The antitumor effects of therapeutic mAbs may depend on immune effector cells that express FcRs for IgG. IL-12 is a cytokine that stimulates IFN-γ production from NK cells and T cells. We hypothesized that coadministration of IL-12 with a murine anti-HER2/neu mAb (4D5) would enhance the FcR-dependent immune mechanisms that contribute to its antitumor activity. Thrice-weekly therapy with IL-12 (1 μg) and 4D5 (1 mg/kg) significantly suppressed the growth of a murine colon adenocarcinoma that was engineered to express human HER2 (CT-26(HER2/neu)) in BALB/c mice compared with the result of therapy with IL-12, 4D5, or PBS alone. Combination therapy was associated with increased circulating levels of IFN-γ, monokine induced by IFN-γ, and RANTES. Experiments with IFN-γ-deficient mice demonstrated that this cytokine was necessary for the observed antitumor effects of therapy with IL-12 plus 4D5. Immune cell depletion experiments showed that NK cells (but not CD4(+) or CD8(+) T cells) mediated the antitumor effects of this treatment combination. Therapy of HER2/neu-positive tumors with trastuzumab plus IL-12 induced tumor necrosis but did not affect tumor proliferation, apoptosis, vascularity, or lymphocyte infiltration. In vitro experiments with CT-26(HER2/neu) tumor cells revealed that IFN-γ induced an intracellular signal but did not inhibit cellular proliferation or induce apoptosis. Taken together, these data suggest that tumor regression in response to trastuzumab plus IL-12 is mediated through NK cell IFN-γ production and provide a rationale for the coadministration of NK cell-activating cytokines with therapeutic mAbs. 相似文献

“Phosphoinositide” refers to phosphorylated forms of phosphatidylinositol, including phosphatidylinositol-4-phosphate and phosphatidylinositol-4,5-bisphosphate. Both of these molecules could be in vivo substrates of plant phospholipase C. These phosphoinositides can also be biologically active “per se,” by directly binding to proteins and thus altering their location and/or activity. The use of pharmacological agents in Arabidopsis suspension cells allowed us to identify genes whose expression was positively or negatively controlled, in the basal state, by products of phosphoinositide-dependent phospholipase C. In this basal state, it seems that no genes exhibit a phosphoinositide-dependent expression “per se.” However, many genes whose expression is altered in the presence of phospholipase C inhibitors appeared to be responsive to salicylic acid. This allowed us to show that salicylic acid acts both by increasing the phosphoinositide pool and by inhibiting the phospholipase C. In response to salicylic acid it is possible to identify genes whose expression is controlled by products of PI-PLC, but also genes whose expression is controlled by phosphoinositides “per se.” Our data highlight the importance of phosphoinositide-dependent pathways in gene expression in resting cells and in response to phytohormones. 相似文献

Human placenta is a highly perspective source of multipotent stromal cells (MSCs) both for the purposes of patient specific auto-banking and allogeneic application in regenerative medicine. Implementation of new GMP standards into clinical practice enforces the search for relevant methods of cryopreservation and short-term hypothermic storage of placental MSCs. In this paper we analyze the effect of different temperature regimes and individual components of cryoprotective media on viability, metabolic and culture properties of placental MSCs. We demonstrate (I) the possibility of short-term hypothermic storage of these cells; (II) determine DMSO and propanediol as the most appropriate cryoprotective agents; (III) show the possibility of application of volume expanders (plasma substituting solutions based on dextran or polyvinylpyrrolidone); (IV) reveal the priority of ionic composition over the serum content in cryopreservation media; (V) determine a cooling rate of 1°C/min down to -40°C followed by immersion into liquid nitrogen as the optimal cryopreservation regime for this type of cells. This study demonstrates perspectives for creation of new defined cryopreservation methods towards GMP standards. 相似文献

Li-CO2 batteries with a high theoretical energy density (1876 Wh kg−1) have unique benefits for reversible carbon fixation for energy storage systems. However, due to lack of stable and highly active catalysts, the long-term operation of Li-CO2 batteries is limited to low current densities (mainly <0.2 mA cm−2) that are far from practical conditions. In this work, it is discovered that, with an ionic liquid-based electrolyte, highly active and stable transition metal trichalcogenide alloy catalysts of Sb0.67Bi1.33X3 (X = S, Te) enable operation of the Li-CO2 battery at a very high current rate of 1 mA cm−2 for up to 220 cycles. It is revealed that: i) the type of chalcogenide (Te vs S) significantly affects the electronic and catalytic properties of the catalysts, ii) a coupled cation-electron charge transfer process facilitates the carbon dioxide reduction reaction (CO2RR) occurring during discharge, and iii) the concentration of ionic liquid in the electrolyte controls the number of participating CO2 molecules in reactions. A combination of these key factors is found to be crucial for a successful operation of the Li-CO2 chemistry at high current rates. This work introduces a new class of catalysts with potential to fundamentally solve challenges of this type of batteries. 相似文献

