RESUMO
Objective@#To construct a Tat-dependent MazF expression vector pcDNA3.1-GFP-HA-MazF-U3TAR.@*Methods@#HIV-1 U3TAR and MazF gene were amplified from pCR2.1-U3TAR and pET28a-MazF, respectively. Two gene fragments were linked together to form U3TAR-MazF by an overlapping PCR, and then cloned into pMD18T. An N-terminal HA tag was added to MazF to form U3TAR-MazF-HA. After double enzyme digestion using EcoR I and Hind Ⅲ, U3TAR-MazF-HA was reversely inserted into pcDNA 3.1 to form pcDNA3.1-HA-MazF-U3TAR. Then, a fluorescent reporter gene GFP was inserted into the downstream of U3TAR to form pcDNA3.1-GFP-HA-MazF-U3TAR.@*Results@#The co-transfection experiments with pcDNA3.1-tat-flag showed that pcDNA3.1-GFP-HA-MazF-U3TAR is Tat dependent. MazF was expressed only under the presence of Tat. In addition, compared with the cells transfected with pcDNA3.1-GFP-HA-MazF-U3TAR, less green fluorescent signal was observed in the cells co-transfected with pcDNA3.1-GFP-HA-MazF-U3TAR and pcDNA3.1-tat-flag, indicating that expressed MazF down-regulated the expression of GFP.@*Conclusions@#The expression vector pcDNA3.1-GFP-HA-MazF-U3TAR will provide an important tool for the development of MazF-based AIDS gene therapy strategies.
RESUMO
Proteomic analysis is an effective way to identify protein constituent in Lewy bedy-like inclusions (or aggresome) in vitro. Exposure to synthetic proteasome inhibitor (PSI, 10 μmol/L) for 48 hours was used to induce the formation of cytoplasmic proteineous inclusions (termed as PSi-induced inclusions) in PC12 cells.The proteomic approaches of biochemical fractionation, two-dimensional electrophoresis (2-D) and identification via peptide mass fingerprints (PMF) were deployed, and 20 protein components of LBs were identified,i ncluding 2 proteins involved in the production of synaptic neurotransmitter, 6 subunits of the 26 S proteasome,2 cytoskeleton proteins, 2 subunits of mitochondrial complexes, 1 anti-oxidant protein, and 7 chaperone proteins and (or) chaperone-like proteins. The results suggested that these LB protein components might had been recruited in PSI-induced inclusions formed in PC12 cells under the condition of proteasome inhibition.
RESUMO
Lewy body (LB), an eosinophilic inclusion localized in the neuronal perikaryon, consists of a wide range of proteins, including the consistent organization and the selective composition. Treatment of PC12 cells with synthetic proteasome inhibitor (PSI) at 10 μmol/L for 48 hours induced the formation of inclusions, which were detected by eosin staining and immunostaining for α-synuclein. To investigate the potential new components of PSI-induced inclusions in vitro, pure intact inclusions were successfully obtained by fractionation and subjected to two-dimensional electrophoresis (2-DE) then analyzed with unequivocal matrixassisted laser desorption/ionization time-of-flight mass spectrometry (MALDI-TOF MS). Eukaryotic translation initiation factor 3 subunit 5 (eIF-3ε), eukaryotic elongation factor 2 (eEF-2) and mitochondrial elongation factor Tu (EF-Tumt) were identified. The results suggest that 3 eukaryotic translation factors recruited in PSI-induced inclusions may influence formation of the intermediate organelles following the inhibition of proteasomes.
RESUMO
Objective To investigate the pathogenetic mechanism of ubiquitin-proteasome dysfunction in a model of Parkinson's disease(PD),which can provide the theoretical basis for PD.Methods After establishment of PD model induced by PSI in PC12 cells,proteins of untreated(DMSO) and PSI-treated PC12 cells were extracted 36 h after incubation,and then the maps of the extracted proteins were established by DIGE system.The altered protein spots were identified with MALDI-TOF Pro MS and database searching.Results Thirty-six treatment of PC12 cells with PSI induced the appearance of cytoplasmic Lewy body-like eosinophilic inclusions and apoptosis.The percentage of apoptotic cells was 25.53%.ERp29 were identified by MALDITOF Pro MS.The expression of ERp29 decreased in treatment group,compared with normal group(P
