Purification of a new restriction endonuclease, StyI, from Escherichia coli carrying the hsd+ miniplasmid 总被引:3,自引:0,他引:3
A new restriction endonuclease, StyI, free of contaminating nuclease activities, has been isolated from Escherichia coli carrying the hsd+ miniplasmid of Salmonella typhi origin. In the presence of 10 mM Mg2+, it recognizes and cleaves a hexanucleotide sequence of 5'-C decreases C(AT)(AT)GG. The advantages of the StyI endonuclease include its stability, high yield (more than 2 X 10(3) units/g of wet cells), easy handling of producer cells, and the ability to recognize new sequences, CCAAGG and CCTTGG. 相似文献

A new restriction-like endonuclease, SlaI, was found and partially purified from Streptomyces lavendulae ATCC8664. This endonuclease cleaved bacteriophage lambda DNA at only one site, and cytosine-substituted bacteriophage T4 DNA at 16 sites. The recognition sequence was determined by using SlaI fragments of cytosine-substituted bacteriophage T4 DNA. The hexanucleotide recognized by SlaI endonuclease was with the sites of cleavage as indicated by the arrows. Therefore, SlaI endonuclease was an isochizomer of XhoI endonuclease. 相似文献

A new series of pendant-type polymer-cobalt(III) complexes, [Co(LL)2(BPEI)Cl]2+, (where BPEI?=?branched polyethyleneimine, LL?=?dipyrido[3,2-a:2′,3′-c](6,7,8,9-tetrahydro)phenazine (dpqc), dipyrido[3,2-d:2′,3′-f]quinoxaline (dpq) and imidazo[4,5-f]1,10-phenanthroline (ip)) each with three different degrees of coordination have been synthesized and characterized. Studies to know the mode and strength of interaction between these polymer–metal complexes and calf thymus DNA have been performed by UV–Visible absorption and emission techniques. Among these series, each polymer metal complex having higher binding strength with DNA has been selected to test against human cancer/normal cell lines. On the basis of these spectral studies, it is proposed that our polymer–metal complexes bind with DNA mainly through intercalation along with some electrostatic binding. The order of binding strength for the complexes with ligand, dpqc?>?dpq?>?ip. The analysis of the results suggests that polymer–cobalt(III) complexes with higher degree of coordination effectively binds with DNA due to the presence of large number of positively charged cobalt(III) chelates in the polymer chain which cooperatively act to increase the overall binding strength. These polymer–cobalt(III) complexes with hydrophobic ligands around the cobalt(III) metal centre favour the base stacking interactions via intercalation. All the complexes show very good anticancer activities and increasing of binding strength results in higher inhibition value. The polymer–cobalt(III) complex with dpqc ligand possess two fold increased anticancer activity when compared to complexes with other ligands against MCF-7 cells. Besides, the complexes were insensitive towards the growth of normal cells (HEK-293) at the IC50 concentration. 相似文献

Lymphangiogenesis is implicated in lymphatic metastasis of tumor cells. Recently, growing evidences show that endothelial progenitor cells (EPCs) are involved in lymphangiogenesis. This study has investigated effects of VEGF-C/VEGFR-3 (vascular endothelial growth factor receptor-3) signaling pathway on EPC differentiation and effectiveness of inhibiting lymphatic formation of EPCs with VEGFR-3 siRNA delivered in PEI (polyethylenimine)-alginate nanoparticles. CD34+VEGFR-3+ EPCs were sorted from mononuclear cells of human cord blood. Under induction with VEGF-C, the cells differentiated toward lymphatic endothelial cells. The nanoparticles were formulated with 25 kDa branched PEI and alginate. The size and surface charge of PEI-alginate nanoparticles loading VEGFR-3 siRNA (N/P = 16) are 139.1 nm and 7.56 mV respectively. VEGFR-3 siRNA specifically inhibited expression of VEGFR-3 mRNA in the cells. After treatment with PEI-alginate/siRNA nanocomplexes, EPCs could not differentiate into lymphatic endothelial cells, and proliferation, migration and lymphatic formation of EPC-derived cells were suppressed significantly. These results demonstrate that VEGFR-3 signaling plays an important role in differentiation of CD34+VEGFR-3+ EPCs. VEGFR-3 siRNA delivered with PEI-alginate nanoparticles can effectively inhibit differentiation and lymphangiogenesis of EPCs. Inhibiting VEGFR-3 signaling with siRNA/nanocomplexes would be a potential therapy for suppression of tumor lymphangiogenesis and lymphatic metastasis. 相似文献

