An in vitro Co-culture System for the Activation of CD40 by Membrane-presented CD40 Ligand versus Soluble Agonist

[Abstract]  One fundamental property of the TNR receptor (TNFR) family relates to how ‘signal quality’ (the extent of receptor ligation or cross-linking) influences the outcome of receptor ligation, for instance the induction of death in tumour cells. It is unequivocal that membrane-presented ligand (delivered to target cells via cell-surface presentation by co-culture with ligand-expressing third-party cells) induces a greater extent of carcinoma cell death in vitro in comparison to non-cross-linked agonists (agonistic antibodies and/or recombinant ligands). The CD40 receptor epitomises this fundamental property of TNF receptor-ligand interactions, as the extent of CD40 cross-linking dictates cell fate. Membrane-presented CD40 ligand (mCD40L), but not soluble agonists (e.g., ... [摘要]  TNR受体(TNFR)家族的一个基本特性涉及“信号质量”(受体连接或交联的程度)如何影响受体连接的结果,例如肿瘤细胞中的死亡诱导。毫无疑问,膜呈递配体(通过与表达配体的第三方细胞共培养通过细胞表面呈递递送至靶细胞)在体外诱导更大程度的癌细胞死亡非交联激动剂(激动性抗体和/或重组配体)。 CD40受体集中体现了TNF受体 - 配体相互作用的这种基本特性,因为CD40交联的程度决定了细胞命运。膜呈递CD40配体(mCD40L),但不是可溶性激动剂(例如,激动性抗CD40抗体),诱导高水平的促炎细胞因子分泌并导致恶性肿瘤细胞广泛死亡(细胞凋亡)但不是正常的)上皮细胞。在本文中,我们描述了通过mCD40L激活CD40并随后检测细胞凋亡的各种特征(包括细胞膜透化,DNA片段化,半胱天冬酶活化)以及细胞内细胞死亡介质检测的共培养系统(包括衔接蛋白,促凋亡激酶和活性氧,ROS)。

【背景】TNFR及其配体在调节淋巴组织以及上皮(尤其是癌)细胞中的细胞增殖或死亡中的作用已经在广泛研究中,因为它们诱导细胞死亡(主要通过细胞凋亡)的能力代表了有希望的目标。用于癌症治疗。然而,重要的是,当以可溶性对膜结合形式存在时,TNFR激动剂引发细胞死亡的能力存在明显差异。当作为单独治疗施用时,可溶性激动剂通常表现出相对低的细胞毒性效力,而膜呈递的配体似乎是优越的(Albarbar ...

An Affinity-directed Protein Missile (AdPROM) System for Targeted Destruction of Endogenous Proteins

[Abstract]  We recently reported an Affinity-directed PROtein Missile (AdPROM) system for the targeted proteolysis of endogenous proteins of interest (POI) (Fulcher et al., 2016 and 2017). AdPROM consists of the Von Hippel Lindau (VHL) protein, a Cullin 2 E3 ligase substrate receptor (Bosu and Kipreos, 2008), conjugated to a high affinity polypeptide binder (such as a camelid nanobody) that recognises the target protein in cells. When introduced in cells, the target protein is recruited to the CUL2 E3 ubiquitin ligase complex for ubiquitin-mediated proteasomal degradation. For target protein recruitment, we have utilised both camelid-derived VHH domain nanobodies as well as synthetic polypeptide monobodies based on the human type III fibronectin domain (Sha et al., 2013; Fridy et ... [摘要]  我们最近报道了一种针对内源性感兴趣蛋白(POI)的靶向蛋白水解的亲和指导PROtein导弹(AdPROM)系统(Fulcher等人,2016和2017)。 AdPROM由Von Hippel Lindau(VHL)蛋白组成,Cullin 2 E3连接酶底物受体(Bosu and Kipreos,2008),与识别细胞中靶蛋白的高亲和力多肽结合剂(如骆驼科纳米抗体)缀合。当在细胞中引入时,靶蛋白质被招募到CUL2 E3泛素连接酶复合体用于泛素介导的蛋白酶体降解。对于靶蛋白的募集,我们使用了基于人类III型纤连蛋白结构域的骆驼科动物来源的VHH结构域纳米抗体以及合成多肽单体(Sharm等人,2013; Fridy等人。,2014; Schmidt et al。,2016)。在此协议中,我们描述了生成AdPROM构建体及其在人细胞系中用于靶蛋白质破坏的详细方法。 AdPROM允许对POI进行功能表征,并且其目标蛋白质破坏的效率克服了RNA干扰方法的许多局限性,这些方法需要长时间的治疗并与脱靶效应相关联,而CRISPR / Cas9基因编辑并不总是可行的。
【背景】该协议使人们能够在哺乳动物细胞系中设计,构建和表达AdPROM VHL-nano ...

Qualitative and Quantitative Assay for Detection of Circulating Autoantibodies against Human Aortic Antigen

[Abstract]  Increased amount of autoantibodies in human sera are the hallmark of autoimmune diseases (Wang et al., 2015). In case of known antigen, detection of autoantibodies is done using laboratory based methods. However, in most autoimmune diseases, knowledge of self-antigen is still vague. We have developed an ELISA-based quantitative assay to detect the presence of autoantibodies as well as to measure the circulating autoantibodies in the sera of patients suffering from large vessel vasculitis (LVV), an autoimmune disease (Chakravarti et al., 2015). Using this assay, we detected the increase in anti-aortic antibodies in LVV patient’s sera. We have further verified the results by independent biochemical techniques and found the specificity to be > 94% (Chakravarti et al. ... [摘要]  人血清中自身抗体量的增加是自身免疫性疾病的标志(Wang等人,2015)。 在已知抗原的情况下,使用基于实验室的方法检测自身抗体。 然而,在大多数自身免疫性疾病中,自身抗原的知识仍然是模糊的。 我们已经开发了基于ELISA的定量测定法来检测自身抗体的存在以及测量患有大血管血管炎(LVV),自身免疫疾病(Chakravarti等人)的患者的血清中的循环自身抗体, ,2015)。 使用该测定,我们检测到LVV患者血清中抗主动脉抗体的增加。 我们通过独立生物化学技术进一步验证了结果,发现特异度 94%(Chakravarti等人,2015)。 该方法可以被独特地修改以适应任何自身免疫,特别是器官特异性疾病,因此在自身抗体的检测和定量中具有更广泛的应用。
【背景】约有80-100种自身免疫性疾病,其中免疫细胞将自身蛋白识别为外源抗原,并被激活以产生体液应答。尽管大多数自​​身免疫性疾病的触发因素仍然是一个谜,患者血清中存在较高水平的抗体是非常普遍的(Wang等人,2015)。一些实例包括抗小血管血管炎中的嗜中性粒细胞胞浆抗原,多发性硬化中的髓磷脂碱性蛋白,1型糖尿病中的谷氨酸脱羧酶等。(Wang等人, ...
