T- and B-cell participation in the immune response induced by immune ribonucleic acid (iRNA) preparations against T-dependent antigens was studied using athymic nude, neonatally thymectomized (NT) and cyclophosphamide-treated (CY) mice. The iRNA(T + B) preparations were made from the spleen of BALB/c mice immunized with these antigens. Injection of the iRNA into nude or NT mice caused an increase in the number of specific rosette-forming cells (RFC) and of memory cells capable of responding to secondary stimulus with a small dose of the corresponding antigen. Injection with T-dependent antigens or with iRNA(T + B) did not cause any immune response in CY mice, suggesting depletion of the B-cell function. The iRNA(T) and iRNA(B) were prepared, respectively, from the thymuses of BALB/c mice and from the spleens of nude mice which had been immunized with T-dependent antigens. Injection of nude mice with both iRNA(T) and iRNA(B) caused an increase in the number of specific RFC and the secondary antibody formation response after boosting with a small dose of the corresponding antigen. Injection of iRNA(T) preparation into nude mice could induce the anamnestic response after boosting. However, neither of the iRNA(T) or iRNA(B) preparation could induce in nude mice the proliferation of the number of specific RFC. These results indicate the presence of at least two kinds of iRNA preparations against T-dependent antigens and that the cooperation of iRNA(T) and iRNA(B) was required for the induction of immune response against T-dependent antigens. 相似文献

The immune response of congenitally athymic (nude) mice induced by immune ribonucleic acid (iRNA) to lipopolysaccharides of Escherichia coli 0-55 (LPS) was studied. The thymus-independent nature of the immune response of mice to LPS was confirmed and nude mice responded to LPS in a manner similar to normal mice. An iRNA preparation extracted from the spleen of nude mice immunized with LPS could induce the proliferation of rosette-forming cells (RFC) in nude mice. iRNA preparations were insensitive to treatment with deoxyribonuclease and pronase, but were inactivated by ribonuclease treatment. The active fraction of the iRNA preparation had sedimentation values in a sucrose density gradient between 7 and 16 S and comprised only a small fraction of the total RNA present in the spleen cells, thereby indicating that the active moiety was one or more species of RNA. The anamnestic response was induced by treatment with iRNA made from the spleen of nude mice immunized with LPS. An increase in the number of rosette-forming cells (RFC), plaque forming cells (PFC) and formation of humoral antibody to LPS was seen after injection with a small amount of LPS 4 weeks after iRNA treatment. 相似文献

Ribonucleic acid (immune RNA, iRNA), extracted from the spleens of mice immunized with sheep red blood cells (SRBC), induced specific immunological memory. The humoral immune responses of iRNA-treated animals were compared with in vivo and in vitro primary and secondary responses, using the haemolytic plaque-forming cell (PFC) assay. IgM antibody formation was markedly higher in iRNA-treated than in any other mice. The effect of iRNA was antigen-specific and similar materials from non-immunized mice had no activity. 相似文献

本研究用重组白细胞介素2(rIL-2)联合转移因子(TF)或抗肿瘤免疫核糖核酸(iRNA)作用于外周血单个核细胞(PBMC),测定其对K562,Raji及H7404细胞的杀伤活性。结果发现,高浓度TF(0.25u/ml)可抑制LAK活性,TF进一步稀释(0.125u/ml)可使其抑制作用消失。TF和抗肿瘤iRNA不能进一步提高最适剂量rIL-2(500u/ml)诱导的LAK活性,但能显著增强亚适剂量rIL-2(200u/ml)诱导的LAK活性,诱导LAK活性增高的TF最适剂量为0.031u/ml。TF或抗肿瘤iRNA单独不能诱导出LAK活性,而当两者联合应用可诱导PBMC产生LAK活性。本文为TF及抗肿瘤iRNA协同LAK细胞疗法在临床应用提供实验基础。 相似文献

A new, high-efficiency method for transformation of mammalian cells with nucleic acids is described which yields 105–106 plaques/g poliovirus infectious RNA (iRNA). The optimized procedure consists of two steps: (1) exposure of cells to iRNA in a high ionic-strength buffer followed by (2) a brief exposure to a 35% polyethylene glycol (PEG) solution. Optimized conditions for each variable in the procedure are described. Under optimized conditions for PEG-mediated transformation with RNA, large numbers of transformants are recovered with plasmid DNA as well. The procedure presented is similar to other high-efficiency PEG-mediated methods previously described for the genetic transformation of both nonprotoplasted Escherichia coliand yeast. 相似文献

Down-regulation of viral replication by adenoviral-mediated expression of siRNA against cellular cofactors for hepatitis C virus 总被引:9,自引:0,他引:9

