Due to its non-pathogenic lifecycle, little is known about the cellular determinants of infection by adeno-associated virus (AAV). To identify these critical cellular factors, we took advantage of the gene transfer abilities of AAV in combination with a forward genetic selection to identify proteins critical for transduction by this virus. AAV serotype 5 (AAV5) vectors encoding the furin gene were used to transduce furin-deficient cells followed by selection with furin-dependent toxins. A population of cells specifically resistant to AAV5 transduction was identified and sequence analysis suggested all had a single amino acid mutation in the leader sequence of the platelet-derived growth factor receptor alpha (PDGFRα) gene. Characterization of this mutation suggested it inhibited PDGFRα trafficking resulting in limited expression on the plasma membrane. Mutagenesis and transfection experiments confirmed the effect of this mutation on PDGFRα trafficking, and the AAV5 resistant phenotype could be rescued by transfection with wild type PDGFRα. 相似文献

Cell-penetrating peptide (CPP)-based delivery systems represent a strategy that facilitates DNA import efficiently and non-specifically into cells. To introduce specificity, we devised an approach that combines a cell-penetrating peptide, TAT-Mu (TM) and a targeting ligand, an HER2 antibody mimetic-affibody (AF), designated as TMAF to deliver nucleic acids into the cells. In this study, we synthesized TMAF protein and its truncated versions, i.e. MAF and AF, by expressing the corresponding plasmids in Escherichia coli BL21(DE3)pLysS cells. Purified TMAF binds DNA efficiently and protects plasmid DNA from DNaseI action. Transfection of HER2+ breast cancer cell lines MDA-MB-453, SK-OV-3, SK-BR-3 and an ovarian cancer cell line with plasmid DNA pCMVβ-gal, resulted in enhanced β-galactosidase activity when compared to control MDA-MB-231 cells. Maximal activity observed in MDA-MB-453 cells at DNA:TMAF:Protamine sulphate (PS) corresponding to 1:8:2 charge ratios. Further the observed gene transfection was resistant to serum, sensitive to the presence of free AF and non-toxic. Variants of TMAF although non-toxic, were far less efficient indicating the effective role of the TAT and Mu domains. The observed DNA uptake and reporter gene activity mediated by TMAFin vitro could be linked with the cell-surface density of tyrosine kinase receptor HER2 (ErbB2) levels estimated by Western blot. Further, we confirmed the efficacy of DNA transfer by TMAF protein in xenograft mouse models using MDA-MB-453 cells. Expression of β-galactosidase as the reporter gene, upon intratumoral injection of DNA, in complex with TMAF, lends credence to specific DNA import and distribution within the tumor tissue that was attributed to high HER2 receptor overexpression in MDA-MB-453 cells. Through delivery of anti-TF hshRNA: TMAF: PS complex, we demonstrate specific knockdown of tissue factor (TF) in MDA-MB-453 cells in vitro. Most importantly, in a xenograft mouse model, we observe significant (P < 0.05) and specific reduction of tumor volume when anti-TF hshRNA: TMAF: PS complex was injected intratumorally. Collectively our data indicate that AF-based chimeric peptides with nucleic acid binding properties may provide an effective tumor specific strategy to deliver therapeutic nucleic acids. 相似文献

Activated eosinophils are believed to be major contributors to the chronic inflammatory sequelae of asthma, but the details of the mechanism of eosinophil activation in vivo are unknown. In our search for physiologically important modes of eosinophil activation, we studied the effects of recombinant human platelet-derived growth factor (PDGF) on human peripheral blood eosinophils. We compared two activation end-points: secretion of granule contents, exemplified by the release of eosinophil peroxidase (EPO), and eosinophil-derived neurotoxin (EDN), and the generation of active oxygen metabolites (O2- production). PDGFc-sis dose dependently stimulated the secretion of large amounts of EPO and EDN from eosinophils. Higher concentrations of PDGF induced a dose-dependent O2- production, especially if the cells were first primed with low concentrations of phorbol ester. These activities were not seen with the AA homodimer of PDGF, suggesting that the activation was receptor dependent. However, several attempts to directly demonstrate the existence of such receptors were unsuccessful. The magnitude of the secretory response to PDGF, and the realization that eosinophils could be easily exposed to this substance as they travel towards the lung, suggests the possibility that this growth factor may be a physiologically important activator of eosinophils in the pulmonary inflammation which is associated with asthma. 相似文献

Extrachromosomal amplification of the epidermal growth factor receptor gene in a human colon carcinoma cell line 总被引:2,自引:0,他引:2

In situ hybridization, using a biotinylated cDNA probe for the epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) gene, indicates that the amplified EGFR genes in the colon tumor cell line, DiFi, are localized in many small double minute chromosomes (dmin) of varying size and visibility. Analysis of the electrophoretic mobility of gamma-irradiated DNA from DiFi by pulsed-field gel electrophoresis and Southern blot hybridization using EGFR probe, indicates that the amplified EGFR in DiFi exists in extrachromosomal, covalently closed circular episomes, presumably equivalent to dmin. Two major and one minor species were observed which had estimated sizes of 650, 1,300, and 2,000 kb, respectively. The DiFi cell line appears to represent a unique case of extrachromosomal EGFR gene amplification in human cells. 相似文献

