Knockdown of myostatin gene (MSTN), transforming growth factor-β superfamily, and a negative regulator of the skeletal muscle growth, by RNA interference (RNAi), has been reported to increase muscle mass in mammals. The current study was aimed to cotransfect two anti-MSTN short hairpin RNA (shRNA) constructs in caprine fetal fibroblast cells for transient silencing of MSTN gene. In the present investigation, approximately 89% MSTN silencing was achieved in transiently transfected caprine fetal fibroblast cells by cotransfection of two best out of four anti-MSTN shRNA constructs. Simultaneously, we also monitored the induction of IFN responsive genes (IFN), pro-apoptotic gene (caspase3) and anti-apoptotic gene (MCL-1) due to cotransfection of different anti-MSTN shRNA constructs. We observed induction of 0.66-19.12, 1.04-4.14, 0.50-3.43, and 0.42-1.98 for folds IFN-β, OAS1, caspase3, and MCL-1 genes, respectively (p < 0.05). This RNAi based cotransfection method could provide an alternative strategy of gene knockout and develop stable caprine fetal fibroblast cells. Furthermore, these stable cells can be used as a cell donor for the development of transgenic cloned embryos by somatic cell nuclear transfer (SCNT) technique. 相似文献

A cadmium-resistant bacterium designated as CdSP9 was isolated from the slag disposal site of IISCO, Burnpur, West Bengal, India. The isolate was identified as Ochrobactrum sp. on the basis of 16S rDNA sequence-based molecular phylogenetic approach and phenotypic characteristics. It is a Gram negative, short rod (0.5–1.0 $\upmu$ ), aerobic bacterium, growing well in LB medium between temperatures 10–42°C, pH 6.0–9.0, and between 2 and 6% NaCl. The most preferred nitrogen and carbon sources for the strain are l-proline, l-lysine and fructose, maltose, respectively. Superoxide toxicity minimization by increased level of SOD activity also occurs in this bacterium. The heavy metal accumulation efficiency as determined by atomic absorption spectroscopy was found to be 0.214 mg/g of the dry weight at late log phase. The accumulation efficiency was directly proportional to the optimum growth conditions. 相似文献

The ehrlichiae are small Gram-negative obligate intracellular bacteria in the family Anaplasmataceae. Ehrlichial infection in an accidental host may result in fatal diseases such as human monocytotropic ehrlichiosis, an emerging, tick-borne disease. Although the role of adaptive immune responses in the protection against ehrlichiosis has been well studied, the mechanism by which the innate immune system is activated is not fully understood. Using Ehrlichia muris as a model organism, we show here that MyD88-dependent signaling pathways play a pivotal role in the host defense against ehrlichial infection. Upon E. muris infection, MyD88-deficient mice had significantly impaired clearance of E. muris, as well as decreased inflammation, characterized by reduced splenomegaly and recruitment of macrophages and neutrophils. Furthermore, MyD88-deficient mice produced markedly lower levels of IL-12, which correlated well with an impaired Th1 immune response. In vitro, dendritic cells, but not macrophages, efficiently produced IL-12 upon E. muris infection through a MyD88-dependent mechanism. Therefore, MyD88-dependent signaling is required for controlling ehrlichial infection by playing an essential role in the immediate activation of the innate immune system and inflammatory cytokine production, as well as in the activation of the adaptive immune system at a later stage by providing for optimal Th1 immune responses. 相似文献

Summary Synthesis of 9-(-d-arabinofuranosyl)guanine (ara-G) from 1-(-d-arabinofuranosyl)cytosine (ara-C) and guanine, guanosine or 2-deoxyguanosine (dG) by glutaraldehyde-treated Escherichia coli BM-11 cells is described. It is shown that the concentration of phosphate ions, molar ratio of substrates and pH of the reaction medium are factors affecting product yield. Under optimum conditions ara-G was produced in the reaction mixture in a yield of 63%–65% based on dG as the best source of guanine base. The yield of isolated ara-G was 48%–53%.Offprint requests to: A. I. Zinchenko 相似文献

An improved method to transform nucleosides into 5-monophosphates using nucleoside phosphotransferase from Erwinia herbicola is reported. The method is based on the shift in the equilibrium state of the reaction to the formation of desired product due to its precipitation by Zn2+. Under optimal conditions, the extent of nucleoside transformations into nucleoside-5-monophosphates were 41–91% (mol).Revisions requested 22 September 2004; Revisions received 11 October 2004 相似文献

The failure of chemotherapeutic drugs in treatment of various cancers is attributed to the acquisition of drug resistance. However, the migration mechanisms of drug-resistant cancer cells remain incompletely understood. Here we address this question from a biophysical perspective by mapping the phenotypic alterations in ovarian cancer cells (OCCs) resistant to cisplatin and paclitaxel. We show that cisplatin-resistant (CisR), paclitaxel-resistant (PacR) and dual drug-resistant (i.e., resistant to both drugs) OCCs are more contractile and softer than drug-sensitive cells. Protease inhibition suppresses invasion of CisR cells but not of PacR cells, indicative of a protease-dependent mode of migration in CisR cells and a protease-independent mode of migration in PacR. Despite these differences, actomyosin contractility, mediated by the RhoA-ROCK2-Myosin II signaling pathway, regulates both modes of migration. Confined migration experiments establish the role of myosin IIA and IIB in mediating nuclear translocation and regulation of proteolytic activity. Collectively, our results highlight the importance of myosin II as a potential therapeutic target for treatment of drug-resistant ovarian cancer cells. 相似文献

Abstract Treatment of O2, 3′-anhydro-5′-O-trityl derivatives of thymidine (1) and 2′-deoxyuridine (2) with lithium azide in dimethylformamide at 150 °C resulted in the formation of the corresponding isomeric 3′-azido-2′, 3′-dideoxy-5′-O-trityl-β-D-ribofuranosyl N1- (the major products) and N3-nucleosides (3/4 and 5/6). 3′-Amino-2′, 3′-dideoxy-β-D-ribofuranosides of thymidine [Thd(3′NH2)], uridine [dUrd(3′NH2)], and cytidine [dCyd(3′NH2)] were synthesized from the corresponding 3′-azido derivatives. The Thd(3′NH2) and dUrd(3′NH2) were used as donors of carbohydrate moiety in the reaction of enzymatic transglycosylation of adenine and guanine to afford dAdo(3′NH2) and dGuo(3′NH2). The substrate activity of dN(3′NH2) vs. nucleoside phosphotransferase of the whole cells of Erwinia herbicola was studied. 相似文献

Substrate specificity of uridine and purine nucleoside phosphorylases of the whole cells of Escherichia coli BM-11 has been studied. Both enzymes reveal similar requirements to the structure and stereochemistry of uracil nucleosides and of the pentofuranose-1-phosphates, respectively, viz, a) modifications at C-3' decreased the substrate activity to a greater extent as compared with the same modifications at C-2'; b) substitution of a methyl group for one of the 5'-CH2 protons does not lead to essential alterations of the substrate activity of such analogs vs. the natural substrates - uridine and ribofuranose-1-phosphate, respectively. PNP exhibits a very broad specificity for the purine acceptor. 相似文献
