羊栖菜多糖诱导HL-60细胞凋亡的研究

用MTT法观察羊栖菜多糖(SFPS)在体外抗人白血病HL-60细胞增殖作用;扫描电镜、透射电镜、DNA电泳和流式细胞仪检测HL-60细胞凋亡。结果表明SFPS对HL-60细胞具有显著生长抑制作用,并呈量效和时效关系,药物作用24,36,48,72h的IC_(50)分别为390,362,402,421mg/L;药物浓度为300mg/L和500mg/L作用HL-60细胞后,琼脂糖凝胶电泳显示有凋亡细胞特有的DNA梯状条带,细胞微绒毛减少、染色质固缩、过集,凋亡小体形成;DNA直方图出现亚G_1峰。在一定浓度范围内,SFPS诱导细胞凋亡的作用呈现浓度和时间依赖性,同时G_2/M期细胞比例增多。因此,SFPS抗肿瘤作用与诱导细胞凋亡和G_2/M期细胞阻滞有关。

外泌体分泌在1,4-苯醌诱导的HL-60细胞凋亡中起保护作用

慢性苯暴露损害造血系统,可引起再生障碍性贫血,甚至白血病。外泌体(exosomes)是细胞分泌的纳米级膜泡,在许多生理和病理过程中发挥重要作用。然而,苯及其代谢产物对外泌体分泌的影响仍不清楚。本研究旨在观察苯的活性代谢产物1,4-苯醌(1,4-benzoquinone,1,4-BQ)能否引起人早幼粒白血病细胞HL-60外泌体分泌量的变化以及外泌体释放在1,4-BQ诱导的细胞凋亡中的作用。应用不同浓度1,4-BQ处理细胞24 h,超高速离心法提取细胞培养基中的外泌体,结果发现1,4-BQ能促进外泌体分泌,呈剂量反应关系。进一步应用外泌体抑制剂GW4869抑制外泌体分泌,流式细胞仪检测细胞凋亡率、蛋白质免疫印迹法检测抑凋亡蛋白质Bcl-2、凋亡通路关键蛋白质cleaved caspase-9和cleaved caspase-3的表达,探讨外泌体分泌对1,4-BQ所致细胞凋亡的影响。结果显示:与对照组相比,1,4-BQ单独处理组的凋亡率、Bcl-2、cleaved caspase-9和cleaved caspase-3的表达均显著增高(P<0.05),而1,4-BQ+GW4869组的凋亡率及凋亡相关蛋白质的表达均显著高于1,4-BQ单独处理组(P<0.05),表明抑制外泌体分泌可增加1,4-BQ诱导的细胞凋亡。综上表明,1,4-BQ能促进外泌体分泌,并在1,4-BQ诱导的细胞凋亡中起保护作用。本研究为了解苯的毒性效应和毒性机制提供了新的实验证据。

Caspase-3反义寡核苷酸对γ-射线诱导的HL-60细胞中caspase-3表达与细胞凋亡的抑制作用

γ-射线可诱导人髓性白血病细胞株HL-60细胞凋亡,但其机制尚未完全明了。为了观察caspase-3在这种细胞凋亡模型中的作用,本研究设计合成针对caspase-3mRNA5′-非编码区和编码起始区的反义寡核苷酸(ASODNs),即ASODN-1和ASODN-2,以脂质体介导法将不同浓度ASODN-1和ASODN-2转染进入HL-60细胞,γ-射线照射。应用TUNEL法观察凋亡细胞形态学变化及检测凋亡细胞百分率,免疫细胞化学、Westernblotting和RT-PCR技术分别检测caspase-3及其mRNA在引入ASODNs前后的表达水平,并以错配寡核苷酸(MODN)转染及未转染细胞作为对照组。TUNEL法检测发现,当ASODN-1和ASODN-2转染终浓度≥3μmol/L时,γ-射线诱导的HL-60细胞凋亡率降低,与对照组相比均有显著性差异(P<0.01)。免疫细胞化学结果显示,与两对照组相比,转染ASODNs后各组caspase-3阳性细胞率显著下降,阳性细胞染色减弱,其平均灰度值显著增高(P<0.01)。Westernblotting检测显示,转染ASODNs组细胞caspase-3蛋白酶原表达降低,其中ASODN-1组显著低于ASODN-2组。RT-PCR结果显示两对照组细胞caspase-3mRNA均有明显表达,转染ASODNs后caspase-3mRNA表达丰度降低。另外,ASODN-1抑制细胞凋亡和caspase-3表达的作用显著强于ASODN-2(分别为P<0.05和P<0.01)。实验结果表明,caspase-3mRNAASODNs能够抑制γ-射线照射诱导的HL-60细胞凋亡,下调caspase-3蛋白和caspase-3mRNA的表达水平,其抑制作用在一定范围内呈剂量依赖性。     

A proteomic analysis approach to study insecticidal crystal proteins from different strains of Bacillus thuringiensis

