Syncytin is involved in breast cancer-endothelial cell fusions 总被引:2,自引:0,他引:2

Cancer cells can fuse spontaneously with normal host cells, including endothelial cells, and such fusions may strongly modulate
the biological behaviour of tumors. However, the underlying mechanisms are unknown. We now show that human breast cancer cell
lines and 63 out of 165 (38%) breast cancer specimens express syncytin, an endogenous retroviral envelope protein, previously
implicated in fusions between placental trophoblast cells. Additionally, endothelial and cancer cells are shown to express
ASCT-2, a receptor for syncytin. Syncytin antisense treatment decreases syncytin expression and inhibits fusions between breast
cancer cells and endothelial cells. Moreover, a syncytin inhibitory peptide also inhibits fusions between cancer and endothelial
cells. These results are the first to show that syncytin is expressed by human cancer cells and is involved in cancer-endothelial
cell fusions.

The martian polar caps are among the most dynamic regions on Mars, growing substantially in winter as a significant fraction of the atmosphere freezes out in the form of CO2 ice. Unusual dark spots, fans and blotches form as the south-polar seasonal CO2 ice cap retreats during spring and summer. Small radial channel networks are often associated with the location of spots once the ice disappears. The spots have been proposed to be simply bare, defrosted ground; the formation of the channels has remained uncertain. Here we report infrared and visible observations that show that the spots and fans remain at CO2 ice temperatures well into summer, and must be granular materials that have been brought up to the surface of the ice, requiring a complex suite of processes to get them there. We propose that the seasonal ice cap forms an impermeable, translucent slab of CO2 ice that sublimates from the base, building up high-pressure gas beneath the slab. This gas levitates the ice, which eventually ruptures, producing high-velocity CO2 vents that erupt sand-sized grains in jets to form the spots and erode the channels. These processes are unlike any observed on Earth. 相似文献

Résumé La saccharine a été fixée par son azote imidique sur le C6 du glucose, par l'action de la saccharine sodée sur un dérivé protégé dup-toluénesulfonyl-6-O-d-glucose, et élimination des groupes protecteurs pour former un composé hydrosoluble. La saveur amère peut être attribuée à l'élimination du proton imidique de la saccharine. 相似文献

The neural computations used to represent olfactory information in the brain have long been investigated. Recent studies in the insect antennal lobe suggest that precise temporal and/or spatial patterns of activity underlie the recognition and discrimination of different odours, and that these patterns may be strengthened by associative learning. It remains unknown, however, whether these activity patterns persist when odour intensity varies rapidly and unpredictably, as often occurs in nature. Here we show that with naturally intermittent odour stimulation, spike patterns recorded from moth antennal-lobe output neurons varied predictably with the fine-scale temporal dynamics and intensity of the odour. These data support the hypothesis that olfactory circuits compensate for contextual variations in the stimulus pattern with high temporal precision. The timing of output neuron activity is constantly modulated to reflect ongoing changes in stimulus intensity and dynamics that occur on a millisecond timescale. 相似文献

Plectasin is a peptide antibiotic with therapeutic potential from a saprophytic fungus 总被引:4,自引:0,他引:4

Animals and higher plants express endogenous peptide antibiotics called defensins. These small cysteine-rich peptides are active against bacteria, fungi and viruses. Here we describe plectasin-the first defensin to be isolated from a fungus, the saprophytic ascomycete Pseudoplectania nigrella. Plectasin has primary, secondary and tertiary structures that closely resemble those of defensins found in spiders, scorpions, dragonflies and mussels. Recombinant plectasin was produced at a very high, and commercially viable, yield and purity. In vitro, the recombinant peptide was especially active against Streptococcus pneumoniae, including strains resistant to conventional antibiotics. Plectasin showed extremely low toxicity in mice, and cured them of experimental peritonitis and pneumonia caused by S. pneumoniae as efficaciously as vancomycin and penicillin. These findings identify fungi as a novel source of antimicrobial defensins, and show the therapeutic potential of plectasin. They also suggest that the defensins of insects, molluscs and fungi arose from a common ancestral gene. 相似文献

Zusammenfassung Etwa 40% von 100 Zellen vom visuellen Kortex des BeuteltieresDidelphis virginiana konnten entweder von der rechten oder linken Retina gereizt werden. In der Regel war eine Retina dominant. Areale Summation innerhalb und zwischen den monokulären Feldern war vorhanden, obschon gegenseitige Hemmung innerhalb eines rezeptiven Feldes nicht beobachtet wurde. 相似文献

以管状金属钛网为支撑体,采用浸涂工艺在其外表面依次制备了气体扩散层、Pt/C催化层和Nafion 膜,制得管状阴极,并分析了影响电池性能的因素.研究结果表明,采用浆液浸涂工艺制备的阴极气体扩散层与催化层,均具有有利于气体传质和电化学反应的多孔结构.随着阴极催化剂载量的增加,单电池的性能也逐渐提高.当Pt载量为4.3 mg/cm2时,常温下以空气作为氧化剂,电池功率密度峰值约为12.3 mW/cm2,而同样的电池,在60 ℃下以氧气作为氧化剂,则可以达到40.0 mW/cm2,这表明温度和氧化剂种类与催化剂载量一样,是影响电池性能的重要因素.电池经约100 h工作时间后进行的等电压放电试验结果表明,该管状Ti基阴极的电化学稳定性优良. 相似文献
