Phosphoramido acid esters (CH(3))(2)NP(O)X(p-OC(6)H(4)-CH(3)) (containing P-Cl (1), P-O (2), P-F (3), P-CN (5), and P-N (4,6) bonds, X for 2, 4 and 6 is OCH(3), (C(2)H(5))(2)N and morpholin) have been synthesized to investigate the structure-activity study of AChE enzyme inhibition, through the parameters logP, delta(31)P and IC(50). After their characterization by (31)P, (31)P{(1)H}, (13)C, (1)H NMR, IR and mass spectroscopy, the parameters logP and delta(31)P ((31)P chemical shift in NMR) were used to evaluated the lipophilicity and electronical properties. The ability of compounds to inhibit human AChE was predicted by PASS software (version 1.193), and experimentally evaluated by a modified Ellman's assay. 相似文献

To date, methods for large-scale transient gene expression (TGE) in cultivated mammalian cells have focused on two transfection vehicles: polyethylenimine (PEI) and calcium phosphate (CaPi). Both have been shown to result in high transfection efficiencies at scales beyond 10 L. Unfortunately, both approaches yield higher levels of recombinant protein (r-protein) in the presence of serum than in its absence. Since serum is a major cost factor and an obstacle to protein purification, our goal was to develop a large-scale TGE process for Chinese hamster ovary (CHO) cells in the absence of serum. CHO-DG44 cells were cultivated and transfected in a chemically defined medium using linear 25 kDa PEI as a transfection vehicle. Parameters that were optimized included the DNA amount, the DNA-to-PEI ratio, the timing and solution conditions for complex formation, the transfection medium, and the cell density at the time of transfection. The highest levels of r-protein expression were observed when cultures at a density of 2.0 x 10(6) cells/ml were transfected with 2.5 microg/ml DNA in RPMI 1640 medium containing 25 mM HEPES at pH 7.1. The transfection complex was formed at a DNA:PEI ratio of 1:2 (w/w) in 150 mM NaCl with a 10-min incubation at room temperature prior to addition to the culture. The procedure was scaled up for a 20-L bioreactor, yielding expression levels of 10 相似文献

Naip5 affects host susceptibility to the intracellular pathogen Legionella pneumophila 总被引:12,自引:0,他引:12

BACKGROUND: Legionella pneumophila is a gram-negative bacterial pathogen that is the cause of Legionnaires' Disease. Legionella produces disease because it can replicate inside a specialized compartment of host macrophages. Macrophages isolated from various inbred mice exhibit large differences in permissiveness for intracellular replication of Legionella. A locus affecting this host-resistance phenotype, Lgn1, has been mapped to chromosome 13, but the responsible gene has not been identified. RESULTS: Here, we report that Naip5 (also known as Birc1e) influences susceptibility to Legionella. Naip5 encodes a protein that is homologous to plant innate immunity (so-called "resistance") proteins and has been implicated in signaling pathways related to apoptosis regulation. Detailed recombination mapping and analysis of expression implicates Naip5 in the Legionella permissiveness differences among mouse strains. A bacterial artificial chromosome (BAC) transgenic line expressing a nonpermissive allele of Naip5 exhibits a reduction in macrophage Legionella permissiveness. In addition, morpholino-based antisense inhibition of Naip5 causes an increase in the Legionella permissiveness of macrophages. CONCLUSIONS: We conclude that polymorphisms in Naip5 are involved in the permissiveness differences of mouse macrophages for intracellular Legionella replication. We speculate that Naip5 is a functional mammalian homolog of plant "resistance" proteins that monitor for, and initiate host response to, the presence of secreted bacterial virulence proteins. 相似文献

The ‘cross‐talk’ between different types of neurotransmitters through second messenger pathways represents a major regulatory mechanism in neuronal function. We investigated the effects of activation of protein kinase C (PKC) on cAMP‐dependent signaling by structurally related human D1‐like dopaminergic receptors. Human embryonic kidney 293 (HEK293) cells expressing D1 or D5 receptors were pretreated with phorbol‐12‐myristate‐13‐acetate (PMA), a potent activator of PKC, followed by analysis of dopamine‐mediated receptor activation using whole cell cAMP assays. Unpredictably, PKC activation had completely opposite effects on D1 and D5 receptor signaling. PMA dramatically augmented agonist‐evoked D1 receptor signaling, whereas constitutive and dopamine‐mediated D5 receptor activation were rapidly blunted. RT–PCR and immunoblotting analyses showed that phorbol ester‐regulated PKC isozymes (conventional: α, βI, βII, γ; novel: δ, ?, η, θ) and protein kinase D (PKCµ) are expressed in HEK293 cells. PMA appears to mediate these contrasting effects through the activation of Ca2+‐independent novel PKC isoforms as revealed by specific inhibitors, bisindolylmaleimide I, Gö6976, and Gö6983. The finding that cross‐talk between PKC and cAMP pathways can produce such opposite outcomes following the activation of structurally similar D1‐like receptor subtypes is novel and further strengthens the view that D1 and D5 receptors serve distinct functions in the mammalian nervous and endocrine systems. 相似文献

