Insertion of the amyloid precursor protein into lipid monolayers: effects of cholesterol and apolipoprotein E.
APP (amyloid precursor protein), together with Chol (cholesterol) and ApoE (apolipoprotein E), has been linked to Alzheimer's disease. We have examined the hypothesis that interaction of APP with the lipid membranes is modulated by Chol and ApoE. Insertion of APP into lipid monolayers was first evidenced as an increase in the surface pressure. APP injected into a subphase induced a substantial ...
متن کاملMechanical, rheological and release behaviors of a poloxamer 407/ poloxamer 188/carbopol 940 thermosensitive composite hydrogel.
The aims of this study were to prepare a thermosensitive composite hydrogel (TCH) by mixing 24% (w/v) poloxamer 407 (P407), 16% (w/v) poloxamer 188 (P188) and 0.1% (w/v) carbopol 940 (C940), and to determine the effect of natural borneol/ (2-hydroxypropyl)-β-cyclodextrin (NB/HP-β-CD) inclusion complex on the phase transition temperature, mechanical, rheological properties, and release behaviors...
متن کاملElectrodelivery of Drugs into Cancer Cells in the Presence of Poloxamer 188
In the present study it is shown that poloxamer 188, added before or immediately after an electrical pulse used for electroporation, decreases the number of dead cells and at the same time does not reduce the number of reversible electropores through which small molecules (cisplatin, bleomycin, or propidium iodide) can pass/diffuse. It was suggested that hydrophobic sections of poloxamer 188 mo...
متن کاملEffect of the non-ionic surfactant Poloxamer 188 on passive permeability of poorly soluble drugs across Caco-2 cell monolayers.
Drug permeability of the model drugs ketoprofen and nadolol across Caco-2 cell monolayers was determined in the absence and presence of the non-ionic surfactant Poloxamer 188 (Pluronic® F68, P-188). Stringent controls confirmed that P-188 in concentrations up to 50 mg/ml did not adversely affect cell viability or monolayer integrity. Equilibrium experiments confirmed that the drugs were merely ...
متن کاملPoloxamer 188 enhances apoptosis in a human leukemia cell line.
Poloxamer block copolymers have been studied in multiple applications as drug delivery systems (DDS). These A-B-A amphiphilic block copolymers up-regulate the expression of selected genes in cells and alter genetic responses to antineoplastic agents in cancer. One example is poloxamer 188, also known as pluronic F68, which may be promising as a carrier in DDS. To clarify the possible mechanisti...
