摘要:
Chlamydia psittaci is an obligate intracellular pathogen with a biphasic developmental life cycle. It is auxotrophic for a variety of essential metabolites and obtains amino acids from eukaryotic host cells. Chlamydia can develop inside host cells within chlamydial inclusions. A pathway secreting proteins from inclusions into the host cellular cytoplasm is the type III secretion system (T3SS). The T3SS is universal among several Gram-negative bacteria. Here, we show that CPSIT_0959 of C. psittaci is expressed midcycle and secreted into the infected cellular cytoplasm via the T3SS. Recombinant CPSIT_0959 possesses cysteine desulfurase and PLP-binding activity, which removes sulfur from cysteine to produce alanine, and helps chlamydial replication. Our study shows that CPSIT_0959 improve the infectivity of offspring elementary bodies and seems to promote the replication by its product. This phenomenon has inhibited by the PLP-dependent enzymes inhibitor. Moreover, CPSIT_0959 increased expression of Bim and tBid, and decreased the mitochondrial membrane potential of host mitochondria to induce apoptosis in the latecycle for release of offspring. These results demonstrate that CPSIT_0959 has cysteine desulfurase and PLP-binding activity and is likely to contribute to apoptosis of the infected cells via a mitochondria-mediated pathway to improve the infectivity of progeny.

摘要:
Inflammation-induced lymphangiogenesis is a widely accepted concept. However, most of the inflammatory factors and their related mechanisms have not been clarified. It has been reported that sphingosine-1-phosphate (S1P) is not only closely related to the chronic inflammatory process but also affects angiogenesis. Therefore, we investigated the inflammatory effects of S1P on human lymphatic endothelial cells (HLECs). Our results showed that S1P promotes tumor necrosis factor-α (TNF-α) and interleukin-1β (IL-1β) secretion in HLECs. We also confirmed that S1P-stimulated TNF-α and IL-1β secretion is mediated through S1P receptor 1 (S1PR1). Using TNF-α siRNA and IL-1β siRNA, we found that TNF-α and IL-1β play essential roles in S1P-induced HLEC proliferation, migration, and tube formation. S1P induces phosphorylation of NF-κB p65 and activation of NF-κB nuclear translocation. A S1PR1 antagonist (W146) and NF-κB inhibitor (BAY11-7082) inhibited S1P-induced TNF-α and IL-1β secretion and prevented NF-κB nuclear translocation. Taken together, the results demonstrated for the first time that S1P promotes the secretion of TNF-α and IL-1β in HLECs via S1PR1-mediated NF-κB signaling pathways, thus affecting lymphangiogenesis. The study provides a new strategy for finding treatments for lymphangiogenesis-related diseases. © 2018 Elsevier B.V.

摘要:
The traditional Chinese herb Wu-Chu-Yu has been used to treat hypertension for hundreds of years. A previous study indicated that rutaecarpine was the effective component of Wu-Chu-Yu, which lowered blood pressure by elevating the expression level of calcitonin gene-related peptide (CGRP). The present-study was performed to investigate the role of transient receptor potential cation channel subfamily V member 1 (TRPV1) in CGRP expression and release induced by rutaecarpine. Dorsal root ganglia (DRG) obtained from Sprague-Dawley rats were cultured to analyze the mRNA expression and release of CGRP. Calcium influx, as an indicator of TRPV1 activation, was measured in 293 cells with stable overexpression of TRPV1. The results demonstrated that the amount of CGRP in the cell culture supernatant and the mRNA expression of CGRPα and CGRPβ in DRG was upregulated by rutaecarpine in a concentration-dependent manner, and was inhibited by the TRPV1 receptor antagonist capsazepine. In addition, intracellular Ca 2+ levels were increased by Rut in the aforementioned 293 cell line, indicating the activation of TRPV1 by Rut. Therefore, it was concluded that TRPV1 was involved in the expression and release of CGRP stimulated by rutaecarpine, which provided novel mechanistic understanding of the treatment of hypertension using the Chinese herb Wu-Chu-Yu. © 2018 Kashyap.

