  • 简介:干扰素规章的因素(IRF)3在病毒或细菌的侵略期间为chemokines和cytokines的transcriptional正式就职是批评的。kinases坦克有约束力的kinase(TBK)1并且IkappaBkinase(IKK)蔚罐头phosphorylateIRF3和玩的C终端部分在IRF3激活的重要角色。在这研究,我们显示出那另外一个kinase,c-Jun-NH2-terminalkinase(JNK),它的N终端丝氨酸上的phosphorylatesIRF3173残余,和TAK1能经由JNK刺激IRF3phosphorylation。没有影响C终端phosphorylation,JNK特定的禁止者SP600125禁止N终端phosphorylation。另外,lipopolysaccharide(LPS)上的调停IRF3的基因表情或polyinosinic-cytidylic酸(polyI:C)处理被SP600125严重地损害,以及为IRF3激活的记者基因试金。进一步证实的TAK1击倒这些观察。有趣地,组成的活跃IRF3(5D)能被SP600125禁止;JNK1罐头synergizeIRF3(5D)的行动,然而并非S173A-IRF3(5D)变异。更重要地,polyI:没能戏剧性地导致变异的S173A和SP600125的phosphorylation的C废除了被polyI刺激的IRF3phosphorylation和dimerization:C。因此,这研究证明TAK1-JNK串联为IRF3功能被要求,除了TBK1/IKK蔚,揭开为激活mitogen的蛋白质(地图)的新机制调整天生的免疫的kinase。

  • 简介:AbstractObjective:This study was designed to evaluate whether p62/SQSTM1 (hereafter referred to as p62) is involved in the immune response of macrophages against challenge by Candida albicans (C. albicans).Methods:We cultured bone marrow-derived macrophages (BMDMs) to investigate the immune response to challenge by C. albicans. The p62 gene was knocked down by transfection with p62 small interfering RNA (siRNA) in the p62 siRNA group. BMDMs transfected with nonsense siRNA served as the negative control (NC) group. These two groups of BMDMs were challenged with C. albicans in vitro. We detected p62 expression through quantitative reverse transcription PCR and western blotting. The phagocytosis ability of BMDMs was evaluated by flow cytometry and microscopic examination using an Olympus FV1000 laser scanning confocal microscope. Moreover, we determined the level of reactive oxygen species (ROS) in BMDMs. The mRNA levels of proinflammatory cytokines were determined by quantitative reverse transcription PCR.Results:After stimulation by C. albicans, the relative expression of p62 mRNA was increased in a dose-dependent manner, the relative expression of p62 and the ratio of BMDMs to C. albicans is 1.893 ± 0.2156 (1:1, P < 0.05), 2.873 ± 0.4787 (1:3, P < 0.05) and 3.556 ± 0.2892 (1:5, P < 0.01). The p62 protein level was also increased. After transfection with p62 siRNA, the mRNA and protein levels of p62 were significantly decreased in BMDMs (P < 0.05). After 0.5, 1 and 2 hours of co-culture of BMDMs with C. albicans, flow cytometry showed that the phagocytosis rates of C. albicans by BMDMs were significantly lower in the p62 siRNA group than in the NC group (39.70 ± 1.69% vs. 55.23 ± 0.72%, 46.70 ± 0.89% vs. 60.80 ± 1.78%, 51.90 ± 0.98% vs. 64.43 ± 2.0%, respectively, all P < 0.05). Consistent results were seen in the production of ROS (4269 ± 392.6 vs. 13426 ± 1859.7, 4967 ± 721.2 vs. 13687 ± 2611.2, 7647 ± 1950.0 vs. 17719 ± 1814.2, respectively, all P < 0.05). The ROS levels were higher in BMDMs of the NC group than in BMDMs transfected with p62 siRNA at 0.5, 1, and 2 hours after treatment with C. albicans. BMDMs was co-cultured with C. albicans for 4 and 12 hours, the mRNA levels of interleukin-1β and interleukin-18 in NCs were also higher than p62 siRNA group, interleukin-1β: (6.14 ± 1.63 vs. 12.12 ± 0.54, 8.81 ± 0.86 vs. 26.2 ± 4.67, respectively, all P < 0.05), IL-18: (0.38 ± 0.02 vs. 0.97 ± 0.06, 0.44 ± 0.02 vs. 2.23 ± 0.46, respectively, all P < 0.05).Conclusion:p62 plays an important role in the process of phagocytosis in BMDMs challenged by C. albicans through ROS production and expression of proinflammatory cytokines.

