The present study, we investigate the preventive role of naringin, a dietary flavonoid, against ultraviolet‐B (UVB) radiation (280‐320 nm) induced oxidative damage and inflammatory responses in mouse embryonic fibroblast cell lines (NIH‐3T3). In this study, 20 mJ/cm 2 of UVB radiation induces cell cytotoxicity, reactive oxygen species (ROS) generation, DNA damage, and antioxidants depletion in NIH‐3T3 cells. Treatment with naringin (60 µM) prior UVB exposure prevented the cell cytotoxicity, ROS generation, DNA damage, and antioxidants depletion in NIH‐3T3 cells. Furthermore, naringin prevents UVB‐induced mitogen‐activated protein kinase families and nuclear factor‐κB (NF‐κB)‐mediated activation of inflammatory factors, that is TNF‐α, IL‐6, IL‐10, and COX‐2 in NIH‐3T3 cells. Peroxisome proliferator‐activated receptor γ (PPARγ) is an anti‐inflammatory agent and it suppressed the UVB‐mediated oxidative and inflammatory responses. In this study, naringin activates PPARγ and prevents inflammatory biomarkers in NIH‐3T3 cells. Thus, naringin prevents UVB‐mediated inflammation and oxidative damage in NIH‐3T3 cells probably over controlling NF‐κB expression and activation of PPARγ. 相似文献

Background
Microalbuminuria and subsequent progression to proteinuria and nephropathy is associated with increased oxidative stress, increased inflammatory cytokines and increased cardiovascular (CVD) risk. The common functional IL-6 -174G>C gene variant is also associated with elevated levels of inflammatory cytokines and CVD risk.Methods
The aim of this study was to examine the association between the IL-6 -174G>C gene variant with plasma total antioxidant status (TAOS) in 552 subjects with type 2 diabetes in relation to urinary protein excretion.Results
In subjects free from CVD, there was a significant interaction between urinary protein excretion (normoalbuminuria/ microalbuminuria/proteinuria) and the -174C allele (compared to -174GG) in determining plasma TAOS (p value for interaction = 0.03). In the -174C allele carriers there was a significant association between plasma TAOS and urinary protein excretion: normalbuminuria v microalbuminuria v proteinuria: 44.30% ± 11.32 vs. 39.74% ± 14.83 vs. 37.93% ± 16.42, ANOVA p = 0.025. In those with CVD, no interaction or association was observed with the -174C allele (p = 0.246).Conclusion
The IL-6 -174G>C gene variant is associated with differences in plasma oxidative stress in response to altered protein excretion in subjects with type 2 diabetes. 相似文献5.
Stabilization of the soluble,cleaved, trimeric form of the envelope glycoprotein complex of human immunodeficiency virus type 1 总被引:2,自引:0,他引:2 下载免费PDF全文

The envelope glycoprotein (Env) complex of human immunodeficiency virus type 1 has evolved a structure that is minimally immunogenic while retaining its natural function of receptor-mediated virus-cell fusion. The Env complex is trimeric; its six individual subunits (three gp120 and three gp41 subunits) are associated by relatively weak, noncovalent interactions. The induction of neutralizing antibodies after vaccination with individual Env subunits has proven very difficult, probably because they are inadequate mimics of the native complex. Our hypothesis is that a stable form of the Env complex, perhaps with additional modifications to rationally alter its antigenic structure, may be a better immunogen than the individual subunits. A soluble form of Env, SOS gp140, can be made that has gp120 stably linked to the gp41 ectodomain by an intermolecular disulfide bond. This protein is fully cleaved at the proteolysis site between gp120 and gp41. However, the gp41-gp41 interactions in SOS gp140 are too weak to maintain the protein in a trimeric configuration. Consequently, purified SOS gp140 is a monomer (N. Schülke, M. S. Vesanen, R. W. Sanders, P. Zhu, D. J. Anselma, A. R. Villa, P. W. H. I. Parren, J. M. Binley, K. H. Roux, P. J. Maddon, J. P. Moore, and W. C. Olson, J. Virol. 76:7760-7776, 2002). Here we describe modifications of SOS gp140 that increase its trimer stability. A variant SOS gp140, designated SOSIP gp140, contains an isoleucine-to-proline substitution at position 559 in the N-terminal heptad repeat region of gp41. This protein is fully cleaved, has favorable antigenic properties, and is predominantly trimeric. SOSIP gp140 trimers are noncovalently associated and can be partially purified by gel filtration chromatography. These gp140 trimers are dissociated into monomers by anionic detergents or heat but are relatively resistant to nonionic detergents, high salt concentrations, or exposure to a mildly acidic pH. SOSIP gp140 should be a useful reagent for structural and immunogenicity studies. 相似文献

