树突细胞的特征及其生物学功能的研究进展

树突细胞(DC)是已知功能最强大的专职抗原呈递细胞(APC),能高效摄取、加工并呈递抗原给T细胞,同时上调表达主要组织相容性复合物(MHC)Ⅰ、Ⅱ类分子,协同刺激分子和黏附分子,为T细胞激活提供协同刺激信号,从而启动适应性免疫应答.近年来对DC表面标记的研究揭示了更为细致的DC亚群分类,也推动了不同亚群DC生物学功能的研究进展.DC启动免疫应答具有双重作用,一方面能促进适应性免疫应答的激活,清除病原体;另一方面又能诱导调节性T细胞的产生,导致免疫耐受.DC在启动保护性免疫反应的同时,还可能因捕获、传递入侵的病毒而促进某些病毒感染.DC因其复杂的生物学功能而成为研究免疫应答的热点.本文主要对上述内容的研究进展作一简要综述.     

IRF family proteins and type I interferon induction in dendritic cells

Dendritic cells （DC）, although a minor population in hematopoietic cells, produce type I interferons （IFN） and other cytokines and are essential for innate immunity. They are also potent antigen presenters and regulate adaptive immunity. Among DC subtypes plasmacytoid DC （pDC） produce the highest amounts of type I IFN. In addition, pro- and anti-inflammatory cytokines such as IL-12 and IL-10 are induced in DC in response to Toll like receptor （TLR） signaling and upon viral infection. Proteins in the IRF family control many aspects of DC activity. IRF-8 and IRF-4 are essential for DC development. They differentially control the development of four DC subsets. IRF-8^-/- mice are largely devoid of pDC and CD8α^＋ DC, while IRF-4^-/- mice lack CD4^＋ DC. IRF-8^-/-, IRF4^-/-, double knock-out mice have only few CD8α CD4^-DC that lack MHC Ⅱ. IRF proteins also control type Ⅰ IFN induction in DC. IRF-7, activated upon TLR signaling is required for IFN induction not only in pDC, but also in conventional DC （cDC） and non-DC cell types. IRF-3, although contributes to IFN induction in fibroblasts, is dispensable in IFN induction in DC. Our recent evidence reveals that type Ⅰ IFN induction in DC is critically dependent on IRF-8, which acts in the feedback phase of IFN gene induction in DC. Type Ⅰ IFN induction in pDC is mediated by MyD88 dependent signaling pathway, and differs from pathways employed in other cells, which mostly rely on TLR3 and RIG-Ⅰ family proteins. Other pro-inflammatory cytokines are produced in an IRF-5 dependent manner. However, IRF-5 is not required for IFN induction, suggesting the presence of separate mechanisms for induction of type Ⅰ IFN and other pro-inflammatory cytokines. IFN and other cytokines produced by activated DC in turn advance DC maturation and change the phenotype and function of DC. These processes are also likely to be governed by IRF family proteins.

Effect of dansylcadaverine on the epidermal growth factor-stimulated phosphorylation of uridine

The increase of uridine phosphorylation during the first hour after epidermal growth factor (EGF) stimulation (1.25 nM) of Swiss 3T3 cells is completely blocked by 100 microM dansylcadaverine (DC). Lack of the effect of DC on uridine transport, uridine kinase activity in cell homogenate, intracellular ATP concentration and plasma membrane permeability for phosphorylated uridine derivatives makes it possible to propose the inhibition by DC (100 microM) of the activated state of uridine kinase. The rapidity of the inhibition of EGF effect and the lack of influence of DC (in tested concentration) upon the clustering of EGF-receptor complexes, rate of their internalization (Sorkin, 1985; Nikol'ski? et al., 1987) and pH value of intracellular compartments (Sorkin et al., 1985; Teslenko et al., 1986) may suggest an association of DC inhibitory action with blocking of some steps of the receptor mediated endocytosis. Accumulation of DC in cell membranes, rather than in intracellular compartments with acidic pH, is a necessary factor for its blocking effect. Possibilities of DC action through the influence on calmodulin-dependent proteins or EGF-induced cell protein phosphorylation are discussed.

