Protein kinases mediate nitric oxide-induced apoptosis in the insect cell line IPLB-LdFB 总被引:2,自引:0,他引:2
The involvement of protein kinases (PKA, PKC and PKB) in nitric oxide (NO)-induced apoptosis with sodium nitroprusside plus
N-acetyl-L-cysteine in the IPLB-LdFB cell line from the insect Lymantria dispar was investigated. The presence of protein kinase-like molecules was demonstrated by western blot analysis. The role of the
kinases in programmed cell death was analysed in cytofluorimetric experiments by incubating the insect cells with H-89 (a
specific inhibitor of PKA), calphostin C (an inhibitor of PKC) or wortmannin (an inhibitor of phosphatidylinositol 3-kinase).
The results show that PKA is correlated with the induction and PKC and PKB with the prevention of NO-induced insect cell death.
Moreover, NO-induced apoptosis involves the release of cytochrome c.

Two-dimensional systems, such as ultrathin epitaxial films and superlattices, display magnetic properties distinct from bulk materials. A challenging aim of current research in magnetism is to explore structures of still lower dimensionality. As the dimensionality of a physical system is reduced, magnetic ordering tends to decrease as fluctuations become relatively more important. Spin lattice models predict that an infinite one-dimensional linear chain with short-range magnetic interactions spontaneously breaks up into segments with different orientation of the magnetization, thereby prohibiting long-range ferromagnetic order at a finite temperature. These models, however, do not take into account kinetic barriers to reaching equilibrium or interactions with the substrates that support the one-dimensional nanostructures. Here we demonstrate the existence of both short- and long-range ferromagnetic order for one-dimensional monatomic chains of Co constructed on a Pt substrate. We find evidence that the monatomic chains consist of thermally fluctuating segments of ferromagnetically coupled atoms which, below a threshold temperature, evolve into a ferromagnetic long-range-ordered state owing to the presence of anisotropy barriers. The Co chains are characterized by large localized orbital moments and correspondingly large magnetic anisotropy energies compared to two-dimensional films and bulk Co. 相似文献

An anti-Bcl-2 antibody prevents 2-deoxy-D-ribose-induced apoptosis in the IPLB-LdFB insect cell line

Confocal microscopy reveals that the anti-Bcl-2 antibody (pAb) is able to diffuse across the plasma membrane of the fat body
cell line IPLB-LdFB from the insect Lymantria dispar, demonstrating the presence of Bcl-2-like molecules in the cytoplasm. Immunoperoxidase procedure confirms the cellular localization.
Furthermore, an immunoprecipitation corresponding to a molecular weight of 29 KDa is observed with western blot analysis using
the anti-Bcl-2 pAb. Cytofluorimetric experiments show that anti-Bcl-2 pAb counteracts 2-deoxy-d-ribose-induced apoptosis and provokes morphological changes in the insect cell line, i.e. a reduction in cell size, the disappearance
of the vacuola and changes in shape. At the same time, the antibody provokes mitochondrial membrane depolarization, and N-acetyl-l-cysteine is unable to reconstitute the physiological conditions. The present findings suggest that Bcl-2-like proteins play
a main role in maintaining of the integrity of cellular components, e.g. mitochondria, rather than in controlling programmed
cell death.

Immunomodulation by recombinant human interleukin-8 and its signal transduction pathways in invertebrate hemocytes 总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1
Ottaviani E Franchini A Malagoli D Genedani S 《Cellular and molecular life sciences : CMLS》2000,57(3):506-513
We report the presence of interleukin (IL)-8-immunoreactive molecules in hemocytes from the mollusc Mytilus galloprovincialis. Functional studies demonstrate that recombinant human (rh)IL-8 provokes conformational changes, induces chemotaxis, and increases bacterial phagocytic activity in hemocytes. rhIL-8 induces cell shape changes via protein kinase A and C pathways. These morphological changes are followed by reorganization of the actin microfilaments. The findings suggest that, as previously reported for other cytokines, IL-8 is well conserved and deeply involved in immune functions from invertebrates to mammals. 相似文献
