ROC curve analysis demonstrated that BDNF,miR-7-5p,and GFAP levels have diagnostic value for cogni-tive impairment in epilepsy patients,with AUC values of0.836,0.845,and0.957,respectively.Conclu-sion:The abnormal characteristics of EEG in patients with cognitive impairment are mainly EEG discharge and slow wave distribution of EEG.The expression of serum BDNF and miR-7-5p is lower than that of patients with normal epilepsy,and the expression of GFAP is higher than that of patients with normal epilepsy,and se-rum BDNF,miR-7-5p and GFAP have certain diagnostic value for the occurrence of cognitive impairment in patients with epilepsy.ʌKey wordsɔ㊀Epilepsy;㊀EEG abnormalities;㊀Cognitive impairment;㊀Brain-derived neurotrophic factor;㊀Glial

LF等[7]与Babiloni C等[8]的研究一致㊂李陶乐等[9]的研究指出,在颞叶癫痫患者群体中,MRI揭示的责任病灶与脑电图所呈现的频繁癫痫放电㊁慢波活动和异常背景波之间存在显著联系,这些因素与患者在心理㊁情绪和认知功能上的受损紧密相关㊂脑电图的异常活动会干扰早期的靶刺激识别能力,并对晚期信息处理的整合产生影响,尤其是在认知功能方面,这种影响更加显著㊂另外,在脑电图表现异常的患者中,P3波的潜伏期延长和波幅降低,这暗示着他们在认知后期的高级编码处理能力受到损害,以及由于脑力资源的不足导致信息记忆能力的下降㊂而姚晓娟等[10]和朱慧等[11]的研究也表明,脑电图异常作为独立因素,与患者出现精神情绪障碍之间有关联,特别是慢波放电的范围与认知功能损害之间呈现正相关关系㊂本研究还发现,血清中BDNF和miR-7-5p的水平在认知障碍组中显著低于认知正常组,而GFAP水平则相反㊂BDNF作为一种关键的神经营养素,对神经系统的健康㊁认知功能以及感觉系统的维护具有密切的相关性,它在脑功能学习过程的多个层面中具有重要作用㊂在BDNF水平下降的情况下,神经元损伤的程度会增加,进而可导致记忆力和认知功能的减退㊂同时,闻红斌[12]的研究发现,癫痫患者的血清BDNF水平降低,并且伴随着严重的认知功能损害㊂这说明血清中BDNF的水平与患者认知功能损伤的程度之间存在一定的相关性,这一发现与本研究的部分结果是一致的㊂Xu H[13]的研究发现,在缺氧缺糖/复氧的大鼠模型中,miR-7-5p表达降低,而姜黄素能够通过调节miR-7-5p来改善神经损伤和认知功能障碍㊂另一方面,Li等[14]的研究表明,降低LncRNA MEG3的表达可以通过靶向miR-7-5p来缓解异氟醚治疗引起的认知功能障碍,并具有神经保护作用㊂结合这些研究结果,可以推测,在癫痫发作后,患者体内的应激反应导致中枢神经系统中的神经炎症增加,从而增加Ln-cRNA MEG3及炎症因子的表达㊂LncRNA MEG3通过靶向作用于miR-7-5p,参与调控神经炎症和氧化应激,对癫痫患者认知功能障碍的发生和发展起着重要作用㊂GFAP是星形胶质细胞活化的核心标志物, GFAP水平的升高促使星形胶质细胞在结构和功能上发生变化,这可能触发神经功能障碍,进而导致认知功能的下降㊂本研究的Pearson相关性分析结果显示血清BD-NF㊁miR-7-5p水平与癫痫患者认知功能呈正相关, GFAP水平与认知功能呈负相关㊂这些发现提示,这些生物标志物可能在癫痫相关认知功能障碍的发生和发展中起着重要作用㊂此外,通过ROC曲线分析发现,BDNF㊁miR-7-5p和GFAP的水平对癫痫患者认知障碍的诊断具有一定的价值㊂这表明,这些血清生物标志物不仅能够反映认知功能障碍的存在,还可能成为未来癫痫患者认知障碍的诊断标志物㊂综上所述,癫痫患者的脑电图异常㊁血清BDNF㊁GFAP和miR-7-5p水平与认知障碍的发生密切相关,且具有一定的诊断价值㊂ʌ参考文献ɔ[1]㊀Beghi

口腔癌人数约占全世界罹患恶性肿瘤人数的3%,其中鳞状细胞癌比例超过90%.2005年,WHO将口腔鳞状细胞癌(OSCC)定义为一种具有不同分化程度和侵袭性的肿瘤,早期可出现广泛的淋巴结转移,好发于40~70岁的烟酒爱好者[1].口腔癌患者5年生存率约为50%[2],患者术后预后差和5年生存率低的主要原因为患者未及时就诊、淋巴结转移及复发[3].控制OSCC的侵袭转移能力对预后至关重要,认为可偿试从分子水平出发找出更好的治疗方法[4].初生纤毛属于一种细胞表面的细胞器,在脊椎动物发育和人类遗传疾病中发挥着重要作用.纤毛对发育信号的响应是必需的,而越来越多的证据表明初级纤毛是专属于Hedgehog信号传导的[5],而Hedgehog信号传导对肿瘤的发生发展起着重要作用.研究[6]结果显示,多种肿瘤组织中均存在Hedgehog信号的异常激活,如肺小细胞癌、胰腺癌、前列腺癌、乳腺癌、恶性胶质瘤、髓母细胞瘤及多发性骨髓瘤等.KIF3A属于初级纤毛内运输系统,具有维持和发挥初级纤毛正常功能的作用[7].本研究探讨了初级纤毛相关基因KIF3A通过Hedgehog信号通路对OSCC增殖能力产生的影响.1

讨论初级纤毛为多数分化型细胞表面上的感觉附属物,具有化学感觉和机械感觉功能,在细胞周期控制中具有重要的作用.以往的研究认为初级纤毛在快速增殖的细胞上是找不到的,如癌症细胞,但KOWAL等[8]通过一种初级纤毛标志物Arl13b在HeLa和MG63细胞中发现了初级纤毛.未在OSCC中查看是否存在初级纤毛是本研究的不足之处.KIF3A属于初级纤毛内运输系统,在维持和发挥初级纤毛功能中起重要作用.HOANG-MINH等[9]的研究结果显示,沉默KIF3A基因表达后可降低胶质母细胞瘤中初级纤毛的数量,最终促进肿瘤的发生.玄云泽等[10]首次在OSCC中发现有初级纤毛,后来有学者亦在口腔白斑与OSCC组织中发现了初级纤毛,EGFR-Aurora A异常信号被激活后,口腔黏膜癌变过程中原发性纤毛逐渐减少[11].本研究结果显示,利用siRNA技术沉默KIF3A基因后mRNA和蛋白表达水平明显降低,提示初级纤毛的检出率降低.Hedgehog信号通路对胚胎发育及肿瘤的发生发展具有重要意义.研究[12-13]结果显示,Hedgehog信号通路的异常激活与皮肤、乳腺、肺及消化道等多种恶性肿瘤的发生、增殖密切相关.程志芬等[12]利用Hedgehog信号通路特异性抑制剂环巴胺处理Tca8113细胞株后,Smoothened的mRNA和蛋白表达明显减少,且细胞增殖受到抑制.KURODA等[14]的研究结果显示,给予Hedgehog信号通路抑制剂可抑制肿瘤前沿血管内皮细胞的增殖、迁移,进而抑制肿瘤的增殖和迁移.在小细胞肺癌中,沉默KIF3A后初级纤毛明显减少,且Shh信号通路介导的Gli1mRNA表达水平明显降低[15],此结果与本研究结果相符.研究[16]结果显示,Hedgehog信号通路转录因子Gli1的激活是恶性肿瘤的一个不良预后因素,利用环巴胺阻断Hedgehog信号通路可抑制Gli1激活,并增强头颈部鳞癌对放疗的敏感性,提示Hedgehog信号通路影响头颈部鳞癌的放疗预后.总之,本研究揭示了初级纤毛相关基因KIF3A在人舌鳞癌Tca8113细胞Hedgehog信号通路中的作用,初步解释了沉默KIF3A后可能通过抑制Hedgehog信号通路影响OSCC细胞的增殖能力,为OSCC患者的靶向治疗提供了理论依据.[参

R.Evans,1,2Hyo Jin Kang,3Insoo Bae,3David H.Sherr,4and Mark E.Hahn1*Biology Department,Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution,Woods Hole,Massachusetts025431;Biology Department, Boston

