RESUMO

This study aimed to verify, in in vivo settings, whether quorum-sensing inhibition molecules could attenuate alveolar bone loss induced by Porphyromonas gingivalis/Fusobacterium nucleatum co-infection and reduce the bacterial colonization of periodontal tissues. In BALB/c mice, periodontitis was induced through oral inoculation with P. gingivalis and F. nucleatum six times during a 42-d period. Quorum sensing inhibitors (a furanone compound and D-ribose) were administered simultaneously with bacterial infection. Linear and volumetric modifications of interproximal alveolar bone levels were compared between groups using micro-computed tomography. Total bacteria, and P. gingivalis and F. nucleatum DNA in periodontal tissues, were quantified using real-time PCR. Radiographic linear measurements demonstrated a significant reduction of alveolar bone loss, of approximately 40%, in mice treated with quorum sensing inhibitors when compared with the co-infection group. This was confirmed by a significant increase of residual bone volume in the test group. While total bacterial genes in the treatment group significantly decreased by 93% in periodontal tissue samples when quorum sensing inhibitors were administered, no significant differences of P. gingivalis DNA were found. Quorum sensing inhibitors reduced periodontal breakdown and bacterial infection in periodontal tissues after co-infection with P. gingivalis and F. nucleatum.

RESUMO

BACKGROUND: d-Ribose is a popular dietary supplement for humans and the equine because of its crucial role in cellular bioenergetics. However, as a reducing sugar, it has been suggested that ingestion of d-ribose might promote the formation of glycated proteins in vivo with potential adverse consequences. OBJECTIVE: The aim of this study was to examine if d-Ribose would promote the formation of glycated proteins in vivo following exercise in training thoroughbred racehorses. METHODS: Two groups of horses received the supplement (30 and 50 g d-Ribose daily) for 17 weeks, during which period the horses were subjected to low-intensity exercises followed by high-intensity exercises. Blood samples were analyzed for glycated plasma proteins at baseline and following the 2 exercise regimens. RESULTS: This study shows that long-term ingestion of d-Ribose at 30-50 g a day does not promote the formation of glycated plasma proteins in thoroughbred racehorses. Ribose supplementation also protected the horses from cramping while enhancing muscle recovery at the same time. No adverse effects were reported. CONCLUSION: Ribose supplementation is safe and does not cause glycation in vivo. This investigation also establishes safety of d-Ribose in thoroughbred racehorses, suggesting similar implications in humans as well.

RESUMO

OBJECTIVE: To test the hypothesis that heightened advanced glycation endproducts (AGEs) content in cartilage accelerates the progression of spontaneous osteoarthritis (OA) in the Hartley guinea pig (HGP) model. METHODS: Twenty-eight male, 3-month-old HGPs were used. Eight were left untreated as a baseline control group and sacrificed at 3 months of age (n = 4) and 9 months of age (n = 4; age-matched controls). The other 20 HGPs received intra-articular knee injections in the right knee whereas the left knees acted as contra-lateral non-injected controls. Injections consisted of 100 µl phosphate buffered saline (PBS; n = 10) or PBS+2.0 M D-(-)-Ribose (n = 10). Injections were given once weekly for 24 weeks. At the end of the treatment period, the tibiae were fixed with formalin, scanned with microCT for sub-chondral bone mineral density, and then histological slides were prepared, stained with Safranin-O with Fast Green counter stain and scored using the OARSI-HISTOgp scheme. Cartilage pentosidine (established biomarker for AGEs) content, collagen content (% dry mass), glucosaminoglycan GAG-to-collagen ratio (µg/µg), GAG-to-DNA ratio and DNA-to-collagen ratio were measured. RESULTS: Pentosidine content increased greatly due to PBS + Ribose injection (P < 0.0001) and reached levels found in cartilage from 80-year-old humans. Surprisingly, mean OARSI-HISTOgp scores for both the injected and contra-lateral controls in the PBS + Ribose group were not detectably different, nor were they different from the mean score for the age-matched control group. CONCLUSION: AGEs accumulation due to intra-articular ribose-containing injections in the HGP model of spontaneous knee OA did not enhance disease progression.