Epidermal growth factor receptor expression in human pancreatic cancer: Significance for liver metastasis 总被引:4,自引:0,他引:4

Pancreatic cancer is a malignant tumor with an extremely poor prognosis. The mechanisms of the aggressive growth and metastasis are not yet extensively understood. Over-expression of epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) was suggested to be associated with malignant transformation of pancreatic cancer. We examined EGFR expression in 77 cases of invasive ductal adenocarcinoma of the pancreas, and analyzed the relation between the EGFR expression pattern and clinicopathological factors. EGFR immunoreactivity was detected in 41.6% (32/77) of human pancreatic cancers; i.e. diffuse expression in 32.5% (25/77) and focal expression in 9.1% (7/77). The EGFR expression was associated with gender (p<0.05), histological differentiation (p<0.05) and metastatic status of TNM classification (p<0.01). The observations suggested that EGFR expression plays important roles in metastasis, especially liver metastasis and recurrence of human pancreatic cancer. 相似文献

The transforming growth factor alpha (TGFalpha)/epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) signaling pathway appears to play a critical role in colon cancer progression, but the cellular and molecular mechanisms that contribute to metastasis remain unknown. KM12C colon cancer cell clones expressing high (C9) or negligible (C10) levels of TGFalpha were implanted into the cecal walls of nude mice. C9 tumors formed autocrine and paracrine EGFR networks, whereas C10 tumors were unable to signal through EGFR. The tumor microenvironment of C9, but not C10, contained cells enriched in vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) A, interleukin-8, and matrix metalloproteinases-2 and -9 and had a high vascular surface area. C9 tumors recruited a macrophage population that co-expressed F4/80 and lymphatic vessel endothelial hyaluronic acid receptor and produced VEGFC. The mean lymphatic density of C9 tumors was threefold higher than that of C10 tumors. C9, but not C10, tumor cells metastasized to regional lymph nodes in all mice and to the liver in 5 of 10 mice. Forced expression of TGFalpha in C10 tumor cells led to the generation of autocrine and paracrine EGFR signaling, macrophage recruitment, enhanced blood and lymphatic vascular surface areas, and increased lymphatic metastasis. Collectively, these data show that activation of TGFalpha-EGFR signaling in colon cancer cells creates a microenvironment that is conducive for metastasis, providing a rationale for efforts to inhibit EGFR signaling in TGFalpha-positive colon cancers. 相似文献

We quantified microvessel morphology and vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) expression in human colonic carcinoma with or without metastasis. The cancerous growth and the noncancerous section of surgical specimens from 36 patients with colorectal carcinoma (14 without metastasis and 22 with metastasis) were studied. Tissue slices immunostained with CD34 were processed for microvessel counts (per mm(2)), the mean diameter of microvessels (microm), and the mean spatial direction of microvessels (degree), defined by the angle between the longitudinal axis of microvessels and the direction perpendicular to the surface of the mucosa. Tissue slices immunostained with anti-VEGF antibody were processed for total epithelial cell counts (per mm(2)), VEGF-positive cell counts (per mm(2)), and VEGF-positive ratio (%). Carcinoma without metastasis had significantly larger microvessel counts (213 +/- 77, p < 0.01), larger microvessel diameter (7.99 +/- 1.77, p < 0.05), and larger spatial direction (47.2 +/- 8.3, p < 0.01) than normal tissue (144 +/- 49 for microvessel counts; 7.03 +/- 0.90 for microvessel diameter; 39.5 +/- 6.6 for spatial direction). Compared with carcinoma without metastasis, carcinoma with metastasis had a significantly larger microvessel diameter (9.75 +/- 2.65, p < 0.03) and lower microvessel counts (180 +/- 92, p = 0.51). Carcinoma without metastasis had a significantly larger VEGF-positive cell count (1276 +/- 805, p < 0.05) and larger VEGF-positive ratio (53.6 +/- 39.3, p < 0.05) than normal tissue (571 +/- 553 for VEGF-positive cell counts; 24.6 +/- 23.2 for VEGF-positive ratio). Carcinoma with metastasis had a significantly lower total cell count (1443 +/- 237, p < 0.001) and lower VEGF-positive cell count (716 +/- 463, p < 0.05) than carcinoma without metastasis. With tumor progression, microvessel diameter significantly increased and microvessel counts decreased, which can be in part explained by VEGF expression. The microvessel diameter seems to be the dominant parameter responsible for cancer cell intravasation as the first step of metastasis. 相似文献

