The regulation of macrophage phenotype by neutrophils was studied in the s.c. polyvinyl alcohol sponge wound model in mice made neutropenic by anti-Gr-1 Ab, as well as in cell culture. Wounds in neutropenic mice contained 100-fold fewer neutrophils than those in nonneutropenic controls 1 day after sponge implantation. Wound fluids from neutropenic mice contained 68% more TNF-alpha, 168% more IL-6, and 61% less TGF-beta1 than those from controls. Wound fluid IL-10 was not different between the two groups, and IL-4 was not detected. Intracellular TNF-alpha staining was greater in cells isolated from neutropenic wounds than in those from control wounds. The hypothesis that wound neutrophil products modulate macrophage phenotype was tested in Transwell cocultures of LPS-stimulated J774A.1 macrophages and day 1 wound cells (84% neutrophils/15% macrophages). Overnight cocultures accumulated 60% less TNF-alpha and IL-6 than cultures of J774A.1 alone. The suppression of cytokine release was mediated by a soluble factor(s), because culture supernatants from wound cells inhibited TNF-alpha and IL-6 release from LPS-stimulated J774A.1 cells. Culture supernatants from purified wound neutrophils equally suppressed TNF-alpha release from LPS-stimulated J774A.1 cells. Wound cell supernatants also suppressed TNF-alpha and superoxide release from murine peritoneal macrophages. The TNF-alpha inhibitory factor has a molecular mass <3000 Da and is neither PGE2 nor adenosine. The present findings confirm a role for neutrophils in the regulation of innate immune responses through modulation of macrophage phenotype. 相似文献

Triglycerides within the cytosol of cells are stored in a phylogenetically conserved organelle called the lipid droplet (LD). LDs can be formed at the endoplasmic reticulum, but mechanisms that regulate the formation of LDs are incompletely understood. Adipose tissue has a high capacity to form lipid droplets and store triglycerides. Fat storage-inducing transmembrane protein 2 (FITM2/FIT2) is highly expressed in adipocytes, and data indicate that FIT2 has an important role in the formation of LDs in cells, but whether FIT2 has a physiological role in triglyceride storage in adipose tissue remains unproven. Here we show that adipose-specific deficiency of FIT2 (AF2KO) in mice results in progressive lipodystrophy of white adipose depots and metabolic dysfunction. In contrast, interscapular brown adipose tissue of AF2KO mice accumulated few but large LDs without changes in cellular triglyceride levels. High fat feeding of AF2KO mice or AF2KO mice on the genetically obese ob/ob background accelerated the onset of lipodystrophy. At the cellular level, primary adipocyte precursors of white and brown adipose tissue differentiated in vitro produced fewer but larger LDs without changes in total cellular triglyceride or triglyceride biosynthesis. These data support the conclusion that FIT2 plays an essential, physiological role in fat storage in vivo. 相似文献

Background
Theracyte is a polytetrafluoroethylene membrane macroencapsulation system designed to induce neovascularization at the tissue interface, protecting the cells from host's immune rejection, thereby circumventing the problem of limited half-life and variation in circulating levels. Endostatin is a potent inhibitor of angiogenesis and tumor growth. Continuous delivery of endostatin improves the efficacy and potency of the antitumoral therapy. The purpose of this study was to determine whether recombinant fibroblasts expressing endostatin encapsulated in Theracyte immunoisolation devices can be used for delivery of this therapeutic protein for treatment of mice bearing B16F10 melanoma and Ehrlich tumors. 相似文献5.

Nature-based tourism is a growing industry in recent years, including underwater trails in clear headwater streams. These activities, however, bring little known impacts, most of them in the individual and population levels. To investigate if human presence can affect the fish community, we compared similar reference and tourism areas in terms of species accumulation curve, ecological indicators (richness, total abundance, diversity and dominance), composition similarity and indicator species. Only fish abundance did not differ between reference and tourism areas. Richness, diversity and dominance were all higher in tourism areas. Fish species composition also differed between reference and tourism, guided by species substitution. We add ecological data to previous behavioral studies that have already evidenced the effects of tourism on fish. We also suggest a strict control of the number and permanence of visitors in the water, the forbiddance of fish feeding and maintenance of the riparian coverage to avoid irreversible damages to these fragile environments. 相似文献

Granulocyte-macrophage colony-stimulating factor (GM-CSF) is one of the major cytokines involved in control of haemopoiesis both in bone marrow and in extramedullar sites. Its biological activity depends upon the composition and physicochemical properties of the microenvironment provided by the supporting stroma. GM-CSF activity is modulated and controlled by the stromal heparan-sulphate proteoglycans, but their optimal interaction occurs only at low pH. We questioned whether the microenvironment organisation of the interface between stroma and haemopoietic cells provides such conditions. We studied myeloid progenitor proliferation in contact with bone marrow-derived and extramedullar stromas using electron microscopy and selective labelling of pericellular components. We present evidence that, upon interaction, the two cell types reorganise their interface both in shape and molecular composition. Haemopoietic cells extend projections that considerably increase the area of intercellular contact, and stromal cells form lamellipodia and carry out a redistribution of membrane-associated sialylated glycoconjugates and proteoglycans. Such rearrangements lead to extensive capping of negatively charged molecules at the interface between the supporting stroma and the haemopoietic cells, leading potentially to a local decrease in pH. Our results indicate that the distribution of negative charges at the cellular interface may be responsible for the selectivity of cell response to GM-CSF.Publication of the Millennium Institute for Tissue Bioengineering.

