Pertussis is still among the principal causes of death worldwide, and its incidence is increasing even in countries with high vaccine coverage. Although all age groups are susceptible, it is most severe in infants too young to be protected by currently available vaccines. To induce strong protective immunity in neonates, we have developed BPZE1, a live attenuated Bordetella pertussis strain to be given as a single-dose nasal vaccine in early life. BPZE1 was developed by the genetic inactivation or removal of three major toxins. In mice, BPZE1 was highly attenuated, yet able to colonize the respiratory tract and to induce strong protective immunity after a single nasal administration. Protection against B. pertussis was comparable to that induced by two injections of acellular vaccine (aPV) in adult mice, but was significantly better than two administrations of aPV in infant mice. Moreover, BPZE1 protected against Bordetella parapertussis infection, whereas aPV did not. BPZE1 is thus an attractive vaccine candidate to protect against whooping cough by nasal, needle-free administration early in life, possibly at birth. 相似文献

Protein proteinase inhibitor genes in combat against insects, pests, and pathogens: natural and engineered phytoprotection 总被引:11,自引:0,他引:11
The continual need to increase food production necessitates the development and application of novel biotechnologies to enable the provision of improved crop varieties in a timely and cost-effective way. A milestone in this field was the introduction of Bacillus thuringiensis (Bt) entomotoxic proteins into plants. Despite the success of this technology, there is need for development of alternative strategies of phytoprotection. Biotechnology offers sustainable solutions to the problem of pests, pathogens, and plant parasitic nematodes in the form of other insecticidal protein genes. A variety of genes, besides (Bt) toxins that are now available for genetic engineering for pest resistance are genes for vegetative insecticidal proteins, proteinase inhibitors, alpha-amylase inhibitors, and plant lectins. This review presents a comprehensive summary of research efforts that focus on the potential use and advantages of using proteinase inhibitor genes to engineer insect- and pest-resistance. Crop protection by means of PI genes is an important component of Integrated Pest Management programmes. 相似文献

The green plant regeneration ability from anthers of BR-7, a high yielding indica cultivar, Binnatoa (BA), a salt tolerant
indica land race and IR-43 was tested in N6, M8, He2 and R2 media. The response was calculated on the basis of number of anthers
producing green plants. The number of green plants per responding anther was also recorded. The response of BR-7 and BA was
poor compared to the indica cultivar IR-43 in three of the media that were tested. In N6 medium, green plant regeneration
of BA and BR-7 was respectively 10-fold and 100-fold less than the japonica cultivar Taipei 309 (T-309). No anther-derived
green regenerant was obtained from another salt tolerant indica land race, Rajashail (RAJ). The N6 medium was selected to
test green plant regeneration frequency from anthers obtained from the F1 crosses of T-309 × BR-7, T-309 × BA, T-309 × RAJ
and T-309 × BR-7 AC regenerants backcrossed with BA. Our objective was to combine the salt tolerant trait of BA and the high
yield of BR-7 in a single line. The intermediate crossing step with T-309 was performed to increase the green plant regenerability
of the anthers. All F1 progeny from the crosses with T-309 showed significantly increased callus induction compared to the
indica parent although the values were lower than the midparent means. Green plant regeneration compared to their respective
indica parents either increased or decreased but never approached the level of T-309.

The effects have been studied of the non-ionic surfactant, Pluronic F-68, on the growth in culture of jute (Corchorus capsularis L.) cotyledons with attached petioles, cotyledon explants and transformed roots. Supplementation of culture medium with 0.001–0.5% (w/v) of either commercial grade Pluronic F-68 or a purified fraction prepared by passage through silica gel, stimulated shoot production from the petioles of C. capsularis var. D154 and C134 cotyledons. This effect was most marked in C134, because of the failure of control cotyledons to produce shoots in the absence of Pluronic. Plants regenerated from Pluronic-treated cotyledons were morphologically normal. Growth of transformed roots of C. capsularis var. D154 was stimulated in medium supplemented with commercial grade or purified Pluronic F-68, with maximum increases in both fresh and dry weights with 0.1% (w/v) of the surfactant. Roots cultured in the presence of Pluronic F-68 could be maintained without sub-culture for up to 70 days, whereas roots cultured in the absence of Pluronic required subculture every 7 days, to prevent necrosis. Transformed roots also produced callus in the presence of 0.001–1.0% (w/v) of either commercial grade or purified Pluronic. The biotechnological implications of these results are discussed in relation to the potential value of non-ionic surfactants as growth-stimulating additives to plant culture media.Abbreviations NAA

