The dose dependence of in vitro effects of low-intensity radiation of a He-Ne laser (632.8 nm, 0.2 mW/cm2) on the functional activity of peritoneal macrophages and lymphocytes of mouse spleen was studied. The exposure of isolated cells was varied from 5 to 180 s. If the exposure did not exceed 60 s, stimulation of secretory activity was observed: increased production of interleukin 2, interferon γ, and interleukin 6 in lymphocytes; increased production of tumor necrosis factor α, nitric oxide, and interleukin 6 in macrophages; and enhanced activity of natural killer cells. A longer exposure (up to 180 s) either had no effect on the synthesis of certain cytokines (interleukin 2 in lymphocytes and interleukin 6 in macrophages) or inhibited it, which was expressed in decreased production of interleukin 6 and interferon γ in lymphocytes and nitric oxide in macrophages, as well as in suppression of the activity of natural killer cells. Conversely, the production of interleukin 3 decreased after a short-term exposure but increased after 180-s irradiation. The high sensitivity of cells to extremely weak laser light also manifested itself as a considerable increase in expression of the inducible heat shock protein 70; this effect was observed at all doses studied, including the 5-s exposure. In contrast, expression of the heat shock protein 90 slightly decreased after irradiation of cells with laser light. 相似文献

Although nucleosomes and histones are lacking in dinoflagellate nuclei, small basic histone‐like proteins have been reported, but their function(s) is unknown. In this study we cloned and sequenced a gene for a histone‐like protein from the dinoflagellate Lingulodinium polyedrum (Stein) Dodge (HLp) (formerly Gonyaulax polyedra Stein) and investigated its post‐translational modification and DNA‐binding activities. HLp appears to be acetylated in L. polyedrum, and we identified several L. polyedrum proteins that possess histone acetyltransferase activity and may be responsible for this modification. HLp binds weakly to L. polyedrum DNA but to certain specific sequences with higher affinity, consistent with its having a regulatory function. 相似文献

The effect of He-Ne laser light of extremely low power (632.8 nm, 0.2 mW/cm2) on the immune status of mice bearing solid tumors was studied. The state of tumor-bearing animals was assessed taking into account the number of immunocompetent cells, concentration of cytokines (tumor necrosis factor and interleukin-2), production of nitric oxide, expression of heat shock proteins 70 and 90, and the activity of natural killer cells. The model of a solid tumor was formed by subcutaneous transplantation of Ehrlich ascite carcinoma cells to mice; the average lifespan of animals was approximately 55 days. Different areas of skin of tumor-bearing mice were irradiated with laser light either singly (1 min; dose, 0.012 J/cm2) or repeatedly (1 min every 3 days over 30 days; total dose, 0.1 J/cm2). It was established that long-term chronic exposure of mice bearing Ehrlich ascite carcinoma cells to low-power laser light in the thymus projection area and especially in the tumor projection area leads to a decrease in the natural antitumor potential, which is manifested in acceleration of tumor growth and a tendency to decrease in the lifespan of tumor-bearing mice. Conversely, stimulation of antitumor immunity was observed over several days after a single exposure to low-power laser radiation. The results suggest that it is expedient to continue studies of the immunomodulating effects of low-power laser light and demonstrate the necessity of monitoring the immune system in the course of laser therapy. 相似文献

Pemphigus foliaceus (PF) is a life-threatening autoimmune blistering skin disease caused by pathogenic IgG autoantibodies against desmoglein 1 (dg1), a desmosomal cadherin-type adhesion glycoprotein. Using lectins and glycosidases, we have shown that dg1 displays an N-glycosylation pattern of the complex triantennary type. We have found that lectins and glycosidases interfere with N-bound sugar residues on the amino-terminal ectodomain of dg1 and completely abolish, in vitro, the antigenicity of dg1 in most of the patients' sera. Moreover, in an ex vivo model using punch biopsies from normal human skin, we demonstrate that preincubation of the epidermis in wheat germ agglutinin (WGA) prevents PF autoantibody binding, acantholysis, and subcorneal blistering. In addition, we show that topical treatment with WGA inhibits PF autoantibody binding to keratinocytes in both newborn BALB/c mice and in organotypic human epidermis grafted onto the back of SCID mice. The epidermis of these pretreated animals displays a regular morphology, whereas control animals develop the immunopathologic phenotype of PF. These findings suggest that WGA may interfere with autoantibody binding to dg1, preventing experimental PF without affecting the adhesive function of dg1. Our observations may provide a new approach to the therapy of PF. 相似文献
