Growth stimulation by serum in Entamoeba histolytica is associated with protein tyrosine dephosphorylation

Very little protein tyrosine phosphorylation was observed in growing (exponential-phase) Entamoeba histolytica cells by immunoblotting and quantitative immunofluorescence. After 1 h of serum deprivation, two proteins (42 and 38 kDa in SDS-PAGE) were tyrosine phosphorylated and two more proteins (96 and 63 kDa) also showed tyrosine phosphorylation when examined after 4 h of serum deprivation. Intense enhancements of anti-phosphotyrosine immunofluorescence levels were observed during this period of serum withdrawal. Membrane-associated tyrosine kinase activity reached a peak (3.5-fold increase) 1 h after serum deprivation and decreased thereafter reaching a basal level by 2 h of serum deprivation. Interestingly, tyrosine kinase activities remained unaffected by serum stimulation (2-60 min) of serum-deprived cells. Also, during this period of serum stimulation tyrosine phosphorylated proteins of serum-deprived cells were dephosphorylated. Tyrosine phosphatase activities were suppressed during serum deprivation and on serum addition to serum-deprived cells tyrosine phosphatase activities increased significantly. Our data attest that protein tyrosine phosphorylation was associated with growth inhibition of E. histolytica and serum stimulation of E. histolytica produced tyrosine phosphatase activation and protein tyrosine dephosphorylation.     

盐度对大菱鲆幼鱼鳃Na -K -ATPase活力、血清离子浓度 和激素水平的影响

采用饲养试验方法,研究了平均体质量为(7.16±0.07)g的大菱鲆(Scophthalmus maximus)幼鱼分别在盐度12、18、24、30和36下饲养60 d后,其鳃Na+-K+-ATPase活力、血清离子浓度、生长激素(GH)、皮质醇激素(COR)、特定生长率(SGR)和饲料效率(FCE)的变化。结果表明:幼鱼鳃Na+-K+-ATPase活力、血清Na+浓度均随盐度的升高而上升,分别在3.48~8.30 U/mg和169.99~180.00 mmol/L之间,其中12盐度组最低,36盐度组最高。幼鱼血清中K+和Cl-浓度分别在2.20~3.47 mmol/L和136.67~142.00 mmol/L之间,各盐度组之间差异不显著。幼鱼血清中GH和COR浓度分别在0.41~1.66 ng/ml和35.33~76.41 ng/ml之间;其中GH在36盐度组最高,12盐度组最低,而COR在12盐度组最高,36盐度组最低。幼鱼SGR和FCE分别在(1.45~2.00)%/d和1.12%~1.38%之间,与盐度的相关性不显著,两者均为12盐度组最低。由此可见,盐度变化显著影响大菱鲆幼鱼鳃Na+-K+-ATPase活力、血清Na+浓度和激素含量。本研究对大菱鲆养殖生理生态条件分析具有重要参考意义,研究结果可为大菱鲆养殖的盐度选择提供理论依据。     

A strategy for dual inhibition of the proteasome and fatty acid synthase with belactosin C-orlistat hybrids

The proteasome, a validated cellular target for cancer, is central for maintaining cellular homeostasis, while fatty acid synthase (FAS), a novel target for numerous cancers, is responsible for palmitic acid biosynthesis. Perturbation of either enzymatic machine results in decreased proliferation and ultimately cellular apoptosis. Based on structural similarities, we hypothesized that hybrid molecules of belactosin C, a known proteasome inhibitor, and orlistat, a known inhibitor of the thioesterase domain of FAS, could inhibit both enzymes. Herein, we describe proof-of-principle studies leading to the design, synthesis and enzymatic activity of several novel, β-lactone-based, dual inhibitors of these two enzymes. Validation of dual enzyme targeting through activity-based proteome profiling with an alkyne probe modeled after the most potent inhibitor, and preliminary serum stability studies of selected derivatives are also described. These results provide proof of concept for dual targeting of the proteasome and fatty acid synthase-thioesterase (FAS-TE) enabling a new approach for the development of drug-candidates with potential to overcome resistance.     

