Mouse fibroblasts (3T3-L1 cells) accumulate detergent- and salt-insoluble aggregates of proteins conjugated to ubiquitin when incubated in the presence of inhibitors of lysosomal cysteine cathepsins, including E-64. These ubiquitin-protein conjugates co-fractionate with lysosomes on density gradients and are found in multivesicular dense bodies which by electron microscopy appear to be engaged in microautophagy. Both E-64 and ammonium chloride increase the intracellular concentration of free ubiquitin, but only E-64 leads to the formation of insoluble lysosomal ubiquitin-protein conjugates. The results are discussed in relation to the possible intracellular roles of ubiquitin conjugation. 相似文献

Cell-mediated immunity to Chlamydia trachomatis was studied in pregnant women with chlamydial infection of the cervix, in infants born vaginally to these women, and in infants presenting with chlamydial conjunctivitis. Uninfected pregnant women and their infants were studied as controls. McCoy cell cultures were used to isolate C. trachomatis from clinical specimens. Cell-mediated immunity was measured by lymphocyte proliferative responses in vitro to stimulation by chlamydial antigens. Chlamydial IgG antibody in serum specimens was detected by a microenzyme-linked immunosorbent assay technique. The mean lymphocyte proliferative responses to chlamydial antigens were greater in infected women than in uninfected women both during pregnancy and in the postpartum period. Lymphocyte responsiveness in infected pregnant women, however, was less than in postpartum women. Despite failure to detect chlamydial infection in exposed infants, lymphocyte proliferative responses were greater in umbilical cord blood and later in peripheral blood samples from neonates born to infected mothers than in infants born to uninfected mothers. These responses were also greater in infants with chlamydial conjunctivitis than in infants of uninfected mothers. These data suggest that cellular immune responses to chlamydial antigens are increased in infected mothers and infants and that infants may acquire chlamydial cell-mediated immunity transplacentally. 相似文献

Introduction
Studies evaluating the cost-effectiveness of screening for Hepatitis B Virus (HBV) and Hepatitis C Virus (HCV) are generally heterogeneous in terms of risk groups, settings, screening intervention, outcomes and the economic modelling framework. It is therefore difficult to compare cost-effectiveness results between studies. This systematic review aims to summarise and critically assess existing economic models for HBV and HCV in order to identify the main methodological differences in modelling approaches.Methods
A structured search strategy was developed and a systematic review carried out. A critical assessment of the decision-analytic models was carried out according to the guidelines and framework developed for assessment of decision-analytic models in Health Technology Assessment of health care interventions.Results
The overall approach to analysing the cost-effectiveness of screening strategies was found to be broadly consistent for HBV and HCV. However, modelling parameters and related structure differed between models, producing different results. More recent publications performed better against a performance matrix, evaluating model components and methodology.Conclusion
When assessing screening strategies for HBV and HCV infection, the focus should be on more recent studies, which applied the latest treatment regimes, test methods and had better and more complete data on which to base their models. In addition to parameter selection and associated assumptions, careful consideration of dynamic versus static modelling is recommended. Future research may want to focus on these methodological issues. In addition, the ability to evaluate screening strategies for multiple infectious diseases, (HCV and HIV at the same time) might prove important for decision makers. 相似文献7.

Plants must constantly respond to changes in the environment whilst maintaining developmental and growth processes if they are to survive into the next generation. A complex network of signals from temperature and light must correctly converge to achieve successful development, through vegetative to reproductive growth. Temperature can be thought of as an environmental factor that provides both 'inductive' and 'maintenance' signals in development. It can stimulate developmental processes such as seed dormancy release, germination and vernalization. However, when temperature is not regarded as inductive, an accommodating network of genes work in concert to ensure growth responses occur regardless of fluctuating microclimate conditions. Many of the temperature-regulated developmental pathways are intimately linked with light signaling. For example, light-temperature interactions are major determinants in the timing of reproductive development. Indeed, the ability to process and react to complex environmental cues is crucial for both normal and adaptive development in a changing environment. These responses are frequently mediated by manipulating the phytohormone network, which serves as a powerful, yet adaptable controller of development. This paper illustrates the influential role temperature perception plays throughout plant development and the close interaction between temperature, light and hormone signaling. 相似文献

Many parallel losses of infA from chloroplast DNA during angiosperm evolution with multiple independent transfers to the nucleus 总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1 下载免费PDF全文

We used DNA sequencing and gel blot surveys to assess the integrity of the chloroplast gene infA, which codes for translation initiation factor 1, in >300 diverse angiosperms. Whereas most angiosperms appear to contain an intact chloroplast infA gene, the gene has repeatedly become defunct in approximately 24 separate lineages of angiosperms, including almost all rosid species. In four species in which chloroplast infA is defunct, transferred and expressed copies of the gene were found in the nucleus, complete with putative chloroplast transit peptide sequences. The transit peptide sequences of the nuclear infA genes from soybean and Arabidopsis were shown to be functional by their ability to target green fluorescent protein to chloroplasts in vivo. Phylogenetic analysis of infA sequences and assessment of transit peptide homology indicate that the four nuclear infA genes are probably derived from four independent gene transfers from chloroplast to nuclear DNA during angiosperm evolution. Considering this and the many separate losses of infA from chloroplast DNA, the gene has probably been transferred many more times, making infA by far the most mobile chloroplast gene known in plants. 相似文献
