FAM76B has been reported to be a nuclear speckle-localized protein with unknown function. In this study, FAM76B was first demonstrated to inhibit the NF-κB-mediated inflammatory pathway by affecting the translocation of hnRNPA2B1 in vitro. We further showed that FAM76B suppressed inflammation in vivo using a traumatic brain injury (TBI) mouse model. Lastly, FAM76B was shown to interact with hnRNPA2B1 in human tissues taken from patients with acute, organizing, and chronic TBI, and with different neurodegenerative diseases. The results suggested that FAM76B mediated neuroinflammation via influencing the translocation of hnRNPA2B1 in vivo during TBI repair and neurodegenerative diseases. In summary, we for the first time demonstrated the role of FAM76B in regulating inflammation and further showed that FAM76B could regulate the NF-κB-mediated inflammatory pathway by affecting hnRNPA2B1 translocation, which provides new information for studying the mechanism of inflammation regulation.

Based on functional imaging methods of resting state DTI (Diffusion tensor imaging), this study reveals the structural changes and functional abnormalities of white matter fibers in patients with stroke from two levels of structure and function, and analyzes the effects of exercise on brain function remodeling in patients with stroke. The effects of the process, explore the central effect mechanism of scalp acupuncture to promote the recovery of motor function, and provide ideas for optimizing the rehabilitation treatment after stroke. There was no statistically significant difference in the general situation of the motion observation group and the conventional rehabilitation treatment group based on DTI technology at the time of enrollment, the NIHS S score, the fugl-meyerassessmenta score, the modified ashworth scale score, and the Brunnstrom staging assessment (P>0.05). After the week, 8 weeks, and 12 weeks of follow-up, the national institutes of health stroke scale, fugl-meyerassessmenta score, modified ashworth scale score, and Brunnstrom motor function staging score of the two groups of patients were significantly improved over time before treatment. The difference was statistically significant (P>0.05); the comparison between groups, the scores of patients in the action observation group and the difference before and after treatment were significantly higher than those in the conventional rehabilitation treatment group, and the difference was statistically significant (P>0.05). Conclusion: Action observation therapy can improve the degree of neurological deficits and promote the recovery of neurological function in patients with stroke. It can improve the score of motor function, reduce the muscle tension of key muscles in patients with stroke, and promote the recovery of motor function in patients.
Progranulin (PGRN) plays critical roles in inflammation, tumorigenesis, and neurodegeneration. PGRN levels in blood and cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) are being increasingly investigated as potential biomarkers for these disorders. However, the value of CSF PGRN as a biomarker has been limited because currently available commercial enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) kits have suboptimal sensitivity for detecting CSF PGRN. In this study, pairs of monoclonal antibodies (MAbs) were first screened from eleven monoclonal antiPGRN antibodies using indirect ELISA, then a sandwich ELISA was established using the 2 optimized MAbs. This system displayed high sensitivity, with a lower limit of detection of 60.0 pg/mL and a lower limit of quantification of 150 pg/mL. By using this ELISA system, we showed varied CSF PGRN levels in different brain disorders. For example, as compared with the normal controls, patients with Alzheimer disease or multiple sclerosis showed mildly increased CSF PGRN; those with aseptic encephalitis or neuropsychiatric systemic lupus erythematosus showed moderately increased CSF PGRN; those with bacterial leptomeningitis showed severely increased CSF PGRN. Additionally, determining CSF PGRN levels could monitor CNS metastasis and CSF seeding of carcinomas. These results indicate that this system can be valuable in studying the diagnostic and prognostic value of CSF PGRN in brain disorders.
