β-1,4-Galactosyltransferase-I (β-1,4-GalT-I) which is one of the best-studied glycosyltransferases, plays a key role in the
synthesis of selectin ligands such as sialy Lewis (sLe
x
) and sulfated sLe
x
. Previous studies showed that inflammatory responses of β-1,4-GalT-I-deficient mice were impaired because of the defect in
selectin-ligand biosynthesis. However, the expression of β-1,4-GalT-I during inflammation and its biological function remains
to be elucidated. Real-time PCR showed that intraperitoneal administration of LPS strongly induced β-1,4-GalT-I mRNA expression
in the lung, heart, liver, spleen, kidney, lymph node, hippocampus, and testis, as well as in the cerebral cortex. In the
rat lung, liver and testis, LPS stimulation of β-1,4-GalT-I mRNA expression is time-dependent and biphasic. Lectin-fluorescent
staining with RCA-I showed that LPS induced expression of galactose-containing glycans in rat lung and liver to the higher
lever. Morphology analysis observed that galactose-containing glycans and β-1,4-GalT-I mRNA was mostly expressed in neutrophils,
macrophages and endothelial cells. These findings indicated that β-1,4-GalT-I may play an important role in the inflammation
reaction. 相似文献

β4 Galactosylation of glycoproteins is one of the most important post-translational modifications. Recent studies have demonstrated
that aberrant galactosylation associates with some inflammation diseases. β-1,4-galactosyltransferase-I (β-1,4-GalT-I), which
transfers galactose to the terminal N-acetylglucosamine of N- and O-linked glycans in a β-1,4- linkage, considered to be the major galactosyltransferse among the seven members of the subfamily
responsible for β4 galactosylation. In the present study, we investigated the expression of β-1,4-GalT-I in Schwann cells
under Lipopolysaccharide (LPS) treatment. RT-PCR revealed that the β-1,4-GalT-I mRNA was significant increased as early as
2 h after LPS stimulation. Immunofluorescence showed that β-1,4-GalT-I was located in Golgi apparatus and membrane of Schwann
cells. With the 1 μg/ml LPS treatment, expression levels of β-1,4-GalT-I was much higher compared with control group. In addition,
lectin blot indicated that the β4 galactosylation of glycoproteins such as integrin α5 was enhanced, which may due to the
induced β-1,4-GalT-I expression. These results suggested that β-1,4-GalT-I may play an important role in adhesion and migration
of Schwann cells during inflammation. 相似文献

ENOLASE enzymes are abundantly expressed, cytosolic carbon–oxygen lyases known for their role in glucose metabolism. Recent accumulation of evidence revealed that, in addition to its glycolytic function, enolase is also associated with ischemia, hypoxia and to be a neurotrophic factor. To analysis the certain expression and biological function in central nervous system, we performed an acute spinal cord contusion injury model in adult rats. Western blot analysis indicated a marked upregulation of ENOLASE after spinal cord injury (SCI). Immunohistochemistry revealed wide distribution of enolase in spinal cord, including neurons and glial cells. Double immunofluorescent staining for proliferating cell nuclear antigen and phenotype-specific markers showed increases of enolase expression in proliferating microglia and astrocytes. Our data suggest that enolase may be implicated in the proliferation of microglia and astrocytes after SCI. 相似文献

