question:
Context: The observation of intact non-covalent complexes by electrospray ionization mass spectrometry (ESI-MS) hinges on the ability to minimize in-source activation processes that take place during analyte desolvation. We explored the merits of replacing the sampling cone of a standard Z-spray source with a heated capillary that makes the desolvation process slower and more gradual. We employed well-characterized protein-RNA, RNA-RNA, and DNA-DNA assemblies to compare the alternative configurations.', 'Mass analysis evaluated the integrity of the complexes, whereas traveling wave ion mobility experiments assessed the stability of biomolecular structure. Analyses were performed back-to-back on the same samples on a Synapt G2 HDMS equipped with either the standard sampling cone or the heated-capillary apparatus. In each configuration, the source/capillary temperature was varied in controlled fashion, while keeping all other desolvation parameters constant to monitor the in-source dissociation of selected DNA duplexes. Ion mobility data were obtained from the same precursor by using the alternative configurations under the same settings.', 'Monitoring the percentage of associated complex demonstrated that the heated capillary provided softer desolvation that was more conducive to the detection of intact non-covalent interactions. This configuration failed to produce complete dissociation of 14\u2009bp and 24\u2009bp duplexes, even when the source/capillary temperature was increased well above their solution melting points. Analyzed by IMS-MS, a selected construct displayed just one conformation with the heated capillary, but two with the standard sampling cone.\Question: Does a simple heated-capillary modification improve the analysis of non-covalent complexes by Z-spray electrospray ionization?
answer:
The heated capillary minimizes in-source activation processes that can lead to unintended dissociation of complexes and perturbation of biomolecular structure, which rely on the integrity of non-covalent interactions. This effect can be attributed to the attenuation of the supersonic expansion typical of the Z-spray geometry and the greater ability to control the energy imparted to the system. This hardware modification will be expected to benefit the analysis of biomolecular structure performed on this particular instrumental platform.


question:
Context: Prenatal maternal lipopolysaccharide (LPS) exposure leads to behavioral deficits such as depression, anxiety, and schizophrenia in the adult lives. LPS-exposure resulted in the production of cytokines and oxidative damage. On the contrary, astaxanthin is a carotenoid compound, showed neuroprotective properties via its antioxidant capacity. This study examines the effect of astaxanthin on the prenatal maternal LPS-induced postnatal behavioral deficit in mice.', 'We found that prenatal LPS-exposed mice showed extensive immobile phase in the tail suspension test, higher frequent head dipping in the hole-board test and greater hypolocomotion in the open field test. All these values were statistically significant (p\xa0<\xa00.05). In addition, a marked elevation of the level of lipid peroxidation, advanced protein oxidation product, nitric oxide, while a pronounced depletion of antioxidant enzymes (superoxide dismutase, catalase and glutathione) were observed in the adult offspring mice that were prenatally exposed to LPS. To the contrary, 6-weeks long treatment with astaxanthin significantly improved all behavioral deficits (p\xa0<\xa00.05) and diminished prenatal LPS-induced oxidative stress markers in the brain and liver.\Question: Does astaxanthin ameliorate prenatal LPS-exposed behavioral deficits and oxidative stress in adult offspring?
answer:
Taken together, these results suggest that prenatal maternal LPS-exposure leads to behavioral deficits in the adults, while astaxanthin ameliorates the behavioral deficits presumably via its antioxidant property.


question:
Context: To examine the hypothesis that induction of heat shock proteins in human endothelial cells (ECs) by either heat shock or sodium arsenite could prevent subsequent EC necrosis induced by activated human polymorphonuclear neutrophil leukocytes (PMNs).', 'Cultures of ECs were exposed to heat shock (42 degrees C, 30 to 60 minutes) or sodium arsenite (40 to 320 mumol/L) for 6 hours to induce the expression of a heat shock protein of 72-kd molecular weight (HSP-72). Activated PMNs were subsequently added to these ECs for 24 hours to evaluate the ability of HSP-72 to prevent activated PMN-mediated EC necrosis.', 'Neither EC necrosis nor apoptosis was induced by heat shock. Sodium arsenite (40 to 80 mumol/L) did not induce EC necrosis, although 320-mumol/L sodium arsenite caused a significant increase in EC necrosis. Sodium arsenite (80 to 320 mumol/L) also induced dose-dependent EC apoptosis. Endothelial cells exposed to heat shock and sodium arsenite (40 and 80 mumol/L) significantly attenuated subsequent EC necrosis induced by activated PMNs. However, sodium arsenite at 320 mumol/L aggravated activated PMN-mediated EC necrosis. Expression of HSP-72 was detected after ECs were treated both with heat shock and sodium arsenite (40 to 320 mumol/L) for 6 hours.\Question: Does induction of heat shock protein 72 prevent neutrophil-mediated human endothelial cell necrosis?
answer:

Induction of HSP-72 in ECs by a thermal or nonthermal mechanism could prevent activated PMN-mediated EC necrosis, which may favor increased vascular permeability during systemic inflammatory response syndrome.
