Lung cancer is one of the leading causes of death from cancer. Both immune cells and tumor cells play a key role in lung cancer
immunity by secretion of cytokines and developing type-2 cell-mediated immune response. IL-13 is an immunoregulatory cytokine
affecting tumor immunosurveillance by deviation of immune response from Th1 to Th2. In the present study we sought to determine
the association of single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) of IL-13 gene at positions +2044 (G/A) and −1055 (C/T) and lung cancer. One hundred forty one patients and 113 controls were recruited;
control group was subdivided into smoker and nonsmoker individuals for serum detection. Genotyping was carried out by PCR-RFLP
assay and IL-13 detection by ELISA method. No statistically significant difference was found in the frequency of genotypes,
alleles, and haplotypes at positions +2044 (G/A) and −1055 (C/T) of IL-13 gene between lung cancer patients and controls. Serum level of IL-13 was not detectable in both groups. The results of this
study reveal that although +2044 (G/A) and −1055 (C/T) SNPs in IL-13 are implicated in some pulmonary processes, they do not confer susceptibility to lung cancer in Iranian population. 相似文献

Interleukin-13 (IL-13) is a TH2 cytokine with direct and indirect immunoregulatory functions on cancer cells. The cytokine
has been reported to have some polymorphic variations at the gene level associated with some immune related diseases including
asthma and allergy. In the present study, association of three IL13 gene polymorphisms at positions −1512 A/C and −1055 C/T in the promoter and +2044 G/A in exon-4 was investigated in Iranian
women with breast cancer and healthy controls. Genotyping of IL13 gene polymorphisms were performed by PCR–RFLP methods. Serum level of IL-13 was assessed by ELISA. Haplotypes were constructed
from genotypic data using Arlequin 3.1 software package. Haplotype analysis revealed higher frequency of a three-locus haplotype,
ACA (−1512A/−1055C/+2044A), in normal women than breast cancer patients (P < 0.025). Haplotype CCA, from the other hand, was observed with more frequency among patients than controls (P < 0.03). No statistically significant differences were found in the frequency of genotypes and alleles between patients and
control group. No association was observed between investigated genotypes and other prognostic factors including tumor type,
lymph node involvement and tumor size. IL-13 serum level was undetectable in both patients and control subjects. Despite observing
no association between breast cancer and the single SNPs, results of this investigation suggest that the presence of CCA haplotype
of IL13 gene may be associated with susceptibility of Iranian women to breast cancer. 相似文献

Developing novel methanol-feeding strategies for the improved production of heterologous proteins in high cell-density fed-batch
cultures of Pichia pastoris has been of great interest during recent years. In this study, a recombinant P. pastoris strain (GS115/His+ Mut+) producing β-galactosidase (β-Gal) was used to investigate conventional feeding strategies and to develop a new strategy
to increase the recombinant protein production during fedbatch cultures on methanol. Three types of conventional methanol-feeding
strategies, including μ-stat, dissolved oxygen-stat (DO-stat) and constant methanol concentration were investigated and compared
with respect to alcohol oxidase (AOX), formate dehydrogenase (FDH) and β-gal activities, and cell dry weight (CDW), methanol,
and formaldehyde concentration variations during the production phase. Methanol feeding with μ-stat 0.025/h exhibited the
highest β-gal activity. Supplementing ammonium and magnesium in μ-stat 0.025/h did not affect the cell growth or methanol
or formaldehyde concentrations throughout the fermentation but did improved the maximum β-gal activity from 148.2 to 158.1
kU/mL. A new three-step methanol-feeding strategy was developed based on the results obtained from conventional feeding strategies,
which started with μ-stat 0.025/h for 5 h, then μ-stat 0.030/h, and finally, was switched to DO-stat when maintaining the
DO above 20% air saturation became difficult. Implementation of this new feeding strategy resulted in a CDW of 107.2 ± 0.7
g/L, AOX specific activity of 0.1890 ± 0.0030 U/mg CDW, and β-gal activity of 173.5 ± 2.1 kU/mL after 29 h of fermentation,
which shows a 5.6, 29.1, and 15.7% increase in CDW, AOX, and β-gal activity, respectively, compared to that of μ-stat at 0.025/h. 相似文献

Purinergic signaling may be involved in embryonic development of the heart. In the present study, the effects of purinergic receptor stimulation on cardiomyogenesis of mouse embryonic stem (ES) cells were investigated. ADP or ATP increased the number of cardiac clusters and cardiac cells, as well as beating frequency. Cardiac-specific genes showed enhanced expression of α-MHC, MLC2v, α-actinin, connexin 45 (Cx45), and HCN4, on both gene and protein levels upon ADP/ATP treatment, indicating increased cardiomyogenesis and pacemaker cell differentiation. Real-time RT-PCR analysis of purinergic receptor expression demonstrated presence of P2X1, P2X4, P2X6, P2X7, P2Y1, P2Y2, P2Y4, and P2Y6 on differentiating ES cells. ATP and ADP as well as the P2X agonists β,γ-methylenadenosine 5′-triphosphate (β,γ-MetATP) and 8-bromoadenosine 5′-triphosphate (8-Br-ATP) but not UTP or UDP transiently increased the intracellular calcium concentration ([Ca2+]i) as evaluated by the calcium indicator Fluo-4, whereas no changes in membrane potential were observed. [Ca2+]i transients induced by ADP/ATP were abolished by the phospholipase C-β (PLC-β) inhibitor U-73122, suggesting involvement of metabotropic P2Y receptors. Furthermore, partial inhibition of [Ca2+]i transients was achieved in presence of MRS2179, a selective P2Y1 receptor antagonist, whereas PPADS, a non-selective P2 receptor inhibitor, completely abolished the [Ca2+]i response. Consequently, cardiomyocyte differentiation was decreased upon long term co-incubation of cells with ADP and P2 receptor antagonists. In summary, activation of purinoceptors and the subsequent [Ca2+]i transients enhance the differentiation of ES cells toward cardiomyocytes. Purinergic receptor stimulation may be a promising strategy to drive the fate of pluripotent ES cells into a particular population of cardiomyocytes.

Recombinant expression and EGFR-binding activity assay of single chain nimotuzumab (nimotuzumab scFv) is reported in this study. The scFv was produced in VH-linker-VL format in Origami? 2(DE3)pLysS bacterial cells and purified using Ni-TNA resin column. 3-D structure prediction using I-TASSER (Iterative Threading Assembly Refinement) server and analyzing the predicted models using YASARA (Yet Another Scientific Artificial Reality Application) viewer revealed that VH and VL domains assemble into a correctly-folded single chain antibody that is able to bind EGFR. The scFv was evaluated in ELISA and western blot tests and proven to be able to bind EGFR-overexpressing cancer cells (A-431 cells in an efficient manner but unable to recognize cancer cells expressing low levels of EGFR (MCF-7 breast cancer cells). 相似文献
