Summary Levels of seven messenger RNA species were compared in human umbilical vein endothelial cells of different lineage and time
in culture. Specifically, cells obtained from the American Type Culture Collection (ATCC) and subcultured were compared to
early passage cells from cultures produced in our laboratory. Messenger RNA for tissue plasminogen activator, plaminogen activator
inhibitor 1, urokinase, and thrombomodulin were expressed at higher levels in the ATCC cells. Thrombospondin, von Willebrand's
Factor, and protein S messenger RNA were expressed at higher levels in the cells that we isolated. In addition, in the ATCC
cells a shift in the proportion of plasminogen activator inhibitor messenger RNA from the 3.4 to the 2.4 kilobase species
was found. We conclude that specific messenger RNA levels can vary considerably between cultured human umbilical vein endothelial
cells. The large variation in mRNA levels which we describe has important implications for experiments involving gene expression
in cultured endothelium. 相似文献

Reactive oxygen species (ROS) are produced during normal cellular metabolism, and various oxidized compounds are formed by the ROS attack. Among oxidized bases, 8-oxo-7,8-dihydroguanine (8-oxoG) is most abundant and seems important with respect to the maintenance and transfer of genetic information. The accumulation of 8-oxoG in messenger RNA may cause errors during codon-anticodon pairing in the translation process, which may result in the synthesis of abnormal proteins. Organisms that use oxygen as the source of energy production must therefore have some mechanisms to eliminate the deleterious effects of RNA oxidation. Recently, we found two protein factors, AUF1 and PCBP1, which each have a different binding capacity to oxidized RNA. Evidence demonstrated that AUF1 is involved in the specific degradation of oxidized RNA, and that PCBP1 has a function of inducing cell death to eliminate severely damaged RNA. 相似文献

RNA synthesis is activated in cells of the plant embryo very soon after the start of imbibition by the seed. This study was undertaken to determine whether synthesis of one particular RNA or all the major RNA species was initially activated in the radicle of lentil embryos ( Vicia lens ). Two different methods were used after incorporation of radioactive precursor to identify the newly synthesized RNA species. First, RNA was extracted and analyzed using gel electrophoresis, gel filtration, affinity chromatography and base composition analysis. The second method was to localize the labelled RNA molecules within cells using autoradiography of sections of embryonic radicles. The data indicate that newly synthesized heterogeneous nuclear RNA and possibly messenger RNA, transfer RNA, 5S ribosomal RNA and precursor of ribosomal RNA are detectable 3 h after the start of imbibition of the decoated embryo and before completion of initial water uptake. It is concluded that synthesis of all major species of RNA is simultaneously initiated in the radicle of the germinating embryo. 相似文献

Activity-dependent neuroprotective protein (ADNP) 2 (KIAA0863; ZNF508) gene, a homeobox-profile containing gene, was identified in a screen for homologous proteins to ADNP. The human ADNP2 contains 1131 amino acid residues with a molecular weight of 122.8 KDa. In silico analysis indicated that ortholgs to ADNP2 exist in different phyla, suggesting that ADNP2 might be evolutionary conserved. Here, we began to explore the molecular and functional characterization of ADNP2. Results showed that the mouse ADNP2 mRNA is ubiquitously expressed in distinct normal tissues with increased expression in the brain, particularly in the cerebral cortex. During development, a relatively high level of ADNP2 gene expression was found in the embryonic mouse brain and was sustained throughout embryogenesis and adulthood. An increase in the mRNA was detected in differentiated P19 neuronal/glial-like cells as compared with the non-differentiated cells. To gain insight into ADNP2 function, ADNP2-deficient cell lines were established by the RNA silencing (small interfering RNA) technology. ADNP2 deficiency significantly changed the toxicity induced by hydrogen peroxide in P19 embryonic carcinoma cells, similar to what would be predicted for ADNP deficiency. These findings represent an initial characterization of ADNP2 and suggest that this gene product may have an important function in brain by playing a role in cellular survival pathways. 相似文献

