Directional migration of leukocytes is indispensable to innate immunity for host defense. However, recruitment of leukocytes to a site of tissue injury the constitutes a leading cause for inflammatory responses. Mechanistically, it involves a cascade of cellular events precisely regulated by temporal and spatial present tation of a repertoire of molecules in the migrating leukocytes and their surroundings (microenvironments). Here I will summarize the emerging evidence that has shed lights on the underlying molecular mechanism for directional migration of leukocytes, which has guided the therapeutical development for innovative anti-inflammatory medicines.

The isoform type ofγsubunits of GABAA receptor is a molecular determinant of its pharmacological characteristics. At present, the existence of GABAA receptor in mammalian sperm is still a controversy. By using degenerate primers designed according to highly conserved region in all threeγ(γ1, γ2 andγ3) subunits cloned in rat brain, we performed reverse transcription polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR) to examine the expression pattern of -γsubunits of GABAA receptor in rat testis. Only one 370 bp fragment was obtained from RT-PCR in rat testis and sequencing results showed that it representedγ1 subunit, but notγ2 orγ3 subunit. Using the cloned fragment as probe, a 3.8 kb transcript which in size as same asγ1 ubunit in rat brain was detected in rat testis mRNA by performing Northern blot assay. Furthermore, results of in situ hybridization assay confirmed thatγ1 subunit was expressed in round spermatids and spermatozoa, maybe also in secondary spermatocyte. These evidences proved that 71 subunit of GABAA receptor is exclusively expressed in rat testis and this feature may be the structural basis of the specific function of GABAA receptors in sperm acrosome reaction.

Tbx6 is critical for somite specification and myogenesis initiation. It has been shown that Activin/Nodal, VegT/Nodal, FGF, and BMP signaling pathways are involved early in specifying mesoderm or later in patterning mesoderm, and Xnot plays roles in setting up the boundary between notochord and paraxial mesoderm. In this study, we introduce the dominant negative form of above genes into embryos to evaluate if they are responsible for regulating Tbx6 expression. The results show that: (1) Activin/Nodal and VegT/Nodal signals are necessary for both initiation and maintenance of Tbx6 expression, and Nodal is sufficient to induce ectopic Tbx6 expression; (2) FGF signal is necessary for the initiation and maintenance of Tbx6, but it is not sufficient to induce Tbx6 expression; (3) BMP is also necessary for the expression of Tbx6, and the induction of Tbx6 expression by BMP is dose dependent; (4) Xnot has no effect on the expression of Tbx6. Our results suggest that several signaling pathways are involved in regulating Tbx6 expression, and pave the route to reveal the molecular mechanism of initiating myogenesis.

Ribosome-inactivating proteins (RIPs) are a group of toxic proteins that can specifically act on the universally conserved sarcin/ricin domain (S/R domain) of the largest RNA in ribosome and thus irreversibly inactivate ribosome for protein synthesis. Cinnamomin is a multifunctional type II RIP isolated in our laboratory from the mature seeds of the camphor tree. This protein has been extensively studied with regard to its purification, characteristics, structure and function, genetic expression, enzymatic mechanism, physiological role in seed cell and toxicity to cancer cells and insect larvae. The research results of cinnamomin obtained in our laboratory are summarized in this review. Understanding of cinnamomin and the relative new proteins will help expand our knowledge of RIPs and may accelerate theoretical study and the development of their potential applications.

The ORF of genome segment 6 (S6) of rice ragged stunt oryzavirus (RRSV) Philippines isolate was cloned and sequenced based on the S6 sequence of the Thailand isolate. Pns6, the 71 kD product of S6 expressed in E. coli, was demonstrated to be a viral non-structural protein of RRSV by Western blotting. The gel mobility shift assays showed that Pns6 had nucleic acid binding activity. Pns6 could interact with single- and double-stranded forms of DNA and RNA, showing a preference for single-stranded nucleic acid and a slight preference for RRSV ssRNA over the rice ssRNA, as demonstrated by both competition and displacement assays. The binding of Pns6 to nucleic acids is strong and sequence non-specific. By using five truncated derivatives of Pns6, it was found that the basic region from amino acid 201 to 273 of Pns6 was the unique nucleic acid binding domain. Subcellular fractionation of leaf tissues of RRSV-infected rice plants and subsequent Western blotting had shown that Pns6 accumulated predominately in the cytoplasmic membrane fraction. The possible role of RRSV Pns6 in virus replication and assembly is discussed.

