Human umbilical cord-derived MSC culture: the replacement of animal sera with human cord blood plasma

Human umbilical cord-derived mesenchymal stem cells (hUC-MSCs) hold great potential for their therapeutic use in various clinical diseases. Many publications have reported on human blood-derived alternatives to animal serum for culturing mesenchymal stem cells, such as human serum, allogenic umbilical cord blood serum, and human platelet derivatives. However, it is not clear whether human umbilical cord blood plasma (UCBP), as the surplusage of umbilical cord blood mesenchymal stem cell extraction, could be used. In this study, in order to make the best of umbilical cord blood, the human UCBP was dialyzed to replace fetal bovine serum (FBS) in the culture medium. hUC-MSCs were cultured in the new medium. Cell growth rate, specific biomarkers, and differentiation properties were detected to characterize the cell proliferation and MSC-specific properties. The hUC-MSCs cultured in such derived medium were verified with proliferation rate, cluster differentiation markers, cell cycle, as well as differentiation capabilities. Such dialyzed human UCBP is fully comparable with, if not superior to, FBS in deriving and culturing hUC-MSCs.     

肺癌组织中岩藻糖化糖链结构免疫组化研究

Lewis X(Le~x)、唾液酸化的Lewis X(Sialyl Lewis X,SLe~x)和唾液酸化的双岩藻糖Lewis X(Sialyl Dimeric Lewis X,SDLe~x)是细胞表面外侧带α1,3岩藻糖的糖链结构。本文用免疫组化ABC法研究了肺癌原发灶、转移灶和癌旁组织中这三种抗原结构的表达。结果发现这三种抗原在肺癌细胞表面及胞浆中均有不同程度的表达,而在肺癌癌旁组织及正常肺组织中未见表达。有转移的肺癌和(或)低分化肺癌中这三种抗原结构的表达要明显高于未发生转移和高、中分化肺癌中相同抗原结构的表达。其中以SLe~x的表达与肺癌细胞的转移能力和分化程度关系最为密切。另外,肺癌浸润转移的淋巴结中也有Le~x、SLe~x的明显表达和SDLe~x的少量表达,而未被肺癌浸润转移的淋巴结中就没有它们的表达。     

放线菌结瘤植物根与根瘤中有机氮化物的组分及其上运形式

杨梅、沙棘和赤杨三种放线菌结瘤植物根瘤、根部有机氮化物的组分中,都含有占总有机氮化物50％以上的尿囊酸,说明在它们的根瘤中合成了大量的酰脲;同时,三种植物结瘤植株的茎木质部提取物中也含有大量的尿囊酸,表明根瘤将其合成的酰脲向植物地上部位运送。三种植物的根瘤还将其合成的特定的氨基酸及酰胺向地上部位转运,其中杨梅根瘤将固定的氮素以Asn和Gln的形式输出,而根部则以Arg的形式向上转运;沙棘根瘤以Ash,Gln及Ser,赤杨根瘤以Cit的形式合成并转运固定的氮素;后两种植物的无根瘤植株,以NH_4~+为氮源时,在转运的氨基酸组分中Arg的比例明显提高。     

Aptamer selection for the detection of Escherichia coli K88

In this study, the first group of single-stranded DNA aptamers that are highly specific to enterotoxigenic Escherichia coli (ETEC) K88 was obtained from an enriched oligonucleotide pool by the SELEX (Systematic Evolution of Ligands by Exponential Enrichment) procedure, during which the K88 fimbriae protein was used as the target and bovine serum albumin as counter targets. These aptamers were applied successfully in the detection of ETEC K88. They were then grouped under different families based on the similarity of their secondary structure and the homology of their primary sequence. Four sequences from different families were deliberately chosen for further characterization by fluorescence analysis. Having the advantage of high sensitivity, fluorescence photometry was selected as single-stranded DNA quantification method during the SELEX process. Aptamers with the highest specificity and affinity were analyzed to evaluate binding ability with E. coli. Since ETEC K88 is the only type of bacterium that expressed abundant K88 fimbriae, the selected aptamers against the K88 fimbriae protein were able to specifically identify ETEC K88 among other bacteria. This method of detecting ETEC K88 by aptamers can also be applied to bacteria other than ETEC K88.

9-polylysine protein transduction domain: enhanced penetration efficiency of superoxide dismutase into mammalian cells and skin

Antioxidant enzymes, such as superoxide dismutase (SOD) and catalase (CAT), have been considered to have a beneficial effect against various diseases that are mediated by the reactive oxygen species (ROS). Although a variety of modified recombinant antioxidant enzymes have been generated to protect against oxidative stresses, the lack of their transduction ability into cells resulted in a limited ability to detoxify intracellular ROS. To render the SOD enzyme capable of detoxifying intracellular ROS when added extracellularly, cell-permeable recombinant SOD proteins were generated. A human Cu,Zn-superoxide dismutase (Cu,Zn-SOD) gene was fused with a gene fragment that encodes the 9 amino acids Tat protein transduction domain (RKKRRQRRR) of HIV-1 and lysine rich peptide (KKKKKKKKK) in a bacterial expression vector in order to produce a genetic in-frame Tat-SOD and 9Lys-SOD fusion protein, respectively. The expressed and purified Tat-SOD and 9Lys-SOD fusion proteins can transduce into human fibroblast cells, and they were enzymatically active and stable for 24 h. The cell viability of the fibroblast cells that were treated with paraquat, an intracellular superoxide anion generator, was increased by the transduced Tat-SOD or 9Lys-SOD. The transduction efficacy of 9Lys-SOD was more efficient than that of Tat-SOD. We evaluated the ability of the SOD fusion pmteins to transduce into animal skin. This analysis showed that Tat-SOD and 9Lys-SOD fusion proteins efficiently penetrated into the epidermis as well as the dermis of the subcutaneous layer, when sprayed on mice skin (judged by the immunohistochemistry and specific enzyme activities). The enzymatic activity of the transduced 9Lys-SOD was higher than that of Tat-SOD, indicating that the penetration of 9Lys-SOD was more efficient when put into the skin. These results suggest Tat-SOD and 9Lys-SOD fusion proteins can be used as anti-aging cosmetics, or in protein therapy, for various disorders that are related to this antioxidant enzyme and ROS.