Proliferating cell nuclear antigen (PCNA) as a proliferative marker during embryonic and adult zebrafish hematopoiesis 总被引:4,自引:1,他引:3

We investigated the expression of proliferative cell nuclear antigen (PCNA) in zebrafish to delineate the proliferative hematopoietic
component during adult and embryonic hematopoiesis. Immunostaining for PCNA and enhanced green fluorescence protein (eGFP)
was performed in wild-type and fli1-eGFP (endothelial marker) and gata1-eGFP (erythroid cell marker) transgenic fish. Expression
of PCNA mRNA was examined in wild-type and chordin morphant embryos. In adult zebrafish kidney, the renal tubules are surrounded
by endothelial cells and it is separated into hematopoietic and excretory compartments. PCNA was expressed in hematopoietic
progenitor cells but not in mature neutrophils, eosinophils or erythroid cells. Some PCNA+ cells are scattered in the hematopoietic
compartment of the kidney while others are closely associated with renal tubular cells. PCNA was also expressed in spermatogonial
stem cells and intestine crypts, consistent with its role in cell proliferation and DNA synthesis. In embryos, PCNA is expressed
in the brain, spinal cord and intermediate cell mass (ICM) at 24 h-post fertilization. In chordin morphants, PCNA is significantly
upregulated in the expanded ICM. Therefore, PCNA can be used to mark cell proliferation in zebrafish hematopoietic tissues
and to identify a population of progenitor cells whose significance would have to be further investigated. 相似文献

Down syndrome is the most common chromosomal abnormality in humans. Patients with Down syndrome have hematologic disorders, including mild to moderate thrombocytopenia. In case of Down syndrome, thrombocytopenia is not associated with bleeding, and it remains poorly characterized regarding molecular mechanisms. We investigated the effects of overexpression of Dyrk1A, an important factor contributing to some major Down syndrome phenotypes, on platelet number and bleeding in mice. Mice overexpressing Dyrk1A have a decrease in platelet number by 20%. However, bleeding time was found to be reduced by 50%. The thrombocytopenia and the decreased bleeding time observed were not associated to an abnormal platelet receptors expression, to a defect of platelet activation by ADP, thrombin or convulxin, to the presence of activated platelets in the circulation or to an abnormal half-life of the platelets. To propose molecular mechanisms explaining this discrepancy, we performed a network analysis of Dyrk1A interactome and demonstrated that Dyrk1A, fibronectin and fibrinogen interact indirectly through two distinct clusters of proteins. Moreover, in mice overexpressing Dyrk1A, increased plasma fibronectin and fibrinogen levels were found, linked to an increase of the hepatic fibrinogen production. Our results indicate that overexpression of Dyrk1A in mice induces decreased bleeding consistent with increased plasma fibronectin and fibrinogen levels, revealing a new role of Dyrk1A depending on its indirect interaction with these two proteins. 相似文献

Systemic production and mobilization of inflammatory cells and formation of hepatic periovular granulomas were studied in Schistosoma mansoni-infected mice with deficient interferon gamma (IFN-gamma) receptor (IFN-gammaR(o/o)). The impaired IFN-gamma signaling did not cause a significant modification of the overall kinetics of inflammatory cells, but mutant mice developed smaller hepatic periovular granulomas with a two-fold reduction in all the cell lineages. In granulomas of normal mice, the fully differentiated macrophages were progressively predominant, whilst in IFN-gammaR(o/o) mice, the granulomas contained a higher percentage of immature and proliferating monocytes. Granulomas of IFN-gammaR(o/o) mice had an enhanced and accelerated fibrotic reaction, corresponding to an increased content of proliferative and activated connective tissue cells. Simultaneously, their granulomas had an increased ratio of T over B cells, with an increase in CD8(+) and a reduction in CD4(+) T cells. The functional IFN-gamma receptor was not required for initial recruitment of monocytes and lymphocytes into granulomas, but it was necessary for the maturation of macrophages, upregulation of major histocompatibility class 2 (MHC-II) expression and consequent stimulation of lymphocyte subpopulations depending upon the MHC-II-mediated antigen presentation. 相似文献

In this article, we report the synthesis of Na2Sr1‐x(PO4)F:Eux phosphor via a combustion method. The influence of different annealing temperatures on the photoluminescence properties was investigated. The phosphor was excited at both 254 and 393 nm. Na2Sr1‐x(PO4)F:Eux3+ phosphors emit strong orange and red color at 593 and 612 nm, respectively, under both excitation wavelengths. Na2Sr1‐x(PO4)F:Eux3+ phosphors annealed at 1050°C showed stronger emission intensity compared with 600, 900 and 1200°C. Moreover, Na2Sr1‐x(PO4)F:Eux3+ phosphor was found to be more intense when compared with commercial Y2O3:Eu3+ phosphor. Copyright © 2013 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd. 相似文献