On the nomenclature of Chinese drug “Cangzhu”

This paper is the documentation of specimens and literature reffered to Atractylodes lancea (Thunb.) DC. etc. As a result, it is found that, in taxonomy of the genus Atractylodes, what represcents by four long-established names, i. e. Atractylodes lancea (Thunb.) DC., A. ovata (Thunb.) DC., A. chinensis (Bunge) Koidz. and A. lyrata Sieb. et Zucc., in fact, is the one and same species. According to the law of priority in nomenclature, the first name should be given to Chinese drug “Cangzhu”, while theother three names have to be treated as its synonyms.     

DC3, the smallest subunit of the Chlamydomonas flagellar outer dynein arm-docking complex,is a redox-sensitive calcium-binding protein

The outer dynein arm-docking complex (ODA-DC) targets the outer dynein arm to its correct binding site on the flagellar axoneme. The Chlamydomonas ODA-DC contains three proteins; loss of any one prevents normal assembly of the outer arm, leading to a slow, jerky swimming phenotype. We showed previously that the smallest ODA-DC subunit, DC3, has four EF-hands (Casey, D. M., Inaba, K., Pazour, G. J., Takada, S., Wakabayashi, K., Wilkerson, C. G., Kamiya, R., and Witman, G. B. (2003) Mol. Biol. Cell 14, 3650-3663). Two of the EF-hands fit the consensus pattern for calcium binding, and one of these contains two cysteine residues within its binding loop. To determine whether the predicted EF-hands are functional, we purified bacterially expressed wild-type DC3 and analyzed its calcium-binding potential in the presence and absence of dithiothreitol and Mg2+. The protein bound one calcium ion with an affinity (Kd) of approximately 1 x 10-5 m. Calcium binding was observed only in the presence of dithiothreitol and thus is redox-sensitive. DC3 also bound Mg2+ at physiological concentrations but with a much lower affinity. Changing the essential glutamate to glutamine in both EF-hands eliminated the calcium binding activity of the bacterially expressed protein. To investigate the role of the EF-hands in vivo, we transformed the modified DC3 gene into a Chlamydomonas insertional mutant lacking DC3. The transformed strain swam normally, assembled a normal number of outer arms, and had a normal photoshock response, indicating that the Glu to Gln mutations did not affect ODA-DC assembly, outer arm assembly, or Ca2+-mediated outer arm activity. Thus, DC3 is a true calcium-binding protein, but the function of this activity remains unknown.

Antimutagenic activity of extracts from anticancer drugs in Chinese medicine

The antimutagenic activities of extracts of 36 commonly used anticancer crude drugs from Chinese herbs were studied by using the Salmonella/microsomal system in the presence of picrolonic acid or benzo[a]pyrene to test whether they contain direct or indirect antimutagens. Each crude drug was extracted with boiling water for 2 h, the method which is commonly used by Chinese people to prepare the drug for oral intake. The extracts of Pteris multifida P. showed the highest antimutagenic activity against picrolonic acid-induced mutation. The extracts of 6 other different kinds of Chinese herbs were shown to have a moderate antimutagenic activity against picrolonic acid-induced mutation, and they are: Actinidia chinensis P., Artemisia lavendulaefolia DC. and Crotalaria sessiflora L., Prunella vulgaris L., Paris polyphylla S. and Ampelopsis brevipedunculata T. The extracts of Smilax china L., Prunella vulgaris L. and Actinidia chinensis P. were demonstrated to inhibit the mutagenicity of benzo[a]pyrene completely. The 12 other kinds of extracts of Chinese herbs which had a moderate antimutagenic activity against benzo[a]pyrene were: Pteris polyphylla S., Ampelopsis brevipedunculata T., Duchesnea indica F., Gossypium herbaceum L., Lithospermum erythrorrhizon SZ., Artemisia lavendulaefolia DC., Selaginella doederleinii H., Dianthus superbus L., Centipeda minima ABA., Curcuma zedoaria R., Marsdenia tenacissima WA. and Kalopanax septemlobus K. Among them, there were 5 kinds of crude drugs, Actinidia chinensis P., Artemisia lavendulaefolia DC., Prunella vulgaris L., Paris polyphylla S. and Ampelopsis brevipedunculata T., containing antimutagenic factors against both picrolonic acid- and benzo[a]pyrene-induced mutation.