Small interfering RNA (siRNA) is currently being evaluated not only as a powerful tool for functional genomics, but also as a potentially promising therapeutic agent for cancer and infectious diseases. Inhibitory effect of siRNA on viral replication has been demonstrated in multiple pathogenic viruses. However, because of the high sequence specificity of siRNA-mediated RNA degradation, antiviral efficacy of siRNA directed to viral genome will be largely limited by emergence of escape variants resistant to siRNA due to high mutation rates of virus, especially RNA viruses such as poliovirus and hepatitis C virus (HCV). To investigate the therapeutic feasibility of siRNAs specific for the putative cellular cofactors for HCV, we constructed adenovirus vectors expressing siRNAs against La, polypyrimidine tract-binding protein (PTB), subunit gamma of human eukaryotic initiation factors 2B (eIF2Bgamma), and human VAMP-associated protein of 33 kDa (hVAP-33). Adenoviral-mediated expression of siRNAs markedly diminished expression of the endogenous genes, and silencing of La, PTB, and hVAP-33 by siRNAs substantially blocked HCV replication in Huh-7 cells. Thus, our studies demonstrate the feasibility and potential of adenoviral-delivered siRNAs specific for cellular cofactors in combating HCV infection, which can be used either alone or in combination with siRNA against viral genome to prevent the escape of mutant variants and provide additive or synergistic anti-HCV effects. 相似文献

Tumor cells (over-) express specific antigens which allow them to be recognized and destroyed by the immune system. Triggering anti-tumor immunity in cancer patients by specific vaccination is foreseen as a safe and versatile method to control cancer. As a source of antigen, whole tumor cells, nucleic acids, proteins or derived peptides have been used. This review focuses on the utilization of vaccines based on plasmid DNA (pDNA) and messenger RNA (mRNA) coding for tumor associated antigens. Both vectors (pDNA and mRNA) are grouped under the designation "minimal nucleic acid vector" or MNAV. The current knowledge on anti-tumor vaccination based on MNAV-encoded tumor antigens, methods of delivery, principles of production and optimization is discussed. Furthermore, an up-to-date summary of published clinical trials using MNAV for the vaccination against solid tumors is given. Recent preclinical and early phase clinical trials demonstrate promising synergies between vaccination and other treatments such as chemotherapy or non-specific immune enhancement regimens. Combining optimized MNAV formulations and parallel adjuvant treatments could allow to turn MNAV-based vaccines into efficient anti-tumor immunotherapies in humans. 相似文献

The transient delivery of gene products (RNA or proteins) is not a biotechnological invention but rather an evolutionarily conserved process underlying and regulating a variety of biological functions. On the basis of insights into the underlying mechanisms, several viral and cell-based approaches have been developed for the delivery of RNA or proteins. Prominent applications include the induction of major biological or therapeutic effects on the basis of "hit-and-run" mechanisms, such as vaccination, cell fate modification (reprogramming, differentiation), control of cell trafficking, enhancement of cell regeneration, and genome engineering using sequence-specific recombinases or nucleases. Ideally, procedures for delivery of RNA or proteins should be targeted to specific cells, overcome biophysical hurdles without harming cellular integrity, circumvent the various alarm signals of the innate immune system, allow dose-controlled delivery of functional biomacromolecules, and avoid the induction of an adaptive immune response. Here we review the current state of approaches for the delivery of mRNA and proteins with a focus on RNA viruses, virus-like particles including retrovirus particle-mediated transfer of mRNA or proteins, extracellular vesicles, and cell-penetrating peptides. The basic concepts and recent advances are put into perspective in the context of potential limitations of the technologies and strategies to overcome cellular barriers and defense mechanisms. 相似文献

It has recently become apparent that certain small interfering RNA (siRNA) sequences stimulate the innate immunity through endosomal Toll-like receptors (TLR), particularly TLR7 and TLR8. However, it remains unclear whether siRNA duplexes act as specific ligands for these receptors. To address this question and to overcome the problem of immune activation by siRNA, several RNA sequences were chemically synthesized and their effects were investigated. Results indicate that human peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMC) recognize and respond to a large number of sense or antisense single-stranded (ss) siRNA. In most cases immunostimulatory RNA motifs are more effectively recognized by innate immunity in the context of ss siRNA as compared to siRNA duplexes. Novel immunostimulatory RNA motifs were identified and their replacement with adenosines abrogated immune activation. Most notably, replacement of the 2'-hydroxyl uridines with either 2'-fluoro, 2'-deoxy or 2'-O-methyl uridines abrogated immune activation. Thus, immune recognition of RNA by TLR can be evaded by 2'-ribose modifications of only uridines. Collectively, the data should facilitate the development of siRNA therapeutics and expand the understanding of how RNA is sensed by innate immunity. 相似文献

