LPS-Induced Proliferation and Chemokine Secretion from BEAS-2B Cells

The surface antigen CD14 plays an important role in innate immunity, serving as a pattern recognition receptor for lipopolysaccharides (LPS). The aim of this study was to investigate the proliferation, NFκB activation, and chemokine secretion of BEAS-2B cells, a human bronchial epithelial cell line, after LPS stimulation, and some details of inVolved signaling. The presence of CD14 was investigated by flow cytometry. Cell proliferation was measured with a [3H]-thymidine incorporation assay. sCD14, RANTES, and IL-8 concentrations in cell supernatants were measured by ELISA. BEAS-2B cells express CD14 on their surface and secrete soluble CD14 into the supernatant. Cells react on LPS with increased proliferation, activation of NFκB, and the secretion of the pro-inflammatory chemotactic cytokines IL-8 and RANTES, which proves the functionality of the CD14 receptor. Neither CD14 nor sCD14 are regulated by LPS. Specific inhibitors of various intracellular signaling pathways diminish the LPS-induced proliferation and IL-8 secretion: Thus MAP-Kinases p38 and JNK, tyrosine kinases, and PI3-kinase are involved in the signaling cascade from the LPS-CD14-complex on the cell surface to the increased cell proliferation and expression of IL-8;furthermore, ERK 1/2, IRAK 1/4, and the NFκB pathway are inVolved in the latter. The data show the existence and functionality of CD14 receptors on BEAS-2B cells and elucidate the signaling pathways inVolved. LPS is able to increase cell prolife-ration, various cytokines which are dependent on endogenous CD14. Three MAPK pathways, PI3 kinase and tyrosine kinase may be involved. Also CD14 is present/involved which was controversial.

African Dust Storms Reaching Puerto Rican Coast Stimulate the Secretion of IL-6 and IL-8 and Cause Cytotoxicity to Human Bronchial Epithelial Cells (BEAS-2B)

African dust storm events (ADE) travel across theAtlantic Ocean(ADEAO) and reach the Puerto Rican coast (ADEPRC), potentially impacting air quality and human health. To what extent seasonal variations in atmospheric particulate matter (PM) size fractions, composition and sources trigger respiratory-adverse effects to Puerto Ricans is still unclear. In the present study, we investigated the pro-inflammatory and cytotoxic effects of PM samples harvested during ADEAO (PM10), ADEPRC (PM2.5 and PM10) and Non-ADE (Pre-and Post-ADEAO and Non-ADEPRC), using BEAS-2B cells. Endotoxins (ENX) in PM2.5 and PM10 extracts and traces of metals (TMET) in PM2.5 extracts were also examined. IL-6 and IL-8 secretion and cytotoxicity were used as endpoints. ADEAO and ADEPRC extracts were found to be more cytotoxic than Non-ADE and ADEAO were more toxic than ADEPRC extracts. PM10 extracts from ADEAO and Post-ADEAO caused significant secretion of IL-8. IL-6 and IL-8 secretion was higher following treatment with PM10 and PM2.5 ADEPRC than with Non-ADEPRC extracts. ENX levels were found to be higher in PM10 ADEAO than in the rest of the samples tested. TMET levels were higher in PM2.5 ADEPRC than in Non-ADEPRC extracts. Deferoxamine significantly reduced cytotoxicity and IL-6 and IL-8 secretion whereas Polymyxin B did not. TMET in PM2.5 fractions is a major determinant in ADEPRC-induced toxicity and work in conjunction with ENX to cause toxicity to lung cells in vitro. ENX and TMET may be responsible, in part, for triggering PM-respiratory adverse responses in susceptible and predisposed individuals.

The PI3K/Akt/GSK-3β/ROS/eIF2B pathway promotes breast cancer growth and metastasis via suppression of NK cell cytotoxicity and tumor cell susceptibility

