Methods： Bcl-2 gene was cloned by RT-PCR. Bd-2 and EGFP genes were linked together and inserted into pAdeno-X vector. This recombinant vector was packaged into infectious adenovirus in HEK293 cells. Ninety Wistar rats were assigned randomly into experimental group （n=45） and control group （n=45）. All rats were subjected to traumatic brain injury. Then recombinant adenovirus （ for experimental group） or saline （ for control group） was injected into the traumatic brain. The expression of Bcl-2 fusion protein was investigated by Western blotting, immunohistochemistry and fluorescence microscopy. Apoptosis in the injured brain was studied by TUNEL. Animals＇ behavior capacity was evaluated by tiltboard test. Results ： In the experimental group, many fluorescent cells were found around the traumatic locus,which were also proven to be Bcl-2-positive by immunohistochemistry. On the contrary, few Bcl-2-positive cells and no fluorescent cell were detected in the control group. Bcl-2 expression of experimental group was much higher than that of control group, which was illustrated by Western blotting. The apoptosis index of experimental group was 0. 027 ± 0. 005, and that of control group was 0. 141 ± 0.025 （ P 〈 0.01 ）. Two weeks after injury, animals of the experimental group behaved better than those of the control group. Conclusions ： A recombinant adenovirus vector expressing Bcl-2 fusion protein has been constructed. Bcl-2 fusion protein can suppress apoptosis and promote cell survival. Moreover, the behavior recovery of the injured animal is promoted. Bcl-2 fusion protein provides a way to track the target cells in vivo.展开更多

Through Fab or Fc engineering, IgG-FcRn interaction can be used to generate a variety of therapeutic anti. bodies with significantly enhanced half-life or ability to remove unwanted antigen from circulation, Glycosyla- tion of a mAb or Fc.fusion protein can have a significant impact on the PK of these molecules, mAb charge can be important and variants with pl values of 1-2 unit difference are likely to impact PK with lower pl values being favorable for a longer half.life. Most mAbs display target mediated drug disposition （TMOO）, which can have significant consequences on the study designs of preclinical and clinical studies. The PK of mAb can also be influenced by anti-drug antibody （ADA） response and off.target binding, which require careful consideration during the discovery stage, mAbs are primarily absor- bed through the lymphatics via convection and can be conveniently administered by the subcutaneous （sc） route in large doses/volumes with co-formulation of hyaluronidase. The human PK of a mAb can be rea- sonably estimated using cynomolgus monkey data and allometric scaling methods.展开更多

ETO protein has four conserved nervy homology regions termed NHR1― 4. A lot have already been known about NHR1, 2, 4: NHR1 is homologous with the Drosophila TATA-box-associated factor 110 (TAF110); NHR2 is a dimerization domain associated with mSin3A/HDAC; NHR4 is MYND class of zinc fingers associated with NCoR/SMRT/HDAC. Only the function of NHR3 remains unclear. In order to investigate whether NHR3 domain could participate in oligomerization, we cloned and purified this domain. Through gel filtration chromatography, dynamic light scattering and dissolved crystal electrophoresis, we found that NHR3 domain was a tight tetramer. Then we cloned NHR3+4 domain (i.e. NHR3 domain plus NHR4 domain), and discovered, by gel filtration chromatography and native PAGE, that NHR3+4 domain could form dimer in solution. This was the first time to ob- serve that NHR3 and NHR4 domains may have some con- tribution to the oligomerization of ETO protein, which might recruit corepressors in the form of dimer, and stabilize ETO dimerization through convergent strength of NHR2, NHR3 and NHR4 domains and then stabilize corepressors recruit- ment. These speculations are very worthy of further evalua- tion.展开更多
