MiR-106a-5p靶向E2F3和SP-1抑制C2C12细胞成肌分化的研究

为探究miR-106a-5p对成肌分化的作用及潜在调控靶点,在线预测miR-106a-5p潜在靶基因,通过RT-qPCR及Westernblot检测miR-106a-5p对靶基因的调控作用,利用双荧光素酶报告系统验证miR-106a-5p与靶基因之间的互作,并以C2C12细胞系为实验模型,采用过表达技术,在细胞形态学水平初步探索其对成肌分化的作用。在线预测发现E2F3和SP-1可能是miR-106a-5p的潜在靶基因;RT-qPCR分析表明,miR-106a-5p与E2F3和SP-1的表达模式相反;Westernblots结果发现,miR-106a-5p抑制E2F3和SP-1蛋白翻译;双荧光素酶报告载体系统表明,E2F3和SP-1是miR-106a-5p调控成肌分化的靶基因;此外,超表达miR-106a-5p抑制C2C12细胞分化,肌管数目显著减少。结果表明,E2F3和SP-1是miR-106a-5p抑制C2C12细胞成肌分化的靶基因。

Interaction between enteric epithelial cells and Peyer's patch lymphocytes in response to Shigella lipopolysaccharide: Effect on nitric oxide and IL-6 release

AIM： TO investigate the effect of interaction between enteric epithelial cells and lymphocytes of Peyer＇s patch on the release of nitric oxide （NO） and IL-6 in response to Shigella lipopolysaccharide （LPS）. METHODS： Human colonic epithelial cells （Caco-2） were mixed cocultured with lymphocytes of Peyer＇s patch from wild-type （C57 mice） and inducible NO synthase knockout mice, and challenged with Shigella F2a-12 LPS. Release of NO and raiL-6 was measured by Griess colorimetric assay and enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay （ELISA）, respectively. RESULTS： In the absence of LPS challenge, NO was detected in the culture medium of Caco-2 epithelial cells but not in lymphocytes of Peyer＇s patch, and the NO release was further up-regulated in both cocultures with lymphocytes from either the wild-type or iNOS knockout mice, with a significantly higher level observed in the coculture with iNOS knockout lymphocytes. After Shigella F2a-12 LPS challenge for 24-h, NO production was significantly increased in both Caco-2 alone and the coculture with lymphocytes of Peyer＇s patch from the wild-type mice but not from iNOS knockout mice. LPS was found to stimulate the release of mIL-6 from lymphocytes, which was suppressed by coculture with Caco-2 epithelial cells. The LPS-induced mIL-6 production in lymphocytes from iNOS knockout mice was significantly greater than that from the wild-type mice. CONCLUSION： Lymphocytes of Peyer＇s patch maintain a constitutive basal level of NO production from the enteric epithelial cell Caco-2. LPS-induced mIL-6 release from lymphocytes of Peyer＇s patch is suppressed by the cocultured epithelial cells. While no changes are detectable in NO production in lymphocytes from both wild-type and iNOS knockout mice before and after LPS challenge, NO from lymphocytes appears to play an inhibitory role in epithelial NO release and their own mIL-6 release in response to LPS.

不同品系小鼠对福氏2a痢疾杆菌膜成份免疫应答的差异

用福氏2a菌（F2a)全菌作为免疫原观察8种纯系小鼠对F2a菌膜成份[LPS和外膜蛋白（OMP)]免疫应答的差异。免疫后小鼠抗血清分别是与F2a菌超声破碎抗原和经蛋白酶消化的超声破碎抗原做ELISA和免疫印迹分析，结果表明CBA／N和C57BL／6J两种小鼠只对F2a菌OMP反应。而对LPS不反应或反应很弱，因此，这两种小鼠可作为分析F2a菌OMP生物功能和制备McAb的脾细胞供体用。

利用小鼠肠袢模型进行局部感染 ,在不同的时间取Peyer’s结对其进行扫描电镜和透射电镜的观察 ,并用流式细胞仪检测细胞凋亡。结果表明 ,鼠伤寒沙门氏菌 460 0 43和痢疾杆菌F2a 12两种肠道侵袭性菌与微皱褶细胞的粘附发生在局部感染 3 0min ,感染 60～ 90min在M细胞和淋巴细胞中可见到细菌 ,而在感染 6～ 8h后Peyer’s结中的细胞凋亡百分率与对照相比差异最为明显。提示 :鼠伤寒沙门氏菌 460 0 43和痢疾杆菌F2a 12均是借助于M细胞通过上皮屏障 。

福氏2a志贺氏菌301株基因组水平的缺失基因分析

在完成福氏2a志贺氏菌 301株全基因组序列测定工作的基础上, 以非致病性大肠杆菌K12 MG1655株的全基因组序列为参比对象, 进行比较基因组学分析. 结果显示, 与大肠杆菌基因组相比, 福氏2a志贺氏菌 301株基因组中共有136个长度大于1000 bp的片段缺失, 总长为717253 bp. 这些缺失片段中共包含670个可读框(ORF). 通过对ORFs编码产物的功能预测和分析, 发现这些缺失的ORFs主要编码与细菌代谢相关的酶类、结构蛋白、基因转录调控因子以及与细菌遗传物质水平转移相关的元件. 这不仅从全基因组水平揭示了两种具有不同生物学特性和表型的重要肠道细菌的分子差异, 而且为进一步探索其生理活动过程、致病机制以及肠道细菌间的进化等诸方面的问题提供了有价值的线索.