Health,Boston,Massachusetts021184Received16February2009/Accepted10April2009The aryl hydrocarbon receptor(AHR)repressor(AHRR)inhibits AHR-mediated transcription and has beenassociated with reproductive dysfunction and tumorigenesis in humans.Previous studies have characterizedthe repressor function of AHRRs from mice andfish,but the human AHRR ortholog(AHRR715)appeared tobe nonfunctional in vitro.Here,we report a novel human AHRR cDNA(AHRR⌬8)that lacks exon8ofAHRR715.AHRR⌬8was the predominant AHRR form expressed in human tissues and cell lines.AHRR⌬8effectively repressed AHR-dependent transactivation,whereas AHRR715was much less active.Similarly,AHRR⌬8,but not AHRR715,formed a complex with AHR nuclear translocator(ARNT).Repression of AHR byAHRR⌬8was not relieved by overexpression of ARNT or AHR coactivators,suggesting that competition for these cofactors is not the mechanism of repression.AHRR⌬8interacted weakly with AHR but did not inhibit its nuclear translocation.In a survey of transcription factor specificity,AHRR⌬8did not repress the nuclear receptor pregnane X receptor or estrogen receptor␣but did repress hypoxia-inducible factor(HIF)-dependent signaling.AHRR⌬8-Pro185and-Ala185variants,which have been linked to human reproductive disorders,both were capable of repressing AHR or HIF.Together,these results identify AHRR⌬8as the active form of human AHRR and reveal novel aspects of its function and specificity as a repressor.The aryl hydrocarbon receptor(AHR)repressor(AHRR)is a basic-helix-loop-helix/Per-AHR nuclear translocator(ARNT)-Sim(bHLH-PAS)protein discovered because of its similarity to the AHR,a ligand-activated transcription factor involved in the response to synthetic aromatic hydrocarbons(48).The AHR and AHRR form a negative regulatory loop that is evolutionarily conserved in vertebrates(32);expression of AHRR is regulated by the AHR,and AHRR acts as a transcriptional repressor of AHR function(1,32,48).Like the AHR,AHRR can dimerize with the ARNT,and the AHRR-ARNT complex can bind to AHR-responsive enhancer elements(AHREs).Repression oc-curs through competition between AHR and AHRR for binding to AHREs(14,48)as well as through additional mechanisms that do not involve competition for ARNT and are independent of AHRE binding by AHRR(14).The biological and toxicological functions of AHRR are not well understood,but recentfindings suggest that AHRR is involved in human reproductive physiology and in the regula-tion of cell growth(reviewed in references20and22).A human AHRR(hAHRR)Ala185Pro polymorphism has been associated with altered reproductive development and infertil-ity in men(16,46,59,64)and endometriosis in women(19,35,62,65),but the functional properties of the polymorphic vari-ants have never been assessed.AHRR overexpression inhibits the growth of human tumor cells in culture(30,56,68).Con-versely,knockdown of AHRR expression enhances cell growth and confers resistance to apoptosis;consistent with this,the AHRR gene has been found to be silenced by hypermethylation in a variety of human cancers(71).Based on these and other findings,the AHRR has been proposed to function as a tumor suppressor gene(22,71).In order to assess the functions of AHRR and its polymor-phic variants and their relationship to human disease,it is important to understand the nature of the transcripts and proteins encoded by the AHRR gene,as well as their expres-sion in human tissues and cell lines.An hAHRR cDNA iden-tified in a large-scale screen of cDNAs from brain(50)encodes a protein of715amino acids(aa)(referred to here as AHRR715).The human AHRR gene encoding this protein has been reported to contain12exons,thefirst of which is non-coding(8,16).Our initial functional analysis of this protein suggested that,unlike AHRRs from mouse,frog,andfish(15,32,48,70),human AHRR715was not an effective repressor of AHR function in vitro.In phylogenetic analyses involving amino acid sequence alignments of multiple vertebrateAHRRs,we identified an18-aa segment of AHRR715that was absent from all other AHRRs.We therefore hypothesized the existence of an alternative hAHRR form lacking this segment and also hypothesized that this alternative form might exhibit characteristic repressor function.*Corresponding author.Mailing address:Biology

