Εισαγωγή: Η υπερπλασία του έσω χιτώνα παίζει μείζων ρόλο στην επαναστένωση (in-stentrestenosis). Στην παρούσα μελέτη αξιολογήσαμε in vitro την επίδραση της D-24851(κυτταροτοξική ουσία που σταματά τον κυτταρικό κύκλο στο στάδιο G2-M) στονπολλαπλασιασμό των λείων μυϊκών κυττάρων και μελετήσαμε την ασφάλεια και τηνδραστικότητα μίας ενδαγγειακής πρόθεσης (stent) επικαλυμμένης με πολυμερή ουσία πουαπελευθερώνει την D-24851, στην αναστολή της υπερπλασίας του έσω χιτώνα χωρίς ναεμποδίζει την αναγεννητική ικανότητα του ενδοθηλίου σε in vivo πειραματικό μοντέλο.Υλικό και Μέθοδοι: Γυμνά μεταλλικά stent (n=6), stent επικαλυμμένα μόνο με πολυμερήουσία (polymer-coated, n=7) και stent επικαλυμμένα με πολυμερή ουσία πουαπελευθερώνουν 31±1μg (low-dose, n=7), 216±8 μg (high-dose, n=6) ή 1774±39 μg(extreme-dose, n=5) της D-24851 εμφυτεύτηκαν στις μηριαίες αρτηρίες λευκών New Zealandκουνελιών. Τα πειραματόζωα θυσιάστηκαν στις 28 ημέρες για ιστομορφομετρική ανάλυση.Για την αξιολόγηση της ενδοθηλιακής αναγέννησης στις 90 ημέρες, 12 πειραματόζωαχρησιμοποιήθηκαν για την τοποθέτηση polymer-coated (n=3), low dose (n=3), high dose(n=3) or extreme dose (n=3) ενδαγγειακών προθέσεων.Αποτελέσματα: In vitro η D-24851 αναστέλλει την υπερπλασία των λείων μυϊκών κυττάρωνκαι επάγει την απόπτωση τους χωρίς να αυξάνει την επαγωγή της heat shock protein 70(HSP-70), μία κυτταροπροστατευτική και αντι-αποπτωτική πρωτεΐνη. Η θεραπεία με lowdoseD-24851 stents συνδυάστηκε με 38% (P=0.029) μείωση της υπερπλαστικής περιοχήςτου έσω χιτώνα και 35% (P=0.003) μείωση της επι τοις εκατό στένωσης του αυλού σεσύγκριση με τα γυμνά μεταλλικά stents. Ο τραυματισμός και η φλεγμονή του αρτηριακού τοιχώματος δεν παρουσίασαν σημαντικές διαφορές μεταξύ των ομάδων. Τα επικαλυμμέναμόνο με πολυμερή ουσία stents εμφάνισαν παρόμοια ανάπτυξη νεοιστού σε σύγκριση με ταγυμνά μεταλλικά stents. Ωστόσο, όλες οι ομάδες των stents με D-24851 παρουσίασαν ατελήενδοθηλιοποίηση συγκρινόμενα με τα polymer-coated stents.Συμπεράσματα: Οι επικεκαλυμμένες ενδαγγειακές προσθέσεις με πολυμερή ουσία καιχαμηλη δόση D-24851 μειώνουν σημαντικά την υπερπλασιά του έσω χιτώνα. Λόγω τηςατελούς ενδοθηλιοποίησης, μακράς διάρκειας μελέτες είναι απαραίτητες για ναπιστοποιήσουν ότι η αναστολή του νεοιστού παραμένει και μετά τις 28 ημέρες.

