrate that this interaction can occur in a cell-free system . These results are consistent with the luciferase data showing that the C terminus of O43294 is critical for suppression of P84022 activity . Furthermore , using a mammalian two-hybrid system , we confirmed that O43294 interacts with the MH2 domain of P84022 and suppresses CA- P84022 -induced transcriptional responses . In conclusion , these results support that O43294 selectively intercepts transforming growth factor-beta signaling through an interaction of the LIM domain of O43294 with the MH2 domain of P84022 . Development of peptidomimetic ligands of Pro- DB00149 - DB00145 -NH(2) as allosteric modulators of the dopamine D(2) receptor . A variety of stable , small-molecule peptidomimetic ligands have been developed to elucidate the mechanism by which the neuropeptide Pro- DB00149 - DB00145 -NH(2) ( P00747 ) modulates dopaminergic neurotransmission . Photoaffinity labeling ligands based upon P00747 peptidomimetics have been used to establish that P00747 binds to the P14416 at a site that is different from the orthosteric site , thus making P00747 and its peptidomimetics allosteric modulators of the dopamine receptor . Through the design , synthesis and pharmacological evaluation of conformationally constrained peptidomimetics containing lactam , bicyclic , and spiro-bicyclic scaffolds , support was provided for the hypothesis that the bioactive conformation of P00747 is a type II β-turn . In addition , studies with peptidomimetics designed to mimic either a type VI β-turn or polyproline II helix conformation yielded molecules that were able to modulate dopamine receptors because of their ability to place the carboxamide NH(2) pharmacophore in the same topological space as that seen in the type II β-turn . Extensive studies with the spiro-bicyclic P00747 peptidomimetics also established that both positive and negative modes of modulation were possible for the same series of peptidomimetics simply as a result of minor differences in the stereochemistry about the bridgehead carbon within the scaffold . This information was used to transform existing positive modulators into negative modulators , which demonstrated that small structural changes in the spiro-bicyclic dopamine receptor modulators are capable of causing major changes in the modulatory activity of P00747 peptidomimetics . Neutrophil apoptosis : selective regulation by different ligands of integrin alphaMbeta2 . Neutrophils undergo spontaneous apoptosis , but their survival can be extended during inflammatory responses . alpha(M)beta(2) is reported either to delay or accelerate neutrophil apoptosis , but the mechanisms by which this integrin can support such diametrically opposed responses are poorly understood . The abilities of closely related alpha(M)beta(2) ligands , plasminogen and angiostatin , derived from plasminogen , as well as fibrinogen and its two derivative alpha(M)beta(2) recognition peptides , P1 and P2-C , differed markedly in their effects on neutrophil apoptosis . P00747 , fibrinogen , and P2-C suppressed apoptosis via activation of Akt and P27361 /2 kinases , while angiostatin and P1 failed to activate these prosurvival pathways and did not prevent neutrophil apoptosis . Using cells transfected with alpha(M)beta(2) or its individual alpha(M) or beta(2) subunits , and purified receptors and its constituent chains , we show that engagement of both subunits with prosurvival ligands is essential for induction of the prosurvival response . Hence , engagement of a single integrin by closely related ligands can induce distinct signaling pathways , which can elicit distinct cellular responses . Combined olaparib and oxaliplatin inhibits tumor proliferation and induces G2/M arrest and γ- P16104 foci formation in colorectal cancer . BACKGROUND : Poly ( ADP-ribose ) polymerase 1 ( P09874 ) has an important role in homologous recombination repair . The purpose of this study was to investigate the effect of P09874 inhibitor on oxaliplatin treatment for colorectal cancer ( CRC ) . METHODS : A cell counting kit-8 assay was used to determine the sensitivity of CRC cells to olaparib and/or oxaliplatin . The gene and protein expressions of P09874 and the gamma histone variant P16104 ( γ P16104 ) were measured by real-time quantitative polymerase chain reaction and western blotting , respectively . The γ P16104 foci formation assay was used