The effect of exogenous heat shock protein HSP70 and lipopolysaccharide (LPS) on the production of reactive oxygen species (ROS), TNFα secretion, and mRNA expression by human neuroblastoma SK-N-SH cells. It was shown that exogenous HSP70 protects neuroblastoma cells from the action of LPS. The protection mechanism of HSP70 includes a reduction in the production of ROS and TNFα and a decrease in the expression of TLR4 and IL-1β mRNA in SK-N-SH cells induced by LPS. 相似文献

Here, we demonstrate a previously unknown function for the 70-kDa heat-shock protein (HSP70) as a cytokine. HSP70 bound with high affinity to the plasma membrane, elicited a rapid intracellular calcium flux, activated nuclear factor (NF)-kappaB and upregulated the expression of pro-inflammatory cytokines tumor necrosis factor (TNF)-alpha, interleukin (IL)-1beta and IL-6 in human monocytes. Furthermore, two different signal transduction pathways were activated by exogenous HSP70: one dependent on CD14 and intracellular calcium, which resulted in increased IL-1beta, IL-6 and TNF-alpha; and the other independent of CD14 but dependent on intracellular calcium, which resulted in an increase in TNF-alpha but not IL-1beta or IL-6. These findings indicate that CD14 is a co-receptor for HSP70-mediated signaling in human monocytes and are indicative of an previously unrecognized function for HSP70 as an extracellular protein with regulatory effects on human monocytes, having a dual role as chaperone and cytokine. 相似文献

Developing immunosuppressive therapies for autoimmune diseases comes with a caveat that immunosuppression may promote the risk of developing other conditions or diseases. We have previously shown that biolistic delivery of an expression construct encoding inducible HSP70 (HSP70i) with one amino acid modification in the dendritic cell (DC) activating moiety 435–445 (HSP70iQ435A) to mouse skin resulted in significant immunosuppressive activity of autoimmune vitiligo, associated with fewer tissue infiltrating T cells. To prepare HSP70iQ435A as a potential therapeutic for autoimmune vitiligo, in this study we evaluated whether and how biolistic delivery of HSP70iQ435A in mice affects anti-tumor responses. We found that HSP70iQ435A in fact supports anti-tumor responses in melanoma-challenged C57BL/6 mice. Biolistic delivery of the HSP70iQ435A-encoding construct to mice elicited significant anti-HSP70 titers, and anti-HSP70 IgG and IgM antibodies recognize surface-expressed and cytoplasmic HSP70i in human and mouse melanoma cells. A peptide scan revealed that the anti-HSP70 antibodies recognize a specific C-terminal motif within the HSP70i protein. The antibodies elicited surface CD107A expression among mouse NK cells, representative of antibody-mediated cellular cytotoxicity (ADCC), supporting the concept, that HSP70iQ435A-encoding DNA elicits a humoral response to the stress protein expressed selectively on the surface of melanoma cells. Thus, besides limiting autoimmunity and inflammation, HSP70iQ435A elicits humoral responses that limit tumor growth and may be used in conjunction with immune checkpoint inhibitors to not only control tumor but to also limit adverse events following tumor immunotherapy.Supplementary InformationThe online version contains supplementary material available at 10.1007/s12192-021-01229-x. 相似文献

Although the main regulators of leukocyte trafficking are chemokines, another family of chemotactic agents is cyclophilins. Intracellular cyclophilins function as peptidyl-prolyl cis-trans isomerases and are targets of the immunosuppressive drug cyclosporine A (CsA). Cyclophilins can also be secreted in response to stress factors, with elevated levels of extracellular cyclophilins detected in several inflammatory diseases. Extracellular cyclophilins are known to have potent chemotactic properties, suggesting that they might contribute to inflammatory responses by recruiting leukocytes into tissues. The objective of the present study was to determine the impact of blocking cyclophilin activity using a cell-impermeable derivative of CsA to specifically target extracellular pools of cyclophilins. In this study, we show that treatment with this compound in a mouse model of allergic lung inflammation demonstrates up to 80% reduction in inflammation, directly inhibits the recruitment of Ag-specific CD4(+) T cells, and works equally well when delivered at 100-fold lower doses directly to the airways. Our findings suggest that cell-impermeable analogs of CsA can effectively reduce inflammatory responses by targeting leukocyte recruitment mediated by extracellular cyclophilins. Specifically blocking the extracellular functions of cyclophilins may provide an approach for inhibiting the recruitment of one of the principal immune regulators of allergic lung inflammation, Ag-specific CD4(+) T cells, into inflamed airways and lungs. 相似文献

