【目的】研究支原体对体外培养细胞基因功能的影响。【方法】利用si RNA抑制DNA双链损伤修复关键基因——FIGNL1在无支原体感染、感染猪鼻支原体及清除支原体污染后的人小细胞肺癌细胞株NCI-H446与NCI-H1688中的表达后,采用定量PCR、流式细胞术等方法检测支原体感染对宿主细胞目标基因表达、细胞周期等影响。【结果】虽然猪鼻支原体感染对si RNA沉默FIGNL1表达无显著影响,无支原体感染及清除支原体污染的H1688和H446细胞FIGNL1表达沉默后,与仅加转染试剂的空白组(mock)相比较,靶标FIGNL1基因的实验组(T1)和阴性对照组(nc)的S期细胞比例均未发生显著变化。但猪鼻支原体感染的H1688和H446细胞相对于空白组,实验组与阴性对照组的S期细胞比例,H1688细胞提高了约1.38倍和0.51倍,H446细胞提高了约1.27倍和0.55倍。【结论】推测由于支原体会对宿主细胞DNA造成损伤,而FIGNL1是DNA双链断裂损伤修复的重要基因,从而导致沉默猪鼻支原体感染的H1688和H446细胞FIGNL1表达时,细胞会出现S期阻滞。鉴于支原体感染对细胞有广泛、显著的影响,在基因功能、肿瘤等细胞生物学研究中,应予以高度重视。 相似文献

Evidence of Mycoplasma hyorhinis infection in human gastric cancer tissues has been found in previous work. In this study, we demonstrate that the expression of p37, a membrane lipoprotein of M. hyorhinis, in mammalian cells induces antisenescence, enhances clonogenicity in soft agar, and co-operates with human epidermal growth factor receptor-related 2 to inhibit cell adhesion. Conversely, truncated p37 protein, with the first 28 amino acids deleted from its N terminal, promotes cell senescence. Taken together, our findings suggest that p37 promotes malignant changes in mammalian cells. With the identification of this molecular component, which is responsible for mycoplasma malignancy-promoting activity, it is possible that a better understanding of the relationship between M. hyorhinis infection and human gastric cancers will lead to novel diagnostics and therapeutics. 相似文献

Infection with mycoplasma is a common problem in cell cultures, with Mycoplasma hyorhinis being the predominant species. Here we investigate the effect of M. hyorhinis infection on L-arginine metabolism, with focus on iNOS-mediated NO synthesis in murine keratinocytes and the human colon cancer cell line DLD-1. iNOS and arginase are L-arginine-metabolizing enzymes involved in the regulation of inflammatory processes, with NO contributing to innate immunity. In murine cells, M. hyorhinis infection enhances cytokine-induced iNOS expression and augments iNOS activity, whereas in the absence of cytokines it causes de novo induction of iNOS mRNA without subsequent translation into iNOS protein. In turn, arginase-1 mRNA expression is diminished in M. hyorhinis-infected murine keratinocytes, resulting in decreased arginase activity. One of the underlying upstream mechanisms is NF-kappaB activation. In contrast, in human cells neither iNOS mRNA nor protein expression is affected by M. hyorhinis infection, but NO synthesis is enhanced, which may be caused by increased L-arginine import. This demonstrates that infection with M. hyorhinis leads to different effects on gene regulation of the murine and human iNOS gene. Our study underlines the importance of routine checking of cell cultures for mycoplasma contamination, particularly in studies on NO-mediated effects or inflammatory processes. 相似文献

An easy, rapid tissue culture method for detection of Mycoplasma hyorhinis is described. The organism induces morphological changes in mink S + L - cells. This effect was not observed in eight other animal cell lines infected by M. hyorhinis and it did not occur in the mink cells infected with six other strains of mycoplasma. This cell system should be useful in research laboratories which do not have other standard techniques available for monitoring the presence of M. hyorhinis. 相似文献

S ummary : Tracheal organ cultures were made from 2–3 week old pigs. Tracheal rings were used to assess the pathogenicity of Mycoplasma hyopneumoniae, M. hyorhinis, M. granularum and M. hyosynoviae. Both serum-resistant and serum-sensitive strains of M. hyorhinis had a marked effect on ciliary activity and caused necrosis of the epithelium. Mycoplasma granularum and M. hyosynoviae caused cessation of ciliary movement, but to a less extent, and necrosis did not occur. With M. hyopneumoniae , the infected organ cultures survived longer than the control cultures. 相似文献

