Anticholinesterasic drugs: tacrine but not physostigmine, accumulates in acidic compartments of the cells.
Tacrine (THA) and physostigmine (PHS) have been used in Alzheimer's disease therapy for their anticholinesterasic activity. Here we show that THA is taken up in rat lysosomes in an energy-dependent manner, and that it is also accumulated in acidic compartments of rat thymocytes and neuroblastoma cells. A concentration of THA less than 1 mM dissipated the pH gradient (delta pH) in all the above ...
متن کاملHemopexin is synthesized in peripheral nerves but not in central nervous system and accumulates after axotomy.
In adult mammals, injured axons regrow over long distances in peripheral nerves but fail to do so in the central nervous system. Analysis of molecular components of tissue environments that allow axonal regrowth revealed a dramatic increase in the level of hemopexin, a heme-transporting protein, in long-term axotomized peripheral nerve. In contrast, hemopexin did not accumulate in lesioned opti...
متن کاملBeta Defensin-2 Is Reduced in Central but Not in Distal Airways of Smoker COPD Patients
BACKGROUND Altered pulmonary defenses in chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) may promote distal airways bacterial colonization. The expression/activation of Toll Like receptors (TLR) and beta 2 defensin (HBD2) release by epithelial cells crucially affect pulmonary defence mechanisms. METHODS The epithelial expression of TLR4 and of HBD2 was assessed in surgical specimens from current...
متن کاملHeamagglutinin Conserved Domain (HA2) Prepared in Prokaryotic System is Immunogenic in Mice but not Protective against Lethal Influenza Challenge
Background and Aims: Influenza vaccine production process is time-consuming with little-to-no cross-protection which requires annual adjustment. The construction of a universal vaccine to deal with the pandemics and epidemics which occasionally threat human population is the aim of many researches worldwide. Today, influenza vaccines are mostly against two major antigenic proteins, hemagglutini...
متن کاملThe EFL Pre-Service Teacher Training in Iran: Is it Adequate or not?
Teacher training programs should provide evidence that they are preparing teacher trainees for their teaching career. However, the literature contains few evaluation reports of the layout of the pre-service EFL teacher training program in Iranian EFL context, a gap which this study tries to fill. The participants of the study were high school EFL teachers (n = 346), teacher trainees (n = 97) an...
