Triptolide Inhibited Cytotoxicity of Differentiated PC12 Cells Induced by Amyloid-Beta25–35 via the Autophagy Pathway
Evidence shows that an abnormal deposition of amyloid beta-peptide25-35 (Aβ25-35) was the primary cause of the pathogenesis of Alzheimer's disease (AD). And the elimination of Aβ25-35 is considered an important target for the treatment of AD. Triptolide (TP), isolated from Tripterygium wilfordii Hook.f. (TWHF), has been shown to possess a broad spectrum of biological profiles, including neurotr...
متن کاملFABRICATION AND CHARACTERIZATION OFHIGH PERFORMANCE CERAMIC MEMBRANE HAVINGNANOMETRE PORES
Abstract: In this study, carbon nanotubes (CNTs) were grown directly in the pores of micro porous pyrex membranesand consequently ceramic membranes with very fine pores and high porosity were achieved. Our experiment was donein two stages. Initially cobalt powder with different percent was homogeneously mixed with pyrex powder. In order toproduce row membranes, each of these mixtures were compa...
متن کاملMembrane pores induced by magainin.
Magainin, found in the skin of Xenopus laevis, belongs to a broad class of antimicrobial peptides which kill bacteria by permeabilizing the cytoplasmic membrane but do not lyse eukaryotic cells. The 23-residue peptide has been shown to form an amphiphilic helix when associated with membranes. However, its molecular mechanism of action has been controversial. Oriented circular dichroism has dete...
متن کاملCharacterization of the pores in hydrous ferric oxide aggregates formed by freezing and thawing.
Hydrous ferric oxides (HFO) are efficient sorbents for inorganic and organic pollutants and therefore have great potentials in environmental science and engineering applications. Freezing and thawing of HFO suspensions leads to the formation of dense HFO aggregates. It facilitates the handling and increases the drying rate of HFO. In this study, we used a combination of pycnometry, gas adsorpti...
متن کاملCharacterization of biophysical properties of single chloride channel in rat brain mitochondrial inner membrane by channel incorporation into bilayer lipid membrane
Introduction: Recent studies have shown the presence of Cl- channels in heart and liver mitochondrial membranes. In this work, we have characterized the functional profile of a Cl- channel from rat brain mitochondria. Methods: After removing and homogenizing the rat brain, the supernatant was separately centrifuged in MSEdigitonin, H2O and Na2CO3 and mitochondrial inner membrane vesicles wer...
