We report on the synthesis by coupling of a triterpenoid oleanolic acid with 4'-diethylamino-3-hydroxyflavone (FE) to produce an environment-sensitive biomembrane probe with two-band ratiometric response in fluorescence emission. The synthesized compound (probe FOT) was tested in a series of model solvents and demonstrated the response to solvent polarity and intermolecular hydrogen bonding very similar to that of parent probe FE. Meantime when incorporated into lipid bilayer membranes, it showed new features differing in response between lipids of different surface charges as well as between glycerophospholipids and sphingomyelin. We observed that in the conditions of coexistence of rafts and non-raft structures the probe is excluded from the rafts. 相似文献

This work investigated a three-generation Menkes disease family, where germ-line mosaicism was suspected in the maternal grandmother of the index patient. She had given birth to 2 boys who died of suspected Menkes disease on the basis of clinical and photographic evidence. Biochemical analysis of the index patient confirmed the diagnosis of Menkes disease, and DNA analysis established a partial gene deletion (EX11_EX23del), involving exons 11-23 and the 3'-untranslated region (UTR) of ATP7A. A junction fragment was detectable by Southern blot analysis, which enabled carrier analysis. The mother was demonstrated to be a carrier, whereas analysis of lymphoblasts and skin fibroblasts from the maternal grandmother gave no indication of a partial gene deletion. No materials were available from the possibly affected maternal uncles. Further genetic analyses, including biochemical testing of the grandmother and haplotype analysis using four intragenic markers on DNA from selected members of the family, corroborated this finding. The combined results from DNA analyses showed that the grandmother had transmitted three different ATP7A haplotypes to her offspring: (1) the at-risk allele (CA(B))-1 and the deletion; (2) the at-risk allele (CA(B))-1 without deletion; and (3) the second allele (CAB)-2 without deletion. In conclusion, our study demonstrated segregation of Menkes disease within the family investigated that can best be explained by extensive germ-line mosaicism in the maternal grandmother. The finding of germ-line mosaicism has obvious implications for genetic counseling of Menkes disease families. 相似文献

Branchio-oto-renal (BOR) syndrome is an autosomal dominant disorder characterized by variable clinical manifestations including branchial fistulae, preauricular pits, ear malformations, hearing impairment, and renal anomalies. BOR is caused by mutations in the genes EYA1 and SIX1. A Danish BOR family with five affected individuals in three generations was analyzed for mutations in all 17 exons of EYA1 using direct sequencing of polymerase chain reaction (PCR) amplified genomic DNA. A novel splice-site mutation (IVS9+1 G>C) was detected in all affected family members but not in unaffected family members or in 96 controls. We conclude that this mutation is causing BOR in the family, most likely as a result of haploinsufficiency or an abnormal protein product caused by aberrant splicing of EYA1 mRNA. 相似文献

We investigated the effects of microwave irradiation on a safranin O staining method for paraffin sections of formalin fixed rabbit larynx. The control sections were stained according to the conventional method, and the experimental sections were stained in microwave oven for 10 sec at 360 W in Weigert's iron hematoxylin, and for 30 sec at 360 W in fast green and 0.1% safranin O staining solutions. Light microscopic examination of the sections revealed that the microwave heating did not adversely affect the staining properties of cartilage tissue compared to the conventional staining method. Small differences such as darker staining of the matrix and shrinkage of the cytoplasm was observed in some microwave treated sections. The present study revealed that microwave application can be used safely for the safranin O method with the advantage of reduced staining time. 相似文献

Chinese hamster ovary (CHO) cells are widely used in the biopharmaceutical industry. In the creation of mammalian cell lines plasmid DNA carrying the gene‐of‐interest integrates randomly into the host cell genome, which results in variable levels of gene expression between cell lines due to gene silencing mechanisms. In addition, cell lines often show unstable protein production during long‐term culture. This means that a large number of clones need to be screened in order to isolate stable, high producing cell lines making mammalian cell line development a long and laborious process. In this study an expression platform incorporating a Ubiquitous Chromatin Opening Element (UCOE; which are proposed to maintain chromatin in an open state) has been utilised for the expression of eGFP in CHO cells. Cell lines containing a UCOE vector, showed a significantly higher and more consistent eGFP expression than the non‐UCOE cell lines without DHFR amplification. To further improve recombinant protein production cell lines were amplified with methotrexate (MTX). UCOE cell lines showed improved growth in MTX therefore amplification to 250 nM MTX was achieved following a one‐step amplification procedure. However, non‐UCOE cell lines showed higher levels of eGFP production following MTX amplification. In addition, UCOE cell lines did not improve stability during long‐term culture in the absence of selective pressure. Stable eGFP production was achieved for all cell lines when MTX is present. Finally, UCOE cell lines displayed more consistent response to external stimuli than non‐UCOE cell lines, suggesting that UCOE cell lines are less prone to clonal variability. © 2015 American Institute of Chemical Engineers Biotechnol.

Production of secreted mammalian proteins for structural and biophysical studies can be challenging, time intensive, and costly. Here described is a time and cost efficient protocol for secreted protein expression in mammalian cells and one step purification using nickel affinity chromatography. The system is based on large scale transient transfection of mammalian cells in suspension, which greatly decreases the time to produce protein, as it eliminates steps, such as developing expression viruses or generating stable expressing cell lines. This protocol utilizes cheap transfection agents, which can be easily made by simple chemical modification, or moderately priced transfection agents, which increase yield through increased transfection efficiency and decreased cytotoxicity. Careful monitoring and maintaining of media glucose levels increases protein yield. Controlling the maturation of native glycans at the expression step increases the final yield of properly folded and functional mammalian proteins, which are ideal properties to pursue X-ray crystallography. In some cases, single step purification produces protein of sufficient purity for crystallization, which is demonstrated here as an example case. 相似文献