Leaf wounding and the wound signaling peptide systemin induce expression of wound response genes while the fungal toxin fusicoccin
(FC) induces expression of pathogenesis-related genes. Consistent with their functional differences, FC and systemin regulate
the extracellular pH in opposite ways, with systemin inducing an alkalinization and FC an acidification response. Here we
show that systemin, wounding and FC activate the same mitogen-activated protein kinases (MAPKs; MPKs) MPK1 and 2 in tomato
(Lycopersicon esculentum) leaves and L. peruvianum suspension-cultured cells. Wounding and FC activated an additional MAPK, MPK3. Pronounced differences were observed with
regard to MAPK activation kinetics. FC induced prolonged, and systemin transient activity of the MAPKs. This shows that functionally
different elicitors engage the same signaling components, yet induce signal-specific activation dynamics. A comparative analysis
of pH effects and MAPK activity in response to specific treatments revealed that the kinetics of pH changes and MAPK activation
did not correlate. Simultaneous application of FC and systemin did not lead to immediate pH changes but resulted in rapid
increases in MAPK activity. Furthermore, changes in extracellular pH could be induced without concomitant MAPK activation
by exchanging conditioned medium with fresh medium. This shows that changes in the extracellular pH are neither required nor
sufficient for MAPK activation, suggesting that signaling pathways involving MAPKs and extracellular pH changes operate in
parallel and are not part of the same linear pathway. 相似文献

Indole and its derivatives undergo smooth conjugate addition onto en-1,4-dione derived from isatin and acetophenone, in the presence of a catalytic amount of molecular iodine in acetonitrile under mild conditions to afford a novel class of 3-(1-(1H-indol-3-yl)-2-oxo-2-phenylethyl)indolin-2-one derivatives in good yields with high degree of 1,4-selectivity. Some of these compounds are found to exhibit modest antibacterial and antifungal properties. 相似文献

Substrate-induced conformational changes in Plasmodium falciparum guanosine monophosphate synthetase
GMP synthetase is a glutamine amidotransferase that incorporates ammonia derived from glutamine into the nucleotide xanthosine 5'-monophosphate (XMP) to form guanosine 5'-monophosphate (GMP). Functional coordination of domains in glutamine amidotransferases leads to upregulation of glutamine hydrolysis in the presence of acceptor substrates and is a common feature in this class of enzymes. We have shown earlier that binding of substrates to the acceptor domain of Plasmodium falciparum GMP synthetase (PfGMPS) leads to enhancement in both glutaminase activity and rate of glutaminase inactivation, by the irreversible inhibitors acivicin and diazo-oxonorleucine [Bhat JY et al. (2008) Biochem J409, 263-273], a process that must be driven by conformational alterations. In this paper, through the combined use of biochemical assays, optical spectroscopy and mass spectrometry, we demonstrate that PfGMPS undergoes conformational transitions upon binding of substrates to the acceptor domain. Limited proteolysis and hydrogen-deuterium exchange in conjunction with mass spectrometry unveil region-specific conformational changes in the ATP + XMP bound state of PfGMPS. Decreased accessibility of R294 and K428 residues to trypsin in the ATP pyrophosphatase domain and reduced deuterium incorporation in the 143-155 region, pertaining to the glutaminase domain, suggest that in PfGMPS ligand-induced conformational changes are not only local but also transmitted over a long range across the domains. Overall, these results provide a detailed understanding of the substrate-induced changes in PfGMPS that could be essential for the overall catalytic process. 相似文献