Coagulansin-A (withanolide) is the steroidal lactone obtained from Withania coagulans, which belong to Solanaceae family. The coagulansin-A induces heat shock protein 70 (HSP-70), which acts as a cellular antioxidant. This study was conducted to investigate the effect of coagulansin-A on bovine oocytes maturation and embryo development in vitro. All these oocytes were aspirated from the ovaries obtained from Korean Hanwoo cows at a local abattoir. To analyse the possible beneficial effect of coagulansin-A on bovine oocytes maturation in vitro, 355 oocytes per group (control and treatment) in seven replicates were subjected with three concentrations i.e. (1, 5, and 10 µM) of coagulansin-A. The coagulansin-A was added in the in vitro-matured (IVM) media for 20 to 22 h followed by IVF for 18 to 22 h, and after fertilization the fertilized oocytes were transferred to IVC1 media for 3 days. After 3 days, the cleavage rate was checked and the 8-cell stage embryos were transferred to IVC2 media and embryo development was checked at Day 8. The culture was carried out at 5% CO2 and 38.5°C. The results indicated that among the three concentrations of Coagulansin-A, only 5 µM remarkably (P < 0.05) improved embryo development (Day 8 blastocyst), being 27.30% and 40.01% for control and treated groups, respectively. This concentration also significantly (P < 0.05) encouraged the activation of HSP-70, having 16.44 arbitrary units (AU) and 35.41 AU integral optical density (IOD) for control and treated groups, respectively. The immunofluorescence analysis revealed that 5 µM coagulansin-A supplementation significantly (P < 0.05) inhibited oxidative stress and inflammation during bovine embryo development in vitro by decreasing IOD of 8-Oxoguanosine (8-OxoG) from 28.12 AU in control to 18.06 AU for the treated group and nuclear factor kappa B (NF-kB) IOD (P < 0.05) from 42.25 AU to 21.80 for control and treated groups, respectively. Additionally, the results obtained from terminal deoxynucleotidyl transferase TUNEL assay confirmed that coagulansin-A treatment reduced the bovine embryo DNA damage significantly (P < 0.05) from 7.4 ± 0.375 to 5.7 ± 0.287 and improved the embryo quality (P < 0.05) with mean cell numbers of 127.7 ± 4.161 and 150.1 ± 3.624 per embryo for control and coagulansin-A treated groups, respectively. This study provides new information regarding the mechanisms by which coagulansin-A promotes bovine oocyte maturation and embryo development in vitro.

ABSTRACT Stage conversion between bradyzoites and tachyzoites was investigated in C57BL/6 mice chronically infected with the ME-49 strain of Toxoplasma gondii. In order to promote bradyzoite-tachyzoite conversion, mice were treated in vivo with neutralizing doses of anti-gamma interferon (IFN-γ) or anti-tumor necrosis factor alpha (TNF-α) antibodies. Expression of parasite-specific antigens SAG-1, SAG-2, and heat shock protein 70 (Hsp-70) was visualized in the central nervous system by immunocytochemistry and measured by photometric assay. The immunosuppressive effect of anti-IFN-γ or anti-TNF-α treatment was immediate, leading to parasite stage conversion as indicated by the increased expression of tachyzoite-specific antigens (SAG-1 and SAG-2) and by rapid parasite replication. We also observed expression of high levels of Hsp-70 during a short period of conversion of bradyzoites to tachyzoites. Our data suggest that Hsp-70 may have an important role in the process of bradyzoite-tachyzoite conversion during the reactivation of chronic toxoplasmosis.

Mitochondrial heat shock protein 70 (mt-Hsp70) has been shown to play an important role in facilitating import into, as well as folding and assembly of nuclear-encoded proteins in the mitochondrial matrix. Here, we describe a role for mt-Hsp70 in chaperoning proteins encoded by mitochondrial DNA and synthesized within mitochondria. The availability of mt-Hsp70 function influences the pattern of proteins synthesized in mitochondria of yeast both in vivo and in vitro. In particular, we show that mt-Hsp70 acts in maintaining the var1 protein, the only mitochondrially encoded subunit of mitochondrial ribosomes, in an assembly competent state, especially under heat stress conditions. Furthermore, mt-Hsp70 helps to facilitate assembly of mitochondrially encoded subunits of the ATP synthase complex. By interacting with the ATP-ase 9 oligomer, mt-Hsp70 promotes assembly of ATP-ase 6, and thereby protects the latter protein from proteolytic degradation. Thus mt-Hsp70 by acting as a chaperone for proteins encoded by the mitochondrial DNA, has a critical role in the assembly of supra-molecular complexes.
