[Abstract]  Cellular infection with tick-borne flaviviruses (TBFVs) results in activation of the interferon (IFN) signaling pathway and subsequent upregulation of numerous genes termed IFN stimulated genes (ISGs) (Schoggins et al., 2011). Many ISGs function to prevent virus pathogenesis by acting in a broad or specific manner through protein-protein interactions (Duggal and Emerman, 2012). The potency of the IFN signaling response determines the outcome of TBFV infection (Best, 2017; Carletti et al., 2017). Interestingly, data from our lab show that TBFV replication is significantly restricted in cells of the reservoir species Peromyscus leucopus thereby suggesting a potent antiviral response (Izuogu et al., 2017). We assessed the relative contribution of IFN ... [摘要]  蜱传黄热病病毒(TBFV)的细胞感染导致干扰素(IFN)信号传导途径的激活和随后称为IFN刺激基因(ISG)(Schoggins等人,2011)的众多基因的上调。许多ISG通过蛋白质 - 蛋白质相互作用以广泛或特定的方式起作用来防止病毒发病(Duggal和Emerman,2012)。 IFN信号反应的效力决定了TBFV感染的结果(Best,2016; Carletti等人,2017)。有趣的是,我们实验室的数据显示TBFV复制在储库物种Peromyscus leucopus的细胞中显着受到限制,从而表明有效的抗病毒应答(Izuogu等人,2017)。我们评估干扰素信号对抗性的相对贡献。通过敲低IFN反应途径中的主要转录因子来抑制白血病。信号转导和转录激活因子1(STAT1)是专门针对在P。 leucopus细胞通过shRNA技术。我们进一步测试了基因敲低对细胞对IFN反应和限制病毒复制的能力的影响;结果表明当STAT1表达被改变时,leucopus细胞对IFN刺激的反应降低,并且对TBFV复制显着更敏感。

【背景】IFN信号是抵抗侵入宿主细胞的黄病毒的第一道防线(Robertson等人,2009; Lazear和Diamond,2015)。通过模式识别受体(PRR)检测与病毒颗粒相关的分子标记,然后通过转录因子引发下游信号从细胞释放1型IFN(Kawai ...

Analyzing the Properties of Murine Intestinal Mucins by Electrophoresis and Histology

[Abstract]  Specialized secretory cells known as goblet cells in the intestine and respiratory epithelium are responsible for the secretion of mucins. Mucins are large heavily glycosylated proteins and typically have a molecular mass higher than 106 Da. These large proteins are densely substituted with short glycan chains, which have many important functional roles including determining the hydration and viscoelastic properties of the mucus gel that lines and protects the intestinal epithelium. In this protocol, we comprehensively describe the method for extraction of murine mucus and its analysis by agarose gel electrophoresis. Additionally we describe the use of High Iron Diamine-Alcian Blue, Periodic Acid Schiff’s-Alcian Blue and immune–staining methods to identify and differentiate ... [摘要]  在肠和呼吸上皮中称为杯状细胞的专门分泌细胞负责粘蛋白的分泌。 粘蛋白是大的重糖基化蛋白质,通常具有高于10μM的分子量。 这些大蛋白质被短聚糖链密集取代,其具有许多重要的功能作用,包括测定粘液凝胶的水合和粘弹性质,其保护肠上皮。 在该方案中,我们全面地描述了通过琼脂糖凝胶电泳提取小鼠粘液的方法及其分析。 此外,我们描述了使用高铁二胺 - 阿尔星蓝,周期酸席夫氏 - 阿尔辛蓝和免疫染色方法来鉴别和区分这些粘蛋白糖蛋白上糖基化的不同状态,特别是侧重于硫酸化和唾液酸化。
【背景】一层粘液保护肠上皮,主要由粘蛋白,水,蛋白质和无机盐组成。粘液屏障的粘性和凝胶状特性使其能够物理保护和润滑粘膜,主要由粘蛋白赋予。粘蛋白是大的重糖基化蛋白质,通常具有高于10μM的分子量。然而,粘蛋白主要用O-聚糖糖装饰,其占分子量的80%。不同的位点特异性和粘蛋白特异性糖基化模式影响粘蛋白和粘液凝胶的性质。众所周知,粘蛋白糖基化在感染和疾病中发生改变(Arike等人,2017; ...
