Background
15-hydroxyprostaglandin dehydrogenase (15-PGDH, EC 1.1.1.141) is the key enzyme for the inactivation of prostaglandins, regulating processes such as inflammation or proliferation. The anabolic pathways of prostaglandins, especially with respect to regulation of the cyclooxygenase (COX) enzymes have been studied in detail; however, little is known about downstream events including functional interaction of prostaglandin-processing and -metabolizing enzymes. High-affinity probes for 15-PGDH will, therefore, represent important tools for further studies.Principal Findings
To identify novel high-affinity inhibitors of 15-PGDH we performed a quantitative high-throughput screen (qHTS) by testing >160 thousand compounds in a concentration-response format and identified compounds that act as noncompetitive inhibitors as well as a competitive inhibitor, with nanomolar affinity. Both types of inhibitors caused strong thermal stabilization of the enzyme, with cofactor dependencies correlating with their mechanism of action. We solved the structure of human 15-PGDH and explored the binding modes of the inhibitors to the enzyme in silico. We found binding modes that are consistent with the observed mechanisms of action.Conclusions
Low cross-reactivity in screens of over 320 targets, including three other human dehydrogenases/reductases, suggest selectivity of the present inhibitors for 15-PGDH. The high potencies and different mechanisms of action of these chemotypes make them a useful set of complementary chemical probes for functional studies of prostaglandin-signaling pathways.Enhanced version

Ultrathin films were prepared with cationic poly(allylamine hydrochloride) (PAH) and two anionic polysaccharides, iota- and lambda-carrageenan, of similar chemical composition but different conformations using the layer-by-layer (LbL) technique. The study of aqueous solutions of carrageenans confirms that iota-carrageenan is at room temperature in helical conformation while lambda-carrageenan is in random coil conformation. Characterization of the multilayers by ellipsometry, circular dichroism, and AFM revealed that iota-carrageenan keeps its helical conformation within the films while lambda-carrageenan chains are in random coil conformation. Investigation of the mechanical properties of the films by performing nanoindentation experiments using force spectroscopy showed clear differences between the two films based on carrageenans of different conformations. 相似文献

Hypoxia produces sex dimorphic immune responses in males and proestrus females. Because Kupffer cells are the major source of proinflammatory cytokines, studies were conducted to discern IL-6 production in mouse Kupffer cells following hypoxia. Hypoxia enhances TLR4 expression in Kupffer cells irrespective of sex. However, MyD88 and Src expression in Kupffer cells decreased significantly after hypoxia in proestrus females, whereas Src protein expression and phosphorylation increased in males in concurrence with differences in IL-6 production. 17beta-estradiol administration elevated MyD88 and Src expression in males to levels in normoxic proestrus females. Administration of Src inhibitor in hypoxic males prevented increased IL-6 production. Thus, differential regulation of MyD88 and Src in males and females plays an important role in sex-specific immune response following hypoxia. 相似文献

Plants accumulate a vast array of secondary metabolites,which constitute a natural resource for pharmaceuticals.Oldenlandia corymbosa belongs to the Rubiaceae family,and has been used in traditional medicine to treat different diseases,including cancer.However,the active metabolites of the plant,their biosynthetic pathway and mode of action in cancer are unknown.To fill these gaps,we exposed this plant to eight different stress conditions and combined different omics data capturing gene expressi... 相似文献

The ongoing COVID‐19 pandemic and the emergence of new SARS‐CoV‐2 variants of concern (VOCs) requires continued development of effective therapeutics. Recently, we identified high‐affinity neutralizing nanobodies (Nbs) specific for the receptor‐binding domain (RBD) of SARS‐CoV‐2. Taking advantage of detailed epitope mapping, we generate two biparatopic Nbs (bipNbs) targeting a conserved epitope outside and two different epitopes inside the RBD:ACE2 interface. Both bipNbs bind all currently circulating VOCs with high affinities and are capable to neutralize cellular infection with VOC B.1.351 (Beta) and B.1.617.2 (Delta) in vitro. To assess if the bipNbs NM1267 and NM1268 confer protection against SARS‐CoV‐2 infection in vivo, human ACE2 transgenic mice are treated intranasally before infection with a lethal dose of SARS‐CoV‐2 B.1, B.1.351 (Beta) or B.1.617.2 (Delta). Nb‐treated mice show significantly reduced disease progression and increased survival rates. Histopathological analyses further reveal a drastically reduced viral load and inflammatory response in lungs. These data suggest that both bipNbs are broadly active against a variety of emerging SARS‐CoV‐2 VOCs and represent easily applicable drug candidates. 相似文献

SUMMARY: We have developed a Web-based tool named 'Harvester' that bulk-collects bioinformatic data on human proteins from various databases and prediction servers. The information on every single protein is assembled on a single HTML page as a combination of database screen-shots and plain text. A full text meta search engine, similar to Google trade mark, allows screening of the whole genome proteome for current protein functions and predictions in a few seconds. With Harvester it is now possible to compare and check the quality of different database entries and prediction algorithms on a single page. A feedback forum allows users to comment on Harvester and to report database inconsistencies. AVAILABILITY: The service is freely available to the academic community at http://harvester.embl.de. 相似文献
