The Tet gene expression system, that allows tightly controlled gene expression in response to doxycycline, was applied to analyze the influence of the receptor for advanced glycosylation endproducts (RAGE) on the growth of 293 cells in semi-solid medium. Establishing a Tet-On gene expression system involves two consecutive stable transfections. Here, we describe an alternative procedure to obtain a Tet-On gene expression system in a single transfection step for the use in tumor biology. The plasmids necessary for the regulated expression of RAGE together with the selectable marker plasmid were cotransfected in a molar ratio of 6:1. After aminoglycoside selection, 29 clones were analyzed using PCR revealing 8 colonies to be double stably transformed. Subsequent Western blot analysis showed inducible expression in 7 cell lines. Applying the one step protocol, the entire Tet-On expression system could be completed in half of the time required for the original two step method. The generated 293 double stable cells were used in the clonogenic assay for the testing of the tumor suppressive potential of RAGE. 相似文献

The metabolism of dihydrotachysterol (DHT), a hydrogenated analogue of vitamin D, has been studied in vivo using man and rat and in vitro using the perfused rat kidney, and hepatoma (3B) and osteosarcoma (UMR-106) cell lines. In vivo a large number of metabolites appeared in the plasma of rats given DHT2 and DHT3. Of particular interest was a compound more polar than 25-hydroxy-DHT, which has been designated compound H. Further study of this compound showed that it was composed of two components, one (Ha) being in much lower concentration than the other (Hb). The production of T2/H (peak H from DHT2) was demonstrated in human plasma after administration of oral DHT2. Comparison of the metabolites formed in vivo with those isolated from the rat kidney perfused with 25-hydroxy-DHT3 in vitro showed that 25-hydroxy-DHT3 was metabolized along two metabolic pathways previously described for vitamin D, culminating in the production of 25-hydroxy-DHT3-23,26-lactone and 23,25-dihydroxy-24-oxo-DHT3. The osteosarcoma cell line metabolized 25-OH-DHT3 in vitro along the same two metabolic pathways already demonstrated in the perfused rat kidney. More polar metabolites than compound H seen in rat plasma in vivo were shown to be metabolites of compound H and similar metabolites were also produced in the osteosarcoma cell line from chemically synthesized 1,25-dihydroxy-DHT3. The hepatoma cell line 25-hydroxylated DHT and no feed-back inhibition was observed. Use of the hepatoma cell to 25-hydroxylate a number of chemically synthesized 1-hydroxy-DHTs indicated that compound Ha was indistinguishable from 1,25-dihydroxy-DHT whereas compound Hb is possibly 1β,25-dihydroxy-DHT. Studies with the VDR in both chick gut and calf thymus indicated that 1,25-dihydroxy-DHT is very effective in displacing radiolabelled 1,25-dihydroxyvitamin-D3 and is thus most likely to be the calcaemic metabolite of DHT. 相似文献

在肺癌类型中,肺腺癌占大多数,其总体生存率差,BTG2是抗增殖基因家族的一员,属于BTG/TOB家族。许多研究表明,B细胞易位基因2(BTG2)多种类型的肿瘤中存在异常表达,但其在肺腺癌放疗敏感性中发挥的调控作用尚不明确。本研究通过肺腺癌组织样本及在线数据库,探究BTG2在肺腺癌患者中的表达水平及其表达与临床预后之间的相关性,结果提示在具有放疗抗性的肺腺癌患者中,BTG2的表达水平显著降低,且在肺腺癌细胞系中,BTG2能对放疗产生响应,其在肺腺癌患者中的低表达状态与不良的预后相关(P<0.05);在人肺腺癌A549和H1299细胞系中转染过表达BTG2(OE-BTG2)慢病毒,通过克隆形成检测过表达BTG2对肺腺癌细胞系的辐射敏感性的影响,实验证实过表达BTG2可显著增强A549和H1299细胞系的辐射敏感性(P<0.05);并进一步通过WB、免疫组化检测BTG2及凋亡相关蛋白BAX的表达水平,结果证实:过表达BTG2可显著增加A549和H1299细胞辐射后的凋亡水平。最后通过裸鼠成瘤试验检测BTG2在活体中对肺腺癌辐射敏感性的影响,结果提示:在动物实验中,过表达BTG2可显著增强肺腺癌的辐射敏感性(P<0.05)及增加辐射后BAX的表达水平。综上所述,BTG2在肺腺癌组织中处于低表达状态,并且与不良的临床预后紧密相关,过表达BTG2可促进凋亡过程,增加人肺腺癌细胞系的辐射敏感性,能为克服肺腺癌的辐射抗性提供新的靶点。 相似文献

The mitochondrial response to cyanogen bromide-treated parathyroid hormone was studied as a means of testing further the relationship between the structure and the effects in vitro of this hormone. The treated hormone and appropriate control hormone were tested in a standard bioassay and in a mitochondrial assay system in vitro.
Reaction of more than 90 % of the methionine residues in the hormone resulted in total inactivation of the hormone both in vivo and in vitro. This result disagrees with previously published data. 相似文献

