Activation of endothelial nitric oxide synthase (eNOS) in portal hypertensive (PHT) gastric mucosa leads to hyperdynamic circulation and increased susceptibility to injury. However, the signaling mechanisms for eNOS activation in PHT gastric mucosa and the role of TNF-alpha in this signaling remain unknown. In PHT gastric mucosa we studied (1) eNOS phosphorylation (at serine 1177) required for its activation; (2) association of the phosphatidylinositol 3-kinase (PI 3-kinase), and its downstream effector Akt, with eNOS; and, (3) whether TNF-alpha neutralization affects eNOS phosphorylation and PI 3-kinase-Akt activation. To determine human relevance, we used human microvascular endothelial cells to examine directly whether TNF-alpha stimulates eNOS phosphorylation via PI 3-kinase. PHT gastric mucosa has significantly increased (1) eNOS phosphorylation at serine 1177 by 90% (P <.01); (2) membrane translocation (P <.05) and phosphorylation (P <.05) of p85 (regulatory subunit of PI 3-kinase) by 61% and 85%, respectively; (3) phosphorylation (P <.01) and activity (P <.01) of Akt by 40% and 52%, respectively; and (4) binding of Akt to eNOS by as much as 410% (P <.001). Neutralizing anti-TNF-alpha antibody significantly reduced p85 phosphorylation, phosphorylation and activity of Akt, and eNOS phosphorylation in PHT gastric mucosa to normal levels. Furthermore, TNF-alpha stimulated eNOS phosphorylation in human microvascular endothelial cells. In conclusion, these findings show that in PHT gastric mucosa, TNF-alpha stimulates eNOS phosphorylation at serine 1177 (required for its activation) via the PI 3-kinase-Akt signal transduction pathway. 相似文献

Regulatory T cells (Tregs) and beta-galactoside-binding protein (βGBP), a regulatory protein often found expressed at sites of immunological privilege, have similar functions. Their presence affects the outcome of harmful autoimmunity and cancers, including experimental autoimmune encephalomyelitis and malignant gliomas. Here we report a novel pathway by which Tregs express and utilize βGBP to control CD8+ T cell responses partially activating TCR signaling but blocking PI3K activity. As a result, this leads to a loss of p21ras, ERK and Akt activities despite activation of TCR proximal signals, such as phosphorylation of CD3ζ, Zap70, Lat and PKCθ. Although non-processive TCR signaling often leads to cell anergy, Tregs/βGBP did not affect cell viability. Instead, βGBP/Tregs transiently prevented activation of CD8+ T cells with self-antigens, while keeping their responses to xenogeneic antigens unaffected. 相似文献

Background
The average life span of Mongolians is 62 years for males and 69 years for females. This life span is about 16 years shorter than that of Japanese. Mongolian people generally eat meat, fat and diary products but less vegetables or fruit. Thus, we investigated the state of oxidative stress and dietary habits of Mongolians.Methods
The investigation was performed in Murun city in the northwest area of Mongolia. A total of 164 healthy subjects (24–66 y) were enrolled. As a marker of reactive oxygen species, the levels of reactive oxygen metabolites (ROM) were measured using the d-ROM test. Interviews about dietary habits were performed using the Food Frequency Questionnaire established by the Kagawa Nutrition University.Results
ROM levels were 429.7 ± 95.2 Carr U for Murun subjects, whereas Japanese people (n = 220, 21–98 y) showed 335.3 ± 59.8 (p < 0.001). The levels of serum malondialdehyde-modified low-density lipoprotein-cholesterol and urinary 8-hydroxydeoxyguanosine were also high. ROM levels correlated with body fat ratio and inversely correlated with handgrip strength. Handgrip strength in the subjects over 45 years decreased more rapidly than that of age-matched Japanese. Murun subjects ate larger amounts of meat, fat, milk and flour and dairy products than Japanese, but less vegetables or fruit. Serum vitamin A and E levels were the same as Japanese references, but vitamin C levels were lower.Conclusion
Murun subjects may be in high oxidative stress, which may have a relationship with early ageing and several diseases, ultimately resulting in their short life span. In order to increase antioxidant capacity and suppress overproduction of ROM, antioxidant food intake is recommended. 相似文献6.
Chemokine receptor targeting efficiently directs antigens to MHC class I pathways and elicits antigen-specific CD8+ T-cell responses 下载免费PDF全文
Chemokines are key controllers of cell trafficking and are involved in numerous pathologic and inflammatory conditions. However, the fate of a chemokine ligand, once it is endocytosed with its receptor, remains obscure. Here, using chemokine-tumor antigen fusion constructs, we demonstrate for the first time that chemokines are internalized to early/late endosomal and lysosomal compartments through a clathrin-dependent process and subsequently delivered to the cytosol for proteasomal processing, facilitating efficient cross-presentation to the TAP-1-dependent MHC class I processing pathway. These data not only elucidate the intracellular fate of chemokine ligands upon receptor uptake, but also demonstrate the superior carrier potency of chemokines for delivering self-antigens to both class I and II processing pathways to induce CD8(+) and CD4(+) T-cell responses. 相似文献

