Various proteins related to cell contraction have been extracted from human platelets. Of these, a protein (48K) with the molecular weight of 48,000 and one with the molecular weight of 47,000 (P47) often migrate together with actin on sodium dodecyl sulfate-polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis. We studied the biochemical characteristics of the 48K protein, purified by actin affinity and DEAE-Sepharose chromatography. The 48K protein did not react with anti-actin antibody or peroxidase-labelled actin. The protein inhibited the calcium-dependent gelation of actin. The 48K protein seemed to be a regulatory protein involving cell contraction not identified before. 相似文献

Summary A gene coding human proapolipoprotein A-I (proapo A-I) was inserted into a plasmid with a consensus ribosome binding sequence in Escherichia coli. One to three copies of this gene were tandemly inserted to construct proapo A-I expression plasmids, pMTpAI, pMT(pAI)2 and pMT(pAI)3, respectively. The cells harbouring pMT(pAI)3, could produce proapo A-I at a level of 49 g/ml A600 and up to approx. 48% of the total cellular protein. The product was soluble in E. coli, and formed protein-lipid complexes with dimyristoyl phosphatidyl choline, which formed stacked disc structures. Analyses of the rec proapo A-I formed in the bacteria was identical to human proapo A-I except for methionine at the N-terminus. 相似文献

The platelet protein, P47, with the molecular weight of 47,000 that is phosphorylated during platelet activation is closely associated with secretion from granules in these cells. P47 interacts with actin directly or indirectly. We investigated the ability of P47 to bind to actin by actin-affinity chromatography. In the eluate from an actin-Sepharose column, there was no phosphorylated P47, but in the first fraction that passed through the column, there was. The results suggested that P47 does not bind to actin directly. 相似文献

Bone homeostasis is maintained by the balance between osteoblastic bone formation and osteoclastic bone resorption. In this study, we used human bone marrow cells (BMCs) to investigate the role of hypoxic exposure on human osteoclast (OC) formation in the presence of tumor necrosis factor (TNF). Exposing the BMCs to 3%, 5%, or 10% O2 in the presence of receptor activator of NF-κB ligand (RANKL) and macrophage colony-stimulating factor (M-CSF) generated tartrate-resistant acid phosphatase (TRAP)-positive multinuclear cells, consistent with OCs. The addition of TNF under hypoxic conditions generated significantly greater numbers of mature OCs with more nuclei than OCs generated under normoxic conditions. Longer initial hypoxic exposure increased the number of OC precursor cells and facilitated the differentiation of OC precursor cells into multinucleated OCs. Quantitative RT-PCR analysis revealed that RANKL and TNFR1 were expressed at higher levels in non-OC cells from BMCs under hypoxic conditions than under normoxic conditions. Furthermore, to confirm the involvement of TNF-induced signaling, we examined the effects of blocking antibodies against TNFR1 and TNFR2 on OC formation under hypoxic conditions. The TNFR1 antibody was observed to significantly suppress OC formation. These results suggest that hypoxic exposure plays an important role in TNF-induced osteoclastogenesis from human BMCs. 相似文献

We previously reported that hypoxic stress enhanced osteoclast differentiation via increasing insulin-like growth factor 2 (IGF2) production. However, the mechanisms underlying IGF2 stimulation remains unknown. In this study, we investigated the molecular mechanisms of osteoclastogenesis by IGF2 treatment. Primary mouse bone marrow cells were cultured with IGF2. Total RNAs were applied to a DNA microarray analysis, and quantitative RT-PCR was then used to confirm the microarray data and clarify which cells expressed the relative genes. The most interesting findings were the upregulations of CXC chemokine ligand 7 (CXCL7) expression in stromal cells and stromal cell-derived factor 1 (SDF1) expression in osteoblastic cells with IGF2 treatment. The addition of exogenous SDF1 to CXCL7 increased the number of osteoclasts and promoted the formation of giant osteoclasts. These results suggest that IGF2 modulates the microenvironment around osteoclast precursor cells. SDF1 together with CXCL7 may promote the formation of giant osteoclasts. 相似文献

