Janus激酶1/胞外信号调节激酶通路参与C反应蛋白诱导的心肌细胞MMP-10活性上调

为探讨心肌细胞中Janus 激酶1（JAK1）在C反应蛋白（CRP）诱导的基质金属蛋白酶（MMP）-10活性上调过程中的作用,本研究以炎症细胞因子CRP诱导MMP-10上调的原代乳鼠心肌细胞为研究对象,使用JAK1的特异磷酸化抗体,用Western 印迹技术检查JAK1的磷酸化水平的激活情况.应用Western 印迹技术和酶谱法分别检测胞外信号调节激酶（ERK）的磷酸化水平和MMP-10的活性变化.实验分为4组：对照组,CRP组,CRP+抑制剂组和抑制剂组. 结果显示, 磷酸化的JAK1在CRP刺激后1/12 h即可出现,在1 h达到高峰,而总的JAK1不改变;JAK1抑制剂piceatannol可以使磷酸化的ERK水平减弱,也可以使MMP-10的活性明显降低（P <0.01）. 研究结果提示,JAK1是通过激活ERK,从而上调MMP-10的活性,为心力衰竭提供了一个可能的治疗靶点.

携带cip基因的酿酒酵母对自由生活线虫Panagrellus redivivus生长繁殖的影响

Photorhabdus luminescens细菌与昆虫病原异小杆属Heterorhabditis线虫专性共生。初生型共生细菌产生两种胞内晶体蛋白CipA and CipB,为共生线虫提供营养。为探索Cip蛋白是否对自由生活的全齿复活线虫Panagrellus redivivus具有类似的营养功能,建立了Cip蛋白的重组酿酒酵母表达体系,并用于饲喂无菌的P. redivivus线虫J1幼虫。重组酿酒酵母表达的Cip蛋白能为线虫所利用,表现为营养支持作用,体现为线虫生长发育速度的加快以及繁殖能力的提高,说明Cip蛋白能为此种自由生活线虫提供营养来源。     

姜老师信箱

蛋白质研讨班学员问:姜老师,您好!非常感谢您上次的建议。我们用您说的方法重新尝试了2种不同的胞内表达蛋白,电泳后发现渗透冲击法能有效的把蛋白释放到上清中。虽然目前效率还没有达到100%(目测可能有50%-60%左右的目的蛋白释放到上清中),但相对之前始终没有蛋白的情况已经好了很多。现在我还有2个细节问题想请教一下:1.这种方法的效率能达到90%以上么?如果可以,我们实验的效率能否通过增加低渗液(水)的体积来进一步提高?

Dynamic distribution of Ser-10 phosphorylated histone H3 in cytoplasm of MCF-7 and CHO cells during mitosis

The dynamic distribution of phosphorylated Histone H3 on Serl 0 (phospho-H3) in cells was investigated to determine its function during mitosis. Human breast adenocarcinoma cells MCF-7, and Chinese hamster cells CHO were analyzed by indirect immunofluorescence staining with an antibody against phospho-H3. We found that the phosphorylation begins at early prophase, and spreads throughout the chromosomes at late prophase. At metaphase, most of the phospho-H3 aggregates at the end of the condensed entity of chromosomes at equatorial plate. During anaphase and telophase,the fluorescent signal of phospho-H3 is detached from chromosomes into cytoplasm. At early anaphase, phospho-H3 shows ladder bands between two sets of separated chromosome, and forms “sandwich-like structure” when the chromosomes condensed. With the cleavage progressing, the “ladders” of the histone contract into a bigger bright dot. Then the histone aggregates and some of compacted microtubules in the midbody region are composed into a “bar-like”complex to separate daughter cells. The daughter cells seal their plasma membrane along with the ends of the “bar”,inside which locates microtubules and modified histones, to finish the cytokinesis and keep the “bar complex” out of the cells. The specific distribution and kinetics of phospho-H3 in cytoplasm suggest that the modified histones may take part in the formation of midbody and play a crucial role in cytokinesis.     

Heat shock protein 90 indirectly regulates ERK activity by affecting Raf protein metabolism

Extracellular signal-regulated protein kinase (ERK) has been implicated in the pathogenesis of several nerve system diseases. As more and more kinases have been discovered to be the client proteins of the molecular chaperone Hsp90, the use of Hsp90 inhibitors to reduce abnormal kinase activity is a new treatment strategy for nerve system diseases. This study investigated the regulation of the ERK pathway by Hsp90. We showed that Hsp90 inhibitors reduce ERK phosphorylation without affecting the total ERK protein level. Further investigation showed that Raf, the UPstream kinase in the Ras-Raf-MEK-ERK pathway, forms a complex with Hsp90 and Hsp70. Treating cells with Hsp90 inhibitors facilitates Raf degradation,thereby down-regulating the activity of ERK.
