Low‐concentration heparin suppresses ionomycin‐activated CAMK‐II/EGF receptor‐ and ERK‐mediated signaling in mesangial cells

Heparin and endogenous heparinoids inhibit the proliferation of smooth muscle cells, including renal mesangial cells; multiple effects on signaling pathways are well established, including effects on PKC, Erk, and CaMK‐II. Many studies have used heparin at concentrations of 100 µg/ml or higher, whereas endogenous concentrations of heparinoids are much lower. Here we report the effects of low‐concentration (1 µg/ml) heparin on activation of several kinases and subsequent induction of the c‐fos gene in mesangial cells in response to the calcium ionophore, ionomycin, in the absence of serum factors. Ionomycin rapidly increases the phosphorylation of CaMK‐II (by 30 s), and subsequently of the EGF receptor (EGFR), c‐Src, and Erk 1/2. Low‐dose heparin suppresses the ionomycin‐dependent phosphorylation of EGFR, c‐Src, and Erk 1/2, but not of CaMK‐II, whereas inhibition of activated CaMK‐II reduces phosphorylation of EGFR, c‐Src, and Erk. Our data support a mechanism whereby heparin acts at the cell surface to suppress downstream targets of CaMK‐II, including EGFR, leading in turn to a decrease in Erk‐ (but not c‐Src‐) dependent induction of c‐fos.

脱氧雪腐镰刀菌烯醇对人外周血单个核细胞 HLA-I分子表达的影响

研究探讨了脱氧雪腐镰刀菌烯醇(DON)对人外周血单个核细胞HLA-I(human leucocyte cyte antigen I)分子表达影响.采用流式细胞术(FCM)和免疫印迹方法研究了不同剂量DON对体外培养人外周血单个核细胞表面HLA-I分子表达的影响及其量效关系.FCM定量检测结果表明,不同浓度DON处理均可一定程度降低人外周血单个核细胞表面HLA-I分子的表达,DON 50ng/mL、100ng/mL、1000 ng/mL和2000 ng/mL组HLA-I类分子的平均表达量分别为6.92±0.68、6.64±0.69、5.95±0.48和5.48±0.77,在50～2000ng/mL范围内随着DON浓度增加,外周血单个核细胞HLA-I分子表达降低,两者呈显著负相关(r=0.737,P＜0.01).Western印迹结果显示,大剂量DON(1000ng/mL和2000ng/mL)组人外周血单个核细胞HLA-I分子表达明显减弱.研究结果表明脱氧雪腐镰刀菌烯醇可剂量依赖地抑制体外培养的人外周血单个核细胞HLA-I分子的表达.

美国不同棱型大麦种质资源品质分析

对新引进的300份美国大麦种质资源不同棱型间蛋白质、赖氨酸和淀粉含量的鉴定结果分析表明:①二棱大麦蛋白质总体方差与六棱大麦具有极显著的差异,其频率分布分别是以含量12.5%和17.0%为中心的双峰分布,这可能反映了二棱大麦利用上的新特点;淀粉含量二棱大麦显著高于六棱;六棱大麦当蛋白质作为固定变量时,赖氨酸与淀粉的相关性不显著.②提出了促进SPSS统计分析软件在农业科研上的开发应用研究的建议.

Photoaffinity labeling identifies the substrate-binding site of mammalian squalene epoxidase

Squalene epoxidase (SE) catalyzes the conversion of squalene to (3S)-2,3-oxidosqualene. Photolabeling and site-directed mutagenesis were performed on recombinant rat SE (rrSE) in order to identify the location of the substrate-binding site and the roles of key residues in catalysis. Truncated 50-kDa rrSE was purified and photoaffinity labeled by competitive SE inhibitor (Ki=18.4 microM), [(3)H]TNSA-Dza. An 8-kDa CNBr/BNPS-skatole peptide was purified and the first 24 amino acids were sequenced by Edman degradation. The sequence PASFLPPSSVNKRGVLLLGDAYNL corresponded to residues 388-411 of the full-length rat SE. Three nucleophilic residues (Lys-399, Arg-400, and Asp-407) were labeled by [(3)H]TNSA-Dza. Triple mutants were prepared in which bulky groups were used to replace the labeled charged residues. Purified mutant enzymes showed lower enzymatic activity and reduced photoaffinity labeling by [(3)H]TNSA-Dza. This constitutes the first evidence as to the identity of the substrate-binding site of SE.
