Ciclopirox protects mitochondria from hydrogen peroxide toxicity.
1 The mitochondrial respiratory chain produces reactive oxygen species (ROS) during normal electron transport. Despite producing ROS, mitochondria are vulnerable to oxidative stress. Mitochondrial dysfunction has been associated with many degenerative diseases, making it important to identify compounds that protect mitochondria from ROS-mediated toxicity. Here we report that ciclopirox (CPX) bl...
متن کاملControl of tight junctional sealing: role of epidermal growth factor.
Epithelia can adjust the permeability of their paracellular permeation route to physiological requirements, pathological conditions, and pharmacological challenges. This is reflected by a transepithelial electrical resistance (TER) ranging from a few tenth to several thousands Omega.cm(2), depending on the degree of sealing of the tight junction (TJ). The present work is part of an effort to un...
متن کاملIncreased epidermal growth factor receptor expression in metaplastic bronchial epithelium.
Epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFr) is expressed in human bronchial epithelial cells, and non-small cell lung cancers express increased EGFr. Squamous metaplasia of the bronchial epithelium occurs in chronic smokers and is considered an early premalignant change. In this study, EGFr expression was examined in biopsies of histologically normal and metaplastic bronchial tissues obtained from ...
متن کاملCarbonic anhydrase III protects cells from hydrogen peroxide-induced apoptosis.
Carbonic anhydrase III (CA III; EC 4.2.1.1) is a cytoplasmic enzyme that exhibits a relatively low carbon dioxide hydratase activity. It is expressed at a very high level in skeletal muscle, where physical exercise has been shown to increase free radical production. In this work we show the effect of overexpression of CA III on cellular response to oxidative stress. Rat CA III cDNA was transfec...
متن کاملMultiple bile-duct hamartomas (Von Meyemburg complexes).
bar pain and showed multiple small hepatic nodules in a previously asymptomatic 37-year-old woman. Liver function tests and tumor markers were normal. Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) demonstrated multiple highly intense, regular nodules (less than 15 mm) with no communication to the bile tree (Fig. 1A). After intravenous gadolinium DTPA, some nodules showed peripheral enhancement from hepatic ...