DGKθ protein expression levels are closely related to the development of diseases including diabetes, cancer, and neuronal disease. To investigate the transcriptional regulation of the DGKθ gene, we used CRISPR/Cas9 to generate a DGKθ endogenous promoter luciferase reporter HepG2 cell line, in which the endogenous DGKθ promoter controls the expression of the luciferase reporter gene. To test the cell line, FXR, the transcription factor for upregulating the expression of DGKθ gene, was used to validate the cell line. Furthermore, the reported agonists for the expression of DGKθ, cAMP and GW4064, the known inhibitor for DGKθ enzyme activity, R59949, and a potential regulator for DGKθ enzyme expression, EGCG (the major catechin in green tea), were applied to the reporter cell line. The results indicated that these reagents could significantly regulate the expression of reporter luciferase. Finally, four transcription factors (E2F1, c-Myc, USF1, and Bmal1) potentially binding to the DGKθ gene’s upstream promoter region were tested. DGKθ expression was upregulated by c-Myc and downregulated by E2F1, which was also confirmed in wild-type HepG2 cells. We found that the cell line’s luciferase activity was directly correlated with DGKθ endogenous promoter activity, suggesting that it is liable and sensitive for studying DGKθ transcriptional regulation. The study provides a useful tool for high-throughput drug screening for the treatment of DGKθ-involved diseases.

ObjectivesTo establish a HEK293 cell line with a luciferase knock-in reporter controlled by the endogenous SREBP1 promoter for investigating transcriptional regulation of the SREBP1 gene.ResultsPCR confirmed the site-specific integration of a single copy of the exogenous luciferase gene into one allele of the genome and a 14bp deletion of the targeted sequence in the other. Luciferase activity was directly correlated with the promoter activity of the endogenous SREBP1 gene in the HEK293-SREBP1-T2A-luciferase-KI cell line cell line.ConclusionsWe successfully generated anovel luciferase knock-in reporter system, which will be very useful for studying transcriptional regulation of the SREBP1 gene and for screening drugs or chemical molecules that regulate SREBP1 gene expression.
Heterozygous loss-of-function mutations in GRN, the progranulin gene, which result in progranulin (PGRN) protein haploinsufficiency, are a major cause of frontotemporal lobar degeneration with TDP-43 proteinopathy (FTLD-TDP). PGRN is composed of seven and a half repeats of a highly conserved granulin motif that is cleaved to produce the granulin peptides A-G and paragranulin. To better understand the role of PGRN and granulin (Grn) peptides in the pathogenesis of neurodegeneration, we evaluated PGRN/Grn in brains of patients with Alzheimer disease, FTLD-TDP type A with or without GRN mutations, and normal individuals, using a panel of monoclonal antibodies against Grn peptides A-G. In the neocortex, Grn peptide-specific immunostains were observed, for example, membranous Grn E immunopositivity in pyramidal neurons, and Grn C immunopositivity in ramified microglia. In the hippocampus, Grn immunopositivity in the CA1 and CA2 regions showed disease-specific changes in both neurons and microglia. Most interestingly, in FTLD-TDP type A with GRN mutations, there is a 60% decrease in the density of Grn-positive microglia in the hippocampal CA1, suggesting that haploinsufficiency of the GRN mutations also extends to PGRN expression in microglia. This study provides important insights into future studies of the pathogenesis and treatment of FTLD-TDP.
Progranulin (PGRN), a highly glycosylated, secreted 593 amino acid precursor protein, is a multifunctional molecule that is critical for early embryogenesis, wound repair, inflammatory and tumorigenesis. PGRN can be proteolytically cleaved into seven cysteine-rich granulin (Grn) peptides: G, F, B, A, C, D and E. Both PGRN and its constituent Grn peptides have been implicated in a wide variety of biological activities. However, their functions are far from clear, and the lack of granulin domain-specific antibodies has hindered the progress of the functional study of PGRN and Grns. Monoclonal antibodies against GrnB, GrnA, GrnC and GrnF have been previously developed by our laboratory. In this study, we generated monoclonal antibodies (MAbs) against GrnD, GrnG and GrnE by using recombinant proteins HSA-GrnG, HSA-GrnD and HSA-GrnE as immunogens, and characterized them by indirect ELISA, Western blot and immunocytochemistry. Furthermore, the neutralizing activities of the MAbs against seven Grns were tested in vitro using the U251 cell line. This full antibody panel of MAbs against seven Grns will be a valuable tool for elucidating the biological roles of PGRN and Grns in different physiopathological processes, which will further promote the development of PGRN-based clinical diagnosis and therapy.