玉米蛋白粉替代鱼粉对大黄鱼生长、血清生化指标及肝脏组织学的影响

为探讨玉米蛋白粉替代鱼粉对大黄鱼(Larimichthys crocea) 幼鱼生长、血清生化指标及肝脏组织形态的影响, 进行了为期56d的养殖试验, 探索玉米蛋白粉替代大黄鱼幼鱼饲料鱼粉的适当比例。以初始体重为(10.49±0.03) g的大黄鱼幼鱼为研究对象, 用玉米蛋白粉替代基础饲料(含40%鱼粉)0、15%、30%、45%、60%和75%的鱼粉来配制6种等氮(粗蛋白含量45%)等脂(粗脂肪含量10%)的实验饲料, 分别标记为C0、C15、C30、C45、C60、C75组。除C0以外的替代组分别添加了适量的晶体氨基酸(赖氨酸和蛋氨酸)。结果表明, 玉米蛋白粉替代水平对大黄鱼幼鱼存活率、试验鱼特定生长率、饲料系数均无显著性差异(P>0.05)。C45和C60组肌肉粗蛋白含量显著高于C0组(P<0.05), 肌肉粗脂肪含量C45组显著高于C0、C15和C75组 (P<0.05), C45、C60和C75组肌肉水分显著低于C0组(P<0.05), 全鱼粗蛋白、粗脂肪、水分含量无显著差异(P>0.05); 灰分含量有上升趋势, C75组显著高于其他组(P<0.05)。各替代组的血清白蛋白、白球比、谷草转氨酶、葡萄糖均无显著性差异(P>0.05); 随着替代比例的升高, 总胆固醇有降低的趋势, 除C15组与C0无显著性差异外(P>0.05), 4组均显著低于CO组(P<0.05); 实验探讨替代后对鱼的影响, C75组血清总蛋白和球蛋白含量显著低于C0组(P<0.05); C75组血清谷草转氨酶含量显著高于C0(P<0.05)。各处理组总抗氧化能力、过氧化氢酶、谷胱甘肽过氧化氢酶均没有显著性影响(P>0.05), 但替代组总抗氧化能力含量均高于C0; 丙二醛在C75组显著高于C0组(P<0.05)。通过肝组织学观察表明, 当替代比例高于45%时, 呈现肝细胞核偏位、胞浆内脂肪滴较多、细胞透明空泡化等症状。综上所述, 在实验条件下, 研究认为玉米蛋白粉替代鱼粉对大黄鱼幼鱼的适宜添加量为45%。     

Exploring the expression bar code of SAA variants for gastric cancer detection

We reported an integrated platform to explore serum protein variant pattern in cancer and its utility as a new class of biomarker panel for diagnosis. On the model study of serum amyloid A (SAA), we employed nanoprobe‐based affinity mass spectrometry for enrichment, identification and quantitation of SAA variants from serum of 105 gastric cancer patients in comparison with 54 gastritis patients, 54 controls, and 120 patients from other cancer. The result revealed surprisingly heterogeneous and most comprehensive SAA bar code to date, which comprises 24 SAA variants including SAA1‐ and SAA2‐encoded products, polymorphic isoforms, N‐terminal–truncated forms, and three novel SAA oxidized isotypes, in which the variant‐specific peptide sequence were also confirmed by LC‐MS/MS. A diagnostic model was developed for dimension reduction and computational classification of the 24 SAA‐variant bar code, providing good discrimination (AUC = 0.85 ± 3.2E?3) for differentiating gastric cancer group from gastritis and normal groups (sensitivity, 0.76; specificity, 0.81) and was validated with external validation cohort (sensitivity, 0.71; specificity, 0.74). Our platform not only shed light on the occurrence and modification extent of under‐represented serum protein variants in cancer, but also suggested a new concept of diagnostic platform by serum protein variant profile.