to investigate the influence of treatments on cells . Flow cytometry was used to examine the changes in cell cycle distribution . Finally , we investigated the combination of olaparib and oxaliplatin in the CRC tumor model . RESULTS : DB09074 changed the expression of γ P16104 and P09874 , and increased the sensitivity of CRC cells to oxaliplatin . The γ P16104 foci assay showed that olaparib did not induce double-strand breaks ( DSBs ) alone , but it enhanced the induction of DSBs by oxaliplatin . The flow cytometry results showed that cells exposed to combination treatment had more G2/M-phase cells than control . Additionally , tumor xenograft studies suggested that combined treatment inhibited the growth of CRC . CONCLUSION : CRC cells are sensitized to combined treatment with olaparib and oxaliplatin , and this could be a promising strategy for clinical chemotherapy in CRC . The cyclooxygenase-2 inhibitor celecoxib is a potent inhibitor of human carbonic anhydrase II . P35354 ( P35354 ) is up-regulated in stromal and inflammatory cells . The inducible P35354 isoform is expressed during inflammation , in some cancers , and in brain tissue after global and focal ischemia . Tissue acidosis is a dominant factor in inflammation , and contributes to pain and hyperalgesia . Recently , compelling epidemiological and clinical evidence has documented the P36551 -independent effects of some P35354 inhibitors ( i.e. , celecoxib , valdecoxib , and rofecoxib ) ; among these effects are carbonic anhydrase ( CA ) inhibition . Carbonic anhydrases are zinc metalloenzymes expressed in various cell types , including those of the kidney , where they act as general acid-base catalysts . The kidneys are also known to express the highest concentration of P35354 messenger ribonucleic acid . Celecoxib , like the prototypic CA inhibitor acetazolamide , is structurally characterized by an unsubstituted sulfonamide moiety . In the present study , we report that celecoxib exhibits the characteristics of a potent CA inhibitor , showing inhibitory human carbonic anhydrase II ( hCAII ) activity in the nanomolar range . DB00580 was relatively less potent . DB00533 , which lacks the unsubstituted sulfonamide moiety characteristic of CA inhibitors , showed no significant hCAII inhibitory activity . The current study corroborates our earlier report of structure-activity relationships as predictors of such metabolic events as hyperchloremia , acidosis , and changes in calcium and phosphate disposition ; and clinical manifestations associated with CA inhibition reported with celecoxib . These data showing inhibition of hCAII by the unsubstituted sulfonamides celecoxib and valdecoxib , but not by rofecoxib , may have important implications for the elucidation of the mechanisms of action as well as the side effects associated with P35354 inhibitors . P07550 -mediated effects on sinus rate and atrial and ventricular contractility on isolated , blood-perfused dog heart preparations . Changes in the sinus rate , right atrial contractile force and left ventricular contractile force in response to isoproterenol , epinephrine , dobutamine , salbutamol and procaterol were studied in isolated , blood-perfused right atrial or left ventricular cardiac preparations of the dog . Each substance elicited dose-dependent increases in the three parameters and the ranking of the potency ( ED50 ) for each effect was isoproterenol greater than epinephrine greater than dobutamine greater than or equal to salbutamol greater than or equal to procaterol . The ED50 of procaterol for changing sinus rate was lower than for altering atrial and ventricular contractile force , whereas the ED50 of dobutamine for changing sinus rate was higher . Ranking on the basis of the ratio of increase in sinus rate to increase in atrial tension induced by the agonists gave the following order : procaterol greater than or equal to salbutamol greater than epinephrine greater than or equal to isoproterenol greater than dobutamine . DB01366 -induced increases in sinus rate and atrial contractile force were dose-dependently inhibited by the beta-2 adrenoceptor antagonist , ICI 118,551 , but only attenuated slightly by the beta-1 antagonist , atenolol . On the other hand , the positive chrono- and inotropic effects on the right atrium induced by dobutamine and isoproterenol were blocked completely by atenolol . The epinephrine- or salbutamol-induced