RESUMO

This study compared a carbohydrate-, protein-, and ribose-containing repletion drink vs. carbohydrates alone during 8 weeks of aerobic training. Thirty-two men (age, mean ± SD = 23 ± 3 years) performed tests for aerobic capacity (V(O2)peak), time to exhaustion (TTE) at 90% V(O2)peak, and percent body fat (%fat), and fat-free mass (FFM). Testing was conducted at pre-training (PRE), mid-training at 3 weeks (MID3), mid-training at 6 weeks (MID6), and post-training (POST). Cycle ergometry training was performed at 70% V(O2)peak for 1 hours per day, 5 days per week for 8 weeks. Participants were assigned to a test drink (TEST; 370 kcal, 76 g carbohydrate, 14 g protein, 2.2 g d-ribose; n = 15) or control drink (CON; 370 kcal, 93 g carbohydrate; n = 17) ingested immediately after training. Body weight (BW; 1.8% decrease CON; 1.3% decrease TEST from PRE to POST), %fat (5.5% decrease CON; 3.9% decrease TEST), and FFM (0.1% decrease CON; 0.6% decrease TEST) decreased (p ≤ 0.05), whereas V(O2)peak (19.1% increase CON; 15.8% increase TEST) and TTE (239.1% increase CON; 377.3% increase TEST) increased (p ≤ 0.05) throughout the 8 weeks of training. Percent decreases in %fat from PRE to MID3 and percent increases in FFM from PRE to MID3 and MID6 were greater (p ≤ 0.05) for TEST than CON. Overall, even though the TEST drink did not augment BW, V(O2)peak, or TTE beyond carbohydrates alone, it did improve body composition (%fat and FFM) within the first 3-6 weeks of supplementation, which may be helpful for practitioners to understand how carbohydrate-protein recovery drinks can and cannot improve performance in their athletes.

RESUMO

Acute disorders of purine metabolism develop in rat testes under conditions of overtraining. These disorders are characterized by enhanced catabolism and reduced reutilization of purine mononucleotides and activation of lipid peroxidation of membrane structures against the background of reduced activities of the pentose cycle and antioxidant system. Administration of D-ribose to rats subjected to overtraining improves purine reutilization, stimulates the pentose cycle work, inhibits lipid peroxidation in membrane structures of the testes, and saves the testicular incretory function.

RESUMO

Biochemical analysis of blood of 30 male rats with 240 +/- 20 g mass and 50 sportsmen at the age 17-20 years were done. They were subjected by intensive physical activity with D-ribose use and without it. Carbohydrate was being put into them before and after intensive physical activity during 5-7 days. The dose was 30-50 mg/kg of their body mass. Concentration of glucose, lactate and uric acids, level of malondialdehyde, activity of superoxide dismutase, glutathione peroxidase and glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase were defined in the male rats and sportsmen blood. It is shown that D-ribose use influences positive by to the dynamics of biochemical data in blood. It has taken place owing to the intensification of reutilization of purine mononucleotides and the activity of pentose cycle, as a result lipid peroxidation of membrane of erythrocytes reduces and state of antioxidation system improves.

RESUMO

Developing strategies to target lncRNAs are needed. In this chapter, we describe in detail a method to deliver antisense oligonucleotides into acute myeloid leukemia cells using lipid nanoparticles tagged with the transferrin receptor. While this chapter is focused on the delivery method, we also discuss important considerations about the design of antisense oligonucleotides (ASOs). The strategy described here has been used successfully to deliver ASOs into leukemic blasts and stem cells.

