TARGETING CELL MEMBRANE LESION WITH CYTOSKELETAL-ANTIGEN SPECIFIC IMMUNOLIPOSOMES... [Pg.1159]

This chapter will be limited to the description of CSIL therapy to ex vivo studies in adult mammalian hearts. Due to page limitations, cell culture, gene delivery and in vivo studies will not be included. Therapeutic efficacy of CSIL in preservation of myocardial viability as well as function (by left ventricular developed pressure measurements) as assessed in globally ischemic Langendorff instrumented hearts is both dose and time dependent. This approach of cell membrane lesion repair and sealing may have broader applications in other cell systems. [Pg.305]

Targeted Sealing of Cell Membrane Lesions Model of Preservation of Cell Viability by Immunoliposome Therapy... [Pg.309]

Our studies support the hypothesis that cardiac cell membrane lesion sealing with CSIL result in preservation of myocardial viability, as determined by function, histochemistry, and ultra-structural morphology. There is a time response to myocardial preservation with CSIL therapy. Early CSIL intervention after the onset of ischemia resulted in almost complete myocardial recovery (18). Even when the intervention was initiated at 20 min of global ischemia, myocardial preservation was still greater than that seen in hearts with IgG-L or placebo treatment. There is also a dose response to CSIL therapy. Sufficient concentration of CSIL is essential to achieve optimal cell membrane lesion sealing (I9).Therefore, CSIL therapy may find therapeutic applications in preservation of myocardial viability and efficient non-viral gene therapy. [Pg.316]

This benefit persisted even with late administration of CSIL. However, there is a time-dependent delay in the recovery to near normal LVDP with a delay in the initiation of CSIL therapy (Figs, lb, 2a, b), which may be due to the need for more extensive myocardial cell membrane lesion sealing. The IgG-liposomes may temporarily plug membrane lesions without fusion with the cell membrane, ultimately leading to myocardial cell death, as determined by NET. Nonetheless, the LVDP of IgC-L-treated hearts was still lower than that of CSIL treated hearts (17, 18). [Pg.317]

Treatment with CSIL enables globally ischemic hearts to return to near normal function within 15 min of reperfusion, which is consistent with the prevention of the occurrence of uncontrolled myocardial Ca overload. The absence of mitochondrial swelling and the return of function to near normal in CSIL-treated hearts are also consistent with the maintenance of Ca homeostasis. Cell membrane lesion sealing with neutral immunoliposomes may also reduce injury mediated by acid and oxidative stress. However, plain liposomes in serum-free... [Pg.318]

Further studies have demonstrated that IL-treated hypoxic cells were growing normally for more than 7 d after the hypoxic event when subsequently cultured under normoxic conditions. These treated cells were able to replicate normally. Prevention of cell death by cell-membrane-lesion sealing as described above could have significant clinical utility. [Pg.174]

One of the earliest indications of ozone injury on several plant species is an upper surface discoloration with a waxy appearance. This symptom often disappears completely a few hours after exposure is terminated. High dosages of ozone cause permanent necrotic lesions on susceptible leaf tissue. Permeability of cell membranes is apparently disrupted, and cell contents are allowed to leak into the intercellular spaces producing a water-soaked appearance. Upon drying, the tissue will totally collapse and turn white or various shades of brown. Lesions which extend through the entire thickness of the leaf are commonly referred to as bifacial... [Pg.25]

The activities of many enzymes are affected by fluorides (5) or by ozone (03) and peroxyacetyl nitrate (PAN) (6). Cells and their constituents, such as mitochondria, chloroplasts, or cell membranes, are structurally or functionally abnormal after exposure to many pollutants (7, 8, 9). With leaves, the most commonly reported event is the appearance of lesions (10,11,12), but altered gaseous exchange (13) and levels of metabolites (14) have also been found. Many of the events associated with plants can be classified as a change in their size or shape or as an accumulation of a pollutant when it is fluoride (15) or a metal (16, 17). [Pg.61]

HS was first described in 1871 by Vanlair and Masius (Vanlair and Masius, 1871). They reported a young woman who had repeated attacks of abdominal pain and jaundice and found that some of her erythrocytes were spherical and much smaller than normal. In 1907, Chauf-fard (Chauffard, 1907) demonstrated increased osmotic fragility of erythrocytes as the hallmark of the disease. A membrane lesion was first suggested by the observation of Bertles in 1957 (Bertles, 1957) that HS red cells are unusually permeable to sodium ions. Since then, many abnormalities have been reported in HS red cells, but it is now clear that HS is a consequence of heterogeneous defects in the red cell membrane proteins. [Pg.69]
