Background. Radiotherapy is commonly used to treat breast and thoracic cancers but it also causes delayed microvascular damage and increases the risk of cardiac mortality. Endothelial cell proliferation and revascularization are crucial to restore microvasculature damage and maintain function of the irradiated heart. We have therefore examined the potential of bone marrow-derived endothelial progenitor cells (BM-derived EPCs) for restoration of radiation-induced microvascular damage. Material & Methods. 16 Gy was delivered to the heart of adult C57BL/6 mice. Mice were injected with BM-derived EPCs, obtained from Eng+/+ or Eng+/− mice, 16 weeks and 28 weeks after irradiation. Morphological damage was evaluated at 40 weeks in transplanted mice, relative to radiation only and age-matched controls. Results. Cardiac irradiation decreased microvascular density and increased endothelial damage in surviving capillaries (decrease alkaline phosphatase expression and increased von Willebrand factor). Microvascular damage was not diminished by treatment with BM-derived EPCs. However, BM-derived EPCs from both Eng+/+ and Eng+/− mice diminished radiation-induced collagen deposition. Conclusion. Treatment with BM-derived EPCs did not restore radiation-induced microvascular damage but it did inhibit fibrosis. Endoglin deficiency did not impair this process.

Full textAbstract:
Cell-bound and extracellular acid and alkaline phosphatase activity have been studied in Myxococcus xanthus strains DK101, DK1050, DK2834, and DK2836. Both phosphatases were released into a liquid medium during vegetative growth and the levels were similar in all strains. On solid media, M. xanthus DK101 showed maximum activity at the end of the developmental process, when mature myxospores appeared. An increase in phosphatase activity was also observed in glycerol-induced myxospores. A transitory increase in phosphatase activity occurred during the germination of both glycerol-induced and fruiting-body myxospores, although the activity of both phosphatases in fruiting-body myxospores was greater than that in glycerol-induced ones. Key words: acid phosphatase, alkaline phosphatase, Myxococcus xanthus.

Guinea pig neutrophils contain membrane-bound and soluble phosphatases that catalyze the dephosphorylation of inositol (1,4,5)-trisphosphate [Ins(1,4,5)P3]. The activities were 5.1 +/- 0.2 and 1.3 +/- 0.2 (SD; n = 5) nmoles phosphate (Pi) released/min/10(7) cell equivalents, respectively. The membrane-bound enzyme dephosphorylated many substrates (e.g., beta-glycerophosphate), exhibited alkaline pH optima, and was inhibited by levamisole. In contrast, the soluble phosphatase was specific for Ins(1,4,5)P3, exhibited a neutral pH optimum, and was insensitive to levamisole. A cerium-based ultrastructural cytochemical procedure was employed to identify the subcellular sites of the membrane-bound activity. Staining was observed on the exterior of the plasmalemma and in a population of granules. Staining in the granules was observed only in permeabilized cells. Treatment of neutrophils with p-diazobenzenesulfonate (DBSA) (4.0 mM) for 20 min at 37 degrees C blocked the cytochemical reaction on the cell surface using beta-glycerophosphate as the substrate, but did not affect the staining of the granules on subsequent permeabilization. In biochemical studies, this treatment with DBSA inhibited the membrane-bound activity by c. 50% but did not affect the soluble phosphatase. Therefore, the membrane-bound phosphatase is, in fact, an alkaline phosphatase that resides in locales not accessible to Ins(1,4,5)P3 generated during cell stimulation. Breakdown of Ins(1,4,5)P3 generated during cell stimulation, therefore, would be catalyzed by the soluble enzyme.

