Immunodeficient mouse–human chimeras provide a powerful approach to study host specific pathogens like Plasmodium (P.) falciparum that causes human malaria. Existing mouse models of P. falciparum infection require repeated injections of human red blood cells (RBCs). In addition, clodronate lipsomes and anti-neutrophil antibodies are injected to suppress the clearance of human RBCs by the residual immune system of the immunodeficient mice. Engraftment of NOD-scid Il2rg-/- mice with human hematopoietic stem cells leads to reconstitution of human immune cells. Although human B cell reconstitution is robust and T cell reconstitution is reasonable in the recipient mice, human RBC reconstitution is generally poor or undetectable. The poor reconstitution is mainly the result of a deficiency of appropriate human cytokines that are necessary for the development and maintenance of these cell lineages. Delivery of plasmid DNA encoding human erythropoietin and interleukin-3 into humanized mice by hydrodynamic tail-vein injection resulted in significantly enhanced reconstitution of erythrocytes. With this improved humanized mouse, here we show that P. falciparum infects de novo generated human RBCs, develops into schizonts and causes successive reinvasion. We also show that different parasite strains exhibit variation in their ability to infect these humanized mice. Parasites could be detected by nested PCR in the blood samples of humanized mice infected with P. falciparum K1 and HB3 strains for 3 cycles, whereas in other strains such as 3D7, DD2, 7G8, FCR3 and W2mef parasites could only be detected for 1 cycle. In vivo adaptation of K1 strain further improves the infection efficiency and parasites can be detected by microscopy for 3 cycles. The parasitemia ranges between 0.13 and 0.25% at the first cycle of infection, falls between 0.08 and 0.15% at the second cycle, and drops to barely detectable levels at the third cycle of infection. Compared to existing mouse models, our model generates human RBCs de novo and does not require the treatment of mice with immunomodulators.  相似文献

The human Na(+)-dependent neutral amino acid transporter type 2 (hASCT2/SLC1A5) plays an important role in the transport of neutral amino acids in epithelial cells. The serine and threonine kinases SGK1-3 and protein kinase B have been implicated in the regulation of several members of the SLC1 transporter family by enhancing their plasma membrane abundance. The present study explored whether those kinases modulate hASCT2. In Xenopus oocytes heterologously expressing hASCT2, coexpression of constitutively active (S422D)SGK1, (S419D)SGK3 or (T308DS473D)PKB upregulated the transporter activity. The stimulation requires the catalytical activity of the kinases since the inactive mutants (K127N)SGK1, (K191N)SGK3, and (T308AS473A)PKB failed to modulate the transporter. According to kinetic analysis and chemiluminescence assays, SGK1 and SGK3 modulate hASCT2 by enhancing the transporter abundance in the plasma membrane. As SGK1, 3 and PKB are activated by insulin and IGF1, the described mechanisms presumably participate in the hormonal stimulation of cellular amino acid uptake.  相似文献

The liver is the first organ infected by Plasmodium sporozoites during malaria infection. In the infected hepatocytes, sporozoites undergo a complex developmental program to eventually generate hepatic merozoites that are released into the bloodstream in membrane-bound vesicles termed merosomes. Parasites blocked at an early developmental stage inside hepatocytes elicit a protective host immune response, making them attractive targets in the effort to develop a pre-erythrocytic stage vaccine. Here, we generated parasites blocked at a late developmental stage inside hepatocytes by conditionally disrupting the Plasmodium berghei cGMP-dependent protein kinase in sporozoites. Mutant sporozoites are able to invade hepatocytes and undergo intracellular development. However, they remain blocked as late liver stages that do not release merosomes into the medium. These late arrested liver stages induce protection in immunized animals. This suggests that, similar to the well studied early liver stages, late stage liver stages too can confer protection from sporozoite challenge.  相似文献

Mutations in the human ClC-2 Cl(-) channel have been described to influence its function dramatically. To test for naturally occurring gene variants in a human population and their functionality, all 24 CLCN2 exons from a Central African population were sequenced. Six single amino acid exchanges in the intracellular N-terminus (P48R, R68H), in the pore domain (G199A), or in the intracellular C-terminus (R646Q, R725W, R747H) were identified at low frequency. Heterologous expression of these polymorphisms in Xenopus laevis oocytes demonstrated their functional significance as determined by two-electrode voltage-clamp. The polymorphisms R68H, R725W, and R747H exhibited faster voltage-stimulated gating as compared to the wild type channel, resulting in higher steady state currents of R725W. Probably due to decreased surface expression P48R, R68H, and R646Q mutants generated lower currents than the wild type channels. The inward currents of the mutated channels R725W, R747H, and G199A failed to increase during hypotonic swelling, a defect paralleled by impaired swelling-accelerated voltage-gating in one mutant (G199A). In conclusion, the Africans' gene pool comprises CLCN2 gene variants in the N-terminus, the C-terminus or the pore domain that affect surface expression and voltage- or cell-swelling-stimulated channel gating.  相似文献

The effect of tourism on the distribution of larval blackflies during three different seasons of Palni hills was investigated.Six streams were selected(Kumbakkarai,Moolayar,Kurusedi,Silver cascade Pampar and Guntar) for this study,of which,three streams(Silver cascade Pampar and Guntar) were in peak of Palni hills(Kodaikanal town areas) and easy access to the tourists.The remaining three streams(Kumbakkarai,Moolayar and Kurusedi) were in downhill areas.The physico-chemical and stream parameters analyses indicated that the most tourist accessible site of Silver cas-cade stream had poor water quality and the predominant of larval blackfly population when compared to other sampling streams.The highest population of larval blackflies was observed during winter followed by summer and northeast monsoon.Since the effect of tourism causes pollution to streams,which in turn to promote the population of blackfly larvae and affect the other insect community in streams.    相似文献

