Persistent activation of STAT3 plays a major role in cancer progression and immune escape. Therefore, targeting STAT3 in tumors is essential to enhance/reactivate antitumor immune response. In our previous studies, we demonstrated the efficacy of stearic acid-modified polyethylenimine (PEI-StA) in promoting small interfering RNA (siRNA) silencing of STAT3 in B16.F10 melanoma in vitro and in vivo. In the current study, we examine the immunologic impact of this intervention. Toward this goal, the infiltration and activation of lymphocytes and dendritic cells (DCs) in the tumor mass were assessed using flow cytometry. Moreover, the levels of IFN-γ, IL-12, and TNF-α in homogenized tumor supernatants were determined. Moreover, mixed lymphocytes reaction using splenocytes of tumor-bearing mice was used to assess DC functionality on siRNA/lipopolyplexes intervention. Our results demonstrated up to an approximately fivefold induction in the infiltration of CD3(+) cells in tumor mass on STAT3 knockdown with high levels of CD4(+), CD8(+), and NKT cells. Consistently, DC infiltration in tumor milieu increased up to approximately fourfold. Those DCs were activated, in an otherwise suppressive microenvironment, as evidenced by a high expression of costimulatory molecules CD86 and CD40. ELISA analysis revealed a significant increase in IFN-γ, IL-12, and TNF-α. Moreover, mixed lymphocytes reaction demonstrated alloreactivity of these DCs as assessed by high T-cell proliferation and IL-2 production. Our results suggest a bystander immune response after local STAT3 silencing by siRNA. This strategy could be beneficial as an adjuvant therapy along with current cancer vaccine formulations. 相似文献

Standardized sample preparation to reduce proteome complexity facilitates subsequent proteome analysis. Here we describe a robust sequential extraction method that enables simple fractionation of proteins in their native state according to their subcellular localization, yielding four subproteomes enriched in (a) cytosolic; (b) membrane and membrane organelle-localized; (c) soluble and DNA-associated nuclear and (d) cytoskeletal proteins. Efficiency and selectivity is demonstrated by morphological-, two-dimensional electrophoresis image-, immunological- as well as enzymatic-analysis. In pilot studies, subcellular redistribution of regulatory proteins was successfully measured. 相似文献

Mitokines are signaling molecules that enable communication of local mitochondrial stress to other mitochondria in distant cells and tissues. Among those molecules are FGF21, GDF15 (both expressed in the nucleus) and several mitochondrial-derived peptides, including humanin. Their responsiveness to mitochondrial stress induces mitokine-signaling in response for example to exercise, following mitochondrial challenges in skeletal muscle. Such signaling is emerging as an important mediator of exercise-derived and dietary strategy-related molecular and systemic health benefits, including healthy aging. A compensatory increase in mitokine synthesis and secretion could preserve mitochondrial function and overall cellular vitality. Conversely, resistance against mitokine actions may also develop. Alterations of mitokine-levels, and therefore of mitokine-related inter-tissue cross talk, are associated with general aging processes and could influence the development of age-related chronic metabolic, cardiovascular and neurological diseases; whether these changes contribute to aging or represent “rescue factors” remains to be conclusively shown. The aim of the present review is to summarize the expanding knowledge on mitokines, the potential to modulate them by lifestyle and their involvement in aging and age-related diseases. We highlight the importance of well-balanced mitokine-levels, the preventive and therapeutic properties of maintaining mitokine homeostasis and sensitivity of mitokine signaling but also the risks arising from the dysregulation of mitokines. While reduced mitokine levels may impair inter-organ crosstalk, also excessive mitokine concentrations can have deleterious consequences and are associated with conditions such as cancer and heart failure. Preservation of healthy mitokine signaling levels can be achieved by regular exercise and is associated with an increased lifespan. 相似文献

DNA methylation is an important epigenetic modification involved in many biological processes and diseases. Computational analysis of differentially methylated regions (DMRs) could explore the underlying reasons of methylation. DMRFusion is presented as a useful tool for comprehensive DNA methylation analysis of DMRs on methylation sequencing data. This tool is designed base on the integration of several ranking methods; Information gain, Between versus within Class scatter ratio, Fisher ratio, Z-score and Welch's t-test. In this study, DMRFusion on reduced representation bisulfite sequencing (RRBS) data in chronic lymphocytic leukemia cancer displayed 30 nominated regions and CpG sites with a maximum methylation difference detected in the hypermethylation DMRs. We realized that DMRFusion is able to process methylation sequencing data in an efficient and accurate manner and to provide annotation and visualization for DMRs with high fold difference score (p-value and FDR < 0.05 and type I error: 0.04). 相似文献

In recent decades, mesenchymal stromal cells (MSCs) biomedical utilizing has attracted worldwide growing attention. After the first report of the human MSCs obtaining from the bone marrow (BM) tissue, these cells were isolated from wide types of the other tissues, ranging from adipose tissue to dental pulp. Their specific characteristics, comprising self-renewality, multipotency, and availability accompanied by their immunomodulatory properties and little ethical concern denote their importance in the context of regenerative medicine. Considering preclinical studies, MSCs can modify immune reactions during tissue repair and restoration, providing suitable milieu for tissue recovery; on the other hand, they can be differentiated into comprehensive types of the body cells, such as osteoblast, chondrocyte, hepatocyte, cardiomyocyte, fibroblast, and neural cells. Though a large number of studies have investigated MSCs capacities in regenerative medicine in varied animal models, the oncogenic capability of unregulated MSCs differentiation must be more assessed to enable their application in the clinic. In the current review, we provide a brief overview of MSCs sources, isolation, and expansion as well as immunomodulatory activities. More important, we try to collect and discuss recent preclinical and clinical research and evaluate current challenges in the context of the MSC-based cell therapy for regenerative medicine. 相似文献