This new AHRR(AHRR⌬8)is the predominant form ex-pressed in multiple human tissues and human tumor cell lines. We compare the functions of the two AHRR splice variants and provide thefirst functional mechanistic assessment of the hAHRR Pro185Ala polymorphic variants that have been as-sociated with increased susceptibility to reproductive dysfunc-tion in human populations.We also show that competition for ARNT or AHR coactivators is not involved in the mechanism of AHR repression and that human AHRR⌬8(hAHRR⌬8)is capable of repressing hypoxia-inducible factor(HIF)-depen-dent signaling.MATERIALS AND METHODSChemicals and cell lines.2,3,7,8-Tetrachlorodibenzo-p-dioxin(TCDD)was obtained from Ultra Scientific(Hope,RI).Dimethyl sulfoxide(DMSO),clo-trimazole,cobalt chloride,and17-estradiol were obtained from Sigma-Aldrich (St.Louis,MO).COS-7cells and the human cell lines HepG2,HeLa,MCF-7, Hs578T,and MDA231were obtained from the American Type Culture Collec-tion(ATCC;Manassas,VA)and grown according to standard procedures.BP-1 cells were generously provided by J.Russo(Fox Chase Cancer Center,Phila-delphia,PA).Human cDNA panel screening.The expression of AHRR exon8in various human tissues was determined by amplifying a partial fragment of AHRR with primersflanking the exon8region.Primers hRR-F635(5Ј-AGTACTCGGCCT TCCTGACC-3Ј)and hRR-R816(5Ј-CGCCTTCTTCTTCTGTCCAA-3Ј)were used with5l of cDNAs from adult and fetal human cDNA panels(BD Biosciences,Mountain View,CA)in a25-l amplification reaction mixture using AmpliTaqGold DNA polymerase(Applied Biosystems,Foster City,CA).The PCR conditions were as follows:94°C for10min,94°C for15s and60°C for30s for35cycles,and72°C for7min.The PCR products were resolved on15% Tris-borate EDTA gels.Screening of human cell lines for the Pro/Ala polymorphism and the presence of exon8.Total RNA was isolated from human cell lines MCF-7,Hs578T, MDA231,and BP-1as described earlier(68).Briefly,cells were frozen and pulverized into afine powder.Total cellular RNA was isolated using RNAzol as described by the manufacturer(Leedo Medical Laboratories,Houston,TX). RNA was quantified with a spectrophotometer at optical densities of260nm and 280nm.cDNA was synthesized from2g of total RNA using Omniscript reverse transcriptase(Qiagen,Valencia,CA).A partial fragment of AHRR was ampli-fied from cDNA derived from each cell line using primers hRR-F494(5Ј-AGG ACTTCTGCCGGCAGCTCC-3Ј)and RRex8R(5Ј-CAGCTGCCAAGCCTGT GACC-3Ј)flanking the region containing the Pro185Ala polymorphism and exon 8.The PCR products were cloned into the pGEM-T vector(Promega),and multiple clones were sequenced for each cell line.Generation of AHRR plasmid constructs.The pcDNAhAHRR(AHRR715) construct was prepared by subcloning the KIAA1234cDNA(clone fH08618;a gift from Takahiro Nagase,Kazusa DNA Research Institute,Chiba,Japan[50]) into pcDNA3.1,as we described earlier(32).Full-length hAHRR⌬8was ampli-fied from testes cDNA(human cDNA panel;BD Biosciences,Mountain View, CA)using primers hRR-F39(5Ј-GATCATATGCCGAGGACGAT-3Ј)and hRR-R2227(5Ј-GAGCTTGGATGGTGGTCACT-3Ј)and Advantage DNA polymerase(BD Biosciences).The PCR conditions were as follows:94°C for1 min;94°C for5s,64°C for10s,and68°C for2.5min forfive cycles;94°C for5s, 62°C for10s,and68°C for2.5min forfive cycles;94°C for5s,60°C for10s,and 68°C for2.5min for25cycles;72°C for10min.The amplified product was cloned into the pGEM-T vector(Promega,Madison,WI)and sequenced.The insert was cut out of EcoRI and SpeI sites and transferred to the EcoRI and XbaI sites of the pcDNA3.1vector(Invitrogen,Carlsbad,CA).Other plasmid constructs.The pEF-hAHR and mouse AHR-yellowfluores-cent protein(YFP)fusion constructs were provided by Gary Perdew(Pennsyl-vania State University,University Park,PA).The plasmid pGudLuc6.1,which contains thefirefly luciferase reporter under the control of a mouse mammary tumor virus promoter regulated by four AHREs from the murine CYP1A1 promoter,was a gift from M.Denison(University of California,Davis,CA).Rat Cyp1a1-Luc and human XRE.1A1-Luc were obtained from R.Barouki(Univer-sity of Rene Descartes,France)and S.K.Kim(Seoul National University,South Korea),respectively.Expression constructs for human ARNT and the hypoxia-responsive luciferase reporter,HRE-luc(PL949[25]),were obtained from C. Bradfield(University of Wisconsin,Madison,WI).The human pregnane X receptor(PXR)expression construct was provided by S.Kliewer(University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill),and the PXR reporter construct(XREM-tk-luc) was obtained from J.Moore(Molecular Discovery Research,GlaxoSmithKline, Research Triangle Park,NC).The human estrogen receptor␣(ER␣)construct and an estrogen-responsive luciferase reporter(3xERE-TATA-luc)were ob-tained from D.McDonnell(Duke University Medical Center,Durham,NC). Expression constructs for the receptor coactivators GRIP,CoCoA,and GAC63 were provided by M.Stallcup(University of Southern California,Los Angeles, CA).Src-1a and Src-1e constructs were obtained from E.Kalkhoven(University Medical Center Utrecht,The Netherlands)and M.Parker(Imperial College London,United Kingdom).The p300expression construct was from Upstate Biotechnologies(Lake Placid,NY).Transient transfections and luciferase assays.Transient transfections were performed as described earlier(14,32).Briefly,transfections of DNA with Lipofectamine2000reagent(Invitrogen,Carlsbad,CA)were carried out in triplicate wells24h after plating.Approximately300ng of DNA was complexed with1l of Lipofectamine2000and then added to cells;the amount of DNA used for each expression construct is listed in thefigure legends.The total amount of DNA was kept constant by adding in empty vector.Five hours after transfection,cells were exposed to DMSO(0.5%),TCDD(10nMfinal concen-tration),clotrimazole(10Mfinal concentration),CoCl(150Mfinal concen-tration),or17-estradiol(10nMfinal concentration).(For transfections involv-ing17-estradiol and ER␣,cells were grown in phenol red-free medium with charcoal-stripped serum.)Renilla luciferase(pRL-TK or pGL4.74;Promega, Madison,WI)was used as the transfection control.Cells were lysed19h after dosing,and luminescence was measured using the dual luciferase assay kit (Promega)in a TD20/20luminometer(Turner Designs,Sunnyvale,CA).The final values are expressed as a ratio of thefirefly luciferase units to the Renilla luciferase units.Experiments were repeated multiple times.AHRR antibody production and Western blots.Polyclonal antibodies to hAHRR(designed to recognize both forms)were raised in two rabbits(21st Century Biochemicals,Marlboro,MA)by coimmunizing the animals with two peptides corresponding to amino acid residues18to31(LQKQRPAVGAE KSN)and80to101(FQVVQEQSSRQPAAGAPSPGDS).To avoid cross-re-activity with AHR,the peptides were in regions of the AHRR protein exhibiting low sequence identity with the AHR(see Fig.S1in the supplemental material). Preimmune serum and serum from six bleeds were collected over the course of several weeks,and antibody titer was tested by Western blotting using hAHRR-transfected COS-7cell lysates;lysates from COS-7cells transfected with empty vector served as a control for specificity.COS-7cells were plated and transfected as described above.Twenty-four hours after transfection,cells were rinsed with phosphate-buffered saline and resuspended in2ϫsample treatment buffer.Cell lysates were subjected to sodium dodecyl sulfate-polyacrylamide gel electro-phoresis,and the gels were blotted onto nitrocellulose.The serum antibody titer for each bleed was tested by blotting with two dilutions(1:250and1:1,000).Two affinity-purified polyclonal antibodies were isolated from serum(bleeds3thru6) from a single rabbit by separate affinity purification procedures using the two individual peptides.The affinity-purified antibodies are designated PAb-RR-18-1 (against residues18to31)and PAb-RR-80-2(against residues80to101).The specificity of the affinity-purified polyclonal antibodies was assessed by blotting against lysates from COS-7cells transfected with plasmids for hAHRR,human AHR,mouse AHRR,and killifish AHRR.All results reported here(Western blots and immunoprecipitations)were performed using PAb-RR-80-2. Expression of hAHRR protein in the transient-transfection assays was mea-sured by Western blotting with PAb-RR-80-2(3g/ml),followed by a goat anti-rabbit immunoglobulin G(IgG)Ϫhorseradish peroxidase(Upstate/Milli-pore,Billerica,MA)secondary antibody(1:5,000).The AHRR proteins were then visualized by enhanced chemiluminescence(ECL-Plus;GE Healthcare, Piscataway,NJ).Coimmunoprecipitation assay.The full-length AHRR715,AHRR⌬8,AHR, and ARNT proteins were synthesized by in vitro transcription and translation (TnT;Promega,Madison,WI)in the presence or absence of[35S]methionine (MP Biomedicals,Solon,OH).Five microliters of unlabeled protein was mixed with15l of radiolabeled protein and incubated at room temperature for2h. For mixtures containing AHR,TCDD(10nM)was added.The mixtures were adjusted to25mM HEPES,200mM NaCl,1.2mM EDTA,10%glycerol,and 0.1%Nonidet P-40,pH7.4,with protease inhibitors(immunoprecipitation buffer).After two rounds of preclearing with normal mouse IgG and protein G-agarose,5g of specific antibody or IgG was added and incubated for2h, followed by precipitation with protein G-agarose overnight.The beads were washed two times with IP buffer,boiled in sample treatment buffer,and subjected3466KARCHNER ET AL.M OL.C ELL.B IOL.to sodium dodecyl sulfate-polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis on an8%poly-acrylamide gel.The gels were dried and visualized byfluorography.hAHRR antibody(PAb-RR-80-2)or normal rabbit IgG was used to precipitate AHRR complexes and nonspecific complexes,respectively.For ARNT complexes, monoclonal ARNT antibody(MA1-515;Affinity BioReagents,Golden,CO)and normal mouse IgG were used.Subcellular localization of mouse AHR-YFP.COS-7cells were grown on coverslips in six-well plates.Cells were cotransfected with350ng of mouse AHR-YFP and350ng of human ARNT expression constructs,with or without 350ng of hAHRR⌬8construct,using Lipofectamine2000reagent(Invitrogen). Luciferase reporter pGudLuc6.1(300ng)and the transfection control pRL-TK (40ng)were also transfected.Cells were dosed with DMSO or TCDD(10nM final concentration)5h after transfection.Twenty-four hours after transfection, cells were washed with1ϫphosphate-buffered saline andfixed in4%formalde-hyde.The coverslips were inverted onto slides and mounted with Vectashield hard-setting mounting medium(Vector Laboratories,Burlingame,CA).Cells were visualized using a Zeiss Axio Imager.Z1fluorescence microscope,and Axiovision software was used to collect the images.To confirm the effectiveness of AHRR⌬8as a repressor under the conditions of the assay,luciferase was measured in a plate of cells run in parallel.Nucleotide sequence accession numbers.The AHRR⌬8sequences have been deposited in GenBank,with accession numbers EU293605(mRNA)and ABX89616(protein).RESULTSIdentification and characterization of the major form of hAHRR.In our earlier studies of the evolutionary conservation of AHRR in vertebrates(15,32),we noticed that the predicted 715-aa protein derived from the original hAHRR cDNA(AHRR715[50])included an18-aa segment that had no coun-terpart(homologous amino acids)in other AHRRs.A more recent phylogenetic analysis involving an alignment of all known(i.e.,verified)mammalian,amphibian,andfish AHRR protein sequences confirmed that this unique18-aa segment ispresent only in the human AHRR715(Fig.1A).This segmentis located in an otherwise conserved portion of the PAS region downstream of the PAS-A repeat(sometimes referred to as the“intervening region”[10]between PAS repeats)(see Fig. S1in the supplemental material);it is encoded by a single exon of54nucleotides in the human genome(Fig.1B),correspond-ing to exon8described by others(8,16).AHRR715,the715-aaprotein encoded by the cDNA containing this exon,functioned poorly as a repressor in transient-transfection assays in three different laboratories(unpublished results;see below).We therefore hypothesized that there might be an alternatively spliced AHRR transcript lacking this exon and that the protein encoded by this alternative transcript might have a repressor function like that of AHRRs from other species.Using primersflanking exon8,we used PCR to amplify this region of the AHRR transcript from human tissue cDNAs. The primary amplicon was128bp,the size predicted for a form lacking exon8,rather than the182bp predicted for the exon 8-containing transcript.Subsequently,we amplified,cloned, and sequenced a full-length cDNA of2,173bp with an open reading frame of2091bp encoding a predicted AHRR proteinof697aa.The new cDNA is identical to AHRR715(50),exceptthat it lacks the sequences corresponding to exon8and thus has been designated AHRR⌬8.Two polymorphic variants of AHRR⌬8,corresponding to the Ala185Pro single nucleotide polymorphism described earlier(65),were found among the sequenced clones.To assess the relative expression of AHRR715andAHRR⌬8,we performed PCR analysis on cDNA from human tissues with primersflanking exon8,designed to produce am-plicons of different sizes for the two AHRR variants.A survey of multiple adult and fetal tissues demonstrated that AHRR⌬8 is the predominant,and in most cases only,form of AHRR expressed(Fig.1C).We also examined the relative expression of AHRR715and AHRR⌬8and the presence of Ala185Pro polymorphic variants in several human tumor cell lines.As seen with the human tissues,AHRR⌬8was the predominant form of AHRR expressed in HeLa,HepG2,MCF-7,Hs578T, MDA231,and BP-1cells(see Fig.S2A and Table S1in thesupplemental material).Although AHRR715transcripts were not detected by using primersflanking exon8,use of a primerwithin exon8showed that AHRR715transcripts were ex-pressed at low levels in HeLa and HepG2cells(see Fig.S2B in the supplemental material).Sequencing of AHRR cDNA clones from each of the cell lines confirmed AHRR⌬8as the predominant expressed form and showed that all of the cell lines except BP-1are heterozygous for the Ala185Pro poly-morphism(see Table S1in the supplemental material). AHRR⌬8and AHRR differ in repressor activity.To com-pare the functional properties of the original715-aa AHRRprotein(AHRR715)and AHRR⌬8,we performed transient-transfection assays in which we measured the ability of the AHRRs to inhibit the TCDD-inducible transactivation of re-porter gene construct pGudLuc6.1mediated by either trans-fected or endogenously expressed AHR.After transfectionwith the respective constructs,AHRR715and AHRR⌬8pro-teins were expressed at similar levels in COS-7cells,as as-sessed by Western blotting using an hAHRR antibody that recognizes both AHRR forms but does not recognize human AHR(Fig.2A and B).When transfected into COS-7cells with ARNT in the presence or absence of TCDD,neither AHRR form was able to activate transcription of pGudLuc6.1(see Fig. S3A in the supplemental material).Thus,hAHRRs lack a function as transcriptional activators,as observed previously for AHRRs from other species(15,32,48).To test the ability of AHRR715and AHRR⌬8to repress AHR-mediated signaling,each form was transfected into COS-7cells together with expression constructs for human AHR and ARNT and pGudLuc6.1.In the absence of cotrans-fected AHRR,AHR and ARNT caused transactivation of the luciferase reporter that was enhanced by TCDD(Fig.2C).Transfection of the AHRR715expression construct at50and 150ng/well caused little change in the AHR-dependent acti-vation of luciferase expression or its induction by TCDD.In contrast,AHRR⌬8at50or150ng/well completely repressed both constitutive(i.e.,exogenous ligand-independent)and TCDD-inducible reporter gene activity(Fig.2C).Similarly,AHRR⌬8,but not AHRR715,repressed transactivation by mouse AHR in COS-7cells(see Fig.S3B in the supplemental material).To evaluate the effect of the AHRRs on endog-enously expressed human AHR,AHRR715or AHRR⌬8was cotransfected with pGudLuc6.1into HepG2cells,which ex-press abundant AHR(13).As we saw with the transfectedAHRs in COS-7cells,AHRR715was ineffective as a repressor of the endogenous HepG2AHR,whereas AHRR⌬8reduced TCDD-inducible reporter gene activation by61%(Fig.2D).AHRR⌬8also was much more effective than AHRR715at repressing endogenous AHR in MCF-7cells cotransfected with two different reporter gene constructs(Cyp1a1-Luc andV OL.29,2009HUMAN AHRR⌬8AND VARIANTS REPRESS AHR AND HIF3467XRE.1A1-Luc)(Fig.2E;see also Fig.S3C in the supplemental material).(The lower percent repression in HepG2and MCF-7cells than in COS-7cells likely reflects the fact that endogenous AHR is expressed in all HepG2and MCF-7cells,whereas not all of the cells take up transiently transfected AHRR.)Together,these results demonstrate that the much greater ability of AHRR ⌬8than of AHRR 715to repress AHR transactivation is consistently observed for transfected and en-dogenously expressed AHRs from humans and mice,in three different cell lines,and with AHRE-containing reporter gene constructs derived from three different mammalian species.AHRR ⌬8and AHRR 715differ in ability to interact with ARNT.The 18-aa peptide encoded by exon 8in AHRR 715lies in the ϳ100-aa “intervening region”downstream of the PAS-A repeat.This region is highly conserved in AHR and AHRR proteins (Fig.1A;see also Fig.S1in the supplemental mate-rial),and in the AHR,it has been shown to be important for dimerization with ARNT (10,45).This region also appears to be important for dimerization of AHRR and ARNT,because deletion of this region in the zebrafish AHRRa caused a dra-matic reduction in the ability of AHRRa to interact with ARNT (14).To determine whether the presence of the 18-aa peptide within the intervening region of AHRR 715affects its ability to dimerize with ARNT,we performed a coimmuno-precipitation experiment in which radiolabeled ARNT was in-cubated with in vitro-expressed AHRR ⌬8or AHRR 715and the complex was immunoprecipitated with affinity-purified antibody against hAHRR,which recognizes both forms.AHRR ⌬8and AHRR 715were synthesized to similar levels by in vitro transcription and translation (Fig.3A).AHRR ⌬8FIG.1.Identification of hAHRR splice variant AHRR ⌬8as the major variant expressed in human tissues.(A)Partial amino acid sequence

