Effect of prolonged inhibition of neutral endopeptidase on cardiac hypertrophy in rats with myocardial infarction

Summary Myocardial infarction was induced in rats by ligation of the left coronary artery. Treatment with TM1, a prodrug of SQ 28,603, an inhibitor of neutral endopeptidase (NEP, EC 3.4.24.11), was started 18–20 hours after ligation and was continued for 4 weeks (100 mg/kg, orally, twice daily). Morphological and biochemical parameters were assessed at the end of therapy. The treatment resulted in a significant reduction of heart hypertrophy, which was restricted to the parts of myocardium hemodynamically upstream of the infarcted left ventricle. The weights of the right ventricle and atria were reduced by 15–20%, whereas the treatment had no effect on the left ventricle and septum weights. Treatment led to an almost complete inhibition of plasma NEP activity and to a slight decrease (-14%, p<0.05) in plasma ACE activity. Plasma ANF level increased 3.8-fold after ligation, and treatment resulted in a slight (+29%) and nonsignificant additional increase in the ANF level. The amount of hydroxyproline in the right ventricle was enhanced by +207% in control ligated rats and by +140% (NS) in treated rats. These data indicate that prolonged NEP inhibition exerts a favorable effect in heart failure by reducing the development of right ventricular and atrial hypertrophy. These effects may result from an improvement in hemodynamic conditions, leading to a reduction in cardiac preload.     

Induction of specific anti-actin antibodies and their measurement by ELISA technique.

Using the ELISA technique we have been able to quantify antibodies directed against actin and to follow the kinetics of antibody production. Specific anti-actin antisera have been raised in rabbits by immunization with chemically modified white muscle rabbit actin. Two or three dinitrophenyl groups linked per actin molecule were sufficient to break natural tolerance, while linkage of three phosphorylcholine groups to actin was not.     

Dissection of seroreactivity against the tryptophan-rich motif of the feline immunodeficiency virus transmembrane glycoprotein

Immunogenicity of the tryptophan-rich motif (TrpM) in the membrane-proximal ectodomain of the transmembrane (TM) glycoprotein of feline immunodeficiency virus (FIV) was investigated. Peptide 59, a peptide containing the TrpM of the TM of FIV, was covalently coupled to Qbeta phage virus-like particles (Qbeta-59) in the attempt to induce potent anti-TrpM B cell responses in cats. All Qbeta-59 immunized cats, but not cats that received a mixture of uncoupled Qbeta and peptide 59, developed antibodies that reacted with a same epitope in extensive binding and binding competition assays. The epitope recognized was composed of three amino acids, two of which are adjacent. However, Qbeta-59-immune sera failed to recognize whole FIV in all binding and neutralization assays performed. Furthermore, no reactivity against the TrpM was detected by screening sera from FIV-infected cats that had reacted with TM peptides, confirming that this epitope does not seem to be serologically functional in the FIV virion. The data suggest that TrpM may not be a suitable target for antiviral vaccine design.

Profiling of differentially expressed chemotactic-related genes in MCP-1 treated macrophage cell line using human cDNA arrays

AIM: To study the global gene expression of chemotactic genes in macrophage line U937 treated with human monocyte chemoattractant protein-1 (MCP-1) through the use of ExpreeChipTMO2 cDNA array. METHODS: Total RNA was extracted from MCP-1 treated macrophage line U937 and normal U937 cells, reversely transcribed to cDNA, and then screened in parallel with HO2 human cDNA array chip. The scanned result was additionally validated using RT-PCR. RESULTS: The result of cDNA array showed that one chemotactic-related gene was up-regulated more than two-fold (RANTES) and seven chemotactic-related genes were down-regulated more than two-fold (CCR1, CCR5, ccll6, GROβ, GROγ,IL-8 and granulocyte chemotactic protein 2) in MCP-1 treated U937 cells at mRNA level. RT-PCR analysis of four of these differentially expressed genes gave results consistent with cDNA array findings. CONCLUSION: MCP-1 could influence some chemokine and receptor expressions in macrophages in vitro. MCP-1 mainly down-regulates the expression of chemotactic genes influencing neutrophilic granulocyte expression (GROβ, GROγ, IL-8 and granulocyte chemotactic protein 2), and the mRNA level of CCR5, which plays a critical role in many disorders and illnesses.     

Effects of transmembrane region variability on cell surface expression and allorecognition of HLA-DP3

The functional relevance of polymorphisms outside the peptide binding groove of HLA molecules is poorly understood. Here we have addressed this issue by studying HLA-DP3, a common antigen relevant for functional matching algorithms of unrelated hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (HSCT) encoded by two transmembrane (TM) region variants, DPB1^*03:01 and DPB1^*104:01. The two HLA-DP3 variants were found at a overall allelic frequency of 10.4% in 201 volunteer stem cell donors, at a ratio of 4.2:1. No significant differences were observed in cell surface expression levels of the two variants on B lymphoblastoid cell lines (BLCL), primary B cells or monocytes. Three different alloreactive T cell lines or clones showed similar levels of activation marker CD107a and/or CD137 upregulation in response to HLA-DP3 encoded by DPB1^*03:01 and DPB1^*104:01, either endogenously on BLCL or after lentiveral-vector mediated transfer into the same cellular background. These data provide, for the first time, direct evidence for a limited functional role of a TM region polymorphism on expression and allorecognition of HLA-DP3 and are compatible with the notion that the two variants can be considered as a single functional entity for unrelated stem cell donor selection.