Abstract To determine if pulmonary hypertension (PH) is associated with increased mortality in children with sickle-cell disease (SCD), we prospectively followed 88 pediatric patients for a mean of 3 years after echocardiographic screening for PH. Subjects (45 males, 43 females) were 5–20 years old (median 13) at initial screening and included 59 SS, 23 SC, 4 S/β0Thalassemia, 1 S/β+Thalassemia and 1 S/HPFH. PH was defined as tricuscipid regurgitant jet velocity (TRV) of ³2.5 m/s. Of the 88 subjects, 18 (20%) had TRV ³2.5 m/s (median 2.6, range 2.5–3.1). Subjects with PH ranged from 7 to 19 years old (median 15), were predominantly male (12 of 18) and included 14 (78%) SS, 2 SC, 2 S/β0Thalassemia. After a mean follow-up of 36.3 ± 9.4 (SD) months, all 18 patients with PH were alive. None had received specific treatment for PH; one had undergone a successful bone marrow transplant from a matched sibling donor. After a mean follow-up of 33.5 ± 13.3 months, 67 subjects with normal TRV were alive; 3 had been lost to follow-up. To compare risk factors for PH in our children with those reported for adults, we reviewed the clinical data for our subjects. Children with PH had significantly increased serum lactate dehydrogenase (LDH; P=0.04), higher platelet count (P=0.02), and, in males, a history of priapism (P=0.009). No significant differences were observed with respect to age, gender, sickle-cell type, white blood cell count, hemoglobin, reticulocyte count, bilirubin, aspartate aminotransferase, alanine aminotransferase, alkaline phosphatase, creatinine, ferritin, history of painful crisis, acute chest syndrome, asthma, splenectomy, or hydroxyurea therapy. To further examine the association of PH and hemolysis, a subanalysis was done excluding 18 chronically transfused patients because transfusion can alter laboratory indicators of hemolysis. Independent variables with P≤0.1 on univariate analysis (LDH, female gender, and platelet count) were entered into a logistic regression model. Only LDH was independently associated with PH (Odds Ratio=1.6, 95% CI=1.2–2.1, P=0.004). Our results show that PH diagnosed by Doppler echocardiography was not associated with an increased risk of death in children with SCD followed for a mean of 3 years. A greatly increased risk of death (rate ratio, 10.1) has been reported in adults followed for a mean of 1.5 years (N Eng J Med2004;350:886–95). In our children, as in the adults, increased LDH, a marker of hemolysis, and, in males, a history of priapism were associated with PH. By contrast, our children with PH did not have increases in serum creatinine, direct bilirubin, alkaline phosphatase and ferritin that have been linked epidemiologically to PH in adults with SCD (Pediatr Hematol Onc2007;24:159–70). These findings suggest that PH of itself may not be a direct cause of death in SCD. Rather, PH may be a manifestation of progressive, cumulative organ damage resulting from chronic hemolysis and systemic vasculopathy that ultimately leads to increased mortality in adulthood. Early recognition and preventive therapy for increased hemolysis may be needed to avert premature death in adults with SCD.

Full textAbstract:
We describe a quantitative histochemical method for demonstration of five N-acetyl-glucosamine binding lectins in the syncytiotrophoblast of human term placenta. The method employs biotinylated lectins and alkaline phosphatase-conjugated avidin. The alkaline phosphatase activity is detected by using 5-bromo-4-chloro-indoxyl phosphate as the substrate and nitroblue tetrazolium as the capture agent. The effect of 13 fixative solutions on specific lectin binding and nonspecific background staining was quantified by microspectrophotometry. Acid fixatives or fixatives containing mercuric chloride, e.g., Carnoy's and Zenker's fixatives, gave intense specific lectin binding and low background staining. Glutaraldehyde, carbodiimide, and ethanol resulted in low specific lectin binding and a very high background staining that was mainly due to endogenous placental alkaline phosphatase. Lectin binding to N-acetyl-galactosamine, mannose, galactose, and fucose was also significantly higher in sections from tissues fixed in an acid fixative compared with a neutral buffered fixative. Unfixed cryosections revealed a considerably lower degree of specific lectin binding compared with sections from fixed tissues. The activity of endogenous placental alkaline phosphatase was inhibited dose-dependently by mercuric chloride and decreased with L-phenylalanine concentration over the range of 7.8 x 10(-4) M to 5 x 10(-2) M, after which there was no further inhibition. Calf intestinal-type alkaline phosphatase conjugated to avidin was not inhibited by 5 x 10(-2) M L-phenylalanine. Endogenous placental biotin did not contribute significantly to background staining. Despite the high level of placental alkaline phsophatase, the intestinal-type alkaline phosphatase can be used as a marker enzyme in the sensitive ABC technique, provided that the nonspecific background is measured and substracted. Moreover, it is advisable to use an acid- and/or mercuric chloride-containing fixative and to add L-phenylalanine during incubation steps.

