4.Effects of nitric oxide on mitochondrial function in cardiomyocytes:pathophysiological relevance
Chinese Journal of Pathophysiology 2000;0(08):-
It is now clear that both endogenous and exogenous sources of nitric oxide(NO) exert important modulatory effects on cardiac mitochondrial function.There is also growing evidence that NO can be produced within the mitochondria themselves.NO can influence respiratory activity,both through direct effects on the respiratory chain or indirectly via modulation of mitochondrial calcium accumulation.At pathological concentrations,NO causes irreversible alterations in respiratory function and also interacts with reactive oxygen species(ROS) to form reactive nitrogen species(RNS),which may further impair mitochondrial respiration and even lead to open the mitochondrial permeability transition pore and induce cell death.Diabetes,aging,myocardial ischemia,and heart failure are all associated with altered ROS generation,which can alter the delicate regulatory balance of effects of NO in the mitochondria.

Objective To explore the correlation of the apoptosis of peripheral blood mononuclear cell (PBMC) with plasma 8-iso-prostaglandin F2? (8-iso-PGF2?) level in order to confirm the peroxidation damage of hyperbilirubinemia in neonates with jaundice.Me-thods One hundred and twenty-nine neonates who were 2 to 7 days old were divided into 4 groups:slight jaundice (43 cases),moderate jaundice (38 cases),serious jaundice (18 cases),and healthy control(30 cases)groups.Plasma 8-iso-PGF2? levels were assayed by enzyme immunoassay(EIA),and the apoptosis rates of PBMC were determined by flow cytometry.Results 1.There was no significant difference in the apoptosis rate of PBMC between normal and slight jaundice neonates (P=0.108);apoptosis rate of PBMC was increasing with the aggravation of jaundice.2.Plasma 8-iso-PGF2? level in normal neonates was 14.74?6.71 ng/L,there was no difference between normal neonates and neonates with slight jaundice(P=0.502).Plasma 8-iso-PGF2? levels in neonates with moderate and serious jaundice were much higher(Pa=0).3.Positive correlation existed between plasma 8-iso-PGF2? level and PBMC apoptosis rate (r=0.602 P=0).Conclusions Hyperbilirubinemia can induce peroxidation damage,resulting in increase of PBMC apoptosis.Plasma 8-iso-PGF2? level can accurately eva-luate the peroxidation damage in neonates with jaundice.

Objective:To study the influernce of circadian genes hClock and hBmal1 on the chemosensitivity of SGC-7901 cells. Methods: SGC-7901 cells were cultivated under continuous darkness in vitro.The expression levels of the two main circadian genes hClock and hBmal1 at the different time were determined by real-time polymerase chain reaction(PCR). Docetaxel was administered at the peak and nadir time point respectively. The inhibition of SGC-7901 cell proliferation was measured using a CCK-8 kit. Result:The expression of circadian genes hClock and hBmal1 varied at different times, as shown by real-time PCR. The expression of circadian genes hClock and hBmal1 showed Phase oseillation. The maximum expression of hClock and hBmal1 mRNA was at 20:00. whereas their minimum expression was at 08:00. The inhibition ratio of docetaxel to SGC-7901 cells at the maximum expression of hClock and hBmal1 genes was lower than that at the minimum expression. Conclusion:Circadian Genes hClock and hBmal1 can reduce the drug sensitivity of SGC-7901 cell line to docetaxel in vitro.
