A putative Toll/interleukin‐1 receptor domain protein from Helicobacter pylori is dimeric in solution and interacts with human Toll‐like receptor adaptor myeloid differentiation primary response 88 下载免费PDF全文

Helicobacter pylori, an important human pathogen, is capable of causing persistent infection with minimal immune response. The first line of defense during H. pylori infection is through gastric epithelial cells that present TLR, A family of bacterial proteins that share homology with the Toll/IL‐1 receptor (TIR) domain were identified. Bacterial TIR proteins (BTP) mimic human TIR domain proteins and act on myeloid differentiation primary response gene 88 (MyD88) signaling pathways to suppress TLR signaling. H. pylori may also produce a similar protein. A putative H. pylori BTP was found based on sequence homology. The corresponding gene hp1437 was inserted into an expression vector in fusion with an N‐terminal cleavable 6his‐tag. The recombinant protein, 6his‐HP1437, was purified using nickel affinity chromatography with a yield of 8 mg/L culture. Oligomerization of HP1437 was investigated by size‐exclusion chromatography. It was found that HP1437 forms dimers in solution similar to other BTPs. Furthermore, glutathione S‐transferase pull down assays identified an interaction between HP1437 and human TIR domain adaptor MyD88. These findings suggest that HP1437 has the characteristic features of BTPs and may play a direct role in reducing immune response against H. pylori by binding to MyD88 and pave the way for an in‐depth characterization of this putative novel H. pylori virulence factor. 相似文献

Pro‐inflammatory interleukin (IL)‐17‐producing γδ (γδ17) T cells are thought to develop exclusively in the thymus during fetal/perinatal life, as adult bone marrow precursors fail to generate γδ17 T cells under homeostatic conditions. Here, we employ a model of experimental autoimmune encephalomyelitis (EAE) in which hematopoiesis is reset by bone marrow transplantation and demonstrate unequivocally that Vγ4+ γδ17 T cells can develop de novo in draining lymph nodes in response to innate stimuli. In vitro, γδ T cells from IL‐17 fate‐mapping reporter mice that had never activated the Il17 locus acquire IL‐17 expression upon stimulation with IL‐1β and IL‐23. Furthermore, IL‐23R (but not IL‐1R1) deficiency severely compromises the induction of γδ17 T cells in EAE, demonstrating the key role of IL‐23 in the process. Finally, we show, in a composite model involving transfers of both adult bone marrow and neonatal thymocytes, that induced γδ17 T cells make up a substantial fraction of the total IL‐17‐producing Vγ4+ T‐cell pool upon inflammation, which attests the relevance of this novel pathway of peripheral γδ17 T‐cell differentiation. 相似文献

Exosomes have recently emerged as key mediators of different physiological and pathological processes. However, there has been few report about proteomic analysis of exosomes derived from human follicular fluid and their association with the occurrence of PCOS. Herein, we used TMT‐tagged quantitative proteomic approach to identify proteomic profiles in exosomes derived from follicular fluid of PCOS patients and healthy controls. We identified 662 proteins in exosomes derived from human ovarian follicular fluid. Eighty‐six differently expressed proteins (P < .05) were found between PCOS and healthy women. The alterations in the proteomic profile were related to the inflammation process, reactive oxygen species metabolic process, cell migration and proliferation. Importantly, we observed that follicular fluid exosomes contain S100 calcium‐binding protein A9 (S100‐A9) protein. Exosome‐enriched S100‐A9 significantly enhanced inflammation and disrupted steroidogenesis via activation of nuclear factor kappa B (NF‐κB) signalling pathway. These data demonstrate that exosomal proteins are differentially expressed in follicular fluid during disease process, and some proteins may play important roles in the regulation of granulosa cell function. These results highlight the importance of exosomes as extracellular communicators in ovarian follicular development. 相似文献
