RESUMO

Sarcopenia is an adverse prognostic factor for diffuse large B-cell lymphoma. A case of diffuse large B-cell lymphoma whose diagnosis, severity, and therapeutic effect of sarcopenia were difficult to determine owing to lymphoma cell infiltration into the psoas major and femoral bone marrow is reported. At presentation, the cross-sectional area of left psoas major at L3 was enlarged owing to lymphoma cell infiltration; thus, sarcopenia evaluation was impossible by L3 skeletal muscle index. The patient was bedridden; thus, sarcopenia evaluation was impossible by the Asian Working Group for Sarcopenia 2019 consensus diagnostic criteria at presentation. At the terminal stage, she could not walk due to bilateral anterior thigh pain caused by lymphoma infiltration into femoral marrow; thus, sarcopenia evaluation was impossible by the Asian Working Group for Sarcopenia 2019 consensus diagnostic criteria. Although the L3 skeletal muscle index and the Asian Working Group for Sarcopenia 2019 consensus diagnostic criteria are representative sarcopenia evaluation systems, they cannot be used to evaluate sarcopenia in some diffuse large B-cell lymphoma patients.

RESUMO

Loss of cartilaginous phenotype during in vitro expansion culture of chondrocytes is a major barrier to the application of chondrocytes for tissue engineering. In previous study, we showed that dedifferentiation of chondrocytes during the passage culture was delayed by matrices formed by primary chondrocytes (P0-ECM). In this study, we investigated bovine chondrocyte functions when being cultured on isolated extracellular matrix (ECM) protein-coated substrata and P0-ECM. Low chondrocyte attachment was observed on aggrecan-coated substratum and P0-ECM. Cell proliferation on aggrecan- and type II collagen/aggrecan-coated substrata and P0-ECM was lower than that on the other ECM protein (type I collagen and type II collagen)-coated substrata. When chondrocytes were subcultured on aggrecan-coated substratum, decline of cartilaginous gene expression was delayed, which was similar to the cells subcultured on P0-ECM. These results indicate that aggrecan plays an important role in the regulation of chondrocyte functions and P0-ECM may be a good experimental control for investigating the role of each ECM protein in cartilage ECM.

RESUMO

The loss of cartilaginous phenotype during in vitro expansion culture of chondrocytes is a major barrier for the application of cartilage tissue engineering. The use of matrices mimicking the in vivo extracellular matrix (ECM) microenvironment is anticipated to be an efficient method to suppress chondrocyte phenotype loss. In this study, we developed several types of ECM derived from serially passaged chondrocytes for use as cell-culture substrata and compared their effects on chondrocyte functions. Primary bovine chondrocytes and serially passaged chondrocytes (at passages 2 and 6) were cultured on tissue-culture polystyrene. After culture, the cellular components were selectively removed from the ECM deposited by the cells. The remaining ECM proteins were used as cell-culture substrata. The composition of the deposited ECM depended on the culture stage of the serially passaged chondrocytes used for the ECM production. The deposited ECM supported the adhesion and proliferation of chondrocytes. The effects of the ECM on the chondrocyte dedifferentiation during in vitro passage culture differed dramatically depending on the phenotype of the chondrocytes used to produce the ECM. The primary chondrocyte-derived ECM delayed the chondrocyte dedifferentiation during in vitro passage culture and is a good candidate for chondrocyte subculture for tissue engineering.

RESUMO

Cell-derived extracellular matrices (ECMs) are a key factor in regulating cell functions in tissue engineering and regenerative medicine. The fact that cells are surrounded by their specific ECM in vivo elicits the need to elucidate the effects of ECM derived from different cell sources on cell functions. Here, three types of ECM were prepared by decellularizing cultured chondrocytes, fibroblasts, and mesenchymal stem cells (MSC) and used for chondrocyte culture to compare their effects on chondrocyte adhesion, proliferation, and differentiation. Chondrocyte adhesion to the chondrocyte-derived ECM was greater than those to the fibroblast- and MSC-derived ECM. Chondrocyte proliferation on the chondrocyte-derived ECM was lower than those on the fibroblast- and MSC-derived ECM. The ECM showed no evident effect on chondrocyte differentiation. The effects of ECM on cell functions depended on the cell source used to prepare the ECM.

RESUMO

Cartilaginous gene expression decreased when chondrocytes were expanded on cell-culture plates. Understanding the dedifferentiation mechanism may provide valuable insight into cartilage tissue engineering. Here, we demonstrated the relationship between the nuclear shape and gene expression during in vitro expansion culture of chondrocytes. Specifically, the projected nuclear area increased and cartilaginous gene expressions decreased during in vitro expansion culture. When the nuclear deformation was recovered by cytochalasin D treatment, aggrecan expression was up-regulated and type I collagen (Col1a2) expression was down-regulated. These results suggest that nuclear deformation may be one of the mechanisms for chondrocyte dedifferentiation during in vitro expansion culture.

RESUMO

Lipid peroxidation products contribute to protein aggregation that occurs during oxidative stress in a number of degenerative disorders. Acrolein (ACR), a highly toxic lipid peroxidation aldehyde, is a strong cross-linking agent of cellular components such as proteins. To understand the mechanisms of oxidative stress-induced protein aggregation, this study characterized the ACR modification of chain B from bovine insulin by mass spectrometry. To identify the cross-linking sites, the ACR-treated peptide was digested with a protease and the resulting peptides were analysed by liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry. Inter- and intra-molecular cross-linking adducts were identified between amino groups and the side chain of histidine in the peptide. These results indicated that the ACR-induced cross-links were accompanied by two reactions, namely Michael addition and Schiff base formation. In conclusion, the use of mass spectrometric techniques provided chemical evidence for protein cross-linking with ACR.

RESUMO

Acrolein, a representative carcinogenic aldehyde, that could be ubiquitously generated in biological systems under oxidative stress shows facile reactivity with a nucleophile such as a protein. In this study, to gain a better understanding of the molecular basis of acrolein modification of protein, we characterized the acrolein modification of a model peptide (the oxidized B chain of insulin) by electrospray ionization-liquid chromatography/mass spectrometry method and established a novel acrolein-lysine condensation reaction. In addition, we found that this condensation adduct represented the major antigenic adduct generated in acrolein-modified protein. To identify the modification site and structures of adducts generated in the acrolein-modified insulin B chain, both the acrolein-pretreated and untreated peptides were digested with V8 protease and the resulting peptides were subjected to electrospray ionization-liquid chromatography/mass spectrometry. This technique identified nine peptides, which contained the acrolein adducts at Lys-29 and the N terminus, and revealed that the reaction of the insulin B chain with acrolein gave multiple adducts, including an unknown adduct containing two molecules of acrolein per lysine. To identify this adduct, we incubated N(alpha)-acetyllysine with acrolein and isolated a product having the same molecular mass as the unknown acrolein-lysine adduct. On the basis of the chemical and spectroscopic evidence, the adduct was determined to be a novel pyridinium-type lysine adduct, N(epsilon)-(3-methylpyridinium)lysine (MP-lysine). The formation of MP-lysine was confirmed by amino acid analysis of proteins treated with acrolein. More notably, this condensation adduct appeared to be an intrinsic epitope of a monoclonal antibody 5F6 that had been raised against acrolein-modified protein.