*Endothelial activation;*Inhibitors of MALT1;*MCPIP1, vascular inflammation;*VCAM-1
摘要:
Mucosa associated lymphoid tissue lymphoma translocation protein 1 (MALT1) is not only an intracellular signaling scaffold protein but also a paracaspase that plays a key role in the signal transduction and cellular activation of lymphocytes and macrophages. However, its role in endothelial cells remains unknown. Here we report that pharmacological inhibition of MALT1 protease activity strongly suppresses endothelial activation via enhancing MCPIP1 expression. Treatment with MALT1 protease inhibitors selectively inhibited TNFα-induced VCAM-1 expression in HUVECs and LPS-induced VCAM-1 expression in mice. In addition, Inhibition of MALT1 protease activity also significantly inhibited TNFα-induced adhesion of THP-1 monocytic cells to HUVECs. To explore the mechanisms, MALT1 inhibitors does not affect the activation of NF-κB signaling pathway in HUVEC. However, they can stabilize MCPIP1 protein and significantly enhance MCPIP1 protein level in endothelial cells. These results suggest that MALT1 paracaspase also targets MCPIP1 and degrade MCPIP1 protein in endothelial cells similar as it does in immune cells. Taken together, the study suggest inhibition of MALT1 protease activity may represent a new strategy for prevention/therapy of vascular inflammatory diseases such as atherosclerosis.

摘要:
The present study evaluated the immune-protective efficacy of the Chlamydia psittaci (C. psittaci) plasmid protein CPSIT_p7 and analyzed the potential mechanisms of this protection. The current study used recombinant CPSIT_p7 protein with Freund’s complete adjuvant and Freund’s incomplete adjuvant to vaccinate BALB/c mice. Adjuvants alone or PBS formulated with the same adjuvants was used as negative controls. Mice were intranasally challenged with 105 inclusion-forming units (IFU) of C. psittaci. We found that CPSIT_p7 vaccination significantly decreased the mouse lung chlamydial load, interferon-γ (IFN-γ) level, and pathological injury. This protection correlated well with specific humoral and cellular immune responses against C. psittaci. In vitro or in vivo neutralization of C. psittaci with sera harvested from immunized mice did not reduce the number of recoverable C. psittaci in the infected lungs, but CD4+ spleen cells collected from CPSIT_p7-immunized mice significantly decreased the chlamydial load via adoptive transfer to native mice. These results reveal that the protection conferred by CPSIT_p7 is dependent on CD4+ T cells. © 2018, Springer Science+Business Media, LLC, part of Springer Nature.

摘要:
Plasmid DNA encoding flagellin FlaB3 was used as a vaccination candidate for the evaluation of immunogenicity and protection against Treponema pallidum subsp. pallidum dissemination. First, intramuscular injection of the flagellin encoded by the plasmid DNA into New Zealand rabbits elicited both humoral and cellular immune responses. Total IgG production increased in response to flagellin. In addition, serum IFN-γ secretion and CD8+ cells were substantially greater in the rabbits immunized with the plasmid encoding flagellin FlaB3 than those in the rabbits immunized with recombinant flagellin. The flagellin encoded by the plasmid DNA induced significant upregulation of serum IL-6 and IL-8 compared to that of the control rabbits. Subsequently, intradermal challenge of the vaccinated New Zealand rabbits with 1 × 10 7 T. pallidum resulted in a significant reduction of the bacterial organ burden in the blood, liver, spleen, and testicles in the flagellin plasmid DNA-vaccinated rabbits. Furthermore, the histopathological analysis demonstrated that the rabbits immunized with the plasmid DNA-encoded flagellin (FlaB3) showed better immune protection. These findings provide evidence that plasmid DNA-encoded flagellin (FlaB3) may be useful as a potential immunization route for future development of a vaccine to inhibit T. pallidum dissemination in related animals. © 2018, The Author(s).