RESUMO

Colorectal cancer, one of the most commonly diagnosed cancers worldwide, is often accompanied by uncontrolled proliferation of tumor cells. Dyskerin pseudouridine synthase 1 (DKC1), screened using the genome-wide RNAi strategy, is a previously unidentified key regulator that promotes colorectal cancer cell proliferation. Enforced expression of DKC1, but not its catalytically inactive mutant D125A, accelerates cell growth in vitro and in vivo. DKC1 knockdown or its inhibitor pyrazofurin attenuates cell proliferation. Proteomics, RNA immunoprecipitation (RIP)-seq, and RNA decay analyses reveal that DKC1 binds to and stabilizes the mRNA of several ribosomal proteins (RPs), including RPL10A, RPL22L1, RPL34, and RPS3. DKC1 depletion significantly accelerates mRNA decay of these RPs, which mediates the oncogenic function of DKC1. Interestingly, these DKC1-regulated RPs also interact with HRAS and suppress the RAS/RAF/MEK/ERK pathway. Pyrazofurin and trametinib combination synergistically restrains colorectal cancer cell growth in vitro and in vivo. Furthermore, DKC1 is markedly upregulated in colorectal cancer tissues compared to adjacent normal tissues. Colorectal cancer patients with higher DKC1 expression has consistently poorer overall survival and progression-free survival outcomes. Taken together, these data suggest that DKC1 is an essential gene and candidate therapeutic target for colorectal cancer.

RESUMO

OBJECTIVE: Previous investigations suggest that appropriate nutritional interventions may reduce delayed onset muscle soreness (DOMS). This study examined the effect of D-ribose supplementation on DOMS induced by plyometric exercise. METHODS: For the purpose of inducing DOMS, 21 untrained male college students performed a lower-limb plyometric exercise session that involved 7 sets of 20 consecutive frog hops with 90-s of rest between each set. Muscle soreness was measured with a visual analogue scale 1-h before, 24-h after, and 48-h after exercise. Subjects were then randomly placed into the D-ribose group (DRIB, n = 11) and the placebo group (PLAC, n = 10) to assure equivalent BMI and muscle soreness. After a 14-d washout/recovery period, subjects performed the same exercise session, with DRIB ingesting a 200 ml solution containing 15 g D-ribose 1-h before, 1-h, 12-h, 24-h, and 36-h after exercise, and PLAC ingesting a calorically equivalent placebo of the same volume and taste containing sorbitol and ß-cyclodextrin. Muscle soreness and isokinetic muscle strength were measured, and venous blood was assessed for markers of muscle damage and oxidative stress 1-h before, 24-h and 48-h after exercise. RESULTS: In DRIB, muscle soreness after 24-h and 48-h in the second exercise session were significantly lower (p < 0.01) than was experienced in the first exercise session. In the second exercise, blood-related markers of muscle soreness, including creatine kinase, lactate dehydrogenase (LDH), myoglobin and malondialdehyde (MDA) in DRIB after 24-h were lower in DRIB after 24-h than in PLAC (MDA, p < 0.05; rest outcomes, p < 0.01). In addition, LDH and MDA in DRIB were significantly lower (p < 0.01) after 24-h in DRIB than in PLAC. No difference was found in isokinetic muscle strength and oxidative stress markers, including superoxide dismutase and total antioxidant capacity, between DRIB and PLAC after 24-h and 48-h. CONCLUSION: D-ribose supplementation reduces muscle soreness, improves recovery of muscle damage, and inhibits the formation of lipid peroxides. Young adult males performing plyometric exercise are likely to realize a DOMS reduction through consumption of D-ribose in 15 g/doses both before (1-h) and after (1-h, 12-h, 24-h, 36-h) exercise. These results suggest that appropriately timed consumption of D-ribose may induce a similar alleviation of exercise-induced DOMS in the general public.