Human FAM76B (hFAM76B) is a 39 kDa protein that contains homopolymeric histidine tracts, a targeting signal for nuclear speckles. FAM76B is highly conserved among different species, suggesting that it may play an important physiological role in normal cellular functions. However, a lack of appropriate tools has hampered study of this potentially important protein. To facilitate research into the biological function(s) of FAM76B, murine monoclonal antibodies (MAbs) against hFAM76B were generated by using purified, prokaryotically expressed hFAM76B protein. Six strains of MAbs specific for hFAM76B were obtained and characterized. The specificity of MAbs was validated by using FAM76B-/- HEK 293 cell line. Double immunofluorescence followed by laser confocal microscopy confirmed the nuclear speckle localization of hFAM76B, and the specific domains recognized by different MAbs were further elucidated by Western blot. Due to the high conservation of protein sequences between mouse and human FAM76B, MAbs against hFAM76B were shown to react with mouse FAM76B (mFAM76B) specifically. Lastly, FAM76B was found to be expressed in the normal tissues of most human organs, though to different extents. The MAbs produced in this study should provide a useful tool for investigating the biological function(s) of FAM76B.
Human extracellular matrix protein-1 (hECM1), a secreted glycoprotein, is widely expressed in different tissues and organs. ECM1 has been implicated in multiple biological functions, which are potentially mediated by the interaction of different ECM1 domains with its ligands. However, the exact biological functions of ECM1 have not been elucidated yet, and the functional study of ECM1 has been partially hampered by the lack of sensitive and specific antibodies, especially those targeting different ECM1 domains. In this study, six strains of monoclonal antibody (MAb) against hECM1 were generated using purified, prokaryotically-expressed hECM1 as an immunogen. The MAbs were shown to be highly sensitive and specific, and suitable for western blot, immunoprecipitation assays and immunohistochemistry. Furthermore, the particular ECM1 domains recognized by different MAbs were identified. Lastly, the MAbs were found to have neutralizing activities, inhibiting the proliferation, migration and metastasis of MDA-MB-231 cells. In conclusion, the domain-specific anti-ECM1 MAbs produced in this study should provide a useful tool for investigating ECM1's biological functions, and cellular pathways in which it is involved.

In glioblastomas, the surface glycoprotein CD133 (prominin-1) indicates the presence of cancer stem cells (CSCs), which are able to initiate tumor growth and are highly resistant to conventional chemo/radiotherapy. However, a number of studies have reported that certain CD133- glioma cells are able to self-renew and retain tumorigenic potential. In addition, the reliability of CD133 as a CSC marker is controversial due to inconsistent findings with regard to the prognostic values and distribution of CD133. Such controversies may be due to the detection limits using currently available anti-CD133 antibodies. In the present study, novel anti-human CD133 monoclonal antibodies (mAbs) were generated using two recombinant extracellular domains of human CD133: CD133 ectodomain 1 (amino acids 171-420) and CD133 ectodomain 2 (amino acids 507-716). One of the antibodies produced against CD133 ectodomain 2, C2E1, detected high expression levels of CD133 protein in glioblastoma U87 cells, in contrast to previous studies which did not detect CD133 expression in these cells. The cells exhibited a cytoplasmic distribution pattern of CD133 and produced a 95 kDa band following western blot analysis. In addition, C2E1 was able to bind the full-length glycosylated CD133 on the cell surface and inhibit the proliferation of tumor cells. Therefore, this antibody may be a valuable tool to study CD133 as a CSC marker and may be significant in future cancer treatments.
