Modeling clinically relevant tissue responses using cell models poses a significant challenge for drug development, in particular induced liver injury (DILI). This is mainly because existing lack longevity and tissue-level complexity which limits their utility predictive toxicology. In this study, we established characterized novel bioprinted human mimetics comprised of patient-derived hepatocytes non-parenchymal cells defined architecture. Scaffold-free assembly different types an...

Dilute solutions of sulfhydryl enzymes (phosphoglyceraldehyde dehydrogenase, adenosinetriphosphatase, succinoxidase) showed reduced activity on irradiation by small amounts x-rays. When the inhibition was partial enzyme reactivated addition glutathione. more complete, reactivation only partial. These observations are interpreted as being due to oxidation -SH groups protein products water irradiation, radicals OH and O(2)H, H(2)O(2) atomic oxygen. The irreversible which occurs when dose...
Abstract: Nigrostriatal cell death in 1‐methyl‐4‐phenyl‐1,2,3,6‐tetrahydropyridine (MPTP)‐induced Parkinson's disease results from the inhibition of mitochondrial respiration by 1‐methyl‐4‐phenylpyridinium (MPP + ). MPP blocks electron flow NADH dehydrogenase to coenzyme Q at or near same site as do rotenone and piericidin protects against binding loss activity due these inhibitors. The 4′‐analogs showed increasing affinity for with length alkyl chain, lowest K i , 4′‐heptyl‐MPP being 6 μ M...
A method has been elaborated for the large scale isolation of outer membranes beef liver mitochondria. From these monoamine oxidase was partially purified and digested with trypsin chymotrypsin to yield peptides containing riboflavin covalently linked peptide chain. pure pentapeptide riboflavin‐5′‐phosphate obtained by a series chromatographic procedures. Edman degradation, followed dansylation, revealed amino acid sequence: Ser‐Gly‐Gly‐X‐Tyr, X being which flavin is attached via 8α‐carbon...
The binding sites of rotenone, piericidin A, and Amytal in the reduced nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide oxidase chain heart have been studied with aid rotenone-6a-14C. Binding rotenone continues a linear manner beyond point maximal inhibition respiration, indicating that is tightly bound not only at specific site NADH dehydrogenase segment respiratory but also other submitochondrial particles. Unspecific by treatment particles presence bovine serum albumin (BSA) further minimized successive...

Abstract On the addition of NADH to submitochondrial particles in which oxidase is blocked by rotenone, piericidin A, or Amytal, g = 1.94 signal dehydrogenase appears essentially same manner as untreated preparations. However, appearance NADHinduced iron succinate and cytochromes b c1 inhibited these agents. It concluded that block oxidation on O2 side non-heme dehydrogenase.
