Abstract

In connection with the elucidation of the mechanisms of the acute and chronic haemodynamic stress during cardiac overloading, as well as in investigations on the role of neurotransmitter systems in the genesis of myocardial hypertrophy (MH), we carried out a complex of studies involving modelling of MH induced by treatment of rats with isoprenaline (ISO.) and of rabbits with thyreotom (Tri-iodothyronin +L-Thyroxin). With a view to studying some pathogenetic factors participating in the characteristics of the reproduced pathological states, combinations with oxprenolol, atropine, phentolamine (Phent.) and amino-oxyacetic acid (AOAA), which is a GABA-inhibitor, were also applied. The results of the ECG studies performed are the main object of the present article. Marked MH was found in rats injected for 12 days with Iso. in doses of 2 mg/kg, as well as in rabbits which received thyreotom (accompanied with development of arterial hypertension). Considerable functional and morphological damage (with subendocardial fibrous proliferations) were discovered in rats treated with Iso. +Phent. The combinations of oxprenolol and AOAA manifested a protective effect to rabbits with thyrotoxic disturbances. Evident is also the essential role played by the adrenergic mechanisms in MH pathogenesis.

Immobilization of ligands with precise control of density to electroactive surfaces.

We report a broadly applicable surface chemistry methodology to immobilize ligands, proteins, and cells to an electroactive substrate with precise control of ligand density. This strategy is based on the coupling of soluble aminooxy terminated ligands with an electroactive quinone terminated monolayer. The surface chemistry product oxime is also redox active but at a different potential and therefore allows for real-time monitoring of the immobilization reaction. Only the quinone form of the immobilized redox pair is reactive with soluble aminooxy groups, which allows for the determination of the yield of reaction, the ability to immobilize multiple ligands at controlled densities, and the in-situ modulation of ligand activity. We demonstrate this methodology by using cyclic voltammetry to characterize the kinetics of a model interfacial reaction with aminooxy acetic acid. We also demonstrate the synthetic flexibility and utility of this method for biospecific interactions by installing aminooxy terminated FLAG peptides and characterizing their binding to soluble anti-FLAG with surface plasmon resonance spectroscopy. We further show this methodology is compatible with microarray technology by printing rhodamine-oxyamine in various size spots and characterizing the yield within the spots by cyclic voltammetry. We also show this methodology is compatible with cell culture conditions and fluorescent microscopy technology for cell biological studies. Arraying RGD-oxyamine peptides on these substrates allows for bio-specific adhesion of Swiss 3T3 Fibroblasts.

Effect of aminooxyacetic acid on extracellular level of D-serine in rat striatum: an in vivo microdialysis study.

To elucidate the effect of an inhibitor of pyridoxal phosphate-dependent enzymes, aminooxyacetic acid, on the activity of serine racemase in vivo, we have investigated the effect of aminooxyacetic acid on the extracellular concentration of D-serine in the rat striatum using an in vivo microdialysis technique. The intrastriatal perfusion of aminooxyacetic acid caused a significant decline in the extracellular concentration of D-serine. These data, together with the fact that serine racemase is a pyridoxal phosphate-dependent enzyme, suggest that the aminooxyacetic acid-induced reduction of the extracellular D-serine may be at least in part due to the drug's ability to inhibit serine racemase.

Oligosaccharide microarrays fabricated on aminooxyacetyl functionalized glass surface for characterization of carbohydrate-protein interaction.

Carbohydrate-protein interactions play important biological roles in biological processes. But there is a lack of high-throughput methods to elucidate recognition events between carbohydrates and proteins. This paper reported a convenient and efficient method for preparing oligosaccharide microarrays, wherein the underivatized oligosaccharide probes were efficiently immobilized on aminooxyacetyl functionalized glass surface by formation of oxime bonding with the carbonyl group at the reducing end of the suitable carbohydrates via irreversible condensation. Prototypes of carbohydrate microarrays containing 10 oligosaccharides were fabricated on aminooxyacetyl functionalized glass by robotic arrayer. Utilization of the prepared carbohydrate microarrays for the characterization of carbohydrate-protein interaction reveals that carbohydrates with different structural features selectively bound to the corresponding lectins with relative binding affinities that correlated with those obtained from solution-based assays. The limit of detection (LOD) for lectin ConA on the fabricated carbohydrate microarrays was determined to be approximately 0.008 microg/mL. Inhibition experiment with soluble carbohydrates also demonstrated that the binding affinities of lectins to different carbohydrates could be analyzed quantitatively by determining IC(50) values of the soluble carbohydrates with the carbohydrate microarrays. This work provides a simple procedure to prepare carbohydrate microarray for high-throughput parallel characterization of carbohydrate-protein interaction.