We obtained and compared a new cry2Ac6 gene from Bacillus wuhanensis 140, and Bacillus thuringiensis (Bt) subsp. kurstaki 4.0718 and B.t. kurstaki XL004 that share a similar genetic background but occupy different ecological niches. Using a proteomic approach and function-based activity profiling, we systemically identified the insecticidal crystal proteins (ICPs) from the three Bt species, which were found to be mainly distributed at pH 4–7 on two-dimensional electrophoresis (2DE) gels by PDQuest software. The proteins that exhibited a significant difference in expression were excised, digested in-gel and identified by MALDI-TOF-MS. Thirty-three differently expressed proteins were identified from the three Bt strains. The Cry2Ac6, Cry1Ab16, CryIG, CryH2, CryI, CryINA67-1 and CryI⁺ crystal protein mixture from B.t. wuhanensis 140, Cry1Ac, Cry2Aa and endotoxin delta1 from B.t. kurstaki 4.0718 were further analyzed by bioinformatics analysis. Two common proteins were founded in three strains, the heat shock proteins (HSP60) and the translation elongation factor Tu, which help with protein refolding and prevent protein degradation. The different enzymes of metabolism, including glutamate racemase, chemotaxis protein histidine kinase and related kinases pyruvate dehydrogenase complex E1orE3 were identified. Some protein spots could not be identified. The results indicate that each Bt strain has unique ICPs as well as some common proteins related to ICPs formation, and that the virulence of Bt strains is closely related to the expression of specific ICPs.

Arsenic suppresses necrosis induced by selenite in human leukemia HL-60 cells

Selenium, an essential trace element for humans, has been shown to have anticancer effects. Arsenic, a possibly essential ultratrace element for humans, has been used in the treatment of leukemia. Anticancer effects of selenium and arsenic have been related to their ability to induce apoptosis. Because humans are exposed to diverse trace elements simultaneously, it is important to learn their interrelationship. In this study, we demonstrate that sodium selenite (Na₂SeO₃) causes apoptosis at 3 μM and necrosis at high concentrations (>3 μM) in HL-60 cells. Similarly, both sodium arsenite (NaAsO₂) at 50 μM and sodium arsenate (Na₂HAsO₄) induce apoptosis at 500 μM and necrosis at higher concentrations (>50 μM and >500 μM, respectively) in HL-60 cells. Arsenite/arsenate, but not selenite, enhances AP-1 DNA-binding activity. This finding indicates different mechanisms through which apoptosis is induced by these two elements. Interestingly, we observed that HL-60 cell necrosis induced by a high concentration (>3 μM) of selenite was essentially inhibited by arsenic (50 μM of NaAsO₂ or 500 μM of Na₂HAsO₄), which resulted in a net effect of apoptosis. Because AP-1 DNA-binding activity was not induced in the presence of a combination of necrotic amount of selenite and apoptotic amount of arsenite/arsenate, the observed apoptosis apparently was through the mechanism used by selenite. Our results suggest, for the first time, that the toxic necrotic effect of selenite can be neutralized by arsenite/arsenate at the cellular level.

Apoptosis of human leukemic HL—60 cells induced to differentiate by treatment with RA or DMSO

In present study,we studied the effect of all-trans retinoic acid(ATRA)and dimethylsulfoxide(DMSO)on the induction of apoptosis in HL-60 cell line.Based on morphological changes by Hochest 33342 staining and identification of internuclesomal NDA celeavage by gel electrophoresis,we observed aberrant nuclear chromatin condensation and ladder-like pattern of DNA degradation. Using Flow Cytometric method.We found sub-G1 peak in RA-treated HL-60 cells starting 5 to 6d after the initiation of the treatment However,Such an obvious apoptotic peak was not identified in DMSO-differentiated cells.Combining the research accomplished before.our study approves further that apoptosis could be a common mode of death of terminally differentiated HL-60 cells.

Analysis of non-active engineered Bacillus thuringiensis crystal proteins

Abstract Crystal proteins of Bacillus thuringiensis are known for their insecticidal specificity. This specificity is, to a large extent, determined by the interaction of the proteins with high-affinity binding sites on the epithelial membrane of the midgut of sensitive insects. In particular, domain II of the three domains of the toxic moiety has been implicated in specificity. To determine which sequences of the protein are involved in binding, loops of domain II which terminate in the molecular apex of CryIA(b) were replaced by the corresponding regions of CryIE, a protein with different binding characteristics and insect specificity. In contrast to expression of the wild-type genes, expression of the mutant alleles in Escherichia coli resulted in the formation of biologically inactive, insoluble aggregates. Although these aggregates could be solubilized in vitro using urea, in contrast to the wild-type CryIA(b), the mutant proteins did not correctly refold as is shown by their increased protease sensitivity and lack of biological activity. The results indicate that engineering CryI proteins, based on the CryIIIA structure, is likely to prove difficult, particularly since the conformation of CryIIIA and CryI proteins might differ in domain II.     

苏云金芽胞杆菌杀虫晶体蛋白作用的分子机制研究进展

本文主要综述了苏云金芽胞杆菌(Bacillusthuringiensis,Bt)杀虫晶体蛋白在分子水平上作用机制的研究进展。杀虫晶体蛋白经蛋白酶活化后形成的毒性肽一般由三个结构域组成。在杀虫过程中,毒性肽首先通过结构域Ⅱ或结构域Ⅲ的特殊部位与昆虫中肠上皮细胞膜上的受体蛋白发生专一性结合。这一结合开始是可逆的,随后发生紧密的不可逆结合。继而诱发毒性肽分子发生空间构象变化,使得结构域Ⅰ中的某些α螺旋从α螺旋束中弹出并插入细胞膜,并通过寡聚合作用造成膜穿孔,导致细胞渗透平衡破坏、中肠破裂、昆虫死亡 。
