Cell compatibility is one of the prominent requirements for the fabrication of tissue engineering materials. Silk fibroin (SF) is an excellent material for biomedical applications and shows desirable properties such as good compatibility, minimal tissue reaction, and tailorable degradability. Poly[(R)-3-hydroxybutyrate] (PHB) has a high percentage of crystallinity and a high melting temperature. In this study, PHB and SF were blended together to improve the mechanical properties of the SF fibrous structure and the crystallinity of PHB. Furthermore, the cell-biomaterial interaction on the PHB/SF composite scaffold was expected to be enhanced via the SF. For this purpose, PHB/SF composite scaffolds were prepared through the use of the electrospinning technique, which is a unique method for the production of biomaterials on the nanoscale intended for tissue engineering. PHB/SF scaffolds were prepared with different SF contents and a suitable electrospinning condition was chosen in terms of structure and fiber diameter. The average fiber diameter was 92 ± 2.6 nm at a flow rate of 0.4 mL/h, distance of 20 cm, polymer concentration of PHB/SF-0 of 7%:18% (w/w) or 1:1 (v/v), and voltage of 20 kV. Mechanical and crystalline properties of the PHB/SF scaffold were investigated. Adhesion and proliferation of L929 and HaCaT (mouse fibroblast and immortalized human keratinocyte cell lines) on PHB/SF-0 were examined.
细胞相容性是组织工程材料制造的突出要求之一。丝素蛋白(SF)是一种用于生物医学应用的优秀材料,并显示出良好的相容性、最小的组织反应和可定制的降解性等理想特性。聚[(R)-3-羟基丁酸酯](PHB)具有高的结晶度和高的熔融温度。在本研究中,将PHB和SF共混在一起,以提高SF纤维结构的力学性能和PHB的结晶度。此外,细胞-生物材料在PHB/SF复合支架上的相互作用有望通过SF增强。为此,通过使用静电纺丝技术制备了PHB/SF复合支架,这是一种在纳米尺度上生产用于组织工程的生物材料的独特方法。制备了不同SF含量的PHB/SF支架,并从结构和纤维直径方面选择了合适的静电纺丝条件。在流速为0.4mL/h、距离为20cm、PHB/SF-0的聚合物浓度为7%:18%(w/w)或1:1(v/v)、电压为20kV的条件下,平均纤维直径为92±2.6nm。检测L929和HaCaT(小鼠成纤维细胞和永生化人角质形成细胞系)在PHB/SF-0上的粘附和增殖。

Genetic deficiency of N-acetylgalactosamine-6-sulfate sulfatase (GALNS) due to mutations in the GALNS gene results in the pathogenesis of Morquio A syndrome. To date, more than 200 mutations have been reported in GALNS, resulting in variable clinical features. For this reason, bioinformatics analysis of these mutations is important to determine their effect on the structure and functions of the protein and to establish a correlation between genotype and phenotype. In the present study, eight Pakistani consanguineous families with Morquio A syndrome were clinically and genetically evaluated. Linkage analysis followed by sequence analysis of the gene detected four novel (p.Phe216Ser, p.Met38Arg, p.Ala291Ser, p.Glu121Argfs*37) and two reported (p.Pro420Arg, p.Arg386Cys) mutations in the eight families. In silico structural and functional analysis predicted that these mutations disrupt the function of GALNS protein through fluctuating its three-dimensional structure, stability, and binding affinity and produce severe phenotypes. This is the first comprehensive study on molecular analysis of patients with Morquio A syndrome from Pakistan that reports four novel mutations with their structural and functional consequences.
