Tumor growth requires angiogenesis, which in turn requires an imbalance in the presence of angiogenic and angiostatic factors. We have shown that the CXC chemokine family, consisting of members that are either angiogenic or angiostatic, is a major determinant of tumor-derived angiogenesis in non-small-cell lung cancer (NSCLC). Intratumor injection of interferon-inducible protein 10 (IP-10, or CXCL10), an angiostatic CXC chemokine, led to reduced tumor growth in a SCID mouse model of NSCLC. In this study, we hypothesized that treatment with CXCL10 would, by restoring the angiostatic balance, improve long-term survival in NSCLC-bearing SCID mice. To test this hypothesis, A549 NSCLC cells were injected in the subcutis of the flank, followed by intratumor injections with CXCL10 continuously (group I), or for ten weeks (group II), or a control group (human serum albumin). Median survival was 169, 130, and 86 days respectively (P<0.0001). We extended these studies to examine the mechanism of prolonged survival in CXCL10-treated mice. CXCL10 treatment inhibited lung metastases, but was dependent upon continued treatment, and was associated with an increased rate of apoptosis in the primary tumor, with no direct effect on the proliferation of the NSCLC cells. Furthermore, the inhibition of lung metastases was due to the angiostatic effect of CXCL10 on the primary tumor, since the rate of apoptosis within lung metastases was unaffected. These data suggest that anti-angiogenic therapy of human lung cancer should be continued indefinitely to realize persistent benefit, and confirms the anti-metastatic capacity of localized angiostatic therapy. 相似文献

RNA碱基上的化学修饰在其功能的精准调节中发挥关键作用,其中m6A是自然界中最普遍的RNA修饰之一,且该修饰在调控RNA稳定性、pre-mRNA剪接、翻译等方面具有重要功能。在真核生物中,m6A修饰主要由两种甲基转移酶完成,其在哺乳动物中分别命名为METTL3和METTL16。与METTL3相似,METTL16的底物多种多样,包括pre-mRNA、rRNA、snRNA和lncRNA等,因此似乎难以用一种分子机理解释METTL16对不同RNA底物进行m6A修饰的功能。此外,METTL16还在翻译调控中发挥重要作用,但此过程不依赖其甲基转移酶活性,这进一步增加了高度保守的METTL16的功能复杂性。本综述总结了METTL16及其同源蛋白质的结构域、甲基化底物以及它们的潜在功能,着重阐述了在不同物种中关于METTL16研究结果的矛盾之处,并推测METTL16调控S-腺苷基甲硫氨酸(SAM)代谢的功能是趋同进化的一个潜在案例。 相似文献

Death receptors of TNFSF10/TRAIL (tumor necrosis factor superfamily member 10) contribute to immune surveillance against virus-infected or transformed cells by promoting apoptosis. Many viruses evade antiviral immunity by modulating TNFSF10 receptor signaling, leading to persistent infection. Here, we report that hepatitis B virus (HBV) X protein (HBx) restricts TNFSF10 receptor signaling via macroautophagy/autophagy-mediated degradation of TNFRSF10B/DR5, a TNFSF10 death receptor, and thus permits survival of virus-infected cells. We demonstrate that the expression of the TNFRSF10B protein is dramatically reduced both in liver tissues of chronic hepatitis B patients and in cell lines transfected with HBV or HBx. HBx-mediated downregulation of TNFRSF10B is caused by the lysosomal, but not proteasomal, degradation pathway. Immunoblotting analysis of LC3B and SQSTM1, and microscopy analysis of tandem-fluorescence-tagged LC3B revealed that HBx promotes complete autophagy. Inhibition of autophagy with a pharmacological inhibitor and LC3B knockdown revealed that HBx-induced autophagy is crucial for TNFRSF10B degradation. Immunoprecipitation and GST affinity isolation assays showed that HBx directly interacts with TNFRSF10B and recruits it to phagophores, the precursors to autophagosomes. We confirmed that autophagy activation is related to the downregulation of the TNFRSF10B protein in liver tissues of chronic hepatitis B patients. Inhibition of autophagy enhanced the susceptibility of HBx-infected hepatocytes to TNFSF10. These results identify the dual function of HBx in TNFRSF10B degradation: HBx plays a role as an autophagy receptor–like molecule, which promotes the association of TNFRSF10B with LC3B; HBx is also an autophagy inducer. Our data suggest a molecular mechanism for HBV evasion from TNFSF10-mediated antiviral immunity, which may contribute to chronic HBV infection. 相似文献