The conformational changes accompanying thermal denaturation under neutral, acidic and reducing conditions of Cajanus cajan proteinase inhibitor were investigated using near- and far-ultraviolet circular dichroism (CD) spectroscopy. The protein inhibitor shows a reversible N<-->D transition at neutral pH with a Tm approximately equal to 63 degrees C. The negative CD band intensities at 200 nm (far-UV) and near about 280 nm (near-UV) decrease as a result of thermal stress. The effect is more pronounced at low pH and in the presence of dithiothreitol. Only partial reversibility is observed under acidic conditions. Significant changes in the near- as well as far-ultraviolet CD spectrum are observed in the presence of dithiothreitol suggestive of the importance of disulfide linkages in maintaining the structure of C. cajan proteinase inhibitor. 相似文献

Atherosclerosis, in the ultimate stage of cardiovascular diseases, causes an obstruction of vessels leading to ischemia and finally to necrosis. To restore vascularization and tissue regeneration, stimulation of angiogenesis is necessary. Chemokines and microRNAs (miR) were studied as pro-angiogenic agents. We analysed the miR-126/CXCL12 axis and compared impacts of both miR-126-3p and miR-126-5p strands effects in CXCL12-induced angiogenesis. Indeed, the two strands of miR-126 were previously shown to be active but were never compared together in the same experimental conditions regarding their differential functions in angiogenesis. In this study, we analysed the 2D-angiogenesis and the migration assays in HUVEC in vitro and in rat's aortic rings ex vivo, both transfected with premiR-126-3p/-5p or antimiR-126-3p/-5p strands and stimulated with CXCL12. First, we showed that CXCL12 had pro-angiogenic effects in vitro and ex vivo associated with overexpression of miR-126-3p in HUVEC and rat's aortas. Second, we showed that 2D-angiogenesis and migration induced by CXCL12 was abolished in vitro and ex vivo after miR-126-3p inhibition. Finally, we observed that SPRED-1 (one of miR-126-3p targets) was inhibited after CXCL12 treatment in HUVEC leading to improvement of CXCL12 pro-angiogenic potential in vitro. Our results proved for the first time: 1-the role of CXCL12 in modulation of miR-126 expression; 2-the involvement of miR-126 in CXCL12 pro-angiogenic effects; 3-the involvement of SPRED-1 in angiogenesis induced by miR-126/CXCL12 axis. 相似文献

To obtain mechanistic insights into the cross talk between lipolysis and autophagy, two key metabolic responses to starvation, we screened the autophagy-inducing potential of a panel of fatty acids in human cancer cells. Both saturated and unsaturated fatty acids such as palmitate and oleate, respectively, triggered autophagy, but the underlying molecular mechanisms differed. Oleate, but not palmitate, stimulated an autophagic response that required an intact Golgi apparatus. Conversely, autophagy triggered by palmitate, but not oleate, required AMPK, PKR and JNK1 and involved the activation of the BECN1/PIK3C3 lipid kinase complex. Accordingly, the downregulation of BECN1 and PIK3C3 abolished palmitate-induced, but not oleate-induced, autophagy in human cancer cells. Moreover, Becn1+/− mice as well as yeast cells and nematodes lacking the ortholog of human BECN1 mounted an autophagic response to oleate, but not palmitate. Thus, unsaturated fatty acids induce a non-canonical, phylogenetically conserved, autophagic response that in mammalian cells relies on the Golgi apparatus. 相似文献

The present study was designed to investigate whether calcium ionophore-induced activation and apoptosis are associated with the generation of hydrogen peroxide (H2O2) in rat eggs cultured in vitro. Culture of metaphase-II (M-II) arrested eggs in Ca2+/Mg2+-deficient medium did not induce egg activation, while a second polar body was observed in 20% of eggs when cultured in Ca2+/Mg2+-supplemented medium. In Ca2+/Mg2+-deficient medium, lower concentrations of calcium ionophore (0.2,0.4 and 0.8 µm) not only induced egg activation in a dose-dependent manner but also generation of intracellular H2O2 (84.40±0.50 ng/egg) when compared to control eggs (80.46±1.34 ng/egg). The higher concentration of calcium ionophore (1.6 µm) induced apoptosis and pronounced generation of intracellular H2O2 (92.43±0.93 ng/egg) in treated eggs. Conversely, cell-permeant antioxidant such as 2(3)-tert-butyl-4-hydroxyanisole (BHA) reduced intracellular H2O2 level (81.20±1.42 ng/egg) and protected against calcium ionophore-induced morphological changes characteristics of egg activation and apoptosis. These results clearly suggest that calcium ionophore-induced activation and apoptosis are associated with the generation of intracellular H2O2 in rat eggs. 相似文献
