چکیده
This paper will set the stage for the symposium on Nanotechnology and the Environment: Focus on Green Nanotechnology. I will discuss the various aspects of green nano and the progress in the field. Several of these aspects are seemingly incompatible, for example, producing nanomaterials in a green manner and learning that they are ultimately toxic to humans or other organisms; using nanomaterials in consumer products without planning for their ultimate disposal or recycle; developing environmentally friendly nanomaterials for dispersive use may have unintended consequences.

Endothelial Cell E- and P-Selectin and Vascular Cell Adhesion Molecule-1 Function as Signaling Receptors
Previous studies have shown that polymorphonuclear leukocyte (PMN) adherence to endothelial cells (EC) induces transient increases in EC cytosolic free calcium concentration ([Ca2+]i) that are required for PMN transit across the EC barrier (Huang, A.J., J.E. Manning, T. M. Bandak, M.C. Ratau, K.R. Hanser, and S.C. Silverstein. 1993. J. Cell Biol. 120:1371-1380). To determine whether stimulation...
متن کاملEndothelial cell cytosolic free calcium regulates neutrophil migration across monolayers of endothelial cells
Polymorphonuclear leukocytes (PMN) traverse an endothelial cell (EC) barrier by crawling between neighboring EC. Whether EC regulate the integrity of their intercellular adhesive and junctional contacts in response to chemotaxing PMN is unresolved. EC respond to the binding of soluble mediators such as histamine by increasing their cytosolic free calcium concentration ([Ca++]i) (Rotrosen, D., a...
متن کاملCholesterol metabolism and efflux in human THP-1 macrophages.
This study has investigated in detail factors regulating accumulation, esterification, and mobilization of cholesterol in human THP-1 macrophages. Human THP-1 monocytes were differentiated into macrophages and then cholesterol enriched by exposure to acetylated LDL (AcLDL), together with [3H]free cholesterol (FC). Although THP-1 macrophages accumulated FC and esterified cholesterol (EC), assess...
متن کاملRole of nitric oxide in poly(I-C)-induced endothelial cell expression of leukocyte adhesion molecules.
Polyinosinic-polycytidylic acid [poly(I-C)] is a synthetic double-stranded RNA (dsRNA) that simulates a viral-infected state in cells. It has been shown that viral infection, as well as poly(I-C), stimulates leukocyte adhesion to endothelial cell (EC) monolayers and that this is mediated through the surface expression of the adhesion molecules E-selectin, vascular cell adhesion molecule 1 (VCAM...

The effects of a 100 g/kg substitution of guar gum on the body-weight gain, food consumption and faecal dry weight of mice fed on a high-sucrose diet and on the activities of hepatic glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase (EC 1 . 1 . 1 .49), 6-phosphogluconate dehydrogenase (EC 1 . I . 1 .44), malate dehydrogenase (oxaloacetatedecarboxylating) (NADP+) (EC I . 1 . 1 .40), ATP-citrate (pro-3S)-lyas...
متن کاملPECAM-1 (CD31) regulates a hydrogen peroxide–activated nonselective cation channel in endothelial cells
Hydrogen peroxide (H2O2) released by neutrophils is an important mediator of endothelial cell (EC) injury and vascular inflammation via its effect on EC-free Ca2+, [Ca2+]i. Although the underlying mechanisms are not well understood, platelet endothelial cell adhesion molecule (PECAM)-1/CD-31 is a critical modulator of neutrophil-EC transmigration. PECAM-1 is also known to regulate EC calcium si...