As an important DNA 3′-phosphatase, alkaline phosphatase can repair damaged DNA caused by replication and recombination. It is essential to measure the level of alkaline phosphatase to indicate some potential diseases, such as cancer, related to alkaline phosphatase. Here, we designed a simple and fast method to detect alkaline phosphatase quantitively. When alkaline phosphatase is present, the resulting poly T-DNA with a 3′-hydroxyl end was cleaved by exonuclease I, prohibiting the formation of fluorescent copper nanoparticles. However, the fluorescent copper nanoparticles can be monitored with the absence of alkaline phosphatase. Hence, we can detect alkaline phosphatase with this turn-off strategy. The proposed method is able to quantify the concentration of alkaline phosphatase with the LOD of 0.0098 U/L. Furthermore, we utilized this method to measure the effects of inhibitor Na3VO4 on alkaline phosphatase. In addition, it was successfully applied to quantify the level of alkaline phosphatase in human serum. The proposed strategy is sensitive, selective, cost effective, and timesaving, having a great potential to detect alkaline phosphatase quantitatively in clinical diagnosis.

ABSTRACTThe development of efficient water oxidation catalyst is a major path to realize water splitting systems, which could benefit high performance and cost-effective metal-air batteries, fuel cells and solar energy conversion. To date, the rare crustal abundant platinum group metals rule this sector with Pt-alloys being the best for oxygen reduction reaction (ORR) and ruthenium oxides for oxygen evolution reaction (OER) in acidic solution. However, they show poor stability and are too expensive for large scale applications. Moreover, oxygen reduction in basic solutions can otherwise be catalysed by metal oxide with non-precious earth abundant transition metals (e.g. Fe, Co, Ni). Hence, there is a massive demand to explore noble metal free bifunctional electrocatalysts. In this work, we present the electrocatalytic activity of three cobalt based sodium phosphates namely NaCoPO4 (with one phosphate), Na2CoP2O7 (with two phosphate) NaFe2Co(PO4)3 (with three phosphate). Synthesized by solution combustion route, all these phosphates confirmed phase purity. NaCoPO4 and Na2CoP2O7 adopted orthorhombic structure with Pnma and Pna21 space group respectively; whereas NaFe2Co(PO4)3 crystallized in monoclinic (C2/c) framework. Electrocatalytic activity of these cobalt phosphates were inspected by linear sweep voltammetry with rotating disk electrode (RDE). All three showed promising bifunctional activity. In fact, the ORR activities of both orthorhombic cobalt phosphates are comparable to Vulcan carbon and Pt/C. OER activity of Na2CoP2O7 overrode other phosphates. The bifunctional activity and good stability of these sodium cobalt phosphates stem from cobalt ions and stabilization of the catalytic centres by the phosphate frameworks. The present work builds a detail structure-property correlation in these phosphate systems and also demonstrates the possibility of utilizing these sodium cobalt phosphates as alternate cost-effective, novel electrocatalysts for efficient OER/ORR activity in alkaline solution.

Abstract Light-emitting chemical reactions (chemiluminescence, CL) and biological reactions (bioluminescence, BL) have a diverse range of analytical applications but relatively few have been adopted by routine clinical laboratories. Advantages of CL and BL assays include sensitivity (attomole and sub-attomole detection limits), speed (signal generated in a few seconds and in some cases stable for several hours), nonhazardous reagents, and simple procedures. The most promising clinical applications are in immunoassay, protein blotting, and DNA probe assays. Chemiluminescent molecules exploited as labels include luminol, isoluminol, acridinium esters, thioesters and sulfonamides, and phenanthridinium esters. Separation and nonseparation assays have been devised, based on isoluminol and acridinium ester labels. The combination of the amplification properties of an enzyme and a CL or BL detection reaction provides a highly sensitive analytical system. Since 1983, CL and BL methods have been developed for many enzyme labels, e.g., alkaline phosphatase, glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase, horseradish peroxidase, Renilla luciferase, and xanthine oxidase. Currently, the most successful enzyme assays are the enhanced CL method for a peroxidase label involving a mixture of luminol, hydrogen peroxide, and an enhancer (e.g., p-iodophenol) and the direct CL method for alkaline phosphatase, with an adamantyl 1,2-dioxetane phenyl phosphate as substrate. Both systems are very sensitive (the detection limit for alkaline phosphatase when using the dioxetane reagent is 0.001 amol) and produce long-lived light emission (greater than 30 min), which is ideal for membrane applications in which light emission is detected with photographic film or a charge-coupled device camera.

