Abstract

Tetramethylrosamine and its thio- and seleno- analogues (TMR-O, TMR-S, and TMR-Se, respectively) were examined for their ability to be transported by Pgp into chemo-resistant CR1R12 cells. Verapamil (7 x 10(-6)M) enhanced the uptake of TMR-O and TMR-S into CR1R12 cells compared to those cultures not previously exposed to verapamil. The uptake of TMR-O and TMR-S in CR1R12 cells in the presence of 7 x 10(-6)M verapamil was equivalent to its uptake in the chemo-sensitive parent cell line AUXB1 in the absence or presence of verapamil. None of the TMR analogues were effective alone as photosensitizers of CR1R12 cells. However, when either TMR-S or TMR-Se was added to CR1R12 cells after 7 x 10(-6)M verapamil exposure for 2h, irradiation of cultures with 5.0J cm(-2) of 350-750 nm light caused significant phototoxicity. TMR-O showed no significant phototoxicity in the presence of verapamil. Chemo-sensitive AUXB1 cells are equally susceptible to phototoxicity using TMR-Se with or without previous exposure to verapamil. The Pgp modulators verapamil and CsA increased the uptake of CAM into CR1R12. Exposure of CR1R12 cells to TMR-S or TMR-Se for 2h in the dark resulted in no significant change in the intracellular accumulation of CAM. Howe...Continue Reading

COVID-19

Coronaviruses encompass a large family of viruses that cause the common cold as well as more serious diseases, such as the ongoing outbreak of coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19; formally known as 2019-nCoV). Coronaviruses can spread from animals to humans; symptoms include fever, cough, shortness of breath, and breathing difficulties; in more severe cases, infection can lead to death. This feed covers recent research on COVID-19.

Blastomycosis

Blastomycosis fungal infections spread through inhaling Blastomyces dermatitidis spores. Discover the latest research on blastomycosis fungal infections here.

Nuclear Pore Complex in ALS/FTD

Alterations in nucleocytoplasmic transport, controlled by the nuclear pore complex, may be involved in the pathomechanism underlying multiple neurodegenerative diseases including Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis and Frontotemporal Dementia. Here is the latest research on the nuclear pore complex in ALS and FTD.

Applications of Molecular Barcoding

The concept of molecular barcoding is that each original DNA or RNA molecule is attached to a unique sequence barcode. Sequence reads having different barcodes represent different original molecules, while sequence reads having the same barcode are results of PCR duplication from one original molecule. Discover the latest research on molecular barcoding here.

Chronic Fatigue Syndrome

Chronic fatigue syndrome is a disease characterized by unexplained disabling fatigue; the pathology of which is incompletely understood. Discover the latest research on chronic fatigue syndrome here.

Evolution of Pluripotency

Pluripotency refers to the ability of a cell to develop into three primary germ cell layers of the embryo. This feed focuses on the mechanisms that underlie the evolution of pluripotency. Here is the latest research.

Position Effect Variegation

Position Effect Variagation occurs when a gene is inactivated due to its positioning near heterochromatic regions within a chromosome. Discover the latest research on Position Effect Variagation here.

STING Receptor Agonists

Stimulator of IFN genes (STING) are a group of transmembrane proteins that are involved in the induction of type I interferon that is important in the innate immune response. The stimulation of STING has been an active area of research in the treatment of cancer and infectious diseases. Here is the latest research on STING receptor agonists.

Microbicide

Microbicides are products that can be applied to vaginal or rectal mucosal surfaces with the goal of preventing, or at least significantly reducing, the transmission of sexually transmitted infections. Here is the latest research on microbicides.
