Helicobacter pylori-induced immune responses are skewed toward a T helper (Th) 1 phenotype. IL-17-producing Th17 cells have recently been discovered, and we examined the role of IL-17A in H. pylori-induced gastritis. Six months after inoculation with H. pylori, the mice received an intraperitoneal injection of recombinant IL-17A, anti-IL-17A antibody or irrelevant IgG2a for 3 days. H. pylori infection markedly increased mRNA for IL-17A. Double immunofluorescence studies showed that IL-17A proteins were expressed on CD4+ T cells, macrophages, and dendritic cells. H. pylori infection elevated mRNAs for IL-12, IFN-γ, and TNF-α with increase in myeloperoxidase activity, whereas it did not affect mRNAs for IL-4 and IL-5. Neutralization of IL-17A elevated mRNAs for IFN-γ and TNF-α, and myeloperoxidase activity, whereas recombinant IL-17A had a tendency to reduce these parameters. In conclusion, IL-17A exerts anti-inflammatory effects on H. pylori-induced gastritis through suppression of Th1 differentiation. 相似文献

Here, we describe novel puromycin derivatives conjugated with iminobiotin and a fluorescent dye that can be linked covalently to the C-terminus of full-length proteins during cell-free translation. The iminobiotin-labeled proteins can be highly purified by affinity purification with streptavidin beads. We confirmed that the purified fluorescence-labeled proteins are useful for quantitative protein–protein interaction analysis based on fluorescence cross-correlation spectroscopy (FCCS). The apparent dissociation constants of model protein pairs such as proto-oncogenes c-Fos/c-Jun and archetypes of the family of Ca2+-modulated calmodulin/related binding proteins were in accordance with the reported values. Further, detailed analysis of the interactions of the components of polycomb group complex, Bmi1, M33, Ring1A and RYBP, was successfully conducted by means of interaction assay for all combinatorial pairs. The results indicate that FCCS analysis with puromycin-based labeling and purification of proteins is effective and convenient for in vitro protein–protein interaction assay, and the method should contribute to a better understanding of protein functions by using the resource of available nucleotide sequences. 相似文献

In vitro antibody-display technologies are powerful approaches for isolating monoclonal antibodies from recombinant antibody libraries. However, these display techniques require several rounds of affinity selection which is time-consuming. Here, we combined mRNA display with a microfluidic system for in vitro selection and evolution of antibodies and achieved ultrahigh enrichment efficiency of 106- to 108-fold per round. After only one or two rounds of selection, antibodies with high affinity and specificity were obtained from naïve and randomized single-chain Fv libraries of ~1012 molecules. Furthermore, we confirmed that not only protein–protein (antigen–antibody) interactions, but also protein–DNA and protein–drug interactions were selected with ultrahigh efficiencies. This method will facilitate high-throughput preparation of antibodies and identification of protein interactions in proteomic and therapeutic fields. 相似文献

We disclosed a novel series of G-protein coupled receptor 119 (GPR119) agonists based on a bicyclic amine scaffold. Through the optimization of hit compound 1, we discovered that the basic nitrogen atom of bicyclic amine played an important role in GPR119 agonist activity expression and that an indanone in various bicyclic rings was suitable in this series of compounds. The indanone derivative 2 showed the effect of plasma glucose control in oGTT and scGTT in the rodent model. 相似文献

Neutrophil infiltration mediated by TNF-alpha is associated with various types of gastric injury, whereas PGs play a crucial role in gastric defense. We examined roles of two isoforms of cyclooxygenase (COX) and PGE2 in Helicobacter pylori-induced gastritis in mice. Mice infected with H. pylori were given selective COX-1 inhibitor SC-560 (10 mg/kg), selective COX-2 inhibitor NS-398 (10 mg/kg), or nonselective COX inhibitor indomethacin (2 mg/kg) with or without 16,16-dimethyl PGE2 for 1 wk. H. pylori infection increased levels of mRNA for COX-1 and -2 in gastric tissue by 1.2-fold and 3.3-fold, respectively, accompanied by a significant increase in PGE2 production by gastric tissue. H. pylori infection significantly elevated MPO activity, a marker of neutrophil infiltration, and epithelial cell apoptosis in the stomach. SC-560 augmented MPO activity and epithelial cell apoptosis with associated reduction in PGE2 production, whereas NS-398 had the same effects without affecting PGE2 production. Inhibition of both COX-1 and -2 by indomethacin or concurrent treatment with SC-560 and NS-398 resulted in a stronger increase in MPO activity and apoptosis than inhibition of either COX-1 or -2 alone. H. pylori infection elevated TNF-alpha mRNA expression in the stomach, which was further increased by indomethacin. Effects of COX inhibitors on neutrophil infiltration, apoptosis, and TNF-alpha expression in H. pylori-infected mice were abolished by exogenous 16,16-dimethyl PGE2. In conclusion, PGE2 derived from either COX-1 or -2 is involved in regulation of gastric mucosal inflammation and contributes to maintenance of mucosal integrity during H. pylori infection via inhibition of TNF-alpha expression. 相似文献

Phospholipase D, with a molecular mass of 64 kDa, was purified from the psychrophile, Shewanella sp. The enzyme showed maximal activity at pH 7.8 and 40 degrees C in the presence of the Ca2+-ion, and its activity at 10 degrees C was 6.5% of maximum. The enzyme exhibited high activity to the non-micelle form of phosphatidylcholine in an aqueous solution containing water miscible alcohols such as methanol, ethanol, iso-propanol, and n-propanol. Nucleotide sequencing of the enzyme gene yielded a deduced amino acid sequence, which showed 36.2% identity to that of Streptomyces chromofuscus phospholipase D alone. The low sequence similarity to other phospholipase D enzymes suggests that the purified enzyme might be a novel phospholipase D. 相似文献

Here we describe the application of the in vitro virus mRNA display method, which involves covalent linkage of an in vitro-synthesized antibody (phenotype) to its encoding mRNA (genotype) through puromycin, for in vitro evolution of single-chain Fv (scFv) antibody fragments. To establish the validity of this approach to directed antibody evolution, we used random mutagenesis by error-prone DNA shuffling and off-rate selection to improve the affinity of an anti-fluorescein scFv as a model system. After four rounds of selection of the library of mRNA-displayed scFv mutants, we obtained six different sequences encoding affinity-matured mutants with five consensus mutations. Kinetic analysis of the mutant scFvs revealed that the off-rates have been decreased by more than one order of magnitude and the dissociation constants were improved ~30-fold. The antigen-specificity was not improved by affinity maturation, but remained similar to that of the wild type. Although the five consensus mutations of the high-affinity mutants were scattered over the scFv sequence, analysis by site-directed mutagenesis demonstrated that the critical mutations for improving affinity were the two that lay within the complementarity determining regions (CDRs). Thus, mRNA display is expected to be useful for rapid artificial evolution of high-affinity diagnostic and therapeutic antibodies by optimizing their CDRs. 相似文献
