HSVTK gene therapy for carcinoembryonic antigen-producing human lung cancer cells

The long-term success of gene therapy for cancer relies heavily on the development of effective targeting systems. We investigate the possibility of targeted gene therapy using promoter of carcinoembryonic antigen (CEA) gene. By using luciferase reporter gene, we found that CEA promoter exhibit 16 times high activity in CEA-producing lung cancer cells, A549 than in nonproducing cells, Hela. We also constructed a recombinant expression plasmid pCEATK, in which CEA promoter drives the effector gene, thymidine kinase gene of Herpes Simplex Virus (HSVTK). A549 cells transfected with pCEATK became 865 times more sensitive to ganciclovir (GCV) than the control cells. However, Hela cells transfected with this plasmid remained resistant to GCV. These data indicate the potential for targeted gene therapy using the CEA promoter against CEA-producing tumor cells, such as lung cancer cells.

If phosphatases go up, memory goes down

Previous work has provided conclusive support for a role of various protein kinases in processes underlying learning and memory formation. While these processes are not yet established in full detail, it is interesting to entertain the idea of protein phosphatases being involved in such mechanisms as well. Recent advances in this respect have provided preliminary support of this view. From the pharmacological as well as the transgenic analysis, it appears that especially the calcineurin/inhibitor-1 cascade plays an important role in the transition of intermediate-term into long-term memory formation.     

大鼠实验性甲亢心肌内肌酸激酶变化的免疫组化研究

以药物诱导的方法建立了大鼠实验性甲亢模型，并以该模型心肌切片进行了免疫组化染色检测肌酸激酶。结果显示，随着甲亢病程的延长，着色呈现酶含量降低，酶活性减少的变化。实验证实甲亢时心肌呈现渐进性缺血过程。

为构建c-Jun氨基末端激酶3 (c-Jun N-terminal kinase3,JNK3)的p VP16-eGFP-Myc-JNK3活化环(activation-loop,A-loop)结构域突变型重组质粒,通过A-loop突变型JNK3的c DNA序列以及p VP16-eGFP-Myc的酶切位点设计引物,PCR扩增目的基因,使用限制性内切酶Mlu I与Xba I将基因克隆到p VP16-eGFP-Myc真核表达载体中,构建p VP16-eGFP-Myc-JNK3(A-loop)结构域突变型重组质粒。转化后,通过双酶切鉴定与DNA测序判断是否成功构建重组质粒,使用Trans IntroTMEL Transfection Reagent转染人胚肾(human emborynic kidney,HEK) 293T细胞,通过荧光显微镜下观察融合蛋白表达情况。结果表明:构建p VP16-eGFP-Myc-JNK3 (A-loop)结构域突变型重组质粒,双酶切鉴定和测序结果显示构建成功; p VP16-eGFP-MycJNK3 (A-loop)成功转染HEK293T细胞且表达。鼠源JNK3结构域突变型质粒构建成功,对进一步研究JNK3结构域在相关疾病的作用和机制提供实验工具。     

Cloning and molecular characterization of a gene encoding MAP kinase from maize and its expression in E. coli

A new MAPK gene, ZmSIMK1 （Zea mays L. salt-induced mitogen-activated protein kinase 1）, is isolatod from a maize eDNA library. The full-length ZmSIMK1 gene contains 1636 bp and an open reading frame of 1122 nucleotides capable of eneoding 373 amino acid polypeptides with a predicted molecular mass of 42.3 kda and pI of 6.01. The putative ZmSIMK1 protein contains all 11 conserved subdomains that are characteristics of serine/threonine protein kinases and the TEY motif, which is the putative phosphorylation site. Northern blot analysis shows that ZmSIMK1 is ubiquitously expressed in roots, stems, and leaves of maize seedlings and its mRNA accumulation is observed in maize seedlings treated with 30 mmol/L PEG-6000 and 137 mmol/L NaCl, but the expression of ZmSIMK1 is not significantly affected by 4℃ treatment. The expression vector pET-ZmSIMK1 is constructed by inserting the coding region of ZmSIMK1 eDNA into pET-42a（＋）, and transformed into E. coli strain BL21（DE3）. A 77kda fusion protein is induced by the further culture at 37℃ after addition of 1 mmol/L IPTG.     

Immunohistochemical localization of Ca2+/calmodulin-dependent kinase in tobacco

The existence of Ca²⁺/calmodulin-dependent kinase (CaM kinase, CaMK) in tobacco is verified immuno- logically and its distribution in different tissues of tobacco is studied. It has been demonstrated that CaMK is mainly distributed in early developing anthers, developing ovules and embryos, lateral root primordium, apical meristem and leaf primordium of buds and mesophyll cells and developing vascular bundles of leaves. There is enormous CaM kinase distributed in leaf epidermis fair cells and guard cells of stomas too. Little kinase is found in mature stem or root cells. The distribution properties of CaM kinase in tobacco are consistent with those of CaM, suggesting that there exists the Ca²⁺ signal transduction pathway mediated by CaM kinase in tobacco and it plays an important role in the plant growth and development.     

Non-radioisotopic method for thein vitro measurement of EGF receptor tyrosine kinase

A non-radioisotopic method was developed for the assay of epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR). A peptide with twenty amino acid residues around Tyr 1173, the major phosphorylation site of EGFR, was cloned as a GST fusion protein and used as substrate. Anti-phosphoty-rosine monoclonal antibody PY99 was used for the determination of the extent of phosphorylation. Both the specificity and the sensitivity were substantially higher than that of the existing method. Km value of the fusion protein is much lower (10 μmol/L) than that of the synthetic peptide (110 μmol/L). The method can be applied to the measurement of the tyrosine kinase activity of c-erb B2 (Neu/HER2).