Resumo: A saliva é coletada através de métodos simples e não invasivos, além de ser facilmente armazenada. A coleta não-traumática é atrativa especialmente para crianças e quando repetidas coletas são requeridas. A desvantagem da saliva como uma ferramenta de diagnóstico é a variabilidade, que ocorre em decorrência dos fatores fisiológicos e do modo de coleta. Numa primeira etapa o trabalho teve por objetivo estudar as atividades das enzimas fosfatase alcalina (FAlc), fosfatase ácida total (FAT) e fosfatase ácida resistente ao tartarato (TRAP) na saliva total não estimulada de crianças, investigando as influências de fatores como sexo, faixa etária e horário de coleta, bem como a correlação das enzimas com a taxa de fluxo salivar. Nesta etapa, 120 crianças saudáveis de ambos os sexos, nas faixas etárias de 1-5 e 6-12 anos de idade tiveram as amostras de saliva coletada entre 8:00-10:00 horas ou entre 14:00-16:00 horas. A segunda parte do trabalho teve por objetivo avaliar a correlação das atividades enzimáticas da FAT, TRAP, proteína tirosina fosfatase de baixa massa molecular relativa (PTP-BMr) e FAlc na saliva e no soro de crianças, além de analisar a influência do sexo e da faixa etária na atividade das enzimas, no soro e na saliva total. Para tanto 32 crianças de ambos os sexos, nas faixas etárias de 1-5 anos e 6-12 anos de idade tiveram as amostras de saliva e sangue coletadas entre 8:00-10:00 horas. Os resultados da primeira etapa sugerem que as atividades da FAT, TRAP e FAlc são influenciadas, de formas distintas, pelos fatores sexo, faixa etária e horário de coleta e que não existe correlação entre as atividades das enzimas e a taxa de fluxo salivar.
Abstract: Saliva can be collected by simple, non-invasive methods and is easily stored. The non-traumatic collection is specially appealing for children and when repeated collections are required. The main disadvantage of the saliva as a diagnosis tool is the variability that happens due to the physiologic factors and dependence on mode of the collection. In a first stage the work had for objective to study the activities of the enzymes alkaline phosphatase (ALP), total acid phosphatase (TAP) and tartrate-resistant acid phosphatase (TRAP) in the whole unstimulated saliva of children, investigating the influences of factors as sex, age group and time of collection, as well as the correlation of the enzymes with the salivary flow rate. In this stage, 120 healthy children of both sexes, in the age groups of 1-5 and 6-12 years of age had the saliva samples collected between 8:00-10:00 hours or between 14:00-16:00 hours. In a second stage, the work had for objective to evaluate the correlation of the enzymatic activities of TAP, TRAP, low molecular weight protein tyrosine phosphatase (LMW-PTP) and ALP in the saliva and in the children's serum, besides analyzing the influence of the sex and of the age group in the activity of the enzymes, in the serum and in the whole unstimulated saliva. For so much 32 children of both sexes, in the 1-5 year-old age groups and 6-12 years of age had the saliva samples and blood collected between 8:00-10:00 hours. The results of the first stage suggest that the activities of TAP, TRAP and ALP are influenced, in different ways, for the factors sex, age group and time of collection and that correlation doesn't exist between the activities of the enzymes and the salivary flow rate.

Resumo: O osso alveolar, como os demais ossos, é continuamente remodelado por processo que equilibra reabsorção óssea por osteoclastos seguido pela deposição óssea por osteoblastos. A aplicação de forças ortodônticas gera reações locais nos tecidos relacionados com a dentição e oclusão bem como em fatores sistêmicos relacionados com o metabolismo ósseo, como a concentração de cálcio, fósforo e fosfatase alcalina. O nosso objetivo foi identificar, através de marcadores fluorescentes, a deposição de cálcio no ligamento periodontal e analisar a concentração plasmática de cálcio, fósforo e fosfatase alcalina antes e após a movimentação dentária experimental. A movimentação foi realizada com aparelhos instalados no primeiro molar superior em ratos machos (Wistar/250g). Os animais receberam três injeções de marcadores ósseos fluorescentes, na seguinte ordem: calceína, alizarina e oxitetraciclina com intervalo de sete dias entre as injeções para análise de 17 (G1), 28 (G2) ou 35 (G3) dias após instalação do aparelho. Sete dias após a última injeção, o sangue foi coletado e centrifugado para a realização posterior das análises bioquímicas. As maxilas foram retiradas, limpas e submetidas aos procedimentos específicos para o preparo das lâminas e leitura posterior em microscópio de epifluorescência. Foi coletado sangue de oito animais que não receberam intervenção ortodôntica, para controle das concentrações plasmáticas. A análise qualitativa evidenciou diferença entre o lado controle e o submetido à movimentação dentária, entretanto, a análise quantitativa não constatou diferença estatisticamente significante. As leituras espectrofotométricas nas dosagens dos plasmas destes animais mostraram concentração de cálcio sem diferença estatística entre os grupos.Abstract: The alveolar bone, as the other bones, continuously is remodelled by process that balances bone resorption by osteoclasts followed by the bone deposition for osteoblasts. The application of orthodontic forces generates local reactions in tissues related to the teeth and occlusion as well as systemic factors related with the bone metabolism, as the concentration of calcium, phosphorus and alkaline phosphatase. Our objective was to identify, through fluorescent markers, the calcium deposition in the periodontal ligament and to analyze the plasma concentration of calcium, phosphorus and alkaline phosphatase before and after the experimental tooth movement. The movement was performed with apparatus installed on the upper first the molar superior in male rats (Wistar/250g). These animals received three injections of bone fluorescent markers, in the following order: calcein, alizarin and oxytetracycline with interval of seven days between the injections for analysis of 17 (G1), 28 (G2) or 35 (G3) days after installation of the unit. Seven days after the last injection, the blood was collected and centrifuged to the achievement of subsequent biochemical analyses. The jaws had been removed, cleaned and submitted to the specific procedures for the preparation of the slides and posterior reading in the epifluorescence microscopy. Blood of eight animals that had not received intervention orthodontic, for control of the plasmatic concentrations was collected. The qualitative analysis evidenced difference between the side control and the submitted to the tooth movement, however, the quantitative analysis did not evidence significant difference statistical. The spectrophotometric readings in the dosages of plasmas of these animals had shown to calcium concentration without difference statistics between the groups. However, the analysis of the phosphorus evidenced co-relation between the plasmatic concentration and the time of tooth movement.

