IL-12 induces T lymphocytes apoptosis and influences the expression and signal transduction of Fas/FasL

AIM: IL-12 acts upon Tlymphocytes and activates its receptor complexes of β1/β2,and so IL-12 can regulate TH1/TH2 balance. Our study is aimed at IL-12-inducing apoptosis of Tcells and expression and signal transduction of Fas/FasLduring Tcell apoptosis. METHODS: The apoptosis of Tcells was detected by Annexin Vstaining cytometry and the expression of Fas/FasLunder different inhibitors were detected by semi-quantitative PCR. RESULTS: IL-12 induced the human leukemic Tcell line(TIB-152) and the human lymphoma Tcell line(HTB-176) and the normal human Tcells to undergo apoptosis. The FasLexpression at 6 hours after treatment with IL-12 increased apparently, and reached the max at 24 hours, and FasLexpression induced by IL-12 was inhibited by PKCinhibitor. But IL-12 did not influence Fas expression. CONCLUSIONS: IL-12 can induce Tcells to undergo apoptosis which is characterized by early membrane changes, the inducing effect is correlated with the concentration of IL-12 and the maturation of Tcells. FasLparticipates in the progression of Tcell apoptosis as a apoptosis mediator, and the effect of IL-12 on FasLexpression may be related with PKCpathway.     

Annexin A2基因敲除MDCK细胞系的构建

应用Crispr/Cas9基因编辑技术敲除MDCK细胞中的Annexin A2基因,并验证其是否为ε毒素在MDCK细胞表面的受体。根据Crispr/Cas9靶点设计原则设计靶点,构建PALentiCRISPR v2重组质粒。借助Crispr/Cas9技术,将构建好的质粒转染至MDCK细胞中,用嘌呤霉素筛选敲除Annexin A2蛋白的MDCK细胞株,并通过测序和Western blot验证敲除效果。通过细胞毒性试验验证MDCK细胞膜表面的Annexin A2蛋白是否为ε毒素的受体蛋白。测序结果和Western blot结果表明,通过Crispr/Cas9技术成功敲除了MDCK细胞的Annexin A2基因,但细胞毒性试验结果表明,敲除Annexin A2基因并不能减弱ε毒素对MDCK细胞的毒性。结果表明,Annexin A2蛋白不是ε毒素在MDCK细胞表面的受体,研究结果为今后MDCK细胞其他蛋白的敲除提供了试验方法,构建的Annexin A2基因敲除的MDCK细胞也为Annexin A2蛋白引起的其他疾病的研究奠定了基础。     

甘蓝型油菜AnnBn1基因的克隆和表达分析

利用电子克隆和RT-PCR技术从甘蓝型油菜抗旱品系Q2中克隆了膜联蛋白(annexin)基因,命名为AnnBn1（GenBank登录号HM244482）,并对其进行了表达分析。AnnBn1的开放阅读框长度为954bp,编码317个氨基酸。序列分析显示,推测AnnBn1基因编码的氨基酸序列含有4个重复的结构域及钙离子结合位点,与拟南芥、番茄、棉花和玉米等物种的膜联蛋白具有较高的同源性。荧光定量PCR结果发现AnnBn1基因在Q2的根、茎、叶、芽等组织中均有表达,而且表达量基本相同。对3叶期幼苗进行10%PEG（聚乙二醇）溶液模拟干旱时发现,干旱胁迫后30h内,AnnBn1基因在茎、芽中的表达量升高了2～4倍,而在叶、根中显著升高了10倍以上。AnnBn1基因表达峰值也具有时空特点,干旱胁迫后20h茎和芽中表达量高,而在30h之后叶和根中表达量高。