Eighteen strains of Mycoplasma hyorhinis and a strain of Mycoplasma suipneumoniae were tested in 4 serological tests, i. e., disc growth inhibition, metabolic inhibition, indirect haemagglutination and indirect epi-immunofluorescence. Only with immunofluorescence could all tested strains of M. hyorhinis be shown; no cross-reactions between M. hyorhinis and M. suipneumoniae could be detected. The other tests failed in many cases to identify strains of the same species, and they gave cross-reactions between M. hyorhinis and M. suipneumoniae. 相似文献

Monoclonal antibodies to Mycoplasma hyorhinis surface antigens: tools for analyzing mycoplasma-lymphoid cell interactions 总被引:5,自引:0,他引:5
A library has been constructed of approximately 50 monoclonal antibodies that recognize antigens of Mycoplasma hyorhinis. Characteristics of six antibodies are discussed. Each reacts with a discrete determinant borne on a protein-containing molecule of distinct molecular size. Three of these respective antigens are expressed at the surface of mycoplasmas colonizing lymphoblastoid cells in culture. Of these three surface antigens, two are selectively expressed on strain GDL but not on strain BTS-7 of M. hyorhinis, thus defining strain-restricted immunological specificities within these species. One monoclonal antibody of the IgM class (mu, kappa) mediated marked complement-dependent growth inhibition of M. hyorhinis in broth culture. These monoclonal reagents should facilitate analysis of mycoplasma surface architecture, and the molecular interactions of these organisms with the host cell surface. 相似文献

It was previously shown (Paddenberg et al (1996) Eur J Cell Biol 69, 105 - 119) that cells of established lines like NIH3T3 fibroblasts and the human pancreatic adenocarcinoma PaTu 8902 line only degrade their chromatin at internucleosomal sites after an apoptotic stimulus when infected with Mycoplasma hyorhinis. In order to distinguish mycoplasma nucleases (Mr 47 - 54 kDa) from already described eukaryotic apoptotic enzymes, the mycoplasma nucleases were partially purified from serum-free culture supernatants and further characterized. Here we demonstrate directly that the enriched mycoplasma nucleases were able to fragment the DNA of nuclease-negative substrate nuclei at internucleosomal sites. The DNA degradation was accompanied by morphological changes typical of apoptosis like chromatin condensation and margination followed by shrinkage of the nuclei. The biochemical characterization revealed that the mycoplasma nucleases had a neutral to weakly basic pH-optimum. They required both calcium and magnesium in the mM range for maximal activation and were inhibited by zinc chloride, EGTA and EDTA. In two dimensional zymograms they migrated as three spots with isoelectic points between 8.1 and 9.5. They were not inhibited by monomeric actin. Our data also demonstrate that nuclear extracts prepared from nuclei isolated from Mycoplasma hyorhinis infected cells contained the mycoplasma nuclease activities leading to their internucleosomal DNA-degradation after incubation in the presence of calcium and magnesium. 相似文献

Transformation of Mycoplasma pulmonis and Mycoplasma hyorhinis: transposition of Tn916 and formation of cointegrate structures 总被引:5,自引:0,他引:5
A procedure for transformation of the murine pathogen Mycoplasma pulmonis with plasmid pAM120 was developed. This plasmid replicates in Escherichia coli and contains the gram-positive transposon Tn916. The transformation protocol also proved effective for the swine pathogen Mycoplasma hyorhinis. The tetracycline resistance determinant of Tn916 was expressed in transformed myocoplasma cells, and Tn916 was found inserted into numerous sites in the recipient chromosomes of M. pulmonis and M. hyorhinis, indicating that transposition had occurred. Interestingly, some transformants of M. pulmonis and M. hyorhinis contained cointegrate structures which apparently had a complete copy of the entire donor plasmid (pAM120) inserted into the recipient chromosome. Subsequent transposition of inserted Tn916 was observed in passaged clones of transformed M. pulmonis. 相似文献

