Nutrient overload leads to obesity, insulin resistance, and often type 2 diabetes. Whereas increased fat intake is commonly cited as the major factor in diet-induced dysmetabolic states, increased protein consumption also contributes, through elevated circulating amino acids. Recent studies have revealed that ribosomal protein S6 kinase 1, S6K1, an effector of mTOR, is sensitive to both insulin and nutrients, including amino acids. Although S6K1 is an effector of growth, recent reports show that amino acids also negatively affect insulin signaling through mTOR/S6K1 phosphorylation of IRS1. Moreover, rather than signaling through the class 1 PI3K pathway, amino acids appear to mediate mTOR activation through class 3 PI3K, or hVps34. Consistent with this, infusion of amino acids into humans leads to S6K1 activation, inhibition of insulin-induced class 1 PI3K activation, and insulin resistance. Thus, S6K1 may mediate deleterious effects, like insulin resistance, and potentially type 2 diabetes in the face of nutrient excess. 相似文献

Genetic variation in RPS6KA1, RPS6KA2, RPS6KB1, RPS6KB2, and PDK1 and risk of colon or rectal cancer
RPS6KA1, RPS6KA2, RPS6KB1, RPS6KB2, and PDK1 are involved in several pathways central to the carcinogenic process, including regulation of cell growth, insulin, and inflammation. We evaluated genetic variation in their candidate genes to obtain a better understanding of their association with colon and rectal cancer. We used data from two population-based case-control studies of colon (n=1574 cases, 1940 controls) and rectal (n=791 cases, 999 controls) cancer. We observed genetic variation in RPS6KA1, RPS6KA2, and PRS6KB2 were associated with risk of developing colon cancer while only genetic variation in RPS6KA2 was associated with altering risk of rectal cancer. These genes also interacted significantly with other genes operating in similar mechanisms, including Akt1, FRAP1, NFκB1, and PIK3CA. Assessment of tumor markers indicated that these genes and this pathway may importantly contributed to CIMP+ tumors and tumors with KRAS2 mutations. Our findings implicate these candidate genes in the etiology of colon and rectal cancer and provide information on how these genes operate with other genes in the pathway. Our data further suggest that this pathway may lead to CIMP+ and KRAS2-mutated tumors. 相似文献

Purin-6-yl 6-deoxy-1-thio-beta-D-glucopyranoside (4) is a substrate for almond beta-glucosidase and a weak competitive inhibitor of bovine liver beta-D-glucuronidase (Ki approximately 20mM). Both 4 and purine-protonated 4 undergo hydrolysis catalyzed by dilute acid in the pH range 0.17-2.59. These results are compared with those previously obtained with ammonium (purin-6-yl 1-thio-beta-D-glucopyranosid)uronate, (purin-6-yl 1-thio-beta-D-glucopyranosid)uronamide, purin-6-yl 1-thio-beta-D-glucopyranoside, and purin-6-yl 2-deoxy-1-thio-beta-D-glucopyranoside, and it is concluded that the data support an involvement of substituents at C-5 in producing productive Michaelis-complex conformers. The 6-deoxyglucoside is more active than the D-glucosiduronic acid in an L1210 mouse screen. 相似文献

Partially deuteriated 1,5,6,6-(2)H(4)-d-glucose and 1(I),1(II),5(I),5(II),6(I),6(I),6(II),6(II)-(2)H(8)-d-cellobiose were synthesized in high yields and on a large scale from d-glucose. (2)H enrichment at C-5 and C-6 of each glucopyranosyl unit in excess of 85% and 90%, respectively, was realized by (1)H-(2)H exchange in (2)H(2)O containing deuteriated Raney Ni. Nucleophilic addition of LiAlD(4) to 5,6,6-(2)H(3)-2,3,4,6-tetra-O-benzyl-d-gluconolactone led to a 98% (2)H enrichment at C-1. Deuteriated cellobiose is of interest as building block for the synthesis of a model compound of cellulose I. 相似文献

The level and range transposition of the transposons Tn6-1, Tn6-2, Tn19-1, and their ability to influence plasmid transfer has been studied. The widest range of transposition was shown for transposon Tn6-2. Insertions of each of the studied transposons into different conjugative plasmids genomes resulted in change of frequencies of plasmids transfer and change of plasmids mobilization activity. 相似文献

