- 分子生物学分子生物学
- 病原体与宿主之间的相互作用
背景情况:
- 斑点性发烧 (Rickettsiosis) 正在增加,通过影响大脑和肺组织,导致严重的疾病.
- 之前已经表明,感染瑞凯菌的内皮细胞衍生外体 (R-ECExos) 含有特定的微RNA (miRNA).
- 在接受微血管内皮细胞 (MECs) 中,R-ECExos诱导屏障功能障碍的机制尚不清楚.
研究的目的:
- 在接受MECs中研究R-ECExos诱导的屏障功能障碍的分子机制.
- 确定外体RNA载荷在调解R-ECExos效应中的作用.
- 识别R-ECExos中丰富的特定miRNA及其潜在的分类机制.
主要方法:
- 用来自Rickettsia parkeri感染的人类皮肤MECs的R-ECExos治疗接受者的肺MECs (PMECs).
- 在接受者PMEC中评估VE-cadherin表达和细胞屏障功能.
- 在母MEC和R-ECExos中量化miRNA水平.
- 对miRNA序列的生物信息分析以确定共同的动机.
主要成果:

- 屏障功能障碍取决于R-ECExos的外体RNA含量.
- 与微血管病相关的miR23a-27a-24集群和miR30b被选择性地丰富R-ECExos.
- 在感染后的母皮MEC中没有观察到miRNA水平的显著差异.
- 在选择性丰富的外体miRNA中确定了常见的序列动机 (ACA,UCA,CAG).
结论:
- R-ECExos可以选择性地丰富特定的miRNA,包括miR23a-27a-24集群和miR30b.
- 这些丰富的miRNAs有助于R-ECExos诱导的微血管内皮细胞屏障功能障碍.
- 这些miRNA中的序列动图可能在它们被选择性地分类为外体体中发挥作用.
- 需要进一步的研究,以阐明miRNA分类的精确机制及其在皮病感染中的功能后果.

Intracellular Movement of Viruses and Bacteria
2.9K
Intracellular bacteria and viruses often comprise a group of highly infectious pathogens that can cause several diseases. Bacterial pathogens include those belonging to the genus Rickettsia responsible for conditions such as rocky mountain spotted fever and the Mediterranean spotted fever; Chlamydia, a genus responsible for a sexually transmitted disease; Coxiella burnetii, an agent responsible for Q fever. Viral pathogens include vaccinia—a poxvirus, and herpes simplex virus—a...

During most eukaryotic translation processes, the small 40S ribosome subunit scans an mRNA from its 5' end until it encounters the first start AUG codon. The large 60S ribosomal subunit then joins the smaller one to initiate protein synthesis. The location of the translation initiation is largely determined by the nucleotides near the start codon as there may be multiple translation initiation sites present on the mRNA. Marilyn Kozak discovered that the sequence RCCAUGG (where R...
