两种新的凋亡诱发蛋白的聚合作用及其对细胞凋亡的调控

Asy (apoptosis /saibousi Yutsudo)是日本Yutsudo小组于1999年发现的一个新的人类细胞凋亡诱发基因. 2000年齐兵等人通过酵母双杂交系统从人肺细胞系(W1-38) cDNA 文库中克隆出一个能与ASY蛋白相互作用的蛋白的新基因hap (homologue of asy protein). 已经证明ASY能在酵母细胞和哺乳动物细胞中形成同源二聚体, ASY与HAP能在酵母细胞中形成异源二聚体, ASY和HAP均能诱发肿瘤细胞Saos2和CGL4凋亡. 通过酵母双杂交系统证明HAP能在酵母细胞中形成同源二聚体; 通过交叉免疫沉淀证明HAP与ASY能在人类细胞中形成异源二聚体. 通过AnnexinV, TUNEL, DNA Ladder和流式细胞计数等检测凋亡的技术, 对asy, hap单独转染或共转染的人类正常细胞或肿瘤细胞的凋亡进行定性或定量检测, 证明ASY和HAP不仅诱发人类肿瘤细胞凋亡, 而且能诱发人类正常细胞凋亡, 并且证明由ASY与HAP形成的异源二聚体可降低由ASY和HAP各自形成的同源二聚体诱发细胞凋亡的活性, 揭示ASY与HAP形成同源或异源二聚体是调控人类细胞凋亡的重要机制.

IL-37与自身免疫性疾病

由调节性T细胞和免疫抑制因子提供的负反馈调控是免疫反应中的重要组成部分.白介素37(IL-37)是最近发现的具有广泛免疫抑制活性的免疫抑制因子.在炎症反应和自身免疫性疾病的发生发展中,IL-37被激活并保持较高水平的表达.被激活的IL-37具有较强的炎症抑制作用.在多种小鼠(Mus musculus)炎症模型中,表达IL-37的转基因小鼠具有较低水平的炎症反应.IL-37可以与IL-18受体结合并激活下游信号通路,进而表达和激活或抑制相关细胞因子,从而达到免疫抑制的作用.本文将首先对免疫抑制细胞和因子进行概述,然后详细阐述IL-37的发现历史、表达调控机制,以及其在自身免疫性疾病中的作用.

Dimerization of two novel apoptosisinducing proteins and its function in regulating cell apoptosis

Asy (apoptosis/saibousi Yutsudo) is a novel apoptosis-inducing gene found in 1999 by Yutsudo group in Japan. In 2000, Qi Bing et al. cloned another novel gene, named hap (homologue of ASY protein), which encoded the ASY interact ing protein, from human lung cell line (WI-38) cDNA library by using yeast two-h ybrid system. It has been proved that ASY formed homodimer in yeast and human ce ll line, ASY and HAP formed heterodimer in yeast cells, and both induced cell ap optosis in human tumor cell lines Sao2 and CGL4. This paper showed that HAP coul d form homodimer in yeast cells by yeast two-hybrid system; HAP and ASY could pr oduce heterodimer in human cell line by cross-immunoprecipitation test; by using apoptosis-testing technologies such as AnnexinV, TUNEL, DNA ladder and Flow Cyt ometry, the cell apoptosis in human normal or tumor cell lines transfected with hap or asy individually or cotransfected by the both was qualified or quantified . It was firstly demonstrated that ASY or HAP induced cell apoptosis not only in human tumor cell lines, but also in human normal cell lines. Moreover, we prove d that the heterodimer between ASY and HAP decreased apoptosis-inducing activity from the homodimer of ASY or HAP. It revealed that by choosing to form heterodi mer or homodimer between ASY and / or HAP is an important mechanism of regulatin g apoptosis in human cell lines.     

Dimerization of two novel apoptosis-inducing proteins and its function in regulating cell apoptosis

Apoptosis (or programmed cell death) was firstly described by Kerr[1] in 1972. Since bcl-2 cDNA was cloned by Cleary et al.[2] in 1986, many apoptosis-related genes have been found in human or mammalian cell lines. The bcl-2 family[35] containing 23 genes, the caspase family[68] bearing 14 members and the TNF family[9,10] are the most clearly elucidated ones. With the study of apoptosis going deeper, people have realized that cell apoptosis is impor-tant in development and homeostasis of mu…
