白介素-1 β通过JNK/p38信号-转导通路调控肾系膜细胞表达α-平滑肌肌动蛋白

为探讨细胞内丝裂素原活化蛋白激酶（MAPK）家族各亚类信号转导通路在炎症性细胞因子白介素－1β（IL－1β）对大鼠肾系膜细胞（rMC)表型标志物α-平滑肌肌动蛋白（α－SMA）表达及其分布中的调控作用,以IL－1β（10ng/ml)刺激体外培养的rMC,用电穿孔基因转染及免疫杂交法观察IL－1β对α－SMA基因启动子活性及蛋白表达的作用,并用共聚焦荧光显微镜及透射电镜观察IL－1β刺激前后细胞内α-SMA及微丝的分布变化。通过应用PD98059和SB203580特异阻断ERK和p38通路、共转染显性失活JNKK基因特异阻断JNK通路,观察阻断对IL－1β刺激所致α-SMA表达或启动子活性的影响。结果显示,IL－1β刺激6h可明显上调α－SMA启动子活性,在1－2d内显著促进其蛋白合成;IL－1β刺激24h后,细胞内α-SMA及微丝在细胞核周的分布增加。阻断ERK通路对IL－1β诱导的α-SMA表达无明显影响;阻断JNK及p38通路均可使IL－1β诱导的α－SMA表达明显受抑;阻断p38通路的作用比阻断JNK通路更强,而且对基础状态的α-SMA表达也有抑制作用。上述结果提示,IL－1β可刺激rMC发生表型转化,其表型标志物α－SMA可通过基因转录增强而增加蛋白表达,在细胞内的分布向核周转位积聚。JNK及p38通路是介导IL－1β刺激rMC α-SMA表达的主要信号转导途径,而ERK通路不影响IL－1β的这一作用。

Acid phosphatase polymorphism in some endogamous populations of Andhra Pradesh

The distribution of acid phosphatase (ACP) phenotypes in six endogamous Brahmin sub-sects and in the Vysya, Mala and Madiga castes of Andhra Pradesh, India, were investigated. The ACP A gene frequency ranged from 0.167 to 0.254. The ACP C allele was observed in three Brahmin sub-sects.     

Genetic structure of a Sakha population from Siberia and ethnic affinities

The red cell enzymes ACP1, ESD, GLO1, PGM1 and RDS and the serum proteins GC, HP, PI, and TF were determined for samples of 150 and 144 Sakha, respectively. The Sakha, a Turkic-speaking population, inhabit the Sakha-Yakutia Republic in northeastern Siberia. High gene frequencies were found for ACP1*A, GLO1*1 and GC*1F, whereas no P1*S or P1*Z alleles were found. In addition, 1 heterozygous phenotype with ACP1*C and 2 heterozygous phenotypes with ESD*7 were found. The genetic distance measures show close affinities of the Sakha population to Buryats (especially Western Buryats), Mongols, and Evenks, whereas the genetic distance to Turkic-speaking Altay and Tuvan populations is great.     

Genetic markers and insulin-dependent diabetes mellitus (IDDM) in Sardinia.

The distributions of some genetic markers in 106 Sardinian individuals with insulin-dependent diabetes mellitus (IDDM) and in a control sample of 186 nondiabetic Sardinians were studied. A strong association of IDDM with some phenotypes of ACP, PGM1, C3 and GC genetic markers was found. In the IDDM patients there is a significant increase of ACP B, ACP B-C, PGM1 1S-1F and GC 1S-2 phenotypes. Particularly the individuals with the ACP B, PGM1 1S-1F and GC 1S-2 phenotypes show the highest values of the relative risk (RR) and the attributable risk (AR) and seem to be more susceptible to IDDM disease.     

Genetic polymorphisms in juvenile-onset diabetes

Differences between diabetic patients and controls were observed in the distribution of phenotypes of the red cell acid phosphatase (ACP1), and the ABO and MN blood groups.     

