Functions of TRF2: From Telomere Protection to DNA Damage Signaling and Vascular RemodelingKhan, Sheik Jamaludin 18 June 2008 (has links)
TTAGGG repeat factor 2 (TRF2) is a protein that plays an important role in capping telomere ends from DNA damage responses. Telomere DNA consists of double strand repeats of the TTAGGG sequence ending with a 3'single-stranded overhang of the guanine strand (the G-strand overhang). TRF2 protects telomeres from being recognized as double-stranded breaks. It is thought that this protection is performed through the formation of T-loop structures and recruitment of proteins into a complex called shelterin. The exact mechanism of T-loop formation is unknown. I show with in vitro biochemical studies that TRF2 specifically interacts with telomeric ss/ds DNA junctions and binding is sensitive to the sequence of the G-strand overhang and double-stranded DNA sequence at the junction. Binding assays with TRF2 truncation mutants suggest that TRF2 interacts with both the double-stranded DNA through the C-terminal DNA binding domain and the G-strand overhang through the N-terminus. Mobility shifts and atomic force microscopy with truncation mutants bound to telomeric DNA also show that a previously uncharacterized "linker" region within TRF2 is involved in DNA-specific TRF2 oligomerization. From these observations, I suggest that TRF2 forms protective loops by oligomerizing through both a previously characterized dimerization domain and the linker region. I propose that loop formation involving the telomere ends is accomplished through direct interactions between TRF2 and the G-strand overhang. In addition to DNA protection, a new role has emerged for TRF2 in sensing DNA damage. TRF2 can be phosphorylated within its dimerization domain by ATM and recruited to DNA damage foci in cells. The inhibition of TRF2 function alone has been shown to induce senescence and apoptosis in vascular endothelial cells. Since the common stimuli for a senescence phenotype is activation of a DNA damage response, I studied the relationship between DNA damage and TRF2 phosphorylation. Ex-vivo characterization of DNA damage-induced changes in vascular smooth muscle cells (VSMC) was undertaken. VSMC treated with H202 induced an increase in reactive oxygen species (ROS), and 8-oxo-guanine accumulation resulting in cell cycle arrest, chromatin condensation and a senescent phenotype. Interestingly phosphorylated TRF2 and ATM were also up regulated. Balloon injury was used to test the connection between phosphorylated TRF2 and senescence during vascular remodeling in rat arteries. Vascular remodeling as judged by neointima formation was associated with accumulation of 8-oxo-guanine, DNA damage signaling, including phosphorylated TRF2, an increase in cell cycle inhibitors and senescence. These events were exaggerated in aged animals and are consistent with a role in telomere dysfunction, and age related diseases.

Externe Stabilisierung von Venenbypässen durch Fibrinkleber führt zur Intimahyperplasie und aneurysmatischen Venengraftdegeneration. / Extravascular perivenous fibrin support leads to aneurysmal degeneration and intimal hyperplasia in arterialized vein grafts in the rat.El-Sayed Ahmad, Ali 03 July 2012 (has links)
EINLEITUNG: Die externe Stabilisierung von
Venengrafts soll die Scherkräfte auf die Venenwand vermindern und
dadurch die Ausbildung einer Neointimaproliferation reduzieren. In
experimentellen Modellen wurde diese Hypothese im Kurzzeitversuch
überprüft. Es fanden sich in diesem Zeitraum widersprüchliche
Ergebnisse. Ziel unserer Untersuchung war es, in einem neuen Modell
der arterialisierten segmentalen Vena-jugularis-Transposition auf
die infrarenale Aorta den Einfluss einer externen
Fibrinkleberstabilisierung auf die Neointimabildung des Venengrafts
im Langzeitversuch darzustellen. MATERIAL UND METHODEN: Männlichen
Wistar-Ratten wurden Segmente der Vena jugularis entnommen und in
Flussrichtung, nach Entfernen eines Aortensegmentes, in die
infrarenale Aorta eingebracht. Somit entspricht dieses einem
Venenbypassmodell mit komplett arterialisiertem Venengraft.

Efecto del 2-metoxiestradiol en el remodelado vascular inducido por la hipertensiónBonacasa Fernández, Bárbara 29 June 2007 (has links)
OBJETIVO: Estudiar el efecto del tratamiento con 2-metoxiestradiol en el remodelado vascular miocárdico inducido por la hipertensión y tras una lesión vascular por denudación endotelial en arteria femoral.MATERIAL Y MÉTODOS: modelo de hipertensión: se han utilizado 5 grupos experimentales de ratas SHR de 10 semanas de vida: rata hembra intacta, rata hembra ovarioectomizada, rata hembra ovarioectomizada y tratada con 2-metoxiestradiol, rata macho y rata macho tratada con 2-metoxiestradiol. Se les midió la presión por pletismografía una vez por semana hasta la semana 18. En la semana 18 se les extrae en corazón y los vasos del lecho mesentérico para realizar los protocolos de análisis de la estructura vascular miocárdica y de producción de anión superóxido y expresión de proteínas relacionadas con la proliferación celular. Modelo de lesión vascular: se han utilizado 5 grupos experimentales de ratas SD: rata hembra intacta, rata hembra ovarioectomizada, rata hembra ovar ioectomizada y tratada con 2-metoxiestradiol, rata macho y rata macho tratada con 2-metoxiestradiol. A la semana de establecer los grupos, se les realiza la cirugía de lesión endotelial por denudación y a las dos semanas se extrae la muestra y se cuantifica la formación de neoíntima.RESULTADOS: Modelo de Hipertensión: Existen diferencias entre sexos en las ratas SHR, tanto en la evolución de la Hipertensión como en el remodelado vascular miocárdico, en la actividad de la NADPH oxidasa vascular de lecho mesentérico y en los factores protéicos de proliferación celular. El tratamiento con 2-metoxiestradiol atenuó el aumento de la presión arterial sistólica provocada por la ovarioectomía así como en el remodelado vascular miocárdico. En la expresión de proteínas y en la actividad de la enzima NADPH oxidasa disminuyó pero no de forma significativa. En las ratas macho, el tratamiento con 2-metoxiestradiol atenuó la evolución de la hipertensión, el remodelado vascular miocárdico, e l incremento de la actividad de la enzima NADPH oxidasa y los factores de proliferación celular. Modelo de Lesión Vascular: No hemos observado diferencias entre sexos en la formación de neoíntima. La ovarioectomía provocó un incremento en la formación de neoíntima y el tratamiento con 2-metoxiestradiol atenuó dicho incremento. En ratas macho, este metabolito no mostró efecto ninguno.
