Mammary tumors are the most common tumors in women and non-spayed female dogs. One of the reasons for mammary tumors is mutations of the tumor suppressor gene, BRCA2. BRCA2 participates in homologous recombination repair by interacting with the RAD51 recombinase. BRCA2 has two RAD51-binding domains, consisting of BRC repeats and the C-terminal RAD51-binding domain, respectively. Although several studies have addressed the function of the C-terminal RAD51-binding domain of human BRCA2, the amino acid sequences required for the RAD51-interaction activity remain unclear. In this study, the C-terminal RAD51-binding domains of canine and human BRCA2 were compared; the canine domain displayed a weaker interaction with RAD51. This difference was attributed to the C-terminal portion of the domain via a comparison between canine and human domains. Furthermore, peptides shorter than those previously reported displayed RAD51-interacting activity, and a core motif of this domain consisting of 25 amino acids was identified. Since a mutation (S3323N) was reported in the core motif of this domain, the effect of this mutation was evaluated. The mutant exhibited similar RAD51-binding activity as that of the wild-type protein, suggesting that the mutation was functionally neutral. These data suggested that the C-terminal portion of the BRCA2 C-terminal RAD51-binding domain influenced its RAD51-interaction activity, and a minimum core motif of 25 amino acids was identified in this domain. These data may help clarify BRCA2 function, as well as the tumorigenic effects of BRCA2 mutation. 相似文献

Mycoplasma pneumonia of swine (MPS) lung lesions and immunogenic properties were compared between a Landrace line that was genetically selected for reduced incidence of pulmonary MPS lesions, and a non‐selected Landrace line. The MPS‐selected Landrace line showed significantly lower degrees of pulmonary MPS lesions compared with the non‐selected Landrace line. When changes in immunity before and after vaccination were compared, the percentage of B cells in the peripheral blood of the MPS‐selected Landrace line was significantly lower than that of the non‐selected line. Furthermore, the concentration of growth hormone and the mitogen activity of peripheral blood mononuclear cells in the MPS‐selected Landrace line showed significantly (P < 0.05) lower increases after vaccination than the non‐selected line. Conversely, the concentration of peripheral blood interferon (IFN)‐γ and salivary immunoglobulin A (IgA) after Mycoplasma hyopneumoniae vaccination was significantly higher in the MPS‐selected Landrace line than in the non‐selected line. Gene expression of toll‐like receptor (TLR)2 and TLR4 was significantly higher in the MPS‐selected Landrace line in immune tissues, with the exception of the hilar lymph nodes. The present results suggest that peripheral blood IFN‐γ, salivary IgA TLR2, and TLR4 are important immunological factors influencing the development of MPS lesions. 相似文献

Immunogenic properties and mycoplasmal pneumonia of swine (MPS) lung lesions were compared between the immunity‐selected Large White line and the non‐selected Large White line. The selected Large White line showed a higher level of pulmonary MPS lesions compared with the non‐selected Large White line. Subsequent to vaccination, the percentage of natural killer cells and T cells (CD3+CD4+CD8‐ and CD3+CD4?CD8+ T cells) were significantly increased in the non‐selected line but remained unchanged in the immunity‐selected Large White line. Secretion of Mycoplasma hyopneumoniae vaccine‐specific immunoblogulin G and phagocyte activity in peripheral blood were significantly higher in the immunity‐selected Large White line than in the non‐selected line. Expression of interleukin (IL)‐4 and IL‐6 messenger RNA in hilar lymph nodes was significantly lower in the immunity‐selected Large White line than in the non‐selected line. However, expression of IL‐10 in all immune tissues was significantly higher in the immunity‐selected Large White line. These results suggest that the selection for high immunity was not effective in increasing resistance to MPS lung lesions. 相似文献

To understand the influence of crossbreeding on Mycoplasma pneumonia of swine (MPS) resistance and immune characteristics, two crossbred lines were characterized. One crossbred line, LaWa, was generated by crossing the MPS pulmonary lesion selected Landrace line (La) and the highly immune‐selected Large White line (Wa). The second crossbred line, LaWb, was generated by crossing the La line and the nonselected Large White line (Wb). The crossbred LbWb line (nonselected Landrace line × nonselected Large White line) and the La line were used as controls. The LaWa and LaWb lines had an intermediate level of MPS lung lesions between La and LbWb lines, although the difference was not statistically significant. After stimulation with sheep red blood cells (SRBCs), the LaWb and LaWa lines showed immune characteristics similar to that of the La line; the number of monocytes in peripheral blood increased, while B cells, T cells, secretion of SRBC‐specific immunoglobulin G, and interleukin (IL)‐13 decreased. Additionally, the number of natural killer (NK) cells and the expression of IL‐4 and IL‐17 were significantly higher in the LaWb and LaWa lines, respectively. These data suggested that crossbreeding of La and Wa lines resulted in the inheritance of some of the selected immune responses. 相似文献

When animals do not become pregnant, regression of the corpus luteum (CL) is essential for normal cyclicity because it allows the development of a new ovulatory follicle. Luteal regression is caused by a pulsatile release of prostaglandin (PG) F2α from the uterus in the late luteal phase in most mammals including cattle. Although it has been proposed in ruminants that pulsatile PGF2α secretion is generated by a positive feedback loop between luteal and/or hypophyseal oxytocin and uterine PGF2α, the bovine endometrium may possess other mechanisms for initiation of luteolytic PGF2α secretion. There is increasing evidence that several cytokines mainly produced by immune cells modulate CL and uterine function in many species. Tumor necrosis factor‐α (TNF‐α) stimulates PGF2α output from bovine endometrium not only at the follicular phase but also at the late luteal phase. Administration of TNF‐α at a high concentration prolongs luteal lifespan, whereas administration of a low concentration of TNF‐α accelerates luteal regression in cows. The data obtained from the authors’ previous in vitro and in vivo studies strongly suggest that TNF‐α is a crucial factor in regulating luteolysis in cows. The authors’ recent study has shown that interleukin‐1α mediates PG secretion from bovine endometrium as a local regulator. Furthermore, interferon‐τ (IFN‐τ) suppresses the action of TNF‐α on PGF2α synthesis by the bovine endometrium in vitro, suggesting that IFN‐τ plays a luteoprotective role by inhibiting TNF‐α‐induced PGF2α production in early pregnancy. The purpose of the present review is to summarize current understanding of the endocrine mechanisms that regulate uterine function by cytokines during the estrous cycle and early pregnancy in cows. 相似文献

