p300乙酰化在卡介苗感染中的作用

研究p300乙酰化在卡介苗(bacillus Calmette Guérin,BCG)感染中的作用。构建THP-1巨噬细胞模型,比较BCG感染前后p300蛋白表达水平和组蛋白H3乙酰化水平的改变,加入p300特异性抑制剂Delphinidin,观察细胞内组蛋白H3乙酰化水平的变化。结果表明,在分化成熟的THP-1细胞系中,BCG感染能够上调p300蛋白表达水平和组蛋白H3乙酰化水平,加入p300特异性抑制剂Delphinidin后,组蛋白H3乙酰化水平降低。BCG感染通过p300途径导致蛋白质乙酰化水平发生改变。

Malaria Antigens Stimulate Neopterin Secretion by PBMC and U937 Cells

Lysates of Plasmodium falciparum parasitized human erythrocytes stimulate U937 cells to secrete neopterin during a 48 hr co-culture period. Neopterin secretion by U937 cells was enhanced by the addition of human interferon gamma (IFN-γ). Several P. falciparum antigens, ‘FC27’ (a synthetic ‘S’ antigen), Ag16 (a recombinant ‘S’ antigen) and Ag44/RHOP3 (a recombinant merozoite rhoptry protein), also activated U937 cells to neopterin secretion and produced a similar effect on peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMC) from 2 of 3 normal healthy donors cultured with the antigens for 7 days. Plasma from six Nigerian malaria patients contained high neopterin concentrations ranging from 5.06 to 14.17 ng/ml. This preliminary pilot study lends support for further investigation incorporating a larger number of malaria patients and further culture experiments with U937 cells and PBMC with the aim of defining the cause and source of the large quantities of plasma neopterin produced in this infection.     

A Novel Assay System for Anti-Human Immunodeficiency Virus Type 1 (HIV-1) Activity Using a Subclone of a Monocytic Cell Line,U937

A subclonal cl.1–14 cell was established from a monocytic cell line U937 by a limiting dilution method. The anti-HIV-1 activity of some antiviral compounds was evaluated in HIV-1-infected cl.1–14 cells. The results demonstrated that although AZT was a potent inhibitor of HIV-1 replication in cl.1–14 cells, its 50% effective concentration (EC₅₀) values was 80 times higher than that in HIV-1 infected MT-4 cells; the EC₅₀ of AZT was 0.16 μM and 0.002 μM in cl.1–14 and MT-4 cells, respectively. In contrast, the anti-HIV-1 activity of ddA, ddI and ddC in cl.1–14 cells was comparable to that in MT-4 cells. The antiviral activity of nevirapine, dextran sulfate, curdlan sulfate and T22 did not differ significantly between the cl. 1–14 and MT-4 cells. The antiviral activity of several compounds in the HIV-1-infected cl.1–14 cells was similar to that in the HIV-1jr -fl -infected human peripheral macrophages. Our results suggest that cl.1–14 cell cultures are very useful for estimating antiviral activity and more advantageous than the use of peripheral blood macrophages.     

Succinoyl trehalose lipid induced differentiation of human monocytoid leukemic cell line U937 into monocyte-macrophages

A novel type of succinoyl trehalose lipid (STL-1) prepared from n-hexadecane-culture ofRhodococcus erythropolis SD-74 markedly inhibited the growth of a human monocytoid leukemic cell line, U937, and induced its morphological alteration along a monocyte-macrophage lineage. STL-1 markedly increased differentiation-associated characteristics in macrophage, such as nitroblue tetrazolium reducing ability, appearance of Fc receptor, phagocytic activities in U937. Furthermore, U937 cells, which were activated with STL-1 exhibited cytotoxic activity against human lung carcinoma cell line A549. However, STL-1 did not affect growth of a normal human fetal lung cell line TIG-1. The individual components of STL-1, neither sugar moiety nor fatty acids in the free form, were effective at inducing the differentiation of U937 cell. From these results, we concluded that STL-1 has low cytotoxicity against normal human cells and the ester molecule itself is responsible for the activity of inducing differentiation of human monocytoid leukemic cell line U937 into monocyte-macrophage which results in the stimulation of the production of some cytotoxic substances.     

Differential effect of dexamethasone on the regulation of phospholipase A2 and prostanoid synthesis in undifferentiated and phorbolester-differentiated U937 cells

The human undifferentiated histiocytic cell-line U937 can be induced to differentiate by incubation with 12-0-tetradecanoylphorbol-13-acetate (TPA) into macrophage-like cells. Dexamethasone reduced the prostaglandin production in TPA-differentiated U937 cells dose dependently, whereas undifferentiated U937 cells were dexamethasone insensitive. Concomitantly phospholipase A2, the enzyme liberating the prostaglandin precursor arachidonic acid, was inhibited by dexamethasone in TPA-differentiated but not in undifferentiated U937 cells. The activity of lysophosphatide acyltransferase, the key enzyme of fatty acid reacylation into phospholipids, remained unchanged both in undifferentiated and TPA-differentiated U937 cells. The data suggest that responsiveness to glucocorticoid-dependent regulation of prostanoid synthesis is acquired by cells of the monocyte-macrophage lineage late in differentiation.
