Rat Cytomegalovirus-Accelerated Transplant Vascular Sclerosis Is Reduced with Mutation of the Chemokine-Receptor R33

Cytomegalovirus (CMV) infection accelerates transplant vascular sclerosis (TVS) and chronic rejection (CR) in both human and animal solid organ transplantation models. The host/viral mechanisms involved in this process are unclear. We examine the role of the rat CMV (RCMV)-encoded chemokine-receptor R33 in the development of TVS using a rat heart transplantation/CR model. F344 heart grafts were transplanted heterotopically into Lewis recipients. The ability of RCMV lacking the R33 gene (RCMV-Deltar33) to accelerate CR/TVS (neointimal index, NI) was compared to wild-type (WT) RCMV. Allograft recipients were infected with 1 x 10(5) pfu RCMV or RCMV-Deltar33 on postoperative day (POD) 1. Grafts from RCMV-Deltar33-infected recipients demonstrated an accelerated time to allograft CR compared to grafts from uninfected recipients (POD = 56 vs. 90), this was slower than that seen in grafts from WT-RCMV-infected recipients (POD = 45). Similarly, the degree of graft TVS formation at terminal rejection in RMCV-Deltar33 infected recipients was more severe than uninfected recipients (NI = 63 vs. 45), yet not as severe as in WT-RCMV infected recipients (NI = 83). In parallel, RCMV-Deltar33 failed to induce vascular smooth muscle cell (SMC) migration in vitro, whereas WT-RCMV induced substantial migration. The RCMV-encoded chemokine-receptor r33 is critical for RCMV-accelerated TVS/CR and vascular SMC migration.     

趋化因子受体在肝癌细胞中的表达及其意义

目的 观察趋化因子受体(CCR1 CCR7 CXCB3 CXCR4)在人肝癌细胞系(Hep3BHepG2 HLE和HLF)的表达,并探讨其作用机制.方法 采用逆转录-聚合酶链反应(RT-PCR)、细胞免疫组织化学、流式细胞仪测定趋化因子受体在肝癌细胞表面的表达,通过肝癌细胞Hep3B体外侵袭实验即重组大鼠巨噬细胞激动蛋白(CCL3)-1对Hep3B细胞穿透人工重组基底膜能力的影响来检测趋化因子受体在肝癌侵袭转移时所起的作用,并通过激光共聚焦显微镜观察趋化因子受体在肝癌细胞侵袭转移过程中的作用机制.结果 通过RT-PCR,流式细胞术可检测到CCR1 mR-NA及蛋白在肝癌细胞中表达,免疫组织化学显示CCR1在肝癌细胞包膜和胞质内都有表达.细胞侵袭实验提示Hep3B在CCL3的刺激下,实验组Hep-3B细胞通过基底膜的数量(213±12)多于对照组细胞通过基底膜的数量(102±11),差异有统计学意义(P<0.01).运用激光共聚焦检测到实验组胞内钙离子的浓度增加到.结论 肝癌细胞系(Hep3B HepG2 HLE和HLF)的表面的表达CCRl,且CCR1在肝癌细胞侵袭转移中发挥重要的作用,其作用机制与细胞内钙离子浓度有很关.     

巨细胞病毒感染对动脉粥样硬化的影响

目的：研究巨细胞病毒(CMV)感染和动脉粥样硬化的关系，并探讨其可能机制。方法：通过一个大样本从血清流行病学(ELISA检测患者血清中抗CMV的IgG抗体)和分子生物学(PCR检测动脉粥样硬化病变中CMV特异性基因)方面探讨巨细胞病毒感染和动脉粥样硬化的关系，并检测CMV感染对内皮细胞趋化因子表达的影响。结果：动脉粥样硬化组血清中CMV的阳性率显著高于非动脉粥样硬化组(分别为82．2％和61．0％，P=0．02)；而且动脉粥样硬化斑块中HCMV基因出现率显著高于正常血管组织(13／15和2／7，P=0．01)；CMV感染还可上调内皮细胞：ECV-304表达MCP-1。结论：CMV感染参与动脉粥样硬化的形成和发生，这可能与CMV上调内皮细胞趋化因子表达有关。     

