We have examined DNA adduct formation and cytotoxicity in HL-60 cells treated with either hydroquinone (HQ) or p-benzoquinone (p-BQ Treatment of HQ p-BQ produced the same adduct. The level varied from 0.05 to 10 adducts per 107 nucleotides as a function treatment time concentration for both compounds. To achieve required higher concentrations longer times compared p-BQ. was also more cytotoxic than HQ. Reaction calf thymus p-BQ/HQ mixture five detected by 32P-postlabeling. Two isomers...

A series of potent 5-hydroxytryptamine 7 (5-HT 7) ligands has been synthesized that contain a 1,3-dihydro-2 H-indol-2-one (oxindole) skeleton. The binding these compounds to the 5-HT and 1A receptors was measured. Despite structural similarity two serotonin receptor subtypes, several derivatives exhibited high selectivity receptor. According structure-activity relationship observations, unsubstituted at oxindole nitrogen atom containing tetramethylene spacer between skeleton basic are most...

The aim of the present study was to establish an in vitro Kleefstra syndrome (KS) disease model using human induced pluripotent stem cell (hiPSC) technology. Previously, autism spectrum disorder (ASD) patient with (KS-ASD) carrying a deleterious premature termination codon mutation EHMT1 gene identified. Patient specific hiPSCs generated from peripheral blood mononuclear cells KS-ASD were differentiated into post-mitotic cortical neurons. Lower levels mRNA as well protein expression...

Using P1 nuclease enhanced 32P postlabeling, we investigated DNA adduct formation in HL-60 promyelocytic leukemia cells treated with the benzene metabolites hydroquinone, catechol, and 1,2,4-benzenetriol. Comparison of slopes dose-response curves showed that hydroquinone was 7-9 times more effective than 1,2,4,-benzenetriol catechol at inducing adducts. a good correlation between cytotoxicity. Similar comparisons suggest cellular processes addition to contributed In combination either or...

We have investigated the formation of DNA adducts in bone marrow and white blood cells male B6C3F1 mice treated with benzene using P1-enhanced 32P-postlabeling. No were detected controls or various doses once a day. After twice-daily treatment for 1 to 7 days benzene, 440 mg/kg, one major (no. 1) up two minor both cells. The relative adduct levels these ranged from 0.06 1.46 x 10(-7). significant correlation (r2 = 0.95) between was observed. 7-day mg/kg twice day, number per femur decreased...

While cerebellar alterations may play a crucial role in the development of core autism spectrum disorder (ASD) symptoms, their pathophysiology on function cerebrocerebellar circuit loops is largely unknown. We combined multimodal MRI (9.4 T) brain assessment prenatal rat valproate (VPA) model and correlated immunohistological analysis Purkinje cell number to address this question. hypothesized that suitable functional (fMRI) paradigm might show some altered activity related disrupted...
