Splenectomy improves liver fibrosis via tumor necrosis factor superfamily 14 (LIGHT) through the JNK/TGF-β1 signaling pathway

Splenectomy has been reported to improve liver fibrosis in patients with cirrhosis and hypersplenism. However, the mechanisms remain unclear. Tumor necrosis factor superfamily 14 (TNFSF14; also known as LIGHT) is highly expressed in the context of fibrosis and promotes disease progression in patients with fibrotic diseases such as pulmonary and skin fibrosis. Here, we determined whether splenectomy controls the production of LIGHT to improve liver fibrosis. Splenectomy reduced serum LIGHT levels in cirrhotic patients with hypersplenism and a ConA-induced liver fibrosis mouse model. Blocking LIGHT resulted in the downregulation of TGF-β1 in RAW264.7 cells. LIGHT treatment of RAW264.7 and JS1 cells in coculture regulated transforming growth factor-β1 (TGF-β1) expression through the activation of JNK signaling. Small interfering RNA-mediated silencing of lymphotoxin β receptor (LTβR) in macrophages resulted in pronounced decreases in the levels of fibrosis and αSMA in JS1 cells. These results indicated that LIGHT bound to LTβR and drove liver fibrosis in vitro. Blocking TGF-β1 abolished the effect of LIGHT in vitro. Furthermore, the administration of recombinant murine LIGHT protein-induced liver fibrosis with splenectomy, while blocking LIGHT without splenectomy improved liver fibrosis in vivo, revealing that the decrease in fibrosis following splenectomy was directly related to reduced levels of LIGHT. Thus, high levels of LIGHT derived from the spleen and hepatic macrophages activate JNK signaling and lead to increased TGF-β1 production in hepatic macrophages. Splenectomy attenuates liver fibrosis by decreasing the expression of LIGHT.Subject terms: Tumour-necrosis factors, Liver fibrosis, Hepatic stellate cells, Liver cirrhosis, Experimental models of disease

Luminescence centers in porous silicon

Photoluminescence studies on porous silicon show that there are luminescence centers present in the surface states. By taking photoluminescence spectra of porous silicon with respect to temperature, a distinct peak can be observed in the temperature range 100–150 K. Both linear and nonlinear relationships were observed between excitation laser power and the photoluminescence intensity within this temperature range. In addition, there was a tendency for the photoluminescence peak to red shift at low temperature as well as at low excitation power. This is interpreted as indicating that the lower energy transition becomes dominant at low temperature and excitation power. The presence of these luminescence centers can be explained in terms of porous silicon as a mixture of silicon clusters and wires in which quantum confinement along with surface passivation would cause a mixing of andX band structure between the surface states and the bulk. This mixing would allow the formation of luminescence centers.     

μ-phenoxo-bridged binuclear copper(II) complexes

Summary Two -phenoxo-bridged binuclear copper(II) complexes, [Fsal(GG)₂Cu₂Cl₃]·H₂O (1) containing an exogenous chloride-bridge and [Fsal(GG)₂Cu₂(OH)](ClO₄)₂·H₂O (2) containing an exogenous hydroxide-bridge, where {Fsal(GG)₂ = 2,6-bis[N-(acetylglycine)-imino-methylene]-4-methylphenol}, were synthesized. The complexes were characterized be several spectroscopic methods. According to variable temperature magnetic susceptibility measurements (4–300 K), the hydroxide-bridged complex (2) has a weak antiferromagnetic spin exchange integral (J =- 23.6 cm), while the chloride complex (1) has an unusual weak ferromagnetic spin exchange integral (J = + 30.9 cm); both complexes have similar optical spectra in the aqueous solutions.     

Hydrolysis of 2-aminoethanethiolsulfate ions

The kinetics of the acid catalyzed hydrolysis of 2-aminoethanethiolsulfate (AETS) ions were investigated. The dependence of the hydrolysis rate constant on acidity and temperature was determined. The hydrolysis rate equation can be expressed as where H_o is the Hammett acidity function. The rate constant, k, can be expressed as The pK_a's for the compound were measured and literature value of pK_a was found to be in error. The values determined in this study are pK_a1 < ?0.5 and pK_a2 = 9.1 ± 0.1. General acid catalysis of the hydrolysis reaction was found not to proceed to a significant degree. © 1994 John Wiley & Sons, Inc.

An order-disorder transition in Sr2IrD5: Evidence for square pyramidal IrD5 units from powder neutron diffraction data

Neutron diffraction data have been collected on a powdered sample of Sr₂IrD₅ over a range of temperatures. The compound, which is cubic at room temperature, has been found to exhibit a gradual transformation to a tetragonal phase in the temperature range 200-140 K. As a result of the transition, deuterium atoms which randomly occupy sixfold positions in the cubic phase, become tetragonally ordered. A small fraction of the cubic phase remained untransformed at 4.2 K. Both the cubic and tetragonal structures are consistent with square pyramidal IrD₅ units with average Ir---D distances of 1.714 and 1.718 Å, respectively. Agreement factors, R₁, for the two structural analyses are 3.44 and 4.94%.