N-乙酰氨基半乳糖-6-硫酸酯酶(GALNS)基因突变引起的遗传缺陷导致Morquio A综合征的发病机制。到目前为止,GALNS中已经报道了200多个突变,导致了不同的临床特征。因此,对这些突变的生物信息学分析对于确定它们对蛋白质结构和功能的影响以及建立基因型和表型之间的相关性非常重要。在本研究中,对8个患有Morquio A综合征的巴基斯坦血亲家庭进行了临床和遗传学评估。连锁分析和基因序列分析在八个家族中检测到四个新突变(p.Phe216Ser、p.Met38Arg、p.Ala291Ser、p.Glu121Argfs*37)和两个已报道突变(p.Pro420Arg、p.Arg386Cys)。计算机结构和功能分析预测,这些突变通过改变GALNS蛋白的三维结构、稳定性和结合亲和力来破坏其功能,并产生严重的表型。这是首次对巴基斯坦Morquio A综合征患者进行分子分析的全面研究,报告了四种新的突变及其结构和功能后果。

This study reports the generation of a new human muscle tissue equivalent from skeletal muscle-derived stem cells and human umbilical vein endothelial cells (HUVECs). Skeletal muscle stem cells were isolated by the preplate technique and differentiated into neuron-like cells that were positive for neuronal beta-tubulin3 and nestin and negative for the astrocyte marker glial fibrillary acidic protein (GFAP). Coculture of skeletal muscle stem cells with the HUVECs under optimized fetal bovine serum and media conditions resulted in formation of a capillary network among the multinucleated myotubes. The neuron-like cells derived from the human skeletal muscle stem cells were seeded onto vascularized myotubes to obtain the neuromuscular junctions in the coculture. At the end of 24 h of coculture, the neuron-like cells were found to be in association with the myotubes. This model represents a novel complex in vitro human skeletal muscle model containing advanced capillary networks and interacting myotubes and neurons, and it can be used for in vitro drug testing or for skeletal muscle regeneration either through application of cellular therapy or cell-laden tissue-engineered muscle constructs.

The collaboration between the Human Genome Project and the Sanger Institute, spurred on by their contemporary- Celera Genomics, in the race to sequence the human genome, opened the door to a generation of research concerned with the study of the nucleic manual. Following this monumental achievement, the genomic era was born, heralding the development of gene therapy, personalized medicine, pharmacogenomics, and CRISPR/Cas9 gene-editing systems. These 'omic' disciplines offer a wide range of applications in the treatment of disease and the betterment of the quality of human life. Their notability, however, manifests in the unique mix of sociological and scientific discourse that ensues. Current genomic-era milestones present a unique opportunity to view scientific advance in a thoughtful light, lacing together discoveries, history, and ethical questions, while encouraging the public to consider the varied facets of this scientific evolution with the same curiosity and enthusiasm as the trailblazers of the Human Genome Project. Consider it an invitation to reflect on the fruits of the genomic era.
人类基因组计划和桑格研究所在当代赛莱拉基因组学的推动下,在人类基因组测序的竞赛中进行了合作,为新一代研究核酸手册打开了大门。在这一重大成就之后,基因组时代诞生了,预示着基因治疗、个性化医学、药物基因组学和CRISPR/Cas9基因编辑系统的发展。这些“经济学”学科在治疗疾病和改善人类生活质量方面提供了广泛的应用。然而,它们的知名度体现在随后社会学和科学话语的独特组合中。当前基因组时代的里程碑提供了一个独特的机会,可以从深思熟虑的角度看待科学进步,将发现、历史和伦理问题结合在一起,同时鼓励公众以与人类基因组计划开拓者一样的好奇心和热情来考虑这一科学进化的各个方面。把它看作是一种邀请,让我们反思基因组时代的成果。

This study aims to explore the role and the possible underlying molecular mechanism of SNF5 in the pathogenesis of rheumatoid arthritis (RA). MH7A cells were respectively transfected with pc-SNF5 (pcDNA3.1 containing the Brg1 coding sequence), short hairpin RNA against SNF5 (shSNF5), and their negative controls (pcDNA3.1 and shNC). The alterations of SNF5 expression were assessed by qRT-PCR and western blot analysis. MTT assay, flow cytometry, and western blot analysis were performed to evaluate proliferation, apoptosis, and expression levels of p16 and JNK pathway associated proteins, respectively. Finally, the effect of SNF5 was verified in fibroblast-like synoviocytes (FLSs) obtained from a rat model with adjuvant-induced arthritis. Results showed that the expression of SNF5 was increased in the pc-SNF5 group (P < 0.05) while it was decreased in the shSNF5 group (P < 0.05). Afterwards, cell viability after transfection was reduced by SNF5 overexpression (P < 0.05, P < 0.01, or P < 0.001), whereas it was enhanced by SNF5 knockdown (P < 0.05 or P < 0.001). In terms of apoptosis, SNF5 overexpression promoted cell apoptosis (P < 0.01). The western blot analysis showed that the phosphorylated levels of proteins involved in the JNK pathway were downregulated by SNF5 overexpression while they were upregulated by SNF5 knockdown (P < 0.05, P < 0.01, or P < 0.001). However, the effect of SNF5 on the expression of p16 was the opposite. Finally, the effect of SNF5 was validated in murine FLSs. In conclusion, SNF5 suppresses proliferation and induces apoptosis of fibroblast-like cells through overexpression of p16 and suppression of the JNK pathway.