摘要:
The present study aimed to investigate the effect of the long noncoding RNA cancer susceptibility candidate 9 (CASC9) on doxorubicin (DOX)-resistant breast cancer and to reveal the potential underlying mechanisms. The expression of CASC9 in breast cancer tissues and cell lines, in addition to drug-resistant breast cancer cells (MCF-7/DOX), was detected by reverse transcription-quantitative polymerase chain reaction. Subsequently, MCF-7/DOX cells were transfected with the silencing vector pS-C ASC9, containing enhancer of zeste homolog 2(EZH2), multidrug resistance protein 1 (MDR1) or control small interfering (si)RNAs. The viability, apoptosis, migration and invasion of the transfected cells were assessed via an MTT assay, flow cytometry and a Transwell assay, respectively. The expression levels of apoptosis-associated proteins (apoptosis regulator Bcl-2, apoptosis regulator BAX, caspase-3 and caspase-9) were determined by western blotting. An RNA pull-down assay was performed to identify CASC9-binding candidates. In addition, the expression levels of the MDR1 gene and its encoded protein, P-glycoprotein, were detected. CASC9 expression was upregulated in breast cancer tissues and cell lines, and drug-resistant breast cancer cells. CASC9 knockdown significantly inhibited the growth and metastasis of drug-resistant breast cancer cells, and decreased the half-maximal inhibitory concentration DOX in MCF-7/DOX cells. The RNA pull-down assay revealed that CASC9 engaged EZH2; EZH2 siRNA significantly inhibited the cell growth, metastasis and chemoresistance of MCF-7/DOX cells. Additionally, EZH2 may regulate the MDR1 gene. The present study demonstrated the oncogenic role of CASC9 in drug-resistant breast cancer by binding to EZH2 and regulating the MDR1 gene. Modulation of CASC9 expression may be a promising target in the therapy of breast cancer and drug-resistant breast cancer. © 2018 Spandidos Publications. All rights reserved.

摘要:
Background: Human Interleukin 37 (IL37), a unique anti-inflammatory cytokine of IL1 family member, plays critical roles in innate and adaptive immunity and inflammation. Objective: Preparation of high purity and tag-removed recombinant IL37 protein (rIL37) is critical for its clinical application. Method: In this study, we constructed an N-terminal cleavable GST-fused IL37 expression vector for recombinant expression. Results: Subsequent to transformation and optimization of the induction temperature, the soluble expression level of rIL37 was 306.5 mg/L of culture medium at 18 °C induction in Escherichia coli. Meanwhile, rIL37 was digested on beads by GST-HRV3C protease during GST affinity chromatography. After further purification, the purity of rIL37 was higher than 99 %. Finally, the anti-inflammatory activity of tag-removed protein was verified by the results showing that rIL37 suppressed IL1β production in PBMCs. Conclusion: This work presents a protocol to produce high purity and tag-removed rIL37 with anti-inflammatory activity, which provides the firm basis for advancing clinical application in human IL37-related inflammatory diseases. © 2018 Bentham Science Publishers.

摘要:
Estrogen drives the development and progression of estrogen receptor (ER)-positive breast cancer. However, the detailed mechanism underlying ER-driven carcinogenesis remains unclear despite extensive studies. Previously reports indicated higher expression of long non-coding RNA (lncRNA) myocardial infarction associated transcript (MIAT) in ER-positive breast cancer tissues than in ER-negative tissues. However, the functional relevance of MIAT in ER-positive breast cancer tumorigenesis was poorly understood. Here, we investigated the role of lncRNA MIAT in ER-positive breast cancer cells. MIAT was over-expressed in ER-positive breast cancer tissues and ER-positive breast cancer cell line MCF-7. Activating estrogen signaling by diethylstilbestrol (DES) led to a dose- and time-dependent up-regulation of MIAT in MCF-7 cells that was dependent on ERα as evidenced by ERα silencing and pharmacological inhibition using ER antagonist ICI 182780. Silencing MIAT decreased DES-induced MCF-7 cell proliferation while overexpressing MIAT increased MCF-7 cell proliferation. Further mechanistic study identified that MIAT was critical for G1 to S phase cell cycle transition. Taken together, these results suggest that lncRNA MIAT is an estrogen-inducible lncRNA and a key regulator in ER-positive breast cancer cell growth. MIAT could serve as a potential biomarker and promising therapeutic target for ER-positive breast cancer. © 2018