Sepsis, a devastating and often lethal complication of severe infection, is characterized by fever and dysregulated inflammation. While infections activate the inflammatory response in part through Toll-like receptors (TLRs), fever can partially activate the heat shock response with generation of heat shock proteins (HSPs). Since extracellular HSPs, especially HSP70 (eHSP70), are proinflammatory TLR agonists, we investigated how exposure to the TLR4 agonist, bacterial lipopolysaccharide (LPS) and febrile range hyperthermia (FRH; 39.5°C) modify HSP70 expression and extracellular release. Using differentiated THP1 cells, we found that concurrent exposure to FRH and LPS as well as TLR2 and TLR3 agonists synergized to activate expression of inducible HSP72 (HSPA1A) mRNA and protein via a p38 MAP kinase-requiring mechanism. Treatment with LPS for 6 h stimulated eHSP70 release; levels of eHSP70 released at 39.5°C were higher than at 37°C roughly paralleling the increase in intracellular HSP72 in the 39.5°C cells. By contrast, 6 h exposure to FRH in the absence of LPS failed to promote eHSP70 release. Release of eHSP70 by LPS-treated THP1 cells was inhibited by glibenclamide, but not brefeldin, indicating that eHSP70 secretion occurred via a non-classical protein secretory mechanism. Analysis of eHSP70 levels in exosomes and exosome-depleted culture supernatants from LPS-treated THP1 cells using ELISA demonstrated similar eHSP70 levels in unfractionated and exosome-depleted culture supernatants, indicating that LPS-stimulated eHSP70 release did not occur via the exosome pathway. Immunoblot analysis of the exosome fraction of culture supernatants from these cells showed constitutive HSC70 (HSPA8) to be the predominant HSP70 family member present in exosomes. In summary, we have shown that LPS stimulates macrophages to secrete inducible HSP72 via a non-classical non-exosomal pathway while synergizing with FRH exposure to increase both intracellular and secreted levels of inducible HSP72. The impact of increased macrophage intracellular HSP70 levels and augmented secretion of proinflammatory eHSP70 in the febrile, infected patient remains to be elucidated. 相似文献

Expression of intracellular HSP70 is associated with cytoprotective effects against a wide range of stressful stimuli, such as inflammation, oxidative stress, hypoxia, endotoxins, infections, and fever. This cytoprotective effect is mainly attributed to their ability to stabilize protein structures through chaperone-like reversible interactions. HSP70 was recently detected in the extracellular medium, and its presence in serum is commonly associated with pathological situations, where it exerts modulatory effects on cells of the immune system. Previously, we have described the relationship between serum HSP70 levels, oxidant status, and clinical outcome of septic patients; the group of patients with higher prooxidant status and higher serum HSP70 had also higher mortality. To investigate the possible association between oxidized HSP70 and cytoprotection or cell death, we incubated RAW 264.7 macrophages with oxidized HSP70 and evaluated nitrite production, cell proliferation, cell viability, TNF-α release, and phagocytic activity. We also evaluated structural modifications caused by oxidation in purified HSP70. Oxidation of HSP70 altered its protein structure; besides, the modulatory effect of oxidized HSP70 on RAW264.7 cells was different from that of native HSP70. Macrophages treated with oxidized HSP70 presented lower proliferation and viability, lower phagocytic activity, and lower TNF-α release. These results indicate that oxidation of extracellular HSP70 modified its signaling properties, causing alterations on its modulatory effects on macrophage function and viability. 相似文献

It has been previously reported that pretreatment with exogenous heat shock protein 70 (Hsp70) is able to protect cells and
animals from the deleterious effects of bacterial lipopolysaccharide (LPS) produced by Gram-negative bacteria. However, the
effects of Hsp70 pretreatment on lipoteichoic acid (LTA) challenge resulted from Gram-positive bacteria infection have not
been fully elucidated. In this study, we demonstrated that preconditioning with human recombinant Hsp70 ameliorates various
manifestations of systematic inflammation, including reactive oxygen species, TNFα, and CD11b/CD18 adhesion receptor expression
induction observed in different myeloid cells after LTA addition. Therefore, exogenous Hsp70 may provide a mechanism for controlling
excessive inflammatory responses after macrophage activation. Furthermore, in a rat model of LTA-induced sepsis, we demonstrated
that prophylactic administration of exogenous human Hsp70 significantly exacerbated numerous homeostatic and hemodynamic disturbances
induced by LTA challenge and partially normalized the coagulation system and multiple biochemical blood parameters, including
albumin and bilirubin concentrations, which were severely disturbed after LTA injections. Importantly, prophylactic intravenous
injection of Hsp70 before LTA challenge significantly reduced mortality rates. Thus, exogenous mammalian Hsp70 may serve as
a powerful cellular defense agent against the deleterious effects of bacterial pathogens, such as LTA and LPS. Taken together,
our findings reveal novel functions of this protein and establish exogenous Hsp70 as a promising pharmacological agent for
the prophylactic treatment of various types of sepsis. 相似文献