本研究旨在探讨SNF5在类风湿关节炎(RA)发病中的作用及其可能的分子机制。分别转染pc-SNF5(含有Brg1编码序列的pcDNA3.1)、抗SNF5的短发夹RNA (shSNF5)及其阴性对照(pcDNA3.1和shNC)。采用qRT-PCR和western blot分析SNF5的表达变化。采用MTT法、流式细胞术和western blot分析分别评估p16和JNK通路相关蛋白的增殖、凋亡和表达水平。最后,在从佐剂诱导的关节炎大鼠模型中获得的成纤维细胞样滑膜细胞(FLSs)中验证了SNF5的作用。结果显示,pc-SNF5组SNF5表达升高(P < 0.05), shSNF5组SNF5表达降低(P < 0.05)。转染后,SNF5过表达使细胞活力降低(P < 0.05、P < 0.01或P < 0.001),敲低SNF5使细胞活力增强(P < 0.05或P < 0.001)。在细胞凋亡方面,SNF5过表达促进细胞凋亡(P < 0.01)。western blot分析显示,SNF5过表达可下调JNK通路相关蛋白的磷酸化水平,而SNF5敲低可上调JNK通路相关蛋白的磷酸化水平(P < 0.05, P < 0.01,或P < 0.001)。而SNF5对p16表达的影响则相反。最后,在小鼠FLSs中验证了SNF5的作用。综上所述,SNF5通过过表达p16和抑制JNK通路抑制成纤维细胞样细胞的增殖和诱导凋亡。

In conclusion, SNF5 suppresses proliferation and induces apoptosis of fibroblast-like cells through overexpression of p16 and suppression of the JNK pathway.","PeriodicalId":23358,"journal":{"name":"Turkish Journal of Biology","volume":"41 1","pages":"535-542"},"PeriodicalIF":2.2,"publicationDate":"2017-06-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://sci-hub-pdf.com/10.3906/BIY-1610-40","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"45882882","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"生物学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Cold environmental conditions influence the growth and development of plants, causing crop reduction or even plant death. Under stress conditions, cold-inducible promoters regulate cold-related gene expression as a molecular switch. Recent studies have shown that the chloroplast-expressed GPAT gene plays an important role in determining cold sensitivity. However, the mechanism of the transcriptional regulation of GPAT is ambiguous. The 5'-flanking region of GPAT with length of 1494 bp was successfully obtained by chromosome walking from Lilium pensylvanicum. The cis-elements of GPAT promoters were predicted and analyzed by a plant cis-acting regulatory DNA element database. There exist core promoter regions including TATA-box and CAAT-box and transcription regulation regions, which involve some regulatory elements such as I-box, W-box, MYB, MYC, and DREB. Full-length and four 5'-deletion fragments linked with GUS vectors were constructed and transformed into Nicotiana tabacum by Agrobacterium-mediated transformation. Transient transformation and histochemical staining of leaves indicated that the activity of the GPAT promoter was strong and induced by low-temperature stress. The deletion of a -294 bp region suggested that the DRE-motif was functionally an essential element for cold induction, and the deletion of -1494 bp and -1194 bp regions suggested that negative regulation exists in the promoter. Our results show that the GPAT gene promoter is a key regulator under cold stress and we think that this study will have significant impact on lily molecular breeding and improving the resistance of plants.
