New phenotypic diversity associated with the mitochondrial tRNA (Ser(UCN)) gene mutation (2005)

  • Pulkes,
  • T.,
  • Liolitsa,
  • D.,
  • Eunson,
  • L.H.,
  • ...

We performed detailed clinical, histopathological, biochemical, in vitro translation and molecular genetic analysis in patients from two unrelated families harbouring the tRNA(Ser(UCN))...

Beta-2-glycoprotein specificity of human anti-phospholipid antibody resides on the light chain: a novel mechanism for acquisition of cross-reactivity by an autoantibody (2005)

  • Kumar,
  • S.,
  • Nagl,
  • S.,
  • Kalsi,
  • J.K.,
  • ...

We have recently shown that the anti-cardiolipin activity of human anti-phospholipid antibody UK4 (lambda) resides on its heavy chain. We now show that UK4 possesses strong reactivity to the...

Cognitive vulnerability in subgroups of MND (2005)

Diltiazem-induced neuroprotection in glutamate excitotoxicity and ischemic insult of retinal neurons (2005)

  • Vallazza-Deschamps,
  • G.,
  • Fuchs,
  • C.,
  • Cia,
  • D.,
  • ...

PURPOSE: Cell death is often related to an abnormal increase in Ca(2+) flux. In the retina, Ca(2+) channels are mainly from the L-type that do not inactivate with time. Under excitotoxic and ischemic...

Excessive activation of cyclic nucleotide-gated channels contributes to neuronal degeneration of photoreceptors (2005)

  • Vallazza-Deschamps,
  • G.,
  • Cia,
  • D.,
  • Gong,
  • J.,
  • ...

In different animal models, photoreceptor degeneration was correlated to an abnormal increase in cGMP concentration. The cGMP-induced photoreceptor toxicity was demonstrated by applying the...

Advanced glycation end products can induce glial reaction and neuronal degeneration in retinal explants (2005)

  • Lecleire-Collet,
  • A.,
  • Tessier,
  • L.H.,
  • Massin,
  • P.,
  • ...

BACKGROUND/AIMS: Neuronal degeneration has been reported to occur in diabetic retinopathy before the onset of detectable microvascular abnormalities. To investigate whether advanced glycation end...

Retinal-cell-conditioned medium prevents TNF-alpha-induced apoptosis of purified ganglion cells (2005)

  • Fuchs,
  • C.,
  • Forster,
  • V.,
  • Balse,
  • E.,
  • ...

PURPOSE: Retinal ischemic processes occurring in glaucoma or diabetic retinopathy induce the secretion of tumor necrosis factor (TNF)-alpha. This cytokine was reported to be either toxic to or...

The effect of image colour distortion on evaluation of donor liver suitability for transplantation (2004)

Some medical applications rely on the use of colour in the diagnostic process, even when poor colour reproduction can affect diagnosis. In this paper, we investigate the effect colour distortion can...

Different molecular sites of action for the KATP channel inhibitors, PNU-99963 and PNU-37883A (2003)

  • Cui,
  • Y.,
  • Tinker,
  • A.,
  • Clapp,
  • L.H.

1. We investigated the mechanism of action of two novel nonsulphonylurea ATP-sensitive potassium channel (K(ATP)) inhibitors, PNU-99963 and PNU-37883A, on four types of cloned K(ATP) channels. 2....

Assembly limits the pharmacological complexity of ATP-sensitive potassium channels (2002)

  • Giblin,
  • J.P.,
  • Cui,
  • Y.,
  • Clapp,
  • L.H.,
  • ...

ATP-sensitive potassium channels (K(ATP) channels) are formed from an octameric complex of an inwardly rectifying K(+) channel (Kir6.1, Kir6.2) and a sulfonylurea receptor (SUR1, SUR2A, and SUR2B)....

The molecular composition of KATP channels in human pulmonary artery smooth muscle cells and their modulation by growth (2002)

  • Cui,
  • Y.,
  • Tran,
  • S.,
  • Tinker,
  • A.,
  • ...

Multiple types of ATP-sensitive potassium (K(ATP)) channels have been described in smooth muscle, including those inhibited by ATP and those activated by nucleotide diphosphate (K(NDP)). The...

Angiotensin-converting enzyme inhibition enhances a subthreshold stimulus to elicit delayed preconditioning in pig myocardium (2001)

OBJECTIVES: We assessed the effect of angiotensin-converting enzyme (ACE) inhibition in combination with a subthreshold preconditioning (PC) stimulus to elicit delayed preconditioning against...

  • O'Brien,
  • A.J.,
  • Wilson,
  • A.J.,
  • Sibbald,
  • R.,
  • ...

Endotoxin-induced vascular hyporeactivity to phenylephrine (PE) is well described in rodent aorta, but has not been investigated in smaller vessels in vitro. Segments of rat superior mesenteric...
