Expression of c-MET, the HGF (hepatocyte growth factor) tyrosine kinase receptor, was investigated in pediatric B-acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL) patients. c-MET was found to be expressed in normal B cells and in B-ALL patients with the t(12;21) TEL-AML1 translocation, but it is not expressed in the most part of B-ALL without the t(12;21). We also found that c-MET, related to proliferation and protection from apoptosis, is associated with the pro-apoptotic protein FAS in TEL-AML1 B-ALL cells and in normal B lymphocytes. The possible role of this protein complex in drug-induced apoptosis was thus investigated in REH TEL-AML1 B-ALL cell line. REH cells prestimulated with HGF and treated with doxorubicin had shown a higher apoptotic rate than non-HGF-prestimulated ones (p = 0.03). REH cells stimulated with IL-3 and treated with doxorubicin did not undergo apoptosis more than nonstimulated cells, demonstrating that increased proliferation in itself is not directly related to the higher apoptotic sensitivity observed with HGF stimulation. These results indicate that c-MET activation enhances specifically FAS-mediated apoptosis in TEL-AML1 ALL cells and, considering that the c-MET/FAS complex is present only in normal B lymphocytes and in TEL-AML1 leukemias, this implies that it may have an important contribution in cellular homeostasis and in high sensitivity of TEL-AML1 ALL to chemotherapeutic regimens. 相似文献

The scorpion toxin peptide BeKm-1 was synthesised by fluorenylmethoxycarbonyl solid phase chemistry and folded by air oxidation. The peptide's effects on heterologous human ether-a-go-go-related gene potassium current (I(HERG)) in HEK293 cells were assessed using 'whole-cell' patch clamp. Blockade of I(HERG) by BeKm-1 was concentration-dependent, temperature-dependent, and rapid in onset and reversibility. Blockade also exhibited inverse voltage dependence, inverse dependence on duration of depolarisation, and reverse use- and frequency-dependence. Blockade by BeKm-1 and recombinant ergtoxin, another scorpion toxin known to block HERG, differed in their recovery from HERG current inactivation elicited by strong depolarisation and in their ability to block HERG when the channels were already activated. We conclude that synthetic BeKm-1 toxin blocks HERG preferentially through a closed (resting) state channel blockade mechanism, although some open channel blockade also occurs. 相似文献

The notion of the adult heart as terminally differentiated organ without self-renewal potential has been undermined by the existence of a subpopulation of replicating myocytes in normal and pathological states. The origin and significance of these cells has remained obscure for lack of a proper biological context. We report the existence of Lin(-) c-kit(POS) cells with the properties of cardiac stem cells. They are self-renewing, clonogenic, and multipotent, giving rise to myocytes, smooth muscle, and endothelial cells. When injected into an ischemic heart, these cells or their clonal progeny reconstitute well-differentiated myocardium, formed by blood-carrying new vessels and myocytes with the characteristics of young cells, encompassing approximately 70% of the ventricle. Thus, the adult heart, like the brain, is mainly composed of terminally differentiated cells, but is not a terminally differentiated organ because it contains stem cells supporting its regeneration. The existence of these cells opens new opportunities for myocardial repair. 相似文献

Leukocyte migration into inflamed tissues comprises dynamic interactions between immune and endothelial cells through events controlled by adhesion molecules, e.g., P- and E-selectins, which mediate Th1 cells recruitment after injury. Since miscarriage is known to be a Th1 event and selectins are expressed at the murine foetal-maternal interface, the purpose of our study was to investigate whether blocking P- and E-selectins before implantation could inhibit Th1 migration into the foetal-maternal interface and thus prevent foetal rejection. DBA/2J-mated CBA/J females were treated with monoclonal antibodies (mAbs) against P-selectin or with both, anti-P- and anti-E-selectins combined on days 2 and 4 of pregnancy. PBS-treated females served as controls. Our data revealed a significant improvement in pregnancy outcome in both treated groups compared to the control, which is due to the effectiveness of the mAb against P-selectin, since the treatment with anti-E-selectin alone could not prevent abortion. We further observed that there was diminished Th1 cytokine production by decidual immune cells in all treated groups in comparison to the controls. Our data first confirm the important role of P-selectin in mediating the extravasation of abortive cells, while opening new therapeutic opportunities. 相似文献