RESUMO

Ribose-cysteine is a synthetic compound designed to increase glutathione (GSH) synthesis. Low levels of GSH and the GSH-dependent enzyme, glutathione peroxidase (GPx), is associated with cardiovascular disease (CVD) in both mice and humans. Here we investigate the effect of ribose-cysteine on GSH, GPx, oxidised lipids and atherosclerosis development in apolipoprotein E-deficient (apoE-/-) mice. Female 12-week old apoE-/- mice (n = 15) were treated with 4-5 mg/day ribose-cysteine in drinking water for 8 weeks or left untreated. Blood and livers were assessed for GSH, GPx activity and 8-isoprostanes. Plasma alanine transferase (ALT) and lipid levels were measured. Aortae were quantified for atherosclerotic lesion area in the aortic sinus and brachiocephalic arch and 8-isoprostanes measured. Ribose-cysteine treatment significantly reduced ALT levels (p<0.0005) in the apoE-/- mice. Treatment promoted a significant increase in GSH concentrations in the liver (p<0.05) and significantly increased GPx activity in the liver and erythrocytes of apoE-/-mice (p<0.005). The level of 8-isoprostanes were significantly reduced in the livers and arteries of apoE-/- mice (p<0.05 and p<0.0005, respectively). Ribose-cysteine treatment showed a significant decrease in total and low density lipoprotein (LDL) cholesterol (p<0.05) with no effect on other plasma lipids with the LDL reduction likely through upregulation of scavenger receptor-B1 (SR-B1). Ribose-cysteine treatment significantly reduced atherosclerotic lesion area by >50% in both the aortic sinus and brachiocephalic branch (p<0.05). Ribose-cysteine promotes a significant GSH-based antioxidant effect in multiple tissues as well as an LDL-lowering response. These effects are accompanied by a marked reduction in atherosclerosis suggesting that ribose-cysteine might increase protection against CVD.

RESUMO

D-Ribose, a pentose sugar, has shown to improve myocardial high-energy phosphate stores depleted by ischemia. This study investigated the ability of D-Ribose with low dose dobutamine to improve the contractile response of viable myocardium to dobutamine and to assess the efficacy of D-ribose in reducing stress-induced ischemia. Twenty-six patients with ischemic cardiomyopathy completed a two-day, randomized, double blind crossover trial comparing the effects of D-Ribose and placebo on regional wall motion. On the first study day, either D-Ribose or placebo was infused for 4.5 hours. Low (5 and 10 micro/kg/min) and subsequently, high (up to 50 micro/kg/min) dose dobutamine echocardiography was then performed. On the second study day, patients crossed over to the alternative article for a similar 4.5 hours infusion time period and underwent a similar evaluation. The wall motion response during low dose dobutamine was the same with D-Ribose and placebo in 77% of segments (203/263, Kappa = 0.37). In segments with discordant responses, more segments improved with D-Ribose than with placebo (41 vs. 19 segments, p = 0.006). With high dose dobutamine infusion, the wall motion response (ischemia vs. no ischemia) was the same with D-Ribose and placebo in 83% of interpretable segments (301/363, kappa = 0.244). In segments with discordant responses, there were more ischemic segments with placebo compared to D-Ribose (36 vs. 26, p = 0.253). Nineteen patients developed ischemia during the dobutamine and placebo infusion and 13 patients had ischemia during dobutamine and D-ribose infusion (p = 0.109). D-Ribose improved contractile responses to dobutamine in viable myocardium with resting dysfunction but had no significant effect in reducing the frequency of stress-induced wall motion abnormalities.

RESUMO

BACKGROUND: Dermicol-P35 is a collagen gel for soft-tissue cosmetic correction. This study evaluated the affects of Dermicol-P35 in patients who underwent lip enhancement. METHODS: This open, multicenter, retrospective data collection study included patients who received an injection of Dermicol-P35 30G to the lip. All patients who had undergone Dermicol-P35 30G lip injections at 3 cosmetic clinics in Europe were identified and evaluated for inclusion in the study. Assessments were conducted by a clinic investigator immediately after the initial injections and after any touch-up injections as well as 4 months to 10 months after the initial injection. Efficacy measures included subjective impression of improvement by the clinic investigator who performed the injections, and subjective satisfaction of both the investigator and patient with treatment. Safety measures included any adverse events, and the occurrence of swelling, bruising, lumpiness, and pain. RESULTS: Fifty-seven patients were identified to have undergone lip injections, and 51 of these patients met criteria for inclusion in the study. Four months to 10 months postinjection, most patients (98%) were believed to have an improvement in lip enhancement, and the clinic investigators rated themselves as "very satisfied" or "satisfied" with 90% of the treatment results. The majority of patients (94%) were either "very satisfied" or "satisfied" with the Dermicol-P35 30G enhancement. The majority of treatments elicited no reports of swelling, bruising, or lumpiness. CONCLUSION: These study results support Dermicol-P35 30G treatment as a safe and effective treatment for lip enhancement.

