RESUMO
As confusion mounts over RNA isoforms involved in phenotypic plasticity, aberrant CpG methylation-mediated disruption of alternative splicing is increasingly recognized as a driver of intratumor heterogeneity (ITH). Protease serine 3 (PRSS3), possessing four splice variants (PRSS3-SVs; PRSS3-V1-V4), is an indispensable trypsin that shows paradoxical effects on cancer development. Here, we found that PRSS3 transcripts and their isoforms were divergently expressed in lung cancer, exhibiting opposing functions and clinical outcomes, namely, oncogenic PRSS3-V1 and PRSS3-V2 versus tumor-suppressive PRSS3-V3, by targeting different downstream genes. We identified an intragenic CpG island (iCpGI) in PRSS3. Hypermethylation of iCpGI was mediated by UHRF1/DNMT1 complex interference with the binding of myeloid zinc finger 1 (MZF1) to regulate PRSS3 transcription. The garlic-derived compound diallyl trisulfide cooperated with 5-aza-2'-deoxycytidine to exert antitumor effects in lung adenocarcinoma cells through site-specific iCpGI demethylation specifically allowing MZF1 to upregulate PRSS3-V3 expression. Epigenetic silencing of PRSS3-V3 via iCpGI methylation (iCpGIm) in BALF and tumor tissues was associated with early clinical progression in patients with lung cancer but not in those with squamous cell carcinoma or inflammatory disease. Thus, UHRF1/DNMT1-MZF1 axis-modulated site-specific iCpGIm regulates divergent expression of PRSS3-SVs, conferring nongenetic functional ITH, with implications for early detection of lung cancer and targeted therapies.
RESUMO
Objective@# To investigate the effects of over expression and low expression of antisense transcripts of circular RNA cerebellar degeneration associated protein 1 (CDR1as) in Balb/C mouse bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells (BMSCs) on factors related to osteogenesis and angiogenesis.@*Methods@#BMSCs were cultured and identified in vitro. The lentiviral (LV) vector containing the overexpressed and silenced circRNA CDR1as genes and the control lentivirus were respectively transfected into mouse BMSCs, and stable cell lines were screened. The cells were divided into the circRNACDR1as over expression group and the over expression control group, and the CircRNACDR1as low expression group and the low expression control group. The components were stained with Alizarin Red S and alkaline phosphatase after 14 and 21 days of osteoinduction; qRT-PCR was used to detect the target genes circRNA CDR1as, osteogenic differentiation markers alkaline phosphatase (ALP), runt- related transcription factor 2 (RUNX2), osteocalcin (OCN), osteopontin (OPN), osterix(Osx), collagen I (COL-1), and the mRNA expression levels of vascular endothelial grown factor (VEGF) and angiogenin-1 (Ang-1). @*Results@# The results of alizarin red staining and alkaline phosphatase staining showed that the extracellular matrix calcium precipitation and ALP staining area of the over expression experimental group was greater than its control group, and those of the low expression experimental group was less than its control group. As the number of days of osteogenic induction increased, the calcium precipitation and ALP staining in each group also increased. RT-PCR results showed that the mRNA expression levels of circRNA CDR1as, ALP, RUNX2, OCN, OPN, OSX, COL-1, VEGF and Ang-1 in the over expression experimental group BMSCs were significantly increased (P<0.001). In the low expression experimental group, the mRNA expression levels of circRNA CDR1as, ALP, RUNX2, OCN, OPN, OSX, COL-1, VEGF and Ang-1 in BMSCs were significantly reduced (P<0.001). @*Conclusion@# Over expression of the circRNA CDR1as gene promotes the osteogenic differentiation and angiogenesis of BMSCs. Low expression of the circRNA CDR1as gene inhibits the osteogenic differentiation and angiogenesis of BMSCs.
RESUMO
Objective:To evaluate the potential of a previously identified CDR3 only single-domain antibodies (sdAbs) fragment, NBL42, as a general framework for affinity transfer.Methods:The H3 loops of VHH-A4(A4), VHH-H5(H5), cAb-Lys3(L3) and B6H12 which bind with alliinase, PD-1, lysozyme and CD47, respectively, were grafted into the corresponding loop of NBL42. The genes of the reconstituted CDR3 only sdAbs were synthesized, expressed in E. coliand purified with Ni 2+ column affinity chromatography. The antigen binding and stability of the recombinant CDR3 only sdAbs were assayed by ELISA. Results:The recombinant NBL42-A4CDR3, NBL42-H5CDR3, NBL42-L3CDR3 and NBL42-B6H12CDR3 ran as a single peak at 15, 15, 28 and 16 kDa, respectively, in SDS-PAGE as expected molecular weight. Grafted sdAbs NBL42-A4CDR3 and NBL42-H5CDR3 expressed in a soluble form and specifically bind with alliinase and PD-1, respectively, but lost about 50% of their binding activity. In contrast, the grafted sdAbs NBL42-Lys3CDR3 and NBL42-B6H12CDR3 completely lost their antigen binding capacity. NBL42 sdAbs and grafted sdAbs NBL42-A4CDR3 and NBL42-H5CDR3 retain roughly half of their binding activity after 90 ℃ heat treatment, indicating high stability. The C88Y mutation in NBL42 and the Swiss Mode 3D model predicted that the C88Y residue in FR3 may play a key role in NBL42 stability and CDR3 affinity transfer.Conclusions:The structure of NBL42 has potential as a framework for CDR3 transplantation and affinity transfer.

