To determine the functions of ITGA11, we performed a yeast two-hybrid screen using the cytoplasmic domain of ITGA11 as bait and transformed an EGY48 yeast strain with the bait-containing plasmid using the plasmid from a human lung fibroblast cDNA library. This screen identified calcium- and integrin-binding protein 1 (CIB1) as prey. Recombinant ITGA11 and CIB1 were expressed in mammalian cells and used in coimmunoprecipitation experiments, which showed that full-length ITGA11 and CIB1 are also associated in vivo. Over-expression of CIB1 in the human lung myofibroblast MRC-5 cells decreased the expression of α-smooth muscle actin and fibronectin. Using a mouse model of pulmonary fibrosis (bleomycin-treatment), we detected elevated expression of CIB1 in lung tissues compared with controls. These data suggest that CIB1 may regulate pulmonary fibrosis in concert with IT-GA11.展开更多

Methods Two series of experiments were performed in Wistar rat hearts. In the first series of experiment, ischemic preconditioning was induced by left anterior descending occlusion (three, 5 min episodes separated by 5 min of reperfusion), ischemia-reperfusion injury was induced by 30 min coronary artery occlusion followed by 90 min reperfusion. Hemodynamics, infarct size and scores of ventricular arrhythmias were measured. The expression of Gαq/11 protein in the heart was measured by Western blot analysis in the second series. Results Ischemic preconditioning rats showed decreased infarct size and scores of ventricular arrhythmia vs non-IP control rats. The effect of IPC was significantly attenuated by glibenclamide (1 mg/kg, ip), a nonselective KATP channel inhibitor. IPC caused a significant increase in the expression of Gαq/11 protein. Conclusions Activations of Gαq/11 signal pathway and KATP channel played significant roles in the classical cardioprotection of ischemic precon-ditioning rat heart and might be an important mechanism of signal transduction pathway during the ischemic preconditioning.展开更多

文摘【背景】成簇规律间隔的短回文重复序列相关蛋白(clustered regularly interspaced short palindromic repeats/CRISPR-associated protein,CRISPR/Cas9)已被广泛证实是高效、强大的第三代基因编辑工具,在发现功能基因等领域取得了重要进展,但至今尚无利用该方法挖掘猪流行性腹泻病毒(porcine epidemic diarrhea virus,PEDV)宿主基因的报道。【目的】利用CRISPR/Cas9系统在全基因组范围内筛选PEDV复制相关基因,并进行候选基因的初步验证,为培育抗PEDV种猪提供科学参考。【方法】通过CRISPR/Cas9技术构建人肝癌细胞系(Huh-7)全基因组敲除文库,利用PEDV感染Huh-7文库细胞,随后经过高通量测序筛选影响PEDV复制的关键宿主因子,结合基因干扰和检测病毒效价等相关试验对影响PEDV复制的候选基因进行初步验证。【结果】构建了CRISPR/Cas9系统在全基因组范围内筛选PEDV复制相关基因的方法,将富集程度排名靠前的整合素α11(integrinα11,ITGA11)、哺乳动物复制蛋白A2(replication protein A2,RPA2)、驱动蛋白家族成员2A(kinesin family member 2A,KIF2A)、诱导髓系白血病细胞分化蛋白1(induced myeloid leukemia cell differentiation protein 1,MCL1)、多聚ADP核糖化酶1[poly(ADP-ribose)polymerase 1,PARP1]和囊泡单胺转运蛋白(vesicular monoamine transporter,SLC18A1)基因进行了验证;采用siRNA对上述基因分别进行干扰后,结果与对照组相比,干扰ITGA11可显著降低PEDV猪源靶向细胞IPEC-J2中PEDV-N mRNA、蛋白表达水平及子代病毒滴度。【结论】基于CRISPR/Cas9系统的全基因组敲除文库可作为挖掘PEDV复制相关功能基因的有效工具,ITGA11基因可作为一种制备抗PEDV猪种潜在的靶基因。
