English

Subject field(s)
  • Non-Surgical Treatment
  • Atomic Physics
CONT

A nanoshell is a type of spherical nanoparticle consisting of a dielectric core which is covered by a thin metallic shell (usually gold).

CONT

Gold nanoshells are shuttled into tumors by the use of phagocytosis where phagocytes engulf the nanoshells through the cell membrane to form an internal phagosome, or macrophage. After this it is shuttled into a cell and enzymes are usually used to metabolize it and shuttle it back out of the cell. These nanoshells are not metabolized so for them to be effective they just need to be within the tumor cells and photoinduced cell death is used to terminate the tumor cells.

Key term(s)
  • nano shell
  • nano-shell

Domaine(s)
  • Traitements non chirurgicaux

CONT

[...] certaines nanoparticules d'or (en fait ici des nanocoquilles) réagissent uniquement à la lumière dans le proche infrarouge, fréquence à laquelle les tissus sont transparents. La méthode de traitement du cancer est la suivante : on injecte des nanocoquilles dans les tumeurs, puis on irradie les tumeurs avec du proche infrarouge. Les nanoparticules se mettent alors à chauffer et «cuisent» littéralement les cellules environnantes. [...] Plus on va dans le rouge, plus les cellules chauffent. On arrose les tumeurs en infrarouge [...]

Subject field(s)
  • Biochemistry

CONT

Activation of macrophages by bacterial lipopolysaccharide(LPS) induces transcription of genes that encode for proinflammatory regulators of the immune response. Previous work has suggested that activation of the transcription factor activator protein 1(AP-1) is one LPS-induced event that mediates this response. Consistent with this notion, we found that LPS stimulated AP-1-mediated transcription of a transfected reporter gene in the murine macrophage cell line RAW 264. 7. As AP-1 activity is regulated in part by activation of the c-Jun N-terminal kinase(JNK), which phosphorylates and subsequently increases the transcriptional activity of c-Jun, we examined whether LPS treatment of macrophages resulted in activation of this kinase.

Insoluble peptidoglycan(PGN) from staphylococcal cell walls as well as soluble PGN(sPGN) secreted by staphylococci in the presence of beta-lactam antibiotics induced TNF-alpha mRNA and secretion of bioactive TNF-alpha in the murine RAW264. 7 macrophage cell line. PGN and sPGN also induced rapid and dose-dependent tyrosine phosphorylation of several cellular proteins, including lyn and mitogen-activated protein kinases(extracellular signal-regulated kinases; but not hck, fgr, or vav) and increased the activities of mitogen-activated protein and rsk kinases. These PGN-and sPGN-induced effects were qualitatively similar to the effects induced by ReLPS, but higher concentrations of PGN and sPGN than ReLPS were required.
