    Notes: Abstract Objectives The purpose of this study was to explore the effect of high dietary cholesterol on the lipid composition, Na+−K+-ATPase activity and ouabain receptor property of the myocardial sarcolemma. Methods Male New Zealand white rabbits were fed with standard chow or standard chow supplemented with 0.5% (w/w) cholesterol and 10% (w/w) coconut oil to induce hypercholesterolemia. After 8 weeks, the rabbits were sacrificed; a myocardial sarcolemma fraction was then prepared from the left ventricular myocardium and analyzed for lipid composition. Assay of Na+−K+-ATPase activity and3H-ouabain binding studies were performed in the myocardial sarcolemma from the control and cholesterol-fed rabbits. Results The cholesterol content, but not the phospholipid content, of the sarcolemma was significantly greater in the cholesterol-fed group, thus, resulting in an increased cholesterol/phospholipid molar ratio in the cholesterol-fed group. In addition, a decrease in Na+−K+-ATPase activity was also found in this group. The decrease in Na+−K+-ATPase activity was selective, since the Mg++-ATPase and 5′-nucleotidase activities remained unchanged. In the3H-ouabain binding study, a decrease in the number of maximum binding sites, but not the binding affinity, for3H-ouabain was foundie the cholesterol-fed group. Conclusions High dietary cholesterol induces higher levels of cholesterol not only in the plasma, but also in the myocardial sarcolemma. These changes result in decreased myocardial Na+−K+-ATPase activity mediated by a reduction in the maximum number of binding sites for ouabain but not a change in binding affinity.

    Notes: Abstract Cytokeratins are one group of intermediate filament proteins responsible for the integrity of cell structure, and have been recently reported to play a role in conferring a drug resistance phenotype. MAb Cx-99 is a monoclonal antibody exhibiting the specificity toward its corresponding antigen which was recently identified as the cytokeratin-19 protein. In the present study, we found that the level of cytokeratin-19 in cervical cancer cells could be decreased by incubation of cancer cells with MAb Cx-99. The reduction of cytokeratin-19 level had a killing effect on cervical carcinoma SIHA and HeLa S3 cell lines. The DNA ladder pattern, convoluted nuclei and blebbing morphology were observed with these cells after exposure to MAb Cx-99 for 72 h, suggesting that the cytotoxic mechanism of reduced cytokeratin-19 was mediated by induction of apoptosis. Moreover, the MAb Cx-99 treatment could increase the cytotoxicities of cancer chemotherapeutic agents such as cisplatin and vinblastine to both cervical carcinoma cell lines. The LD80 values were at least 15-fold reduced when cancer cells were treated with cisplatin or vinblastine in the presence of MAb Cx-99. These results suggest that the functional role of cytokeratin-19 was associated with the apoptosis prevention and drug resistance of cervical cancer cells.