BACKGROUND: Electroacupuncture has promoting effects on the functional recovery of the injured spinal cord, can decrease pain, and elevate postoperative effect after acute spinal cord contusion.
OBJECTIVE: To observe the effect of electroacupuncture on apoptosis in the injured site after spinal cord contusion, and analyze its neuroprotective effects on neurological function in rats with spinal cord contusion.
METHODS: A total of 66 adult female Sprague-Dawley rats were randomly divided into: sham surgery group (n=20), spinal cord contusion group (n=20), electroacupuncture stimulation group (n=20) because six rats were excluded due to modeling failure and death. Before model establishment, at 1, 3 days, 1, 2, 3 and 4 weeks after model establishment, motor functions were evaluated by BBB score and the inclined plate test. At 3 days after model establishment, apoptosis of nerve cells could be detected in the site of injury in each experimental group using TUNEL assay. mRNA and protein expression of bax, bcl-2 and caspase-3 was detected surrounding the injury site using RT-PCR and western blot assay. Morphological changes in the site of injury could be observed using hematoxylin-eosin staining. The regeneration of nerve fibers was observed using HRP tracing.
RESULTS AND CONCLUSION: (1) Motor function score was significantly increased at various time points in the 2nd week of treatment in the electroacupuncture stimulation group than in the spinal cord contusion group (P < 0.05). (2) Apoptotic index was significantly lower in the electroacupuncture stimulation group than in the spinal cord contusion group at 3 days after model establishment (P < 0.05). (3) mRNA and protein expression of bax and caspase-3 was significantly lower in the electroacupuncture stimulation group than in the spinal cord contusion group at 72 hours (P < 0.05); bcl-2 gene and protein expression was significantly higher (P < 0.05). (4) The number of HRP-positive nerve fibers was highest in the sham surgery group, followed by electroacupuncture stimulation group, and lowest in the spinal cord contusion group at 4 weeks (P < 0.05). Results indicated that electroacupuncture plays a protective role on the spinal cord contusion by reducing apoptosis of nerve cells at the site of injury. 相似文献

β1,4-Galactosyltransferase-I (β1,4-GalT-I), which transfers galactose to the terminal N-acetylglucosamine of N- and O-linked
glycans in a β1,4-linkage, is considered to be the major galactosyltransferase among the seven members of the subfamily responsible
for β4 galactosylation. We previously reported, for the first time, that β1,4-GalT-I may play an important role in the inflammatory
processes in synovial tissue of patients with rheumatoid arthritis (RA). In this study, we analyzed whether β1,4-GalT-I expression
correlates with the expression of tumor necrosis factor-α (TNF-α) in RA. We show firstly the overexpression and co-localization
of β1,4-GalT-I and TNF-α in synovial tissue of RA patients. Then, lipopolysaccharide (LPS) induces β1,4-GalT-I mRNA up-regulation
in fibroblast-like synoviocytes (FLSs) through endogenous TNF-α overexpression. In addition, we observed that not only endogenous
TNF-α but also exogenous TNF-α induced β1,4-GalT-I mRNA production in FLSs, and TNF-α-knockdown reverses the up-regulation
of β1,4-GalT-I in FLSs induced by LPS or TNF-α. These results suggest that TNF-α contributes to the up-regulation of β1,4-GalT-I
mRNA in human FLSs. 相似文献

Spinal cord injury (SCI) is an incapacitating injury that can result in limited functional recovery. We have previously shown increases in the lysophospholipid mediator, sphingosine-1-phosphate (S1P), in the spinal cord after contusion injury. To apply S1P receptor modulation to the treatment of SCI, we examined the therapeutic effects of FTY720, an S1P receptor agonist, on locomotor recovery after SCI in mice. Oral administration of FTY720 shortly after contusion SCI significantly improved motor function recovery, as assessed by both Basso Mouse Scale scores and Rotarod Performance test results. FTY720 induced lymphopenia and reduced T-cell infiltration in the spinal cord after SCI but did not affect the early infiltration of neutrophils and the activation of microglia. In addition, plasma levels and mRNA expression of inflammatory cytokines in the spinal cord after SCI were not attenuated by FTY720. Vascular permeability and astrocyte accumulation were both decreased by FTY720 in the injured spinal cord. The therapeutic effects of FTY720 were not solely dependent on immune modulation, as confirmed by the demonstration that FTY720 also ameliorated motor function after SCI in mice with severe combined immunodeficiency. Finally, the S1P(1) receptor agonist, SEW2871, partly mimicked the therapeutic effect of FTY720. Our data highlight the importance of immune-independent functions of FTY720 in decreasing vascular permeability and astrogliosis in the injured spinal cord and promoting locomotor function recovery after SCI. 相似文献