Cistus creticus ssp. creticus is an indigenous shrub of the Mediterranean area. The glandular trichomes covering its leaf surfaces secrete a resin called “ladanum”, which among others contains a number of specific labdane-type diterpenes that exhibit antibacterial and antifungal action as well as in vitro and in vivo cytotoxic and cytostatic activity against human cancer cell lines. In view of the properties and possible future exploitation of these metabolites, it was deemed necessary to study the geranylgeranyl diphosphate synthase enzyme (GGDPS, EC 2.5.1.30), a short chain prenyltransferase responsible for the synthesis of the precursor molecule of all diterpenes. In this work, we present the cloning, functional characterisation and expression profile at the gene and protein levels of two differentially expressed C. creticus full-length cDNAs, CcGGDPS1 and CcGGDPS2. Heterologous yeast cell expression system showed that these cDNAs exhibited GGDPS enzyme activity. Gene and protein expression analyses suggest that this enzyme is developmentally and tissue-regulated showing maximum expression in trichomes and smallest leaves (0.5–1.0 cm). This work is the first attempt to study the terpenoid biosynthesis at the molecular level in C. creticus ssp. creticus. 相似文献

Transient co-transfection of receptor cDNA and suitable reporter genes was used to study human glucocorticoid receptor (hGR) function in a neutral mammalian cell background. A variety of natural and synthetic steroids were analyzed for their ability to activate gene expression through the hGR and to bind to extracts of cells expressing the hGR cDNA. There was very good correlation between these two in vitro parameters for these compounds. Furthermore, correlation of these data with reported in vivo anti-inflammatory potencies was surprisingly close, with two exceptions. The in vitro data suggest an explanation for the discrepant compounds, consistent with published data on their metabolic fate in vivo. The co-transfection assay has utility as a quantitative predictor of in vivo glucocorticoid pharmacology. 相似文献

The mammalian Per1 gene is one of the most important components of circadian clock function of the suprachiasmatic nucleus and peripheral tissues. We examined whether the β2-adrenoceptor agonists, procaterol and fenoterol, induce human Per1 mRNA expression in human bronchial epithelium. The in vitro stimulation of β2-adrenoceptor agonists in BEAS-2B cells led to a remarkable increase in the level of hPer1 mRNA. Moreover, fenoterol or procaterol induced the phosphorylation of CREB in BEAS-2B cells as verified by immunoblot analysis. β2-adrenoceptor agonists induced human Per1 mRNA expression by the signaling pathways of cAMP-CREB in BEAS-2B cells. 相似文献

Cytokines produced by immune-activated testicular interstitial macrophages (TIMs) may play a fundamental role in the local control mechanisms of testosterone biosynthesis in Leydig cells. We investigated whether in vivo immune-activation of TIMs can modulate Leydig cell steroidogenesis. To immune activate TIMs in vivo, mice were injected intraperitoneally (i.p.) with lipopolysaccharide (LPS, 6 mg/kg). TIMs and Leydig cells were purified for RNA analysis. LPS treatment resulted in a 47-fold increase in interleukin-1β (IL-1β) mRNA in TIMs. P450c17 mRNA levels in the Leydig cells from the same animals, decreased to less than 10% compared to control. The effect of LPS on IL-1β and P450c17 mRNA levels was reversible on both TIMs and Leydig cells, respectively. To determine if the effect of LPS on P450c17 was mediated by a possible decrease in pituitary LH secretion, mice were co-injected with LPS and hCG. Treatment with hCG did not change the effect observed with LPS alone, in TIMs or in Leydig cells. In vitro, LPS treatment of TIMs resulted in marked induction of IL-1β mRNA expression. In parallel, in vitro treatment of Leydig cells with recombinant IL-1 resulted in a dose-dependent inhibition of P450c17 mRNA expression and testosterone production. These data demonstrate that LPS treatment, in vivo and in vitro, induced IL-1 gene expression in TIMs, and that IL-1 inhibits P450c17 mRNA in vitro. Therefore, we suggest that immune-activation of TIMs might have caused the observed inhibition of P450c17 gene expression in Leydig cells in vivo. 相似文献

1,25-Dihydroxyvitamin D3, [1,25(OH)2D3], the biologically most active metabolite of vitamin D3, is involved in the regulation of calcium homeostasis and bone metabolism. Recently, receptors for 1,25(OH)2D3 have also been shown in cells and tissues not directly related to calcium homeostasis. Experimental data obtained with leukemic and cancer cell lines, both in vitro and in vivo, showed the effects of 1,25(OH)2D3 on cell differentiation and proliferation. However, high doses of the sterol have to be used to observe these effects. Additional studies are needed to establish whether 1,25(OH)2D3 or suitable analogues have a therapeutic potential in malignant diseases without unacceptable toxicity like the development of hypercalcemia. 相似文献