FS9 mouse sarcoma cells were previously shown to be highly invasive when confronted with chicken heart fibroblasts using Abercrombie's confronted explant technique. This invasion could be inhibited by addition to the assay of Fab fragments of a monoclonal antibody directed against p37, a protein associated with the surface of FS9 cells. We have cloned and sequenced the gene for p37. We show that it originates from Mycoplasma hyorhinis and that UGA is a tryptophan codon in this organism. We present evidence that the p37 gene is part of an operon encoding two additional proteins which are highly similar to components of the periplasmic binding-protein-dependent transport systems of Gram-negative bacteria, and we suggest that p37 is part of a homologous, high-affinity transport system in M. hyorhinis, a Gram-positive bacterium. We discuss the influence of p37 and M. hyorhinis on contact inhibition of locomotion of mammalian cells. 相似文献

Infection of cell cultures by mycoplasmas can be detected and the mycoplasma identified by Southern blot hybridization of the Eco RI-digested DNA of the suspected cell cultures with a nick-translated probe consisting of cloned ribosomal RNA genes of Mycoplasma capricolum. The probe does not hybridize with eukaryotic DNA. The hybridization pattern with mycoplasmal DNA is species specific, enabling the identification of the four most prevalent mycoplasma contaminants, Mycoplasma orale, Mycoplasma hyorhinis, Mycoplasma arginini, and Acholeplasma laidlawii. The test is also very sensitive and can detect as little as 1 ng of mycoplasmal DNA, roughly equivalent to the DNA content of 10(5) mycoplasmas. 相似文献

In the present paper we demonstrate that the cytostatic and antiviral activity of pyrimidine nucleoside analogues is markedly decreased by a Mycoplasma hyorhinis infection and show that the phosphorolytic activity of the mycoplasmas is responsible for this. Since mycoplasmas are (i) an important cause of secondary infections in immunocompromised (e.g. HIV infected) patients and (ii) known to preferentially colonize tumour tissue in cancer patients, catabolic mycoplasma enzymes may compromise efficient chemotherapy of virus infections and cancer. In the genome of M. hyorhinis, a TP (thymidine phosphorylase) gene has been annotated. This gene was cloned, expressed in Escherichia coli and kinetically characterized. Whereas the mycoplasma TP efficiently catalyses the phosphorolysis of thymidine (Km=473 μM) and deoxyuridine (Km=578 μM), it prefers uridine (Km=92 μM) as a substrate. Our kinetic data and sequence analysis revealed that the annotated M. hyorhinis TP belongs to the NP (nucleoside phosphorylase)-II class PyNPs (pyrimidine NPs), and is distinct from the NP-II class TP and NP-I class UPs (uridine phosphorylases). M. hyorhinis PyNP also markedly differs from TP and UP in its substrate specificity towards therapeutic nucleoside analogues and susceptibility to clinically relevant drugs. Several kinetic properties of mycoplasma PyNP were explained by in silico analyses. 相似文献

Reiterated DNA sequences defining genomic diversity within the species Mycoplasma hyorhinis 总被引:7,自引:1,他引:7
Genomic restriction fragments isolated from Mycoplasma hyorhinis and Mycoplasma hyopneumoniae were shown by DNA hybridization and nucleotide sequence analyses to contain sequences common to these two species, as well as another porcine-derived mycoplasma, Mycoplasma flocculare. Intraspecies hybridization experiments using these fragments as probes indicated that the sequence is highly redundant in several strains of M. hyorhinis, but that there is diversity in the sizes of restriction fragments detected among these strains. In contrast, repetition of the sequence was limited in M. hyopneumoniae and M. flocculare, and no homologies to this repeated element were apparent in mycoplasma species isolated from animal hosts other than the swine. The reiterated sequence may reflect intraspecies genomic diversification in M. hyorhinis and its selective presence in otherwise unrelated species raises the possibility that it has been horizontally transmitted between these organisms. 相似文献

Infection of mycoplasmas has been linked to various human diseases including arthritis, pneumonia, infertility and cancer. While Mycoplasma hyorhinis and Mycoplasma fermentans have been detected in gastric adenocarcinomas, the mechanisms underlyine the pathogenesis are unknown. In this study, cell growth kinetics, Hoechst 33258 staining, DNA ladder assays, Western blotting analysis and cDNA microarray assays were performed to investigate the roles of M. hyorhinis and M. fermentans during infection of mammalian cells. Our data demonstrated that these mycoplasmas inhibid the growth of immortalised cell lines (32D and COS-7) ane tumor cell lines (HeLa and AGS). In addition, the infection of the 32D cell line with M. hyorhinis and M. fermentans induced compression of the nucleus, degradation of the cell genome and dysregulation of the expression of genes related to proliferation, apoptosis, tumorigenesis, signaling pathway and metabolism. Apoptosis related proteins Bcl-2, Bid and p53 were down-regulated, Fas was up-regulated and Bax was dysregulated in mycoplasma-infected 32D cells. Together, our data demonstrated that infection of mycoplasmas inhibitd cele growts through modification of gene expression profiles and post-translation modification of proliferation and apoptosis related proteins. 相似文献