Objective: To examine the effect of pSer9-GSK-3β on breast cancer and to determine whether the underlying metabolic and immunological mechanism is associated with ROS/eIF2B and natural killer(NK) cells.Methods: We employed TWS119 to inactivate GSK-3β by phosphorylating Ser9 and explored its effect on breast cancer and NK cells. The expression of GSK-3β, natural killer group 2 member D(NKG2D) ligands, eIF2B was quantified by PCR and Western blot. We measured intracellular reactive oxygen species(ROS) and mitochondrial ROS using DCFH-DA and MitoSOX^(TM) probe,respectively, and conducted quantitative analysis of cellular respiration on 4T1 cells with mitochondrial respiratory chain complex Ⅰ/Ⅲ kits.Results: Our investigation revealed that TWS119 downregulated NKG2D ligands(H60 a and Rae1), suppressed the cytotoxicity of NK cells, and promoted the migration of 4T1 murine breast cancer cells. Nevertheless, LY290042, which attenuates p-GSK-3β formation by inhibiting the PI3K/Akt pathway, reversed these effects. We also found that higher expression of p Ser9-GSK-3β induced higher levels of ROS, and observed that abnormality of mitochondrial respiratory chain complex Ⅰ/Ⅲ function induced the dysfunction of GSK-3β-induced electron transport chain, naturally disturbing the ROS level. In addition, the expression of NOX3 and NOX4 was significantly up-regulated, which affected the generation of ROS and associated with the metastasis of breast cancer. Furthermore, we found that the expression of pSer535-eIF2B promoted the expression of NKG2D ligands(Mult-1 and Rae1) following by expression of pSer9-GSK-3β and generation of ROS.Conclusions: The PI3K/Akt/GSK-3β/ROS/eIF2B pathway could regulate NK cell activity and sensitivity of tumor cells to NK cells,which resulted in breast cancer growth and lung metastasis. Thus, GSK-3β is a promising target of anti-tumor therapy.

Exosomal miR-23b from bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells alleviates oxidative stress and pyroptosis after intracerebral hemorrhage

Our previous studies showed that miR-23b was downregulated in patients with intracerebral hemorrhage(ICH). This indicates that miR-23b may be closely related to the patho-physiological mechanism of ICH, but this hypothesis lacks direct evidence. In this study, we established rat models of ICH by injecting collagenase Ⅶ into the right basal ganglia and treating them with an injection of bone marrow mesenchymal stem cell(BMSC)-derived exosomal miR-23b via the tail vein. We found that edema in the rat brain was markedly reduced and rat behaviors were improved after BMSC exosomal miR-23b injection compared with those in the ICH groups. Additionally, exosomal miR-23b was transported to the microglia/macrophages, thereby reducing oxidative stress and pyroptosis after ICH. We also used hemin to mimic ICH conditions in vitro. We found that phosphatase and tensin homolog deleted on chromosome 10(PTEN) was the downstream target gene of miR-23b, and exosomal miR-23b exhibited antioxidant effects by regulating the PTEN/Nrf2 pathway. Moreover, miR-23b reduced PTEN binding to NOD-like receptor family pyrin domain containing 3(NLRP3) and NLRP3 inflammasome activation, thereby decreasing the NLRP3-dependent pyroptosis level. These findings suggest that BMSC-derived exosomal miR-23b exhibits antioxidant effects through inhibiting PTEN and alleviating NLRP3 inflammasome-mediated pyroptosis, thereby promoting neurologic function recovery in rats with ICH.

Expression of Human Interferon α 2b Gene in Ginseng Cells

The human interferon α 2b（hIFN-α2b） gene was cloned into binary vector pBI121 to obtain plant expression vector pBIFN. The recombinant plasmid pBIFN was transferred into Agrobacterium tumefaciens strain LBA4404. Then the hIFN-α2b gene was introduced into ginseng callus cells via Agrobacterium-mediated transformation and the ginseng cell line carrying hIFN-α2b gene was selected on G418-containing medium. The presence of target gene in transformed cells was confirmed by PCR and RT-PCR. The results indicate that hIFN-α2b gene has been integrated into the ginseng cells＇ genome, with transcription products, hIFN-α2b expressed by the transgenic ginseng cells was detected by Western blot. It was shown that a specific protein band at 19000 could be observed. Cytopathic effect（CPE） inhibition assay using the W1SH-VSV system shows that the mean antiviral activity of expressed hlFN-a2α was 6.0× 10^4 IU/mL.

A SARS-CoV-2 neutralizing antibody discovery by single cell sequencing and molecular modeling

Although vaccines have been developed,mutations of SARS-CoV-2,especially the dominant B.1.617.2(delta)and B.1.529(omicron)strains with more than 30 mutations on their spike protein,have caused a significant decline in prophylaxis,calling for the need for drug improvement.Antibodies are drugs preferentially used in infectious diseases and are easy to get from immunized organisms.The current study combined molecular modeling and single memory B cell sequencing to assess candidate sequences before experiments,providing a strategy for the fabrication of SARS-CoV-2 neutralizing antibodies.A total of 128 sequences were obtained after sequencing 196 memory B cells,and 42 sequences were left after merging extremely similar ones and discarding incomplete ones,followed by homology modeling of the antibody variable region.Thirteen candidate sequences were expressed,of which three were tested positive for receptor binding domain recognition but only one was confirmed as having broad neutralization against several SARS-CoV-2 variants.The current study successfully obtained a SARS-CoV-2 antibody with broad neutralizing abilities and provided a strategy for antibody development in emerging infectious diseases using single memory B cell BCR sequencing and computer assistance in antibody fabrication.

