Project description:Background: Methylphenidate (MPH) a psychostimulant prescribed to manage ADHD symptoms, has been increasingly prescribed to children not meeting the strict criteria for ADHD. It has also been misused as a “cognitive enhancer” and as an alternative to other psychostimulants. Here, we investigate whether chronic or acute administration of methylphenidate in mice at either 1mg/kg or 10mg/kg dosing, affects cell number and gene expression in the basal ganglion. Methodology/Principal findings: Through the use of stereological counting methods, we observed a significant reduction (~20%) in dopamine neuron numbers in the substantia nigra pars compacta (SNpc) following chronic administration of 10mg/kg MPH. This dosage of MPH also induced a significant increase in the number of morphologically-activated SNpc microglia. Additionally, exposure to either 1mg/kg or 10 mg/kg MPH increased the sensitivity of SNpc dopamine neurons to 1-methyl-4-phenyl-1,2,3,6-tetrahydropyridine (MPTP)-induced oxidative stress. Unbiased gene screening employing Affymetrix GeneChip® HT MG-430 PM revealed changes in 115 and 54 genes in the substantia nigra (SN) of mice exposed to 1mg/kg and 10mg/kg MPH doses, respectively. Decreases in the mRNA levels of gdnf, dat1, vmat2 and th in the substantia nigra (SN) was observed with both acute and chronic dosing of 10mg/kg MPH. We also found an increase in mRNA levels of the pro-inflammatory genes il-6 and tnf-α in the striatum; although these were seen only at an acute dose of 10mg/kg and not following chronic dosing. Conclusion: Collectively our results suggest that chronic MPH usage in mice, especially at prolonged higher doses, has long-term neurodegenerative consequences.

Project description:Pyronaridine (PN) and chloroquine (CQ) are structurally related anti-malarial drugs with primarily the same mode of action. However, PN is effective against several multidrug-resistant lines of Plasmodium falciparum, including CQ-resistant lines, suggestive of important operational differences between the two drugs. Synchronized trophozoite-stage cultures of P. falciparum strain K1 (CQ resistant) were exposed to 50% inhibitory concentrations (IC50) of PN and CQ, and parasites were harvested from culture after 4 and 24 hours exposure. Global transcriptional changes effected by drug treatment were investigated using DNA microarrays. Plasmodium falciparum in vitro cultures were synchronized to trophozoite stage (22-24h post infection) and exposed to either CQ or PN at IC50 concentrations. 18 sample pairs (drug treated/untreated) were analyzed; 9 for CQ and 9 for PN. All drug-treated samples were labelled with Cy5 and untreated controls were labelled with Cy3.

Project description:The goals of this study is to identify the differential expressed genes in heart of C57BL/6 mice with or without LPS treatment, and compare the differential expressed genes in the heart of LPS injection C57BL/6 mice after Xijiao Dihuang decoction(XJDHT) treatment. Briefly, the mice were randomly divided into 3 groups: control, LPS and LPS + XJDHT groups (n=4 for each group). Mice in Control and LPS groups were intraperitoneal injection with saline and 10mg/kg of LPS respectively, and orally administrated with saline; the mice in LPS + XJDHT groups were intraperitoneal injection with LPS (10 mg/kg) and orally administrated with 50 mg/kg /day of XJDHT for total 3 days. Then the heart were used to identify differentially expressed genes among different groups.

Project description:Clioquinol (CQ or iodochlorhydroxyquin, 5-chloro-7-iodo-8-hydroxyquinoline) is a hydrophobic chelator of copper, zinc, and iron. It was extensively used as an antibiotic for the treatment of diarrhea and skin infection in the mid-1900s, but then withdrawn because it was reported to be associated with subacute myelo-optic neuropathy (SMON) in Japan. Interest in this drug was recently revived as it was shown that CQ specifically kills cancer cells and significantly decreases Abeta level. Nevertheless, the underlying mechanisms of CQ drug effects and side effects are still unclear. We used yeast, Saccharomyces cerevisiae, as a model to study how CQ affects molecular and cellular functions. Genechip analysis was utilized to examine the effect of CQ on gene expression at the genomic level. To study gene expression profiles of yeast treated with CQ, yeast cells were treated with CQ or DMSO for 5 hours and RNAs were extracted for microarray analysis.