Resumo: O tratamento cirúrgico da fissura congênita do processo alveolar superior compreende o enxerto ósseo, um procedimento bem aceito e de grande importância na restauração da forma e da função perdidas. Associado ao enxerto ósseo tem-se utilizado um produto atóxico, não imunoreativo e de fácil obtenção, denominado plasma rico em plaquetas (PRP). Neste estudo foi analisado o comportamento dos marcadores fosfatase alcalina, fosfatase alcalina isoforma óssea, osteocalcina e fosfatase ácida tartarato resistente em 50 pacientes, com idade entre 10 e 20 anos e que foram submetidos à cirurgia de enxerto ósseo autógeno alveolar pelo serviço de Cirurgia Buco-maxilofacial do Hospital de Reabilitação de Anomalias Craniofaciais da Universidade de São Paulo. O objetivo foi acompanhar de forma sistêmica e em curto período a formação ou reabsorção óssea após a realização do enxerto ósseo alveolar, bem como avaliar a eficácia do uso do plasma rico em plaquetas no processo de formação óssea. O estudo concluiu que as propriedades restauradoras do PRP não puderam ser demonstradas por nenhum dos marcadores bioquímicos do metabolismo ósseo nos primeiros 70 dias do ato cirúrgico; a análise temporal dos marcadores de formação óssea testados demonstrou uma tendência de queda com 35 dias e retorno próximo aos níveis basais com 70 dias do ato cirúrgico nos dois grupos estudados; não houve uma correlação significativa dos marcadores com o número de plaquetas e nem com a área da fissura e o resultado do exame ao raio X foi considerado inconclusivo para a presença ou não de trabeculado ósseo organizado em fase inicial de formação.
Abstract: The surgical treatment of the congenital cleft of the upper alveolar process understands the bone graft, a well accepted procedure of great importance in the restoration of the lost form and function. Together with the bone graft it is being used a non-toxic, non imunoreactive and easily obtained product, denominated platelet-rich plasma (PRP). In this study it was analysed the behavior of the alkaline phosphatase, bone alkaline phosphatase, osteocalcin and tartrate-resistant acid phosphatase markers in 50 patients, with age between 10 and 20 years and that were undergone to alveolar autogenous bone graft performed by the Bucomaxillofacial Service of the "Hospital for Rehabilitation of Craniofacial Anomalies, University of São Paulo". The aim was follow in a sistemic and early way the bone formation or reabsorption after the accomplishment of the alveolar bone graft, as well as to evaluate the effectiveness of the use of the platelet-rich plasma in the process of bone formation. The study concluded that the restorative properties of the PRP could not be demonstrated by of the biochemistry markers of the bone metabolism in the first 70 days of the surgery; the temporal analisys of the bone formation markers tested demonstrated a fall tendency in 35 days with return near to basal levels in 70 days in the two studied groups; there was not a significant correlation between markers and the number of platelets and neither with the area of the cleft and the result of the x-ray examination was not considered conclusive for the presence or not of organized bone trabeculae in the initial phase of formation.

