MytiLec; a novel lectin isolated from the Mediterranean mussel (Mytilus galloprovincialis); shows strong binding affinity to globotriose (Gb3: Galα1-4Galβ1-4Glc). MytiLec revealed β-trefoil folding as also found in the ricin B-subunit type (R-type) lectin family, although the amino acid sequences were quite different. Classification of R-type lectin family members therefore needs to be based on conformation as well as on primary structure. MytiLec specifically killed Burkitt''s lymphoma Ramos cells, which express Gb3. Fluorescein-labeling assay revealed that MytiLec was incorporated inside the cells. MytiLec treatment of Ramos cells resulted in activation of both classical MAPK/ extracellular signal-regulated kinase and extracellular signal-regulated kinase (MEK-ERK) and stress-activated (p38 kinase and JNK) Mitogen-activated protein kinases (MAPK) pathways. In the cells, MytiLec treatment triggered expression of tumor necrosis factor (TNF)-α (a ligand of death receptor-dependent apoptosis) and activation of mitochondria-controlling caspase-9 (initiator caspase) and caspase-3 (activator caspase). Experiments using the specific MEK inhibitor U0126 showed that MytiLec-induced phosphorylation of the MEK-ERK pathway up-regulated expression of the cyclin-dependent kinase inhibitor p21, leading to cell cycle arrest and TNF-α production. Activation of caspase-3 by MytiLec appeared to be regulated by multiple different pathways. Our findings, taken together, indicate that the novel R-type lectin MytiLec initiates programmed cell death of Burkitt’s lymphoma cells through multiple pathways (MAPK cascade, death receptor signaling; caspase activation) based on interaction of the lectin with Gb3-containing glycosphingolipid-enriched microdomains on the cell surface.  相似文献

唐刘秀  许志强  赵沐子  葛家春  潘建林 《中国水产科学》2014,21(2):283-290

采用生物信息学方法对斑点叉尾 (Ictalurus punctatus)ipu-miR-143的靶基因进行预测, 并对预测到的ipu-miR-143靶基因进行生物学鉴定。生物信息学预测结果显示, 斑点叉尾 微管相关蛋白基因RP/EB家族EB1基因的3′-UTR区具有ipu-miR-143的潜在作用位点。结合对几种近缘物种中RP/EB家族EB1基因和miR-143的进化保守性进行分析, 推测ipu-miR-143在斑点叉尾 中可以通过靶向EB1基因的3′-UTR区而发挥其调控功能。因此, 本研究将斑点叉尾 EB1基因的3′-UTR区(含有miR-143靶位点)构建到pMIR-REPORTTM Luciferase载体的下游, 通过双荧光素酶报告基因检测系统对ipu-miR-143的靶基因进行鉴定。采用HEK293和CCK两种细胞进行细胞转染, 两种细胞中转染miR-143 mimics组荧光相对活性与对照组相比均表现为显著性降低(P<0.05)。共转染miR-143 inhibitors后, CCK细胞中荧光素酶相对活性(8.27±1.02)与对照组相比(5.44±1.55)显著上调(P<0.05); HEK293细胞中荧光素酶相对活性(6.30±1.19)与对照组(4.26±0.84)相比有所上升, 但无显著性差异(P>0.05)。初步研究结果提示, miR-143可以通过靶向EB1基因的3′-UTR区而发挥其调控功能。本研究旨为后续深入研究斑点叉尾 EB1基因的转录后调控机制提供基础依据。

史梦婷  付强  孟露萍  史慧君  包海洋  张辉  任艳  陈创夫 《中国畜牧兽医》2014,41(10):123-128

本试验旨在研究miR-193a在致细胞病变型牛病毒性腹泻病毒(cp BVDV)感染MDBK细胞过程中诱导细胞凋亡的分子机制。试验利用TargetScan和Microcosm Targets等生物信息学在线软件预测凋亡相关的miR-193a靶基因Bax,并利用双荧光素酶报告基因系统验证miR-193a的靶基因;用过表达miR-193a的慢病毒pre-miR-193a-lv和抑制miR-193a表达的慢病毒pre-miR-193a-inhibitor-lv分别侵染MDBK细胞,48 h后收集细胞,然后用实时荧光定量PCR、Western blotting和流式细胞仪检测凋亡通路中Bax的表达水平及MDBK细胞凋亡率。结果预测并验证了miR-193a的靶基因为Bax;双荧光素酶报告基因分析结果显示miR-193a能直接结合到Bax 3'UTR区域中的miRNA反应位点,并极显著下调Bax的表达水平(P<0.01);流式细胞仪检测凋亡率结果显示,感染pre-miR-193a-lv慢病毒的MDBK细胞凋亡率极显著升高(P<0.01)。结果表明miR-193a能直接靶向凋亡通路中Bax基因,从而促进凋亡的发生。  相似文献

Production of Transgenic Anliucheng Sweet Orange (Citrus sinensis Osbeck) with Xa21 Gene for Potential Canker Resistance          下载免费PDF全文

LI Ding-li  XIAO Xuan  GUO Wen-wu 《农业科学学报》2014,13(11):2370-2377

Citrus canker, an epidemic quarantine disease caused by Xanthomonas axonopodis pv. citri, has brought a great damage in citrus production worldwide. Herein, a rice PRR (pattern recognition receptor) gene Xa21 together with GUS reporter gene and hygromycin phosphotransferase gene (HPT) was introduced into Anliucheng sweet orange (Citrus sinensis Osbeck) via Agrobacterium-mediated transformation of embryogenic callus. The transgenic calluses were screened on MT basal medium containing hygromycin (HYG) and detected by histochemical GUS staining. The transgenic plantlets were recovered through somatic embryogenesis pathway. The regenerated plantlets were accustomed to and maintained in the greenhouse. The transgene integration of recovered plantlets was identified by PCR and Southern blot hybridization. It showed that all the transgenic plantlets tested had undergone single copy integration, the expression of Xa21 in eight different transgenic lines detected by qRT-PCR can be divided into three grades, high for T5 and T6, middle for T4 and low for the rest. The tolerance to citrus canker disease of the three recovered transgenic lines T2, T4 and T6 was assessed by in vitro pin-puncture inoculation. The results showed that all the three transgenic lines conferred improved resistance to citrus canker bacterium infection and the T4 transgenic line displayed the highest resistance. The mechanism and feasibility of rice Xa21 in triggering innate immunity in citrus was briefly discussed.  相似文献   

Expression level of the cytochrome P450c21 (CYP21) protein correlating to drip loss in pigs          下载免费PDF全文

Aungsuma Kaewkot  Chaiwat Boonkaewwan  Jatuporn Noosud  Autchara Kayan 《Animal Science Journal》2017,88(11):1855-1859

Drip loss is an important meat quality trait of fresh meat affecting economic losses. The cytochrome P450c21 (CYP21) protein has a role on cortisol production and depends on stress. This might affect meat quality. The present study aimed to investigate the expression of CYP21 protein in correlation with drip loss. The samples were taken from the Longissimus dorsi muscle to evaluate drip loss (n = 300). Five muscles per group (low and high drip loss) were selected to evaluate CYP21 protein expression levels. Statistical analysis revealed that CYP21 protein expression levels were significantly difference between the drip loss groups. The high drip loss group had higher CYP21 protein expression levels than the low drip loss group (P < 0.05). Moreover, the high drip loss group had higher optical density values of the CYP21 protein band than the low drip loss group (P < 0.05). In conclusion, the expression of CYP21 protein will provide the basis for information and better understanding of the mechanisms related to drip loss in pork. Further study is warranted to validate these results in other populations.  相似文献