RESUMO
OBJECTIVE@#To evaluate the synergy of the Burkholderia signaling molecule cis-2-dodecenoic acid (BDSF) and fluconazole (FLU) or itraconazole (ITRA) against two azole-resistant C. albicans clinical isolates in vitro and in vivo.@*METHODS@#Minimum inhibitory concentrations (MICs) of antibiotics against two azole-resistant C. albicans were measured by the checkerboard technique, E-test, and time-kill assay. In vivo antifungal synergy testing was performed on mice. Analysis of the relative gene expression levels of the strains was conducted by quantitative reverse-transcription polymerase chain reaction (qRT-PCR).@*RESULTS@#BDSF showed highly synergistic effects in combination with FLU or ITRA with a fractional inhibitory concentration index of ⪕ 0.08. BDSF was not cytotoxic to normal human foreskin fibroblast cells at concentrations of up to 300 μg/mL. The qRT-PCR results showed that the combination of BDSF and FLU/ITRA significantly inhibits the expression of the efflux pump genes CDR1 and MDR1 via suppression of the transcription factors TAC1 and MRR1, respectively, when compared with FLU or ITRA alone. No dramatic difference in the mRNA expression levels of ERG1, ERG11, and UPC2 was found, which indicates that the drug combinations do not significantly interfere with UPC2-mediated ergosterol levels. In vivo experiments revealed that combination therapy can be an effective therapeutic approach to treat candidiasis.@*CONCLUSION@#The synergistic effects of BDSF and azoles may be useful as an alternative approach to control azole-resistant Candida infections.

Monoclonal antibodies (mAbs) are widely used in many fields due to their high specificity and ability to recognize a broad range of antigens. IL-17A can induce a rapid inflammatory response both alone and synergistically with other proinflammatory cytokines. Accumulating evidence suggests that therapeutic intervention of IL-17A signaling offers an attractive treatment option for autoimmune diseases and cancer. Here, we present a combinatorial approach for optimizing the affinity and thermostability of a novel anti-hIL-17A antibody. From a large naïve phage-displayed library, we isolated the anti-IL-17A mAb 7H9 that can neutralize the effects of recombinant human IL-17A. However, the modest neutralization potency and poor thermostability limit its therapeutic applications. affinity optimization was then used to generate 8D3 by using yeast-displayed random mutagenesis libraries. This resulted in four key amino acid changes and provided an approximately 15-fold potency increase in a cell-based neutralization assay. Complementarity-determining regions (CDRs) of 8D3 were further grafted onto the stable framework of the huFv 4D5 to improve thermostability. The resulting hybrid antibody 9NT/S has superior stabilization and affinities beyond its original antibody. Human fibrosarcoma cell-based assays and analyses in mice indicated that the anti-IL-17A antibody 9NT/S efficiently inhibited the secretion of IL-17A-induced proinflammatory cytokines. Therefore, this lead anti-IL-17A mAb might be used as a potential best-in-class candidate for treating IL-17A related diseases.

