AIM: Immunological tools used to detect staphylococcal enterotoxins (SEs) in foods are numerous. The aim of this study was to evaluate, on naturally contaminated milk product samples, the performance of the Vidas SET2, in comparison to the Transia plate SET. METHODS AND RESULTS: The Vidas SET2 was compared with the Transia plate SET on supernatants of Staphylococcus aureus isolates and on naturally contaminated milk products. It is noteworthy that when using IgG rabbit treatment, both kits can be considered as equivalent to detect enterotoxins in naturally contaminated milk products. CONCLUSIONS: This study demonstrated that the Vidas SET2 performance is similar to that of Transia plate SET kit, when a rabbit IgG treatment step is used before detection step. This additional treatment significantly decreased, from 42% to 8%, the rate of positive deviations observed using the Transia plate SET detection kit. SIGNIFICANCE AND IMPACT OF THE STUDY: The Vidas SET2 was clearly found as more specific, when no preliminary rabbit IgG treatment was used, and which results in a better workflow when a large number of samples have to be analysed within a few days. Considering the results obtained, the Vidas SET2 detection kit can be used to assess the safety of milk products for SEs. 相似文献

We have established that focal adhesion kinase (FAK)-transfected HL-60 (HL-60/FAK) cells were highly resistant to hydrogen peroxide and etoposide-induced apoptosis compared to vector-transfected cells. Mutagenesis study revealed that Y397 is required for anti-apoptotic activity in HL-60/FAK, since Y397F-mutated FAK (397FAK) lost anti-apoptotic function. Assuming that 397FAK functions as a dominant negative FAK, we introduced 397FAK cDNA into a human glioma cell line, T98G, using an adenoviral vector. We found that 397FAK induced marked apoptosis with significant FAK degradation. As PI3-kinase-Akt survival pathway was constitutively activated in T98G cells, we hypothesized that this pathway was shut off by 397FAK gene transfection. As expected, activation of PI3-kinase-Akt survival pathway was decreased by the 397FAK gene transfection. 397FAK activated mainly caspase-6 which induced degradation of transfected FAK as well as endogenous FAK. These results indicated that 397FAK induces apoptosis in T98G cells, by interrupting signals of FAK leading to the survival pathway in T98G glioma cells. 相似文献

Gap junction channels provide the basis for the electrical syncytial properties of the heart as a communicating electrical network. Cardiac gap junction channels are predominantly composed of connexin 40 or connexin 43. The conductance of these channels (g(j)) can be regulated pharmacologically: substances which activate protein kinase C, protein kinase A or protein kinase G may alter Cx43 gap junction conductance. However, for PKC, this seems to be subtype specific. Thus, antiarrhythmic peptides can enhance g(j) via activation of PKCepsilon, while FGF-2 reduces g(j) via PKCepsilon. Lipophilic drugs can uncouple the channels. Besides an acute regulation of g(j), the expression of the cardiac connexins can also be regulated. A decrease in Cx43 with a concomitant increase in Cx40 has been found in end-stage failing hearts, while in renovascular hypertension, an increase in Cx43 has been described. Mediators like endothelin-1, angiotensin-II, TGF-beta, VEGF, and cAMP have been shown to increase Cx43. Interestingly, endothelin-1 and angiotensin-II increased Cx43 but did not affect Cx40 expression. In contrast, in humans suffering from atrial fibrillation (AF), the content in Cx40 can be enhanced while Cx43 was unaltered, although in several other studies, other changes of the cardiac connexins were found, which might be related to the type of AF. Regarding the role of calcium, the content in both Cx40 and Cx43 was decreased in cultured neonatal rat cardiomyocytes after 24 h administration of 100 nM verapamil. Thus, gap junctional channels can be affected pharmacologically either acutely by modulating gap junction conductance or chronically by altering gap junction protein expression. Interestingly, it appears that the expression of Cx43 and Cx40 can be differentially regulated. 相似文献

Intercellular Ca(2+) wave propagation between vascular smooth muscle cells (SMCs) is associated with the propagation of contraction along the vessel. Here, we characterize the involvement of gap junctions (GJs) in Ca(2+) wave propagation between SMCs at the cellular level. Gap junctional communication was assessed by the propagation of intercellular Ca(2+) waves and the transfer of Lucifer Yellow in A7r5 cells, primary rat mesenteric SMCs (pSMCs), and 6B5N cells, a clone of A7r5 cells expressing higher connexin43 (Cx43) to Cx40 ratio. Mechanical stimulation induced an intracellular Ca(2+) wave in pSMC and 6B5N cells that propagated to neighboring cells, whereas Ca(2+) waves in A7r5 cells failed to progress to neighboring cells. We demonstrate that Cx43 forms the functional GJs that are involved in mediating intercellular Ca(2+) waves and that co-expression of Cx40 with Cx43, depending on their expression ratio, may interfere with Cx43 GJ formation, thus altering junctional communication. 相似文献

Social recognition, processing, and retaining information about conspecific individuals is crucial for the development of normal social relationships. The neuropeptide oxytocin (OT) is necessary for social recognition in male and female mice, with its effects being modulated by estrogens in females. In previous studies, mice whose genes for the estrogen receptor-alpha (alpha-ERKO) and estrogen receptor-beta (beta-ERKO) as well as OTKO were knocked out failed to habituate to a repeatedly presented conspecific and to dishabituate when the familiar mouse is replaced by a novel animal (Choleris et al. 2003, Proc Natl Acad Sci USA 100, 6192-6197). However, a binary social discrimination assay, where animals are given a simultaneous choice between a familiar and a previously unknown individual, offers a more direct test of social recognition. Here, we used alpha-ERKO, beta-ERKO, and OTKO female mice in the binary social discrimination paradigm. Differently from their wild-type controls, when given a choice, the KO mice showed either reduced (beta-ERKO) or completely impaired (OTKO and alpha-ERKO) social discrimination. Detailed behavioral analyses indicate that all of the KO mice have reduced anxiety-related stretched approaches to the social stimulus with no overall impairment in horizontal and vertical activity, non-social investigation, and various other behaviors such as, self-grooming, digging, and inactivity. Therefore, the OT, ER-alpha, and ER-beta genes are necessary, to different degrees, for social discrimination and, thus, for the modulation of social behavior (e.g. aggression, affiliation). 相似文献
