mTOR及其底物在HeLa细胞的细胞周期不同时相中的表达

为探讨细胞生长的机制 ,用RT PCR、Western印迹及蛋白激酶活性测定等方法对同步化的HeLa细胞的细胞周期不同时相中mTOR(mammaliantargetofrapamycin) ,p70S6激酶 (p70S6K)的α1 、α2 、β1 、β2 不同亚型及起始因子 4E结合蛋白 1 (4EBP1 )的表达进行了检测 .RT PCR的结果表明 :在G1 、S1 、G2 、M1 、M2 几个细胞周期时相中 ,mTOR的mRNA表达无明显变化 .mTOR的底物P70S6K的亚型α1 、α2 、β1 、β2 在M期表达均有明显增加 .4EBP1的表达在M期明显减少 .免疫印迹的结果与RT PCR的一致 ,即M期p70S6K的α1 、α2 、均有增加 ,4EBP1在M期减少 .活性测定表明 ,G2 期、M期mTOR较其它期有明显增加 ,4EBP1在M期活性有所下降 .研究结果表明 :mTOR、p70S6K、4EBP1很可能在HeLa细胞的生长中起重要的调节作用     

Three Groups of Teratocarcinoma Antigens Co-Expressed in the Visceral Endoderm are Located in Mutually Exclusive Sites in the Adult Kidney

Monoclonal rat antibodies were prepared against glycoproteins isolated from murine teratocarcinoma OTT6050 by affinity chromatography on Ricinus communis agglutinin (RCA). These antibodies defined three distinct groups of antigens (OR antigens) commonly expressed in teratocarcinoma cells and in restricted sites of the kidney. OR 17 antigen was a new glycoprotein antigen and the biochemical properties were different from any membrane glycoprotiens or matrix glycoproteins so far described in teratocarcinoma cells. In the kidney, the antigen was found in the glomerular basement membrane, and to lesser extent in the endothelium of the glomerulus and blood vessels. On the other hand, OR 8 antigen corresponded to "brushin" defined by conventional antibodies, while OR 4 and 19 antigens were carbohydrate antigens resembling "TC antigen". OR 8 antigen was detected in the tubular brush border and the epithelium of Bowman's capsule. OR 4 antigen was present in the collecting tubules and the thin loop of Henle. Although OR 19 antigen showed distribution similar to OR 4 antigen, there were genetic differences in the expression of the former antigen. All of the antigens were present in early postimplantation embryos of the mouse, notably in the visceral endoderm. These antigens are interesting subjects to study the mechanism of differentiation-dependent control of gene expression, since antigenic distribution is specialized as the result of differentiation.
