Identification and partial purification of K88ab Escherichia coli receptor proteins in porcine brush border membranes

Six receptor proteins, with molecular masses ranging from 94 to 27 kDa, that bind to Escherichia coli K88ab fimbriae were recovered from brush border membranes and were detected after solubilization with Triton X-114. The recovery of these receptor proteins in the aqueous phase suggests their peripheral localization. The 63-, 60- and 33-kDa K88ab binding proteins were recovered using gel-filtration chromatography of the aqueous phase. Electronic Publication     

MyD88在抗衣原体感染的病理损伤过程中的作用

<正>沙眼衣原体(Chlamydia trachomatis,Ct)是引起泌尿生殖道感染的常见性病病原体之一,并可导致不孕、异位妊娠、宫颈鳞状细胞癌等并发症[1]。但有关沙眼衣原体确切的致病机制及机体的抗感染机制目前尚不清     

Cholesterol metabolism: from lipidomics to immunology

Oxysterols, the oxidized forms of cholesterol or of its precursors, are formed in the first steps of cholesterol metabolism. Oxysterols have interested chemists, biologists, and physicians for many decades, but their exact biological relevance in vivo, other than as intermediates in bile acid biosynthesis, has long been debated. However, in the first quarter of this century, a role for side-chain oxysterols and their C-7 oxidized metabolites has been convincingly established in the immune system. 25-Hydroxycholesterol has been shown to be synthesized by macrophages in response to the activation of Toll-like receptors and to offer protection against microbial pathogens, whereas 7α,25-dihydroxycholesterol has been shown to act as a chemoattractant to lymphocytes expressing the G protein-coupled receptor Epstein-Barr virus-induced gene 2 and to be important in coordinating the action of B cells, T cells, and dendritic cells in secondary lymphoid tissue. There is a growing body of evidence that not only these two oxysterols but also many of their isomers are of importance to the proper function of the immune system. Here, we review recent findings related to the roles of oxysterols in immunology.     

大肠杆菌K88菌毛蛋白发酵工艺的初步研究

采用液体培养基包括牛肉膏蛋白胨培养基和强化营养肉汤培养基对大肠杆菌K88进行发酵培养,采用不同摇瓶培养时间和不同pH值的培养基观察发酵结果,研究菌体和菌毛生产量的相关性,并通过紫外分光光度计UV751于600nm处测量菌体OD值以对菌种发酵情况进行检测.热激分离菌体和菌毛蛋白,(NH4)2SO4盐析分离纯化K88菌毛蛋白并用分光光度计于280nm处测定其OD值.透析后经SDSP-AGE检测菌毛蛋白纯度.根据实验结果优化发酵培养条件,确定菌种的最佳发酵工艺,以收获最多的K88菌毛蛋白.经过实验研究,最终确定了大肠杆菌K88在pH值为6.5、转速为250r/min的条件下发酵18个h,菌体和菌毛生产量均达到高峰,同时得出菌毛蛋白和菌体成正相关.     

松江鲈(Trachiderm usfasciatus)髓样分化因子MyD88基因克隆与组织表达分析

髓样分化因子(My D88)是TOLL样受体介导的信号通路中的一个关键接头分子,通过激活核转录因子(nuclear factor-kappa B,NF-κB)而参与机体的先天免疫。克隆了松江鲈的My D88基因(命名为Tf My D88),并对该基因进行了生物信息学和表达模式分析。结果显示,Tf My D88 c DNA序列全长1 555 bp,5'UTR长89 bp,3'UTR长599 bp;开放阅读框长度为867 bp,编码288个氨基酸。SMART软件预测Tf My D88分子的N端为一个保守的死亡结构域(death domain,DD),C端存在典型的TIR(Toll/interleukin-1 receptor)结构域。Tf My D88与其它脊椎动物My D88的氨基酸相似性达57.58%-82.64%,系统进化树分析表明Tf My D88与同属鲈形总目的花鲈和鳜鱼聚在一起,所有鱼类My D88聚为一支。Real-time PCR检测显示Tf My D88广泛表达于松江鲈各组织,但在鳃中的相对表达量最高;其次为脾脏和皮肤。LPS(lipopolysaccharide)刺激后,Tf My D88在松江鲈的血液、肝脏、皮肤、脾脏均出现明显上调。刺激2 h后,在血液Tf My D88表达量升高了近60倍,在皮肤中的表达量也升高了27倍。上述结果表明Tf My D88可能参与松江鲈先天免疫。     

猪髓样分化因子MyD88特异性shRNA干扰载体的构建筛选及干扰效果评价

髓样分化因子My D88(myeloid differentiation factor 88)信号通路是一个具有多种调节功能的传导通路,在免疫反应、炎症反应及肿瘤的发生和发展过程中均发挥重要作用。构建猪(Sus scrofa)My D88基因的shRNA干扰载体,并在转录水平和蛋白质表达水平对其干扰效果进行验证,以筛选出干扰效果最优的干扰载体。根据猪My D88基因(Gen Bank登录号:KC766424.1)全长c DNA序列,利用Invitrogen公司在线设计软件设计出4对shRNA干扰序列,退火成双链后,分别将其插入到p Yr-1.1载体中,构建My D88基因的shRNA真核表达载体p Yr-1.1-pig My D88-sh1、p Yr-1.1-pig My D88-sh2、p Yr-1.1-pig My D88-sh3、p Yr-1.1-pig My D88-sh4,并通过双酶切和测序对其进行鉴定。构建成功后转染猪肺泡巨噬细胞3D4/2,通过Real-time PCR及Western blot验证My D88基因的表达水平,以及对LPS刺激后炎症因子TNF-α基因表达水平的影响。结果表明,所构建的猪My D88基因的特异性shRNA表达载体均可显著降低猪My D88 mRNA和蛋白质的表达水平(P0.05),干扰效率分别达到36%、67%、60%、69%;相比于未干扰组,LPS刺激My D88沉默之后的巨噬细胞,炎症因子TNF-α基因表达水平显著下降(P0.05),表明所构建猪My D88干扰载体干扰效果较好。
