Co-expression and immunity of Legionella pneumophila mip gene and immunoadjuvant ctxB gene

The mip gene of Legionella pneumophila and the ctxB gene of Vibrio cholerae were amplifiedby PCR respectively.The amplified cDNA was ligated to the pcDNA3.1(+)vector.The recombinant plasmidspcDNA3,1-mip and pcDNA3.1-ctxB were identified by restriction analysis and PCR,and further confirmedby sequencing analysis.NIH3T3 cells were transfected with pcDNA3.1-mip and pcDNA3.1-ctxB accordingto the Lipofection method.Transient and stable products of the co-expression of the mip gene and ctxB genewere detected by immunofluorescence and Western blotting.The results showed that NIH3T3 cells weresuccessfully transfected,and that the transiently and stably co-expressed products can be detected in thetransfected cells.To detect the humoral and cellular immune response in immunized mice induced by the co-immunization of the mip and ctxB genes,female BALB/c mice were immunized intramuscularly with pcDNA3.1-mip and pcDNA3.1-ctxB.The results showed that the specific antibody titer and the cytotoxic T-lymphocyteresponse for pcDNA3,1-mip immunization and co-immunization were increased compared with that ofpcDNA3.1(+) immunization.Furthermore,the specific antibody titer and cytotoxic T-lymphocyte responsefor co-immunization were increased compared with that of pcDNA3.1-mip immunization.Statistical analysisusing one-way analysis of variance(ANOVA)showed that there was a significant difference between thegroups(P<0.01).The results indicated that the ctxB gene enhanced the humoral and cellular immune responseto the mip gene immunization.These findings provide experimental evidence to support the development ofthe L.pneumophila DNA vaccine.     

Transformation of NIH 3T3 cells with basic fibroblast growth factor or the hst/K-fgf oncogene causes downregulation of the fibroblast growth factor receptor: reversal of morphological transformation and restoration of receptor number by suramin

When NIH 3T3 cells were transfected with the cDNA for basic fibroblast growth factor (bFGF), most cells displayed a transformed phenotype. Acquisition of a transformed phenotype was correlated with the expression of high levels of bFGF (Quarto et al., 1989). Cells that had been transformed as a result of transfection with bFGF cDNA had a decreased capacity to bind 125I-bFGF to high affinity receptors. NIH 3T3 cells transfected with bFGF cDNA that expressed lower levels of bFGF were not transformed and had a normal number of bFGF receptors. NIH 3T3 cells transfected with the hst/Kfgf oncogene, which encodes a secreted molecule with 45% homology to bFGF, also displayed a transformed phenotype and decreased numbers of bFGF receptors. However, NIH 3T3 cells transfected with the H-ras oncogene were transformed but had a normal number of bFGF receptors. Thus, transformation by bFGF-like molecules resulted in downregulation of bFGF receptors. Receptor number was not affected by cell density for both parental NIH 3T3 cells and transformed cells. In the cells transfected with bFGF cDNA that were not transformed, the receptors could be downregulated in response to exogenous bFGF. Conditioned medium from transformed transfected cells contained sufficient quantities of bFGF to downregulate bFGF receptors on parental NIH 3T3 cells. Thus, the downregulation of bFGF receptors seemed related to the presence of bFGF in an extracytoplasmic compartment. Treatment of the transformed transfected NIH 3T3 cells with suramin, which blocks the interaction of bFGF with its receptor, reversed the morphological transformation and restored receptors almost to normal numbers. These results demonstrate that in these cells bFGF transforms cells by interacting with its receptor and that bFGF and hst/K-fgf may use the same receptor.     

Epimorphin: a mesenchymal protein essential for epithelial morphogenesis.