Project description:Patients with vivax malaria were enrolled in this study from June 2011 to December 2012 at the Fundacão de Medicina Tropical Doutor Heitor Vieira Dourado (FMT-HVD), an infectious disease referral center located in Manaus, Western Brazilian Amazon. This study, which required a 42-day follow-up period, was approved by the FMT-HVD Institutional Review Board and the Brazilian National Ethics Committee (CONEP) (IRB approval #: CAAE: 12516713.8.0000.0005). All protocols and documentation were reviewed and sample shipments approved by the Emory IRB. Male and female patients were eligible for inclusion if aged 6 months to 60 years, bodyweight >=5 kg, presenting a blood parasite density from 250 to 100,000 parasites/microliter and axillary temperature >=37.5°C or history of fever in the last 48 hours. Exclusion criteria were: use of antimalarials in the previous 30 days, refusal to be followed up for 42 days and any clinical complication. Patients received supervised treatment with 25 mg/kg of chloroquine (CQ) phosphate over a 3-day period (10 mg/kg on day 0 and 7.5 mg/kg on days 1 and 2). Primaquine (0.5 mg/kg per day for 7 days) was prescribed at the end of the 42-day follow-up period. Patients who vomited the first dose within 30 minutes after drug ingestion were re-treated with the same dose. Patients were evaluated on days 0, 1, 2, 3, 7, 14, 28 and 42 and, if they felt ill, at any time during the study period. Blood smear readings, complete blood counts, and diagnostic polymerase chain reaction (PCR) amplifications were performed at all time points. Three aliquots of 100 µL of whole blood from the day of a recurrence were spotted onto filter paper for later analysis by high performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) to estimate the levels of CQ and desethylchloroquine (DCQ) as previously described. In this study, CQ-resistance with parasitological failure was defined as parasite recurrence in the presence of plasma concentrations of CQ and DSQ higher than 100 ng/mL and microsatellite analysis revealing the presence of the same clonal nature at diagnosis and recurrence. The CQ-sensitive control group consisted of patients with no parasitemia recurring during follow-up period. A group of 20 healthy individuals from Brazil was used as non-malarial control group. Within the MaHPIC, this project is known as ‘Experiment HuA’. This dataset was produced by Dean Jones at Emory University.

Project description:The effect of IV-administered Vitamin C on the plasma proteome in the pig trauma model was investigated with label free proteomics. Plasma samples were drawn from 9 male Sinclair swine at baseline, post-trauma, and 0.25, 2, and 4 hours post resuscitation with 500 mL of hydroxyethyl starch. Swine were randomized to receive either saline, low-dose VitC (50 mg/kg), or high-dose VitC (200 mg/kg) during volume resuscitation (N = 3/treatment). High performance LC-MS/MS proteomics was then used to quantitatively measure plasma protein levels over time.

Project description:Peripheral blood samples from children enrolled in the URECA cohort were collected at age 2. In short, at each URECA research center, within 16 hours of blood collection, mononuclear cells were separated and incubated (48 hours, 37C, 5% CO2) in the presence of German cockroach extract (10mg/mL; CR), dust mite extract (Dermatophagoides pteronyssinus, 10mg/mL; DM), tetanus toxoid (5mg/mL; TT), or medium alone (NS).

Project description:The process for making monocyte derived DCs (moDCs) has been previously described (46). All analysis was performed on “day 5” immature DCs. Etanercept 10mg/mL was added to experimental wells on days 0, 2, and 4. We chose this concentration of etanercept as it approximates the plasma concentration of drug when given 50mg BIW.
