Ocular vascular and epithelial barriers to microperoxidase.
نویسندگان
چکیده
Microperoxidase (MP) is an ultrastructural tracer of small molecular weight (1,900) derived from horse heart cytochrome c. Within the central nervous system, it is capable of entering the periaxonal space which is not open to horseradish peroxidase (HPR). Because of its small size and unique behavior, MP was used to probe ocular vascular and epithelial barriers. MP did not enter any ocular space from which HRP was excluded. This tracer established a new lower level of permeability in these ocular barrier systems.

Barriers to liposomal gene delivery: from application site to the target
AbstractGene therapy is a therapeutic approach to deliver genetic material into cells to alter their function in entire organism. One promising form of gene delivery system (DDS) is liposomes. The success of liposome-mediated gene delivery is a multifactorial issue and well-designed liposomal systems might lead to optimized gene transfection particularly in vivo. Liposomal gene delivery systems...

متن کاملDecrease of Serum Vascular Endothelial Growth Factor, along with its Ocular Level, after the Periocular Injection of Celecoxib and Propranolol in Streptozotocin-induced Diabetic Mouse Model
Background: There is a direct correlation between ocular vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) level and progression of pathological outcomes in diabetic retinopathy. In our previous study, the periocular administration of propranolol and celecoxib could significantly reduce ocular VEGF levels in a diabetic mouse model. Here, we investigated the changes of serum VEGF after ...
متن کاملExtremely low frequency-pulsed electromagnetic fields affect proangiogenic-related gene expression in retinal pigment epithelial cells
Objective(s): It is known that extremely low frequency-pulsed electromagnetic fields (ELF-PEMF) influence multiple cellular and molecular processes. Retinal pigment epithelial (RPE) cells have a significant part in the emergence and pathophysiology of several ocular disorders, such as neovascularization. This study assessed the impact of ELF-PEMF on the proangiogenic features of RPE cells. Mate...
متن کاملThe redox thermodynamics of microperoxidase are dependent on the solvent medium.
The redox thermodynamics of the heme undecapeptide, microperoxidase have been examined in aqueous buffer and in glycerol. The change in E(o)' on transition from water to glycerol is dominated by the change in deltaS(o)'.
