[Abstract]  Mesenchymal stem/stromal cells (MSC) are adult stem cells which have been shown to improve survival, enhance bacterial clearance and alleviate inflammation in pre-clinical models of acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS) and sepsis. These diseases are characterised by uncontrolled inflammation often underpinned by bacterial infection. The mechanisms of MSC immunomodulatory effects are not fully understood yet. We sought to investigate MSC cell contact-dependent communication with alveolar macrophages (AM), professional phagocytes which play an important role in the lung inflammatory responses and anti-bacterial defence. With the use of a basic direct co-culture system, confocal microscopy and flow cytometry we visualised and effectively quantified MSC mitochondrial transfer to AM ... [摘要]  间充质干/基质细胞(MSC)是成年干细胞,已被证明可以改善急性呼吸窘迫综合征(ARDS)和败血症临床前模型中的存活,增强细菌清除和减轻炎症。这些疾病的特征在于通常受细菌感染支持的不受控制的炎症。 MSC免疫调节作用的机制尚未完全了解。我们试图研究与肺泡巨噬细胞(AM),在肺炎症反应和抗菌防御中起重要作用的专业吞噬细胞的MSC细胞接触依赖性通信。通过使用基本的直接共培养系统,共聚焦显微镜和流式细胞术,我们通过隧道纳米管(TNT)显现并有效量化了MSC线粒体转移到AM。为了模拟人类AM,在粒细胞巨噬细胞集落刺激因子(GM-CSF)存在下,从人供体血液中分离原代单核细胞并分化成巨噬细胞(单核细胞衍生的巨噬细胞,MDM),从而允许适应AM样表型(de Almeida等人,2000; Guilliams等人,2013)。人骨髓衍生的MSC用线粒体特异性荧光染色标记,广泛洗涤,以1:20(MSC / ...

[Abstract]  The mitochondrial paradigm for common disease proposes that mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) sequence variation can contribute to disease susceptibility and progression. To test this concept, we developed the Mitochondrial-nuclear eXchange (MNX) model, in which isolated embryonic pronuclei from one strain of species are implanted into an enucleated embryo of a different strain of the same species (e.g., C57BL/6 and C3H/HeN, Mus musculus), generating a re-constructed zygote harboring nuclear and mitochondrial genomes from different strains. Two-cell embryos are transferred to the ostia of oviducts in CD-1 pseudopregnant mice and developed to term. Nuclear genotype and mtDNA haplotype are verified in offspring, and females selected as founders for desired MNX colonies. By ... [摘要]  从植物组织提取的缩合单宁是酚醛树脂的合适替代物。它们的可能影响它们的化学反应性的分子结构可以通过在酸硫解和MALDI-TOF质谱之后使用HPLC-UV来评估。用半胱胺盐酸盐在酸性甲醇中溶解植物提取物导致缩合的单宁寡聚体的单体单元的释放,其可以通过与分析标准比较通过反相HPLC-UV进一步定量。使用2,5-二羟基苯甲酸作为基质和K sup +作为阳离子化试剂的MALDI-TOF质谱分析突出了单宁的分子结构特征(例如单体单元序列)低聚物。该方法允许估计平均和最大(可观察)聚合度,单体单元的类型和单宁单体的糖基化和/或酯化的存在。

[背景] 缩合单宁是由可从几种植物组织(例如软木树皮)中提取的黄烷-3-醇单体单元组成的多酚低聚物。它们已被认为是树脂配方(例如木材粘合剂和泡沫材料)中合成酚醛树脂的合适替代品。在缩合鞣酸中检测到的最常见的黄烷-3-醇单体,其羟基化模式和立体化学不同,如图1所示。
