Collagen degradation in ischaemic rat hearts.
Myocardial extracellular matrix is organized into a complex arrangement of intercellular and pericellular fibres and fibrils that serves as a supporting framework for contracting cells. Recent evidence suggests that changes in ventricular shape and function occurring after ischaemic injury may be related to alterations of this matrix. In this report we describe the rapid and extensive loss of c...
متن کاملAtorvastatin does not protect against ischemia-reperfusion damage in cholestatic rat livers
BACKGROUND Extrahepatic cholestasis sensitizes the liver to ischemia/reperfusion (I/R) injury during surgery for perihilar cholangiocarcinoma. It is associated with pre-existent sterile inflammation, microvascular perfusion defects, and impaired energy status. Statins have been shown to protect against I/R injury in normal and steatotic mouse livers. Therefore, the hepatoprotective properties o...
متن کاملCyclopamine attenuates acute warm ischemia reperfusion injury in cholestatic rat liver: hope for marginal livers.
Cholestasis is a significant risk factor for immediate hepatic failure due to ischemia reperfusion (I/R) injury in patients undergoing liver surgery or transplantation. We recently demonstrated that inhibition of Hedgehog (Hh) signaling with cyclopamine (CYA) before I/R prevents liver injury. In this study we hypothesized that Hh signaling may modulate I/R injury in cholestatic rat liver. Chole...
متن کاملNeutrophil Depletion Attenuates Placental Ischemia-Induced Hypertension in the Rat
Preeclampsia is characterized by reduced placental perfusion with placental ischemia and hypertension during pregnancy. Preeclamptic women also exhibit a heightened inflammatory state and greater number of neutrophils in the vasculature compared to normal pregnancy. Since neutrophils are associated with tissue injury and inflammation, we hypothesized that neutrophils are critical to placental i...
متن کاملThe degradation of acidsoluble collagen by rat-liver preparations.
nucleotide was increased, and, assuming that the product was derived from oligonucleotides and deoxyribonucleoside triphosphates, the synthesis amounted to 74% of the deoxyribonucleic acid primer. 4. The nucleotidyltransferase was inhibited and the lag phase extended by 3'-phosphoryl-terminal oligonucleotides from a splenic-deoxyribonuclease digest of deoxyribonucleic acid. 5. The compounds obt...
