Background
Polymorphonuclear neutrophils (PMN) play a key role in host defences against invading microorganisms but can also potentiate detrimental inflammatory reactions in case of excessive or misdirected responses. Intravenous immunoglobulins (IVIg) are used to treat patients with immune deficiencies and, at higher doses, in autoimmune, allergic and systemic inflammatory disorders.Methodology/Principal Findings
We used flow cytometry to examine the effects of IVIg on PMN functions and survival, using whole-blood conditions in order to avoid artifacts due to isolation procedures. IVIg at low concentrations induced PMN activation, as reflected by decreased L-selectin and increased CD11b expression at the PMN surface, oxidative burst enhancement, and prolonged cell survival. In contrast, IVIg at higher concentrations inhibited LPS-induced CD11b degranulation and oxidative burst priming, and counteracted LPS-induced PMN lifespan prolongation.Conclusions/Significance
IVIg appears to have differential, concentration-dependent effects on PMN, possibly supporting the use of IVIg as either an anti-microbial or an anti-inflammatory agent. 相似文献2.

Ataxia-telangiectasia mutated (ATM) is essential for rapid induction of cellular responses to DNA double strand breaks (DSBs). In this study, we mapped a nuclear localization signal (NLS), 385KRKK388, within the amino terminus of ATM and demonstrate its recognition by the conventional nuclear import receptor, the importin alpha1/beta1 heterodimer. Although mutation of this NLS resulted in green fluorescent protein (GFP) x ATM(NLSm) localizing predominantly within the cytoplasm, small amounts of nuclear GFP x ATM(NLSm) were still sufficient to elicit a DNA damage response. Insertion of an heterologous nuclear export signal between GFP and ATM(NLSm) resulted in complete cytoplasmic localization of ATM, concomitantly reducing the level of substrate phosphorylation and increasing radiosensitivity, which indicates a functional requirement for ATM nuclear localization. Interestingly, the carboxyl-terminal half of ATM, containing the kinase domain, which localizes to the cytoplasm, could not autophosphorylate itself or phosphorylate substrates, nor could it correct radiosensitivity in response to DSBs even when targeted to the nucleus by insertion of an exogenous NLS, demonstrating that the ATM amino terminus is required for optimal ATM function. Moreover, we have shown that the recruitment/retention of ATM at DSBs requires its kinase activity because a kinase-dead mutant of GFP x ATM failed to form damage-induced foci. Using deletion mutation analysis we mapped a domain in ATM (amino acids 5-224) required for its association with chromatin, which may target ATM to sites of DNA damage. Combined, these data indicate that the amino terminus of ATM is crucial not only for nuclear localization but also for chromatin association, thereby facilitating the kinase activity of ATM in vivo. 相似文献

P-selectin (SELP) and its counter-receptor, P-selectin glycoprotein ligand-1 (PSGL-1), play key role in the transient attachment
of leukocytes to endothelial cells predisposing to coronary heart disease (CHD). In the current report, 293 angiographically
proven CHD patients and 327 age, gender, and race-matched controls were included. Our aim was to evaluate the contribution
to CHD of the following SNPs: C-2123G, G-1969A and T715P in SELP, Met62Ile and the VNTR variants in PSGL-1 gene in a North African population from Tunisia. While there were no significant differences in the distribution of SELP
or PSGL-1 alleles or genotypes between patients and controls, a trend for a significant association of the C-2123G genotypes
distribution with incident CHD was observed (P = 0.06). Assuming an additive model of transmission, the risk was 74% higher among subjects carrying the GG genotypes in
comparison to those carrying the CC genotype (OR = 1.74 [1.01–2.98], P = 0.04) and 80% higher in the recessive model (OR = 1.80 [1.08–3.01], P = 0.02). Haplotype analysis did not identify any specific SELP or PSGL-1 haplotypes to be associated with CHD. The present
study demonstrated no evidence of association between individual SELP or PSGL-1 SNPs or haplotypes with incident CHD. However,
this study replicates absence of association of the mostly studied SNP, T715P, previously reported in individuals with African
origin. 相似文献