RESUMO

The aim of this study is to establish whether a supplement of creatine and ribose combined with a physical exercise program can improve the total work capacity during exercise in a population of patients with known ischemic heart disease. A double-blind, six-month study was designed in which 53 patients were enrolled and randomized to take either a nutraceutical composition containing creatine, D-ribose, vitamin B1, and vitamin B6 (active treatment) or the placebo. Both the nutraceutical supplement and the placebo were supplied by Giellepi S.p.A. Health Science in Lissone, Italy. After six months of study, the cardiac double product at the peak of the load, the delta double product, and the chronotropic index were higher in the active treatment group than in the placebo group. We can conclude that a supplementation with creatine, D-ribose, vitamin B1, and vitamin B6, in addition to standard therapy and a physical exercise program, seems to be helpful in improving exercise tolerance compared to the placebo in a population with cardiovascular disease. However, this needs to be further studied, given that there is no clear evidence that the double product can be used as a surrogate measure of exercise tolerance.

RESUMO

OBJECTIVE: We examined the effects of administering two different candidate antifatigue substances, caffeine and D-ribose, on mental fatigue. METHODS: In a double-blinded, placebo-controlled, three-way crossover design, 17 healthy volunteers were randomized to oral caffeine (200 mg/d), D-ribose (2000 mg/d), or placebo for 8 d. As fatigue-inducing mental tasks, subjects performed a 30-min Uchida-Kraepelin psychodiagnostic test and a 30-min advanced trail-making test on four occasions. RESULTS: During the tasks, the task performance of the caffeine group was better than that of the placebo group. However, after the fatigue-inducing tasks, although subjective perception of fatigue, motivation, or sleepiness was not significantly different, plasma branched-chain amino acid levels in the caffeine group were lower than those of the placebo group. Administration of D-ribose had no effect. CONCLUSION: Because plasma branched-chain amino acid levels are decreased by mental fatigue, these results suggest that administration of caffeine improved task performance through the enhancement of central nervous system activity without increasing the sensation of fatigue. However, further decreases in branched-chain amino acid levels indicate that caffeine might promote deeper fatigue than placebo. Unfortunately, research subsequent to our study design has shown that D-ribose dosing higher than we used is needed to see a clinical effect and therefore no conclusions can be made from this study as to the efficacy of D-ribose.

RESUMO

Recently, aberrantly high levels of D-ribose have been discovered in type II diabetic patients. D-ribose glycates proteins more rapidly than D-glucose, resulting in the production of advanced glycation end products (AGEs). Accumulations of these products can be found in impaired renal function, but the mechanisms are poorly understood. The present study tested whether D-ribose induces renal dysfunction via the RAGE-dependent NF-κB signaling pathway. In vivo, administration of D-ribose was found to lower blood glucose and regulate insulin tolerance. Compared to controls, urine nitrogen and creatinine excretion were increased in mice receiving D-ribose and were accompanied by severe pathological renal damage. Furthermore, immunohistochemistry showed that NF-κB, AGEs, and receptor of AGEs (RAGE) increased in the kidneys of the mice with D-ribose treatment. In vitro, by western blot and immunofluorescent staining, we confirmed that D-ribose induced NF-κB activation and accumulation of AGEs and RAGE in mesangial cells. By co-immunoprecipitation, we found that the pull-down of RAGE remarkably increased the expression of NF-κB. Silencing the RAGE gene blocked the phosphorylation of NF-κB induced by D-ribose. These results strongly suggest that D-ribose induced NF-κB inflammation in a RAGE-dependent manner, which may be a triggering mechanism leading to nephropathy.