膜联蛋白A8在小鼠早期妊娠子宫中表达研究

膜联蛋白A8(Annexin A8,ANXA8)是一种磷脂结合蛋白,与炎症反应、癌症的发生以及血管生成有密切联系。本实验旨在利用实时荧光定量PCR、原位杂交与免疫组织化学的方法研究ANXA8 mRNA与蛋白在小鼠早期妊娠和人工蜕膜子宫中的表达。原位杂交结果表明:ANXA8 mRNA在小鼠早期妊娠第1～4天子宫腔上皮和腺上皮有微弱表达,ANXA8 mRNA在妊娠第5、6天的初级蜕膜区与第7、8天的次级蜕膜区表达,并随妊娠进行逐渐增强;人工蜕膜化模型中ANXA8 mRNA表达在蜕膜区。实时荧光定量PCR证明:ANXA8 mRNA的表达量在早期妊娠模型中的第7、8天显著提高,人工蜕膜侧子宫与对照侧相比也显著提高。免疫组织化学结果表明:ANXA8蛋白与ANXA8 mRNA表达规律相似。体外分离培养小鼠子宫基质细胞,并诱导蜕膜化,实时荧光定量PCR结果表明ANXA8随着基质细胞的蜕膜化表达升高。以上体内和体外实验表明,ANXA8在小鼠子宫中的表达具有着床相关特异性,ANXA8参与小鼠子宫蜕膜化过程。

为挖掘花生抗逆境胁迫相关基因,克隆抗逆相关膜联蛋白Annexin基因,以花生品种花育25号为试验材料,从已知抑制消减杂交文库中获得花生膜联蛋白Annexin类似基因片段,通过RACE技术获得Annexin基因5'-RACE片段。对5'-RACE序列和抑制消减杂交文库中已知基因片段进行拼接,设计特异引物通过逆转录-聚合酶链式反应(RT-PCR)扩增得到该基因,命名为AhAnn1。结果表明,AhAnn1全长为1 277 bp,开放阅读框为951 bp。根据编码区预测AhAnn1编码一条316个氨基酸组成的多肽,预测分子量为36.10 k Da,等电点为7.07。预测该基因编码的蛋白含有膜联蛋白Annexin保守结构域,定位于细胞质中。蛋白序列多重比对和系统发育分析表明,花生与大豆、苜蓿、鹰嘴豆等豆科植物中的膜联蛋白相似性最高,亲缘关系最近。荧光实时定量PCR结果显示,AhAnn1在根系和叶片中的表达量随干旱胁迫程度的增加而增加。由此推测AhAnn1是一种干旱胁迫应答基因,在花生逆境调控中发挥作用。结果为进一步研究花生AhAnn1基因的功能和花生抗逆境胁迫相关分子机理提供了理论基础。     

Study of annexin A2 expression in gastric cancer by proteomics and tissue microarray

AIM: To investigate the differential expression of annexin A2 (ANXA2) in gastric carcinoma and to analyze the relationship between ANXA2 expression and clinicopathological parameters of gastric carcinoma. METHODS: Pure gastric adenocarcinoma cells (GAC) and normal gastric epithelial cells (NGEC) in 15 patients with gastric cancer were acquired by laser capture microdissection (LCM). All peptide specimens after trypsin digestion were labeled with ¹⁸O/¹⁶O. Quantitatively identification of differential expression of the proteins betweem GAC and NGEC was performed by Nano-RPLC-MS/MS. The expression of ANXA2 in the 2 kinds of tissues was detected by Western blotting. Tissue microarray containing 75 pairs of gastric carcinoma and para-carcinoma tissues was used and the expression of ANXA2 in these specimens was detected by the method of immunohistochemistry (IHC). The relationship between ANXA2 expression and clinicopathological parameters of the pateints with gastric carcinoma was analyzed. RESULTS: A total of 78 differential proteins were identified and ANXA2 was up-expressed in GAC (2.32∶ 1), which was confirmed by Western blotting (P<0.01). The results of IHC showed that the correlations between the expression level of ANXA2 protein and invasive depth (T stage), lymph node metastasis (N stage), histological differentiation, TNM stage and the size of tumor were observed (P<0.01), but the correlations between the ANXA2 expression and sex, age and distant metastasis (M stage) were not found (P>0.05). CONCLUSION: The up-expressed ANXA2 may play an important role in the biological behavior of gastric cancer.