A novel 150 kd protein expressed on the surface of mesenchymal cells of mouse embryonic tissues was identified. A monoclonal antibody to this molecule inhibited various processes of epithelial morphogenesis, such as hair follicle growth and lung epithelial tubular formation, in organ cultures of these tissues. Sequence analysis of cDNA encoding this protein revealed that it had 289 amino acids with a hydrophobic stretch at the C-terminus. NIH 3T3 cells transfected with the cDNA of this protein expressed the exogenous 150 kd protein on their surface. When lung epithelial cells were cocultured with these transfected cells, they showed normal tubular morphogenesis, but not with untransfected NIH 3T3 cells. These results indicate that this protein, termed epimorphin, plays a central role in epithelial-mesenchymal interactions.

Growth-Regulatory Activity of the Growth Arrest-Specific Gene, GAS1, in NIH3T3 Fibroblasts

The growth arrest-specific gene, Gas-1, is preferentially expressed in quiescent NIH3T3 cells and inhibits DNA synthesis, suggesting that Gas-1 may be a tumor suppressor gene. When GAS1 cDNA, under the control of the strong constitutive CMV promoter, was transfected into NIH3T3 cells, no stable transfectant cell lines were produced, confirming that high levels of expression of GAS1 mRNA inhibit proliferation. GAS1, under the control of a dexamethasone-inducible promoter, was also transfected into NIH3T3 cells, resulting in normal numbers of transfectant clones. When expression of GAS1 mRNA was induced with dexamethasone, the growth rate was greatly inhibited. Morphological changes characteristic of growth arrest were also observed. To determine if antisense inhibition of expression of Gas-1 will transform normal fibroblasts, GAS1 cDNA, cloned in the antisense orientation, was transfected into NIH3T3 cells and expression of endogenous Gas-1 mRNA was inhibited. The GAS1-antisense cells had altered morphology and grew to a much higher saturation density than control cell lines with a loss of contact inhibition. However, there was no change in requirements for serum or any development of anchorage-independence. Antisense inhibition of expression of GAS1 is therefore insufficient to transform the cells, suggesting that additional genetic events are required for a fully malignant phenotype.

A novel TNF-inducible message with putative growth suppressor function

We report the nucleotide sequence of a novel cDNA and TNF-induced expression of the corresponding message (mRNA) in human fibroblast cells. This message is also expressed in certain human tumor cell lines and is over-expressed in a colon cancer cell line (HT-29). NIH3T3 cells transfected with the antisense construct of the 5'-region of this novel cDNA formed 20-fold more colonies in culture compared to cells transfected with a sense construct of the same region or the sense and the antisense constructs of the central region of this cDNA. This observation suggests a possible growth suppressor function for the gene represented by this cDNA.     

Involvement of somatically acquired ecotropic viruses in the immunogenicity of nude-transplanted NIH/3T3 transformed cell lines.

Immunogenic tumor variants were previously derived after transplantation in vivo into nude mice of NIH/3T3-transformed cell lines. Nude-passaged cell lines were rejected by immunocompetent H-2q NIH mice, were recognized by specific CTL clones, and expressed new retroviral Ag. The aim of the present work was to investigate whether somatically acquired proviral sequences were present in the genome of nude-passaged cells and to test directly for a causative relationship between murine leukemia virus (MuLV) expression and immunogenicity. Southern blot analysis of PstI-digested DNA indicated that in contrast to the parental NIH/3T3 transformed cell lines (pT, T12N/5a, NS-1) all the nude-passaged immunogenic variants (pT-nude, T12N/5a-nude, NS-1-nude) contained newly acquired ecotropic-related proviruses. Immediately after in vitro establishment, these tumors displayed multiple integration sites as assessed by analysis of 3' proviral-cellular junctions. Long term in vitro culture of one of the cell lines (pT-nude) resulted in a cell line (pT-nude/vitro) that was clonal or oligo-clonal with respect to viral integration. Northern blot analysis established that the new proviruses were actively transcribed in all the immunogenic variants. To assess whether the somatically acquired ecotropic proviral sequences encode for target structures recognized by specific CTL, obtained after immunization of NIH mice with pT-nude, the parental cell line pT was transfected with plasmids containing the entire AKV MuLV genome, the cloned AKV gag or env genes. Screening of transfectants for their ability to stimulate the production of TNF by anti-pT-nude effectors indicated that cells transfected with the entire ecotropic virus or with MuLV-env gene products could be recognized by an NIH anti-pT-nude CTL line and NIH anti-pT-nude Kq-restricted CTL clones as well as the immunizing target pT-nude.