吐温80对体外HeLa细胞的杀伤抑制 总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1
研究吐温80对体外培养HeLa细胞的杀伤抑制。通过MTT法检测并观察了不同浓度吐温80、大肠杆菌内毒素(LPS)及前列腺素E1(PGEI)对体外培养HeLa细胞作用后细胞抑制率;将作用后细胞裂解液经SDS-PAGE及Western-blotting法测定其热休克蛋白70(Heat Shock Protein70,HSP70)表达。结果:0.02%吐温80具有明显杀伤HeLa细胞的作用,且作用后的HeLa细胞几乎无HSP70蛋白表达(正常HeLa细胞有一定量HSP70蛋白表达),但却有一种分子量为70kDa的蛋白高表达,表明吐温80显著抑制HSP70表达,以至HeLa细胞死亡,同时促使某一种蛋白大量堆积。大肠杆菌内毒素、前列腺素E1对HeLa细胞无明显抑制杀伤作用,且与吐温80无明显协同效应,同时亦对HeLa细胞HSP70表达无显著影响。推测:吐温80对HeLa细胞HSP70表达的显著抑制作用可能是其杀伤HeLa细胞的 作用机制之一,为理想的温热治疗肿瘤的协同合并作用药物,但其使细胞内大量某70kDa蛋白堆积现象有待进一步探讨。 相似文献

The effects of thymopentin, a synthetic analog of the active center of the thymus hormone thymopoietin, on the immune status of mice with two different models of inflammation induced by injection of lipopolysaccharide (LPS) from Gram-negative bacteria were studied. Acute inflammation was induced by a single injection of LPS in a dose of 250 μg/100 g of body weight, and chronic inflammation (sepsis) was modeled by daily injection of LPS for 11 days with a gradual increase in the dose range from 25 to 250 μg/100 g of body weight. Under acute inflammation, a preliminary injection of thymopentin did not induce any additional stimulation of cytokine production increased by LPS. On the contrary, whereas the chronic introduction of LPS was characterized by a depressed production of several cytokines, thymopentin produced an immunostimulating effect. Thus an increase in the production of nitric oxide, interferon-μ, and Hsp70 was demonstrated. In addition, a more effective restoration of the number of thymus cells, as well as an increase in macrophage tumor necrosis factor-α production were observed after cessation of LPS + hormone injections. The results show that preliminary application of thymopentin promotes the regulation of immune cell activity under acute and chronic inflammation. 相似文献

Heat shock protein 70 (HSP70) is a chaperone that maintains protein conformation during heat stress. It has recently been observed that HSP70 may be released from cells in response to increased energy demand (e.g., exercise) and/or oxidative stress. Since HSP70 levels should change in response to athletic training, we have investigated whether blood HSP70 levels in young women handball players change over a complete training season. Thirty women handball players (12-24 years old) were divided into low (≥30 pg mL(-1)) (LE) and normal (30-330 pg mL(-1)) (NE) estradiol groups. HSP70 levels in lymphocytes and plasma and blood redox parameters were evaluated over 1 year (2009), with sampling at the beginning, middle, and end of the season. We observed no changes in superoxide dismutase activity or protein carbonyl or extracellular HSP70 levels, while catalase activity increased at the middle of the season in the NE group, and the thiobarbituric acid species levels in both groups were higher at the beginning of the season than at the middle or end. The lymphocyte HSP70 content was higher at the middle and end than at the beginning of the season in the NE group and also higher in the LE group than in the NE group at the beginning of the season. These results suggest that plasma estradiol levels may play an important role in exercise training and that the intracellular HSP70 content, a biomarker for inflammation, is affected by both estradiol levels and exercise-induced oxidative stress. 相似文献

