Abstract

The present study was performed to further elucidate the mechanism of cadmium (Cd)-induced cytotoxicity in rat hepatocytes focusing on the effects of Cd-induced acidification on cellular production of H2O2 and the integrity of the plasma membrane. Exposure of cells of Cd levels < 50 microM stimulated cellular production of H2O2 in a dose-dependent manner. In cells exposed to 50 microM Cd, generation of the toxic oxygen increased from 5 min after exposure, and reached a plateau at 15 min. The acidic medium at pH 6.5, a value which is corresponding to the cellular pH at maximal acidification induced by Cd, also enhanced production of the active oxygen at almost the same level as 25 microM Cd. These treatments affected permeability barrier of plasma membranes as assessed by nuclear staining with propidium iodide (PI, MW 668) and release of intracellular lactic dehydrogenase (LDH) into surrounding medium. Cd at 50 microM caused nuclear staining by the fluorescent probe, beginning from 15 min at exposure, reaching a peak at 60 min. LDH leakage likewise started from 60 min of Cd exposure onward. The acidic partially prevented by L-ascorbic acid pretreatment. H2O2-induced nuclear staining increased with the increasing pH values from 6...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.
