A series of novel, selective TNF-alpha converting enzyme inhibitors based on 4-hydroxy and 5-hydroxy pipecolate hydroxamic acid scaffolds is described. The potency and selectivity of TACE inhibition is dramatically influenced by the nature of the sulfonamide group which interacts with the S1' site of the enzyme. Substituted 4-benzyloxybenzenesulfonamides exhibit excellent TACE potency with >100x selectivity over inhibition of matrix metalloprotease-1 (MMP-1). Alkyl substituents on the ortho position of the benzyl ether moiety give the most potent inhibition of TNF-alpha release in LPS-treated human whole blood. 相似文献

Summary Idiopathic generalized epilepsies (IGEs) are the most common types of epilepsy in childhood and adolescence. A variety of
data suggest that IGEs have a predominant genetic etiology. Recently, a number of gene mutations have been found to be associated
with various types of epilepsy in mainly the Caucasian populations. The objective of this study was to investigate the association
of three different candidate genes with IGE in Kuwaiti Arab children. This study includes 123 Kuwaiti patients with a confirmed
diagnosis of epilepsy. Most of the patients have had a diagnostic EEG with generalized spike-wave discharges (GSWs). All patients
were evaluated by using a validated seizure questionnaire. The clinical type of epilepsy was determined by a trained neurologist/pediatrician.
The study also include 100 controls, the control subjects were children which did not have any history of neurological disorders.
Blood samples were collected from all patients and control subjects after taking informed consent. DNA was isolated and analyzed
by molecular methods. A FokI polymorphism in neuronal nicotinic acetylcholine receptor alpha-4 subunit (CHRNA4) gene was detected by PCR-RFLP method.
A missense mutation (Ser248Phe) in CHRNA4 gene was analyzed by PCR-RFLP using HpaII. A C121W mutation in sodium-channel beta-1 subunit (SCN1B) gene was screened by a PCR-RFLP method using HinPI. A 2-bp deletion in Cystatin B gene was detected by PCR-RFLP using XcmI. The incidence of three FokI polymorphism genotypes in Kuwaiti IGE patients was 1,1 (85%), 1,2 (14%) and 2,2 (1%) respectively. The missense mutation
Ser248Phe of CHRNA4 gene was not detected at all in Kuwaiti IGE patients. The C387G transversion resulting in C121W change
in third exon of the SCN1B gene was detected in 3/123 patients (2%). The patients carrying this mutation also exhibited febrile
seizures. The incidence of 2 bp deletion in the cystatin B gene was found to be 4% (5/123 IGE patients). The data obtained
from molecular analysis show a lack of association between three candidate genes and clinical expression of IGE in Kuwaiti
Arab children. This is completely different from the findings reported from Caucasian populations of France, Australia and
USA in which case a strong association has been reported between IGE and these genes.

The knowledge of molecular alterations in osteoarthritic cartilage is important to identify novel therapeutic targets or to develop new diagnostic tools. We aimed to characterize the molecular response to cartilage degeneration by identification of differentially expressed genes in human osteoarthritic versus normal cartilage. Gene fragments selectively amplified in osteoarthritic cartilage by cDNA representational difference analysis included YKL-39 and the oesophageal-cancer-related-gene-4 (ECRG4). YKL-39 expression was significantly upregulated in cartilage from patients with osteoarthritis (n=14) versus normal subjects (n=8) according to real-time PCR (19-fold, p=0.009) and cDNA array analysis (mean 15-fold, p<0.001) and correlated with collagen 2 up-regulation. In contrast, the homologous cousin molecule YKL-40 (chitinase 3-like 1), which is elevated in serum and synovial fluid of patients with arthritis, showed no significant regulation in OA cartilage. Enhanced levels of YKL-40 may, therefore, be derived from synovial cells while modulation of YKL-39 and collagen 2 expression reflected the cartilage metabolism in response to degradation. 相似文献

The eukaryotic mismatch repair (MMR) protein MSH6 exhibits a core region structurally and functionally similar to bacterial MutS. However, it possesses an additional N-terminal region (NTR), comprising a PCNA binding motif, a large region of unknown function and a nonspecific DNA binding fragment. Yeast NTR was recently described as an extended tether between PCNA and the core of MSH6 . In contrast, we show that human NTR presents a globular PWWP domain in the region of unknown function. We demonstrate that this PWWP domain binds double-stranded DNA, without any preference for mismatches or nicks, whereas its apparent affinity for single-stranded DNA is about 20 times lower. The S144I mutation, which in human MSH6 causes inherited somatic defects in MMR resulting in increased development of hereditary non polyposis colorectal cancer , is located in the DNA binding surface of the PWWP domain. However, it only moderately affects domain stability, and it does not perturb DNA binding in vitro. 相似文献

We previously reported that PGRN directly bound to TNF receptors (TNFR) in vitro and in chondrocytes (Tang, et al., Science, 2011). Here we report that PGRN also associated with TNFR in splenocytes, and inhibited the binding of TNFα to immune cells. Proper folding of PGRN is essential for its binding to TNFR, as DTT treatment abolished its binding to TNFR. In contrast, the binding of PGRN to Sortilin was enhanced by DTT. Protein interaction assays with mutants of the TNFR extracellular domain demonstrated that CRD2 and CRD3 of TNFR are important for the interaction with PGRN, similar to the binding to TNFα. Taken together, these findings provide the molecular basis underlying PGRN/TNFR interaction and PGRN-mediated anti-inflammatory activity in various autoimmune diseases and conditions. 相似文献

A brief version of the Implicit Association Test (BIAT) has been introduced. The present research identified analytical best practices for overall psychometric performance of the BIAT. In 7 studies and multiple replications, we investigated analytic practices with several evaluation criteria: sensitivity to detecting known effects and group differences, internal consistency, relations with implicit measures of the same topic, relations with explicit measures of the same topic and other criterion variables, and resistance to an extraneous influence of average response time. The data transformation algorithms D outperformed other approaches. This replicates and extends the strong prior performance of D compared to conventional analytic techniques. We conclude with recommended analytic practices for standard use of the BIAT. 相似文献
