succinate dehydrogenase/necrosis

We have studied TNF-induced changes in mitochondrial enzymes. One enzyme, succinate dehydrogenase (SDH), is specifically activated in TNF sensitive cells including U937 (human monocytic), WEHI-164 (murine fibrosarcoma), and ME-180 (human cervical carcinoma). SDH is activated by TNF concentrations

Impaired energy metabolism may play an important role in neuronal cell death after brain ischemia and in late-onset neurodegenerative diseases. Both excitotoxic necrosis and apoptosis have been implicated in cell death induced by metabolic impairment. However, the factors that determine whether

Numerous ethnomedicinal uses have been attributed to different parts of Annona senegalensis (ASE), including its uses as food and food additives. The present study investigated toxicological and antioxidant effects of 28 days administration of ethanol extracts of ASE stem bark to Wistar

Within a few minutes after addition to L929 cells, tumour necrosis factor-alpha (TNF alpha) induced an increase in lucigenin-enhanced chemiluminescence that could be inhibited by superoxide dismutase. The generation of superoxide anion (O2.-) was sensitive to treatment with rotenone, antimycin A and

To investigate the effects of basic fibroblast growth factor (bFGF) on necrosis rate, succinate dehydrogenase level and oxygen consumption of the skin flap, 18 Wistar rats were divided into 2 groups. Caudally based skin flap was raised on the back of each rat. Nine micrograms bFGF or normal saline

Diethylene glycol (DEG) is a solvent used in consumer products allowing the increased risk for consumer exposure. DEG metabolism produces two primary metabolites, 2-hydroxyethoxyacetic acid (2-HEAA) and diglycolic acid (DGA). DGA has been shown to be the toxic metabolite responsible for the proximal

The inhibitor of mitochondrial enzyme succinate dehydrogenase, 3-nitropropionic acid (3-NPA), induces cellular energy deficit followed by oxidative stress, secondary excitotoxicity and neuronal degeneration. The fast activation of Jun and Fos proteins and other proteins encoding inducible

OBJECTIVE To describe the multidetector CT (MDCT) features and metastatic pattern of succinate dehydrogenase (SDH)-deficient gastrointestinal stromal tumours (GISTs). METHODS In this institutional review board-approved, Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act-compliant study, we

BACKGROUND Our previous studies have shown that both apoptosis and necrosis are involved in hair cell (HC) pathogenesis in aging cochleae. To better understand the biological mechanisms responsible for the regulation of HC death, we examined the activity of succinate dehydrogenase (SDH), a

An attempt has been made to quantify myocardial lesions produced in the rat by isoprenaline for use as a model to assess possible incremental effects of environmental and dietary factors. This was initially made difficult by variation in the cardiotoxicity of different samples of isoprenaline.

According to the WHO new renal tumor classification (2016), the clinical and pathologic characteristics, immunophenotype and molecular genetic characteristics of 2 cases of succinate dehydrogenase (SDH)-deficient renal cell carcinoma were retrospectively analyzed, and the relevant literature was

The biochemical integrity of hepatocellular mitochondria was investigated in rats treated with small doses of human recombinant tumor necrosis factor-alpha (Hur-TNF;50-100 micrograms/kg/d injected intraperitoneally for 5 d) by measuring the activities of three mitochondrial enzymes, glutamate

The drug-resistant leukemic cell lines, CEM/VLB100 and K/DAU600, are more sensitive to tumor necrosis factor alpha (TNFalpha)-mediated cytotoxicity compared with their parental cell lines, CCRF-CEM and K562 cl.6. Drug-resistant leukemic cell lines have more active mitochondrial function, which is

Culture of neuroblastoma cells in a medium of low-thiamine concentration (6 nM) and in the presence of the transport inhibitor amprolium leads to the appearance of overt signs of necrosis; i.e., the chromatin condenses in dark patches, the oxygen consumption decreases, mitochondria are uncoupled,

Oxidative stress can play a key role in myocardial necrosis. The present study was designed to investigate the effect of alpha-mangostin (an antioxidant phytonutrient) on mitochondrial dysfunction and endothelial nitric oxide synthase (eNOS) expression during isoproterenol-induced myocardial