Heat shock proteins including the major stress protein HSP70 support intracellular homeostasis and prevent protein damage after a temperature increase and other stressful environmental stimuli, as well as during aging. We have shown earlier that prolonged administration of recombinant human HSP70 to mice exhibiting Alzheimer’s-like neurodegeneration as well as during sepsis reduces the clinical manifestations of these pathologies. Herein, we studied the action of recombinant human HSP70 on young and aged mouse mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) in culture. The results obtained indicate that HSP70 at concentrations of 2 μg/ml and higher significantly stimulates growth of aged but not young MSCs. A similar effect is produced by application of a mild heat shock (42 °C 5 min) to the cells. Importantly, responses of young and aged MSCs to heat shock treatment of various durations differed drastically, and aged MSCs were significantly more sensitive to higher heat stress exposures than the young cells. Western blotting and protein labeling experiments demonstrated that neither mild heat shock nor exogenous HSP70 administration resulted in significant endogenous HSP70 induction in young and aged MSCs, whereas mild heat shock increased HSC70 levels in aged MSCs. The results of this study suggest that the administration of exogenous HSP70 and the application of mild heat stress may produce a certain “rejuvenating” effect on MSCs and possibly other cell types in vivo, and these interventions may potentially be used for life extension by delaying various manifestations of aging at the molecular and cellular level. 相似文献

Adiponectin is an adipose derived hormone that declines in obesity. We have previously shown that exogenous administration of adiponectin reduces allergic airways responses in mice. T-cadherin (T-cad; Cdh13) is a binding protein for the high molecular weight isoforms of adiponectin. To determine whether the beneficial effects of adiponectin on allergic airways responses require T-cad, we sensitized wildtype (WT), T-cadherin deficient (T-cad(-/-)) and adiponectin and T-cad bideficient mice to ovalbumin (OVA) and challenged the mice with aerosolized OVA or PBS. Compared to WT, T-cad(-/-) mice were protected against OVA-induced airway hyperresponsiveness, increases in BAL inflammatory cells, and induction of IL-13, IL-17, and eotaxin expression. Histological analysis of the lungs of OVA-challenged T-cad(-/-) versus WT mice indicated reduced inflammation around the airways, and reduced mucous cell hyperplasia. Combined adiponectin and T-cad deficiency reversed the effects of T-cad deficiency alone, indicating that the observed effects of T-cad deficiency require adiponectin. Compared to WT, serum adiponectin was markedly increased in T-cad(-/-) mice, likely because adiponectin that is normally sequestered by endothelial T-cad remains free in the circulation. In conclusion, T-cad does not mediate the protective effects of adiponectin. Instead, mice lacking T-cad have reduced allergic airways disease, likely because elevated serum adiponectin levels act on other adiponectin signaling pathways. 相似文献

Rat H9c2 myoblasts were preconditioned by heat or metabolic stress followed by recovery under normal conditions. Cells were then subjected to severe ATP depletion, and stress-associated proteotoxicity was assessed on 1) the increase in a Triton X-100-insoluble component of total cellular protein and 2) the rate of inactivation and insolubilization of transfected luciferase with cytoplasmic or nuclear localization. Both heat and metabolic preconditioning elevated the intracellular heat shock protein 70 (HSP70) level and reduced cell death after sustained ATP depletion without affecting the rate and extent of ATP decrease. Each preconditioning attenuated the stress-induced insolubility among total cellular protein as well as the inactivation and insolubilization of cytoplasmic and nuclear luciferase. Transient overexpression of human HSP70 in cells also attenuated both the cytotoxic and proteotoxic effects of ATP depletion. Quercetin, a blocker of stress-responsive HSP expression, abolished the effects of stressful preconditioning but did not influence the effects of overexpressed HSP70. Analyses of the cellular fractions revealed that both the stress-preconditioned and HSP70-overexpressing cells retain the soluble pool of HSP70 longer during ATP depletion. Larger amounts of other proteins coimmunoprecipitated with excess HSP70 compared with control cells deprived of ATP. This is the first demonstration of positive correlation between chaperone activity within cells and their viability in the context of ischemia-like stress. 相似文献

