Modulation of connective tissue metabolism by partially purified human interleukin 1 总被引:4,自引:0,他引:4
We have investigated the relationship between the monokine interleukin 1 (IL-1) and the connective tissue-stimulating activities produced by monocytes such as mononuclear cell factor (MCF). Using almost exclusively human tissue we have monitored a wide range of MCF-like activities through the partial purification of IL-1 by gel filtration and isoelectric focusing. Activities measured include stimulation of chondrocytes to produce prostaglandins, plasminogen activator and proteoglycanase, enhancement of synovial cell proliferation, and stimulation of cartilage resorption, in addition to IL-1 (lymphocyte activating factor) activity. The activities described show the same molecular heterogeneity; the active material has similar potencies in the different systems, and removal of IL-1 activity by pretreatment with phenylglyoxal also results in loss of the connective tissue-stimulating activities. These results show that the factors responsible for this wide range of activities are very closely related to IL-1 and give further evidence in support of the possible involvement of IL-1 in the processes of joint destruction occurring in chronic inflammatory conditions such as rheumatoid arthritis. 相似文献

We present the first two identified cases of phosphoserine aminotransferase deficiency. This disorder of serine biosynthesis has been identified in two siblings who showed low concentrations of serine and glycine in plasma and cerebrospinal fluid. Clinically, the index patient presented with intractable seizures, acquired microcephaly, hypertonia, and psychomotor retardation and died at age 7 mo despite supplementation with serine (500 mg/kg/d) and glycine (200 mg/kg/d) from age 11 wk. The younger sibling received treatment from birth, which led to a normal outcome at age 3 years. Measurement of phosphoserine aminotransferase activity in cultured fibroblasts in the index patient was inconclusive, but mutational analysis revealed compound heterozygosity for two mutations in the PSAT1 gene--one frameshift mutation (c.delG107) and one missense mutation (c.299A-->C [p.Asp100Ala])--in both siblings. Expression studies of the p.Asp100Ala mutant protein revealed a V(max) of only 15% of that of the wild-type protein. 相似文献

Amoebae of the cellular slime mouldDictyostelium discoideum at 8 h or l0 h development were separated into two populations by countercurrent distribution in a dextran-poly(ethylene glycol), two-phase system. Two-dimensional, polyacrylamide-gel electrophoresis was then used to separate the polypeptides from the populations of amoebae. The two populations of amoebae at 8 h development differed sn polypeptide composition as did the populations separated at 10 h development. This confirms that cell differentiation is initated inD. discoideum prior to g h development. 相似文献

Alternative splicing of the human PTEN/MMAC1/TEP1 gene 总被引:2,自引:0,他引:2
The human tumour suppressor gene PTEN/MMAC1/TEP1 encodes a lipid and protein phosphatase. Using RT-PCR, alternatively spliced forms of PTEN mRNA, encoding full-length PTEN and two forms of the protein truncated at the C-terminal end, were detected in normal human tissue. Cultured tumour and non-tumour cell lines show similar splicing patterns. 相似文献

Human synovial explants in culture release material that stimulates the production of prostaglandin E2 (PGE2) and several extracellular enzymes by human chondrocytes. Fractionation of conditioned medium by gel filtration revealed a protein of approx. 15 kDa, which in addition to stimulating production of PGE2 and plasminogen activator by human articular chondrocytes, possessed interleukin 1 activity and induced cartilage degradation. Further purification using iso-electric focussing again showed co-elution of these activities with a major pI of 6.9 and a minor pI of 5.1-5.3. This study indicated that human synovium releases a factor that is closely related to or identical with interleukin 1 and suggests that this protein may participate in cellular interactions that occur within the rheumatoid joint. 相似文献
