Involvement of glyceraldehyde-3-phosphate dehydrogenase in the X-Ray resistance of HeLa cells.

چکیده
We investigated changes in the sub-cellular distribution of glycelaldehyde-3-phosphate dehydrogenase (GAPDH) after X-ray irradiation in HeLa cells. Twenty-four h after irradiation at 5 Gy, nuclear GAPDH levels increased 2.6-fold, whereas total GAPDH levels increased only 1.2-fold. Knockdown of GAPDH using specific small interfering RNA (siRNA) led to sensitization to X-ray-induced cell death. These results suggest that GAPDH plays a role in the radioresponse.

Galectin-1 and superoxide dismutase are two known molecules in the wound healing process that induce such healing by different mechanisms in the wound site. Larval therapy is one of the methods use by Lucilia sericata fly larvae, nowadays returned to the list of therapeutic methods despite chronic diabetic ulcers and antibiotic resistance of bacteria. In this study, we aimed to evaluat...
متن کاملCharacterization of the adherence properties of human Lactobacilli strains to be used as vaginal probiotics.
In the present work, the adhesion of 43 human lactobacilli isolates to mucin has been studied. The most adherent strains were selected, and their capacities to adhere to three epithelial cell lines were studied. All intestinal strains and one vaginal isolate adhered to HT-29 cells. The latter was the most adherent to Caco-2 cells, although two of the intestinal isolates were also highly adheren...

The chain oxidation of glyceraldehyde-3-phosphate dehydrogenase *NADH by perhydroxyl radicals and propagated by molecular oxygen was studied by the xanthine-xanthine oxidase system, ‘OCo y-ray, and pulse radiolysis. The chain length, amount of NADH oxidized per HOz generated, increases with increasing acidity of the medium and reaches a value of 73 at pH 5.0. The rate constant for the oxidati...
متن کاملEffect of low dose X-ray on membrane fluidity of thalassemic red blood cells
Background: Chest X-ray is one of the examinations required for an annual health checkup. The interaction of radiation to the medium produces free radicals, which consequently causes biological changes either structural or properties of the cells. Whether the radiation from Chest X-ray upright technique affects the plasma membrane fluidity of thalassemic red blood cells (RBCs) is still unclear....

Crystals of apo- and holo-D-glyceraldehyde-3-phosphate dehydrogenase from the tail muscle of the Mediterranean lobster Palinurus vulgaris, previously found to be suitable for single crystal microspectrophotometric studies of catalytic activity in the crystalline state, have been examined by x-ray crystallography. The two forms are isomorphous, space group C 2 with cell dimensions a=128.4 A, b=9...
