The course of leprosy depends of the host immune response which ranges from the lepromatous pole (LL) to the tuberculoid pole (TT). A comparative study was conducted in 60 patients with the LL and TT. The results showed a mean expression of TGF-β of 339 ± 99.4 cells/field for TT and of 519.2 ± 68.2 cells/field for LL. Frequency of apoptosis was 6.3 ± 1.8 in TT and 14.0 ± 6.1 in LL. A correlation (p = 0.0251) between TGF-β and caspase-3 in the LL was found. This finding indicates a role of TGF-β and apoptosis in the immune response in leprosy. 相似文献

A defined minimal medium has been developed which is either restrictive or permissive for the production of ochratoxin A byPenicillium verrucosum simply by changing the nitrogen and carbon source. The combination of ammonium/glycerin promoted, whereas the combination nitrate/glucose repressed ochratoxin production.In parallel mutants ofP verrucosum have been constructed by restriction endonuclease mediated integration, which were not able to produce ochratoxin. Different types of transformants, which either produce no detectable amounts of ochratoxin A but ochratoxin α, strains which produce only ochratoxin B and strains which produces none of these secondary metabolites, have been observed. 相似文献

Structural comparison of fibroblast growth factor-specific heparan sulfates derived from a growing or differentiating neuroepithelial cell line 总被引:3,自引:1,他引:2

Heparan sulfate (HS) glycosaminoglycans are essential modulators of
fibroblast growth factor (FGF) activity both in vivo and in vitro, and
appear to act by cross-linking particular forms of FGF to appropriate FGF
receptors. We have recently isolated and characterized two separate HS
pools derived from immortalized embryonic day 10 mouse neuroepithelial 2.3D
cells: one from cells in log growth phase, which greatly potentiates the
activity of FGF-2, and the other from cells undergoing contact-inhibition
and differentiation, which preferentially activates FGF-1. These two pools
of HS have very similar functional activities to those species isolated
from primary neuroepithelial cells at corresponding stages of active
proliferation or differentiation. We present here a structural comparison
between these cell line HS species to establish the nature of the changes
that occur in the biosynthesis of HS. A combination of chemical and
enzymatic cleavage, low pressure chromatography and strong anion-exchange
HPLC were used to generate full chain models of each species. Overall, the
HS pools synthesized in the dividing cell line pools possessed less complex
sulfation than those derived from more differentiated, growth arrested
cells.

Heterologous expression of an engineered truncated form of human Lewis fucosyltransferase (Fuc-TIII) by the methylotrophic yeast Pichia pastoris 总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1

A stable GS115 Pichia pastoris recombinant strain was constructed to
secrete a truncated form of the human alpha(1,3/4) fucosyltransferase
(amino acids 45-361). Enzyme production resulted from a secretory pathway
based on the pre-pro- alpha mating factor signal sequence of the yeast
Saccharomyces cerevisiae . Following its transit through the Golgi
apparatus, the enzyme accumulated in the periplasmic space before its
release in the culture broth (about 30 mg/l). Cell-enclosed enzyme (
approximately 0.16%) proved to be fairly stable for many freezing and
thawing cycles and could be used several times as an immobilized catalyst.
Soluble enzyme (>99.8%) representing the main protein of the culture
broth (10%) has been characterized by Western-blotting, substrate
specificities and kinetic parameters. The two forms (cell- enclosed and
soluble) of recombinant enzyme may be used for in vitro synthesis of
Lewisadeterminants.

The “Outwelling Theory” states that salt marshes play a major role in exporting production to adjacent estuarine and coastal
ecosystems. However, it has been found that some marshes act as net importers instead of net exporters of organic matter and
nutrients. Once we include mangroves and refine the analysis to comprehend bacterioplankton, organic and stable isotope tracers,
the picture became, more complex, making room for a revival of the outwelling idea. The exchanges between the Castro Marim
salt marsh and the main estuary were tentatively established determining periodically, in a selected cross-section, the concentrations
of TSS, FSS, VSS, NH4, NO2, NO3, NKjeldhal, SiO4, PO4, TDP, Chlorophyll a and Pheopigments, measuring their fluxes along tidal cycles and computing the corresponding budgets. Apparently, the sedimentary
behaviour of the marsh will be close to equilibrium during the period of study. However, it will import mainly inert matter
and export mainly organic matter in the same period. Moreover, extrapolating these results to the entire Guadiana salt marshes,
the exchanges of sediment do not seem to be significant. Particularly, the marshes will not trap a significantly amount sediment
transported by the main river (0.5%). It also seems to follow, that in a general way, the Guadiana salt marshes might have
a more significant role than was anticipated in the system economy of OM and nutrients and their outwelling to coastal waters,
assuring outputs that could amount to something like 6% of the river load of N, 1.2% of the river load of P, and 20-57% of
the river load of TOC, for an average year, and 42% of the river load of N and 35% of the river load of P in a dry year. These
findings suggest that a more detailed investigation, over an extended period of time, is certainly worthwhile. 相似文献

NIP7 is one of the many trans-acting factors required for eukaryotic ribosome biogenesis, which interacts with nascent pre-ribosomal particles and dissociates as they complete maturation and are exported to the cytoplasm. By using conditional knockdown, we have shown previously that yeast Nip7p is required primarily for 60S subunit synthesis while human NIP7 is involved in the biogenesis of 40S subunit. This raised the possibility that human NIP7 interacts with a different set of proteins as compared to the yeast protein. By using the yeast two-hybrid system we identified FTSJ3, a putative ortholog of yeast Spb1p, as a human NIP7-interacting protein. A functional association between NIP7 and FTSJ3 is further supported by colocalization and coimmunoprecipitation analyses. Conditional knockdown revealed that depletion of FTSJ3 affects cell proliferation and causes pre-rRNA processing defects. The major pre-rRNA processing defect involves accumulation of the 34S pre-rRNA encompassing from site A' to site 2b. Accumulation of this pre-rRNA indicates that processing of sites A0, 1 and 2 are slower in cells depleted of FTSJ3 and implicates FTSJ3 in the pathway leading to 18S rRNA maturation as observed previously for NIP7. The results presented in this work indicate a close functional interaction between NIP7 and FTSJ3 during pre-rRNA processing and show that FTSJ3 participates in ribosome synthesis in human cells. 相似文献
