肿瘤细胞向远处转移受多因素调控, 涉及多个基因, 需要经历一系列连续的、可选择的级联事件。上皮间质转化(Epithelial-mesenchymal transition, EMT)是肿瘤细胞转移中的关键步骤, 但肿瘤发生 EMT的机制至今尚不完全明确。微RNA (MicroRNA, miRNA)是一类内源性、非编码小分子RNA, 可在转录后水平负调控EMT相关基因的表达, 在肿瘤转移中发挥重要作用。文章主要就EMT与肿瘤转移的关系、影响EMT的转录因子, 以及miRNA通过靶向EMT相关的转录因子影响肿瘤转移等方面进行了综述。 相似文献

铁离子是大多数细菌生存所必需的营养物质,但是过多的铁离子通过芬顿反应产生的活性氧(reactive oxygen species, ROS)对细菌造成损伤。因此,细菌必须严格控制体内铁离子浓度。铁摄取调节子(ferric uptake regulator,Fur)是细菌铁离子代谢中最重要的调节子。Fur通过抑制或者激活基因的转录,来调节与铁摄取、利用和储存相关的基因,维持胞内铁离子浓度动态平衡。此外,Fur还参与细菌的氧化应激、抗酸能力、毒力和能量代谢等多种生物过程的调节。本文对Fur参与的生物过程及调节机制进行介绍,以期为进一步研究其他细菌Fur的调节机制,以及Fur在细菌应对环境变化中所起作用提供参考。 相似文献

For more than a quarter of a century, macrophage migration inhibitory factor (MIF) has been a mysterious cytokine. In recent years, MIF has assumed an important role as a pivotal regulator of innate immunity. MIF is an integral component of the host antimicrobial alarm system and stress response that promotes the pro-inflammatory functions of immune cells. A rapidly increasing amount of literature indicates that MIF is implicated in the pathogenesis of sepsis, and inflammatory and autoimmune diseases, suggesting that MIF-directed therapies might offer new treatment opportunities for human diseases in the future. 相似文献

The fine‐tuning of innate immune responses is an important aspect of host defenses against mycobacteria. MicroRNAs (miRNAs), small non‐coding RNAs, play essential roles in regulating multiple biological pathways including innate host defenses against various infections. Accumulating evidence shows that many miRNAs regulate the complex interplay between mycobacterial survival strategies and host innate immune pathways. Recent studies have contributed to understanding the role of miRNAs, the levels of which can be modulated by mycobacterial infection, in tuning host autophagy to control bacterial survival and innate effector function. Despite considerable efforts devoted to miRNA profiling over the past decade, further work is needed to improve the selection of appropriate biomarkers for tuberculosis. Understanding the roles and mechanisms of miRNAs in regulating innate immune signaling and autophagy may provide insights into new therapeutic modalities for host‐directed anti‐mycobacterial therapies. Here, we present a comprehensive review of the recent literature regarding miRNA profiling in tuberculosis and the roles of miRNAs in modulating innate immune responses and autophagy defenses against mycobacterial infections. 相似文献

TREM-1: a new regulator of innate immunity in sepsis syndrome 总被引:11,自引:0,他引:11

Innate immune responses to pathogens are governed by the nervous system. Here, we investigated the molecular mechanism underlying innate immunity in Caenorhabditis elegans against Escherichia coli OP50, a standard laboratory C. elegans food. Longevity was compared in worms fed live or UV‐killed OP50 at low or high density food condition (HDF). Expression of the antimicrobial gene lys‐8 was approximately 5‐fold higher in worms fed live OP50, suggesting activation of innate immunity upon recognition of OP50 metabolites. Lifespan was extended and SOD‐3 mRNA levels were increased in gpa‐9‐overexpressing gpa‐9XS worms under HDF in association with robust induction of insulin/IGF‐1 signaling (IIS). Expression of ins‐7 and daf‐28 that control lys‐8 expression was reduced in gpa‐9XS, indicating that GPA‐9‐mediated immunity is due in part to ins‐7 and daf‐28 downregulation. Our results suggest that OP50 metabolites in amphid neurons elicit innate immunity through the IIS pathway, and identify GPA‐9 as a novel regulator of both the immune system and aging in C. elegans. 相似文献

Epidemiological studies have shown that severe inflammatory responses occur in patients with hyperglycemia. The molecular
nature of these changes is currently under intense investigations. A central role of nuclear receptors PPAR has been shown
in the regulation of metabolic changes associated with hyperglycemia, a selective agonist of nuclear receptor PPARγ rosiglitazone
is used as a hypoglycemic drug. Rosiglitazone is known to have anti-inflammatory effects, but its properties as an anti-inflammatory
drug in hyperglycemic conditions have not been studied. This was an aim of our work. We used a human cell culture model of
hyperglycemia: HeLa cells incubated in the conditions of 25 mM glucose for 3 days. Control cells were incubated with 5 mM
glucose. The cells were stimulated with lipopolysaccharide (LPS) that is known to trigger innate immune response through activation
of Toll-like receptor 4 and influence mRNA expression levels of three of PPAR (α, β/δ, γ) isotypes as well as cyclooxygenase
(COX-1 and COX-2). We have shown that under hyperglycemic conditions expression levels of PPARα and PPARβ/δ decreased almost
twofold, expression level of COX-2 also decreased, while expression levels of COX-1 and PPARγ remained unchanged compared
to those under normal glucose concentration. LPS administration in control cells leads to a 1.5–2.5-fold stimulation of expression
of COX-2 and PPAR isotypes. In contrast, under hyperglycemia, LPS exhibited no effect on expression of COX-2 and the PPAR
isotypes, which indicates potential mechanisms of hyperglycemia-related alterations in innate immunity. Rosiglitazone, an
agonist of PPARγ, decreased expression level of PPARβ/δ and abolished the effect of LPS under hyperglycemia. Rosiglitazone
also reduced expression level of COX-1 and COX-2, which indicates on the agonist possible role as an anti-inflammatory agent
under high glucose concentrations. These data broaden applicability of rosiglitazone as an anti-inflammatory agent in hyperglycemic
conditions. 相似文献

Some familial forms of the dermatological condition vitiligo have recently been linked to polymorphisms in the innate immunity gene, NLRP1. Here, we review what is currently known about the mechanisms that regulate activation of the NLRP1 protein and the downstream effects of NLRP1 on pathways impacting inflammation and apoptosis. How polymorphic variants of the NLRP1 gene contribute to the pathogenesis of vitiligo remains mysterious, requiring further investigation. 相似文献

A novel trypanosome lytic factor (TLF) has been characterized that protects humans from infection by Trypanosoma brucei brucei. The mechanism of trypanolysis is unknown; contrary to one hypothesis, TLF does not kill trypanosomes by generating oxygen radicals. However, these trypanosomes become human-infective when they express a serum-resistance-associated gene. 相似文献
