A novel human gene spindlin1, encoding a protein localized in the cell nucleus and inducing NIH3T3 cell''s transformation

A novel human gene, spindlin1, recently cloned in our laboratory, is highly expressed in the tissue of ovary cancer. To study its biological function, a vector expressing green fluorescent-spindlin1 fusion protein was constructed and transfected into COS-7 and NIH3T3 cells by lipofectamine methods. The results showed that the fusion protein pEGFP-N1-spindlin1 was localized in the nucleus of COS-7 and NIH3T3 cells. NIH3T3 cells which could stably express spindlin1 as a result of RT-PCR analysis compared with the parental NIH3T3 cells displayed a complete morphological change, improved the cell growth and increased the percentage of cells in G2/M phase (12.6% vs control cells at 3.4%). Furthermore, overexpressed spindlin1 cells formed colonies in soft agar, more motile in migration assay in vitro and formed tumors in nude mice. Our findings provide direct evidence that spindlin1 gene may be a prooncogene which is associated with tumorigenesis.

HIV susceptibility conferred to human fibroblasts by cytomegalovirus-induced Fc receptor

The main receptor for the human immunodeficiency viruses type 1 and 2 (HIV-1 and HIV-2) on T and B lymphocytes, monocytes and macrophages is the CD4 antigen 1-3. Infection of these cells is blocked by monoclonal antibodies to CD4(1,2) and by recombinant soluble CD4(4-9). Expression of transfected CD4 on the surface of HeLa and other human cells renders them susceptible to HIV infection 10. HIV-antibody complexes can also infect monocytes and macrophages by means of receptors for the Fc portion of immunoglobulins (FcR)11-13), or complement receptors 14,15. The expression of IgG FcRs can be induced in cells infected with human herpes viruses such as herpes simplex virus type 1 (HSV-1)16,17 and human cytomegalovirus (CMV)18-21. Here we demonstrate that FcRs induced by CMV allow immune complexes of HIV to infect fibroblasts otherwise not permissive to HIV infection. Infection was inhibited by prior incubation with human IgG, but not by anti-CD4 antibody or by recombinant soluble CD4. Once HIV had entered CMV-infected cells by means of the FcR, its replication could be enhanced by CMV transactivating factors. Synergism between HIV and herpes viruses could also operate in vivo, enhancing immunosuppression and permitting the spread of HIV to cells not expressing CD4.     

C-terminal domain of Chk1 regulates its subcellular location and kinase activity for DNA repair

Effector kinase Chk1 is an evolutionarily conserved protein kinase. It is a key mediator linking the mechanisms that monitor DNA integrity to components of the cell cycle engine. In this study, recombinant vectors pEGFP-C1-Chk1/C 288/C 334/C 368 were constructed and transfected into HeLa cells to study the effect of the Chk1 regulatory domain on the regulation of subcellular Chk1 location in response to DNA damage. We found that DNA damage-induced nuclear accumulation is regulated by 34 amino acids (334–368) in the C-terminal regulatory domain. Recombinant vectors pXJ41-Chk1/C 288/C 334/C 368 were co-transfected with reporter plasmid pEGFP-N2 into HeLa cells to study the repair abilities of the different human Chk1 truncation mutants. In addition, recombinant vectors were transfected into HeLa cells to study the effects of the different truncation mutants on the cell cycle. Furthermore, to study the kinase activity of the different truncation mutants, Ser216 phosphorylation of Cdc25C was studied by Western blot analysis. We found that the enzymatic activity of C 368, missing the 108 C-terminal amino acids (368–476), was higher than that of full-length Chk1, and C 368 delayed the cell cycle progression. The enzymatic activity of C 334, missing the 142 C-terminal amino acids (334–476), was equivalent to that of full-length Chk1. C 288, missing the 188 C-terminal amino acids (288–476), had almost no enzymatic activity, suggesting that the regulatory domain contains both inhibitory and regulatory elements. This study provides useful information for further research on Chk1 function.     

Short interfering RNA confers intracellular antiviral immunity in human cells

Gene silencing mediated by double-stranded RNA (dsRNA) is a sequence-specific, highly conserved mechanism in eukaryotes. In plants, it serves as an antiviral defence mechanism. Animal cells also possess this machinery but its specific function is unclear. Here we demonstrate that dsRNA can effectively protect human cells against infection by a rapidly replicating and highly cytolytic RNA virus. Pre-treatment of human and mouse cells with double-stranded, short interfering RNAs (siRNAs) to the poliovirus genome markedly reduces the titre of virus progeny and promotes clearance of the virus from most of the infected cells. The antiviral effect is sequence-specific and is not attributable to either classical antisense mechanisms or to interferon and the interferon response effectors protein kinase R (PKR) and RNaseL. Protection is the result of direct targeting of the viral genome by siRNA, as sequence analysis of escape virus (resistant to siRNAs) reveals one nucleotide substitution in the middle of the targeted sequence. Thus, siRNAs elicit specific intracellular antiviral resistance that may provide a therapeutic strategy against human viruses.