Resumo: Em hematologia, a principal aplicação da determinação da atividade da fosfatase alcalina (FA) neutrofílica é no auxílio ao diagnóstico diferencial entre leucemia mielóide crônica (LMC) e reações leucemóides neutrofílicas (RL) decorrentes de doenças mieloproliferativas, como a mielofibrose, policitemia vera ou de inflamações/ infecções. Tradicionalmente esta determinação é realizada por um ensaio citoquímico subjetivo, no qual se atribui uma pontuação (SCORE) para o nível de FA. Neste trabalho apresentamos um método quimiluminescente, objetivo, quantitativo, sensível e barato para a determinação de FA neutrofílica baseado no reagente comercial Immulite®. Leucócitos íntegros obtidos de amostras de sangue periférico de trinta e dois indivíduos saudáveis, nove portadores de LMC e nove portadores de RL foram submetidos ao protocolo otimizado. Através da determinação da emissão de luz por quatro concentrações de neutrófilos, foi possível detectar a atividade de FA por célula (inclinação - SLOPE - da curva obtida por regressão linear). Uma alta correlação foi obtida quando o método quimiluminescente (SLOPE), aqui desenvolvido, foi comparado ao citoquímico (SCORE). Obtivemos uma variação do SLOPE entre 0,61-8,49 (10-5 mV.s/célula) para amostras do grupo controle (indivíduos saudáveis), sendo que o valor da mediana foi 2,04 (10-5 mV.s/célula). Estes resultados foram estatisticamente diferentes das amostras do grupo LMC (variação: 0,07 - 1,75; mediana: 0,79) e do grupo RL (variação: 3,84 - 47,24; mediana: 9,58) (p<0,05).
Abstract: In haematology the main application of the leukocyte alkaline phosphatase (LAP) assay is in distinguishing chronic myeloid leukaemia (CML) from other myeloproliferative diseases, particularly from myelofibrosis, polycythaemia or other inflammatory/infectious diseases (LR). Traditionally, this is performed by subjective cytochemical assays where a SCORE is attributed to the level of LAP. Here we present a non-subjective, quantitative, sensitive and inexpensive chemiluminescent technique for LAP determination, based on the commercial reagent Immulite®. Intact leukocytes obtained from thirty-two healthy subjects, nine CML and nine LR patients were submitted to the optimized protocol. By measuring the light emission elicited by four concentrations of neutrophils, it was possible to estimate the activity of LAP per cell (the SLOPE of the curve obtained by linear regression). A high linear correlation was found between the chemiluminescent result (SLOPE) and the cytochemical SCORE. The SLOPE for healthy individuals ranged between 0.61 and 8.49 (10-5 mV.s/cell), with a median of 2.04 (10-5 mV.s/cell). These results were statistically different from CML patients (range 0.07 - 1.75, median 0.79) and LR patients (range 3.84 - 47.24, median 9.58) (p<0.05).

