A rapid and accurate identification of necrotic myocardium is of great importance for diagnosis, risk stratification, clinical decision-making, and prognosis evaluation of myocardial infarction. Here, we explored technetium-99m labeled rhein derivatives for rapid imaging of the necrotic myocardium.
Necrosis-avid agents possess exploitable theragnostic utilities including evaluation of tissue viability, monitoring of therapeutic efficacy as well as diagnosis and treatment of necrosis-related disorders. Rhein (4,5-dihydroxyl-2-carboxylic-9,10-dihydrodiketoanthracene), a naturally occurring
Early evaluation of tumor response to thermal ablation therapy can help identify untreated tumor cells and then perform repeated treatment as soon as possible. The purpose of this work was to explore the potential of rhein-based necrosis-avid contrast agents (NACAs) for early This study aimed to synthesize a necrosis-avid agent using rhein as a precursor and labeled with gallium-68 (Ga-68) for positron emission tomography/computed tomography (PET/CT) imaging, to evaluate response to anticancer treatment in a mouse OBJECTIVE
Noninvasive imaging of treatment-induced necrosis is important to distinguish early responders from patients resistant to the treatment plan, enabling the tailored-made therapeutic intervention. The purpose of this study was to explore the feasibility of [99mTc]EDDA-HYNIC-2C-rhein for
Early and accurate assessment of therapeutic response to anticancer therapy plays an important role in determining treatment planning and patient management in clinic. Magnetic rseonance imaging (MRI) of necrosis that occurs after cancer therapies provides chances for that. Here, we reported three
Objectives. The Chinese herbal medicine Da-Cheng-Qi decoction can regulate a necrosis-apoptosis switch in injured pancreatic acinar cells. This study investigated the effects of rhein, a component of this medicine, on a necrosis-apoptosis switch in pancreatic rat AR42J cells. Methods.
OBJECTIVE
To evaluate the in vitro effects of diacerhein, a new drug for the treatment of osteoarthritis (OA), and its active metabolite, rhein, on interleukin 1beta (IL-1beta) and tumor necrosis factor-alpha (TNF-alpha) synthesis and expression in human OA synovial membrane, and on the IL-1beta and
Because steroids and cyclooxygenase inhibitors may cause serious side effects, the IκB kinase (IKK) β/nuclear factor-κB (NF-κB) system has become an intriguing candidate anti-inflammatory target. Rhein, the active metabolite of diacerein, possesses anti-inflammatory ability with a gastrointestinal
Hyperuricemia has been considered to be a key risk factor for kidney disease. The formation of uric acid crystals in the kidney further stimulates an intensive inflammatory response. Rhein possesses various pharmacological activities, including anti-inflammatory, antioxidative, antitumor, purgative
Sepsis is one of the leading causes of mortality in severe systemic inflammatory syndrome. The endotoxin-induced inflammatory response has been linked to the development of sepsis. Rhein is a lipophilic anthraquinone isolated from Rheum rhabarbarum (rhubarb), which has a protective effect on
The protective effect of rhein lysinate (RHL) on Alzheimer's disease (AD) was explored in senescence-accelerated mouse prone-8 (SAMP8) mice. SAMP8 mice without treatment were used as the AD-positive control, and senescence-accelerated-resistant mice were used as the AD-negative control. In this
BACKGROUND
Vascular smooth-muscle cell proliferation plays an important role in atherosclerosis and restenosis. Rhein is an active component extracted from rhubarb. In this study, rhein was found to exert potent inhibitory effects against tumor necrosis factor (TNF)-alpha-induced human aortic
The purpose of the present study was to investigate the intracellular IL-1beta production and beta1 integrins (alpha4/beta1 and alpha5/beta1) expression on chondrocytes. Chondroytes monolayer (human chondrosarcoma cell line HEM-C55) were incubated for 12, 24 and 48 hours in the presence of Tumor
Assessment of myocardial viability is deemed necessary to aid in clinical decision making whether to recommend revascularization therapy for patients with myocardial infarction (MI). Dianthraquinones such as hypericin (Hyp) selectively accumulate in necrotic myocardium, but were unsuitable for early
