A Novel Tetanus Neurotoxin-insensitive Vesicle-associated Membrane Protein in SNARE Complexes of the Apical Plasma Membrane of Epithelial Cells

The importance of soluble N-ethyl maleimide (NEM)-sensitive fusion protein (NSF) attachment protein (SNAP) receptors (SNAREs) in synaptic vesicle exocytosis is well established because it has been demonstrated that clostridial neurotoxins (NTs) proteolyze the vesicle SNAREs (v-SNAREs) vesicle-associated membrane protein (VAMP)/brevins and their partners, the target SNAREs (t-SNAREs) syntaxin 1 and SNAP25. Yet, several exocytotic events, including apical exocytosis in epithelial cells, are insensitive to numerous clostridial NTs, suggesting the presence of SNARE-independent mechanisms of exocytosis. In this study we found that syntaxin 3, SNAP23, and a newly identified VAMP/brevin, tetanus neurotoxin (TeNT)-insensitive VAMP (TI-VAMP), are insensitive to clostridial NTs. In epithelial cells, TI-VAMP–containing vesicles were concentrated in the apical domain, and the protein was detected at the apical plasma membrane by immunogold labeling on ultrathin cryosections. Syntaxin 3 and SNAP23 were codistributed at the apical plasma membrane where they formed NEM-dependent SNARE complexes with TI-VAMP and cellubrevin. We suggest that TI-VAMP, SNAP23, and syntaxin 3 can participate in exocytotic processes at the apical plasma membrane of epithelial cells and, more generally, domain-specific exocytosis in clostridial NT-resistant pathways.

按照Ｃ２Ｈ２型锌指基因保守结构域的ＤＮＡ序列设计一对简并引物,以人基因组ＤＮＡ为模板进行ＰＣＲ同源扩增,将由此获得的锌指基因片段为探针,从人胎肾、骨骼肌、骨骼组织的ｃＤＮＡ分子库中筛选到２２个Ｃ２Ｈ２型锌指蛋白ｃＤＮＡ片段,经国际ＮＣＢＩ数据库查询检索,其中１７个为新的锌指基因片段。对从胎肾ｃＤＮＡ分子库中分离到的Ｋ３－４和Ｋ５－１２克隆进行了表达谱分析,发现Ｋ３－４在肾脏中的表达量明显高于其他几     

射线诱导在体造血细胞凋亡的量时效关系的研究

以4—10Gy射线在体损伤的小鼠为模型,应用DNA电泳和流式细胞术等方法证实细胞凋亡是射线损伤在体骨髓造血细胞的途径之一,发现射线诱导的造血细胞凋亡有明显的量效和时效关系。4、6、8和10Gy照射后,细胞凋亡发生率均表现为升高-降低过程,各剂量诱导的凋亡发生率峰值分别出现在照后12、8、4和4h,6和8Gy诱导的凋亡发生率已达最高水平,约为30％,10Gy诱导的凋亡反而要低。上述结果表明,诱导细胞凋亡是射线损伤骨髓造血细胞的一个重要途径,而且凋亡的发生率受照射剂量和照后时间的影响。因此,深入研究射线诱导的细胞凋亡,将有助于揭示射线损伤造血功能的机理。     

Phenotypes and Functions of SARS-CoV-2-Reactive T Cells

Infection with severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) causes coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19), which is an ongoing pandemic disease. SARS-CoV-2-specific CD4⁺ and CD8⁺ T-cell responses have been detected and characterized not only in COVID-19 patients and convalescents, but also unexposed individuals. Here, we review the phenotypes and functions of SARS-CoV-2-specific T cells in COVID-19 patients and the relationships between SARS-CoV-2-specific T-cell responses and COVID-19 severity. In addition, we describe the phenotypes and functions of SARS-CoV-2-specific memory T cells after recovery from COVID-19 and discuss the presence of SARS-CoV-2-reactive T cells in unexposed individuals and SARS-CoV-2-specific T-cell responses elicited by COVID-19 vaccines. A better understanding of T-cell responses is important for effective control of the current COVID-19 pandemic.     

Synthesis of the Cyanine 7 labeled neutrophil-specific agents for noninvasive near infrared fluorescence imaging

A neutrophil-binding peptide, cinnamoyl-F(D)LF(D)LF (cFLFLF), was labeled with the near infrared (NIR) fluorophore, Cyanine 7 (Cy7). This construct was modified with a polyethylene glycol (PEG, M_W 3.4 kDa) moiety in order to increase its solubility and bioavailability to circulating neutrophils. A preliminary noninvasive fluorescence imaging of a mouse model of ear inflammation with the fluorescent probe is presented.