Full textAbstract:
Introduction: Abnormal fetal growth remains a major problem in pregnancies complicated by diabetes and is associated with increased maternal and offspring mortality and morbidity. Insulin-like growth factors (IGFs) stimulate fetal growth while their effects are inhibited by binding proteins (IGFBPs). IGFBP-1 is a significant IGFBP in maternal and fetal circulation and the only binding protein acutely affected by glucoregulatory hormones; as such, IGFBP-1 is particularly important in pregnancy with diabetes. In plasma of healthy human adults, the fully phosphorylated (pIGFBP-1) isoform is predominant. During pregnancy the phosphorylation status of IGFBP-1 changes; in addition to pIGFBP-1, non-phosphorylated (np) IGFBP-1 and 3 lesser phosphorylated (lp) IGFBP-1 variants with lower affinity for IGF-I are detected in the maternal circulation. The change in the phosphorylation status of IGFBP-1 in pregnancy may provide a physiological mechanism for the increased IGF-I bioavailability at the maternal/fetal interface required for placental and fetal growth.Hypothesis: IGFBP-1 de-phosphorylation occurs at the maternal/fetal interface and this process is catalyzed by placental alkaline phosphatase (PLAP). Fetal overgrowth (macrosomia) in pregnancy with diabetes may be a consequence of elevated IGF-I action at the placenta secondary to increased PLAP activity.Methods and Results: In vitro: Explants of human term placentas from normal pregnancies (n=5), or their conditioned media (CM), were incubated with pIGFBP-1 in the presence or absence of an anti-PLAP function blocking antibody. Addition of pIGFBP-1 to explants resulted in its binding to the tissue and de-phosphorylation, with npIGFBP-1 isoforms appearing in the medium. pIGFBP-1 was not de-phosphorylated when cultures were carried out in the presence of anti-PLAP antibody. In solution phase assays, PLAP failed to de-phosphorylate pIGFBP-1. Thus, placenta de-phosphorylates IGFBP-1 as a result of PLAP activity, and this requires its binding to the tissue.To investigate factors which may affect the activity of PLAP, placental explants (n=3 for each series of experiments) were incubated with pIGFBP-1 in the presence of insulin, IGF-I/-II or under hyperglycemic or hypoxic conditions. Following incubation, the phosphorylation status of IGFBP-1 present in placental-CM was assessed by native electrophoresis and western blot. PLAP-mediated IGFBP-1 de-phosphorylation was not affected in vitro by hyperglycemia, hypoxia, insulin or IGF-I/-II. In vivo: 30 patients with any type of diabetes in pregnancy and 20 controls were recruited. Maternal/cord blood was collected at term and analysed for IGF-I/-II, total IGFBP-1 and the phosphorylation status of IGFBP-1. Placentas were analysed for PLAP expression and activity. The maternal blood levels of both IGFs and total IGFBP-1 were similar in the diabetes and control groups, while cord IGF-II was elevated in diabetes. Unexpectedly, the p/npIGFBP-1 ratio in maternal serum was elevated in patients with diabetes, which may be a result of decreased IGFBP-1 de-phosphorylation. In controls, maternal p/npIGFBP-1 ratio correlated with infant weight, whilst this correlation was not demonstrated in women with diabetes. Placental PLAP expression/ex-vivo activity and total IGFBP-1 levels in maternal serum were unaltered in diabetes and did not relate to fetal growth in either diabetes or control groups. Conclusions: The hypothesis that activated PLAP and therefore enhanced IGFBP-1 de-phosphorylation may increase the effect of IGF-I on placental cell turnover and accelerate fetal growth in diabetes was not supported by the results of this study. Further work is required to reveal mechanisms by which the maternal/placental/fetal IGF-IGFBP-PLAP pathways modulate fetal growth in normal and compromised pregnancy.

Full textAbstract:
Calcium pyrophosphate (CPP) dihydrate crystals form extracellularly. Their formation requires sufficient extracellular inorganic pyrophosphate (ePPi), calcium, and pro-nucleating factors. As inorganic pyrophosphate (PPi) cannot cross cell membranes passively due to its large size, ePPi results either from hydrolysis of extracellular ATP by the enzyme ectonucleotide pyrophosphatase/phosphodiesterase 1 (also known as plasma cell membrane glycoprotein 1) or from the transcellular transport of PPi by ANKH. ePPi is hydrolyzed to phosphate (Pi) by tissue non-specific alkaline phosphatase. The level of extracellular PPi and Pi is tightly regulated by several interlinked feedback mechanisms and growth factors. The relative concentration of Pi and PPi determines whether CPP or hydroxyapatite crystal is formed, with low Pi/PPi ratio resulting in CPP crystal formation, while a high Pi/PPi ratio promotes basic calcium phosphate crystal formation. CPP crystals are deposited in the cartilage matrix (preferentially in the middle layer) or in areas of chondroid metaplasia. Hypertrophic chondrocytes and specific cartilage matrix changes (e.g. high levels of dermatan sulfate and S-100 protein) are related to CPP crystal deposition and growth. CPP crystals cause inflammation by engaging with the NALP3 inflammasome, and with other components of the innate immune system, and is marked with a prolonged neutrophilic inflitrate. The pathogenesis of resolution of CPP crystal-induced inflammation is not well understood.