Glial cells are mediating the main activation of the central nervous system (CNS), being astrocytes the mayor glial cells in the brain. Glial activation may result beneficial since it could promote tissue repair and pathogen elimination. However, excessive glial activation mechanism can also have do harm to the tissue. β-1,4-Galactosyltransferase I (β-1,4-GalT-I) is a key inflammatory mediator that participates in the initiation and maintenance of inflammatory reaction in some diseases. Moreover, CDK11(p58) has been reported to be associated with β-1,4-GalT-I. We have found that CDK11(p58) and β-1,4-GalT-I are induced in lipopolysaccharide (LPS)-challenged rat primary astrocytes in a affinis dose- and time-dependent manner. CDK11(p58) regulates the expression of β-1,4-GalT-I by interacting with it. After the knockdown of CDK11(p58) expression, the expression of β-1,4-GalT-I decreases, and astrocyte activation downregulates. Inversely, the expression of β-1,4-GalT-I increases, and astrocyte activation enhances due to the overexpression of CDK11(p58). Knockdown of β-1,4-GalT-I reduces the activation potentiation caused by the overexpression of CDK11(p58), illustrating the function of CDK11(p58) to promote astrocyte activation depends on β-1,4-GalT-I. The interaction between CDK11(p58) and β-1,4-GalT-I to upregulate astrocyte activation is related to activating p38 and JNK pathways. These findings indicated that the functional interaction between CDK11(p58) and β-1,4-GalT-I may play an important role during astrocyte activation after LPS administration. 相似文献

Beta-1,4-galactosyltransferase I (β-1,4-GalT-I) mediates several biological mechanisms as a key enzyme in glycobiology, but the role of β-1,4-GalT-I in immune system remains unclear. We conducted experiments to investigate whether β-1,4-GalT-I is participating in the activation of Jurkat T cell and intercellular contacts formed by co-incubation of Jurkat and Raji cells in the presence of the superantigen staphylococcal enterotoxin B (SEB). Jurkat cells were also activated by CD3/CD28 co-stimulation in order to examine the expression pattern and cellular distribution of β-1,4-GalT-I upon stimulation. Here we found that β-1,4-GalT-I expression was enhanced and rearranged on the cell surface of activated Jurkat cells. Further, immunofluorescence staining assays revealed that β-1,4-GalT-I co-aggregated with CD3 and CD28 molecules in the junction sides of Jurkat and SEB pulsed Raji cells. Our study also showed that silencing of β-1,4-GalT-I inhibited Jurkat activated Raji cell conjugations and reduced the proliferation rate of activated Jurkat cells. Our data provide evidence that β-1,4-GalT-I plays a role in activation of Jurkat T lymphocytes and participates in intercellular contact formation. 相似文献

We examined the spatial and temporal expression patterns of active p38 mitogen-activated protein kinase (MAPK), an important regulator of immune cell function, following spinal cord injury (SCI). We further assessed whether administration of SB203580, an inhibitor of p38 MAPK activity, would reduce inflammation, improve tissue sparing, and improve functional outcome after SCI. Adult Wistar rats were subjected to a T9/10 SCI contusion of moderate severity and killed at several time points after injury, whereas sham-injured (control) animals only received a laminectomy. In control animals, active p38 MAPK expression was primarily localized to resting microglia within the spinal cord. Over the first 24 h after SCI, a continuing increase in active p38 MAPK expression was evident in neutrophils and activated microglia (OX42+) surrounding the spinal lesion site. At 15 days post-injury, active p38 MAPK was localized to macrophages (ED1+) that now dominated the lesion site. In addition, active p38 MAPK was localized to macrophages within white matter fiber tracts undergoing degeneration, several segments rostral and caudal to the injury site, which persisted for at least 6 weeks. Overall, our results demonstrate that active p38 MAPK is increased within resident and invading immune cells after SCI contusion injury and, therefore, may be an important target to regulate the inflammatory cascade after SCI. However, intrathecal application of SB203580 failed to improve functional outcome after a moderate SCI contusion. 相似文献