A novel target specific small interfering RNA (siRNA) delivery system was successfully developed using polyethyleneimine (PEI)-hyaluronic acid (HA) conjugate. Anti-PGL3-Luc siRNA was used as a model system suppressing the PGL3-Luc gene expression. The siRNA/PEI-HA complex with an average size of ca. 21 nm appeared to be formed by electrostatic interaction between the negatively charged siRNA and the positively charged PEI of PEI-HA conjugate. The cytotoxicity of siRNA/PEI-HA complex to B16F1 cells was lower than that of siRNA/PEI complex according to the MTT assay. When B16F1 and HEK-293 cells were treated with fluorescein isothiocyanate (FITC) labeled siRNA/PEI-HA complex, B16F1 cells, with a lymphatic vessel endothelial hyaluronan receptor-1 (LYVE-1), showed higher green fluorescent intensity than HEK-293 cells because of the HA receptor mediated endocytosis of the complex. Accordingly, the PGL3-Luc gene silencing of anti-PGL3-Luc siRNA/PEI-HA complex was more efficient in B16F1 cells than in HEK-293 cells. In addition, the inhibited PGL3-Luc gene silencing effect in the presence of free HA in the transfection medium revealed that siRNA/HA-PEI complex was selectively taken up to B16F1 cells via HA receptor mediated endocytosis. All these results demonstrated that the intracellular delivery of anti-PGL3-Luc siRNA/PEI-HA complex could be facilitated by the HA receptor mediated endocytosis. 相似文献

Aerosol gene therapy 总被引:9,自引:0,他引:9
Gene therapy is a novel field of medicine that holds tremendous therapeutic potential for a variety of human diseases. Targeting
of therapeutic gene delivery vectors to the lungs can be beneficial for treatment of various pulmonary diseases such as lung
cancer, cystic fibrosis, pulmonary hypertension, alpha-1 antitrypsin deficiency, and asthma. Inhalation therapy using formulations
delivered as aerosols targets the lungs through the pulmonary airways. The instant access and the high ratio of the drug deposited
within the lungs noninvasively are the major advantages of aerosol delivery over other routes of administration. Delivery
of gene formulations via aerosols is a relatively new field, which is less than a decade old. However, in this short period
of time significant developments in aerosol delivery systems and vectors have resulted in major advances toward potential
applications for various pulmonary diseases. This article will review these advances and the potential future applications
of aerosol gene therapy technology. 相似文献

Large-scale transient transfection of mammalian cells is a recent and powerful technology for the fast production of milligram amounts of recombinant proteins (r-proteins). As many r-proteins used for therapeutic and structural studies are naturally secreted or engineered to be secreted, a cost-effective serum-free culture medium that allows their efficient expression and purification is required. In an attempt to design such a serum-free medium, the effect of nine protein hydrolysates on cell proliferation, transfection efficiency, and volumetric productivity was evaluated using green fluorescent protein (GFP) and human placental secreted alkaline phosphate (SEAP) as reporter genes. The suspension growing, serum-free adapted HEK293SF-3F6 cell line was stably transfected with an EBNA1-expression vector to increase protein expression when using EBV oriP bearing plasmids. Compared to our standard serum-free medium, concomitant addition of the gelatin peptone N3 and removal of BSA slightly enhanced transfection efficiency and significantly increased volumetric productivity fourfold. Using the optimized medium formulation, transfection efficiencies between 40-60% were routinely obtained and SEAP production reached 18 mg/L(-1). To date, we have successfully produced and purified over fifteen r-proteins from 1-14-L bioreactors using this serum-free system. As examples, we describe the scale-up of two secreted his-tagged r-proteins Tie-2 and Neuropilin-1 extracellular domains (ED) in bioreactors. Each protein was successfully purified to >95% purity following a single immobilized metal affinity chromatography (IMAC) step. In contrast, purification of Tie-2 and Neuropilin-1 produced in serum-containing medium was much less efficient. Thus, the use of our new serum-free EBNA1 cell line with peptone-enriched serum-free medium significantly improves protein expression compared to peptone-less medium, and significantly increases their purification efficiency compared to serum-containing medium. This eliminates labor-intensive and expensive chromatographic steps, and allows for the simple, reliable, and extremely fast production of milligram amounts of r-proteins within 5 days posttransfection. 相似文献

Novel grafted agar disks were prepared for the covalent immobilization of β‐D‐galactosidase (β‐gal). The agar disks were activated through reacting with ethylenediamine or different molecular weights of Polyethyleneimine (PEI), followed by glutaraldehyde (GA). The modification of the agar gel and the binding of the enzyme were verified by Fourier Transform Infrared (FTIR) and elemental analysis. Moreover, the agar's activation process was optimized, and the amount of immobilized enzyme increased 3.44 folds, from 38.1 to 131.2 U/g gel, during the course of the optimization process. The immobilization of β‐gal onto the activated agar disks caused its optimum temperature to increase from 45°C to 45–55°C. The optimum pH of the enzyme was also shifted towards the acidic side (3.6–4.6) after its immobilization. Additionally, the Michaelis‐Menten constant (Km) increased for the immobilized β‐gal as compared to its free counterpart whereas the maximum reaction rate (Vmax) decreased. The immobilized enzyme was also shown to retain 92.99% of its initial activity after being used for 15 consecutive times. © 2015 Wiley Periodicals, Inc. Biopolymers 103: 675–684, 2015. 相似文献