Haem molecules are degraded in macrophages to biliverdin and then to bilirubin, which is selectively removed by hepatocytes from sinusoidal blood and conjugated, chiefly with two glucuronic acid moieties. Conjugated bilirubin is excreted into the bile, but in many liver diseases it refluxes back into blood from which some is filtered into and darkens the urine (choluria). In the distal intestine, conjugated bilirubin is deconjugated and reduced to a series of uro- and stercobilinogens that give the normal colour to faeces. Jaundice is the clinical sign of hyperbilirubinaemia and usually indicates disease of the liver or biliary tree. Dark urine and pale stools indicate cholestasis. Stigmata of chronic liver disease do not define the cause of jaundice. Unconjugated hyperbilirubinaemia—presents with raised serum bilirubin levels and normal other liver-related blood tests. Causes include haemolysis and benign inherited unconjugated hyperbilirubinaemia (i.e. Gilbert’s syndrome). Conjugated hyperbilirubinaemia—routine liver-related blood tests cannot alone differentiate between intra- and extrahepatic causes of jaundice although high levels of transferases suggests hepatitis (e.g. viral, autoimmune) or hepatic necrosis (e.g. paracetamol). Alcohol and drug histories are needed in those with both elevated alkaline phosphatase and transferases. Extrahepatic cholestasis should be sought by abdominal ultrasonography to detect a dilated intra- and/or extrahepatic biliary tree (and often also to reveal its cause, e.g. gallstones, tumour). Further investigation depends on the clinical context: (1) likely large bile duct disease—endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography, magnetic resonance cholangiography, and endoscopic ultrasonography; (2) likely intrahepatic cholestasis—autoantibodies, immunoglobulins, and liver biopsy.

Full textAbstract:
This study is carried out to make the pyroprocessing hold a competitive advantage from the viewpoint of environmental load reduction and economical improvement. As one of the measures to reduce the volume of the high-level radioactive waste (HLW), the phosphate conversion method is applied for removal of fission products (FP) from the melt, referring to the spent electrolyte in this paper. Among the removing target chlorides in the spent electrolyte i.e., alkali metals, alkaline earth metals and rare earth elements, only the rare earth elements and lithium form the precipitates as insoluble phosphates by reaction with Li3PO4. The sand filtration method was applied to separate FP precipitates from the spent electrolyte. The iron phosphate glass (IPG) powder, which is a compatible material for the immobilization of FP, was used as a filter medium. After filtration experiment, it was proven that insoluble FP could almost be completely removed from the spent electrolyte. Subsequently, we attempted to separate the dissolved FP from the spent electrolyte. The IPG was being used once again but this time as a sorbent instead. This is possible because the IPG has some unique characteristics, e.g., changing the valence of iron, which is one of its network modifiers due to its manufacturing temperature. Therefore, it would be likely to sorb some FP when the chemical condition of IPG is unstable. We produced three kinds of IPG under different manufacturing temperature and confirmed that those glasses could sorb FP as anticipated. According to the experimental result, its sorption efficiency of metal cations was attained at around 20–40%.

Full textAbstract:
Mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) are an attractive cell type for cartilage tissue engineering in that they can undergo chondrogenesis in a variety of 3D contexts [1]. Focused efforts in MSC-based cartilage tissue engineering have recently culminated in the formation of biologic materials possessing biochemical and functional mechanical properties that match that of the native tissue [2]. These approaches generally involve the continuous or intermittent application of pro-chondrogenic growth factors during in vitro culture. For example, in one recent study, we showed robust construct maturation in MSC-seeded hyaluronic acid (HA) hydrogels transiently exposed to high levels of TGF-β3 [3]. Despite the promise of this approach, MSCs are a multipotent cell type and retain a predilection towards hypertrophic phenotypic conversion (i.e., bone formation) when removed from a pro-chondrogenic environment (e.g., in vivo implantation). Indeed, even in a chondrogenic environment, many MSC-based cultures express pre-hypertrophic markers, including type X collagen, MMP13, and alkaline phosphatase [4]. To address this issue, recent studies have investigated co-culture of human articular chondrocytes and MSCs in both pellet and hydrogel environments. Chondrocytes appear to enhance the initial efficiency of MSC chondrogenic conversion, as well as limit hypertrophic changes in some instances (potentially via secretion of PTHrP and/or other factors) [5–7]. While these findings are intriguing, articular cartilage has a unique depth-dependent morphology including zonal differences in chondrocyte identity. Ng et al. showed that zonal chondrocytes seeded in a bi-layered agarose hydrogel construct can recreate depth-dependent cellular and mechanical heterogeneity, suggesting that these identities are retained with transfer to 3D culture systems [8]. Further, Cheng et al. showed that differences in matrix accumulation and hypertrophy in zonal chondrocytes was controlled by bone morphogenic protein [9]. To determine whether differences in zonal chondrocyte identity influences MSC fate decisions, we evaluated functional properties and phenotypic stability in photocrosslinked hyaluronic acid (HA) hydrogels using distinct, zonal chondrocyte cell fractions co-cultured with bone marrow derived MSCs.
