چکیده

Introduction HIF-induced tumor neovascularization has become an important target of anticancer therapy. While the current use of angiogenesis inhibitors aims at converting cancer to a chronic manageable disease [1], further modifications of the hypoxic tumor microenvironment are needed to achieve complete tumor regression. It has previously been proposed to take advantage of the increased production of protons under drug-enhanced hypoxia [2]. Thus, the central idea is to treat tumors with additional drugs designed to decrease intracellular and increase extracellular pH. The purpose of the current study is to contribute to the validation of the suggested treatment method. Effects of modulations of multiple mechanisms of glycolytic activity and pH regulation on intracellular and extracellular pH (pHi, pHe) are being investigated. To this end, we chose a model system (ras-transformed fibroblasts) in which several mutations where engineered to manipulate glycolysis and pH. Effects of these mutations were studied in xenograft models of nude mice, using in vivo magnetic resonance spectroscopy and imaging. Intra and extracellular pH were determined simultaneously, in conjunction with tumor morphology and necrosis, and were complemented with histological data.

Fingerprint of cell metabolism in the experimentally observed interstitial pH and pO2 in solid tumors.

Understanding cancer cell metabolism and targeting associated pathways is a field of increasing interest. Helmlinger and colleagues measured average pH and pO(2) as functions of distance from a single blood vessel on the micrometer scale. We show that these results provide unique insight into cancer cell metabolism in vivo when combined with an appropriate mathematical model. We calculate pH as...

Involvement of Cytochrome P-450 in n-Butyl Nitrite-Induced Hepatocyte Cytotoxicity

      Addition of n-butyl nitrite to isolated rat hepatocytes caused an immediate glutathione depletion followed by an inhibition of mitochondrial respiration, inhi- bition of glycolysis and ATP depletion. At cytotoxic butyl nitrite concentrations, lipid  peroxidation  occurred  before  the  plasma  membrane  was  disrupted. Cytochrome P-450 inhibitors inhibited peroxynitrite formation and prev...

Effect of Medium pH on Antibiotic Activity against Syrian Brucella spp. Isolates

Background: Brucellosis is an endemic zoonosis in Syria, affecting large numbers of animals. There are an increasing number of cases in humans. Brucella is a facultative intracellular pathogen, a small, non-motile, Gram-negative coccobacillus, which causes abortion in domestic animals and a febrile illness in humans. Methods: One hundred isolates collected from different Syrian regions were con...
