Microarray-driven gene-expression profiles are generally produced and analyzed for a single specific experimental model. We have assessed an analytical approach that simultaneously evaluates multi-species experimental models within a particular biological condition using orthologous genes as linkers for the various Affymetrix microarray platforms on multi-species models of ventilator-associated lung injury. The results suggest that this approach may be a useful tool in the evaluation of biological processes of interest and selection of process-related candidate genes.  相似文献

Superoxide dismutase (SOD) is known to protect organisms from reactive oxygen metabolites. We tested the hypothesis that the Drosophila Cu,Zn SOD is capable of protecting Escherichia coli from oxidative damage caused by the herbicide paraquat. The Cu,Zn Sod gene of Drosophila sechellia was subcloned into pET-20b(+) expression vector. Transformation of E. coli with the constructed vector resulted in an overexpression of this eukaryotic superoxide dismutase, as evidenced by dramatically increased levels of the Cu,Zn SOD polypeptide in bacterial cytosolic extracts. As well, the E. coli transformants showed resistance to paraquat-mediated inhibition of growth and survival. Paraquat is known to promote formation of the superoxide radical anion inside cells and thus the data have been interpreted as indicating that the cloned superoxide dismutase provides protection in E. coli against damage attributable to free radicals.  相似文献

The pentose phosphate cycle is considered as a major source of NADPH and pentose needed for nucleic acid biosynthesis. 6-Phosphogluconate dehydrogenase (6PGD), an enzyme participating in this cycle, catalyzes the oxidative decarboxylation of 6PGD to ribulose 5-phosphate with the subsequent release of CO(2) and the reduction of NADP. We have determined the genomic sequences of 6PGD of two species of Tephritidae, the medfly Ceratitis capitata and olive fruit fly Bactrocera oleae, and constructed a three-dimensional model of 6PGD of C. capitata based on the homologous known sheep structure. In a comparative study of 6PGD sequences from seven species, all the conserved and variable sites of the enzyme were analyzed and the regions of functional importance were localized, an attempt promoted also by the direct involvement of the enzyme in various human diseases. The enzymes between the two species of Tephritidae have a very high homology and further examination of the variable positions with respect to the highly conserved binding site residues enabled their grouping in three distinct categories, with possible association to dimer formation, functional specificity, and antigenicity. Moreover, placement of sequence differences on the 3-D model suggests probable sites accommodating variations appearing at the allozymic variants of both species.  相似文献

Familial Mediterranean fever (FMF) is an autosomal, recessive disease, attributed to mutations in MEFV gene encoding pyrin, which is characterized by recurrent, acute and self-limiting attacks of fever as well as an increased neutrophil and monocyte apoptosis. Most disease-associated mutations in MEFV gene reside on the C-terminal PRYSPRY (B30.2) domain of pyrin, an area found to interact with the pro-apoptotic protein Siva. Because apoptotic events may be contributing to endogenous inflammation we hypothesized that mutations in pyrin may affect Siva-mediated apoptosis. The confirmation of this hypothesis would be of a great biological significance since it would be demonstrated a connection between apoptosis and inflammation. We used homology modeling to construct a 3-D model of Siva protein and the constructed model of Siva defined structural elements with potential of binding other proteins to induce apoptosis. Given that Siva protein binds pyrin as shown by transfection and immunoprecipitation experiments, apoptosis was assessed by FACS and Western blotting. No differences in rates of apoptosis in myeloid cells (THP-1) upon transfection with either wt pyrin or mutant forms of pyrin were found. Patients with FMF did not display any mutations in the Siva-1 (full length) gene. Siva-1 was not linked to pyrin in the major predicted FMF gene network constructed using a literature-curated gene signature for FMF. These results suggest that Siva-mediated unprovoked apoptosis is not likely to be involved in the pathogenesis of FMF.  相似文献

Background

Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) is characterised by pulmonary and systemic inflammation which flare-up during episodes of acute exacerbation (AECOPD). Given the role of Toll-like receptors (TLRs) in the induction of inflammatory responses we investigated the involvement of TLRs in COPD pathogenesis.

Methods

The expression of TLR-2, TLR-4 and CD14 in monocytes was analyzed by flow cytometry. To study the functional responses of these receptors, monocytes were stimulated with peptidoglycan or lipopolysaccharide and the amounts of TNFα and IL-6 secreted were determined by ELISA.

