In human patients, blood coagulation disorders often associate with cancer, even in its early stages. Recently, in vitro and in vivo experimental models have shown that oncogene expression, or inactivation of tumour suppressor genes, upregulate genes that
control blood coagulation. These studies suggest that activation of blood clotting, leading to peritumoral fibrin deposition,
is instrumental in cancer development. Fibrin can indeed build up a provisional matrix, supporting the invasive growth of
neoplastic tissues and blood vessels. Interference with blood coagulation can thus be considered as part of a multifaceted
therapeutic approach to cancer.

Two-pore channel proteins (TPC) encode intracellular ion channels in both animals and plants. In mammalian cells, the two isoforms (TPC1 and TPC2) localize to the endo-lysosomal compartment, whereas the plant TPC1 protein is targeted to the membrane surrounding the large lytic vacuole. Although it is well established that plant TPC1 channels activate in a voltage- and calcium-dependent manner in vitro, there is still debate on their activation under physiological conditions. Likewise, the mode of animal TPC activation is heavily disputed between two camps favoring as activator either nicotinic acid adenine dinucleotide phosphate (NAADP) or the phosphoinositide PI(3,5)P2. Here, we investigated TPC current responses to either of these second messengers by whole-vacuole patch-clamp experiments on isolated vacuoles of Arabidopsis thaliana. After expression in mesophyll protoplasts from Arabidopsis tpc1 knock-out plants, we detected the Arabidopsis TPC1-EGFP and human TPC2-EGFP fusion proteins at the membrane of the large central vacuole. Bath (cytosolic) application of either NAADP or PI(3,5)P2 did not affect the voltage- and calcium-dependent characteristics of AtTPC1-EGFP. By contrast, PI(3,5)P2 elicited large sodium currents in hTPC2-EGFP-containing vacuoles, while NAADP had no such effect. Analogous results were obtained when PI(3,5)P2 was applied to hTPC2 expressed in baker’s yeast giant vacuoles. Our results underscore the fundamental differences in the mode of current activation and ion selectivity between animal and plant TPC proteins and corroborate the PI(3,5)P2-mediated activation and Na+ selectivity of mammalian TPC2. 相似文献

Glucose avidity, high glycolysis and l-lactate production, regardless of oxygen availability, are the main traits of cancer metabolic reprogramming. The idea that mitochondria are dysfunctional in cancer, thus causing a glycolysis increase for ATP production and l-lactate accumulation as a dead-end product of glucose catabolism, has oriented cancer research for many years. However, it was shown that mitochondrial metabolism is essential for cancer cell proliferation and tumorigenesis and that l-lactate is a fundamental energy substrate with tumor growth-promoting and signaling capabilities. Nevertheless, the known ability of mitochondria to take up and oxidize l-lactate has remained ignored by cancer research. Beginning with a brief overview of the metabolic changes occurring in cancer, we review the present knowledge of l-lactate formation, transport, and intracellular oxidation and underline the possible role of l-lactate metabolism as energetic, signaling and anabolic support for cancer cell proliferation. These unexplored aspects of cancer biochemistry might be exploited for therapeutic benefit. 相似文献

Cornelia de Lange syndrome is a multisystem developmental disorder characterized by facial dysmorphisms, upper limb abnormalities, growth delay and cognitive retardation. Mutations in the NIPBL gene, a component of the cohesin complex, account for approximately half of the affected individuals. We report here that mutations in SMC1L1 (also known as SMC1), which encodes a different subunit of the cohesin complex, are responsible for CdLS in three male members of an affected family and in one sporadic case. 相似文献

Summary Bilirubin inhibited influx of potassium into Ehrlich ascites cells without altering efflux. The data showed that compared with ouabain, net potassium influx components were impaired in a higher degree by bilirubin. The reversal of this effect was shown, in our experimental conditions, only for ouabain.Acknowledgments.

In aerobic organisms, oxygen is a critical factor in tissue and organ morphogenesis from embryonic development throughout
post-natal life, as it regulates various intracellular pathways involved in cellular metabolism, proliferation, survival and
fate. In the mammalian central nervous system, oxygen plays a critical role in regulating the growth and differentiation state
of neural stem cells (NSCs), multipotent neuronal precursor cells that reside in a particular microenvironment called the
neural stem cell niche and that, under certain physiological and pathological conditions, differentiate into fully functional
mature neurons, even in adults. In both experimental and clinical settings, oxygen is one of the main factors influencing
NSCs. In particular, the physiological condition of mild hypoxia (2.5–5.0% O2) typical of neural tissues promotes NSC self-renewal; it also favors the success of engraftment when in vitro-expanded NSCs
are transplanted into brain of experimental animals. In this review, we analyze how O2 and specifically hypoxia impact on NSC self-renewal, differentiation, maturation, and homing in various in vitro and in vivo
settings, including cerebral ischemia, so as to define the O2 conditions for successful cell replacement therapy in the treatment of brain injury and neurodegenerative diseases. 相似文献

Haemoglobin C, which carries a glutamate-to-lysine mutation in the beta-globin chain, protects West African children against Plasmodium falciparum malaria. Mechanisms of protection are not established for the heterozygous (haemoglobin AC) or homozygous (haemoglobin CC) states. Here we report a marked effect of haemoglobin C on the cell-surface properties of P. falciparum-infected erythrocytes involved in pathogenesis. Relative to parasite-infected normal erythrocytes (haemoglobin AA), parasitized AC and CC erythrocytes show reduced adhesion to endothelial monolayers expressing CD36 and intercellular adhesion molecule-1 (ICAM-1). They also show impaired rosetting interactions with non-parasitized erythrocytes, and reduced agglutination in the presence of pooled sera from malaria-immune adults. Abnormal cell-surface display of the main variable cytoadherence ligand, PfEMP-1 (P. falciparum erythrocyte membrane protein-1), correlates with these findings. The abnormalities in PfEMP-1 display are associated with markers of erythrocyte senescence, and are greater in CC than in AC erythrocytes. Haemoglobin C might protect against malaria by reducing PfEMP-1-mediated adherence of parasitized erythrocytes, thereby mitigating the effects of their sequestration in the microvasculature. 相似文献