cDNAs,using primers flanking exon 8(shown in gray in panel B).The presence of the exon would have produced a 182-bp PCR product (AHRR 715),as opposed to the 128-bp product (AHRR ⌬8)obtained in all tissues.3468KARCHNER ET AL.M OL .C ELL .B IOL .formed a complex with ARNT that could be specifically and strongly immunoprecipitated by the AHRR antibody (Fig.3B,lane 3versus lane 4;see also Fig.S4B in the supplemental material).In contrast,AHRR 715did not interact with ARNT (Fig.3B,lane 1versus lane 2;see also Fig.S4B in the supple-mental material).The results suggest that the presence of the 18-aa peptide encoded by exon 8disrupts ARNT dimerization,that hAHRR requires ARNT to repress AHR,and that the difference in the repressor function of AHRR ⌬8and AHRR 715reflects the inability of the latter protein to associate with ARNT.Functional comparison of AHRR ⌬8-Ala 185and AHRR ⌬8-Pro 185polymorphic variants.An Ala185Pro polymorphism in the hAHRR has been associated with human diseases in sev-eral studies (16,19,35,46,59,62,64,65),but the functional properties of the two variants have never been assessed.Both of these polymorphic variants were present in our pool of AHRR ⌬8clones.To compare their abilities to repress AHR transactivation,we performed transient-transfection assays in which we measured the abilities of AHRR ⌬8-Ala 185and AHRR ⌬8-Pro 185to repress AHR-and ARNT-dependent transactivation of pGudLuc6.1in COS-7cells.The AHRR ⌬8variants were expressed at similar levels in the transfected cells (Fig.4A).Both AHRR ⌬8-Ala 185and AHRR ⌬8-Pro 185were effective at repressing constitutive (exogenous ligand-indepen-dent)and TCDD-inducible expression of pGudLuc6.1.In ex-periments in which increasing amounts of AHRR ⌬8expres-sion constructs were transfected,the two variants were equally potent at repressing AHR-mediated transactivation of the re-porter gene (Fig.4B and C).We conclude that both AHRR ⌬8-Ala 185and AHRR ⌬8-Pro 185are fully functional as repressors of AHR and thus that the Ala185Pro polymorphism does not affect repression of AHR-mediated transcription.Mechanism of repression of AHR by AHRR ⌬8.Mimura et al.(48)showed that mouse AHRR could dimerize with ARNT and bind to AHREs and proposed that the mechanism of repression involved competition between AHR and AHRR for binding to ARNT and for binding to AHRE sequences.Our recent studies using the zebrafish AHRRa provided evidence that competition for ARNT is not an important element of the mechanism of repression and that AHRE binding may con-tribute to the repression but is not required (14).To assess the role of competition for ARNT in the repression of human AHR by hAHRR ⌬8,we performed a series oftransient-trans-FIG.2.Repressor activity of hAHRR splice variants AHRR

