Nitrogen-bisphosphonates (n-BP), such as zoledronate, are the main class of drugs used for the prevention of osteoporotic fractures and the management of cancer-associated bone disease. However, long-term or high-dose use has been associated with certain adverse drug effects, such as osteonecrosis of the jaw and the loss of peripheral of blood Vγ9Vδ2 T cells, which appear to be linked to drug-induced immune dysfunction. In this report we show that neutrophils present in human peripheral blood readily take up zoledronate, and this phenomenon is associated with the potent immune suppression of human peripheral blood Vγ9Vδ2 T cells. Furthermore, we found this zoledronate-mediated inhibition by neutrophils could be overcome to fully reconstitute Vγ9Vδ2 T cell proliferation by concomitantly targeting neutrophil-derived hydrogen peroxide, serine proteases, and arginase I activity. These findings will enable the development of targeted strategies to mitigate some of the adverse effects of n-BP treatment on immune homeostasis and to improve the success of immunotherapy trials based on harnessing the anticancer potential of peripheral blood γδ T cells in the context of n-BP treatment. 相似文献

Until now, animal cloning and the production of embryonic stem cell lines by somatic cell nuclear transfer have relied on introducing nuclei into meiotic oocytes. In contrast, attempts at somatic cell nuclear transfer into fertilized interphase zygotes have failed. As a result, it has generally been assumed that unfertilized human oocytes will be required for the generation of tailored human embryonic stem cell lines from patients by somatic cell nuclear transfer. Here we report, however, that, unlike interphase zygotes, mouse zygotes temporarily arrested in mitosis can support somatic cell reprogramming, the production of embryonic stem cell lines and the full-term development of cloned animals. Thus, human zygotes and perhaps human embryonic blastomeres may be useful supplements to human oocytes for the creation of patient-derived human embryonic stem cells. 相似文献

Enucleated oocytes have the distinctive ability to reprogram somatic nuclei back to totipotency. Here, we investigate genome-scale DNA methylation patterns after nuclear transfer and compare them to the dynamics at fertilization. We identify specific targets for DNA demethylation after nuclear transfer, such as germline-associated promoters, as well as unique limitations that include certain repetitive element classes. 相似文献

The spin of a single electron subject to a static magnetic field provides a natural two-level system that is suitable for use as a quantum bit, the fundamental logical unit in a quantum computer. Semiconductor quantum dots fabricated by strain driven self-assembly are particularly attractive for the realization of spin quantum bits, as they can be controllably positioned, electronically coupled and embedded into active devices. It has been predicted that the atomic-like electronic structure of such quantum dots suppresses coupling of the spin to the solid-state quantum dot environment, thus protecting the 'spin' quantum information against decoherence. Here we demonstrate a single electron spin memory device in which the electron spin can be programmed by frequency selective optical excitation. We use the device to prepare single electron spins in semiconductor quantum dots with a well defined orientation, and directly measure the intrinsic spin flip time and its dependence on magnetic field. A very long spin lifetime is obtained, with a lower limit of about 20 milliseconds at a magnetic field of 4 tesla and at 1 kelvin. 相似文献

Toll-like receptors (TLR) are pattern-recognition receptors that recognize a broad variety of structurally conserved molecules
derived from microbes. The recognition of TLR ligands functions as a primary sensor of the innate immune system, leading to
subsequent indirect activation of the adaptive immunity as well as none-immune cells. However, TLR are also expressed by several
T cell subsets, and the respective ligands can directly modulate their effector functions. The present review summarizes the
recent findings of γδ T cell modulation by TLR ligands. TLR1/2/6, 3, and 5 ligands can act directly in combination with T
cell receptor (TCR) stimulation to enhance cytokine/chemokine production of freshly isolated human γδ T cells. In contrast
to human γδ T cells, murine and bovine γδ T cells can directly respond to TLR2 ligands with increased proliferation and cytokine
production in a TCR-independent manner. Indirect stimulatory effects on IFN-γ production of human and murine γδ T cells via
TLR-ligand activated dendritic cells have been described for TLR2, 3, 4, 7, and 9 ligands. In addition, TLR3 and 7 ligands
indirectly increase tumor cell lysis by human γδ T cells, whereas ligation of TLR8 abolishes the suppressive activity of human
tumor-infiltrating Vδ1 γδ T cells on αβ T cells and dendritic cells. Taken together, these data suggest that TLR-mediated
signals received by γδ T cells enhance the initiation of adaptive immune responses during bacterial and viral infection directly
or indirectly. Moreover, TLR ligands enhance cytotoxic tumor responses of γδ T cells and regulate the suppressive capacity
of γδ T cells. 相似文献