positive chrono- and inotropic responses in the right atrium were inhibited moderately by both antagonists , but ICI 118,551 inhibited sinus rate increases more effectively than the atrial tension increases. ( ABSTRACT TRUNCATED AT 250 WORDS ) Cytokine release syndrome after blinatumomab treatment related to abnormal macrophage activation and ameliorated with cytokine-directed therapy . DB09052 is a P15391 /CD3-bispecific T-cell receptor-engaging ( BiTE ) antibody with efficacy in refractory B-precursor acute lymphoblastic leukemia . Some patients treated with blinatumomab and other T cell-activating therapies develop cytokine release syndrome ( CRS ) . We hypothesized that patients with more severe toxicity may experience abnormal macrophage activation triggered by the release of cytokines by T-cell receptor-activated cytotoxic T cells engaged by BiTE antibodies and leading to hemophagocytic lymphohistiocytosis ( HLH ) . We prospectively monitored a patient during blinatumomab treatment and observed that he developed HLH . He became ill 36 hours into the infusion with fever , respiratory failure , and circulatory collapse . He developed hyperferritinemia , cytopenias , hypofibrinogenemia , and a cytokine profile diagnostic for HLH . The HLH continued to progress after discontinuation of blinatumomab ; however , he had rapid improvement after P05231 receptor-directed therapy with tocilizumab . Patients treated with T cell-activating therapies , including blinatumomab , should be monitored for HLH , and cytokine-directed therapy may be considered in cases of life-threatening CRS . This trial was registered at www.clinicaltrials.gov as # NCT00103285 . The antifibrotic effects of plasminogen activation occur via prostaglandin E2 synthesis in humans and mice . P00747 activation to plasmin protects from lung fibrosis , but the mechanism underlying this antifibrotic effect remains unclear . We found that mice lacking plasminogen activation inhibitor-1 ( P05121 ) , which are protected from bleomycin-induced pulmonary fibrosis , exhibit lung overproduction of the antifibrotic lipid mediator prostaglandin E2 ( DB00917 ) . P00747 activation upregulated DB00917 synthesis in alveolar epithelial cells , lung fibroblasts , and lung fibrocytes from saline- and bleomycin-treated mice , as well as in normal fetal and adult primary human lung fibroblasts . This response was exaggerated in cells from Pai1-/- mice . Although enhanced DB00917 formation required the generation of plasmin , it was independent of proteinase-activated receptor 1 ( P25116 ) and instead reflected proteolytic activation and release of P14210 with subsequent induction of P35354 . That the P14210 / P35354 / DB00917 axis mediates in vivo protection from fibrosis in Pai1-/- mice was demonstrated by experiments showing that a selective inhibitor of the P08581 c- DB00134 increased lung collagen to WT levels while reducing P35354 protein and DB00917 levels . Of clinical interest , fibroblasts from patients with idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis were found to be defective in their ability to induce P35354 and , therefore , unable to upregulate DB00917 synthesis in response to plasmin or P14210 . These studies demonstrate crosstalk between plasminogen activation and DB00917 generation in the lung and provide a mechanism for the well-known antifibrotic actions of the fibrinolytic pathway . [ Association study of renin-angiotensin system genes and hemostasis system genes with ischemic stroke among Russians of Central Russia ] . The analysis of alleles and genotypes frequencies of 14 SNP in genes of rennin-angiotensin system ( REN , AGT , P30556 , P50052 , P30411 , P07550 ) and hemostasis system ( P02675 , F2 , P12259 , P08709 , P05106 , P05121 , P42898 ) , as well as P12821 insertion-deletion polymorphism in patients with stroke comparing to healthy controls matched by age , sex and ethnicity has been carried out . The genotyping procedure included the amplification of selected gene sequences following by hybridization of fluorescently labeled fragments with SNP-specific DNA probes . The analysis of allele frequencies of each gene separately revealed no statistically significant differences between groups of patients with stroke and healthy donors . Also the complex study has been performed to estimate the contribution of rennin-angiotensin system and hemostasis system genes to the