Trail, a tumor necrosis factor-related apoptosis-inducing ligand, is a novel potent endogenous activator of the cell death pathway through the activation of cell surface death receptors Trail-R1 and Trail-R2. Its role, like FasL in activation-induced cell death (AICD), has been demonstrated in immune system. However the mechanism of Trail induced apoptosis remains nuclear. In this report, the recombinant Trail protein was expressed and purified. The apoptosis-inducing activity and the regulation mechanism of recombinant Trail on Jurkat T cells were explored in vitro. Trypan blue exclusion assay demonstrated that the recombinant Trail protein actively killed Jurkat T cells in a dose-dependent manner. Trail-induced apoptosis in Jurkat T cells were remarkably reduced by Bcl-2 over expression in BcL-2 gene transfected cells. Treatment with PMA (phorbol 12-myristate 13-acetate), a PKC activator, suppressed nail-induced apoptosis in Jurkat T cells. The inhibition of apoptosis by PMA was abolished by pretreatment with Bis, a PKC inhibitor. Taken together, it was suggested that Bcl-2 over-expression and PMA activated PKC actively down-regulated the Trail-mediated apoptosis in Jurkat T cell.

In this study, eight preS1 fragments overlapped in preS1 (21–119) region of HBV adr subtype, i.e. preS1 (21–47), preS1 (34–59), preS1 (48–70), preS1 (60–85), preS1 (71–94), preS1 (86–109), preS1 (95–119) and preS1 (21–119), were cloned by PCR, and expressed as GST fusion proteins. These GST- preS1 fusion proteins were highly expressed in soluble form in E. coli, and about 50 to 90 mg soluble fusion proteins were purified from 1 L culture. Using these fusion proteins, the immunogenic domains in preS1 (21– 119) region were identified by Western blot analysis and competitive ELISA. The results showed that the immunogenic domains mainly existed in preS1 (21–59) in N-terminus and preS1 (95–109) in C-terminus, and more importantly, a major immunogenic domain preS1 (34–59), which has much stronger immunogenicity, was identified. It was also supported by the predictions of secondary structure and immunological property in the preS1 (21–119) region. The results here would be helpful for the design of new vaccines against HBV.

Asip is a mammalian homologue of polarity protein Par-3 of Caenorhabditis elegans and Bazooka of Drosophila melanogaster. Asip/Par-3/Bazooka are PDZ-motif containing proteins that localize asymmetrically to the cell periphery and play a pivotal role in cell polarity and asymmetric cell division. In the present study, we have cloned human asip cDNA and its splicing variants by 5’-RACE and RT-PCR using candidate human EST clones which have a high homology to rat asip cDNA. The full-length cDNA of human asip encodes a 1,353 aa protein exhibiting 88% similarity to the rat one. Human asip is a single copy gene consisting of at least 26 exons and localizing in human chromosome 10, band p11.2, with some extraordinarily long introns. All exon/intron boundary nucleotides conform to the "gt-ag" rule. Three main transcripts were detected by Northern blot analysis, and at least five variants, from alternative splicing and polyadenylation, have been identified by RT-PCR and liver cDNA library screening. Exon 17b deleted asip mRNAs expressed ubiquitously in normal human tissues, including liver, on RT-PCR analysis. However, they were absent from most human liver cancer cell lines examined. More interestingly, the expression of exon 1 7b deleted variants was down regulated in 52.6% (10/19) clinic specimens of human hepatocellular carcinomas (HCCs), compared with the surrounding nontumorous liver tissues from the same patients. The presence of various splicing transcripts, the variation of their distribution among different tissues and cells, and their differential expressions in human HCCs suggest that human Asip isoforms may function in different context.
