- 菌类学 菌类学是指菌类学.
- 免疫学 免疫学 免疫学
- 分子生物学分子生物学
背景情况:
- 真菌免疫调节蛋白 (FIP) 具有显著的免疫调节作用.
- 来自Nectria haematococca的FIP-nha显示出热稳定性和抗瘤活性,但其巨细胞相互作用机制尚不清楚.
- 在FIP-nha中的糖化位可能会影响其生物功能.
研究的目的:
- 研究FIP-nha对巨细胞的免疫调节活性.
- 阐明FIP-nha诱导的巨细胞激活背后的机制.
- 确定糖化在FIP-nha的免疫调节功能中的作用.
主要方法:
- 在Pichia pastoris*中,FIP-nha甘氨酸突变体 (N5A,N39A,N5+39A) 的重组表达.
- 评估THP-1巨细胞化,细胞因子分泌 (IL-1β,IL-12,IL-10) 和基因表达.
- 使用THP1-KO-ASC细胞和抑制剂,分析炎症酶 (NLRP1,NLRP3,NLRC4,AIM2) 激活和对ASC信号通路的依赖.
主要成果:
- 再组合的FIP-nha及其甘氨酸突变物减少了巨细胞化,但显著诱导了前炎性细胞因子分泌 (IL-1β,IL-12,IL-10).
- 野生类型FIP-nha与其甘氨酸突变体之间没有观察到免疫调节活性的显著差异,这表明了独立于糖化酶的机制.

Immune Surveillance by NK Cells and Phagocytes
954
Immune surveillance is an integral part of the innate immune system, involving the continuous monitoring of peripheral tissues to detect and respond to pathogens, infected cells, or cancerous cells. This surveillance is conducted primarily by natural killer (NK) cells and phagocytes, which employ distinct but complementary mechanisms to identify and eliminate threats.

NF-κB-dependent Signaling Pathway
7.2K
The transcription factor NF-κB was discovered in 1986 in the lab of Nobel laureate Professor David Baltimore, for its interaction with the immunoglobulin light chain enhancer in B-cells. After more than three decades of study, it is now evident that NF-κB regulates the expression of over 100 genes. Most of these genes play an essential role in the innate and adaptive immune responses as well as the inflammatory responses of animals.
