CCR5基因转染对骨髓源神经干细胞生物学行为的影响

骨髓源神经千细胞（bonemarrow—derived neural stem cells,BM—NSCs）具有自我更新和分化为神经元与神经胶质细胞的潜能,可用于修复治疗多种神经系统退变与损伤性疾病。但由于其表面缺乏趋化因子受体,移植后向中枢病变部位迁移的速度较慢,疗效欠佳。该研究构建了趋化因子受体CCR5基因,并转染BM—NSCs,用免疫荧光细胞化学法、流式细胞胞仪法及Boyden小室细胞趋化实验,体外研究了CCR5高表达对BM-NSCs增殖、分化与迁移能力的影响。结果表明,CCR5高表达能显著增强BM．NSCs~O趋化能力,而不影响其自我更新和分化为神经元与神经胶质细胞的能力,说明其植入体内后可保持细胞替代与神经修复作用,并能快速大量迁移到病灶部位,显著增强疗效。

The biological activity in vivo of recombinant murine interleukin 1 in the rat

The present study summarizes the biological response of rats to infusion with recombinant murine IL-1 (rIL-1) cloned in Escherichia coli. Thirty-seven male rats (135-180 g) were infused over a 6-hr period with either 0.008 M guanidine hydrochloride (the vehicle) or E. coli product (both groups are controls) or 1000, 3750, 7500, 15,000, or 37,500 LAF units/hr of rIL-1. The controls and the group receiving 1000 LAF units/hr of rIL-1 did not exhibit a change in body temperature during the experiment. A mild fever was noted with 3750 LAF units/hr which became significantly elevated with 7500 and 15,000 LAF units/hr. At a dose of 37,500 LAF units/hr of rIL-1 (in 0.08 M guanidine hydrochloride) the rats became hypothermic and died. An equivalent dose of guanidine hydrochloride alone (0.08 M) was not fatally toxic although the rats did become hypothermic. Plasma zinc levels were significantly depressed and white blood cell count elevated at 6 hr postinfusion onset. Resting energy expenditure (REE) was significantly depressed during an infusion of 7500 and 15,000 LAF units/hr of rIL-1 despite a concurrent elevation in body temperature. Whole-body leucine kinetics were unchanged by infusion with rIL-1. Plasma fibrinogen and serum haptoglobin and copper levels were not altered by rIL-1. In conclusion, murine rIL-1 is similar to monocytic-derived IL-1 in that it produces a fever, hypozincemia, and leukocytosis; however, rIL-1 does not induce changes in protein metabolism.     

The induction of neovascularization in chorioallantoic membrane of chicken embryos transfected by a recombinant plasmid containing human angiogenin gene

A method was elaborated to evaluate the biological activity of expression products of gene in the plasmid vectors, which are crucial for the synthesis of growth factor of blood vessels. It was proven as possible that the chrioallantonic membrane (CAM) of chicken's embryos could be transfected by recombinant plasmids containing both the reporter and target genes. The efficiency of CAM transfection was assessed by a plasmid carrying the reporter gene of green fluorescent protein (GFP). Finally, it was demonstrated that, at an infiltration of the recombinant plasmid containing the human angiogenine gene, its expression products induce the neovascularization in the CAM cells of chicken's embryos and stimulate an accretion in vessels of the 1st, 2nd and 3d orders.

Preparation of recombinant rat eosinophil-associated ribonuclease-1 and -2 and analysis of their biological activities

Rat eosinophils contain eosinophil-associated ribonucleases (Ears) in their granules. Ears are thought to be synthesized as pre-forms and stored in the granules as mature forms. However, the N-terminal amino acid of mature Ear-1 and Ear-2 is still controversial. Therefore, we prepared two recombinant mature forms of Ear-1 and Ear-2 in which the N-terminal amino acids are Ser24 (S) [Ear-1 (S) and Ear-2 (S)] and Gln26 (Q) [Ear-1 (Q) and Ear-2 (Q)], and analyzed their biological activities by comparing them with those of pre-form Ear-1 and pre-form Ear-2. The four mature Ears showed RNase A activity as well as bovine pancreatic RNase A activity, but pre-Ear-1 and pre-Ear-2 showed no RNase A activity. Mature Ear-1 (Q) and mature Ear-2 (Q) showed more potent RNase A activity than mature Ear-1 (S) and mature Ear-2 (S), respectively. The RNase A activities of mature Ear-1 (Q) and mature Ear-2 (Q) were reduced by treatment at 96 degrees C for 20 min or with RNase inhibitor. The growth of Escherichia coli was inhibited by both pre-Ears and mature Ears in a concentration-dependent manner, and was almost completely suppressed at 1.0 microM. The bactericidal activities of mature Ear-1 (Q) and mature Ear-2 (Q) were not inhibited by RNase inhibitor, but was increased by treatment at 96 degrees C for 20 min.

The biological characteristics of a water soluble porphyrin in rat lymph nodes

The biological characteristics of a radiolabeled metalloporphyrin, 5,10,15,20-tetrakis(4-carboxyphenyl)-porphinato [⁶⁷Cu]copper (II) ([⁶⁷Cu]TCPP), in rat lymph nodes, surrounding muscle, fat and blood were determined. Lymphatic tissue localized greater amounts of [⁶⁷Cu]TCPP than did surrounding muscle and fat. Inflamed lymph nodes localized greater amounts of [⁶⁷Cu]TCPP than did noninflamed lymph nodes. Time course studies suggest that the uptake of [⁶⁷Cu]TCPP in noninflamed and in inflamed lymph nodes may involve different biological processes. The affinity of [⁶⁷Cu]TCPP for inflamed lymph nodes may be influenced by the degree of inflammation. If further studies confirm these results, [⁶⁷Cu]TCPP may be useful as a potential radiopharmaceutical for imaging inflamed lymph nodes.     

Construction of a recombinant eukaryotic expression plasmid containing human PDLIM2 gene and its biological activity

In order to obtain a full-length expression plasmid for human PDLIM2 gene, fragment amplification was used to clone its full-length coding sequence (CDS) region. The amplified PCR product was then digested and inserted into the pMD 18-T vector and subcloned into the pIRES2-EGFP plasmid to form the pIRES2-EGFP-PDLIM2 eukaryotic expression vector. After it was transfected to the bladder cancer cell line, BIU-87, the biological activities of high expression were verified by RT-PCR and Western blotting. Meanwhile the mRNA and protein expressions of p65 were detected. Finally we analyzed the effect of overexpressed PDLIM2 on BIU-87 cell proliferation. In conclusion, a recombinant eukaryotic expression vector pIRES2-EGFP-PDLIM2 containing the complete CDS region of PDLIM2 was successfully constructed. PDLIM2 negatively regulated p65 expression and inhibited BIU-87 cell proliferation. We laid the foundations for further research into the function of the PDLIM2 gene in bladder cancer.