Carcinoma ex pleomorphic adenoma is a rare salivary gland malignancy. It constitutes an important model for the study of carcinogenesis, as it can display the tumor in different stages of progression, from benign pleomorphic adenoma to frankly invasive carcinoma. Growth signaling pathways undergo continuous activation in human tumors, commonly as a consequence of the overexpression of ligands and receptors such as platelet-derived growth factor and platelet-derived growth factor receptor. Hydrogen peroxide is produced after platelet-derived growth factor receptor activation, and it is essential for the sequential phosphorylation cascade that drives cell proliferation and migration. By their ability to degrade hydrogen peroxide, peroxiredoxins are involved in growth factor signaling regulation and in the oxidative stress response. To verify the potential association of peroxiredoxin I, platelet-derived growth factor-A, and platelet-derived growth factor receptor-alpha with carcinoma ex pleomorphic adenoma progression, we investigated the expression of these molecules in carcinoma ex pleomorphic adenoma showing different degrees of invasion. The peroxiredoxin I, platelet-derived growth factor-A, and platelet-derived growth factor receptor-alpha proteins were present in remnant pleomorphic adenoma to only a small extent, but, collectively, they were highly expressed as soon as the malignant phenotype was achieved and remained at elevated concentrations during progression to the advanced stages of carcinoma ex pleomorphic adenoma. In addition, their locations overlapped significantly, strengthening their connection to this growth-signaling pathway. Our results indicate that carcinoma ex pleomorphic adenoma cells acquire at least 2 significant advantages relative to their normal counterparts: resistance to oxidative stress-induced apoptosis, conferred by high peroxiredoxin I concentrations, and sustained growth, reflecting platelet-derived growth factor-A and platelet-derived growth factor receptor-alpha overexpression. 相似文献

Most anal canal carcinomas (ACCs) are squamous cell carcinomas (SCCs). SCCs in other tumor sites strongly express epidermal growth factor receptors (EGFRs), the inhibition of which might result in favorable changes in tumor growth. A review of the published scientific literature reveals no information regarding the expression of EGFR in ACCs. Therefore, we obtained archived pathology samples from ACC biopsies and examined the frequency and level of expression of EGFR and other cell surface and cell cycle markers. The 21 samples studied universally and strongly expressed EGFR and were negative for HER-2. Clinical studies of EGFR inhibitors in advanced ACC are warranted. 相似文献

Monolayer cultures of human endothelial cells were incubated with pre- and postdelivery sera from five women with preeclampsia and four matched, normal pregnancies. Conditioned media collected from endothelial cells pretreated in vitro with prepartum sera from preeclamptic women contained greater mitogenic activity and elevated levels of platelet-derived growth factor (PDGF)-like peptides than cells exposed to normal pregnancy sera or postpartum preeclamptic sera. Under the same experimental conditions, predelivery preeclamptic sera stimulated greater expression of endothelial cell PDGF-B-chain mRNA than that accumulated in the presence of matched postdelivery sera. By contrast, no differences in endothelial cell PDGF-B mRNA levels were noted when pre- and postdelivery sera from normal parturients were tested. The results suggest that a factor(s) in the blood of preeclamptic women can stimulate the synthesis and release of a potent growth factor and vasoconstrictor from human endothelial cells. 相似文献

Male breast carcinomas are probably hormone-dependent, but receptor studies are few because this is a relatively rare tumour. We have studied 21 cases of male breast carcinoma immunohistochemically for oestrogen receptor (ER) and epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) expression employing the antibodies ER-ICA and 12E on formalin-fixed, paraffin-embedded material. In our series, 86 per cent of male breast cancers were ER-positive and 76 per cent were EGFR-positive. Male breast carcinomas do not exhibit the inverse correlation between ER and EGFR expression that characterizes female breast carcinomas. Owing to the limitations of a small series, we were unable to comment on the relationship between ER and EGFR expression and patient survival. However, the relatively high incidence of ER expression may provide a growth advantage for this tumour in a male environment characterized by low levels of oestrogen. In addition, high EGFR expression may also contribute to a poor prognosis independent of ER status. 相似文献

Relative platelet-derived growth factor receptor subunit expression determines cell migration to different dimeric forms of PDGF 总被引:13,自引:0,他引:13

Platelet-derived growth factor (PDGF) receptor transfectants of a fibroblastoid cell line (BHK) have been used to investigate the ability of the three dimeric forms of PDGF to elicit a chemotactic response. Cells transfected with the beta receptor subunit were only responsive to PDGF-BB, whereas cells expressing the alpha-receptor subunit were equally responsive to all three dimeric forms, PDGF-AA, PDGF-AB, and PDGF-BB. A positive chemotactic response correlated with rearrangement of actin organization. In a study of human arterial smooth muscle cells that express both PDGF receptor subunits endogenously, we again found that recombinant PDGF-AA could elicit a chemotactic response. However, the two smooth muscle cell isolates we examined differed in their chemotactic response to PDGF-AA. This difference correlated closely with their ability to respond mitogenically to this PDGF dimeric form, and the magnitude of both chemotactic and mitogenic responses was related to the proportion of the two receptor subunit species at the cell surface. 相似文献
