Relationship between perioperative cardiovascular risk factors and bone marrow cells from patients undergoing coronary artery bypass grafting surgery

L. Zhang, Wang, R., Xiao, C. - S., Wu, Y., and Gao, C. - Q., “Relationship between perioperative cardiovascular risk factors and bone marrow cells from patients undergoing coronary artery bypass grafting surgery”, vol. 14, pp. 15233-15241, 2015.

Cell therapy through the implantation of autologous bone marrow cells has long been used in clinical trials for the treatment of ischemic heart diseases. However, as the outcomes of cell implantation vary among patients, risk factors that might influence the level and function of bone marrow progenitor cells should be determined, to identify patients who would benefit the most from this treatment. We collected clinical and laboratory data from 44 patients scheduled to undergo sternotomy for coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG).

Expression of multidrug resistance 1 and multidrug resistance-related protein 1 in C57BL/6 mice treated with benzene

J. - S. Huang, Zhao, M. - D., Shi, J. - M., Zhang, J. - H., Li, B., Fan, W., and Zhou, Y. - L., “Expression of multidrug resistance 1 and multidrug resistance-related protein 1 in C57BL/6 mice treated with benzene”, vol. 12, pp. 5842-5850, 2013.

ATP-binding cassette super family (ABC) proteins are considered key to oncology and pharmacology studies. We examined the effect of benzene on ABC pump protein levels in C57BL/6 mouse bone marrow mononuclear cells. After a 2-week gavage (200 mg/kg, 5 days per week), the number of peripheral leukocytes, lymphocytes and basophils dropped significantly; there was also a significant decrease in MDR1 and MRP1 gene expression. A significant reduction in expression of P-gp was found; however, there was no significant decrease in the expression of MRP1 and NF-κB p65.