genetic susceptibility to ischemic stroke among Russians from Central Russia using method MDR ( Multifactor Dimensionality Reduction ) . The combination with increased risk for development of ischemic stroke was presented by complex genotype P02675 G/- x P12821 I/- x P42898 C/- x P05121 5G/5G ( p = 0.03 , OR = 2.4 , 95 % CI 1.1-5.3 ) , which frequency was statistically significant higher in patients with stroke compared to healthy control . Acute renal failure from hemoglobinuric and interstitial nephritis secondary to iodine and mefenamic acid . DB00784 ingestion , usually in excess and over prolonged period is known to produce interstitial nephritis , or less commonly papillary necrosis , with acute renal failure . However , it is not dose-dependent for the induction of tubulointerstitial damage . Excess iodine ingestion is known to produce toxicity and possible death , but acute renal failure is rare . There is evidence from clinical and experimental data that iodine has toxic effect on tubular epithelial cells . Iodine has not been documented to produce red cell hemolysis and hemoglobinuria . We present a unique case of acute renal failure from hemoglobinuric and acute interstitial nephritis secondary to suicidal ingestion of potassium iodide solution and also ingestion of a few mefenamic acid tablets . These agents led to potentiation of the renal injury from hemoglobinuric tubulopathy , probably from the iodine , and renal dysfunction from alteration of renal perfusion by selective P23219 inhibition of prostaglandin production , and induction of acute interstitial nephritis from mefenamic acid , leading to acute renal failure which was reversible by hemodialysis and supportive therapy . Farnesoid X receptor activation by chenodeoxycholic acid induces detoxifying enzymes through AMP-activated protein kinase and extracellular signal-regulated kinase 1/2-mediated phosphorylation of CCAAT/enhancer binding protein β . Farnesoid X receptor ( Q96RI1 ) regulates redox homeostasis and elicits a cytoprotective effect . CCAAT/enhancer binding protein-β ( C/EBPβ ) plays a role in regulating the expression of hepatocyte-specific genes and contributes to hepatocyte protection and liver regeneration . In view of the role of Q96RI1 in xenobiotic metabolism and hepatocyte survival , this study investigated the potential of Q96RI1 to activate C/EBPβ for the induction of detoxifying enzymes and the responsible regulatory pathway . Chenodeoxycholic acid ( DB06777 ) , a major component in bile acids , activates Q96RI1 . In HepG2 cells , DB06777 treatment activated C/EBPβ , as shown by increases in its phosphorylation , nuclear accumulation , and expression . 3-(2,6-Dichlorophenyl)-4-(3'-carboxy-2-chlorostilben-4-yl-)oxymethyl-5-isopropyl-isoxazole ( GW4064 ) , a synthetic Q96RI1 ligand , had similar effects . In addition , DB06777 enhanced luciferase gene transcription from the construct containing -1.65-kb P09210 promoter , which contained C/EBP response element ( pGL-1651 ) . Moreover , DB06777 treatment activated AMP-activated protein kinase ( AMPK ) , which led to extracellular signal-regulated kinase 1/2 ( P27361 /2 ) activation , as evidenced by the results of experiments using a dominant-negative mutant of AMPKα and chemical inhibitor . The activation of P27361 /2 was responsible for the activating phosphorylation of C/EBPβ . Q96RI1 knockdown attenuated the ability of DB06777 to activate AMPK and P27361 /2 and phosphorylate C/EBPβ . Consistently , enforced expression of Q96RI1 promoted the phosphorylation of AMPKα , P27361 /2 , and C/EBPβ , verifying that C/EBPβ phosphorylation elicited by DB06777 results from the activation of AMPK and P27361 /2 by Q96RI1 . In mice , DB06777 treatment activated C/EBPβ with the induction of detoxifying enzymes in the liver . Our results demonstrate that DB06777 induces antioxidant and xenobiotic-metabolizing enzymes by activating C/EBPβ through AMPK-dependent P27361 /2 pathway downstream of Q96RI1 . P10275 repression of gonadotropin-releasing hormone gene transcription via enhancer 1 . DB00644 ( DB00644 ) plays a major role in the hypothalamic-pituitary-gonadal ( HPG ) axis , and synthesis and secretion of DB00644 are regulated by gonadal steroid hormones . Disruptions in androgen levels are involved in a number of reproductive defects , including hypogonadotropic hypogonadism and polycystic ovarian syndrome . Androgens down-regulate