RNA interference (RNAi) using short inhibitory RNAs (siRNAs) has been widely explored for the suppression of cellular mRNA levels to investigate the function of specific genes, including gene function in differentiation and development. The establishment of human embryonic stem cell (hESC) models for differentiation of selected lineages is an area of intense interest and activity. On the basis of our previous work with stable overexpression of enhanced green fluorescent protein (EGFP) in hESC, we used plasmid vector-based siRNA expression to silence EGFP expression in stably-transfected hESC. After hygromycin selection, we derived several cell lines in which EGFP expression was significantly reduced. At the genomic DNA level, there was no difference between the two cell lines and the parental H1EGFP cell line when analyzed with quantitative PCR; however, there were significant differences among the three cell lines at the RNA and protein levels as analyzed with real-time RT-PCR and Western blotting. From these data, we conclude that the decrease in EGFP expression was caused by RNAi, not by genomic DNA loss. Down-regulation of EGFP expression was sustained through multiple passages of both siEGFP cell lines. This simple silencing system will allow novel investigations of target gene function in hESC self-renewal or differentiation, as well as differentiated function in other cell types.  相似文献

We have developed a polymer nanoparticle-based siRNA delivery system that exploits a cell surface binding synergism between targeting ligands and cell-penetrating peptides. Nanoparticles were coated with folate and penetratin via a PEGylated phospholipid linker (DSPE-PEG): the combination of both of these ligands represents a strategy for enhancing intracellular delivery of attached polymer nanoparticles. Nanoparticles were characterized for size, morphology, density of surface modification, and ligand association and retention. The surface coverage achieved on DSPE-PEG-coated nanoparticles is as high as (or higher than) obtained with other ligand-modified nano-scale particulate systems (~0.5-5 pmol ligand/cm2). Additionally, these nanoparticles were loaded with a high density of siRNA (~130-140 pmol siRNA/mg nanoparticles), which is slowly released upon incubation in water. Synergies between the activity of surface binding and cell internalizing ligands on these siRNA-loaded nanoparticles impart delivery enhancements that improve their gene silencing efficacy both in culture and in tumor models. Traditionally, targeting ligands function by binding to cell surface receptors, while cell-penetrating peptides function by nonspecifically transporting across cell membranes. Interestingly, we have observed that improved delivery of these dual-functionalized nanoparticles was in part, a result of increased cell surface avidity afforded by both ligands. This siRNA delivery system presents an approach to surface modification of nanovehicles, in which multiple ligands function in parallel to enhance cell binding and uptake.  相似文献

Bloom syndrome (BS) is a rare autosomal recessive genetic disorder characterized by growth deficiency, unusual facies, sun-sensitive telangiectatic erythema, immunodeficiency and predisposition to cancer. The causative gene for BS is the BLM gene which encodes the BLM RecQ helicase protein. The BLM gene has 4437 bp and encodes 1417 amino acids. The detection of BLM gene mutations for laboratory diagnosis of BS is laborious and impractical, unless there are common mutations in a population. Here we describe the immunoblot and immunohistochemical analyses for the detection of the BLM protein using a polyclonal BLM antibody. The BLM gene and protein were consistently and clearly detected in Epstein-Barr virus (EBV)-transformed or phytohemagglutinin (PHA)-stimulated lymphoblasts from control and various human hematopoietic cell lines. In a 7-week old human fetal brain, the BLM gene expression was strongly detected in contrast to an adult human brain. The BLM protein was not detected in EBV-transformed lymphoblasts from three BS patients. By immunohistochemistry, nuclear dots of the BLM protein were detected in both EBV-transformed lymphoblasts and PHA-stimulated lymphoblasts from the control. However, in lymphoblasts from BS patients no nuclear dots of the BLM protein were detected. These results indicate that the combinational analysis of immunoblotting and immunohistochemistry is a useful approach to screening of BS, although a mutation analysis is necessary for a definitive diagnosis of BS.  相似文献

Human embryonic stem (ES) cells are pluripotent cells derived from blastocyst-stage embryos. It has been suggested that these cells should play a major role in transplantation medicine and be able to advance our knowledge in human embryology. We propose that these cells should also play a vital role in the creation of models of human disorders. This aspect would be most valuable where animal models failed to faithfully recapitulate the human phenotype. Lesch-Nyhan disease is caused by a mutation in the HPRT1 gene that triggers an overproduction of uric acid, causing gout-like symptoms and urinary stones, in addition to neurological disorders. Due to biochemical differences between humans and rodents, a mouse lacking the HPRT expression will fail to accumulate uric acid. In this research we demonstrate a model for Lesch-Nyhan disease by mutating the HPRT1 gene in human ES cells using homologous recombination. We have verified the mutation in the HPRT1 allele at the DNA and RNA levels. By using selection media, we show that HPRT1 activity is abolished in the mutant cells, and the HPRT1-cells show a higher rate of uric acid accumulation than the wild-type cells. Therefore, these cells recapitulate to some extent the characteristics of Lesch-Nyhan syndrome and can help researchers further investigate this genetic disease and analyze drugs that will prevent the onset of its symptoms. We therefore suggest that human diseases may be modeled using human ES cells.  相似文献

