圣草酚对Aβ25-35诱导的PC12细胞损伤的保护作用及其机制

目的:探讨圣草酚对Aβ_(25-35)诱导的PC12细胞损伤的保护作用及其机制。方法:采用MTT法筛选圣草酚对Aβ_(25-35)诱导的PC12细胞损伤的有效保护浓度,进一步采用流式细胞术检测圣草酚对Aβ_(25-35)诱导的PC12细胞的凋亡率的影响,并通过试剂盒检测圣草酚对Aβ_(25-35)诱导的PC12细胞胆碱能系统受体活性的影响。结果:MTT结果显示2×10~(-3)μmol/L圣草酚可显著促进Aβ2_(25-35)诱导的PC12细胞增殖(P0.05)。流式细胞术结果显示2×10~(-3)μmol/L圣草酚和雌二醇均可以显著抑制Aβ_(25-35)诱导的PC12细胞凋亡(P0.05),提高其乙酰胆碱及乙酰胆碱转移酶活性并且降低乙酰胆碱酯酶的活性(P0.05),且二者的作用相当,差异无统计学意义(P0.05)。结论:圣草酚可能通过提高Ach及ChAT的含量,降低AchE的含量,调节胆碱能系统相关酶的活性,发挥对Aβ_(25-35)诱导的PC12细胞的保护作用。     

靶向探针追踪Aβ_(25-35)的亚细胞定位并基于Nrf2通路探讨阿里红多糖对线粒体损伤的保护机制

用靶向探针追踪淀粉样蛋白(Aβ_(25-35))的亚细胞定位情况,同时基于Nrf2信号通路探讨阿里红多糖组分(FOAPs-a)和(FOAPs-b)对Aβ_(25-35)诱导的PC12细胞线粒体损伤通路的保护作用机制。采用40μmol/L Aβ_(25-35)诱导PC12细胞建立阿尔茨海默病(AD)细胞模型,将PC12细胞分为空白组、模型组(加40μmol/L Aβ_(25-35))、阳性组(加50μmol/L盐酸多奈哌齐)、不同浓度的FOAPs-a和FOAPs-b干预组(各50、100、200μg/mL)。以靶向探针追踪Aβ_(25-35)在各组PC12细胞中的亚细胞定位情况;通过试剂盒检测PC12细胞中活性氧自由基ROS的变化情况;Western blotting法测定细胞凋亡相关蛋白Bax及Bcl-2的表达量以及和Nrf2通路相关的Nrf2、APK1和磷酸化的APK1蛋白的表达情况。结果发现,Aβ_(25-35)处理PC12细胞会影响线粒体的完整性;在200μg/mL FOAPs-a/b预处理PC12细胞后,能够显著缓解Aβ_(25-35)对线粒体的损伤,同时使Aβ_(25-35)的亚细胞共定位减弱;与空白组比较,模型组细胞中ROS含量增加,与模型组比较,FOAPs-a及FOAPs-b干预组均能降低ROS的沉积,差异有统计学意义;Western blotting结果显示:与模型组比较FOAPs-a及FOAPs-b均能减少APK1的磷酸化水平,上调Nrf2的蛋白表达水平。总之Aβ_(25-35)可进入到PC12细胞的线粒体中引起其损伤,阿里红多糖组分能够通过激活Nrf2信号通路显著缓解Aβ_(25-35)对PC12细胞线粒体的损伤。

Crystallization and preliminary X-ray crystallographic studies of benzamidine-inhibited trypsin from the North Atlantic salmon (Salmo salar)

Crystals of benzamidine-inhibited trypsin from the North Atlantic salmon (Salmo salar) have been grown from ammonium sulphate solution at pH 5.0. Two crystal forms suitable for X-ray structure analysis, obtained from a hanging-drop experiment, have been characterized.

Intensity data to 1.82 A have been collected for crystal form I on a CAD4 diffractometer, and initial phases have been obtained by molecular replacement methods. The conventional R-factor after two rounds of model building and subsequent refinement is 0.25 for data between 6.0 and 2.0 A. So far no water molecules have been included in the model.     

Crystallization and preliminary X-ray diffraction analysis of oucleoside diphosphate kinase from Myxococcus xanthus.

Nucleoside diphosphate (NDP) kinase catalyzes the transfer of the gamma-phosphate from a nucleoside triphosphate to a nucleoside diphosphate. Human and rodent forms of this enzyme have been shown to be suppressors of metastasis. Crystals that diffract X-rays to high resolution have been obtained for the recombinant Myxococcus xanthus NDP kinase expressed in and purified from Escherichia coli. Two crystal forms have been obtained. Both forms are orthorhombic, space group I222 (or I2(1)2(1)2(1)) with a = 267.1 A, b = 74.0 A and c = 75.1 A for form I and a = 53.5 A, b = 74.0 A and c = 75.1 A for form II. Form I appears to have five molecules in the asymmetric unit approximately related to each other by a translation of 0.2 along the a axis. Diffraction data have been recorded to 1.9 A for form I and to 2.2 A for form II.

