DNA vaccines consisted of tumor-associated antigen (TAA) are well suited for immunotherapy against tumor. The construct can
contain TAA fused to an appropriate molecule (biologic adjuvant) to improve the efficacy of anti-tumor immune response. Heat
shock protein 70 (HSP70) has been shown to be an excellent candidate, capable of cross-priming TAA by antigen presenting cells
leading to a robust T-cell response. However, the relationship between strong T-cell responses and tumor rejection is not
always mutually exclusive, for which TAA loss or activation of suppressive mechanisms may occur. HSP70 fused to downstream
of Her2/neu as DNA vaccine has been shown to be efficient against Her2-expressing tumors. In this study, we examined if N-terminally
fusion of Her2/neu to HSP70 could also improve efficiency of Her2/neu DNA vaccine. Therefore, mice with an established Her2/neu
expressing tumor were immunized with DNA vaccine consisting of extracellular and trans-membrane domain (EC+TM) of rat Her2/neu
alone or N-terminally fused to HSP70 and immune response was evaluated. Administration of rat Her2/neu led to partial control
of tumor progression. Surprisingly, fusion of HSP70 to N-terminal of rat Her2/neu led to tumor progression. Our result proposes
that fusion direction of biologic adjuvant is an important consideration when Her2/neu is used. 相似文献

Objectives
To improve the production and activity of an alkaline zinc metalloprotease from Salinivibrio proteolyticus in response to ZnSO4 (ionic and nanoparticle forms) and low intensity direct electric current (LIDC).Results
A DC of 50 µA for 10 min increased enzyme production from 35 to 53 U ml?1 when applied to the stationary phase bacterial cells. Zn2+ improved enzyme production better than zinc nanoparticles (52 vs. 43.5 U ml?1). Zinc nanoparticles (0.5 mM) added to an enzyme reaction mixture containing casein (0.65 %) and 20 mM Tris/HCl buffer (pH 8) improved enzyme activity more than Zn2+ (42 vs. 36 U ml?1).Conclusion
LIDC exposure (50 µA, 10 min) to the stationary phase bacterial cells increases metalloprotease production in Salinivibrio. A low concentration of zinc nanoparticles (0.5 mM) increases maximum enzyme activity.5.
In an attempt to increase tolerance to salinity stress in tobacco plants, the genes encoding the mutant form of glutamyl kinase
(proB), pyrroline-5-carboxylate synthetase, and osmotin were cloned into three different shuttle vectors and were separately introduced
into the tobacco plants. The transgenic lines were compared for their ability to produce shoots and grow in MS medium containing
320 mM NaCl; it was shown that the transgenic lines containing genetically handled osmotin gene are more resistant to salinity. The amount of chlorophyll a was used to show continuing growth of plant lines. The results showed that only the tobacco lines transformed with the modified
osmotin gene exhibited greater tolerance to salinity.

Distinguishing the multiple effects of reactive oxygen species (ROS) on cancer cells is important to understand their role in tumour biology. On one side, ROS can be oncogenic by promoting hypoxic conditions, genomic instability and tumorigenesis. Conversely, elevated levels of ROS‐induced oxidative stress can induce cancer cell death. This is evidenced by the conflicting results of research using antioxidant therapy, which in some cases promoted tumour growth and metastasis. However, some antioxidative or ROS‐mediated oxidative therapies have also yielded beneficial effects. To better define the effects of oxidative stress, in vitro experiments were conducted on 4T1 and splenic mononuclear cells (MNCs) under hypoxic and normoxic conditions. Furthermore, hydrogen peroxide (H2O2; 10–1,000 μM) was used as an ROS source alone or in combination with hyaluronic acid (HA), which is frequently used as drug delivery vehicle. Our result indicated that the treatment of cancer cells with H2O2 + HA was significantly more effective than H2O2 alone. In addition, treatment with H2O2 + HA led to increased apoptosis, decreased proliferation, and multiphase cell cycle arrest in 4T1 cells in a dose‐dependent manner under normoxic or hypoxic conditions. As a result, migratory tendency and the messenger RNA levels of vascular endothelial growth factor, matrix metalloproteinase‐2 (MMP‐2), and MMP‐9 were significantly decreased in 4T1 cells. Of note, HA treatment combined with 100–1,000 μM H2O2 caused more damage to MNCs as compared to treatment with lower concentrations (10–50 μM). Based on these results, we propose to administer high‐dose H2O2 + HA (100–1000 μM) for intratumoural injection and low doses for systemic administration. Intratumoural route could have toxic and inhibitory effects not only on the tumour but also on residential myeloid cells defending it, whereas systemic treatment could stimulate peripheral immune responses against the tumour. More in vivo research is required to confirm this hypothesis. 相似文献

AbstractThe costly media, inconsistent ligand density, ligand leakage, and possible destabilization of recombinant hepatitis B surface antigen (rHBsAg) particles are main drawbacks of using immunoaffinity chromatography (IAF) in the large-scale downstream processing. In this study, we aimed to use an efficient large-scale purification system as an alternative purification method for immunoaffinity chromatography. For this purpose, we suggested integrating non-affinity chromatographic methods of hydrophobic interaction chromatography (HIC) and size-exclusion chromatography (SEC) for cost-effective purification of rHBsAg expressed in P. pastoris. The optimization of such process is not trivial and straightforward since diverse molecular characteristics of expressed rHBsAg in each type of host cell cause different interactions in non-affinity chromatography processes. The working buffer composition and chromatography parameters are the most influential factors in hydrophobic interaction chromatography. The best result for lab-scale HIC was achieved by using ammonium sulfate buffer in 10% of saturation concentration in pH 7.0 with Butyl-S Sepharose 6 Fast Flow medium and with subsequent Tween-100 and urea elution. In this process, the recovery, purity, and total yield were about 84%, 82%, and 69%, respectively. By scaling-up the HIC and integrating it with Sephacryl S-400?SEC, we obtained highly pure, i.e.,?>?90%, rHBsAg virus-like particles (VLP). 相似文献

Epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) is deemed to be one of the main molecular targets for diagnosis and treatment of cancer. It has been identified that EGFR involves in pathogenesis of some forms of human cancers. Monoclonal antibodies targeting EGFR could control the tumor cell growth, proliferation, and apoptosis by suppressing the signal transduction pathways. Nanobodies can be regarded as the smallest intact antigen binding fragments, derived from heavy chain-only antibodies existing in camelids. Here, we describe the identification of an EGFR-specific nanobody, referred to as OA-cb6, obtained from immunized camel with a cell line expressing high levels of EGFR. Utilizing flow cytometry (FACS) and blotting methods, we demonstrated that OA-cb6 nanobody binds specifically to EGFR expressing on the surface of A431 cells. In addition, OA-cb6 nanobody potently causes the inhibition of EGFR over expression, cell growth and proliferation. The antibody fragments can probably be regarded as worthwhile binding block for further rational design of anti-cancer therapy. 相似文献