BACKGROUND: There is a need to identify new markers to assess recurrence risk in early-stage colorectal cancer (CRC) patients. We explored the prognostic impact of ether-a-gò-gò-related gene 1 channels and some hypoxia markers, in patients with nonmetastatic (stage I, II, and III) CRC. METHODS: The expression of hERG1, vascular endothelial growth factor A (VEGF-A), glucose transporter 1, carbonic anhydrase IX (CA-IX), epidermal growth factor receptor (EGF-R), and p53 was tested by immunohistochemistry in 135 patients. The median follow-up was 35 months. Clinicopathologic parameters and overall survival were evaluated. RESULTS: hERG1 displayed a statistically significant association with Glut-1, VEGF-A, CA-IX, and EGF-R; p53 with VEGF-A and CA-IX; Glut-1 with the age of the patients; and EGF-R with TNM and mucin content. TNM and CA-IX were prognostic factors at the univariate analysis; TNM, hERG1, and Glut-1, at the multivariate analysis. Risk scores calculated from the final multivariate model allowed to stratify patients into four different risk groups: A) stage I-II, Glut-1 positivity, any hERG1; B) stage I-II, Glut-1 and hERG1 negativity; C) stage I-II, Glut-1 negativity, hERG1 positivity; D) stage III, any Glut-1 and any hERG1. CONCLUSIONS: hERG1 positivity with Glut-1 negativity identifies a patient group with poor prognosis within stage I-II CRC. The possibility that these patients might benefit from adjuvant therapy, independently from the TNM stage, is discussed. IMPACT: More robust prognostic and predictive markers, supplementing standard clinical and pathologic staging, are needed for node-negative patients. 相似文献

Accumulation of transactive response DNA binding protein (TDP-43) fragments in motor neurons is a post mortem hallmark of different neurodegenerative diseases. TDP-43 fragments are the products of the apoptotic caspases-3 and -7. Either excessive or insufficient cellular Ca2+ availability is associated with activation of apoptotic caspases. However, as far as we know, it is not described whether activation of caspases, due to restricted intracellular Ca2+, affects TDP-43 cleavage. Here we show that in various cell lineages with restricted Ca2+ availability, TDP-43 is initially cleaved by caspases-3 and -7 and then, also by caspases-6 and -8 once activated by caspase-3. Furthermore, we disclose the existence of a TDP-43 caspase-mediated fragment of 15 kDa, in addition to the well-known fragments of 35 and 25 kDa. Interestingly, with respect to the other two fragments this novel fragment is the major product of caspase activity on murine TDP-43 whereas in human cell lines the opposite occurs. This outcome should be considered when murine models are used to investigate TDP-43 proteinopathies. 相似文献

Membrane proteins possess certain features that make them susceptible to the electric fields generated at the level of the plasma membrane. A reappraisal of cell signalling, taking into account the protein interactions with the membrane electrostatic profile, suggests that an electrical dimension is deeply involved in this fundamental aspect of cell biology. At least three types of potentials can contribute to this dimension: (1) the potential across the compact layer of water adherent to membrane surfaces; this potential is affected by classical inducers of cell differentiation, like dimethylsulfoxide and hexamethylenebisacetamide; (2) the potential across the Gouy-Chapman double layer, which accounts for the effects of extracellular cations in the modulation of differentiation; and (3) the resting potential. This last potential and its governing ion currents can be exploited in localised mechanisms of cell signalling centred on the functional association of integrin receptors with ion channels. 相似文献