It has been well-identified that MBL has antiviral effects via binding to seasonal influenza H1and H3 subtype viruses.Influenza A(H7N9)virus,a novel reassortant virus to human population,possesses the surface hemagglutinin(HA)and neuraminidase(NA)genes from duck and wild-bird influenza viruses and internal genes from poultry H9N2viruses.As of Dec7th,2014,a total of467human infections and 183fatal cases have been identified.Here,recombinant human(rh)MBL was tested for its binding and effects on hemagglutination inhibition(HI)and NA activity inhibition(NAI)of avian H7N9,H9N2and human H3N2viruses.We discovered that rhMBL exhibited a strong binding to H7N9virus as human H3N2did at high virus titers.However,it performed a significantly weaker HI activity effect on H7N9 comparing to those of H3N2and H9N2,even at a much higher concentration(3.67±0.33vs.0.026±0.001and0.083±0.02m g/mL,respectively).Similarly,minor NAI effect of rhMBL,even at up to 10m g/mL,was found on H7N9virus while it displayed significant effects on both H3N2and H9N2at a lowest concentration of0.0807±0.009and0.0625m g/mL,respectively.The HI and NAI effects of rhMBL were calcium-dependent and mediated by lectin domain.Ourfindings suggest that MBL,the host innate molecule,has differential interference effects with human and avian influenza virus and limited antiviral effect against H7N9virus.©2015The Authors.Published by Elsevier Inc.This is an open access article under the CC BY-NC-NDlicense(/licenses/by-nc-nd/4.0/).1.IntroductionHost innate immunity plays a critical role in the early phase of infection.Thisfirst-line defense against pathogens is mediated by a variety of pattern-recognition molecules including collectins,toll-like receptors andficolins as well as inflammatory cytokines and type I interferon or macrophages and natural killer cells.Mannose-binding lectin(MBL)is one of collectins circulating in the serum and synthesized by liver.It consists of collagenous domains and carbohydrate recognition domains(CRD).The CRDs recognize sugars including D-mannose,N-acetylmannosamine,N-acetylglu-cosamine and L-fucose on the surface of many pathogens in a calcium-dependent manner[1].Previous studies showed that MBL can bind to a range of clinically relevant microorganisms such as Staphylococcus aureus,Candida Albicans[2],HIV,SARS-CoV,Ebola virus,HSV,influenza virus[3e6].The binding of MBL to microor-ganisms is presumed to induce MBL conformational changes that allow the molecule to initiate viral neutralization or kill virus via opsonization or complement activation[7].Influenza A virus,a segmented single-stranded negative-sense RNA virus,belongs to orthomyxoviridae and is subtyped according to the antigenic properties of their envelope glycoproteins,HA and NA.Currently,16HA subtypes and9NA subtypes circulate in birds. Among them,only seasonal H1N1and H3N2viruses circulate in human population[8].Occasionally,some subtypes of avian*Corresponding author.National Institute for Viral Disease Control and Preven-tion,Chinese Center for Disease Control and Prevention,Key Laboratory for Medical Virology,National Health and Family Planning Commission,155Changbai Road, Beijing102206,PR China.Fax:þ8601063580764.E-mail address:jfz@(J.Zhou).1These authors contributed equally in thisstudy.Contents lists available at ScienceDirectBiochemical and Biophysical Research Communications jou rn al homepage:/locate/ybbrc/10.1016/j.bbrc.2015.01.0700006-291X/©2015The Authors.Published by Elsevier Inc.This is an open access article under the CC BY-NC-ND license(/licenses/by-nc-nd/4.0/).Biochemical and Biophysical Research Communications458(2015)77e81influenza A virus can jump into human and cause diseases with a range of clinical symptoms and outcomes,such as conjunctivitis, mild upper respiratory tract disease,as well as severe pneumonia and death[9e12].Viral HA and NA assist virus binding,entry and releasing during infection cycle.Their potential N-linked glycosyl-ation sites(NGS)can be glycosylated,which might allow their binding to host MBL.It has been found that the glycan at residue 165in H3N2HA was of high-mannose and MBL neutralized viral infectivity via it.Many lines of evidences have shown that the MBL plays an important role infighting against seasonalflu[13e15]. However,little is known about the interactions between avian influenza virus and the innate molecules.Avian influenza H7N9 virus is novel to human population[16,17],which contains the surface HA and NA genes from duck and wild-bird influenza viruses and internal genes from poultry H9N2viruses.Unlike other H7 viruses that generally cause mild symptoms such as conjunctivitis or influenza-like illness(except one fatal case infected with H7N7 in Netherlands in2003),H7N9virus usually results in severe pneumonia or respiratory failure in human.Here,we examined the interactions of MBL with avian influenza virus H7N9,H9N2and human virus H3N2.Furthermore,we studied the molecule mech-anisms for them by structure modeling.2.Materials and methods2.1.VirusThe vaccine strain A/Anhui/1/2013(H7N9)(NIBRG-268)was ob-tained from National Institute for Biological Standards and Control (UK),namely H7N9Vac.The virus bears the HA and NA of A/Anhui/1/ 2013(H7N9)and internal genes of A/Puerto Rico/8/1934(PR8,H1N1); A/Brisbane/10/2007(H3N2)was named as H3N2WT in the study; H9N2virus,a reassortant bearing the HA,NA from A/Hongkong/ 33982/2009(H9N2)and internal genes of PR8,was named as H9N2RG.The reassortant H7N1AH1HAþPR8NA was with HA of A/ Anhui/1/2013and seven genes of PR8,which is rescued as previously reported[18].H7N9Vac,H3N2WT and H7N1AH1HAþPR8NA were propagated in9e11-day-old embryonated chicken eggs,H9N2RG was grown in Madin-Darby canine kidney(MDCK)cells(ATCC,USA) with Modified Eagle's Medium(invitrogen,USA)containing2m g/mL N-tosyl-L-phenylalanine chloromethyl ketone(TPCK)e treated trypsin(Sigma,USA).Virus stocks were purified by adsorption to and elution from turkey red blood cells(TRBCs)and stored atÀ80 Cuntil use[19].Virus titer was determined by titration in MDCK cells and the tissue culture infectious dose affecting50%of the cultures (TCID50)is calculated by the Reed e Muench formula[20].2.2.Detection of MBL binding to influenza virusRecombinant human MBL(rhMBL)was purchased from Sino Biological Inc(Beijing,China).Ninety-six-well plates were coated with2Â105TCID50influenza virus at a volume of100m l/well for overnight at4 C,then were blocked for1h with1%Bovine Serum Albumin(BSA,Roche,Switzerland)at37 C.Different concentra-tions of rhMBL(0,1,3,5,7m g/mL)were added and incubated for 1h at37 C.The virus-dose dependent binding assay was con-ducted as that wells were precoated with2Â102,2Â103,2Â104 and2Â105TCID50influenza viruses per well.Then3m g/mL rhMBL was added and incubated for1h at37 C.The binding was detected by the biotinylated human MBL pAb(0.2m g/mL)(R&D, USA),followed by streptavidin-horseradish peroxidase(HRP) (1:200)(R&D,USA)and tetramethylbenzidine substrate solution (BD,USA),the reaction was stopped by2M H2SO4and the Optical Density(OD)at450nm was measured by ELISA reader(Perkin-Elmer,USA).The wells coated with10m g/mL mannan from Saccharomyces cerevisiae(Sigma,USA)or coating buffer(Kirke-gaard&Perry Laboratories,USA)were used as positive control and negative control respectively.The test was performed in duplicates and in three independent experiments,absorbance from negative control was subtracted and results were normalized to positive control,data was expressed as a relative absorbance value using mean±SEM(%).2.3.Hemagglutination inhibition(HI)assaysHI assay was performed in V-bottom96-well plates as previ-ously described[20].Briefly,25m L influenza virus(4HAU)was mixed with25m L rhMBL of different concentrations diluted in Hank's Balanced Salt Solution(HBSS)containing1.26mM Ca2þfor 1h at37 C,then50m L1%TRBC was added to the mixture and incubate at room temperature for30min.For HI reverse assay: rhMBL was diluted in HBSS containing10mM EDTA or10mg/mL mannan,then incubated with4HAU of influenza virus.The results were expressed as the minimum inhibitory concentration(MIC)of rhMBL that exhibited HI effect.2.4.Neuraminidase activity inhibition(NAI)assaysInfluenza virus NA activity was measured by ELISA in which peanut agglutinin conjugated with HRP was used to detect b-D-galactose-N-acetylglucosamine exposed after removal of sialic acid from fetuin[21].Appropriate amounts of virus in Dulbecco's1X PBS with CaCl2and MgCl2(Life Technologies,USA)were used to perform the NAI assays.Different concentrations of rhMBL were diluted in HBSS containing Ca2þand mixed with influenza virus in a total volume of100m L and preincubated at37 C for1h,and then transferred to wells precoated with fetuin(Sigma,USA)and incu-bated at37 C for4h,After washing,100m L of HRP-labeled peanut lectin(3m g/mL)was added and after1h at room temperature,the wells were washed and o-phenylenediamine dihydrochloride in citrate buffer was added,reaction was stopped by2M H2SO4,and the OD at492nm was measured.The wells only with virus were used as the positive control,the OD of wells with HBSS used as a negative control was subtracted.Results were expressed as relative NA activity(%)calculated as the OD of the tested wells with virus and rhMBL divided by the OD of the wells with only virus.Table1Distances from the

structures were predicted by using the ho-mology modeling method of SWISS-MODEL [22].The modeling structures,corresponding templates and identities are shown in Supplementary Table S1.Potential NGS were identi fied with the NetNGlyc 1.0server (http://www.cbs.dtu.dk/services/NetNGlyc/)using arti ficial neural networks that examine the context of Asn-Xaa-Ser/Thr sequences.The predicted NGS include 86,146,200,234,329and 402of NA,79,105,138,141,142,149,160,181,206,249and 262of HA (H3N2numbering)(Table 1).The NGS at the modeling structures were highlighted in Fig.S1with Pymol (DeLano Scienti fic).The trimer structure of MBL was assembled using MBL crystal structure (PDB code:1HUP)with PISA [23]which generate the oligomeric forms of protein according to the symmetry information.To quantify the distance between RBD/NA activity region and each NGS,we employed the average Euclidean distance of the center (C alpha atom)of every RBD/NA activity region and the center (C alpha atom)of NGS.2.6.Statistical analysisDifferences between groups were tested using non-parametric Kruskal e Wallis analysis of variance (ANOVA)for multiple com-parisons using IBM SPSS Statistics 20.0(IBM,USA)and p <0.05was considered statistically signi ficant.3.Results3.1.Binding of rhMBL with seasonal and avian in fluenza viruses The ELISA results showed that rhMBL bound both seasonal and avian in fluenza viruses in vitro .Incubation with increasingconcentrations of rhMBL resulted in elevated levels of MBL bound to immobilized in fluenza virus,reaching a plateau at 3m g/mL (Fig.1A).Then,3m g/mL rhMBL was used to determine the af finity to increasing amounts of virus,revealing the virus-dose depen-dent binding feature (Fig.1B).High binding of rhMBL to the hu-man H3N2virus might be due to a relatively more NGS in its HA and NA (Table S2),in addition to the glycans attached at the site of 165as previously reported [14].Beyond our expectation,H7N9virus exhibited stronger binding than H9N2virus,reaching a comparable level as human H3N2at higher titers of 2Â104and 2Â105,although fewer NGS was observed in avian H7N9than avian H9N2(Table S2).The differential binding of rhMBL to avian virus might result from the types of oligosaccharide attached and further investigations are needed.The finding demonstrated here implied a possible antiviral effect initiated by rhMBL at early stage of novel avian virus infection since naïve host lacked the pre-existed cross-reactive or speci fic anti-HA or anti-NA antibodies.3.2.Weak HI interference with H7N9virus by rhMBLInitially,we discovered that the lowest concentration for rhMBL (m g/mL,mean ±SEM)to abolish virus-mediated TRBC agglutination was 1.42±0.239,0.083±0.02,0.026±0.005for H7N9vac,H9N2RG and H3N2WT (Table 2),respectively.The HI effect could be reversed in the presence of 5mM EDTA or 5mg/mL mannan,which indicates that HI was calcium-dependent and mannan-inhibitable.We then used a H7N1reassortant obtained HA from H7N9and other seven segments from PR8to exclude a possible hemadsorption by N9reported elsewhere [24].The MIC against the H7N1was 3.67±0.33m g/mL (Table 2),which was remarkably higher than those against H3N2or H9N2virus,indicating a weaker HI effect of rhMBL onH7.Fig.1.Binding of rhMBL to puri fied in fluenza A virus.A.The dose-dependent binding of rhMBL to in

were detected by ELISA,as described in Materials and methods.The absorbance from negative control was subtracted and the results were normalized to positive control,the mannan.Data are expressed as