Results

We found that the expression of TLR-2 was up-regulated in peripheral blood monocytes from COPD patients, either clinically stable or during AECOPD, as compared to never smokers or smokers with normal lung function. Upon stimulation with TLR-2 ligand monocytes from COPD patients secreted increased amounts of cytokines than similarly stimulated monocytes from never smokers and smokers. In contrast, the expressions of TLR-4 and CD14 were not significantly different between groups, and the response to lipopolysaccharide (a TLR-4 ligand) stimulation was not significantly different either. At discharge from hospital TLR-2 expression was down-regulated in peripheral blood monocytes from AECOPD patients. This could be due to the treatment with systemic steroids because, in vitro, steroids down-regulated TLR-2 expression in a dose-dependent manner. Finally, we demonstrated that IL-6, whose plasma levels are elevated in patients, up-regulated in vitro TLR-2 expression in monocytes from never smokers.

Conclusion

Our results reveal abnormalities in TLRs expression in COPD patients and highlight its potential relationship with systemic inflammation in these patients.

The phylogenetic relationships among the Drosophila melanogaster subgroup species were analyzed using approximately 1550-nucleotide-long sequences of the Cu,Zn SOD gene. Phylogenetic analysis was performed using separately the whole region and the intron sequences of the gene. The resulting phylogenetic trees reveal virtually the same topology, separating the species into distinct clusters. The inferred topology generally agrees with previously proposed classifications based on morphological and molecular data. The amino acid sequences of the Cu,Zn SOD of the D. melanogaster subgroup species reveal a high-conservation pattern. Only 3.9% of the total amino acid sites are variable, and none affects the major structural elements. Comparison of the Drosophila Cu,Zn SOD amino acid sequences with the Cu,Zn SOD of Bos taurus and Xenopus laevis (whose three-dimensional structure has been elucidated) reveals conservation of all the protein's functionally important amino acids and no substitutions that dramatically change the charge or the polarity of the amino acids.  相似文献

Recreational big game hunters make a significant contribution to conservation through kills of deer, pigs, chamois and tahr. New opportunities for managing recreational hunting through the proposed Game Animal Council underscore the need to understand the implications of potential changes in recreational hunting participation and harvests. Based on a survey of hunters' recall over a year, hunters averaged 15.63 (SEM = 0.58) big game hunts per year, spending 30.53 (SEM = 0.85) days hunting and killing 8.92 (SEM = 0.69) big game animals. Hunters commonly targeted several species on a single hunt, with highly skewed distributions for hunter effort and kills. Mean monthly expenditure on big game hunting items was $296.78 (SEM = $8.95). Results demonstrate that big game hunting is a significant activity in New Zealand, but this varies considerably among hunters with a small number responsible for the vast majority of kills. These are important considerations for future big game hunting management.  相似文献

Neuropathic pain may arise following peripheral nerve injury though the molecular mechanisms associated with this are unclear. We used proteomic profiling to examine changes in protein expression associated with the formation of hyper-excitable neuromas derived from rodent saphenous nerves. A two-dimensional difference gel electrophoresis (2D-DIGE) profiling strategy was employed to examine protein expression changes between developing neuromas and normal nerves in whole tissue lysates. We found around 200 proteins which displayed a >1.75-fold change in expression between neuroma and normal nerve and identified 55 of these proteins using mass spectrometry. We also used immunoblotting to examine the expression of low-abundance ion channels Nav1.3, Nav1.8 and calcium channel α2δ-1 subunit in this model, since they have previously been implicated in neuronal hyperexcitability associated with neuropathic pain. Finally, S35methionine in vitro labelling of neuroma and control samples was used to demonstrate local protein synthesis of neuron-specific genes. A number of cytoskeletal proteins, enzymes and proteins associated with oxidative stress were up-regulated in neuromas, whilst overall levels of voltage-gated ion channel proteins were unaffected. We conclude that altered mRNA levels reported in the somata of damaged DRG neurons do not necessarily reflect levels of altered proteins in hyper-excitable damaged nerve endings. An altered repertoire of protein expression, local protein synthesis and topological re-arrangements of ion channels may all play important roles in neuroma hyper-excitability.  相似文献
