Disease relevance of Half-Life

  • Using a quantitative micro-culture assay, we demonstrate here that the latent reservoir decays with a mean half-life of 6.3 months in patients who consistently maintain plasma HIV-1 RNA levels of fewer than 50 copies/ml [1].
  • Attempts to use SRIF as an adjunct in the treatment of diabetes mellitus met with limited success due to its short biological half-life and the undesirable diabetogenic activity of its insulin-lowering properties [2].
  • MCR of rhGH was approximately half in patients with chronic renal failure at each GH level and plasma half-life was increased by 25-50% [3].
  • In addition, results from animal studies show that this chimeric Factor IX, when infused into a dog with hemophilia B, exhibits a greater than threefold increase in clotting activity, and has a biological half-life equivalent to recombinant wild-type Factor IX [4].
  • Using the plasma disappearance rate of antipyrine (15 mg per kg of body weight) as an index of liver microsomal metabolism, a significant decrease in the half-life of antipyrine has been observed: 11.7 +/- (1 sd) 4.7 hr before treatment as compared to 6.9 +/- 2.3 hr on the 7th day [5].

High impact information on Half-Life

  • Thus, it is now possible to engineer IgGs with altered affinities for FcRn, and this has relevance to the modulation of IgG serum half-life and maternofetal IgG transport for therapeutic applications [11].
  • Increases in p53 protein levels after DNA damage have largely been attributed to an increase in the half-life of p53 protein [12].
  • Unexpectedly, this effect is attributed to a small but significant inhibition of p21 translation combined with its short half-life [13].
  • To address the biological importance of Hes7 instability, we generated mice expressing mutant Hes7 with a longer half-life (approximately 30 min compared with approximately 22 min for wild-type Hes7) but normal repressor activity [14].
  • During treatment, methanol had an elimination half-life of 54 hours [15].

Associations of Half-Life with chemical compounds

  • In agreement with this model, tubulin message is found to be short-lived and has an approximately 2 hr half-life in cells treated with actinomycin D [31].
  • There was no correlation between any laboratory test of liver function and the plasma theophylline half-life, except for serum albumin (r = 0.92, P less than 0.001) [32].
  • From measurements of the rate of decline in 125I-LDL binding activity after administration of cycloheximide, the LDL receptor was calculated to have a half-life of about 25 hr [33].
  • An inverse correlation was found between plasma half-life of the drug and creatinine clearance (r = 0.68, P less than 0.01) [34].
  • Cimetidine is known to impair the hepatic microsomal oxidation of diazepam, reducing its clearance and prolonging its half-life [35].
 

Gene context of Half-Life

  • Protein synthesis inhibition by cycloheximide (CHX) treatment indicated that the half-life of p21/SDI-1 in dividing HT1 cells was approximately 30 min [36].
  • The half-life of the HIF-1alpha subunit is determined by oxygen-dependent prolyl hydroxylation, which is required for binding of the von Hippel-Lindau protein (VHL), the recognition component of an E3 ubiquitin ligase that targets HIF-1alpha for ubiquitination and degradation [37].
  • IFN-alpha may produce these effects by shortening the half-life of cytokine mRNA, since TNF mRNA half-life in B-CLL and HCL cells is substantially reduced when the cells are cultured with IFN-alpha [38].
  • IL-4 elevated P-selectin mRNA by increasing its transcription rate rather than by prolonging its already long half-life [39].
  • Indeed, the half-life of IL-1ra mRNA was prolonged in PMN stimulated in the presence of IL-10 and LPS, as compared with cells stimulated with LPS alone [40].
