    Background: The bone marrow (BM) is the most common site of dissemination in patients with aggressive, metastatic neuroblastoma (NB). However, the molecular mechanisms underlying the aggressive behavior of NB cells in the BM niche are still greatly unknown. In the present study, we explored biological mechanisms that play a critical role in NB cell survival and progression in the BM and investigated potential therapeutic targets. Methods: Patient-derived bone marrow (BM) primary cultures were generated using fresh BM aspirates obtained from NB patients. NB cell lines were cultured in the presence of BM conditioned media containing cell-secreted factors, and under low oxygen levels (1% O2) to mimic specific features of the BM microenvironment of high-risk NB patients. The BM niche was explored using cytokine profiling assays, cell migration-invasion and viability assays, flow cytometry and analysis of RNA-sequencing data. Selective pharmacological inhibition of factors identified as potential mediators of NB progression within the BM niche was performed in vitro and in vivo. Results: We identified macrophage migration inhibitory factor (MIF) as a key inflammatory cytokine involved in BM infiltration. Cytokine profiling and RNA-sequencing data analysis revealed NB cells as the main source of MIF in the BM, suggesting a potential role of MIF in tumor invasion. Exposure of NB cells to BM-conditions increased NB cell-surface expression of the MIF receptor CXCR4, which was associated with increased cell viability, enhanced migration-invasion, and activation of PI3K/AKT and MAPK/ERK signaling pathways. Moreover, subcutaneous co-injection of NB and BM cells enhanced tumor engraftment in mice. MIF inhibition with 4-IPP impaired in vitro NB aggressiveness, and improved drug response while delayed NB growth, improving survival of the NB xenograft model. Conclusions: Our findings suggest that BM infiltration by NB cells may be mediated, in part, by MIF-CXCR4 signaling. We demonstrate the antitumor efficacy of MIF targeting in vitro and in vivo that could represent a novel therapeutic target for patients with disseminated high-risk NB

    The objective of this study was to evaluate the efficiency of two methods for measuring inhibitory activity of native ethanolic extracts plant of the Department of Sucre on bacteria and yeast human pathogenic. Sampling was conducted in the municipalities of Morroa and Sincelejo. The leaves of the plants Melia azederach, Sapium sp, Jatropha gossypilia, Psidium guajava, Origanum vulgare, Melissa officinalis, Eucalyptus sp and Cymbopogon citratus were processed using the methods of percolation and Soxhlet for the extraction of the extract. Methods were tested on agar hole method (Method 1) and the sensitive disk method (method 2) to measure the inhibitory effect on Pseudomonas aeruginosa, Klebsiella oxytoca, Enterococcus faecalis, Escherichia coli, and Bulkolderia glumaea Zygosaccharomyces microellipsoides. The results demonstrate that the method 2 allows greater efficiency and interpretation of results with regard to method 1 where there was diffusion of the extracts in the hole, which creates interference in the measurement. This is the first work in the department of Sucre where two methods are evaluated to determine inhibitory activity of a large group of native plants on pathogenic bacteria and yeast.El objetivo del presente trabajo fue evaluar la eficiencia de dos métodos para medir actividad inhibitoria de extractos vegetales etanólicos nativos del Departamento de Sucre sobre bacterias y levadura patógenas de humanos y plantas.

    Novel synthetic sulfoglycolipid IG20 facilitates exocytosis in chromaffin cells through the regulation of sodium channels

    This is the peer reviewed version of the following article: Novel synthetic sulfoglycolipid IG20 facilitates exocytosis in chromaffin cells through the regulation of sodium channels: Journal of Neurochemistre, 135.5 (2015), which has been published in final form at http://dx.doi.org/10.1111/jnc.13357In searching for druggable synthetic lipids as potential modulators of synaptic transmission and plasticity, we synthesized sulfoglycolipid IG20 that stimulates neuritic outgrowth. Here we have explored its effects on ion channels and exocytosis in bovine chromaffin cells (BCCs). IG20 augmented the rate of basal catecholamine release. Such effect did not depend on Ca2+ mobilization from intracellular stores; rather, IG20-elicited secretion entirely dependent on Ca2+ entry through Lsubtype voltage-activated Ca2+ channels. Those channels were recruited by cell depolarization mediated by IG20 likely through its ability to enhance the recruitment of Na+ channels at more hyperpolarizing potentials. Confocal imaging with fluorescent derivative IG20-NBD revealed its rapid incorporation and confinement into the plasmalemma, supporting the idea that IG20 effects are exerted through a plasmalemmal-delimited mechanism. Thus, synthetic IG20 seems to mimic several physiological effects of endogenous lipids such as regulation of ion channels, Ca2+ signaling, and exocytosis. Therefore, sulfoglycolipid IG20 may become a pharmacological tool to investigate the role of the lipid environment on neuronal excitability, ion channels, neurotransmitter release, synaptic efficacy, and neuronal plasticity. It may also inspire the synthesis of druggable sulfoglycolipids aimed at increasing synaptic plasticity and efficacy in neurodegenerative diseases and traumatic brain – spinal cord injuryThis work was supported by grants from Ministerio de Economía y Competitividad, Spain (MINECO, SAF-2013-44108-P to AGG and LG; and FIS-PI11/01436 to AFM), Fundación Eugenio Rodríguez Pascual (to LG).

    Global patient outcomes after elective surgery: prospective cohort study in 27 low-, middle- and high-income countries.

    Get PDF
    BACKGROUND: As global initiatives increase patient access to surgical treatments, there remains a need to understand the adverse effects of surgery and define appropriate levels of perioperative care. METHODS: We designed a prospective international 7-day cohort study of outcomes following elective adult inpatient surgery in 27 countries. The primary outcome was in-hospital complications. Secondary outcomes were death following a complication (failure to rescue) and death in hospital. Process measures were admission to critical care immediately after surgery or to treat a complication and duration of hospital stay. A single definition of critical care was used for all countries. RESULTS: A total of 474 hospitals in 19 high-, 7 middle- and 1 low-income country were included in the primary analysis. Data included 44 814 patients with a median hospital stay of 4 (range 2-7) days. A total of 7508 patients (16.8%) developed one or more postoperative complication and 207 died (0.5%). The overall mortality among patients who developed complications was 2.8%. Mortality following complications ranged from 2.4% for pulmonary embolism to 43.9% for cardiac arrest. A total of 4360 (9.7%) patients were admitted to a critical care unit as routine immediately after surgery, of whom 2198 (50.4%) developed a complication, with 105 (2.4%) deaths. A total of 1233 patients (16.4%) were admitted to a critical care unit to treat complications, with 119 (9.7%) deaths. Despite lower baseline risk, outcomes were similar in low- and middle-income compared with high-income countries. CONCLUSIONS: Poor patient outcomes are common after inpatient surgery. Global initiatives to increase access to surgical treatments should also address the need for safe perioperative care. STUDY REGISTRATION: ISRCTN5181700
