7-Oxo-, 7α-hydroxy- and 7β-hydroxysterols from Euphorbia fischeriana

7-Oxo, 7α-hydroxy- and 7β-hydroxysterols (campesterol, stigmasterol and sitosterol derivatives) were isolated from the roots of Euphorbia fischeriana, a drug used for its antitumour properties in traditional Chinese medicine. Some of these steroids show antitumour activity and might be related to the presumed activity of the drug.     

Chromosome 7 short arm deletion, 7p21→pter

Summary A case report of a de novo deletion in the short arm of chromosome 7 is presented (46,XX,del(7)(p21pter)). The five-month-old girl's major symptoms are: trigonocephalus with craniosynostosis, median bony forehead bulge, high palate, atrial septal defect, anal atresia and perineal fistula, thumb insertion far to ulnar-proximal, and a slightly retarded psychomotor development. The other cases with monosomy 7p described in the literature are reviewed.     

TRAF7的研究进展

TRAFs家族是一类多功能蛋白,最初是作为TNFR介导的信号通路中的转导分子而被发现的。TRAFs作为信号接头蛋白和调节分子,参与了TNFR、TLRs、NLRs和RLRs等多种受体介导的信号通路。TRAF7是最新发现的TRAF家族成员,因其保守的RING结构域,而具有E3泛素连接酶活性。此外,TRAF7还以其独特机制参与了MAP激酶、TNFR及TLR2介导的信号通路的转导,以及细胞应激、分化和凋亡等重要生理过程的调控,与乳腺癌、脑膜瘤等多种疾病的发生密切相关。结合最新研究进展对TRAF7的结构、功能及其参与的生物学过程进行综述。

Male-specific transplantation antigen expression by XY teratocarcinomas PCC7 and 7′

Male-specific antigen expression by XY teratocarcinomas PCC7 and 7 is demonstrated first by the rejection of tumors by female but not by male mice following challenge with these cell lines. Male-specific antigen expression is confirmed by an indirect method in which females are immunized against H-Y antigen by male skin grafts. A variant of PCC7 lacking male-specific antigen expression is described. Analysis of the karyotype and of the DNA from this variant indicate that the loss of male-specific antigen expression is a result of the loss of the Y chromosome. The ability to recover variants that have lost expression of male-specific antigen opens the possibility of their selection after mutagenesis.Aspects of this work have been presented at the 10th Cold Spring Harbor Conference on Cell Proliferation, September 1982     

腺病毒7d基因型与7b基因型全基因组比较分析

为了解重庆地区流行的7型腺病毒(Human adenovirus 7,HAdV-7)基因型型别,从全基因组水平探讨HAdV-7b和HAdV-7d可能的致病性差异,收集儿童急性下呼吸道感染患儿的呼吸道分泌物标本分离培养,提取DNA后进行HAdV-7基因型别鉴定、限制性酶切分析和全基因组测序,再利用MEGA6比较分析。本研究在2009年6月~2013年1月间共收集4334份急性下呼吸道感染患儿的鼻咽抽吸物标本,随机选取2411份进行病毒分离培养,共有164份(164/2411,6.8%)鼻咽抽吸物HAdV阳性,其中HAdV-7 87例。限制性酶切分析显示,随机挑选的3株HAdV-7分离株均为HAdV-7d。CQ1198株行全基因组测序并与其他HAdV-7全基因组构建进化树,结果发现16株中国地区的HAdV-7为HAdV-7d基因型,且上述16株HAdV-7与7d2的同源性为99.9%,与7b的同源性为98.2%。相较于ak40株(HAdV-7b),CQ1198共有49处核苷酸替换,其中20处可导致非同义替换;4处核苷酸插入,其中24bp和18bp 2个片段插入分别位于病毒相关RNAⅡ(Virus-associated RNAⅡ,VA RNAⅡ)和L3的pⅥ区域。HAdV-7可有多个基因型致病,且一直处于进化过程中,其主要流行基因型由HAdV-7b变为HAdV-7d。应加强对HAdV分子流行病学监测,明确其进化规律,为HAdV疫苗研发提供分子流行病学依据。     

疱疹病毒UL7基因研究进展

疱疹病毒目(Herpesvirales)由疱疹病毒科(Herpesviridae)、鱼类疱疹病毒科(Alloherpesvi-ridae)和贝类疱疹病毒科(Malacoherpesviridae)组成[1]。该病毒为线性双链DNA且外观近似为球形。其中,疱疹病毒科根据其生物学特性如宿主范围、复制周期长短、感染所致的细胞病理学变化以及     

α4β7研究进展

α４β７是一种整合素分子，主要介导淋巴细胞向粘膜部位的迁移和归巢，同时参与一些炎症反应，并对肠相关淋巴组织（ＧＡＬＴ）的发育，粘膜部位的免疫应答等有重要作用。     

Synthesis of 7β-hydroxy-epiandrosterone

The synthesis of 7β-hydroxy-epiandrosterone (6) possessing strong anti-inflammatory properties was achieved starting from 3β-acetoxy-17,17-(ethylenedioxy)-5-androsten (1). This approach involved as a main step an allylic oxidation of the C-7 followed by two reduction reactions of the double bond and of the carbonyl group. This stereoselective synthesis in 5 steps gave 7β-hydroxy-epiandrosterone in 63% overall yield.

B7家族的新成员

T细胞的活化需要共刺激分子和其受体及特异性抗原与T细胞受体的双信号作用。B7家族成员是重要的共刺激分子,除B7－1和B7－2,新近又发现了一些新成员：B7RP－1（又名B7h,GL50或ICOSL）为鼠ICOS（inducible costimulator,CD28家族的第三位成员）的配体,其人的同源物命名为B7－2（也称为GL50或ICOSL）,它对TG细胞生长及细胞因子产生的共刺激作用已明显,B7－H1（也称PD－1L）,B7H3是一类不与ICOS结合的B7家族新成员。现已证实。现已证实,这些分子与其受体之间的作用在T细胞增殖及发挥效应中扮演重要角色,它们在许多疾病中的作用也引起学者的普遍关注。