摘要:
Nucleolin is a multifunctional protein and participates in many important biological processes. Our previous study found that nucleolin protects the heart against myocardial ischemia–reperfusion injury. In this study, we aimed to investigate the role of nucleolin in doxorubicin (DOX)‐induced cardiotoxicity. The expression pattern of nucleolin in hearts subjected to DOX injury was investigated, and we found that administration of DOX induced nucleolin expression significantly in vivo and in vitro. Gene transfection and RNA interference approaches were used in cardiomyocytes to investigate the function of nucleolin. Nucleolin overexpression protects cardiomyocytes against DOX‐induced injury. Nucleolin‐ablated cardiomyocytes become susceptible to the injury induced by DOX. The hearts of cardiac‐myocyte‐specific nucleolin transgenic mice are more resistant to DOX injury. Furthermore, nucleolin upregulates microRNA(miRNA)‐21 expression in vivo and in vitro, and the miRNA‐21 inhibitor negates the protective effect of nucleolin against injury induced by DOX. These results have demonstrated that nucleolin is involved in the regulation of DOX‐induced cardiac injury and dysfunction via the regulation of miRNA‐21 expression, and may be a novel therapeutic target for DOX‐induced cardiotoxicity. Nucleolin is elevated in myocardium in DOX‐treated mice, and nucleolin overexpression protects against DOX‐induced cardiotoxicity. Cardiomyocyte‐specific nucleolin transgenic mice are resistant to DOX‐induced injury. MicroRNA‐21 mediated nucleolin protective effect.

摘要:
It has been found that Helicobacter pylori (H. pylori)is not only the main cause of gastric cancer, but also closely related to its metastasis. E-cadherin cleavage induced by matrix metalloproteinases (MMPs) plays an important role in the tumor metastasis. In the present study, we investigated the role of microRNAs-MMPs-E-cadherin in migration and invasion of gastric cancer cells treated with H. pylori. The results showed that H. pylori induced migration and invasion of SGC-7901 cells with a down-regulation of E-cadherin expression, which were abolished by MMPs knock down, E-cadherin overexpression, mimics of miR128 and miR148a. MiR128/miR148a inhibitors restored MMP-3/MMP-7 expression, down-regulated E-cadherin level, and accelerated cellular migration and invasion. This study suggests that H. pylori induces migration and invasion of gastric cancer cells through reduction of E-cadherin function by activation of MMP-3, − 7. The present results also suggest that the activated MMPs/E-cadherin pathway is related with down-regulation of miR128/miR148a in the human gastric cancer cells infected with H. pylori. © 2018

摘要:
Dengue virus (DENV) and Japanese encephalitis virus (JEV) are two important pathogenic viruses that can cause severe encephalitis, which is accompanied by inflammatory cytokines. However, the inflammatory cytokine content of cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) in DENV and JEV infection of central nervous system are not sufficiently studied. To investigate cytokine levels in serum and CSF of hospitalised children with DENV and JEV infection of the central nervous system, a total of 183 hospitalised children with viral encephalitis-like syndrome were enrolled between May 2014 and April 2015 at the Children’s Hospital of Chenzhou, Hunan, China. DENV and JEV infection was diagnosed by ELISA. Cytokine levels in the serum and CSF were measured by commercial ELISA kits. Twenty-nine (15.85%) and 26 (14.21%) DENV and JEV infections were detected in 183 patients with viral encephalitis-like syndrome, respectively. Higher granulocyte-macrophage colony-stimulating factor (GM-CSF) levels were detected in the serum of JEV infected patients than in DNEV patients (p < 0.05) or in healthy controls (p < 0.001), and levels of GM-CSF, interleukin 6 (IL-6) and monocyte chemoattractant protein-1 (MCP-1) were higher in the CSF than serum in both DENV and JEV infection. Both DENV and JEV infection induced similar cytokine accumulation profiles in the CSF, which probably contributed to DENV- and JEV-induced immunopathogenesis. © 2017, Termedia Publishing House Ltd.