HeLa cells sensitive to the mitochondrial protein synthesis inhibitors erythromycin (ERY) and chloramphenicol (CAP) and HeLa variants resistant to the effects of these drugs were purposefully infected with drug-sensitive and -resistant mycoplasma strains. Mycoplasma hyorhinis and the ERY-resistant strain of Mycoplasma orale, MO-ERYr, did not influence the growth of HeLa and ERY-resistant ERY2301 cells in the presence or absence of ERY. M. hyorhinis also did not affect the growth of HeLa and CAP-resistant Cap-2 cells in the presence or absence of CAP. However, both HeLa and Cap-2 cells infected with the CAP-resistant strain of M. hyorhinis, MH-CAPr, were more sensitive to the cytotoxic effect of CAP. This may be due to the glucose dependence of the cells, which was compromised by the increased utilization of glucose by MH-CAPr in these infected cell cultures. In vitro protein synthesis by isolated mitochondria was significantly altered by mycoplasma infection of the various cell lines. A substantial number of mycoplasmas copurified with the mitochondria, resulting in up to a sevenfold increase in the incorporation of [3H]leucine into the trichloroacetic acid-insoluble material. More importantly, the apparent drug sensitivity or resistance of mitochondrial preparations from mycoplasma-infected cells reflected the drug sensitivity or resistance of the contaminating mycoplasmas. These results illustrate the hazards in interpreting mitochondrial protein synthesis data derived from mycoplasma-infected cell lines, particularly putative mitochondrially encoded mutants resistant to inhibitors of mitochondrial protein synthesis. 相似文献

The DNAs of four Mycoplasma and one Acholeplasma species were found to contain methylated bases. All of the five species contained 6-methyladenine (m6Ade), the methylated base characteristic of prokaryotic DNA. The extent of methylation of adenine residues in the mycoplasmal DNA ranged from 0.2% in Mycoplasma capricolum to about 2% in Mycoplasma arginini and Mycoplasma hyorhinis with intermediate methylation values for Mycoplasma orale and Acholeplasma laidlawii DNAs. About 5.8% of the cytosine residues in M. hyorhinis DNA were methylated also. Analysis of cell culture DNA for the presence of m6Ade as a means for detection of contamination by mycoplasmas, and the phylogenetic implications of the finding of methylated bases in mycoplasmal DNAs are discussed. 相似文献

In an examination of conjunctival samples from 40 piglets for mycoplasmas, 17 isolates were obtained. Eight could be identified as Mycoplasma hyorhinis, three as Mycoplasma flocculare, and one as Acholenlasma sp. Five strains were not readily identifiable, but together with two previously recovered strains they were found to represent a distinct serogroup. All seven strains were glucose and phosphatase positive. Incubation in a CO2-enriched atmosphere led to enhancement of the growth on solid medium. The serogroup was serologically related to M. hyorhinis, but not to a number of other glucose fermenting species of mycoplasma, and it may therefore be regarded as a new subspecies of M. hyorhinis. 相似文献

Barile, Michael F. (Division of Biologics Standards, National Institutes of Health, Bethesda, Md.), Robert T. Schimke, and Donald B. Riggs. Presence of the arginine dihydrolase pathway in Mycoplasma. J. Bacteriol. 91:189-192. 1966.-The presence of the arginine dihydrolase pathway was examined in 61 Mycoplasma strains representing at least 18 Mycoplasma species isolated from nine different sources: human, bovine, avian, murine, swine, goat, canine, sewage, and tissue cell culture origin. Some species were represented by only one or two strains. Different strains of the same species gave the same results. Ten species (56%) were positive. Many nonpathogenic Mycoplasma species (M. hominis, type 1 and 2, M. fermentans, M. salivarium, and M. gallinarum) were positive, whereas most pathogenic species (M. pneumoniae, M. gallisepticum, M. neurolyticum, and M. hyorhinis) were negative. The presence of arginine dihydrolase activity among Mycoplasma species may prove to be useful for purposes of identification and classification. 相似文献