Gene therapy for gastric ulcers with single local injection of naked DNA encoding VEGF and angiopoietin-1. 总被引:18,自引:0,他引:18

BACKGROUND & AIMS: Angiogenesis, formation of new capillary blood vessels, is crucial for gastroduodenal ulcer healing because it enables delivery of oxygen and nutrients to the healing site. Because angiogenesis is stimulated by vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) and angiopoietin-1 (Ang1), we studied whether local gene therapy with nonviral DNA encoding VEGF and/or Ang1 into the ulcer base could accelerate ulcer healing through enhanced angiogenesis. METHODS: Gastric ulcers were induced in rats by acetic acid applied to the serosal surface of the stomach, and the site around the ulcer was injected with nonviral plasmid-encoding full-length complementary DNA (cDNA) of human recombinant (rh) VEGF165, rhAng1, or their combination. For some studies, neutralizing anti-VEGF antibody was administered. RESULTS: Single local injection of plasmids encoding VEGF165 and Ang1 significantly increased neovascularization and accelerated ulcer healing. A neutralizing anti-VEGF antibody significantly reduced the acceleration of ulcer healing resulting from the treatment. Coinjection of both plasmids encoding rhVEGF165 and rhAng1 resulted in formation of more mature vessels and to more complete restoration of gastric glandular structures within the ulcer scar. However, this did not result in further reduction of ulcer size. CONCLUSIONS: VEGF and Ang1 gene therapy, with limited duration of target gene expression, significantly accelerates gastric ulcer healing. Coinjection of both plasmids leads to more complete structural restoration. Inhibition of accelerated healing by a neutralizing anti-VEGF antibody indicates an essential role for VEGF and enhanced angiogenesis in ulcer healing. 相似文献

Jomthonic acid A (1), a new modified amino acid, was isolated from the culture broth of a soil-derived actinomycete of the genus Streptomyces. The structure and absolute configuration of 1 were determined by spectroscopic analyses and chemical conversion. Jomthonic acid A (1) induced differentiation of preadipocytes into mature adipocytes at 2-50 μM. 相似文献

The efficacy of laparosonic coagulating shears for arterial division and hemostasis in porcine arteries 总被引:3,自引:0,他引:3

BACKGROUND: Recently, the laparosonic coagulating shears (LCS) have been used widely in laparoscopic surgery. In the current study, the usefulness of LCS for arterial division and hemostasis was examined in porcine arteries. METHODS: Porcine arteries of several diameters (1, 3, and 5 mm) were removed and divided using LCS with different blade modes: shear, blunt, and flat. The division time and bursting pressure were registered. Additionally, divided sections stained by the Azan-Mallory method were observed microscopically. RESULTS: The division time was dependent on the blade modes used. With the flat mode, the bursting pressure of 5-mm arteries was significantly higher than the bursting pressure with shear and blunt modes. Histologically, cavitation and mild degeneration of the vessel walls occurred adjacent to the cutting edge. CONCLUSION: The LCS is a safe and useful device for arterial division and hemostasis for 5-mm arteries if an adequate blade mode is used. 相似文献