The numerous studies indicate leaves of plants are a rich source of bioactive compounds that can be a valuable source of compounds used in the pharmaceutical and cosmetic industries. Aim of this study was to investigate the chemical composition and the antioxidant property of Crocus speciosus leaves. Primary phytochemical screening of C. speciosus leaves revealed the presence of some following compound categories such as phenolic compounds, aminoacids, saponins, proteins, tannins, triterpenoids, glycosides, polysaccharides. The total flavonoids and phenolic compounds content were determined spectrophotometrically and by HPLC-DAD and HPLC-MS. Antiradical activity was determined by ABTS radical-cation scavenging method, spectrophotometrically. The total amount of flavonoids in C. speciosus leaves was 1.07 ± 0.02 mg RE/g (p < 0.05), the total amount of phenolic compounds was 0.41 ± 0.01 mg GAE/g (p < 0.05). By HPLC-DAD-MS analysis the presence of the mangiferin, chlorogenic acid, isoorientin, kaempferol, hyperoside, and isoquercitin was established for the first time in Crocus leaves. The antiradical activity of C. speciosus leaves extracts was 150.08 ± 4.5 μmol/g (p < 0.05) and its was mainly attributed to phenolic compounds content. The high amounts of flavonoids and antiradical activity in C. speciosus leaves suggests promising phytochemical and pharmacological study of this Crocus species. 相似文献

Metastatic melanoma is the most aggressive form of this cancer. It is important to understand factors that increase or decrease metastatic activity in order to more effectively research and implement treatments for melanoma. Increased cell invasion through the extracellular matrix is required for metastasis and is enhanced by matrix metalloproteinases (MMPs). Tissue inhibitor of metalloproteinases 3 (TIMP3) inhibits MMP activity. It was previously shown by our group that miR-21, a potential regulator of TIMP3, is over-expressed in cutaneous melanoma. It was therefore hypothesized that increased levels of miR-21 expression would lead to decreased expression of TIMP3 and thereby enhance the invasiveness of melanoma cells. miR-21 over-expression in the melanoma cell lines WM1552c, WM793b, A375 and MEL 39 was accomplished via transfection with pre-miR-21. Immunoblot analysis of miR-21-overexpressing cell lines revealed reduced expression of TIMP3 as compared to controls. This in turn led to a significant increase in the invasiveness of the radial growth phase cell line WM1552c and the vertical growth phase cell line WM793b (p < 0.05), but not in the metastatic cell lines A375 or MEL 39. The proliferation and migration of miR-21 over-expressing cell lines was not affected. Reduced expression of TIMP3 was achieved by siRNA knockdown and significantly enhanced invasion of melanoma cell lines, mimicking the effects of miR-21 over-expression. Treatment of tumor cells with a linked nucleic acid antagomir to miR-21 inhibited tumor growth and increased tumor expression of TIMP3 in vivo in 01B74 Athymic NCr-nu/nu mice. Intra-tumoral injections of anti-miR-21 produced similar effects. This data shows that increased expression of miR-21 enhanced the invasive potential of melanoma cell lines through TIMP3 inhibition. Therefore, inhibition of miR-21 in melanoma may reduce melanoma invasiveness. 相似文献

Activities of antioxidant and associated enzymes, and oxidative stress markers were assessed in newly enclosed adult fruit flies Drosophila melanogaster developed on diets with 4 and 10% glucose or fructose. In fly males, 10% fructose promoted higher content of protein carbonyls and catalase activity, but lower superoxide dismutase (SOD) activity than 4%, while in females-lower levels of high molecular mass thiols (H-SH). Females at all diets had virtually the same level of lipid peroxides, low-molecular-mass thiols, catalase, and superoxide dismutase activities. Fed with 4% fructose and glucose males demonstrated 24 and 26% lower H-SH level than females, respectively. On diets with 4% glucose, 10% glucose and fructose females had 32, 26 and 27% lower catalase activity than respective males, and 1.3-1.5-fold lower glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase activity on glucose-containing diets. Strong positive correlations between H-SH level and G6PD activity, as well as between catalase and G6PDH activity were found. These results suggest that type and concentration of dietary carbohydrate affect antioxidant defense in fruit flies. It also substantially depends on fly sex, comprising presumably levels of protein carbonyls and lipid peroxides, as well as catalase and SOD activities in males and G6PDH activity in females. 相似文献

Seed growth and accumulation of storage products relies on the delivery of sucrose from the maternal to the filial tissues. The transport route is hidden inside the seed and has never been visualized in vivo. Our approach, based on high‐field nuclear magnetic resonance and a custom made 13C/1H double resonant coil, allows the non‐invasive imaging and monitoring of sucrose allocation within the seed. The new technique visualizes the main stream of sucrose and determines its velocity during the grain filling in barley (Hordeum vulgare L.). Quantifiable dynamic images are provided, which allow observing movement of 13C‐sucrose at a sub‐millimetre level of resolution. The analysis of genetically modified barley grains (Jekyll transgenic lines, seg8 and Risø13 mutants) demonstrated that sucrose release via the nucellar projection towards the endosperm provides an essential mean for the control of seed growth by maternal organism. The sucrose allocation was further determined by structural and metabolic features of endosperm. Sucrose monitoring was integrated with an in silico flux balance analysis, representing a powerful platform for non‐invasive study of seed filling in crops. 相似文献