Background: One of the most commonly used vectors for gene therapy is the adenoviral vector; its ability to tightly regulate transgene expression is critical for optimizing therapeutic outcomes. The tetracycline-regulated system (especially the Tet-On system) for gene expression is one of the most valuable tools for controlling gene expression. The major problem of an adenoviral vector carrying a Tet-On system is suboptimal regulation of transgene expression.Results: We constructed a single adenoviral vector carrying in its E1 region a novel "all-in-one" Tet-On system with an autoregulatory loop. This system had improved Dox-inducible gene expression in terms of low basal expression, high induced expression and high responsiveness to Dox. To our knowledge, this is the first reported adenovirus-based, all-in-one Tet-On system with an autoregulatory loop inserted into a single region of adenoviral genome. This system was further tested by inducible expression of soluble tumor necrosis factor-related apoptosis-inducing ligand (sTRAIL). The adenovirus that expressed soluble TRAIL under the control of this novel Tet-On system showed tumor-derived cells inhibitory activity in SW480 cells only under induced conditions.Conclusions: Our novel, single adenoviral vector carrying in its E1 region an all-in-one Tet-On system with an autoregulatory loop displayed tight regulation of transgene expression in vitro. This system has great potential for a variety of applications, including gene therapy and the study of gene function.
Current methods of treatment for lung carcinoma are ineffective for the majority of patients. Conditionally replicating adenoviruses (CRAds) represent a potential novel treatment for a number of neoplastic diseases, including lung carcinoma. The present study aimed to investigate the synergistic mechanisms underlying the anti-angiogenesis gene, arresten, and the apoptosis-inducing gene, tumor necrosis factor-related apoptosis-inducing ligand (TRAIL), in order to evaluate their therapeutic potential in lung cancer. The two genes were expressed by CRAd, which was confirmed using reverse transcription-polymerase chain reaction and western blotting. In vitro analyses demonstrated that CRAd adenoviruses are capable of selectively inhibiting A549 lung cancer cell growth and replication but not in that of healthy cells. In vivo analyses demonstrated that the infection of A549 cell lines using CRAd armed with the two genes (CRAd-arresten-TRAIL) enhanced the tumor inhibition, compared with cells infected with CRAd-arresten, CRAd-TRAIL or CRAd, and with the control group. CRAd-arresten-TRAIL may therefore be useful in the treatment of lung cancer.
The progress of the application of adenovirus in cancer gene therapy is hindered by the lack of expression of native adenovirus receptor on a variety of cancer types. Hence, strategies are needed to retarget the adenoviral vector to non-native cellular surface receptors. In the present study, a new peptide SWDIAWPPLKVP, capable of selectively targeting a human glioblastoma cell line A172, was identified by direct biopanning of phage-display peptide libraries. The binding activity of the phage displaying SWDIAWPPLKVP peptide in A172 was more than 10-fold higher than that of the control phage. We then inserted the selected peptide SWDIAWPPLKVP into adenoviral hexon protein, and observed that the modified Ad5 had increased infectivity in A172 cells, compared with that in control cell lines. These findings demonstrated that a peptide acquired through phage display can mediate cell-specific Ad retargeting when inserted into Ad hexon, suggesting an approach for targeting adenoviral infection to specific cancer cells.
Zinc finger nuclease (ZFN) technology, which can be used to induce targeted genome correction in the presence of a DNA donor template, is becoming an attractive strategy for treating monogenic diseases. This strategy requires efficient delivery of ZFN and donor template into cells, ideally, in a single viral vector to achieve efficient genome editing and to avoid unwanted mutagenesis. In this study, we successfully produced a single adenoviral (Ad) vector with high titer that carried a ZFN expression cassette and a donor template simultaneously. We then demonstrated that this single Ad system could mediate efficient site-specific genome correction in vitro and ex vivo. The gene correction efficiency of the single Ad was significantly higher than that of the double Ad system. This novel vector will be a promising ZFN and donor delivery system for treatment of monogenic diseases.