The preparation of 6,6,1',1',6',6'-hexadeutero sucrose is reported. The synthesis is based on a triple oxidation of a protected sucrose 6,1',6'-triol to the corresponding 6,1',6'-tricarboxylic acid or ester, followed by reduction with lithium aluminium deuteride. This triple oxidation could be achieved either using cat. TEMPO-NaOCl (to the acid) or PDC-Ac(2)O-t-BuOH (to the t-butyl carboxylic ester). 相似文献

We have previously reported the TLR4 expression in human intestinal lymphatic vessels. In the study here, microarray analysis showed the expression of the TLR4, MD-2, CD14, MyD88, TIRAP, TRAM, IRAK1, and TRAF6 genes in cultured human neonatal dermal lymphatic microvascular endothelial cells (LEC). The microarray analysis also showed that LEC expressed genes of IL-6, IL-8, VCAM-1, and ICAM-1, and the real-time quantitative PCR analysis showed that mRNA production was increased by lipopolysaccharide (LPS). The LPS-induced IL-6, IL-8, VCAM-1, and ICAM-1 production in LEC was suppressed by the introduction of TLR4-specific small interfering RNA, and also by anti-TLR4, nobiletin, and CAPE pretreatment. These findings suggest that LEC has TLR4-mediated LPS recognition mechanisms that involve at least activation of NF-kappaB, resulting in increased expression of IL-6, IL-8, VCAM-1, and ICAM-1. Both the LPS effect on the gene expression and also the suppression by nobiletin and CAPE pretreatment on the protein production were larger in IL-6 and in VCAM-1 than in IL-8 and in ICAM-1 in LEC. The signal transduction of NF-kappaB and AP-1-dependent pathway may be more critical for the expression of IL-6 and VCAM-1 than that of IL-8 and ICAM-1 in LEC. 相似文献

Aminopeptidase regulator of TNFR1 shedding (ARTS-1) binds to the type I tumor necrosis factor receptor (TNFR1) and promotes receptor shedding. Because hydroxamic acid-based metalloprotease inhibitors prevent shedding of both TNFR1 and the interleukin-6 receptor (IL-6Ralpha), we hypothesized that ARTS-1 might also regulate shedding of IL-6Ralpha, a member of the type I cytokine receptor superfamily that is structurally different from TNFR1. Reciprocal co-immunoprecipitation experiments identified that membrane-associated ARTS-1 directly binds to a 55-kDa IL-6Ralpha, a size consistent with soluble IL-6Ralpha generated by ectodomain cleavage of the membrane-bound receptor. Furthermore, ARTS-1 promoted IL-6Ralpha shedding, as demonstrated by a direct correlation between increased membrane-associated ARTS-1 protein, increased IL-6Ralpha shedding, and decreased membrane-associated IL-6Ralpha in cell lines overexpressing ARTS-1. The absence of basal IL-6Ralpha shedding from arts-1 knock-out cells identified that ARTS-1 was required for constitutive IL-6Ralpha shedding. Furthermore, the mechanism of constitutive IL-6Ralpha shedding requires ARTS-1 catalytic activity. Thus, ARTS-1 promotes the shedding of two cytokine receptor superfamilies, the type I cytokine receptor superfamily (IL-6Ralpha) and the TNF receptor superfamily (TNFR1). We propose that ARTS-1 is a multifunctional aminopeptidase that may modulate inflammatory events by promoting IL-6Ralpha and TNFR1 shedding. 相似文献

Fission yeast Scd1 is an exchange factor for Cdc42 and an effector of Ras1. In a screen for scd1 interacting genes, we isolated klp5 and klp6, which encode presumptive kinesins. Klp5 and Klp6 form a complex to control the same processes, which so far include microtubule dynamics and chromosome segregation. We showed that klp5 or klp6 inactivation in combination with the scd1 deletion (scd1delta) created a synthetic temperature-dependent growth defect. Further genetic analysis demonstrated that Klp5 and Klp6 interacted specifically with the Ras1-Scd1 pathway, but not with the Ras1-Byr2 pathway. In addition, Klp5 and Klp6 can stably associate with Scd1 and Cdc42. A deletion in the Scd1 C terminus, which contains the PB1 domain, prevented Scd1 binding to Klp5/6 and caused a growth defect in Klp5/6 mutant cells that is indistinguishable from that induced by scd1delta. Analysis of the double-mutant phenotype indicated that at the nonpermissive temperature, cells failed to undergo cytokinesis efficiently. These cells contained abnormal contractile rings in which F-actin and Mid1, a key regulator of F-actin ring formation and positioning, are mispositioned and fragmented. These data suggest that Klp5/6 cooperate with the Ras1-Scd1 pathway to influence proper formation of the contractile ring for cytokinesis. 相似文献