Plant growth promoting rhizobacteria (PGPR) strains Rb29 (B. amyloliquefaciens MF352007), Bs1 (B. subtilis MF352017) and Bt1 (B. tequilensis MF352019) were tested for growth promotion and for their ability to induce systemic resistance against Fusarium wilt, a vascular disease of chickpea, using two methods that include whole plant and a split-root system. Bacillus strains and Fusarium oxysporum f. sp. ciceris (FOC) were inoculated on separate halves of roots of chickpea seedlings at the same time and then planted in separate pots either in superposition or one side of the other. All Bacillus strains systemically induced resistance against FOC, and significantly (p < 0.05) reduced the wilt disease by 98–100%. Application of Bacillus strains effectively enhanced plant growth, leading to increased plant height, root length, a fresh and dry weight of shoots and roots. These results help to explain the role of strains of Bacillus in growth promotion and biological control of Fusarium wilt in chickpea. This is the first report of systemic-induced resistance against Fusarium wilt in chickpea obtained by application of Bacillus strains to a root system spatially separated from the FOC-inoculated root. 相似文献

Human peripheral blood lymphocytes (PBL), from anti-Epstein-Barr virus (EBV)-seropositive donors, were stimulated by EBV and were shown to be cytotoxic toward autologous, HLA-compatible, and fully allogeneic EBV-transformed target cells. The lysis was not due to natural killer (NK) cells since the target cells used were resistant to lysis by fresh PBL and by virus-stimulated PBL-depleted of AET-SRBC-rosetting T cells (the latter being still fully cytotoxic on K562 NK-susceptible target cells). Conversely only E-rosette-purified (T) lymphocytes killed EBV-transformed HLA-compatible and allogeneic target cells. Moreover, anti-MHC antibodies inhibited the cytotoxicity exerted by EBV-induced cytotoxic T lymphocytes (CTL) on both autologous and allogeneic target cells. Finally the lysis was EBV specific since PHA blasts were not killed and since only EBV-transformed cells could compete for lysis with the EBV-positive target cells. Efficient competition was achieved by EBV-transformed cells autologous or allogeneic to the targets, even when effector and target cells were fully allogeneic. All together, the data suggest that human anti-EBV CTL may recognize nonpolymorphic HLA determinants on the target cells in association with the virus-induced antigens. 相似文献

Europium trivalent (Eu3+)‐doped Y2O3 nanopowders of different concentrations (0.5, 2.5, 5 or 7 at.%) were synthesized by the sol‐gel method, at different pH values (pH 2, 5 or 8) and annealing temperatures (600°C, 800°C or 1000°C). The nanopowders samples were characterized by X‐ray diffraction (XRD), field emission scanning electron microscopy (FE‐SEM), Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FT‐IR) and steady state photoluminescence spectroscopy. The effect of pH of solution and annealing temperatures on structural, morphological and photoluminescence properties of Eu3+‐doped Y2O3 were studied and are discussed. It was found that the average crystallite size of the nanopowders increased with increasing pH and annealing temperature values. The Y2O3:Eu3+ material presented different morphology and its evolution depended on the pH value and the annealing temperature. Activation energies at different pH values were determined and are discussed. Under ultraviolet (UV) light excitation, Y2O3:Eu3+ showed narrow emission peaks corresponding to the 5D0–7FJ (J = 0, 1, 2 and 3) transitions of the Eu3+ ion, with the most intense red emission at 611 assigned to forced electric dipole 5D0→7F2. The emission intensity became more intense with increasing annealing temperature and pH values, related to the improvement of crystalline quality. For the 1000°C annealing temperature, the emission intensity presented a maximum at pH 5 related to the uniform cubic‐shaped particles. It was found that for lower annealing temperatures (small crystallite size) the CTB (charge transfer band) position presented a red shift. Copyright © 2015 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd. 相似文献

The growing trend of employing multiproduct manufacturing facilities along with the randomness inherent in the biopharmaceutical manufacturing environment is creating significant scheduling and planning challenges for the biopharmaceutical industry. This work focuses on capturing the effect of uncertainty in fermentation titers when optimizing the planning of biopharmaceutical manufacturing campaigns. A mixed integer linear programming (MILP) model based on previous work is derived via chance constrained programming (CCP). The methodology is applied to two illustrative examples, and the results are compared with those from the deterministic model and a multiscenario model accompanied by an iterative construction algorithm. The computational results indicate that the proposed methodology offers significant improvements in solution quality over the compared approaches and presents an opportunity for biopharmaceutical manufacturers to make better medium term planning decisions, particularly under uncertain manufacturing conditions. 相似文献