They diffract to about 2A resolution and appear to have one dimer of 2 X 29,000 daltons in the asymmetric unit.     

Preliminary crystallographic studies on human apo-lactoferrin in its native and deglycosylated forms

Human apo-lactoferrin in both native and deglycosylated forms has been purified, and crystals obtained by dialysis against low ionic strength buffer solutions. The crystals of native apo-lactoferrin are orthorhombic, space group P2(1)2(1)2(1) with cell dimensions a = 222.0 A, b = 115.6 A, c = 77.8 A and have two protein molecules per asymmetric unit. Two crystal forms of deglycosylated apo-lactoferrin have been obtained. One is orthorhombic, space group P2(1)2(1)2(1), with cell dimensions a = 152.1 A, b = 94.6 A, c = 55.8 A. The second is tetragonal, space group I4, with cell dimensions a = b = 189.4 A, c = 55.1 A. Both of the latter have only one molecule per asymmetric unit, and are suitable for high-resolution X-ray structure analysis.     

Crystallization, activity assay and preliminary X-ray diffraction analysis of the uncleaved form of the serpin antichymotrypsin.

Crystals of recombinant wild-type antichymotrypsin have been prepared by the method of vapor diffusion with polyethylene glycol 4000 as a precipitant at pH 5.7. Two crystal forms are observed. One form belongs to tetragonal space group P4(3)2(1)2 (or P4(1)2(1)2) and has unit cell dimensions a = b = 126 A, c = 243 A, with two molecules in the asymmetric unit. The other crystal form belongs to orthorhombic space group P2(1)2(1)2(1) and has unit cell parameters of a = 73 A, b = 78 A and c = 80 A, with one molecular in the asymmetric unit. Diffraction intensity measurements have been made on the tetragonal crystal form to a limiting resolution of 4.1 A, and reflections have been observed on X-ray still photographs to a limiting resolution of 2.5 A for the orthorhombic form. An activity assay of redissolved tetragonal form crystals indicates that the uncleaved, functional serpin has been crystallized.     

Characterization of crystals of an intact monoclonal antibody for canine lymphoma

A monoclonal antibody of the subclass IgG2a specific for canine lymphoma cells has been crystallized by vapor diffusion from polyethylene glycol 8000. the crystals, which occasionally measure nearly a millimeter on edge, have been examined by X-ray diffraction. The crystals are of triclinic space group P1 with unit cell parameters of a = 66.39 A, b = 77.34 A, c = 101.42 A, alpha = 87.60 degrees, beta = 92.55 degrees, gamma = 97.54 degrees and cell volume of V = 4.84 x 10(5) A3. There is one entire antibody molecule as the asymmetric unit of the crystals. Three-dimensional X-ray diffraction data have been collected to 2.8 A resolution and a self rotation function calculation shows a pronounced peak indicating at least an approximate non-crystallographic dyad axis.     

X-ray analysis of new crystal forms of the sweet protein thaumatin

Thaumatin is a plant protein that in the mature form contains 8 disulfide bonds and 207 amino acids. Several forms of this protein occur naturally and each elicits an intense sweetness sensation when tasted in microgram quantities. The two major forms of thaumatin are easily separable by ion exchange chromatography. Crystals of the two proteins (designated here A and B) have been grown by vapor equilibration from solutions containing polyethylene glycol and examined by X-ray diffraction. The thaumatin A crystals are of space group P2(1)2(1)2(1) with a = 44.3 A, b = 63.7 A and c = 72.7 A. The crystals of thaumatin B are of space group C2 with a = 117.7 A, b = 44.9 A, and c = 38.0 A and beta = 94.0 degrees. Both crystals diffract to well beyond 2.3 A and appear suitable for high resolution structure analysis. Four heavy atom derivatives of thaumatin B have been generated and diffraction data to 4 A resolution have been collected. This work is designed to provide a basis for studying the 3-dimensional structure of more than 100 genetically generated thaumatin derivatives, several of which show enhanced stability and improved taste characteristics.     

Crystallization and preliminary X-ray crystallographic analysis of Ace: a collagen-binding MSCRAMM from Enterococcus faecalis

Ace is a collagen-binding bacterial cell surface adhesin from Enterococcus faecalis. The collagen-binding domain of Ace (termed Ace40) and its truncated form Ace19 have been crystallized by the vapor-diffusion hanging-drop method. Ace19 was crystallized in two different crystal forms. A complete 1.65 A data set has been collected on the orthorhombic crystal form with unit cell parameters a=38.43 b=48.91 and c=83.73 A. Ace40 was crystallized in the trigonal space group P3(1)21 or P3(2)21 with unit cell parameters a=b=80.24, c=105.91 A; alpha=beta=90 and gamma=120 degrees. A full set of X-ray diffraction data was collected to 2.5 A. Three heavy atom derivative data sets have been successfully obtained for Ace19 crystals and structural analysis is in progress.