Objective
The acute physiology, age and chronic health evaluation (APACHE) II score and other related scores have been used for evaluation of illness severity in the intensive care unit (ICU), but there is still a need for real-time and sensitive prognostic biomarkers. Recently, alarmins from damaged tissues have been reported as alarm-signaling molecules. Although ATP is a member of the alarmins and its depletion in tissues closely correlates with multiple-organ failure, blood ATP level has not been evaluated in critical illness. To identify real-time prognostic biomarker of critical illness, we measured blood ATP levels and the lactate/ATP ratio (ATP-lactate energy risk score, A-LES) in critically ill patients.Methods and Results
Blood samples were collected from 42 consecutive critically ill ICU patients and 155 healthy subjects. The prognostic values of blood ATP levels and A-LES were compared with APACHE II score. The mean ATP level (SD) in healthy subjects was 0.62 (0.19) mM with no significant age or gender differences. The median ATP level in severely ill patients at ICU admission was significantly low at 0.31 mM (interquartile range 0.25 to 0.44) than the level in moderately ill patient at 0.56 mM (0.38 to 0.70) (P<0.01). Assessment with ATP was further corrected by lactate and expressed as A-LES. The median A-LES was 2.7 (2.1 to 3.3) in patients with satisfactory outcome at discharge but was significantly higher in non-survivors at 38.9 (21.0 to 67.9) (P<0.01). Receiver operating characteristic analysis indicated that measurement of blood ATP and A-LES at ICU admission are as useful as APACHE II score for prediction of mortality.Conclusion
Blood ATP levels and A-LES are sensitive prognostic biomarkers of mortality at ICU admission. In addition, A-LES provided further real-time evaluation score of illness severity during ICU stay particularly for critically ill patients with APACHE II scores of ≥20.0. 相似文献38.

Atherosclerosis is a chronic inflammatory disease and the underlying cause of most cardiovascular diseases. Interleukin (IL)-1β facilitates early atherogenic lesion formation by increasing monocyte adhesion to endothelial cells via upregulation of adhesion molecules, including intercellular adhesion molecule-1 (ICAM-1). MicroRNAs (miRNAs) have been shown to be associated with inflammatory conditions in the vascular system. The expression of circulating miR-1914–5p is reportedly downregulated in patients with cardiovascular diseases. However, the role of miR-1914–5p downregulation in IL-1β–induced endothelial cell dysfunction and the effect of miR-1914–5p on lesion formation remain unclear. Therefore, we investigated whether miR-1914–5p is associated with monocyte adhesion in human endothelial cells. IL-1β decreased miR-1914–5p expression in EA.hy926 cells. In addition, miR-1914–5p depletion enhanced ICAM-1 expression and monocyte adhesion in EA.hy926 cells. Moreover, miR-1914–5p mimic suppressed monocyte adhesion and ICAM-1 expression induced by IL-1β in endothelial cells. These results suggest that suppression of miR-1914–5p expression by IL-1β may be an important regulator in mediating monocyte adhesion in endothelial cells. Further investigation of miR-1914–5p may lead to the development of novel therapeutic strategies for atherosclerosis. 相似文献

Previous studies indicated that the acquisition of egg fertilizability during transit through the pars recta portion of the oviduct in Bufo japonicus is accompanied by hydrolytic conversion of the vitelline coat 40- to 52-kDa components to 39-kDa components induced by a 66-kDa serine protease, "oviductin." In this study, we cloned a 3028-bp cDNA that contained an open reading frame encoding 974 amino acids with a calculated molecular mass of 107.6 kDa, including two protease domains and three repeats of CUB domains. Sequence analysis indicated that the catalytically active 66-kDa protein comprised an N-terminally located oviductin protease and two CUB domains. The oviductin gene was transcribed as a part of 6-kb mRNA that was expressed specifically in the cells lining the bottom of epithelial folds in the oviductal pars recta, and this expression was highly accelerated when the pars recta fragments were cultured in the presence of hCG. Western blot analyses using antibodies against a protease domain revealed that the catalytically inactive 102-kDa proteins in the pars recta granules yield 66-kDa catalytically active and 82- and 59-kDa inactive molecules. We propose that the oviductin translated as 107.6-kDa precursors are processed both N- and C-terminally to give rise to a 66-kDa active form comprising a serine protease and two CUB domains. 相似文献

Two factors were found in the condition medium of neonatal pig liver fragments, which were capable of stimulating DNA synthesis in primary hepatocytes. They were named hepatocyte proliferation factor (HPF)-1 and HPF-2 and purified 1,025- and 2,580-fold, respectively. Both HPF-1 and HPF-2 seem to be anionic at pH 8.0 judged from the elution pattern of DEAE (DE52) column chromatography. HPF-1 was recovered as a non-adsorbed fraction in blue Sepharose and heparin Sepharose columns, and had a molecular weight of 26-31 kDa as estimated by gel filtration in high salt condition. Purified HPF-1 stimulated DNA synthesis of primary rat hepatocytes, but suppressed that of HepG2 cells. HPF-2 strongly bound to blue Sepharose and heparin Sepharose columns, and had a molecular weight of 71-90 kDa as estimated by SDS-PAGE under non-reduced condition. Purified HPF-2 stimulated DNA synthesis of primary rat hepatocytes dose dependently but did not suppress that of HepG2 cells. From further biological and chemical characteristics studied in this paper, HPF-1 and HPF-2 may be novel stimulating proteins for hepatocyte proliferation, although the possibility that they are already known growth factors can not be excluded without complete purification and its cloning. 相似文献
