Increasing hypoxia tolerance in mammalian cells is potentially of major importance, but it has not been feasible thus far. The disaccharide trehalose, which accumulates dramatically during heat shock, enhances thermotolerance and reduces aggregation of denatured proteins. Previous studies from our
Glycosaminoglycans (GAGs) are major components of cartilage extracellular matrix (ECM), which play an important role in tissue homeostasis not only by providing mechanical load resistance, but also as signaling mediators of key cellular processes such as adhesion, migration, proliferation and
Trehalose is a nonreducing disaccharide in which the two glucose units are linked in an alpha,alpha-1,1-glycosidic linkage. The best known and most widely distributed pathway of trehalose synthesis involves the transfer of glucose from UDP-glucose to glucose 6-phosphate to form trehalose-6-phosphate
OBJECTIVE
The purpose of the present study was to characterize the role of Na+, pH and cellular swelling in the pathogenesis of hypoxic injury to rat livers.
RESULTS
When livers were perfused with hypoxic Krebs-Henseleit bicarbonate buffer (KHB) containing 143 mM Na+, release of LDH began after 30
The transport of glucose, other monosaccharides and disaccharides in the rat small intestine has been studied under the condition of a predominance of serosal-to-mucosal (SM) flows over mucosal-to-serosal (MS) ones. A dependence has been found of the efflux of glucose into the serosal solution on
Trehalose, a disaccharide of glucose, is a naturally occurring nontoxic and nonreducing bioactive sugar. Trehalose is synthetized by many organisms when cells are exposed to stressful conditions, including dehydration, heat, oxidation, hypoxia or even anoxia. Although trehalose is not synthesized by
Renal ischemia-reperfusion injury (IRI) is one of the most common acute kidney injuries, there is still a lack of effective treatment in the clinical setting. Trehalose (Tre), a naturally disaccharide, has been demonstrated to protect against oxidative stress, inflammation, and apoptosis. However,
Background: Tumor-associated macrophages (TAMs) play key roles in the development of many malignant solid tumors including breast cancer. They are educated in the tumor microenvironment (TME) to promote tumor growth, metastasis, and
Prostate cancer (PC) is one of the leading causes of death in males. Available treatments often lead to the appearance of chemoresistant foci and metastases, with mechanisms still partially unknown. Within tumour mass, autophagy may promote cell survival by enhancing cancer cells tolerability to
Trehalose is a disaccharide of glucose found in diverse organisms and is suggested to act as a stress protectant against heat, cold, desiccation, anoxia, and oxidation. Here, we demonstrate that treatment of Caenorhabditis elegans with trehalose starting from the young-adult stage extended the mean