Yellow fever virus strains Asibi and 17D-204 infect human umbilical cord endothelial cells and induce novel changes in gene expression

Yellow fever (YF) is a zoonotic infection with more than 200,000 cases reported annually. Relatively little is known about YF pathogenesis in humans. In this study, we demonstrate that human vascular endothelial cells are susceptible to infection with wild-type and vaccine strains of the YFV and that these infections lead to a differential cellular response to infection. The infection of endothelial cells with either virus resulted in a significant induction of interferon-inducible genes p 78 and Cig 5 while wild-type virus induced a much more pronounced IL 6 and Bc l2 response than did the vaccine strain. Both viruses induced RANTES gene expression, but only the wild-type virus had corresponding increases in RANTES protein expression. The results demonstrate that the wild-type and vaccine strains of YFV elicit significantly different responses to infection in endothelial cells, despite being nearly identical genetically. These differences may account for the attenuated phenotype of the YFV vaccine strain, though the mechanism remains unclear. These data also point to a role for vascular endothelial cells in YF hemorrhagic fever and also suggest that IL 6 may play a role in increased viral pathogenesis, perhaps by influencing coagulation via release of coagulation co-factors such as fibrin or fibrinogen.     

HIV-1协同受体CXCR4、CCR5及相关趋化因子SDF-1在胎盘的表达

目的：研究HIV-1协同受体CXCR4、CCR5及CXCR4的特异性配体SDF-1在人胎盘组织的表达，探索HIV-1子宫内垂直传播的分子机制。方法：半定量RT-PCR检测早、中、晚孕期胎盘及早孕滋养细胞CXCR4、CCR5 mRNA水平；免疫组化和免疫细胞化学检测早孕胎盘及原代培养滋养细胞CXCR4、CCR5蛋白表达；原位杂交及免疫组化分析SDF-1在早孕胎盘的表达；ELISA测定滋养细胞SDF-1的动态分泌水平。结果：各孕期胎盘表达CXCR4及CCR5 mRNA；CXCR4蛋白定位于滋养细胞，而CCR5蛋白定位于绒毛基质中。滋养细胞可转录并翻译SDF-1，且能分泌可溶性SDF-1。结论：滋养细胞同时表达CXCR4及SDF-1，SDF-1可能通过降调CXCR4而拮抗X4-HIV-1感染胎儿细胞；R5-HIV-1或许能通过滋养层裂隙感染CCR5^#基质细胞和/或Hotbauer细胞，从而发生子宫内垂直传播。     

Estrogen decreases expression of chemokine receptors, and suppresses chemokine bioactivity in murine monocytes

Problem:  We propose that the ability of estrogen exposure to increase the probability of a woman developing breast cancer may be related to decreased chemokine activity and suppression of immune surveillance in mammary tissue. The present study was conducted to determine whether estrogen could decrease monocyte bioactivity through alteration of chemokine receptor expression.
Method of study:  We examined the effect of estrogen and tamoxifen on the expression of the chemokine receptors CCR2 and CXCR3 on murine monocytes treated in culture and in vivo . Effects of estrogen on chemokine activation of monocytes were also evaluated.
Results:  Estrogen and tamoxifen significantly decreased expression of CCR2 and, to a lesser extent, CXCR3 on murine monocytes. Estrogen decreased chemotaxis of monocytes towards MCP-1/JE. The chemokines MCP-1/JE and MIP-1 α were unable to evoke increases in intracellular calcium in murine monocytes treated with estrogen, alone or in combination with tamoxifen.
Conclusions:  Our results show that estrogen suppresses the ability of monocytes to respond to certain chemokines, suggesting that estrogen exposure might decrease immune surveillance in tissues where the action of specific chemokines is involved.