It is well established that liver ischemia-reperfusion induces the expression of heat shock protein (HSP) 70. However, the biological function of HSP70 in this injury is unclear. In this study, we sought to determine the role of HSP70 in hepatic ischemia-reperfusion injury in mice. Male mice were subjected to 90 min of partial hepatic ischemia followed by up to 8 h of reperfusion. HSP70 was rapidly upregulated after reperfusion. To explore the function of HSP70, sodium arsenite (8 mg/kg iv) was injected before surgery. We found that this dose induced HSP70 expression within 6 h of treatment. Induction of HSP70 with arsenite resulted in a >50% reduction in liver injury as determined by serum transaminases and histology. In addition, arsenite similarly reduced liver neutrophil recruitment and liver nuclear factor-kappaB activation, and attenuated serum levels of tumor necrosis factor-alpha and macrophage inflammatory protein-2, but increased levels of interleukin (IL)-6. In HSP70 knockout mice, arsenite did not protect against liver injury but did reduce liver neutrophil accumulation. Arsenite-induced reductions in neutrophil accumulation in HSP70 knockout mice were found to be mediated by IL-6. To determine whether extracellular HSP70 contributed to the injury, recombinant HSP70 was injected before surgery. Intravenous injection of 10 microg of recombinant HSP70 had no effect on liver injury after ischemia-reperfusion. The data suggest that intracellular HSP70 is directly hepatoprotective during ischemia-reperfusion injury and that extracellular HSP70 is not a significant contributor to the injury response in this model. Targeted induction of HSP70 may represent a potential therapeutic option for postischemic liver injury. 相似文献

Cigarette smoke is associated with increased carotid intimal thickening or stroke. Preliminary work showed that exposure to smoke resulted in a 4.5-fold reduction of heat shock protein-70 (HSP70) expression in spleens of mice using gene microarray analysis. In the current study, we investigated the role of extracellular HSP70 in carotid intimal thickening of mice exposed to cigarette smoke. Intimal thickening was induced by placement of a cuff around the right carotid artery of mice. Cuff injury resulted in increased HSP70 mRNA expression in carotid arteries that persisted for 21 days. Cigarette smoke exposure decreased arterial HSP70 expression and significantly increased intimal thickening compared with mice exposed to air. Treatment of mice exposed to cigarette smoke with intravenous recombinant HSP70 attenuated intimal thickening through reduced phosphorylated extracellular signal-regulated kinase (pERK) expression in the arterial wall. In vitro experiments with rat aortic smooth muscle cells confirmed that recombinant HSP70 decreases pERK and proliferating cell nuclear antigen (PCNA) expression in cells exposed to cigarette smoke extract and H(2)O(2). Our study suggests that decreased expression of arterial HSP70 is an important mechanism by which exposure to cigarette smoke augments intimal thickening. The effects of recombinant HSP70 suggest a role for extracellular HSP70. 相似文献

In airways, the ecto-nucleoside triphosphate diphosphohydrolase CD39 plays a central role in the regulation of physiological mucosal nucleotide concentrations and likely contributes to the control of inflammation because accelerated ATP metabolism occurs in chronic inflammatory lung diseases. We sought to determine whether constant elevated CD39 activity in lung epithelia is sufficient to cause inflammation and whether this affects the response to acute LPS or Pseudomonas aeruginosa exposure. We generated transgenic mice overexpressing human CD39 under the control of the airway-specific Clara cell 10-kDa protein gene promoter. Transgenic mice did not develop any spontaneous lung inflammation. However, intratracheal instillation of LPS resulted in accelerated recruitment of neutrophils to the airways of transgenic mice. Macrophage clearance was delayed, and the amounts of CD8(+) T and B cells were augmented. Increased levels of keratinocyte chemoattractant, IL-6, and RANTES were produced in transgenic lungs. Similarly, higher numbers of neutrophils and macrophages were found in the lungs of transgenic mice infected with P. aeruginosa, which correlated with improved bacteria clearance. The transgenic phenotype was partially and differentially restored by coinstillation of P2X(1) or P2X(7) receptor antagonists or of caffeine with LPS. Thus, a chronic increase of epithelial CD39 expression and activity promotes airway inflammation in response to bacterial challenge by enhancing P1 and P2 receptor activation. 相似文献

Endotoxin (Lipopolysaccharide, LPS) is a potent inducer of inflammation and there is various LPS contamination in the environment, being a trigger of lung diseases and exacerbation. The objective of this study was to assess the time course of inflammation and the sensitivities of the airways and alveoli to targeted LPS inhalation in order to understand the role of LPS challenge in airway disease.In healthy volunteers without any bronchial hyperresponsiveness we targeted sequentially 1, 5 and 20 μg LPS to the airways and 5 μg LPS to the alveoli using controlled aerosol bolus inhalation. Inflammatory parameters were assessed during a 72 h time period. LPS deposited in the airways induced dose dependent systemic responses with increases of blood neutrophils (peaking at 6 h), Interleukin-6 (peaking at 6 h), body temperature (peaking at 12 h), and CRP (peaking at 24 h). 5 μg LPS targeted to the alveoli caused significantly stronger effects compared to 5 μg airway LPS deposition. Local responses were studied by measuring lung function (FEV(1)) and reactive oxygen production, assessed by hydrogen peroxide (H(2)O(2)) in fractionated exhaled breath condensate (EBC). FEV(1) showed a dose dependent decline, with lowest values at 12 h post LPS challenge. There was a significant 2-fold H(2)O(2) induction in airway-EBC at 2 h post LPS inhalation. Alveolar LPS targeting resulted in the induction of very low levels of EBC-H(2)O(2).Targeting LPS to the alveoli leads to stronger systemic responses compared to airway LPS targeting. Targeted LPS inhalation may provide a novel model of airway inflammation for studying the role of LPS contamination of air pollution in lung diseases, exacerbation and anti-inflammatory drugs. 相似文献