rhMBL of different concentrations.The maxim concentration of MBL for testing is 0.5m g/mL.J.Guo et al./Biochemical and Biophysical Research Communications 458(2015)77e 81793.3.NAI of H3N2and H9N2by rhMBL not H7N9virusAs shown in Fig.2A,NA activity of H3N2was inhibited by rhMBL in a dose-dependent manner,and the IC 50was 0.0807±0.009m g/mL.Similarly,the rhMBL,at a concentration of 0.0625m g/mL,could inhibit the NA activity of H9N2(Fig.2B).Nevertheless,the relative NA activity of H7N9remained above 50%in the presence of increasing concentration of rhMBL even at up to 10m g/mL.By contrast,the positive control,oseltamivir (Roche,Switzerland)at the concentration of 25m M (equivalent to 7.109m g/mL),could signi ficantly inhibit the NA activity of H7N9(Fig.2C).Furthermore,the inhibition of H3N2NA activity by rhMBL could also be abolished in the presence of 5mM EDTA or 5mg/mL mannan,suggesting that the NAI was calcium-dependent and mediated by lectin domain.3.4.Steric interference between MBL and NGS in HA and NA head RBD in HA,including the motifs of 190-helix,130-and 220-loop,is one of important functional domains [25].NA activity region is composed of 8functional residues (R118,D151,R152,R224,E276,R292,R371and Y406)and 11framework residues (E119,R156,W178,S179,D198,I222,E227,H274,E277,N294and E425)[18].To elucidate a possible interference between MBL and the NGS around the functional motifs:RBD in HA or the NA activity domain,we compared NGS distribution in them by structure modeling (Fig.S1).We also obtained the trimer form of MBL using the crystal structure (PDB code:1HUP)and measured the radius of MBL CRD which is at least 30Å.Although there are indications that trimers of MBL are not biologically active and at least a tetramer form is needed for activation of complement [26],30Åcan be regard as the minimum value.We subsequently calculated the average distances between the NGS located around RBD or NA activity region (Table 1)and speculated that their distance within the size of human MBL CRD,30Å,might affect the functions of HA or NA.As listed in Table S2and Fig.S1,only one conserved NGS on HA head was detected at position 240in the avian H7N9while different pattern was found in H3and H9(63,122,126,133,144,165,246for H3;95,128,198for H9).The distances of NGS located in H3and H9from its individual RBD all are within 30Åwhile it is of 37.3Åat 240NGS in H7N9.Furthermore,the NGS at residue 165,246[14,27]were indeed associated with the sensitivity of human H3N2virus to MBL and 144for 2009pdm H1N1[28].Notably,additional NGS at Site 133in HA emerged in some H7N9strain (4out of 269)and the effect of MBL on it needed further tests.Similarly,only three NGS at 86,146and 200on NA head were found in H7N9and additional sites including 239,329and 402in H3N2and 239and 402in H9N2.Even the distances of NGS in H7N9NA were less than 30Å,we could not detect any NAI effect of MBL on it.The findings might attribute to the absence of effective NGS adjacent to NA functional region,such as 239and 402in both H3N2and H9N2virus,or different glycan type attached.4.DiscussionIn fluenza A virus circulating in animal reservoirs is a continual cause for public health concern.In addition to the ever-present threat of seasonal in fluenza,we also face the threats from novel viruses such as H5N1and H7N9,2009pdm H1N1virus in recent years.Since the viruses can escape from the protection of anti-HA or anti-NA antibodies due to antigenic shift,the innate immunity in naïve host is crucial for battling against newly-emerging viruses.MBL,a pattern-recognition molecule in innate immunity,is known as a b inhibitor for seasonal in fluenza A virus.The average concentration of MBL in healthy human plasma (aged 18e 87years)is 1.72±1.51m g/mL [29],with about 30%of individuals present MBL levels below 0.5m g/mL [30].The antiviral activity of MBL against seasonal in fluenza A virus is via its interactions with viral HA or NA by blocking viral entry,fusion or releasing [15,31].MBL could neutralize the virus either in a complement dependent or inde-pendent manner [13,15],However,the effects of MBL may vary depending on speci fic strains.It also plays an important role in modulating in flammation and has been reported to contribute to deleterious in flammatory response to pdmH1N1and a H9N2avian isolate (A/Quail/Hong Kong/G1/97)[32].Here,we found differential binding of rhMBL to human in flu-enza H3N2and avian H7N9,H9N2viruses.Speci fically,rhMBL exhibited signi ficant HI activity against H3N2and H9N2virus at a relatively low concentration (0.026±0.005,0.083±0.02,respec-tively),while its HI activity on H7N9virus was around 3.67±0.33m g/mL,reaching the upper limit in plasma of healthy population.In contrast,for NAI on H7N9virus,the rhMBL showed little effect even at a high concentration as 10m g/mL.As MBL is supposed to display a steric interference with HA or NA when binding to the speci fic hexose sugars across or adjacent to RBD in HA or activity region in NA,the limited impact of MBL on H7N9might result from its property of few NGS adjacent to functional region on the HA and NA.Of note,a serial of pathotypings including higher virus load,excess chemokine/cytokine responseandFig.2.Inhibition of in fluenza virus Neuraminidase activity by rhMBL.A.Inhibition of

Research Communications 458(2015)77e 8180functional impairments of B and T cells have been observed in H7N9infection cases,particularly in fatal cases[33,34].The aber-rant inflammatory response in H7N9-infected animals could be reversed partially by anti-C5a,indicating a hyperactivated com-plement mediated[35].Therefore,the strong MBL-H7N9virus interaction whereas limited effects on viral HA-receptor binding or NA-mediated releasing,might amplify immune dysfunctions in vivo and confer clinical severity of H7N9infection via activating com-plement pathway and further investigates are needed.Conflict of interestNone reported.AcknowledgmentsWe thank National Institute for Biological Standards and Control (UK)and Centers for Disease Control and Prevention(USA)for providing the

Nerve Growth Factor Stimulates Proliferation and Survival of Human Breast Cancer Cells through Two Distinct Signaling Pathways*Received for publication,November 20,2000,and in revised form,February

Sciences,University of Queensland,St.Lucia,Queensland 4072,Australia,and the ʈLaboratoire d’Oncologie Mole ´culaire Humaine,Centre Oscar Lambret,59020Lille,FranceWe show here that the neurotrophin nerve growth factor (NGF),which has been shown to be a mitogen for breast cancer cells,also stimulates cell survival through a distinct signaling pathway.Breast cancer cell lines (MCF-7,T47-D,BT-20,and MDA-MB-231)were found to express both types of NGF receptors:p140trkA and p75NTR .The two other tyrosine kinase receptors for neu-rotrophins,TrkB and TrkC,were not expressed.The mitogenic effect of NGF on breast cancer cells required the tyrosine kinase activity of p140trkA as well as the mitogen-activated protein kinase (MAPK)cascade,but was independent of p75NTR .In contrast,the anti-apo-ptotic effect of NGF (studied using the ceramide ana-logue C2)required p75NTR as well as the activation of the transcription factor NF-kB,but neither p140trkA nor MAPK was necessary.Other neurotrophins (BDNF,NT-3,NT-4/5)also induced cell survival,although not proliferation,emphasizing the importance of p75NTR in NGF-mediated survival.Both the pharmacological NF-B inhibitor SN50,and cell transfection with IkBm,resulted in a diminution of NGF anti-apoptotic effect.These data show that two distinct signaling pathways are required for NGF activity and confirm the roles played by p75NTR and NF-B in the activation of the survival pathway in breast cancer cells.Nerve growth factor (NGF)1is the archetypal member of theneurotrophin superfamily,which also includes brain-derived neurotrophic factor (BDNF),neurotrophin-3(NT-3),NT-4/5,and NT-6(1).NGF interacts with two classes of membrane receptor:the TrkA proto-oncogene product p140trkA ,which pos-sesses intrinsic tyrosine kinase activity,and a secondary re-ceptor,p75NTR ,that belongs to the tumor necrosis factor (TNF)receptor family (2).The stimulation of cell survival and cell differentiation by NGF and other neurotrophins have been described primarily in neuronal cell systems (3).Although the neurotrophic effect through p140trkA is known to involve the MAPK cascade,the role of p75NTR is still controversial;there is evidence that it can both positively and negatively regulate neuronal cell death and differentiation,depending on the cell type examined (4).In some cases,p75NTR is an inducer of apoptosis,even without NGF stimulation (5),whereas in other cases the activation of p75NTR by NGF results in a protection from cell death (6).In addition to its neurotrophic function,other activities of NGF have been described.For example,NGF can modulate gene expression in monocytes (7),it is chemotac-tic for melanocytes (8),and its inhibition on p75NTR can block the migration of Schwann cells (9).NGF also stimulates the proliferation of chromaffin cells (10),lymphocytes (11),and keratinocytes (12).We have previously shown that NGF is mitogenic for cancerous but not normal human breast cells (13),and these data,as well as others showing a role for NGF in the stimulation of prostatic cancer cells (14–17),implicate NGF in non-neuronal carcinogenesis.Both cellular proliferation as well as tumor cell survival are crucial for malignant progression.The effect of NGF on the survival of cancer cells through the p75NTR receptor has been shown for neuroblastoma (18)and schwannoma (6).In prostate cancer,p75NTR has been shown to be a mediator of NGF’s effects during critical phases of developmental cell death and carcinogenic progression (19).To date only the mitogenic effect of NGF for breast cancer cells has been described (13),with its roles in the control of breast cancer cell survival unknown.In this study,we have shown that,in addition to its mito-genic effect,NGF is also an anti-apoptotic factor for breast cancer cells.These cells express mRNA for both p140trkA and p75NTR receptors.Our results indicate that the mitogenic effect of NGF requires p140trkA and the MAPK cascade,but not the p75NTR receptor,whereas the promotion of cell survival strictly requires p75NTR as well as NF-B,but not p140trkA and MAPK.Thus the mitogenic and anti-apoptotic effects of NGF on breast*This work was supported in part by a grant from the Ligue Na-tionale Contre le Cancer (Comite ´du Nord)and by the French Ministry of Research and Education.The

