Epstein-Barr virus-induced gene 2 (EBI2, also known as GPR183) is a G-protein-coupled receptor that is required for humoral immune responses; polymorphisms in the receptor have been associated with inflammatory autoimmune diseases. The natural ligand for EBI2 has been unknown. Here we describe the identification of 7α,25-dihydroxycholesterol (also called 7α,25-OHC or 5-cholesten-3β,7α,25-triol) as a potent and selective agonist of EBI2. Functional activation of human EBI2 by 7α,25-OHC and closely related oxysterols was verified by monitoring second messenger readouts and saturable, high-affinity radioligand binding. Furthermore, we find that 7α,25-OHC and closely related oxysterols act as chemoattractants for immune cells expressing EBI2 by directing cell migration in vitro and in vivo. A critical enzyme required for the generation of 7α,25-OHC is cholesterol 25-hydroxylase (CH25H). Similar to EBI2 receptor knockout mice, mice deficient in CH25H fail to position activated B cells within the spleen to the outer follicle and mount a reduced plasma cell response after an immune challenge. This demonstrates that CH25H generates EBI2 biological activity in vivo and indicates that the EBI2-oxysterol signalling pathway has an important role in the adaptive immune response. 相似文献

A comparative study of the dissociation into subunits of Porcine alpha2 M, either native or bound to trypsin (Tn), has been carried out in order to determine the modifications of the alpha2 M structure due to the formation of the Tn-alpha2 M complex. Analytical ultra-centrifugation at pH 3.5 shows that the dissociation is smaller when alpha 2 M is bound to trypsin. Electrophoresis in 4% polyacrylamide gels, in presence of 0.1% SDS, of alpha2 M and Tn-alpha2 M incubated in 1% SDS leads to the same conclusion; the enzyme must stabilize the quaternay structure of alpha2 M. In presence of SDS + beta-mercaptoethanol, only a molecular weight (M.W.) 200,000 band is revealed in electrophoresis pattern of native alpha2 M. In the case of reduced Tn-alpha2 M, some other bands of M.W. 100,000, 50,000, 30,000 appear. When trypsin is inactivated by TLCK 100,000 M.W. band is present, accompanied by the 200,000 M.W. band whose intensity is function of the alpha2 M concentration. The 100,000 M.W. band appears therefore characteristic of the formation of the complex which must imply a proteolytic cleavage in the middle of the 100,000 polypeptidic chain of alpha2 M. A model of the complex is proposed in which the enzyme forms a proteic bridge between the two halves of the alpha2 M molecule. 相似文献

Summary By comparative histochemical and clinical tests, it was shown that the therapeutic effect of dithranol in the treatment of psoriasis was not due to an unspecific oxydation-reduction reaction nor probably an inflammatory reaction in the skin. Dithranol was shown to be an effective cytostaticum by means of the regeneration test (utilizing the larva of theXenopus laevis). It can be surmised that chrysarobine, because of its analogous structure, has the same properties as dithranol. 相似文献