目的探讨瞬时受体电位M7通道(TRPM7)和B细胞迁移基因2(BTG2)在宫颈癌组织中的表达及临床意义。方法选取2018年5月至2020年5月石家庄市妇幼保健院收治的110例宫颈癌患者作为研究对象,术中取其肿瘤组织及癌旁组织,根据随访情况分为预后良好组与预后不良组。采用免疫组化法检测癌旁组织和肿瘤组织中TRPM7、BTG2蛋白表达,分析TRPM7、BTG2蛋白表达水平与患者临床病理特征的关系,比较预后不良组与预后良好组肿瘤组织中TRPM7、BTG2蛋白表达,采用Cox回归分析宫颈癌患者预后的影响因素,采用Kaplan-Meier曲线分析TRPM7、BTG2水平与宫颈癌患者预后的关系。结果与癌旁组织比较,肿瘤组织中TRPM7蛋白表达水平升高,BTG2蛋白表达水平降低(P<0.05)。TRPM7、BTG2蛋白表达水平与肿瘤分化程度、淋巴结转移、恶性肿瘤国际临床病理(TNM)分期有关(P<0.05)。与预后良好组比较,预后不良组肿瘤组织中TRPM7蛋白表达水平升高,BTG2蛋白表达水平降低(P<0.05)。TRPM7、TNM分期(Ⅲ期)、肿瘤低分化程度、淋巴结转移是宫颈癌患者预后的危险因素(P<0.05),BTG2是宫颈癌患者预后的保护因素(P<0.05)。TRPM7高表达组3年生存率低于TRPM7低表达组(P<0.05);BTG2高表达组3年生存率高于BTG2低表达组(P<0.05)。结论宫颈癌患者肿瘤组织中TRPM7蛋白表达上调,BTG2蛋白表达下调,均与宫颈癌预后有关。

lncRNA-MIAT通过靶向调控miR-584/EZH2轴促进DLBCL细胞的自噬

目的探讨长链非编码RNA(lncRNA)-MIAT通过调控微小RNA(miR)-584/ZESTE同源物增强子2(EZH2)轴对弥漫性大B细胞淋巴瘤(DLBCL)细胞自噬的影响。方法将DLBCL细胞系Raji分为siMIAT组[lncRNA-MIAT的小干扰RNA(siRNA)构建沉默组]、沉默阴性对照组(siNC组)、miR-584的模拟物组(mimic组)、模拟物阴性对照组(mimic-NC组)。将siMIAT组的Raji继续分为miR-584的inhibitor组(inhibitor组)、inhibitor的阴性对照组(inhibitor-NC组)、EZH2过表达组(pcDNA-EZH2组)以及过表达空载体组(pcDNA-null组)。用实时定量PCR法(qRT-PCR)检测lncRNA-MIAT和miR-584的表达,用荧光原位杂交(FISH)实验检测lncRNA-MIAT在Raji中的定位。用Western blot法检测EZH2和细胞自噬标志物LC3-I、LC3-II、Atg5、Beclin-1和p62的表达。CCK-8法检测细胞的增殖活性。用双荧光素酶报告基因分析miR-584与EZH2的靶向调控作用以及miR-584与lncRNA-MIAT的靶向调控作用。结果与B淋巴细胞系MAO比,lncRNA-MIAT在Raji中高表达(P<0.05),lncRNA-MIAT的表达主要定位在MAO和Raji的细胞质中。沉默lncRNA-MIAT抑制细胞的增殖活性并抑制细胞的自噬(均P<0.05),沉默lncRNA-MIAT还抑制EZH2的表达并促进miR-584的表达(均P<0.05)。生信分析预测lncRNA-MIAT与miR-584具有多个结合位点,以及EZH2与miR-584也具有多个结合位点,双荧光素酶报告基因实验证实EZH2是miR-584的靶基因,且miR-584与lncRNA-MIAT也具有靶向调控作用。在沉默lncRNA-MIAT的细胞中,与inhibitor-NC组比,inhibitor组中细胞的增殖活性以及细胞的自噬均增加(P<0.05)。在沉默lncRNA-MIAT的细胞中,与pcDNA-null组比,pcDNA-EZH2组中细胞的增殖活性以及细胞的自噬均增加(P<0.05)。结论lncRNA-MIAT通过靶向调控miR-584/EZH2轴促进DLBCL的增殖,增强DLBCL细胞的自噬。