In the last three years a considerable amount of interest has been shown in the biosynthesis and pharmacological activity of a novel metabolite of prostacyclin (PGI2) called 6-keto-prostaglandin-E1 (6-keto-PGE1). The possibility that biosynthesis of 6-keto-PGE1 may contribute to some of the biological effects of either injected or endogenous prostacyclin has been suggested by several studies. The purpose of the present article is to review the information currently available concerning the biochemistry and pharmacology of 6-keto-PGE1. 相似文献

Some pharmacological actions of prostaglandin E1 (PGE1), 6-oxo-PGE1 and PGI2 have been studied. 6-oxo-PGE1 and PGE1 relaxed guinea-pig tracheal muscle in vitro and increased nasal patency in normal volunteers and in subjects with vasomotor rhinitis whereas PGI2 produced opposite effects. All three compounds produced bronchodilatation in the anaesthetised guinea-pig and relaxed human respiratory tract muscle in vitro. PGI2 was several times more potent than either 6-oxo-PGE1 or PGE1 against ADP-induced aggregation of human and baboon platelets in vitro. Intravenous 6-oxo-PGE1 in the baboon caused an ex vivo inhibition of platelet aggregation, but the EC50 was 7.7 times that of PGI2. As a vasodepressor in the baboon 6-oxo-PGE1 and PGI2 were equipotent. Thus with the exception of the vasodepressor effect, the actions of 6-oxo-PGE1 qualitatively and quantitatively resembled those of the structurally related PGE1 rather than those of PGI2. 相似文献

1,2,3,2',3',4',6'-Hepta-O-acetyl-beta-lactose (4) was coupled with 2,3,6,2',3',4',6'-hepta-O-acetyl-alpha-lactosyl bromide (7) in the presence of Hg(CN)2 to afford 1,2,3,2',3',4',6'-hepta-O-acetyl-6-O-(2,3,6,2',3',4',6'-hepta-O-acetyl-b eta- lactosyl)-beta-lactose (11) which, upon O-deacetylation, gave 6-O-beta-lactosyl-alpha,beta-lactoses (64% from 4). In contrast, the reaction of 7 with benzyl 2,3,2',3',4',6'-hexa-O-acetyl-beta-lactoside in the presence of Hg(CN)2 produced 3,6,2',3',4',6'-hexa-O-acetyl-1,2-O- (2,3,2',3',4',6'-hexa-O-acetyl-1-O-benzyl-beta-lactos-6-yl orthoacetyl)-alpha-lactose (63%) and 3,6,2',3',4',6'-hexa-O-acetyl-1,2-O-(1- cyanoethylidene)-alpha-lactose (27%). The glycosidation of 4 using 2,3,4,6-tetra-O-acetyl-alpha-D-galactopyranosyl bromide in the presence of Hg(CN)2 afforded, after deprotection, 4,6-di-O-beta-D-galactopyranosyl-alpha,beta-D-glucoses (66%). The reaction of 11 with 1,2-di-O-benzyl-(R,S)-glycerols and trimethylsilyl trifluoromethanesulfonate yielded, after deprotection, 1-O-(6-O-beta-lactosyl-beta-lactosyl)-(R,S)-glycerols (18%). Under the same coupling conditions 11 reacted with 2-O-benzylglycerol to form 3-O-acetyl-2-O-benzyl-1-O-[2',3',4',6'-hexa-O-acetyl-6-O-(2,3,6,2',3',4' ,6'- hepta-O-acetyl-beta-lactosyl)-beta-lactosyl]-(R,S)-glycerols (16%). 相似文献
