该文采用Western blot技术检测人食管癌EC109细胞、鼻咽癌CNE2细胞和宫颈癌HeLa细胞Ezrin蛋白的表达:采用DNA片段定向克隆技术构建一系列携带ezrin基因增强子区-1541/-706序列的报告基因表达载体,将载体瞬时转染EC109、CNE2和HeLa细胞,检测荧光素酶活性;研究肿瘤细胞中ezrin基因增强子区的转录调控特性。实验结果显示,在被检测的三种肿瘤细胞中,Ezfin蛋白的表达水平没有明显不同。Ec109细胞中,当ezrin基因-1541/-706N段正向位于无启动子的报告基因上游时,表现出类似启动子的转录激活作用:当这一片段反向连接时转录激活作用几乎消失。当-1541/-706片段正向位于ezrin启动子或SV40启动子上游时,显著增强荧光素酶表达;然而,当这一片段反向位于启动子上游以及正向或反向位于启动子控制的报告基因下游时,转录增强作用消失。ezrin基因-1541/-706N段在CNE2和HeLa细胞中的转录调控作用,与其在EC109细胞中的转录调控作用部分相似,但不完全相同。结果表明,ezrin基因增强子区具有转录激活和转录增强双重作用,这种作用具有DNA序列位置和方向依赖性以及细胞特异性。 相似文献

Two distinct action mechanisms of immunophilin-ligand complexes for the blockade of T-cell activation 下载免费PDF全文
The immunosuppressive effects of cyclosporin A (CsA) and FK506 are mediated through binding to immunophilins. Here we show that FK506–FKBP complex suppresses the activation of JNK and p38 pathways at a level upstream of mitogen-activated protein kinase (MAPK) kinase kinase (MAPKK-K) besides the calcineurin–NFAT pathway. A238L, a viral gene product that binds to immunophilin, also blocks activation of both pathways. In contrast, direct inhibitors of calcineurin, Cabin 1 and FR901725, suppress the activation of NFAT but not the JNK or p38 pathway. We further demonstrate that co-expression of a constitutively active NFAT and a constitutively active MEKK1 renders the interleukin-2 promoter in Jurkat T lymphocytes resistant to CsA and FK506, whereas Jurkat cells expressing a constitutively active NFAT alone are still sensitive to CsA or FK506. Therefore, CsA and FK506 exert their immunosuppressive effects through targeting both the calcineurin-dependent NFAT pathway and calcineurin-independent activation pathway for JNK and p38. 相似文献

Calcineurin (CN) is thought to play an important role in the immune system by regulating cytokine production, for example, interleukin-2 (IL-2) in T-lymphocytes. We have previously shown that physiological concentrations of Zn2+ inhibit CN activity in vitro [K. Takahashi, E. Akaishi, Y. Abe, R. Ishikawa, S. Tanaka, K. Hosaka, Y. Kubohara, Zinc inhibits calcineurin activity in vitro by competing with nickel, Biochem. Biophys. Res. Commun. 307 (2003) 64-68], in spite of the fact that Zn2+ is an essential element of the CN catalytic domain. In this study, in order to assess whether Zn2+ regulates (suppresses) CN activity in vivo and whether Zn2+ can be used as an anti-inflammatory and/or immunosuppressive drug, we examined the effects of Zn2+ on IL-2 production induced by the mitogen, concanavalin A (ConA), in Jurkat T-cells. Zn2+ at 0.2 mM suppressed ConA-induced IL-2 accumulation in the medium of an in vitro culture of Jurkat cells. Zn2+ at 0.03-0.3 mM dose-dependently suppressed ConA-induced IL-2 mRNA expression in Jurkat cells. Zn2+ also suppressed IL-2 mRNA expression induced by phorbol ester (PMA) and ionomycin. Furthermore, Zn2+ and the immunosuppressant FK506 showed an additive inhibitory effect on ConA-induced IL-2 mRNA expression. These results suggest that exogenously added Zn2+ may disturb (increase) the intracellular Zn2+ concentration and inhibit CN activity, thereby suppressing IL-2 production in Jurkat cells. The present study further indicates that Zn2+ may have therapeutic potential in the treatment of T-cell related inflammation and also that Zn2+ may be utilized as a supplemental drug with FK506. 相似文献

In order to discover novel immunomodulators for application in treating autoimmune diseases, a stable Jurkat transfectant was constructed in which luciferase reporter gene is driven by a full-length IL-2 promotor. A chemical library was screened to identify compounds that inhibited luciferase expression in Jurkat transfectants stimulated with PMA and ionomycin. A class of compounds (bis-trifluoromethyl pyrazole, BTPs) was identified from this screen. BTPs were shown to inhibit anti-CD3 and anti-CD28 antibody-induced IL-2 secretion, mixed lymphocyte reaction, and Con A-induced T cell proliferation in normal human peripheral blood T cells. In addition, mRNA levels of IL-4, IL-5, IL-9, IL-10, IL-13, IL-15, and IFN-gamma were markedly inhibited by BTPs in peripheral blood mononuclear cells stimulated by Con A as determined by multi-probe RNA protection assay. Furthermore, IL-2, IL-4, IL-5, and IFN-gamma secretion by Hut 78 cells or CD3(+) T cells stimulated with PMA plus ionomycin or anti-CD3 antibody plus PMA were inhibited in a concentration-dependent manner by BTPs. Therefore, BTPs inhibit a wide spectrum of cytokine production including TH1 and TH2 type cytokines. Taken together, these compounds may be useful for treating autoimmune diseases and organ transplant rejection. 相似文献

Distinct mechanisms of suppression of murine T cell activation by the related macrolides FK-506 and rapamycin. 总被引:40,自引:0,他引:40

FK-506 and the structurally related macrolide rapamycin (RAP) were investigated in comparison with cyclosporin A (CsA) for their immunosuppressive effects on murine T cells. All three agents suppressed the proliferation of splenic T cells triggered by lectins or antibodies to CD3 and Ly-6C. FK-506 or CsA also inhibited proliferation, IL-2 production, and IL-2R expression in splenic T cells activated with ionomycin + PMA. However, RAP minimally affected IL-2 production and IL-2R expression in these cells, although it reduced proliferation. Similarly, FK-506 and CsA, but not RAP, suppressed IL-2 production by activated DO.11.10 T hybridoma cells. In such a system, as well as in normal T cells stimulated with high ionomycin concentrations, FK-506 and CsA enhanced proliferation, indicating that they both abrogate negative signals associated with T cell activation. On the contrary, RAP diminished the autonomous proliferation of hybridoma cells, whereas FK-506 and CsA had little effect. The proliferative response induced in D10.G4 cells by IL-1 + ionomycin but not that induced by IL-1 + PMA was sensitive to inhibition by FK-506 and CsA. In contrast, RAP inhibited equally well both types of stimulation. Finally, T cell proliferation driven by IL-2 or IL-4 was found to be relatively resistant to FK-506 or CsA but sensitive to RAP. Altogether, these data demonstrate that FK-506 and CsA alter similar calcium-associated events of T cell activation and block T cell proliferation primarily by suppressing lymphokine production. RAP interferes with a different set of events and inhibits T cells by impairing their response to growth-promoting lymphokines. 相似文献