The heat shock protein, HSP70, is over-expressed in many tumours and acts at the crossroads of key intracellular processes
in its role as a molecular chaperone. HSP70 associates with a vast array of peptides, some of which are antigenic and can
mount adaptive immune responses against the tumour from which they are derived. The pool of peptides associated with HSP70
represents a unique barcode of protein metabolism in tumour cells. With a view to identifying unique protein targets that
may be developed as tumour biomarkers, we used purified HSP70 and its associated peptide pool (HSP70–peptide complexes, HSP70-PCs)
from different human breast tumour cell lines as targets for phage display biopanning. Our results show that HSP70-PCs from
each cell line interact with unique sets of peptides within the phage display library. One of the peptides, termed IST, enriched
in the biopanning process, was used in a ‘pull-down’ assay to identify the original protein from which the HSP70-associated
peptides may have been derived. The eukaryotic translation initiation factor 3 (eIF-3), a member of the elongation factor
EF1α family, and the HSP GRP78, were pulled down by the IST peptide. All of these proteins are known to be up-regulated in
cancer cells. Immunohistochemical staining of tumour tissue microarrays showed that the peptide co-localised with HSP70 in
breast tumour tissue. The data indicate that the reservoir of peptides associated with HSP70 can act as a unique indicator
of cellular protein activity and a novel source of potential tumour biomarkers. 相似文献

Heparanase is an endo-β-glucuronidase that specifically cleaves heparan sulfate proteoglycans in the extracellular matrix. Expression of this enzyme is increased in several pathological conditions including inflammation. We have investigated the role of heparanase in pulmonary inflammation in the context of allergic and non-allergic pulmonary cell recruitment using heparanase knockout (Hpa-/-) mice as a model. Following local delivery of LPS or zymosan, no significant difference was found in the recruitment of neutrophils to the lung between Hpa-/- and wild type (WT) control. Similarly neutrophil recruitment was not inhibited in WT mice treated with a heparanase inhibitor. However, in allergic inflammatory models, Hpa-/- mice displayed a significantly reduced eosinophil (but not neutrophil) recruitment to the airways and this was also associated with a reduction in allergen-induced bronchial hyperresponsiveness, indicating that heparanase expression is associated with allergic reactions. This was further demonstrated by pharmacological treatment with a heparanase inhibitor in the WT allergic mice. Examination of lung specimens from patients with different severity of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) found increased heparanase expression. Thus, it is established that heparanase contributes to allergen-induced eosinophil recruitment to the lung and could provide a novel therapeutic target for the development of anti-inflammatory drugs for the treatment of asthma and other allergic diseases. 相似文献

Dengue virus requires the presence of an unidentified cellular receptor on the surface of the host cell. By using a recently published affinity chromatography approach, an 84-kDa molecule, identified as heat shock protein 90 (HSP90) by matrix-assisted laser desorption ionization-time of flight mass spectrometry, was isolated from neuroblastoma and U937 cells. Based on the ability of HSP90 (84 kDa) to interact with HSP70 (74 kDa) on the surface of monocytes during lipopolysaccharide (LPS) signaling and evidence that LPS inhibits dengue virus infection, the presence of HSP70 was demonstrated in affinity chromatography eluates and by pull-down experiments. Infection inhibition assays support the conclusion that HSP90 and HSP70 participate in dengue virus entry as a receptor complex in human cell lines as well as in monocytes/macrophages. Additionally, our results indicate that both HSPs are associated with membrane microdomains (lipid rafts) in response to dengue virus infection. Moreover, methyl-beta-cyclodextrin, a raft-disrupting drug, inhibits dengue virus infection, supporting the idea that cholesterol-rich membrane fractions are important in dengue virus entry. 相似文献