Hypoxic conditions in various cancers are believed to relate with their
malignancy, and hypoxia inducible factor-1α (HIF-1α) has been shown to be a major
regulator of the response to low oxygen. In this study, we examined HIF-1α expression in
canine lymphoma using cell lines and clinical samples and found that these cells expressed
HIF-1α. Moreover, the HIF-1α inhibitors, echinomycin, YC-1 and 2-methoxyestradiol,
suppressed the proliferation of canine lymphoma cell lines. In a xenograft model using
NOD/scid mice, echinomycin treatment resulted in a dose-dependent regression of the tumor.
Our results suggest that HIF-1α contributes to the proliferation and/or survival of canine
lymphoma cells. Therefore, HIF-1α inhibitors may be potential agents to treat canine
lymphoma. 相似文献

We recently demonstrated that luteal cells flow out from the ovary via lymphatic vessels during luteolysis. However, the regulatory mechanisms of the outflow of luteal cells are not known. Matrix metalloproteinases (MMPs) can degrade the extracellular matrix and basal membrane, and tissue inhibitors of matrix metalloproteinases (TIMPs) inhibit the activity of MMPs. To test the hypothesis that MMP expression in luteal cells is regulated by luteolytic factors, we investigated the effects of prostaglandin F2α (PGF), interferon γ (IFNG) and tumor necrosis factor α (TNF) on the mRNA expression of MMPs and TIMPs in cultured luteal cells. Luteal cells obtained from the CL at the mid-luteal stage (days 8–12 after ovulation) were cultured with PGF (0.01, 0.1, 1 μM), IFNG (0.05, 0.5, 5 nM) and TNF (0.05, 0.5, 0.5 nM) alone or in combination for 24 h. PGF and IFNG significantly increased the expression of MMP-1 mRNA. In addition, 1 μM PGF in combination with 5 nM IFNG
stimulated MMP-1 and MMP-9 mRNA expression significantly more than either treatment alone. In contrast, IFNG significantly decreased the level of MMP-14 mRNA. The mRNA expression of TIMP-1, which preferentially inhibits MMP-1, was suppressed by 5 nM INFG. One μM PGF and 5 nM IFNG suppressed TIMP-2 mRNA expression. These results suggest a new role of MMPs: luteal MMPs stimulated by PGF and IFNG break down the extracellular matrix surrounding luteal cells, which accelerates detachment from the CL during luteolysis, providing an essential prerequisite for outflow of luteal cells from the CL to lymphatic vessels. 相似文献

Isolated stromal cells from the ampullary and isthmic parts of bovine oviductal tissues
were cultured in monolayer and spheroid (cell aggregate) systems. Prostaglandin F2α (PGF)
plays a crucial role in oviductal contraction and is produced by oviductal epithelial
cells in cattle. Since stromal cells of many organs produce PGF, PGF production by bovine
oviductal stromal cells was investigated. After PGF synthesis was confirmed, the utility
of isolation and culture methods for oviductal stromal cells was evaluated by PGF
production in the present study. The homogeneity of the cells was > 99%. PGF production
of the cells was increased by tumor necrosis factor-α. The stromal cells aggregated and
formed a spheroid by the treatments with several reagents. PGF production was higher in
the spheroid culture than in the monolayer culture. The isolation and culture methods
described here will facilitate studies of the physiological function of bovine oviductal
stromal cells. 相似文献

Luteoprotective mechanisms of luteinizing hormone (LH) involved in the maintenance of
bovine corpus luteum (CL) function have not been completely clarified. Since antioxidant
enzymes are well documented as antiapoptotic factors in the CL of many mammals, we
hypothesized that the luteoprotective action of LH is mediated by stimulating the local
production and action of antioxidant enzymes. To test the above hypothesis, in the present
study, we examined the mechanisms involved in the luteoprotective actions of LH. Cultured
bovine luteal cells obtained from the CL at the mid-luteal stage (days 8–12 of the estrous
cycle) were treated with LH (10 ng/ml), onapristone (OP; a specific progesterone receptor
antagonist, 100 μM) and diethyldithiocarbamate [DETC; an inhibitor of superoxide dismutase
(SOD), 100 μM] for 24 h. LH in combination with or without OP significantly increased the
mRNA and protein expressions of manganese SOD (Mn-SOD) and catalase (CATA) and SOD
activity. While LH alone significantly increased the mRNA and protein
expressions of SOD containing copper and zinc (Cu,Zn-SOD), OP in combination with or
without LH significantly decreased the mRNA and protein expressions of Cu,Zn-SOD. In
addition, Cu,Zn-SOD, Mn-SOD and CATA mRNA expressions were higher at the mid luteal phase
than the other luteal phases. LH in combination with DETC significantly decreased
LH-increased cell viability. The overall results suggest that LH increases cell viability
by LH-increased antioxidant enzymes, resulting in maintenance of CL function during the
luteal phase in cattle. 相似文献
