Aims: Characterize mononuclear cell migration after acute-myocardial infarction (MI).
Material And Methods: Male Lewis rats underwent a left thoracotomy and ligation of the left anterior descending coronary artery (MI group). Control animals underwent thoracotomy without ligation (Sham group). Animals were sacrificed at 0, 2, 4, or 24 hr after the onset of ischemia. Leukocyte migration was assessed using isolated and In(111) labeled mononuclear cells (injected at the onset of ischemia) and gamma-count determined at 24 hours. Inhibition of migration was evaluated with monoclonal anti alpha4 and/or beta2 antibodies.
Results: Serum troponin was significantly elevated in animals with MI as compared with Sham (p = .017). Labeled mononuclear cell migration was five-fold higher in MI-treated animals than in Sham (p = .006). ED-1 positive mononuclear cells were confirmed in the left myocardium after 24 hr of ischemia. MCP-1 mRNA was significantly elevated in the left myocardium at 2 hr and 4 hr and peaked at 24 hr (p <.05). In addition, alpha4 integrin blockade inhibited labeled mononuclear cell migration by 22%. Blockade of beta2 integrin inhibited mononuclear cell migration by 48%, while the combined alpha4+beta2 blockade resulted in 59% inhibition of labeled mononuclear cell migration compared with treatment with isotype control antibody (p = .001).
Conclusions: Significant ED1+ mononuclear cell migration within 24 hr of MI correlated with peak MCP-1 mRNA. Monoclonal antibody blockade suggested that early mononuclear cell migration is dependent only in part on alpha4 and beta2 integrins.

In this work, we evaluated the anticancer activity of compounds 1 (mononuclear) and 2 (dinuclear) copper(II) coordination compounds derived from the ligand 5-methylsalicylaldehyde 2-furoyl hydrazone (H2L) over MDA-MB-231 Triple-negative breast cancer (TNBC) cells, and compared their activities with that of a newly synthesized, protonated, dinuclear analogue of 2 (complex 3). Here, we report the synthesis of compound 3 and it has been characterized in the solid state (X-ray diffraction, FTIR) and in solution (EPR, UV-Vis, ESI) as well as its electrochemical profile. Complexes 1-3 impaired cell viability from 0.

Autosomal dominant polycystic kidney disease (ADPKD) is a dominant genetic disorder caused primarily by mutations in the PKD1 gene, resulting in the formation of numerous cysts and eventually kidney failure. However, there are currently no gene therapy studies aimed at correcting PKD1 gene mutations. In this study, we identified two mutation sites associated with ADPKD, c.

Enzyme-linked immunosorbent spot analysis is frequently used to investigate immune responsiveness during clinical trials. However, ELISpot classically utilizes peripheral blood mononuclear cell isolates from whole blood, requiring relatively high blood draw volumes and removing both granulocytes and bound drug. Here, we describe a novel protocol whereby CD45 cells are magnetically isolated from human whole blood and co-incubated with serum isolated from the same subject.

Background: Sepsis is regarded as a dysregulated immune response to infections. Recent study showed partially reversal of immunosuppression by trained immunity, which fosters an enhanced immune response towards a secondary challenge. However, the role of trained immunity in sepsis has not been fully understood.
