简介：目的:研究肿瘤坏死因子受体相关因子6(TRAF6)对NOD样受体蛋白3(NLRP3)炎症小体信号通路调控作用的机制。方法:利用免疫共沉淀和免疫印迹在HEK-293T细胞中研究TRAF6与NLRP3的相互作用;通过检测乳酸脱氢酶(LDH),在THP-1细胞中研究TRAF6对NLRP3炎症小体信号通路活性的影响。结果:TRAF6通过与NLRP3的相互作用增加NLRP3的稳定性,进而促进NLRP3炎症小体信号通路介导的LDH的释放。结论:TRAF6通过增加NLRP3的稳定性正调控NLRP3炎症小体信号通路。

简介：目的:利用慢病毒载体建立稳定表达猪载脂蛋白BmRNA编辑酶催化多肽样蛋白3F(pAPOBEC3F,简称pA3F)的PK15细胞系。方法:以实验室前期构建的pBPLV-flag-pA3F质粒为模板,PCR扩增pA3F基因,克隆到pLenti-Puro-3Flag载体构建成pLenti-Puro-pA3F-3Flag质粒,Western印迹鉴定其在HEK293T细胞中的表达;将pLenti-Puro-pA3F-3Flag质粒与包装载体共转染HEK293T细胞,包装成Lenti-pA3F慢病毒并测定病毒滴度;将Lenti-pA3F慢病毒感染PK15细胞,通过嘌呤霉素压力筛选并结合有限稀释法,筛选稳定表达pA3F的细胞单克隆株,最终Western印迹检测细胞单克隆株中pA3F的表达。结果:菌落PCR和序列测定表明pLenti-Puro-pA3F-3Flag质粒构建正确,Western印迹显示该质粒可在HEK293T细胞中表达pA3F蛋白;包装了Lenti-pA3F慢病毒,滴度为1.32×10^8TU/mL,慢病毒感染PK15细胞后可检测到pA3F蛋白的表达;经Western印迹鉴定,筛选得到的单克隆细胞可稳定表达pA3F蛋白。结论:建立了稳定表达pA3F的PK15细胞单克隆株,为进一步深入研究猪内源性反转录病毒在pA3F作用下的免疫逃逸机制奠定了基础。