DB00644 mRNA synthesis in vivo and in vitro via an androgen receptor ( AR ) -dependent mechanism . DB02998 ( R1881 ) , a synthetic AR agonist , represses DB00644 expression through multiple sites in the proximal promoter . In this study , we show AR also represses DB00644 transcription via the major enhancer ( DB00644 -E1 ) . A multimer of the -1800/-1766 region was repressed by R1881 treatment . Mutation of two bases , -1792 and -1791 , resulted in decreased basal activity and a loss of AR-mediated repression . AR bound to the -1796/-1791 sequence in electrophoretic mobility shift assays , indicating a direct interaction with DNA or other transcription factors in this region . We conclude that AR repression of DB00644 -E1 acts via multiple AR-responsive regions , including the site at -1792/-1791 . Upregulation of cell-surface-associated plasminogen activation in cultured keratinocytes by interleukin-1 beta and tumor necrosis factor-alpha . Keratinocytes synthesize and secrete urokinase-type plasminogen activator ( uPA ) which is bound in an autocrine manner to a specific receptor ( uPA-R ) at the keratinocyte surface . P00747 that is also bound to specific membrane binding sites is readily activated by uPA-R-bound uPA . Thus , plasmin is provided for proteolysis of pericellular glycoproteins . The expression of uPA and the uPA-R is confined to migrating keratinocytes during epidermal wound healing , rather than to keratinocytes of the normal epidermis . The regulatory factors of uPA/uPA-R expression in keratinocytes remained largely elusive . Proinflammatory cytokines , such as tumor necrosis factor-alpha ( P01375 ) or interleukin-1 beta ( P01584 ) , are present in epidermal wounds . We have therefore tested P01584 and P01375 for their influence on surface-associated plasminogen activation in a human keratinocyte cell line ( HaCaT ) as well as in primary cultures of normal human epidermal keratinocytes . Both cytokines induced the secretion of uPA into the culture supernatants and a concomitant increase in uPA activity as well as in uPA and uPA-R antigen at the cell surface . The increase was preceded by an increase in specific mRNA . The induction was accompanied by an accelerated uPA-dependent and plasmin-mediated detachment of HaCaT cells from the culture substratum . Taken together , the proinflammatory cytokines P01584 and P01375 induced a coordinated increase in uPA and uPA-R as well as increased pericellular plasmin-mediated proteolysis in human epidermal keratinocytes . This function might be an element of the molecular cell biological events during epidermal wound healing . Investigation of the binding of isoform-selective inhibitors to prostaglandin endoperoxide synthases using fluorescence spectroscopy . Prostaglandin endoperoxide synthase ( PGHS ) is a heme protein that catalyzes the committed step in prostaglandin and thromboxane biosynthesis . Two isoforms of PGHS exist , a constitutive form termed P23219 and an inducible form termed P35354 . We report here fluorescence resonance energy transfer analysis of isoform-selective inhibitors interacting with P23219 and P35354 . By measuring fluorescence quenching due to the energy transfer of the inhibitor fluorescence to the heme prosthetic group of PGHS , we determined these inhibitors bind in the arachidonic acid substrate access channel with an R0 of 35 A for P23219 with the P23219 inhibitor and an R0 of 21 A for P35354 with the P35354 inhibitor . The observed fluorescence quenching is completely dynamic and dominated by quenching by the heme . Time-resolved results combined with molecular modeling determine the distance from the inhibitor to the heme moiety to be 20 A in P23219 and 18 A in P35354 . Preliminary stopped-flow kinetic studies reveal that the rate of quenching is limited by a first-order protein transition , which is slow , and that bound inhibitor undergoes rapid exchange . Bayesian analysis and the GUSTO trial . Global Utilization of DB00086 and Tissue P00747 Activator in Occluded Arteries . Dopamine selectively reduces GABA(B) transmission onto dopaminergic neurones by an unconventional presynaptic action . The functioning of midbrain dopaminergic neurones is closely involved in mental processes and movement . In particular the modulation of the inhibitory inputs on these cells might be crucial in controlling firing activity and dopamine ( DA ) release in the brain . Here , we