Embryo implantation is regarded as a critical physiological process for the success of pregnancy. There are so many reports on the research of human chorionic gonadotropin (HCG) in artificial insemination, but the impact of HCG on endometrial receptivity has not been elucidated. Beta1, 4-Galactosyltransferase-I (β1,4-GalT-I) is ubiquitously expresses in human tissues with the exception of the brain. It not only transfers galactose from UDP-galactoside to GlcNAc to form Galβl,4-GlcNAc, but plays crucial role as cell adhesion molecule by recognizing and adhering other extracellular matrix and galactose of cell surface glycoprotein and glycolipid in cancer cells invasion and migration. The process of the embryos implantation is very similar to tumor invasion, so many biological factors participate in the tumor invasion also play a role in embryo implantation. We hypothesize that β1,4-GalT-I may take part in embryo implantation. In this study, we demonstrated that the over expression of β1,4-GalT-I was induced by HCG in RL95-2 cells. Moreover, the expression of some molecules, such as TIMP-1, LN and MMPs could be regulated by engineered expression of β1,4-GalT-I and therefore lead to the significantly alteration of adhesion capability of RL95-2 cells, even result in reduced adhesive ability between JAR cells and RL95-2 cells. Furthermore, our results indicated that HCG can obviously increase the EGFR signaling pathways-dependent molecular expression through β1,4-GalT-I, HCG also improved the adhesive ability between JAR cells and RL95-2 cells (P < 0.01). Taken together, our data suggested that HCG provides a mechanism to bridge embryo to endometrium through β1,4-GalT. 相似文献

β1,4-galactosyltransferase-I (β1,4-GalT-I), which is one of the best-studied glycosyltransferases, plays a key role in the synthesis of selectin ligands
such as sialyl Lewis (sLex) and sulfated sLex. Previous studies showed that inflammatory responses of β1,4-GalT-I-deficient mice were impaired because of the defect in selectin-ligand biosynthesis. However, the expression of
β1,4-GalT-I and its biological function in rheumatoid arthritis (RA) remain to be elucidated. The mRNA and protein expression
of β1,4-GalT-I increased in synovial tissue of the RA group compared with the Normal group at 10d and 15d after collagen-induced.
Double staining indicated β1,4-GalT-I overlapped with macrophage-like synoviocytes (MLSs), fibroblast-like synoviocytes (FLSs), neutrophils and tumor
necrosis factor-α (TNF-α). Moreover, β1,4-GalT-I mRNA in FLSs in vitro was affected in a dose- and time-dependent manner in response to TNF-α stimulation. ELISA
revealed that expression of TNF-α was attenuated in FLSs in vitro treated with β1,4-GalT-I-Ab. We therefore suggest that β1,4-GalT-I may play an important role in the inflammation process of RA synovial tissue, which would provide the foundation
for further researching into the concrete mechanism of β1,4-GalT-I in RA. 相似文献

Following the initial impact, spinal cord injury (SCI) triggers a number of inflammatory responses which can exacerbate tissue damage in the cord and impair functional recovery. The involvement of several pro-inflammatory cytokines in the secondary degenerative mechanisms of SCI has been well established, although the role of interleukin-17 (IL-17) remains unclear. In the present study, we used IL-17 knockout (KO) and C57BL/6J wildtype (WT) mice to investigate the effects of IL-17 deficiency on locomotor recovery, lesion size, glial activation and inflammatory cell response following spinal cord contusion injury. Our results show that compared to WT mice, IL-17 KO mice had a significantly smaller lesion size, corresponding with significantly improved locomotor functional recovery following SCI. At 6 weeks after injury, recruitment of B cells, dendritic cells and neutrophils was significantly lower in IL-17 KO than WT mice, however there was no difference in the presence of activated microglia and reactive astrocytes, in the injured spinal cord. These findings suggest that IL-17 is a mediator of secondary degeneration, which contributes to neuroinflammation and hinders functional recovery, though its actions do not affect glial activation following SCI. 相似文献
