  2. 1. Uridine, 4-thiouridine and isomaltitol in an asthma-like model : Anti-inflammatory and modulating effects

    Author : Chamilly Evaldsson; Srinivas Uppugunduri; Margareta Linden; Linköpings universitet; []
    Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Uridine; asthma; 4-thiouridine; isomaltitol; isomalt; inflammation; eosinophilia; Sephadex; animal model; rat; Pharmaceutical pharmacology; Farmaceutisk farmakologi; MEDICINE; MEDICIN; Lung diseases; Lungsjukdomar;

    Abstract : In chronic inflammatory diseases like asthma or rheumatoid arthritis, erroneous and exaggerated accumulation of leukocytes in a tissue inadvertently causes the body harm. Several efficient anti-inflammatory drugs exist, for example corticosteroids and cyclo-oxygenase inhibitors. READ MORE

  4. 2. Model Systems for Metal - DNA Interactions. With a Focus on Anticancer Active Platinum(II) Complexes

    Abstract : Reactions of trans-dicyanodichloroaurate(III) trans-dibromodicyanoaurate(III), trans-diamminedichlorogold(III), cis-diammine(aqua)chloroplatinum(II), cis-ammineaqua-(cyclohexylamine)chloroplatinum(II), chloro(terpyridine)platinum(II) and chloro-(diethylenetriaminepalldium(II) with dimethyl sulfide, thionucleosides, thionucleotides and thione- and guanine-containing 17-mer oligonucleotides have been investigated by use of conventional and high-pressure stopped-flow spectrophotometry and HPLC technique as a function of ionic strength, pH, temperature and pressure in aqueous solutions. The mechanism and rate of oxidation of dimethyl sulfide by gold(III) complexes depends on the concentration of free halide. READ MORE

  5. 3. Principles of transcriptional bursting in mammalian cells

    Author : Anton Larsson; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
    Keywords : ;

    Abstract : In mammalian cells, transcription occurs in discrete bursts leading to fluctuations in transcripts from expressed genes. Although this behavior was first reported not long after the discovery of messenger RNA (mRNA), the methods to measure transcriptional bursting have been limited in throughput and scalability.

  6. 4. Interactions of Anticancer Active Platinum(II) Complexes with DNA

    Author : Johan Kjellström; Bröstcancer-genetik; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Inorganic chemistry; polyelectrolyte; medium effects; salt dependence; DSC; CD; HPLC; oligonucleotide; hairpin; DNA; anticancer active platinum II compounds; kinetics; mechanism; Oorganisk kemi; Cytology; oncology; cancerology; Cytologi; onkologi; cancer;

    Abstract : The kinetics and mechanism for interactions of the anticancer active platinum(II) complexes cis-[PtCl2(NH3)2)], cis-[PtCl2(NH3)(c-C6H11NH2)], and trans-[PtCl2-(NH3)(quinoline)] with DNA have been studied using a combination of HPLC, circular dichroism (CD), UV/vis spectroscopy, and differential scanning calorimetry (DSC). Reactions of the monoaqua forms (charge = +1) of these complexes with single-stranded DNA oligonucleotides, typically between 13-17 bases long, were found to depend on i) the composition of the reaction medium, ii) the exact nature and location of the platination target, and iii) on the DNA structure.