We synthesized a non-viral delivery system (f-CNH3) for small interfering RNA (siRNA) by anchoring a fourth-generation polyamidoamine dendrimer (G4-PAMAM) to carbon nanohorns (CNHs). Using this new compound, we delivered a specific siRNA designed to knockdown cofilin-1, a key protein in the regulation of cellular cytoskeleton, to human prostate cancer (PCa) cells. The carbon nanohorn (CNH) derivative was able to bind siRNA and release it in the presence of an excess of the polyanion heparin. Moreover, this hybrid nanomaterial protected the siRNA from RNAse-mediated degradation. Synthetic siRNA delivered to PCa cells by f-CNH3 decreased the cofilin-1 mRNA and protein levels to about 20% of control values. Docetaxel, the drug of choice for the treatment of PCa, produced a concentration-dependent activation of caspase-3, an increase in cell death assessed by lactate dehydrogenase release to the culture medium, cell cycle arrest and inhibition of tumor cell proliferation. All of these toxic effects were potentiated when cofilin-1 was down regulated in these cells by a siRNA delivered by the nanoparticle. This suggests that knocking down certain proteins involved in cancer cell survival and/or proliferation may potentiate the cytotoxic actions of anticancer drugs and it might be a new therapeutic approach to treat tumors.  相似文献

Bloom syndrome (BS) is a rare autosomal recessive genetic disorder characterized by lupus-like erythematous facial telangiectasia, sun sensitivity, infertility, stunted growth and a high predisposition to various types of cancer. Chromosomal abnormalities are hallmarks of this disorder, and high frequencies of sister chromatid exchanges and quadriradial configurations in lymphocytes and fibroblasts are diagnostic features. BLM is the causative gene for BS. We investigated the mutation in the BLM gene in 4 Japanese BS kindreds. Taken together with previously documented mutations, 2 kindreds were homozygous for 631delCAA and 2 were compound heterozygous for 631delCAA. The silent mutation of A1055C (Thr to Thr) was detected in control Japanese individuals. The 6-bp deletion/7-bp insertion at position 2,281, which most Askenazi Jewish BS patients carry, was not detected in 200 Japanese alleles. These results suggest that 631delCAA is a relatively common mutation among the Japanese BS patients.  相似文献

We developed a simple system to introduce small interfering RNA (siRNA) into murine embryonic stem cells (ESCs) and then showed its stable and uniform expression. Using hypoxanthine guanine phosphoribosyl transferase 1 (Hprt)-deficient ESCs as a recipient, we efficiently introduced an siRNA expression cassette into the Hprt locus by homologous recombination, which was easily detected by HAT selection. Nearly all of the HAT-resistant clones exhibited a silenced expression of the exogenous target gene (enhanced green fluorescent protein [EGFP]) or the endogenous target gene (Flk1). Flow cytometry profiles demonstrated that there were no significant differences in level of suppression among individual clones and cells. The suppressing effect by siRNA was maintained for more than 1 month in both undifferentiated and differentiated ESCs, while its persistent expression did not disturb their growth or differentiation potential. The stable and uniform suppression capability of this system will help to screen genes and provide important information regarding cell differentiation in ESCs.  相似文献

There is increasing awareness of the effects of Porphyromonas gingivalis on host immune responses. Degradation of cytokines and chemokines by cysteine proteinases has previously been reported. However, the precise mechanisms by which P. gingivalis is able to alter intracellular signaling, and thus proliferation and inflammation, have not been described. We have previously reported suppression of activator protein-1 (AP-1) and degradation of IL-2 by proteinases from P. gingivalis. In the present study, we have analyzed the effects of P. gingivalis on Jurkat T-cell signal transduction and subsequent IL-2 and CXCL8 expression. We found that CXCL8, but not IL-2, gene expression levels were significantly suppressed by viable P. gingivalis. Analysis of intracellular signaling revealed an inhibitory effect of P. gingivalis on c-Jun and c-Fos, but not NFκB (p50 and p65), NFAT or STAT5 expression. This inhibitory effect was not due to suppression of mitogen-activated protein kinase (MAPK) (p38, erk and JNK) gene expression, but was rather due to prevention of protein kinase C (PKC) and p38 phosphorylation, as demonstrated by western blot analysis. Furthermore, SOCS1 and SOCS3 expression levels decreased following treatment of Jurkat T cells with viable P. gingivalis. The results indicate that P. gingivalis is able to suppress inflammatory gene expression by targeting the activity of MAPK pathways in T cells, which was confirmed by using specific inhibitors of NF-κB, PKC, ERK, p38 and JNK.  相似文献

Dendritic cells (DCs) are bone marrow-originated, professional antigen-capturing cells and APCs, which can function as vaccine carriers. Although efficient transfection of human DCs has been achieved with viral vectors, viral gene products may influence cellular functions. In contrast, nonviral methods have generally resulted in inefficient gene transfer, low levels of gene expression, and/or low cell viability. Monocyte-derived DCs are the most common source of DCs for in vitro studies and for in vivo applications. We hypothesized that reduction of the time to generate immature DCs (iDCs) might result in higher viability after transfection. Therefore, we established a protocol to generate human iDCs from CD14(+) monocytes within 3 days. These "fast" iDCs were phenotypically and functionally indistinguishable from conventional iDCs, showing high endocytic ability and low antigen-presenting capacity. Furthermore, the fast iDCs matured normally and had similar antigen-presenting capacity to conventional mature DCs. To optimize transfection of iDCs, we compared nonviral transfection of plasmid DNA and in vitro-transcribed (IVT) RNA with transfection reagents, electroporation, and nucleofection. Nucleofection of IVT RNA with the X1 program of an Amaxa Co. Nucleofector resulted in the most efficient transfection, with an average of 93% transfected iDCs, excellent long-term viability, and strong protein expression. Furthermore, the IVT RNA-transfected iDCs retained all phenotypic and functional characteristics of iDCs. This method is applicable to most purposes, including in vitro functional assays, in vivo DC immunotherapy, and DC-based vaccines.  相似文献