Podophyllum hexandrum Royle known as Indian mayapple is an important medicinal plant found only in higher altitudes (2,700 to 4,200 m) of the Himalayas. The highly valued anticancer drug Podophyllotoxin is obtained from the roots of this plant. Due to over exploitation, this endemic plant species is on the verge of extinction. In vitro culture for efficient regeneration and the production of podophyllotoxin is an important research priority for this plant. Hence, in the present study, an efficient plant regeneration system for mass multiplication through somatic embryogenesis was developed. We have screened P. hexandrum seeds collected from three different regions in the Himalayas to find their regenerative potentials. These variants showed variation in germination percentage as well as somatic embryogenic frequency. The seeds collected from the Milam area of Pithoragarh district showed better germination response (99.3 %) on Murashige and Skoog (MS) medium fortified with Gibberellic acid (GA3 [5 mg/l]) and higher direct somatic embryogenic frequency (89.6 %). Maximum production of embryogenic callus (1.2 g fresh weight [FW]) was obtained when cotyledons containing the direct somatic embryo clusters were cultured in MS medium supplemented with 2,4-dichlorophenoxyacetic acid (2,4-D [1.5 mg/l]) after 4 week of culture in complete darkness. In the present investigation, somatic embryogenesis was accomplished either by direct organogenesis or callus mediated pathways. The latter method resulted in a higher frequency of somatic embryo induction in hormone-free MS medium yielding 47.7 embryos/50 mg of embryogenic callus and subsequent germination in MS medium supplemented with GA3 (5 mg/l). Seventy-nine percent of embryos attained complete maturity and germinated into normal plants with well-developed roots. Systematic histological analysis revealed the origin of somatic embryo and their ontogenesis. The higher level of podophyllotoxin (1.8 mg/g dry weight [DW]) was recorded in germinated somatic embryos when compared to field grown plants. The present system can be widely used for mass propagation, transgenic recovery, and podophyllotoxin production for commercial utilization.  相似文献

The diet and feeding ecology of 12 cyprinid fishes were studied in the Thalayanai stream of southern India. The diet of Barbodes sarana, Danio aequipinnatus and Rasbora daniconius were specialized in terrestrial and aquatic insects. Hypselobarbus dobsoni and Garra mullya consumed vegetative matter and unicellular algae as their most important dietary component, respectively. Hypselobarbus curmuca and Hypselobarbus dubius specialized in crustaceans and molluscs. Puntius amphibious, Puntius bimaculatus, Puntius dorsalis, Puntius filamentosus and Puntius tambraparniei fed on variety of food resources (aquatic insects, algae and detritus) and their feeding intake varied between wet to dry seasons. Levin’s index of diet breadth showed the broadest diets for P. dorsalis in both seasons, whereas G. mullya had a narrow feeding spectrum in both seasons. Among co-existing species, diet overlaps were substantially low during both wet and dry season. These results suggest that feeding specialization and low diet overlap reduce inter-specific competition, allowing co-existence of these cyprinid fishes in this highly structured stream assemblage.  相似文献

An efficient Agrobacterium-mediated genetic transformation method has been developed for the medicinal plant Podophyllum hexandrum Royle, an important source of the anticancer agent podophyllotoxin. Highly proliferating embryogenic cells were infected with Agrobacterium tumefaciens harbouring pCAMBIA 2301, which contains npt II and gusA as selection marker and reporter genes, respectively. The transformed somatic embryos and plantlets were selected on Murashige and Skoog (MS) basal medium containing kanamycin and germination medium, respectively. GUS histochemical analysis, polymerase chain reaction and Southern blot hybridisation confirmed that gusA was successfully integrated and expressed in the P. hexandrum genome. Compared with cefotaxime, 200 mg l?1 timentin completely arrested Agrobacterium growth and favoured somatic embryo development from embryogenic cells. Among the different Agrobacterium strains, acetosyringone concentrations and co-cultivation durations tested, embryogenic callus infected with A. tumefaciens EHA 105 and co-cultivated for 3 days on MS basal medium containing 100 μM acetosyringone proved to be optimal and produced a transformation efficiency of 29.64 % with respect to germinated GUS-positive plantlets. The Agrobacterium-mediated genetic transformation method developed in the present study facilitates the transference of desirable genes into P. hexandrum to improve the podophyllotoxin content and to enhance other useful traits.  相似文献

Leather industries release a large amount of pollution-causing chemicals which creates one of the major industrial pollutions. The development of enzyme based processes as a potent alternative to pollution-causing chemicals is useful to overcome this issue. Proteases are enzymes which have extensive applications in leather processing and in several bioremediation processes due to their high alkaline protease activity and dehairing efficacy. In the present study, we report cloning, characterization of a Mn2+ dependent alkaline serine protease gene (MASPT) of Bacillus pumilus TMS55. The gene encoding the protease from B. pumilus TMS55 was cloned and its nucleotide sequence was determined. This gene has an open reading frame (ORF) of 1,149 bp that encodes a polypeptide of 383 amino acid residues. Our analysis showed that this polypeptide is composed of 29 residues N-terminal signal peptide, a propeptide of 79 residues and a mature protein of 275 amino acids. We performed bioinformatics analysis to compare MASPT enzyme with other proteases. Homology modeling was employed to model three dimensional structure for MASPT. Structural analysis showed that MASPT structure is composed of nine α-helices and nine β-strands. It has 3 catalytic residues and 14 metal binding residues. Docking analysis showed that residues S223, A260, N263, T328 and S329 interact with Mn2+. This study allows initial inferences about the structure of the protease and will allow the rational design of its derivatives for structure-function studies and also for further improvement of the enzyme.  相似文献