Hypertrophic scar (HS) is a severe fibrotic skin disease. It has always been a major problem in clinical treatment, mainly because its pathogenesis has not been well understood. The roles of bacterial contamination and prolonged wound inflammation were considered significant. IL-10 is a potent anti-inflammatory cytokine and plays a pivotal role in wound healing and scar formation. Here, we investigate whether IL-10 alleviates lipopolysaccharide (LPS)-induced inflammatory response and skin scarring and explore the possible mechanism of scar formation. Our results showed that the expression of TLR4 and pp65 was higher in HS and HS-derived fibroblasts (HSFs) than their counterpart normal skin (NS) and NS-derived fibroblasts (NSFs). LPS could up-regulate the expression of TLR4, pp65, Col I, Col III and α-SMA in NSFs, but IL-10 could down-regulate their expression in both HSFs and LPS-induced NSFs. Blocking IL-10 receptor (IL-10R) or the phosphorylation of STAT3, their expression was up-regulated. In addition, in vitro and in vivo models results showed that IL-10 could alleviate LPS-induced fibroblast-populated collagen lattice (FPCL) contraction and scar formation. Therefore, IL-10 alleviates LPS-induced skin scarring via IL-10R/STAT3 axis regulating TLR4/NF-κB pathway in dermal fibroblasts by reducing ECM proteins deposition and the conversion of fibroblasts to myofibroblasts. Our results indicate that IL-10 can alleviate the LPS-induced harmful effect on wound healing, reduce scar contracture, scar formation and skin fibrosis. Therefore, the down-regulation of inflammation may lead to a suitable scar outcome and be a better option for improving scar quality. 相似文献

Dengue virus (DENV) and parvovirus B19 (B19V) infections are acute exanthematic febrile illnesses that are not easily differentiated on clinical grounds and affect the paediatric population. Patients with these acute exanthematic diseases were studied. Fever was more frequent in DENV than in B19V-infected patients. Arthritis/arthralgias with DENV infection were shown to be significantly more frequent in adults than in children. The circulating levels of interleukin (IL)-1 receptor antagonist (Ra), CXCL10/inducible protein-10 (IP-10), CCL4/macrophage inflammatory protein-1 beta and CCL2/monocyte chemotactic protein-1 (MCP-1) were determined by multiplex immunoassay in serum samples obtained from B19V (37) and DENV-infected (36) patients and from healthy individuals (7). Forward stepwise logistic regression analysis revealed that circulating CXCL10/IP-10 tends to be associated with DENV infection and that IL-1Ra was significantly associated with DENV infection. Similar analysis showed that circulating CCL2/MCP-1 tends to be associated with B19V infection. In dengue fever, increased circulating IL-1Ra may exert antipyretic actions in an effort to counteract the already increased concentrations of IL-1β, while CXCL10/IP-10 was confirmed as a strong pro-inflammatory marker. Recruitment of monocytes/macrophages and upregulation of the humoral immune response by CCL2/MCP-1 by B19V may be involved in the persistence of the infection. Children with B19V or DENV infections had levels of these cytokines similar to those of adult patients. 相似文献

Summary It has been well established that Tn3 and its relatives transpose from one replicon to another by two successive reactions: formation of the cointegrate molecule and resolution from it. Whether or not the 9300 base pair tetracycline resistance transposon Tn10 transposes in the same manner as Tn3 was investigated by two methods.In the first method, 55, a lambda phage carrying Tn10 was lysogenized in an Escherichia coli strain carrying a Tn10 insertion; the phage has a deletion in attP, hence it was lysogenized in a Tn10 sequence in the E. coli chromosome by reciprocal recombination. The chromosomal structure in these lysogens is equivalent to the Tn10-mediated cointegrate molecule of lambda and the E. coli chromosomal DNA. The stability of the cointegrate molecule was examined by measuring the rate of excision of lambda from the host chromosome, and was found to be stable, especially in a Rec- strain. Because of this stability, the cointegrate molecule should be accumulated if Tn10 transposes via the cointegrate molecule. Then, we examined the configuration of products made by transposition of Tn10 from 55 to the E. coli chromosome. The cointegrate molecule was found in products of Tn10 transposition in a Rec+ strain at a frequency of 5% per Tn10 transposition, but this molecule could not be found in a Rec- strain. Since transposition of Tn10 was recA-independent, absence of the cointegrate molecule formed in a RecA- strain strongly suggested that the cointegrate molecule is not an obligatory intermediate of transposition of Tn10.In the second method, mobilization of pACYC177 by R388 and by R388:: Tn10 was examined. The pACYC177 plasmid was mobilized by R388::Tn10 at a frequency of 10-4 per donor but not by R388. It occurred, in most cases, by inverse transposition of R388::Tn10 to pACYC177 forming plasmids such as pACYC177::IS10-R388-IS10. Mobilization of pACYC177 by a Tn10-mediated cointegrate in the form of pACYC177::Tn10-R388-Tn10 was not observed in crosses using a Rec- donor. These observations also suggested that transposition of Tn10 in Rec- cells does not occur via the cointegrate molecule. 相似文献