Identification and expression of human CD81 gene on murine NIH/3T3 cell membrane

The human CD81 (hCD81) molecule has been identified as a putative receptor for hepatitis C virus (HCV). In this study, eukaryotic expression vector pCDM8-hCD81 containing hCD81 cDNA and pSV2neo helper plasmid was used to cotransfect with lipofectamine into murine fibroblast cell line NIH/3T3 to establish an hCD81-expressing cell line. Resistant cell clones were obtained 20 days after the selection with neomycin (600 micro/ml) and then cultured as monoclones. The expression of the transfected hCD81 gene in the cells was verified by RT-PCR and flow cytometry analyses. One of the selected cell clones showed obvious expression of hCD81 and was named NIH/3T3-hCD81. Competitive inhibition tests indicated that the binding of monoclonal anti-hCD81 (JS-81) to NIH/3T3-hCD81 cells was inhibited by recombinant HCV E2 protein, suggesting that the expressed hCD81 molecules on NIH/3T3-hCD81 cells maintain natural conformation of binding to HCV E2. The transfected NIH/3T3-hCD81 cells should be of great potential value in studies on HCV attachment and onset of infection.     

Expression cDNA cloning of a transforming gene encoding the wild-type G alpha 12 gene product.

Using an expression cDNA cloning approach, we examined human tumor cell lines for novel oncogenes that might evade detection by conventional techniques. We isolated a transforming sequence that was highly efficient in transforming NIH 3T3 mouse fibroblasts. DNA sequence analysis identified the gene as the human homolog of a recently cloned alpha subunit of mouse GTP-binding protein G alpha 12. NIH 3T3 cells transfected with G alpha 12 cDNA grew in soft agar and were tumorigenic in nude mice. There were no apparent mutations in the cloned cDNA in comparison with a G alpha 12 cDNA clone isolated from a normal human epithelial cell library, implying that overexpression alone was sufficient to cause NIH 3T3 cell transformation. The observed altered growth properties mediated by G alpha 12 showed a certain degree of dependency on serum factors, and its mitogenic potential was also potently inhibited by suramin treatment.     

FUP1, a gene associated with hepatocellular carcinoma, stimulates NIH3T3 cell proliferation and tumor formation in nude mice

Human primary hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC)is one of the highly prevalent malignant diseases worldwide, the identification of HCC-associated genes has been a major approach in elucidating the molecular mechanism of tumorigenesis of HCC. In our previous studies, a function-unknown gene, which displayed marked expression difference between the HCC sample and normal liver control has been detected by cDNA microarray. This gene was named after fup1 (function-unknown protein 1), and was cloned according to the data of GenBank. The cDNA of fup1 has an open-reading frame 1233 base pairs in size. Here, the function analysis of FUP1 related to HCC is being reported. The NIH3T3 cells transiently transfected with FLAG-conjugated FUP1 revealed strong nuclear staining in immunofluorescent assay. Furthermore, cell proliferation enhancing activity of fup1 was shown by MTT assay in stable transfectant NIH3T3 cell line with pcDNA3-derived plasmid having fup1 under the regulation of pCMV, while cell proliferation repressing activity of antisense fup1 was observed in BEL7404 stable transfectant cells. Tumorigenicity of the above stable transfectant cells was analyzed in nude mice compared with appropriate controls. The result was in good agreement with MTT assay. Elevated tumorigenicity of fup1 transfected NIH3T3 cell and repressed tumorigenicity of antisense fup1 transfected BEL7404 cell were clearly demonstrated. The results above suggested that fup1 might be a critical gene related to carcinogenesis of HCC. Detailed molecular function of fup1 remains to be elucidated.
