Decreased Energy Capacity And Increased Autophagic Activity In Optic Nerve Axons With Defective Anterograde Transport

PURPOSE. Autophagy is a critical process, compromised in neurodegenerative disease, by which terminally differentiated cells like neurons manage cytoskeletal and organelle turnover. How autophagy relates to associated neurodegenerative pathologies…

Subcellular localization and antiviral activity of carminic acid/poly r(A-U) combinations.

Carminic acid (CAR) enhances the antiviral activity of poly r(A-U) twelve-fold without increasing interferon induction, inactivating the vesicular stomatitis virus or inducing host cell cytotoxicity. Phase contrast photomicrographs of human foreskin…

Temporal changes in left ventricular function after massive sympathetic nervous system activation.

Intense activation of the sympathetic nervous system (SNS) decreases the contractile state of the rabbit left ventricle (LV). In this study, we determined the time course of LV dysfunction after massive central activation of the SNS in dogs.…

Effect of high transcapillary pressures on capillary ultrastructure and permeability coefficients in dog lung.

To determine the correlation between ultrastructural and physiological changes in blood-gas barrier function in lungs transiently exposed to very high vascular pressures, we increased capillary transmural pressure (Ptm) of 6 canine isolated perfused…

Auditory cortical axons contact commissural cells throughout the guinea pig inferior colliculus.

Projections from auditory cortex (AC) affect how cells in both inferior colliculi (IC) respond to acoustic stimuli. The large projection from the AC to the ipsilateral IC is usually credited with the effects in the ipsilateral IC. The circuitry…

Mild acidic pH inhibition of the major pathway of herpes simplex virus entry into HEp-2 cells.

Penetration of the KOS strain of herpes simplex virus type 1 (HSV-1) and the MS and 333 strains of herpes simplex virus type 2 (HSV-2) into HEp-2 cells at pH 6.3 was at least 100-fold less efficient than at pH 7.4. Penetration of two low passage…

Herpes simplex virus type 1 penetration initiates mobilization of cell surface proteins.

Changes in membrane structure resulting from herpes simplex virus 1 (HSV-1) penetration were detected using fluorescence photobleaching recovery methods. The effect could be blocked by inhibitors of viral and cellular processes involved in virus…

Sole Dependence on Urine Testing Strips and the Ability to Identify Clinically Significant Disease: Challenging the Current Paradigm for Heme Detection in General Clinical Situations.

BACKGROUND: The ability of health care professionals to provide patient care is potentially compromised when predicated on untested, although longstanding, perspectives. One such example is urinalysis testing, which has been currently simplified to…

Redox-dependent coronary metabolic dilation.

We have observed that hydrogen peroxide (H2O2), the dismutated product of superoxide, is a coronary metabolic dilator and couples myocardial oxygen consumption to coronary blood flow. Because the chemical activity of H2O2 favors its role as an…

Pathways from auditory cortex to the cochlear nucleus in guinea pigs.

The inferior colliculus (IC) and superior olivary complex (SOC) are important sources of descending pathways to the cochlear nucleus. The IC and SOC are also targets of direct projections from the auditory cortex but it is not known if cortical axons…

Auditory nerve fiber differences in the normal and neurofilament deficient Japanese quail.

A primary axonal disease affecting the central and peripheral nervous system was discovered in a mutant strain of the Japanese quail, named quiver (Quv). We have previously demonstrated altered auditory evoked potentials in the neurofilament (NF)…

Bcl-2 positively regulates Sox9-dependent chondrocyte gene expression by suppressing the MEK-ERK1/2 signaling pathway.

Bcl-2 is an anti-apoptotic protein that has recently been shown to regulate other cellular functions. We previously reported that Bcl-2 regulates chondrocyte matrix gene expression, independent of its anti-apoptotic function. Here, we further…