寒冷的环境条件会影响植物的生长发育,导致作物减产甚至植物死亡。在胁迫条件下,冷诱导型启动子作为分子开关调节冷相关基因的表达。最近的研究表明,叶绿体表达的GPAT基因在决定冷敏感性方面起着重要作用。然而,GPAT的转录调控机制尚不明确。利用染色体走行技术从彭西百合中成功获得了长度为1494bp的GPAT 5’-侧翼区。通过植物顺式作用调控DNA元件数据库预测和分析GPAT启动子的顺式元件。存在包括TATA-box和CAAT-box在内的核心启动子区和转录调控区,它们涉及一些调控元件,如I-box、W-box、MYB、MYC和DREB。构建了与GUS载体连接的全长和4个5’-缺失片段,并通过农杆菌介导的转化转化到烟草中。叶片的瞬时转化和组织化学染色表明,GPAT启动子的活性较强,是低温胁迫诱导的。-294bp区域的缺失表明DRE基序在功能上是冷诱导的必需元件,-1494bp和-1194bp区域的缺失则表明启动子中存在负调控。我们的研究结果表明,GPAT基因启动子是冷胁迫下的关键调控因子,我们认为这项研究将对百合的分子育种和提高植物的抗性产生重大影响。

The selection of stably expressed reference genes is crucial for quantitative real-time polymerase chain reaction (qRT-PCR) assay when assessing osteosarcoma treated with cyclophosphamide (CTX) and Ginkgo biloba L. extract (EGB). We aimed to identify the reference genes that are stably expressed in human osteosarcoma cell lines after the above treatments. We used qRT-PCR assay to determine the expression levels of 18S, ACTB, ALAS1, GAPDH, TBP, HPRT1, RPL29, HMBS, PPIA, PUM1, GUSB, and B2M in the cell lines MG-63, Saos-2, and U2OS, which were treated with CTX or EGB or both. We analyzed the expression stability of these genes using geNorm, NormFinder, and BestKeeper. The optimal reference gene combinations were 18S + PPIA + HPRT1 in the total group, HMBS + ALAS1 + 18S in the EGB-treated group, PPIA + RPL29 in the EGB + CTX-treated group, PPIA + HPRT1 in the MG-63 group, 18S + PPIA in the Saos-2 group, and HPRT1 + ALAS1 + GAPDH in the U2OS group. We conclude that no single reference gene was most stably expressed in all three treated cell lines. Our findings provide a suitable approach through which qRT-PCR can be applied to investigate the pharmacological effects and the molecular mechanisms of CTX and EGB on human osteosarcoma.
在评估环磷酰胺(CTX)和银杏叶提取物(EGB)治疗的骨肉瘤时,选择稳定表达的参考基因对于定量实时聚合酶链式反应(qRT-PCR)检测至关重要。我们旨在鉴定经过上述处理后在人骨肉瘤细胞系中稳定表达的参考基因。我们使用qRT-PCR测定来测定用CTX或EGB或两者处理的细胞系MG-63、Saos-2和U2OS中18S、ACTB、ALAS1、GAPDH、TBP、HPRT1、RPL29、HMBS、PPIA、PUM1、GUSB和B2M的表达水平。我们使用geNorm、NormFinder和BestKeeper分析了这些基因的表达稳定性。最佳的参考基因组合是总组中的18S+PPIA+HPRT1,EGB处理组中的HMBS+ALAS1+18S,EGB+CTX处理组的PPIA+RPL29,MG-63组的PPIA+HPRT1、Saos-2组的18S+PPIA和U2OS组的HPRT1+ALAS1+GAPDH。我们得出的结论是,在所有三种处理的细胞系中,没有一个参考基因表达最稳定。我们的研究结果为qRT-PCR应用于研究CTX和EGB对人骨肉瘤的药理作用和分子机制提供了一种合适的方法。