of15m M MgCl2,1l of10m M dNTP mix,1l of cDNA or total mRNA(for negative control),1l of50m M respective primers,1l of2.5units/l Taq DNA polymerase,and water to a total volume of50l.The PCR conditions were as follows:after95°C for3min for denaturing cDNA,30cycles were run at94°C for1min,57°C for2min,and72°C for3min.The PCR tubes were incubated for a further10min at72°C for the exten-sion of cDNA fragments after the final cycle,and the PCR products were electrophoresed in an agarose gel.Cell Growth Assay—Experiments were performed as previously de-scribed(13).35-mm diameter dishes were inoculated with2ϫ104 cells/dish in2ml of medium containing10%FCS.After24h,cells were washed twice with serum-free medium.Next day,the medium wasreplaced with2ml of serum free medium containing100ng/ml NGF orvarious concentrations of other neurotrophins(BDNF,NT-3,NT-4/5).To study the effect of pharmacological inhibitors or blocking antibodies,various concentrations were added simultaneously with NGF(100ng/ml).After2days of NGF exposure,cells were harvested by trypsiniza-tion and counted using an hemocytometer.Determination of the Percentage of Apoptotic Cell Nuclei—Apoptosisof breast cancer cells was induced by the ceramide analogue C2,whichhas been described as a pro-apoptotic agent for human breast cancercells(21,22).Apoptosis was obtained by treatment with2M C2for 24h.To evaluate the anti-apoptotic activity of NGF,various concen-trations of this factor were tested;we found that the maximal effect wasobtained for100ng/ml.Consequently,this concentration was used in allexperiments with pharmacological inhibitors or blocking antibody.Fordetermination of apoptotic cell percentage,cells were fixed with coldmethanol(Ϫ20°C)for10min and washed twice with phosphate-buff-ered saline(PBS)before staining with1g/ml Hoechst33258for10min at room temperature in the dark.Cells were then washed with PBS andmounted with coverslips using Glycergel(Dako).The apoptotic cellsexhibiting condensed and fragmented nuclei were counted under anOlympus-BH2fluorescence microscope in randomly selected fields.Aminimum of500–1000cells was examined for each condition,andresults were expressed as a ratio of the total number of cells counted.Statistical Analysis and Software—The statistical analysis of thedata gathered from cell and apoptotic nuclei counting was performedusing SPSS version9.0.1(SPSS inc.,Chicago,IL).Analyses of variancewere followed by the Tukey’s test to determine the significance.NGF Receptors and PARP Immunoblotting—Subconfluent cell cul-tures were harvested by scraping in serum-free medium.After centrif-ugation(1000ϫg,5min),the pellet was treated with lysis buffer(0.3%SDS,200m M dithiothreitol)and boiled5min.In the case of PARP,thepellet was lysed with urea-rich buffer(62.5m M Tris-HCl,pH6.8,6Murea,10%glycerol,2%SDS),sonicated and incubated at65°C for15min.The lysates were subjected to SDS-PAGE,transferred onto anitrocellulose membrane(Immobilon-P,Millipore)by electroblotting(100V,75min),and probed with anti-trkA,anti-p75NTR or anti-PARPantibodies at4°C overnight.The membranes were then incubated atroom temperature for3h with biotin-conjugated anti-rabbit(TrkA)oranti-mouse(p75NTR and PARP)immunoglobulin G.After1h of incu-bation with extravidin,the reaction was revealed using the chemilumi-nescence kit ECL(Amersham Pharmacia Biotech)with Kodak X-OmatAR film.Detection of p140trkA and MAPK Activation—Proteins were extractedin lysis buffer(150m M NaCl,50m M Tris,pH7.5,0.1%SDS,1%NonidetP-40,100M sodium orthovanadate)prior to immunoprecipitation. Preclearing was done with protein A-agarose(10l/250l,60min, 4°C).After centrifugation(10,000ϫg,2min),the supernatant wasincubated with monoclonal anti-MAPK(anti-ERK2)antibody(10l/250l,60min,4°C).Protein A-agarose(10l)was added for60min(4°C) and then pelleted by centrifugation(10,000ϫg,2min).The pellet wasthen rinsed three times with lysis buffer and boiled for5min inLaemmli buffer.After SDS-PAGE and electroblotting,nitrocellulosemembranes were blocked with3%bovine serum albumin.Membraneswere then incubated with PY20anti-phosphotyrosine antibody over-night at4°C,rinsed,and incubated with a horseradish peroxidase-conjugated anti-mouse IgG for3h at room temperature.Membraneswere rinsed overnight at4°C before visualization with ECL.Cell Fractionation and NF-B Detection—Cell nuclear extracts were prepared as described by Herrmann et al.(23).Cells were trypsinized and then pelleted in minimal essential medium containing10%FCS. After washing with ice-cold PBS,cells were repelleted and resuspended in400l of ice-cold hypotonic buffer(10m M Hepes,pH7.8,10m M KCl,2m M MgCl2,0.1m M EDTA,10g/ml aprotinin,0.5g/ml leupeptin,3 m M phenylmethylsulfonyl fluoride,and3m M DTT).After10min on ice, 25l of10%Nonidet P-40was added and crude nuclei were collected by centrifugation for5min.The nuclear pellet was resuspended in high salt buffer(50m M Hepes,pH7.4,50m M KCl,300m M NaCl,0.1m M EDTA,10%(v/v)glycerol,3m M DTT,and3m M phenylmethylsulfonyl fluoride).After30min on ice with frequent agitation,the insoluble nuclear material was pelleted in a microcentrifuge for10min.Crude nuclear protein was collected from the supernatant and snap-frozen in a dry ice/ethanol bath.After thawing and boiling for5min in Laemmli buffer,the nuclear extracts were subjected to SDS-PAGE and probed with an anti-NF-B p65antibody.A control was established with anti-lamin B antibody.Transfection of I,c-rel,and rel-A—Cotransfection experiments were carried out using Lipofectin reagent,as described by the manu-Intracellular Signaling Pathways of NGF in Breast Cancer Cells17865facturer.Briefly,MCF-7cells were incubated for 5h in 1ml of Opti-MEM transfection medium containing 8l of Lipofectin reagent,0.8g of green fluorescence protein (GFP)-carrying vector and 0.2g of empty vector PCDNA3or 0.2g of I Bm.In the case of c-rel or rel-A,cells were cotransfected with 0.8g of GFP-carrying GFP and 0.6g of PSVK 3(empty plasmid),c-rel,or rel-A.Cells were then grown for 24h with 10%FCS minimal essential medium and rinsed for 2h in serum-free me-dium before incubation in serum-free medium in the presence or ab-sence of 100ng/ml NGF and/or 2M C2for another 24h.Cells were then fixed with paraformaldehyde 4%(4°C)for 30min,and the per-centage of apoptotic cell nuclei in GFP-stained cells was determined as described above.RESULTSNGF Mitogenic and Anti-apoptotic Activity for Breast Cancer Cells—The effects of 100ng/ml NGF on cell proliferation and C2-induced apoptosis were evaluated by cell counting and Hoechst staining,respectively.The results show that NGF induces an increase in cell number for all breast cancer cell lines tested (Fig.1A ).We have previously demonstrated that NGF has a direct mitogenic effect on breast cancer cells by recruiting cells in G 0phase and by shortening the G 1length (Descamps et al.,1998).In addition,NGF rescued breast cancer cells undergoing C2-induced apoptosis;the maximum survival was observed at 200ng/ml (Fig.1B ).The morphology of cells undergoing this NGF-induced anti-apoptotic rescue was quite distinct (Fig.2A ).The induction of apoptosis by C2was found to involve cleavage of poly(A)DP-ribose polymerase (PARP);this cleavage was reversed by NGF (Fig.2B ).TrkA and p75NTR Expression—RT-PCR was used to show the expression of mRNA for both high and low affinity NGF recep-tors in MCF-7,T47-D,BT-20,and MDA-MB-231cells (Fig.3A );the 102-bp band for the TrkA transcript and a 147-bp band for the p75NTR transcript were readily detectable on 1%agarose gels.Moreover,Western blotting demonstrated that both p140trkA and p75NTR were present in all the breast cancer cell lines (Fig.3B ).Real-time quantitative RT-PCR indicated that there was no significant change in the levels of TrkA and p75NTR mRNAs in the presence of FCS,NGF,or C2(data not shown)and that the levels of mRNA for TrkA and p75NTR in breast cancer cells was between 5and 10times lower than the level observed in SY5Y neuroblastoma cells (data not shown).This indicates that NGF receptor expression in breast cancer cells is relatively limited.It should be noticed that,although mRNA levels of NGF receptors differ between breast cancer cells and SY5Y,the protein levels apparently do not.However,F IG .1.Effect of NGF on the growth and survival of breast cancer cells.A ,breast cancer cells were serum-deprived in minimum essential medium,and after 24h the NGF (100ng/ml)was added.After 48h,cells were harvested and counted.B ,cells were serum-deprived in minimum essential medium and treated with 2M C2with or without 100ng/ml NGF.After 24h,cells were fixed and the proportion of apoptotic nuclei were determined after Hoechst staining under an Olympus-BH2fluorescence microscope.For measurement of both cell number and apoptosis,results are expressed as the means ϮS.D.of five separate experiments.Significance was determined using the Tukey’s test (*,p Ͻ0.01).F IG .2.Anti-apoptotic effect of NGF.A ,Hoechst staining of apop-totic cell nuclei in control,C2and C2ϩNGF-treated MCF-7cells.Cells were serum-deprived in minimum essential medium and treated with C2.NGF was added at 100ng/ml.After 24h,cells were fixed and apoptotic nuclei were observed after Hoechst staining.B ,immunoblot detection of PARP cleavage.C2-induced PARP cleavage was reversed by p75NTR activation mediated by NGF.MCF-7cells were serum-de-prived in minimum essential medium for 24h and were then treated with 100ng/ml NGF in the presence or absence of 2M C2,10n M K-252a,10M PD98059,or 10g/ml anti-p75NTR -blocking antibody (Euromedex)for another 24-h period.Proteins were detected after SDS-PAGE of cell preparations from MCF-7breast cancer cells,electro-blotting onto nitrocellulose,and immunodetection with anti-PARP antibodies.Intracellular Signaling Pathways of NGF in Breast Cancer Cells17866it has been shown before that the level of a given cellular protein cannot be simply deduced from mRNA transcript level (24).One could hypothesize that the stability of mRNA and/or protein for NGF receptors,differs between breast cancer cells and neuroblastoma cells,leading to the observed disproportion-ality between mRNA and protein levels.Involvement of p140trkA and p75NTR in Mitogenic and Sur-vival Activities of NGF—We used a combination of specific antibodies and pharmacological inhibitors to study the puta-tive functions of p140trkA and p75NTR in the stimulation of proliferation and cell survival induced by NGF.The Trk tyro-sine kinase inhibitor K-252a,and the MEK inhibitor PD98059,both strongly inhibited the growth-stimulatory effect of NGF on MCF-7cells,but had no effect on its anti-apoptotic effects (Fig.4).Conversely,neither the anti-p75NTR blocking antibody nor the NF-B inhibitor SN50affected NGF-stimulated prolif-eration,although both strongly reduced the anti-apoptotic ef-fects (Fig.4).The tyrosine kinase activity of p140trkA was inhibited by K-252a but not by the anti-p75NTR or PD98059(Fig.5).On the other hand,the activity of the MAPKs was inhibited by K-252a and PD98059but not by the anti-p75NTR (Fig.5).It should be noted that the SN50peptidic inhibitor of NF-B,similarly to the anti-p75NTR ,inhibited the anti-apo-ptotic effect of NGF but neither its proliferative effect nor its activation of p140trkA and MAPKs.The effect of other neuro-trophins on MCF-7cell growth and survival was also evaluated (Fig.6A ).In contrast to NGF,no proliferative effect was pro-vided by BDNF,NT-3,or NT-4/5.However,all neurotrophins tested exhibited a rescue effect on C2-treated cells that was not altered in the presence of the trk inhibitor K-252a (Fig.6B ).These data suggest that trk receptors are not involved in NGF survival activity.Moreover,the participation of trkB and trkCin these events can be ruled out,because they are not expressed in these breast cancer cells (Fig.6C ).NF-B Involvement in the Anti-apoptotic Effect of NGF—The inhibitory effect of SN50on the NGF anti-apoptotic activity indicated the potential involvement of NF-B in the signaling leading to the protective activity of this growth factor.To fur-ther investigate this phenomenon,we studied the effect of NGF on the nuclear translocation of NF-B,as well as the conse-quence of transfection by IkBm (an inhibitor of NF-B)or by c-rel and rel-A (constitutively active subunits of NF-B)on the NGF-mediated anti-apoptotic activity in MCF-7cells.Western blotting revealed no change in the nuclear levels of NF-B (p65)during apoptosis induced by C2(Fig.7).In contrast,the addi-tion of NGF on C2-treated cells induced a translocation of NF-B from cytoplasm to puterized quantifica-tion revealed a doubling p65band intensity normalized to the total intensity of the lane (data not shown).Moreover,this NF-B nuclear translocation was inhibited by the presence of p75NTR -blocking antibody or SN50,but was not affected by K-252a and PD98059.Interestingly,in the absence of C2-in-duced apoptosis NGF was not able to induce the nuclear trans-location of NF-B,confirming previous observations that p75NTR -mediated NF-B activation requires cell stress (25).Transfection of MCF-7cells with IkBm,an inhibitor of NF-B,reversed the anti-apoptotic effect of NGF (Fig.8A ).As a control,we transfected MCF-7cells with an empty vector;no effect was observed.In addition,transfection with activators of the NF-B pathway,c-rel or rel-A (Fig.8B ),resulted in an inhibition of C2-induced apoptosis of MCF-7cells,even in absence ofNGF,F IG .3.TrkA and p75NTR expression in breast cancer cells.A ,agarose gel electrophoresis of RT-PCR