  • 简介:AbstractEffective prophylactic and therapeutic interventions are urgentlyneeded to address the coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic. Various antiviral drugs have recently been tested. Type I interferon (IFN) is a regulatory protein involved in the innate immune response, with broad-spectrum antiviral activities and the ability to directly block viral replication and support the immune response to eliminate virus infection. Insufficient virus-induced type I IFN production is characteristic of severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) infection, because SARS-CoV-2 suppresses the IFN response by interacting with essential IFN signaling pathways. Exogenous type I IFN is recommended for treating COVID-19. Unexpectedly however, angiotensin converting enzyme-2 (ACE2) receptor, which acts as a SARS-CoV-2 receptor, was shown to be stimulated by IFN, raising doubts about the suitability of IFN use. However, further studies have excluded concerns regarding IFN administration. Type I IFNs, including IFN-α1b, have been used clinically as antiviral drugs for many years and have shown strong antiviral activity against SARS-CoV-2 in vitro. Preliminary clinical studies of type I IFNs, especially when delivered via aerosol inhalation, have demonstrated efficacy for the treatment and prevention of COVID-19. Randomized controlled trials of IFN for COVID-19 treatment are ongoing.

  • 简介:AbstractObjective:Mifepristone (RU486), one of the most common medications for artificial abortion, attenuates the immunoregulatory effects of progesterone. However, the specific immune regulatory mechanism of RU486 in abortion remains unknown. We intended to investigate the immunomodulatory effects of RU486 on abortion.Methods:Sixty female mice were divided into the control group (0 mg RU486) and RU486 group (2 mg/kg RU486). The uterus, peripheral blood, and spleen were obtained for isolation of specific cell types. The population and phenotype of immune cells in the decidua, peripheral blood, and spleen were analyzed using flow cytometry. Statistical differences between groups were determined using two-tailed t-test. For all statistical tests, P < 0.05 was considered statistically significant.Results:RU486 effectively induced abortion in pregnant mice, with a significantly higher number of decidual macrophages (dMφ) (control group = 25.55% ± 2.467%, RU486 group = 19.41% ± 1.423%; P < 0.05), especially the major histocompatibility complex IIhigh subset. No difference in Mφ number was observed in the spleen or peripheral blood. Moreover, the dMφ from mice with RU486-induced abortion displayed a remarkable activated phenotype, with increased expressions of inducible nitric oxide synthase, tumor necrosis factor-α, and interleukin (IL)-12 but decreased expressions of arginase-1 and IL-10. We also found elevated levels of decidual CD4+ T-cells in the RU486 group that exhibited a higher level of the proinflammatory cytokine interferon-γ and a lower level of the anti-inflammatory cytokines, IL-4 and IL-10.Conclusions:We report a new mechanism of RU486-induced abortion via the regulation of innate cell Mφ activation and the adaptive response of CD4+ T-cells present in the decidua but not the periphery.

  • 简介:AbstractHost immune responses to severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2), especially in children, are still under investigation. Children with coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) constitute a significant study group of immune responses as they rarely present with severe clinical manifestations, require hospitalization, or develop complications such as multisystem inflammatory syndrome in children (MIS-C) associated with SARS-CoV-2 infection. The deciphering of children's immune responses during COVID-19 infection will provide information about the protective mechanisms, while new potential targets for future therapies are likely to be revealed. Despite the limited immunological studies in children with COVID-19, this review compares data between adults and children in terms of innate and adaptive immunity to SARS-CoV-2, discusses the possible reasons why children are mostly asymptomatic, and highlights unanswered or unclear immunological issues. Current evidence suggests that the activity of innate immunity seems to be crucial to the early phases of SARS-CoV-2 infection and adaptive memory immunity is vital to prevent reinfection.