Association between ACP(1) genetic polymorphism and favism

An association between favism (a hemolytic reaction to consumption of fava beans), glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase deficiency (G6PD(-)) and acid phosphatase locus 1 (ACP(1)) phenotypes has been reported; the frequency of carriers of the p(a) and p(c) ACP(1) alleles was found to be significantly higher in G6PD(-) individuals showing favism than in the general population. Here, we investigated the hypothesis that favism is caused by toxic Vicia faba substances, which in some ACP(1) phenotypes cause increased phosphorylation and consequently increased glycolysis, with strong reduction in reduced glutathione production, resulting in hemolysis. It has been demonstrated that ACP(1) f isoforms have physiological functions different from those of s isoforms and are responsible for most of the phosphatase activity, in addition to being less stable in the presence of oxidizing molecules. Thus, the C, CA and A phenotypes, characterized by lower concentrations of f isoforms, could be more susceptible to damage by oxidative events compared to the other phenotypes. To test this hypothesis, the (f+s) enzymatic activity of different ACP(1) phenotypes with and without added V. faba extract was analyzed. Enzymatic activities of ACP(1) A, -CA, -C groups (low activity) and -B, -BA, -CB groups (high activity) were significantly different after addition of V. faba extract. Phenotypes A, CA and C had extremely low enzymatic activity levels, which would lead to low levels of reduced glutathione and bring about erythrocyte lysis.     

ACP5 (Uteroferrin): phylogeny of an ancient and conserved gene expressed in the endometrium of mammals

Type 5 acid phosphatase (ACP5; also known as tartrate-resistant acid phosphatase or uteroferrin) is a metalloprotein secreted by the endometrial glandular epithelium of pigs, mares, sheep, and water buffalo. In this paper, we describe the phylogenetic distribution of endometrial expression of ACP5 and demonstrate that endometrial expression arose early in evolution (i.e., before divergence of prototherian and therian mammals ~166 million years ago). To determine expression of ACP5 in the pregnant endometrium, RNA was isolated from rhesus, mouse, rat, dog, sheep, cow, horse, armadillo, opossum, and duck-billed platypus. Results from RT-PCR and RNA-Seq experiments confirmed that ACP5 is expressed in all species examined. ACP5 was also demonstrated immunochemically in endometrium of rhesus, marmoset, sheep, cow, goat, and opossum. Alignment of inferred amino acid sequences shows a high conservation of ACP5 throughout speciation, with species-specific differences most extensive in the N-terminal and C-terminal regions of the protein. Analysis by Selecton indicated that most of the sites in ACP5 are undergoing purifying selection, and no sites undergoing positive selection were found. In conclusion, endometrial expression of ACP5 is a common feature in all orders of mammals and has been subjected to purifying selection. Expression of ACP5 in the uterus predates the divergence of therians and prototherians. ACP5 is an evolutionary conserved gene that likely exerts a common function important for pregnancy in mammals using a wide range of reproductive strategies.     

Effect of ACP1*C on early life viability

Associations with past malarial morbidity, season of conception, and common diseases such as obesity, type 2 diabetes, and allergy argue against neutrality of the ACP1 genetic polymorphism. Comparison of ACP1 distribution in mothers and their newborns and analysis of the joint wife-husband ACP1 phenotype distribution in couples with repeated spontaneous abortion suggest a negative effect of the ACP1*C allele on early life viability. Analysis of the polymorphism of the ACP1 gene suggests that, unlike the ACP1*A and ACP1*B alleles, the ACP1*C allele is independent of sequences in the 5' flanking region, resulting in an inverted F/S isoform ratio.     

Genetic mapping of genes regulating synthesis of acid phosphatases in the yeast Saccharomyces cerevisiae of the Peterhoff yeast collection

Genetic mapping of yeast genes ACP5, acp83 and ACP82 was performed. According to the results obtained, ACP5 and acp83 are located in the chromosome VI and ACP82--in the chromosome XVI. Based on identity of chromosome location and phenotypes of mutations arising, it was proposed that ACP5 and acp83 are homologous to PHO4 and pho82 genes, respectively, and ACP82--to PHO85 in the yeasts of the same line.
