ABSTRACT

<p><b>OBJECTIVE</b>To investigate the regulatory effect of ATP?binding cassette transporter A1 (ABCA1) knockdown on inflammatory response induced by Pam3CSK4 in mouse mononuclear macrophage RAW264.7 cell line.</p><p><b>METHODS</b>A mouse mononuclear macrophage RAW264.7 cell line with stable ABCA1 knockdown was constructed and stimulated with Toll?like receptor 2 (TLR2) ligand Pam3CSK4, and the changes in the transcriptional levels of the proinflammatory and anti-inflammatory cytokines were analyzed in this cell model.</p><p><b>RESULTS</b>In RAW264.7 cells, ABCA1 knockdown significantly up-regulated Pam3CSK4 stimulation?induced expressions of IL?1β, TNF?α and IL?6 and also enhanced the expression of transcription factor cAMP?dependent transcription factor 3 (ATF3) without obviously affecting the expressions of the transcription factors ATF1, ATF2, ATF4 or ATF5.</p><p><b>CONCLUSION</b>ABCA1 knockdown in macrophages may have both proinflammatory and anti?inflammatory effects. ABCA1 knockdown up?regulates the transcription of ATF3 possibly through a mechanism that is different from that for the other members of the ATF protein family.</p>

ABSTRACT

Objective Measurement and analysis of the complete genome sequences of Yersinia Pestis from a new plague natural foci and adjacent foci in China, to know the genetic relationship among the epidemic strain isolated in Yulong (D 106004) and Jianchuan strains (D 182038) and the Tibetan strain ( Z 176003 ). Methods Three complete genome sequences were sequenced using the whole-genome shotgun and Solexa method and comparative genomics analysis was done among the three sequences. Genome comparative analysis among the coding sequences was done by BLAST software, SNPs finding was done by the program, genome rearrangements were analyzed using MAUVE software. Results All of the genomes of Yersinia pestis strains D182038, D106004 and Z176003 consist of a single circular chromosome and three virulence plasmids, pMT1, pCD1 and pPCP1. They had similar characteristics in chromosome and plasmid features, and there were no significant difference in coming sequence (CDS) of the cluster of orthologous groups of proteins (COG) functional classification and the number of insertion sequence in the three strains (x2 =3.03, 0.257, all P > 0.05). The comparative genomics results showed that the three bacteria had 2882 genes with 100% homology, of 3636 genes predicted in D106004, 2994 were identical with D182038's and 3113 with Z176003's, and of which 240 had 90% homology with D182038's and 200 with Z176003 's. Synonymous single nucleotide polymorphisms(sSNPs) were 59 and 68, and non-synonymous SNPs(nsSNPs) were 104 and 203 between strains D106004 and Z176003/D182038. There were 11 segments rearrangements between D106004 and Z176003, which was less than 16 segments rearrangements between D106004 and D182038. ConclusionsThe three strains are highly homologous, the Yulong strain has more similarity with Tibet strain than with Jianchuan strain, the strain from Yulong foci may be evolved from Tibet foci.