RISH considers that cell surface components involved in like cell identification are not involved in the structure of the plasma membrane per se and are attached to a part of their mRNA. The mRNA then acts as a template for the synthesis of DNA. Thus the component at the cell surface is attached to an RNA/DNA receptor. If there is a conformational change in the component (antigen) this will cause a distortion in its RNA/DNA receptor. This distortion is then detected by a tissue specific T lymphocyte which removes all or part of the RNA/DNA receptor from the aberrant cell and the lymphocyte then undergoes replication. During this process receptor RNA/DNA is incorporated into the daughter lymphocyte which becomes a B lymphocyte/plasma cell producing immunoglobulin. The initial tissue specific T lymphocyte becomes a dual functional helper/suppressor cell. The plasma cell after the initial immune response becomes a circulating memory B cell displaying IgM or IgD. If this cell complexes an antigen with its surface IgM or IgD a humoral immune response will be developed as previously described, but in this case the antibodies produced will be anti-idiotypic antibodies. The anti-idiotypic antibodies will regulate the production of the antibody directed against the antigen per se. The anti-idiotypic antibodies will in turn be regulated by a second anti-idiotypic antibody. In RISH five such anti-idiotypic systems may be involved in regulating the immune response to the initial non-immunoglobulin antigen. Based on the RISH anti-idiotypic mechanism a system is briefly described whereby human memory B cells, to a particular antigen, may be isolated. These B cells may then be activated to secrete immunoglobulin with autologous isolated anti-idiotypic antibodies. These activated cells may then be infected with E.B. virus to establish an immortal cell line of B cells secreting the immunoglobulin of interest. 相似文献

Summary: Suppression of viral infection by RNA in a nucleotide sequence homology-dependent manner was first reported in plants in early 1990s. Studies in the past 15 years have established a completely new RNA-based immune system against viruses that is mechanistically related to RNA silencing or RNA interference (RNAi). This viral immunity begins with recognition of viral double-stranded or structured RNA by the Dicer nuclease family of host immune receptors. In fungi, plants and invertebrates, the viral RNA trigger is processed into small interfering RNAs (siRNAs) to direct specific silencing of the homologous viral genomic and/or messenger RNAs by an RNaseH-like Argonaute protein. Deep sequencing of virus-derived siRNAs indicates that the immunity against viruses with a positive-strand RNA genome is induced by Dicer recognition of dsRNA formed during the initiation of viral progeny (+)RNA synthesis. The RNA-based immune pathway in these organisms overlaps the canonical dsRNA-siRNA pathway of RNAi and may require amplification of viral siRNAs by host RNA-dependent RNA polymerase in plants and nematodes. Production of virus-derived small RNAs is undetectable in mammalian cells infected with RNA viruses. However, infection of mammals with several nucleus-replicating DNA viruses induces production of virus-derived microRNAs capable of silencing host and viral mRNAs as found for viral siRNAs. Remarkably, recent studies indicate that prokaryotes also produce virus-derived small RNAs known as CRISPR RNAs to guide antiviral defense in a manner that has yet to be defined. In this article, we review the recent progress on the identification and mechanism of the key components including viral sensors, viral triggers, effectors, and amplifiers, of the small RNA-directed viral immunity. We also highlight some of the many unresolved questions. 相似文献

In vivo application of RNA leads to induction of specific cytotoxic T lymphocytes and antibodies 总被引:6,自引:0,他引:6
To study the efficiency of RNA-based vaccines, RNA coding for the model antigen beta-galactosidase (beta-gal) was transcribed in vitro from a lacZ gene flanked by stabilizing Xenopus laevis beta-globin 5' and 3' sequences and was protected from RNase degradation by condensation with the polycationic peptide protamine. The liposome-encapsulated condensed RNA-peptide complex, the condensed RNA-peptide complex without liposome or naked, unprotected RNA, was injected into BALB/c (H-2(d)) mice. All preparations led to protein expression in the local tissue, activation of L(d)-restricted specific cytotoxic T lymphocytes (CTL) and production of IgG antibodies reactive against beta-gal. RNA-triggered CTL were as efficient in the lysis of lacZ-transfected target cells as CTL triggered by a lacZ-DNA eukaryotic expression vector. Immunization with RNA transcribed from a cDNA library from the beta-gal-expressing cell line P13.1 again led to beta-gal-specific CTL and IgG induction. Thus, both naked and protected RNA can be used to elicit a specific immune response in vivo, whereby the protected RNA is stable in vitro for a longer period of time. RNA vaccines can be produced in high amounts and have the same major advantages as DNA vaccines but lack the potentially harmful effect of DNA integration into the genome. 相似文献