that,in addition to its mitogenic activity,NGF is anti-apoptotic for breast cancer cells,and that these two biological effects are differentially mediated by the p140trkA and p75NTR receptors,respectively.The growth of breast cancer results from a balance between cell proliferation and apoptosis,both of which can be modulated by various regulatory peptides.For example,epidermal growth factor,fibroblast growth factors,and insulin-like growth factor-1can all stimulate the proliferation and survival of breast cancer cells (26).On the other hand,agents such as transforming growth factor-or tumor necrosis factor-␣can inhibit growth and induce apoptosis in these cells (27).Recently we have shown that NGF,which was primarily described for its neuro-trophic properties,is a strong mitogen for cancerous but not for normal human breast epithelial cells,suggesting a crucial func-tion for this factor in the initiation and progression of human breast tumors (13).In the present study,we have shown that the breast cancer cells express transcripts for both TrkA and p75NTR receptors.In contrast,no expression of TrkB and TrkC was found in any of the breast cancer cells tested,in accordance with the fact that BDNF,NT-3,or NT-4/5have no mitogenic effect for these cells.The presence of NGF receptors has been detected previously in breast cancer cells (28),and low levels of NGF receptor expression have recently been reported in other breast cancer cell lines (29),leading to the hypothesis of a recruitment and cooperation between p140trkA and p185Her-2for the induction of mitogenesis by NGF.Our results indicate a stimulation of p140trkA tyrosine kinase activity and of the MAPK cascade by NGF,and the use of the pharmacological inhibitors K-252a and PD98059demonstrate the requirementfor these signals in NGF-induced MCF-7cell proliferation.The induction of MAPK activity required p140trkA activation,but p75NTR did not appear to be involved,because p75NTR -blocking antibodies did not have any effect on NGF-inducedMAPKF IG .5.p140trkA and MAPK activation.MCF-7cells were treated with 100ng/ml NGF in the presence or absence of 10n M K-252a,10g/ml

NGF,neither BDNF,NT-3,nor NT-4/5displayed significant bioactivity (for concen-trations up to 400ng/ml).B ,MCF-7cells were serum-deprived in minimum essential medium and treated with 2M C2,with or without neurotrophins (100ng/ml NGF,50ng/ml BDNF,50ng/ml NT-3,100ng/ml NT-4/5).After 24h,cells were fixed and apoptotic nuclei percent-age was determined after Hoechst staining under an

以癫痫起病及DNAJC5基因突变的成人型神经元蜡样脂褐质沉积症家系以癫痫起病及DNAJC5基因突变的成人型神经元蜡样脂褐质沉积症家系神经元蜡样脂褐质沉积症(neuroaxonal dystrophy of adult life,NAD)是一种罕见的神经系统退行性变性疾病,主要累及中枢神经系统。
在中国,NAD的家系报告相对较少,因此,了解该疾病的病因和临床特征对于提高诊断和治疗水平是至关重要的。
经过长期的研究和临床观察,我们发现了一宗以癫痫起病的成人型NAD家系。
这个特殊家系中的患者常常在成年后发病,并出现了癫痫发作的症状。
我们对这家系的成员进行了详细的临床检查,并进行了基因突变分析。
基因突变分析结果显示,该家系的患者普遍存在DNAJC5基因突变。
DNAJC5基因编码的蛋白是一个重要的脑细胞内转运蛋白,对于细胞蜡样脂褐质(ceroid lipofuscin)的降解有重要作用。
该基因突变引起了DNAJC5蛋白功能异常,导致脑细胞内蜡样脂褐质的过度积累,最终导致神经元的损伤和功能障碍。
此外,我们还在家系成员的脑组织中进行了蜡样脂褐质沉积症的病理学研究。
研究结果显示,在患者的脑组织中观察到了显著增加的蜡样脂褐质沉积和神经元退变,这与成人型神经元蜡样脂褐质沉积症的典型病理特征一致。
针对该家系的临床特点和基因突变结果,我们建议家族成员进行基因检测,以早期发现潜在的患者并进行预防治疗。
此外,我们也呼吁加强对于NAD的病因和发病机制的研究,以提高诊断和治疗水平。
综上所述,通过对一宗以癫痫起病及DNAJC5基因突变的成人型神经元蜡样脂褐质沉积症家系的研究,我们了解了该疾病的临床特征和遗传基础。
这对于促进相关疾病的诊断和治疗具有重要意义。
希望未来能有更多的研究关注该疾病的病因和发病机制,以提供更好的临床管理和康复方案综合以上研究结果,我们发现DNAJC5基因突变是成人型神经元蜡样脂褐质沉积症的主要遗传基础。
该基因突变导致DNAJC5蛋白功能异常,进而导致脑细胞内蜡样脂褐质的过度积累,最终引起神经元损伤和功能障碍。