Fluorescent pseudomonads that produce antibiotic 2,4-diacetylphloroglocinol (2,4-DAPG) are important group of PGRP that inhibit a broad spectrum of plant pathogenic fungi. Studying on genetic diversity of 2,4-diacetylphloroglucinol-producing fluorescent pseudomonads has been shown with special importance. The first step to investigate the genetic diversity of these bacteria is detecting of the genes required for the biosynthesis of this antibiotic. The objectives of the current study were detection of phlD gene within fluorescent pseudomonads by a PCR-based assay, and comparison of phenotypic and genotypic characteristics of fluorescent pseudomonads with proven biocontrol potential against some soil-borne phytopathogenic fungi. We used a collection of 47 fluorescent Pseudomonas spp. some with known biological control activity against Macrophomina phaseolina, Rhizoctonia solani, Phytophthora nicotianae var. parasitica, Pythium sp. and Fusarium sp. in vitro and the potential to produce known secondary metabolites such as, siderophore, HCN and protease. The results indicated that 66, 40.42, 63.82,48.94 and 27.65% of strains revealed antagonistic activity against R. solani, M. phaseolina, Pythium sp., P. nicotianae and Fusarium sp., respectively. Rhizoctonia solani recognized as the most vulnerable fungus. Among 47 strains, 76.59, 97.87 and 17% of strains produced protease, siderophore and HCN, respectively. We could detect phlD gene in strains P-5, P-32, P-47. Strain CHA0 was used as positive control for the detection this gene. Overall, there was no obvious link between the existence of phlD gene and inhibition of fungal growth or production of the antifungal metabolites in vitro. But in some strains such as CHA0 and P-5, we saw a link between the existence of phlD and antifungal activities. Studying on detection and diversity of phlD provides a fundamental knowledge for developing a rapid genetic screening system to identify a potential biocontrol strains. 相似文献

Herein, we investigate the differential D1 dopaminergic receptor (D1R) regulation by G protein-coupled receptor kinase (GRK) 2 and 3 using two truncated receptors lacking the distal (Δ425) and distal-central (Δ379) cytoplasmic tail (CT) regions. We first show the association between D1R and GRKs in co-transfected cells and rat striatum. Our studies further indicate that deletion of distal CT region of D1R does not alter the association between receptor and GRK2. Meanwhile, removal of both distal and central CT regions culminates in a drastic increase in the basal association between Δ379 and GRK2 relative to D1R and Δ425. Interestingly, CT truncations have no effect on the basal and DA-induced association of receptors with GRK3. Furthermore, we demonstrate that desensitization of D1R is considerably more robust in cells expressing GRK3. Notably, the robust GRK3-induced D1R desensitization is not attenuated by CT deletions. However, GRK2-induced Δ425 desensitization is not detectable whereas we unexpectedly find that Δ379 desensitization is similar to GRK2-induced D1R desensitization. GRK2 and GRK3-dependent desensitization of wild type D1R is not linked to differences in the extent of DA-induced receptor phosphorylation. Moreover, our studies show that GRK2-induced D1R phosphorylation is only modulated by deletion of distal CT region while distal and central CT regions control GRK3-induced D1R phosphorylation. Intriguingly, dopamine-induced Δ379 phosphorylation by GRK3 was significantly lower than receptor phosphorylation in cells harboring Δ379 alone or Δ379 and GRK2. Overall, our study suggests an intricate interplay between CT regions of D1R in differentially regulating receptor responsiveness by GRK2 and GRK3. 相似文献

The current study aimed to investigate if different sources of supplemental zinc (Zn), manganese (Mn), copper (Cu), and selenium
(Se) fed to dry and lactating dairy cows affect reproductive performance, lameness status, and colostrum production. The experiment
was carried out on 60 multiparous non-lactating Holstein cows in a commercial dairy herd. The cows received randomly mineral
mixtures in three treatment groups containing inorganic, 25% organic–75% inorganic, or 50% organic–50% inorganic forms of
Zn, Mn, Cu, and Se starting from approximately 3 weeks prior to calving up to 90 days postpartum. Supplements were included
in rations and fed twice a day. Reproductive parameters including days to first service, days to first estrus, service per
conception, and conception rate were investigated. After parturition, colostrum production, composition, and immunoglobulin
G1 concentration were determined. Lameness, as an indicator of trace minerals deficiency, was evaluated in a five-score scale.
The source of mineral supplement only numerically improved the assessed parameters excluding colostrum fat, protein, and ash
percent. The organic form of supplements did not significantly affect reproductive performance, lameness score, or colostrum
production. 相似文献

Recent interest in the development of drug particle-laden strip-films suggests the need for establishing standard regulatory tests for their dissolution. In this work, we consider the dissolution testing of griseofulvin (GF) particles, a poorly water-soluble compound, incorporated into a strip-film dosage form. The basket apparatus (USP I) and the flow-through cell dissolution apparatus (USP IV) were employed using 0.54% sodium dodecyl sulfate as the dissolution medium as per USP standard. Different rotational speeds and dissolution volumes were tested for the basket method while different cell patterns/strip-film position and dissolution media flow rate were tested using the flow-through cell dissolution method. The USP I was not able to discriminate dissolution of GF particles with respect to particle size. On the other hand, in the USP IV, GF nanoparticles incorporated in strip-films exhibited enhancement in dissolution rates and dissolution extent compared with GF microparticles incorporated in strip-films. Within the range of patterns and flow rates used, the optimal discrimination behavior was obtained when the strip-film was layered between glass beads and a flow rate of 16 ml/min was used. These results demonstrate the superior discriminatory power of the USP IV and suggest that it could be employed as a testing device in the development of strip-films containing drug nanoparticles.Key Words: BCS class II, dissolution, drug nanoparticles, flow-through cell, pharmaceutical strip-films 相似文献
