Received: 19 July 2011; in revised form: 16 August 2011 / Accepted: 9 September 2011 / Published: 14 September 2011 Abstract: Photodynamic diagnosis (PDD) is a practical tool currently used in surgical operation of aggressive brain tumors, such as glioblastoma. PDD is achieved by a photon-induced physicochemical reaction which is induced by excitation of protoporphyrin IX (PpIX) exposed to light. Fluorescence-guided gross-total resection has recently been developed in PDD, where 5-aminolevulinic acid (ALA) or its ester is administered as the precursor of PpIX. ALA induces the accumulation of PpIX, a natural photo-sensitizer, in cancer cells. Recent studies provide evidence that adenosine triphosphate (ATP)-binding cassette (ABC) transporter ABCG2 plays a pivotal role in regulating the cellular accumulation of porphyrins in cancer cells and thereby affects the efficacy of PDD.

  • Bilirubin Secretion, Jaundice and Evaluation of Liver Function
    Bilirubin Secretion, Jaundice and Evaluation of Liver Function Howard J. Worman, M. D. Evaluation of Liver Disease and Hepatic Function History Physical Examination Laboratory Tests Sometimes Radiological/Nuclear Medicine Sometimes Liver Biopsy 1 Jaundice occurs as a result of excess bilirubin in the blood. It is a hallmark of liver disease but not always present in liver disease. Jaundice occurs when the liver fails to adequately secrete bilirubin from the blood into the bile. To understand how jaundice occurs, you must first understand bilirubin synthesis, metabolism and secretion. 2 Heme Oxygenase Schuller et al. Nature Structural Biology 6, 860 - 867 (1999) Bilivirdin Reductase Kikuchi et al. Nature Structural Biology 8, 221 - 225 (2001) 3 Bilirubin is frequently depicted as a linear tetrapyrrole. However, intramolecular hydrogen bonding fixes it in a rigid structure that blocks exposure of its polar groups to aqueous solvents, making it very insoluble in blood. 4 Bilirubin in Blood is Bound to Albumin: Uptake into Hepatocyte at Basolateral (Sinusoidal) Membrane Some OATP-C? bilirubin stored in cytosol bound to proteins Bilurubin UDP-glucuronosyltransferase is localized to the endo- plasmic reticulum; it catalyzes conjugation to a diglucuronide, making it more water soluble.

  • Novel Pharmacogenomic Markers of Irinotecan-Induced Severe Toxicity in Metastatic Colorectal Cancer Patients
    Novel pharmacogenomic markers of irinotecan-induced severe toxicity in metastatic colorectal cancer patients Thèse Siwen Sylvialin Chen Doctorat en sciences pharmaceutiques Philosophiae doctor (Ph.D.) Québec, Canada © Siwen Sylvialin Chen, 2015 ii Résumé L’irinotécan est un agent de chimiothérapie largement utilisé pour le traitement de tumeurs solides, particulièrement pour le cancer colorectal métastatique (mCRC). Fréquemment, le traitement par l’irinotécan conduit à la neutropénie et la diarrhée, des effets secondaires sévères qui peuvent limiter la poursuite du traitement et la qualité de vie des patients. Plusieurs études pharmacogénomiques ont évalué les risques associés à la chimiothérapie à base d’irinotécan, en particulier en lien avec le gène UGT1A, alors que peu d’études ont examiné l’impact des gènes codant pour des transporteurs. Par exemple, le marqueur UGT1A1*28 a été associé à une augmentation de 2 fois du risque de neutropénie, mais ce marqueur ne permet pas de prédire la toxicité gastrointestinale ou l’issue clinique. L’objectif de cette étude était de découvrir de nouveaux marqueurs génétiques associés au risque de toxicité induite par l’irinotécan, en utilisant une stratégie d’haplotype/SNP-étiquette permettant de maximiser la couverture des loci génétiques ciblés. Nous avons analysé les associations génétiques des loci UGT1 et sept gènes codants pour des transporteurs ABC impliqués dans la pharmacocinétique de l’irinotécan, soient ABCB1, ABCC1, ABCC2, ABCC5, ABCG1, ABCG2 ainsi que SLCO1B1. Les profils de 167 patients canadiens atteints de mCRC sous traitement FOLFIRI (à base d’irinotécan) ont été examinés et les marqueurs significatifs ont par la suite été validés dans une cohorte indépendante de 250 patients italiens.

Every subunit is consisted of one ferrous (Fe2+ ) iron ion coordinated in the center porphyrin compound. The most prevalent porphyrin in the human is heme Definition of bilirubin : ● Bilirubin is the end product of heme degradation derived from breakdown senescent (aging) erythrocytes by mononuclear phagocytes system specially in the spleen, liver and bone marrow. (It is the water insoluble breakdown product of normal heme catabolism). ● Bilirubin is the greenish yellow pigment excreted in bile, urine and feces. ● The major pigment present in bile is the orange compound bilirubin.

  • “Cumulome” Reveals Major Metabolic Aberrations After Maturation in Vitro
    Walter et al. BMC Genomics (2019) 20:588 https://doi.org/10.1186/s12864-019-5836-5 RESEARCHARTICLE Open Access Analysis of the equine “cumulome” reveals major metabolic aberrations after maturation in vitro Jasmin Walter1* , Fabian Huwiler1, Claudia Fortes2, Jonas Grossmann2, Bernd Roschitzki2, Junmin Hu2, Hanspeter Naegeli3, Endre Laczko2 and Ulrich Bleul1 Abstract Background: Maturation of oocytes under in vitro conditions (IVM) results in impaired developmental competence compared to oocytes matured in vivo. As oocytes are closely coupled to their cumulus complex, elucidating aberrations in cumulus metabolism in vitro is important to bridge the gap towards more physiological maturation conditions. The aim of this study was to analyze the equine “cumulome” in a novel combination of proteomic (nano-HPLC MS/MS) and metabolomic (UPLC-nanoESI-MS) profiling of single cumulus complexes of metaphase II oocytes matured either in vivo (n = 8) or in vitro (n = 7). Results: A total of 1811 quantifiable proteins and 906 metabolic compounds were identified. The proteome contained 216 differentially expressed proteins (p ≤ 0.05; FC ≥ 2; 95 decreased and 121 increased in vitro), and the metabolome contained 108 metabolites with significantly different abundance (p ≤ 0.05; FC ≥ 2; 24 decreased and 84 increased in vitro). The in vitro “cumulome” was summarized in the following 10 metabolic groups (containing 78 proteins and 21 metabolites): (1) oxygen supply, (2) glucose metabolism, (3) fatty acid metabolism, (4) oxidative phosphorylation, (5) amino acid metabolism, (6) purine and pyrimidine metabolism, (7) steroid metabolism, (8) extracellular matrix, (9) complement cascade and (10) coagulation cascade. The KEGG pathway “complement and coagulation cascades” (ID4610; n = 21) was significantly overrepresented after in vitro maturation.