report a concentration-dependent depressant action of dopamine on the GABA(B) IPSPs intracellularly recorded from dopaminergic neurones . Such effect was observed in spite of the presence of D(1)/ P14416 antagonists . A reduction of the GABA(B) IPSPs was also caused by noradrenaline ( norepinephrine ) and by L-beta-3,4-dihydroxyphenylalanine ( DB01235 ) , which is metabolically transformed into DA . The DA-induced depression of the IPSPs was partially antagonised by the alpha2 antagonists yohimbine and phentolamine . DA did not change the postsynaptic effects of the GABA(B) agonist baclofen , suggesting a presynaptic site of action . Furthermore , DA did not modulate the GABA(A)-mediated IPSP . The DA-induced depression of the GABA(B) IPSP occluded the depression produced by serotonin and was not antagonized by serotonin antagonists . The DA- and 5-HT-induced depression of the GABA(B) IPSP persisted when calcium and potassium currents were reduced in to the presynaptic terminals . These results describe an unconventional presynaptic , D(1) and D(2) independent action of DA on the GABA(B) IPSP . This might have a principal role in determining therapeutic/side effects of DB01235 and antipsychotics and could be also involved in drug abuse . Increase in proinflammatory cytokines in peripheral blood without haemostatic changes after LPS inhalation . INTRODUCTION : Bronchoalveolar fibrin deposition is a characteristic of various lung disorders including acute lung injury , acute respiratory distress syndrome and sepsis . It is secondary to the activation of coagulation and inhibition of fibrinolysis in the alveolar space , and can be stimulated by lipopolysaccharide ( LPS ) inhalation . The aim of this study was to determine the relation between compartmental stress in the lung and systemic response after LPS inhalation by measuring haemostatic parameters . PATIENTS AND METHODS : 12 healthy subjects underwent a bronchial challenge test with LPS ; sequential dosages were performed for 5 biological markers ( P05231 ( P05231 ) , C-Reactive Protein ( CRP ) , P00734 Fragments 1 and 2 ( F 1+2 ) , cortisol and P00747 Activator Inhibitor 1 ( P05121 ) before endotoxin inhalation and 2 , 4 , 6 , 8 and 24 hours afterwards . RESULTS : P05231 and CRP levels in the peripheral blood were higher after LPS inhalation ; there was no activation of coagulation and no increase in P05121 level . CONCLUSION : This study confirms that despite systemic release of proinflammatory cytokines , LPS inhalation does not induce systemic haemostatic response to LPS challenge . The cytotoxic effect of β-elemene against malignant glioma is enhanced by base-excision repair inhibitor methoxyamine . This study investigated the effects of β-elemene + methoxyamine , a DNA base-excision repair inhibitor , on the inhibition of glioma growth . We treated P13671 and SHG44 glioma cells with β-elemene and methoxyamine individually or in combinations , and subsequently analyzed cellular survivals by MTT assay . Comet assay , γ- P16104 focus formation assay and Western-blot were performed to investigate whether the observed cytotoxicity was associates with DNA damages . Finally , a xenograft tumor model was established in nude mice with P13671 cells to analyze in vivo tumor inhibition effects of β-elemene , which was followed by determination of the expression of anti-apoptotic protein Bcl-2 via immunohistochemistry staining . Results showed that β-elemene could significantly inhibit the growth of glioma cells in a dose- and time-dependent manner . The combination of methoxyamine with β-elemene could result in a greater extent of DNA injuries in vitro . Furthermore , in vivo tumors exhibited a marked shrinkage in volume in β-elemene + methoxyamine treatment group . Immunohistochemistry analysis of the tumor tissues showed a distinctive decrease in Bcl-2 staining in β-elemene ( 56 % ) and β-elemene + methoxyamine ( 36 % ) groups when compared with the negative control ( 77 % ) . In conclusion , β-elemene exhibits a significant cytotoxic effect against glioma cells both in vitro and in vivo , which is likely to be mediated by its potential to damage tumor cell DNA and activate apoptotic pathway . Such growth inhibition effect of β-elemene could be potentiated by methoxyamine co-administration . Therefore , a combination of the two agents as a novel chemotherapeutic option for glioma merits further investigations .
