[Abstract]  Antigen-specific T cell-derived induced pluripotent stem cells (iPSCs) have been shown to re-differentiate into functional T cells and thus provide a potential source of T cells that could be useful for cancer immunotherapy. Human Vα24+ invariant natural killer T (Vα24+iNKT) cells are subset of T cells that are characterized by the expression of an invariant Vα24-Jα18 paired with Vβ11, that recognize glycolipids, such as α-galactosylceramide (α-GalCer), presented by the MHC class I-like molecule CD1d. Vα24+iNKT cells capable of producing IFN-γ are reported to augment anti-tumor responses, which affects both NK cells and CD8+ cytotoxic T lymphocytes to eliminate MHC- and MHC+ tumor cells, respectively. Here we describe a ... [摘要]  抗原特异性T细胞来源的诱导多能干细胞(iPSCs)已显示重新分化为功能性T细胞,从而提供可用于癌症免疫治疗的T细胞的潜在来源。不变性自然杀伤T(Vα24 + iNKT)细胞的人Vα24 + 细胞是T细胞的子集,其特征在于与Vβ11配对的不变Vα24-Jα18的表达,其识别糖脂,如α-半乳糖神经酰胺(α-GalCer),由MHC I类分子CD1d呈递。据报道能够产生IFN-γ的Vα24 + i / KT细胞增加抗肿瘤反应,其影响NK细胞和CD8 +细胞毒性T淋巴细胞以消除MHC - 和MHC + 肿瘤细胞。在这里,我们描述了将人Vα24 + iNKT细胞重编程到iPSC中的鲁棒方案,然后将其重新分化为Vα24 + iNKT细胞(iPS-Vα24功能的iNKT)。我们进一步提供了测定iPS-Vα24 + iNKT细胞活性的方案。背景 以前有报道说,针对晚期非小细胞肺癌(NSCLC)和头颈部癌症的Vα24 + iNKT细胞癌免疫治疗的临床试验显示疗效,耐受性良好(Motohashi et al。等人,2009; Yamasaki等人,2011)。然而,已知来自外周血单核细胞(PBMC)的Vα24 ...

[Abstract]  C. elegans has served as a genetically tractable multicellular model system to examine DNA damage-induced genotoxic stress which threatens genome integrity. Importantly, the high degree of conservation shared between worms and humans offers the advantage that findings about DNA damage-induced cell cycle arrest/checkpoint response and DNA double-strand break repair in worms are applicable to human studies. Here, we describe simple DNA damage sensitivity assays to quantify the response of C. elegans to diverse types of DNA damaging agents. These assays have provided important insights into the mechanisms of function for factors such as ZTF-8 that are involved in DNA damage repair and response in the C. elegans germline. These DNA damage sensitivity assays rely on ... [摘要]  C。 elegans 作为一种遗传易损的多细胞模型系统,以检查DNA损伤诱导的基因毒性应激,这威胁着基因组的完整性。重要的是,蠕虫和人类之间共享的高程度的保护提供了关于DNA损伤诱导的细胞周期停滞/检查点反应和DNA双链断裂修复蠕虫中的发现适用于人类研究的优势。在这里,我们描述简单的DNA损伤灵敏度测定以量化C的反应。 elegans 到各种类型的DNA损伤剂。这些测定提供了对涉及DNA损伤修复和在C中的应答的因子如ZTF-8的功能的机制的重要见解。 elegans 种系。这些DNA损伤敏感性测定依赖于卵或幼虫致死性的直接读出,并涉及使用各种DNA损伤剂。我们使用产生DNA双链断裂(DSB)的γ-照射(γ-IR),诱导单链断裂的喜树碱(CPT),氮芥(HN <2>),其产生链间交联(ICL),羟基脲(HU),其导致复制叉停止,从而防止DNA合成,和UV-C,其引起光产物(嘧啶二聚体)。参见表1.在例如突变体与野生型相比,在各种DNA损伤剂中观察到的相对灵敏度/抗性之间的比较允许关于潜在修复途径受影响的推论。
