IL-7 is known foremost for its immunostimulatory capacities, including potent T cell-dependent catabolic effects on bone. In joint diseases like rheumatoid arthritis and osteoarthritis, IL-7, via immune activation, can induce joint destruction. Now it has been demonstrated that increased IL-7 levels are produced by human articular chondrocytes of older individuals and osteoarthritis patients. IL-7 stimulates production of proteases by IL-7 receptor-expressing chondrocytes and enhances cartilage matrix degradation. This indicates that IL-7, indirectly via immune activation, but also by a direct action on cartilage, contributes to joint destruction in rheumatic diseases. 相似文献

Primary hematopoietic cells are relatively refractory to DNA transfection methodologies. This is particularly so when they are quiescent or terminally differentiated and no longer able to divide. However, whole proteins can be introduced into such cells by protein transduction. We have modified the protein transduction domain (PTD) from the HIV-TAT protein used by other investigators. Using green fluorescent protein (GFP) as a reporter, we show that this new sequence allows more efficient transduction of recombinant fusion protein into a variety of hematopoietic cells tested compared with the native HIV TAT domain. This is true for peripheral blood CD34+ cells, dendritic cells, granulocytes, monocytes and lymphocytes all of which are quiescent or terminally differentiated. Furthermore, we were able to transduce myeloblasts from patients with acute myeloid leukemia (AML). In all cell types tested transduction efficiency was almost 100%. Transduction is maximal 15-30 s after addition of PTD or TAT-GFP fusion proteins as tested on quiescent T lymphocytes. This method will allow us to study of the effects of a variety of gene products in cell types that were previously resistant to gene transfection studies. 相似文献

Background
NEP1-like proteins (NLPs) are a novel family of microbial elicitors of plant necrosis. Some NLPs induce a hypersensitive-like response in dicot plants though the basis for this response remains unclear. In addition, the spatial structure and the role of these highly conserved proteins are not known. 相似文献55.

Industrial biotechnology employs the controlled use of microorganisms for the production of synthetic chemicals or simple
biomass that can further be used in a diverse array of applications that span the pharmaceutical, chemical and nutraceutical
industries. Recent advances in metagenomics and in the incorporation of entire biosynthetic pathways into Saccharomyces cerevisiae have greatly expanded both the fitness and the repertoire of biochemicals that can be synthesized from this popular microorganism.
Further, the availability of the S. cerevisiae entire genome sequence allows the application of systems biology approaches for improving its enormous biosynthetic potential.
In this review, we will describe some of the efforts on using S. cerevisiae as a cell factory for the biosynthesis of high-value natural products that belong to the families of isoprenoids, flavonoids
and long chain polyunsaturated fatty acids. As natural products are increasingly becoming the center of attention of the pharmaceutical
and nutraceutical industries, the use of S. cerevisiae for their production is only expected to expand in the future, further allowing the biosynthesis of novel molecular structures
with unique properties. 相似文献
