33 results about "Chromaffin cell" patented technology

Chromaffin cells, also pheochromocytes, are neuroendocrine cells found mostly in the medulla of the adrenal glands in mammals. These cells serve a variety of functions such as serving as a response to stress, monitoring carbon dioxide and oxygen concentrations in the body, maintenance of respiration and the regulation of blood pressure. They are in close proximity to pre-synaptic sympathetic ganglia of the sympathetic nervous system, with which they communicate, and structurally they are similar to post-synaptic sympathetic neurons. In order to activate chromaffin cells, the splanchnic nerve of the sympathetic nervous system releases acetylcholine, which then binds to nicotinic acetylcholine receptors on the adrenal medulla. This causes the release of catecholamines. The chromaffin cells release catecholamines: ~80% of adrenaline (epinephrine) and ~20% of noradrenaline (norepinephrine) into systemic circulation for systemic effects on multiple organs (similarly to secretory neurones of the hypothalamus), and can also send paracrine signals. Hence they are called neuroendocrine cells.

Application of artemisinin in preparing medicament for preventing and treating neurological diseases

The invention discloses application of artemisinin and derivatives thereof in preparing medicaments for preventing and treating neurological diseases. In the application, the nerve cell line of rat adrenal pheochromocytoma PC12, retinal nerve cell line RGC-5 and primary cortical neuron are on behalf of experiment objects, sodium nitroprusside and hydrogen peroxide are used to simulate and induce oxidative stress, cell apoptosis and other cell injuries of nerve cells. Researches discover that the artemisinin has a protective effect on sodium nitroprusside and hydrogen peroxide induced cell injury, the protective effect mechanism of the artemisinin and derivatives thereof is primarily discussed, and results indicate that the artemisinin and derivatives thereof can be used as nerve protection medicaments for preventing and treating various neurological diseases, such as various neurodegenerative diseases, acute and chronic neurodegenerative diseases, neurological eye disease and the those neurological diseases mainly related to oxidative stress injuries and cell apoptosis. The application brings a new direction to treatment and prevention of neurological diseases.

Erythropoietin administration to improve graft survival

The present invention provides methods, compounds and kits for increasing the viability of cells. The methods involve treating cells that make up a tissue graft with erythropoietin before, during or after delivery or administration. The method can employ cells of different types, including cells of neural or paraneural origin, such as adrenal chromaffin cells. Also useful are cell lines grown in vitro. Cells not of neural or paraneural origin, such as fibroblasts, may also be used following genetic alteration to express a desired neural product such as a neurotransmitter or a neuronal growth factor. The method is used to treat neurological diseases such as Parkinson's disease, Alzheimer's disease, Huntington's disease, epilepsy, and traumatic brain or spinal cord injury.

PCR primer used for building library for chromaffin cell pathogenic gene next generation sequencing and library building method

The invention discloses a PCR primer used for building a library for chromaffin cell pathogenic gene next generation sequencing and a library building method, wherein the PCR primer is selected from nucleotides shown in SEQ ID NO:1-SEQ ID NO:70; and chromaffin cell pathogenic genes are SDHB, SDHC, SDHD, MAX, VHL, TMEM127 and RET. The library building method comprises the following steps: utilizing extracted human genome DNA as a template, adopting the primer as a specific amplification part of the primer to carry out first-round PCR amplification; diluting a product of the-first PCR amplification as a template of second-round PCR amplification; carrying out the second-round PCR amplification, namely carrying out another round of amplification by utilizing a universal primer of the first-round PCR amplification, and adding index required by a sequencing machine and a base sequence used for identifying the sequencing machine in a specific primer identification zone; and purifying a second-round sequencing product with nucleic acid, so that the second-round sequencing product can be subjected to sequencing on the sequencing machine. The library building method disclosed by the invention is designed and developed self and is extremely low in cost compared with a purchased foreign kit.

Preparation method and application of total steroidal saponin extracts of dwarf lilyturf roots

The invention provides a preparation method of total steroidal saponin extracts of dwarf lilyturf roots, which comprises the following steps: crushing traditional Chinese medicine dwarf lilyturf roots, leaching with methanol, concentrating through vacuum filtration, separating through an ODS column, and finally separating through a silica gel chromatography open column. Based on an anti-senile dementia in-vitro screening model, experiment on rat adrenal pheochromocytoma cells proves that the total steroidal saponin extracts of dwarf lilyturf roots have activity remarkably similar to that of a nerve growth factor (NGF) and can promote nerve cells to grow out and protrude. Thus, the invention is applicable to the preparation of medicaments for preventing and treating senile dementia, especially medicaments for treating Alzheimer diseases and other neurodegenerative diseases. The invention expands the pharmaceutical application of the total steroidal saponin extracts of dwarf lilyturf roots; the preparation method is convenient; the extracted product has high purity; and dwarf lilyturf roots have extensive sources and can be acquired conveniently.

Application of QSER1 gene and related medicine thereof

The invention mainly elaborates application of QSER1 protein as a biomarker for diagnosis and prognosis of multiple tumors in multiple tumors and a method. The present invention describes the diagnosis of QSER1 in predicting a variety of cancers, such as liver cancer, sarcoma, kidney cancer, gastric adenocarcinoma, pheochromocytoma and parangganglioma, pancreatic cancer, breast cancer, gastric cancer, and the like. The invention further constructs shRNA (short hairpin Ribonucleic Acid) capable of specifically interfering with QSER1 gene expression, plasmids capable of interfering with QSER1 gene expression, lentiviruses capable of interfering with QSER1 gene expression and an antibody capable of specifically recognizing QSER1. The plasmid with the specific shRNA sequence and the lentivirus provided by the invention can reduce the expression level of the QSER1 gene, so that the growth of cells and the formation of cell clone can be inhibited, the apoptosis of tumor cells can be promoted, and the plasmid and the lentivirus have great significance in diagnosis and treatment of tumors. According to research results of the invention, a kit for diagnosis and prognosis prediction of various cancers can be developed, and the kit has a wide clinical application prospect.