Breast cancer 1, early onset (BRCA1) hereditary breast cancer, a type of cancer with defects in the homology-directed DNA repair pathway, would benefit from the identification of proteins for diagnosis, which might also be of potential use as screening, prognostic, or predictive markers. Sporadic breast cancers with defects in the BRCA1 pathway might also be diagnosed. We employed proteomics based on one-dimensional gel electrophoresis in combination with nano-LC-MS/MS and spectral counting to compare the protein profiles of mammary tumor tissues of genetic mouse models either deficient or proficient in BRCA1. We identified a total of 3,545 proteins, of which 801 were significantly differentially regulated between the BRCA1-deficient and -proficient breast tumors. Pathway and protein complex analysis identified DNA repair and related functions as the major processes associated with the up-regulated proteins in the BRCA1-deficient tumors. In addition, by selecting highly connected nodes, we identified a BRCA1 deficiency signature of 45 proteins that enriches for homology-directed DNA repair deficiency in human gene expression breast cancer data sets. This signature also exhibits prognostic power across multiple data sets, with optimal performance in a data set enriched in tumors deficient in homology-directed DNA repair. In conclusion, by comparing mouse proteomes from BRCA1-proficient and -deficient mammary tumors, we were able to identify several markers associated with BRCA1 deficiency and a prognostic signature for human breast cancer deficient in homology-directed DNA repair. 相似文献

Dithiocarbamates are a well-defined family of antioxidants that may have therapeutic uses such as in treatment of inflammation and atherosclerosis. A critical event in the pathogenesis of atherosclerosis is the infiltration of inflammatory cells into the vessel wall. Vascular cell adhesion molecule-1 (VCAM-1) plays a pivotal role in this process by mediating leukocyte binding to endothelial cells. VCAM-1 expression is stimulated by oxidized polyunsaturated fatty acids such as 13-hydroperoxy-octadecadienoic acid (13-HPODE), and this lipid hydroperoxide has been proposed to be a second messenger for induction of VCAM-1 gene expression. Pyrrolidine dithiocarbamate (PDTC) markedly represses cytokine-induced VCAM-1 gene expression in cultured human endothelial cells; however, its effects on the oxidative second messenger pathway are unknown. Using a lipoxygenase (LO) inhibition assay in tandem with a colorimetric assay for lipid peroxides, we determined that PDTC does not inhibit the enzymatic oxidation of linoleic acid to 13-HPODE by LO, but directly interacts with and chemically reduces 13-HPODE. We hypothesize that dithiocarbamates may intercept the oxidative second-messenger-induced expression of VCAM-1 and other redox-regulated genes important in inflammation and atherosclerosis. 相似文献

RNA localization is a regulated component of gene expression of fundamental importance in development and differentiation. Several RNA binding proteins involved in RNA localization during development in Drosophila have been identified, of which Y14, Mago, Pumilio, and IMP-1 are known to be expressed in adult mammalian intestine. The present study was undertaken to define the developmental and regional expression of these proteins, as well as Staufen-1, in mouse intestinal cells and in other tissues and cell lines using RT-PCR, and localization using in situ hybridization and immunohistochemistry. Staufen-1, Y14, Mago-m, and Pumilio-1 were expressed in intestinal epithelial cells of both villus and crypt and in Caco-2 and IEC-6 cells. In contrast, expression of IMP-1 was age- and region-specific, showing clear expression in distal fetal and newborn intestine, but very low or no expression in adult. The mRNAs were cytosolic, with more apical than basal expression in enterocytes. Staufen protein showed a similar localization pattern to that of its cognate mRNA. Overall, the data suggest an essential role for these proteins in intestinal cells. Age and regional expression of IMP-1 may indicate a role in regulation of site-specific translation of intestinal genes or in RNA localization. 相似文献
