Aim: To construct the prokaryotic expression vector of human histone-1, obtain the purified GST-H1 protein, and detect its activity.

Methods: Human histone-1 coding region was amplified from human mammary cDNA library, and was inserted into prokaryotic expression vector pGEX-KG. The recombinant plasmid pGEX-KG-H1 was transformed into E.coli Rossate. The expressed product was purified by GST-Sepharose 4B beads and identified by SDS-PAGE and Western blot analysis.

Results: The DNA fragment of about 650 bp was successfully amplified by PCR, cloned into pGEX-KG, and identified by sequencing. The recombinant protein of about M(r); 52 000 was successfully induced, purified and tested well by Kinase assay.

Conclusion: The recombinant protein of GST-H1 is obtained successfully, which lay the foundation for further research on cell cycle control.

FGF2 is secreted in extracellular vesicles from lung cells.

Am J Physiol Lung Cell Mol Physiol

September 2024

Department of Pediatrics, University of Alabama at Birmingham, Birmingham, Alabama, United States.

The 18-kDa isoform of basic fibroblast growth factor (bFGF/FGF2) lacks a conventional signal peptide sequence and is exported by a novel membrane-associated transport pathway. Extracellular vesicles (EVs) are increasingly recognized as mediators of intercellular communication in the lung, and our prior work demonstrates that EVs carry cargo that contributes to hyperoxic lung injury and are biomarkers for bronchopulmonary dysplasia. We used primary human bronchial epithelial (HBE), pulmonary artery endothelial (HPAE), and fibroblast (HNF) cells to determine whether FGF2 was secreted in EVs.

Inflammation including immunothrombosis by neutrophil extracellular traps (NETs) has important implications in acute ischemic stroke and can affect reperfusion status, susceptibility to stroke associated infections (SAI) as well as functional clinical outcome. NETs were shown to be prevalent in stroke thrombi and NET associated markers were found in stroke patients' blood. However, little is known whether blood derived NET markers reflect the amount of NETs in thrombi.

Precise Targeting of Autoantigen-Specific B Cells in Lupus Nephritis with Chimeric Autoantibody Receptor T Cells.

Int J Mol Sci

April 2024

Rheumatology Research Group, Lupus Unit, Hospital Universitari Vall d'Hebron, Institut de Recerca (VHIR), Universitat Autònoma de Barcelona, 08035 Barcelona, Spain.

Despite conventional therapy, lupus nephritis (LN) remains a significant contributor to short- and long-term morbidity and mortality. B cell abnormalities and the production of autoantibodies against nuclear complexes like anti-dsDNA are recognised as key players in the pathogenesis of LN. To address the challenges of chronic immunosuppression associated with current therapies, we have engineered T cells to express chimeric autoantibody receptors (DNA-CAART) for the precise targeting of B cells expressing anti-dsDNA autoantibodies.

Article Synopsis
  • In steroid-responsive meningitis-arteritis (SRMA), a type of dog disease, special white blood cells called neutrophils cause inflammation in the brain and spinal cord.
  • The study aimed to find out if these neutrophils can form something called NETs (neutrophil extracellular traps) in the fluids from sick dogs.
  • Researchers found that NETs could be seen in some dogs with acute SRMA, but not in those recovering, suggesting that too many NETs could lead to more problems in dogs with this condition.