RESUMO

INTRODUCTION AND AIM: Wound healing is an orderly complex process involving inflammation, clotting, re-epithelialization, neovascularization and wound closure. In diabetic patients, such process is impaired and delayed, posing negative economic as well as social consequences. Diabetex, (patency# EP 0877617 A1) composed of L-alanine, d-ribose, nicotinic acid and calcium ascorbate, which was initially introduced to treat cancer is thought to have anti- diabetic effects. The present study was designed to investigate the therapeutic merit of diabetex as well as the cellular mechanisms involved in such effects and its safety profile compared to metformin in wounded diabetic rats. MAIN METHODS: Sixty adult male Sprague-Dawley albino rats were randomly divided into two major groups after induction of full thickness wound; control and treated groups. Liver and kidney function test, as well as cytokines (VEGF, TGF-ß, PDGF and MMP2), fasting blood sugar were measured in animal sera. Histopathological studies including hematoxyline and eosin, Masson's trichrome stains were performed on wounded tissue. KEY FINDINGS: Diabetex significantly improved wound healing, collagen formation, induced re-epithelialization and neovascularization. Moreover, cytokines involved in wound healing process were increased by the antidiabetic medication. Noteworthy, the drug exhibited a safe profile on liver and kidney function tests and significantly reduced fasting blood sugar. SIGNIFICANCE: The present study offers a novel approach for treating diabetic resistant wounds with a possible more economic, safe strategy.

RESUMO

The present oral embryotoxicity/teratogenicity study of d-Ribose (DR) was conducted in female rats; 28 rats/group were exposed via the diet to 0, 5, 10, or 20% DR (0.0, 4.25, 7.94, 9.91g/kg body weight/day), from day 0 of gestation until Caesarian section and maternal sacrifice on day 21. All animals survived to the end of the study. Fecundity index, gestation index, pre-implantation loss, post-implantation loss, and sex ratio were all unaffected by treatment with DR. External observations of fetuses and placentas were unremarkable across the study groups. Mean fetal and placental weights, across all viable fetuses, did not differ significantly between treated and control groups. Observations of visceral malformations, anomalies, and variations were unremarkable and did not differ between treated and control groups. In summary, administration of DR to pregnant rats at concentrations up to 20% of the diet resulted in no significant adverse effects on the developing embryo/fetus at doses that were not otherwise a severe metabolic stress on the dam. A No Observed Adverse Effect Level (NOAEL) for teratogenicity could be seen at a concentration of 5% DR in the diet, corresponding to an average daily intake of DR of between 3.64 and 4.61g/kg body weight/day.

RESUMO

This article reviews the current literature regarding the use of ribose as an ergogenic aid. Ribose manufacturers claim that it provides ergogenic benefit, but this has not been substantiated through scientific investigations. Data have shown promise that ribose supplementation leads to enhanced restoration of ATP levels following exercise, but this has seldom translated into increased athletic performance. However, as with many ergogenic aids, additional research is needed to clarify its value as a supplement.

RESUMO

ABSTRACT Introduction: The need for a lactic acid cycle eliminates lactic acid produced during exercise. This process requires energy consumption. D-ribose supplementation can increase muscle cell energy, accelerate the synthesis of PRPP in the heart and skeletal muscle, and eliminate the pentose phosphate pathway in the low limit of glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase activity; it doubles the speed of ATP recovery, so supplementing ribose can improve exercise capacity and accelerate the elimination of lactic acid to improve recovery ability. Objective: Supplementing D-ribose can increase muscle cell energy and accelerate the regeneration of ATP in the myocardium and skeletal muscle. This experiment intends to explore the effects of anaerobic and aerobic exercise and anaerobic exercise capacity and recovery ability after supplementing D-ribose granules by observing the changes in exercise tests before and after nutritional supplementation and recovery indicators after exercise. Methods: The thesis used a paired design to randomly divide 24 male amateur tennis players into two groups (12 in each group): physical training group (control group), physical training + nutrition D-ribose group (test group), and the D- The effect of ribose on the aerobic and anaerobic exercise capacity of amateur tennis players. Results: The observation indexes of the two groups before the test were not statistically significant (P>0.05); after the test for eight weeks, the aerobic capacity indexes of the test group were higher than those of the control group (P<0.05), and also higher than those before the test (P<0.05)); The recovery of 3minHR and 5minHR of the experimental group after exercise was significantly faster than that of the control group (P<0.05). Conclusions: Nutritional D-ribose supplementation can enhance the aerobic training effect of amateur tennis players, improve aerobic and anaerobic exercise capacity, and accelerate heart rate recovery after exercise.
