体外培养和冷冻保存对微囊化细胞生长和内皮抑素表达的影响

微囊化基因工程细胞移植治疗肿瘤是一种新兴的肿瘤治疗方法,如果将此技术应用到临床研究,就需要制备大量的细胞活性良好、重组蛋白表达量高的生物微胶囊。体外培养和冷冻保存是生物微胶囊制备过程中两个重要的环节,因此需要考察体外培养和冷冻保存对微囊化重组基因细胞生长和蛋白表达的影响。以重组CHO细胞为模型,考察了体外培养时间和冷冻保存对微囊化细胞在动物体内生长和内皮抑素表达的影响及体外培养时间对微囊化细胞冷冻保存的影响。结果表明:体外培养时间对微囊化细胞在动物体内生长、内皮抑素表达和微囊稳定性具有较大的影响,体外不培养和培养4d的微囊化细胞在小鼠腹腔内生长良好、内皮抑素表达量高,并且微囊稳定性好,而体外培养8d的微囊化细胞在移植后的第26天破裂。体外培养时间对微囊化细胞冷冻保存也具有较大的影响,体外培养4d和8d的微囊化细胞在液氮中冷冻保存40d,复苏后细胞生长良好、内皮抑素表达量高,而冻存前未经过体外培养的微囊化细胞,复苏后细胞几乎全部死亡。综上所述,生物微胶囊在体外比较适宜的培养时间为4d。并且冷冻保存对微囊化细胞在动物体内生长、内皮抑素表达和微囊稳定性没有显著的影响。

空肠弯曲菌活而不可培养状态的产毒素能力及毒素基因表达的检测

目的 通过诱导空肠弯曲菌进入活的不可培养(VBNC)状态建立细胞学模型,用VeroE6细胞和HeLa细胞检测空肠弯曲菌产细胞膨胀性肠毒素(cytotoxic distendingtoxin,CDT)能力的改变,并在RNA水平上进一步验证毒素的表达。方法 采用4℃冷藏及-70℃冷冻的方法诱导空肠弯曲菌进入VBNC状态,利用细胞总数计算、活细胞染色计数及可培养细胞计数间接确证VBNC状态细菌的存在,细胞对于VBNC状态下的细菌仍然敏感,并用反转录-聚合酶链反应(RT-PCR)证实空肠弯曲菌毒素基因的表达。结果 3种不同状态的细胞计数结果表明存活细胞进入了VBNC状态,细菌经4℃冷藏及-70℃冷冻后数量减少约1个数量级,在冷冻前,细菌对细胞毒性较强,72h时70%以上细胞凋亡,冷冻后的VBNC状态细菌对VeroE6和HeLa细胞的生长仍有影响,72h时约有40%细胞进入凋亡状态。结论 低温、贫养条件下空肠弯曲菌可进入VBNC状态,用常规传统的羊血平板培养基仅能使不到10%的空肠弯曲菌复苏生长,从而可以检测,在VBNC状态时,空肠弯曲菌产毒素能力改变较大,远远低于正常状态,但仍具备产毒素的能力,也从RNA水平实验得到证实。

Protein Kinase Inhibitors Inhibit Stimulation of Inositol Phospholipid Turnover and Induction of Phenylalanine Ammonia-Lyase in Fungal Elicitor-Treated Tobacco Suspension Culture Cells

Elicitor prepared from Phytophthora nicotianae stimulated inositolphospholipid turnover and induced phenylalanine ammonia-lyaseactivity in tobacco suspension culture cells [Kamada and Muto(1994) Plant Cell Physiol. 35: 397]. Protein kinase inhibitors,K252a and staurosporine inhibited both responses. These resultssuggest that inositol phospholipid turnover plays an importantrole in PAL induction through protein kinases. In addition,their mode of inhibition were different, proposing that severaltypes of protein kinases are involved in these elicitor-inducedresponses. ¹Present address: The Johns Hopkins University School of Hygieneand Public Health, 615 N.

The Institute of Protein Research of the Russian Academy of Sciences Is 50 Years Old

Here I introduce collection of review articles written by members of the Institute of Protein Research of the Russian Academy of Sciences. This collection commemorates the 50th anniversary of the Institute. The review articles cover a broad range of problems concerning the spatial structure of protein molecules, including the state of the molten globule, protein–RNA interactions, polysome and ribosome structure, the molecular colony method, and the original methods for studying the structure of proteins. Several of the reviews consider the practical use of knowledge about the structure of proteins and protein polymers. They reflect both the long experience of the authors and contemporary scientific data.     

The Interactions of Porcine and Ovine,Serum and Colostral Immunoglobulins with Staphylococcal Protein A

The purpose of these studies was to determine the proportion of each immunoglobulin class/subclass in blood and colostrum of the pig and sheep, which would bind to staphylococcal Protein A. The concentrations of porcine IgG, IgM, and IgA were determined for serum and colostral whey from five sows. Similar measurements were made on two fractions produced by elution of the sample through a Protein A-Sepharose column: fraction 1, immunoglobulins which did not bind to Protein A, and fraction 2, immunoglobulins which bound to Protein A. The concentrations of ovine IgG₁, IgG₂, IgM, and IgA were measured for serum and colostral whey from six ewes, and again similar measurements were made after elution of each ovine sample through Protein A-Sepharose. All classes/subclasses of porcine and ovine serum and colostral immunoglobulins bound to Protein A to some extent. More than 90% of IgG from both porcine colostral whey and serum bound to Protein A. Ovine IgG₁ from most ewes possessed a low affinity for Protein A whereas ovine IgG₂ generally possessed a high affinity; 100% of the IgG₂ in ovine colostral whey samples bound to Protein A. There was remarkable variation between individuals in the binding capacity of porcine IgM and each of the ovine immunoglobulins. For the ovine samples, in particular there were distinct differences between Protein A binding capacity of serum and colostral immunoglobulins of the same class/subclass.

Identification in various chlorate-resistant mutants of a protein involved in the activation of nitrate reductase in the soluble fraction of a chlA mutant of Escherichia coli K-12

We report some properties of Protein PA which has been isolated from the soluble fraction of a chlB mutant after anaerobic growth in the presence of KNO₃. This protein has been identified by its capacity to reactivate nitrate reductase present in the soluble fraction of a chlA mutant by the complementation process. The presence of active Protein PA in the chlB mutant is independent of the presence of oxygen or of nitrate during growth. In contrast, the addition of sodium tungstate to the growth medium leads to the formation of inactive Protein PA which is not able to activate nitrate reductase in the chlA-soluble extract by complementation. Inactive Protein PA has been quantitated immunologically. The partial purification of Protein PA has been achieved from various chlorate-resistant mutants (chlA?chlG). The establishment of particular complementation systems comprising the soluble extracts of chlA or chlB mutants and partially purified Protein PA from soluble fractions of different chlorate-resistant mutants, has allowed the quantitative estimation of this protein. The analysis by ‘rocket immunoelectrophoresis’ using an antiserum specific for Protein PA has shown that inactive Protein PA is present in approximately equivalent amounts in the chlA, chlE, chlG and chlD mutants
