Beyond the skeletal complications of OI,many patients also report intolerance to physical activity, fatigue and muscle weakness. Indeed, recent studies have demonstrated that skeletal muscle is also negatively affected by OI, both directly and indirectly. Given the well-established interdependence of bone and skeletal muscle in both physiology and pathophysiology and the observations of skeletal muscle pathology in patients with OI, we investigated the therapeutic potential of simultaneous anabolic targeting of both bone and skeletal muscle using a soluble activin receptor 2B(ACVR2B) in a mouse model of type Ⅲ OI(oim). Treatment of 12-week-old oim mice with ACVR2 B for 4 weeks resulted in significant increases in both bone and muscle that were similar to those observed in healthy,wild-type littermates. This proof of concept study provides encouraging evidence for a holistic approach to treating the deleterious consequences of OI in the musculoskeletal system.展开更多

So, alternative concepts must be considered. It is postulated herewith that the stronger force required to accelerate an object moving at a faster speed is due to the increase of its inertia. That ensues in a rise in the gravitational force required to pull that object, and thereby brings to an increase in the gravitational constant. In this paper a formula is derived to calculate these variations in the gravitational constant, which is: . This makes the use of the term “relativistic mass” unnecessary.展开更多

In mechanically ventilated anesthetized dogs (n = 5), mean pulmonary arterial pressure (PAPm) and pulmonary vascular resistance (PVR) during hypoxic ventilation (FIO2 = 0.10) was 25 ?3.1 kPa and 68.7 ?10.2 kPa.s / L respectively. IG-nitro-L-arginine methylester (L-NAME), an inhibitor of nitric oxide synthase, increased the peak value of PAPm and PVR during hypoxic ventilation to 36.6 ?4.7 kPa and 158.4 ?25 kPa.s / L and its effect lasted for 2-3 hours. Meanwhile, plasma endothelin? level in the femoral artery increased by 20.9+ 7.1, 25.6?7.7, 28.6?7.9 pg / ml at the 60 th, 120th, 180th minute after the injection of L-NAME respectively (P<0.05 vs hypoxic control before the injection). In cultured endothelial cells from umbilical veins, endothelin-1 level of culture medium in control group was 35.1 ?.9 pg / 105 cells /ml (n=9). L-NAME increased endothelin-1 level to 42.8 ?4.9pg / 105 cells / ml (n = 9, P < 0.05) in case of 10-11 mol / L and to 43.0+ 4.7 pg / 105 cells / ml in case of 10 -7 mol/L (n=9, F<0.05). These findings indicate that endogenous nitric oxide is an inhibitory modulator of hypoxic pulmonary vasoconstriction and that nitric oxide inhibits the production of endothelin? in vivo and in cultured vascular endothelial cells.展开更多

The essential metal copper (Cu) is required for normal plant growth, but excess amounts are toxic. The SUMO E3 ligase, SIZI, and SIZ1- mediated SUMOylation function in plant tolerance to excess Cu. It is unknown whether deSUMOylation also contributes to Cu tolerance in plants. Here, we report that OTSI, a protease that cleaves SUMO from its substrate proteins, participates in Cu tolerance in Arabidopsis thaliana (Arabi- dopsis). OTS1 loss-of-function mutants (otsl-2 and otsl-3) displayed increased sensitivity to excess Cu. Redox homeostasis and the balance between SUMOylation and deSUMOylation were disrupted in the otsl-3 mutant under excess Cu conditions, The otsl-3 mutant accumulated higher levels of Cu in both shoots and roots compared to wild type. Specific Cu-related metal transporter genes were upregu- lated due to the loss-of-function of OTS% which might explain the high Cu levels in otsl-3. These results suggest that the SUMOylation/deSUMOylation machinery is acti- vated in response to excess Cu, and modulates Cu homeostasis and tolerance by regulating both Cu uptake and detoxification. Together, our findings provide insight into the biological function and regulatory role of SUMOylation/deSUMOylation in plant tolerance to Cu.展开更多