RESUMO
We used the antibody grafting technology to prepare anti-hCG single-domain antibodies on the basis of antigen-binding peptide to simplify the single-domain antibody preparation process and improving the biochemical stability of peptide. By using a universal single-domain antibody backbone (cAbBCII10), CDR1 or CDR3 was replaced by the hCG-binding peptide, and the grafted antibody gene sequences were synthesized and cloned into the prokaryotic expression vector pET30a(+) in fusion with a C-terminal sfGFP gene, i.e. pET30a-(His6)-cAbBCII10-CDR1/hCGBP1-sfGFP and pET30a-(His6)-cAbBCII10-CDR3/hCGBP3-sfGFP. The recombinant plasmids were transformed into E. coli BL21(DE3), and the fusion proteins were induced by IPTG. Highly soluble recombinant fusion proteins were obtained and purified by Ni-NTA affinity column. SDS-PAGE confirmed the purified protein as the target protein. The antigen-antibody binding assay showed that both the CDR1 and CDR3 grafted antibodies have hCG-binding activities. While the titers of the two grafted antibodies were similar, the binding affinity of CDR3 grafted antibody was higher than that of CDR1 grafted protein (about 2-3 times). The grafted antibodies retained the relatively high biochemical stability of the single-domain antibody backbone and were relatively thermostable and alkaline tolerant. The obtained antibodies also had a relatively high antigen-binding specificity to hCG. This study provided a reliable experimental basis for further optimization of anti-hCG single domain antibody by antibody grafting technology using antigen-binding peptide.
RESUMO
The use of serum containing polyclonal antibodies from animals immunized with toxins marked the beginning of the application of antibody-based therapy in late nineteenth century. Advances in basic research led to the development of the hybridoma technology in 1975. Eleven years later, the first therapeutic monoclonal antibody (mAb) was approved, and since then, driven by technological advances, the development of mAbs has played a prominent role in the pharmaceutical industry. In this review, we present the developments to circumvent problems of safety and efficacy arising from the murine origin of the first mAbs and generate structures more similar to human antibodies. As of October 2017, there are 61 mAbs and 11 Fc-fusion proteins in clinical use. An overview of all mAbs currently approved is provided, showing the development of sophisticated mAbs formats that were engineered based on the challenges posed by therapeutic indications, including antibody-drug conjugates (ADC) and glycoengineered mAbs. In the field of immunotherapy, the use of immunomodulators, bispecific mAbs and CAR-T cells are highlighted. As an example of promising therapy to treat infectious diseases, we discuss the generation of neutralizing monoclonal-oligoclonal antibodies obtained from human B cells. Scientific and technological advances represent mAbs successful translation to the clinic

RESUMO
To investigate the effect of CDR1/CDR2 or MDR1 genes overexpression on oxidative stress in Candida albicans,we evaluated the effect of H2O2 on cell viability in C.albicans overexpressing genes CDR1 /CDR2 or MDR1 and their parent strains.After establishing an oxidative stress model with H2O2,we detected reactive oxygen species (ROS),mitochondrial membrane potential (Δψm) and the expression of oxidative stress response-related genes (CAP1 and GRP2) and ROS clearance related-genes (SOD2 and SOD5).The results showed that C.albicans growth were inhibited by 100% after the treatment of 5 mmol/L H2O2.HeO2 caused more ROS accumulation and Δψm reduction in parent strains than in CDR1/CDR2 or MDR1 genes overexpressed strains (P<0.05).Compared to parent strains,the up-regulated expression of CAP1 and GRP2 were relatively less in CDR1/CDR2 or MDR1 genes overexpressed strains,moreover,the down-regulated expression of SOD2 and SOD5 were also relatively less in CDR1/CDR2 or MDR1 genes overexpressed strains (P<0.05).In conclusion,the overexpression of CDR1/CDR2 and MDR1 genes could reduce the oxidative stress response and enhance the adaptability of C.albicans to oxidative stress.
RESUMO
Objective To investigate the mechanism and cause of the inactivation of tumor suppressor gene RNF180 in prostate cancer cell line by observing the effect of 5-Aza-CdR on the RNF180 gene in prostate cancer cell line DU145. Methods MTT method was adopted to study the effect of 5-Aza-CdR(0,1,2,5,10,15 and 20μmoI/L)on the proliferation of prostate cancer cells. Western blotting,real-time PCR,and methyla-tion specific PCR(MSP)were separately used to detect the expression of RNF180 in prostate cancer cells before and after the treatment of the most suitable drug concentration(5μmoI/L). Results In a certain range,the effect of 5-Aza-CdR on the proliferation of prostate cancer cell line DU145 was increased with the increase of drug concentration and the time of drug treatment(P<0.05). After the treatment of the most suitable drug concentration,the protein and mRNA expression of RNF180 in prostate cancer cells was significantly increased(P<0.05),but the methyla-tion of the promoter region was obviously decreased. Conclusion 5-Aza-CdR can reverse the methylation status of RNF180 gene in DU145 pros-tate cancer cell line,and relieve the silencing status of RNF180gene expression.

RESUMO
Objective To analyze the immunogenomic characteristics of antibody repertoire in re-sponse to influenza vaccine in order to provide a theoretical basis for further development of antibody. Meth-ods Based on a time-series immunoglobulin heavy chain ( IGH) repertoire sequencing dataset, we analyzed the immunogenomic characteristics of antibody repertoire in response to trivalent influenza vaccine ( TIV ) from three aspects which included the features in complementarity-determining region 3 ( CDR3 ) , antibody mutation and VDJ usage. Results The frequency of antibody mutation increased significantly upon vaccina-tion. Analysis of the CDR3 region indicated that polar and aromatic amino acids had a higher preference. The length of CDR3 region in naive B cells followed a normal distribution, while specific CDR3 sequences with 15 to 18 amino acids in length occupied a dominant position after vaccination. In addition, the VDJ us-age altered obviously and IGHV3-7-derived antibody had a significant response to the vaccine. Response in-tensity reached the peak on day 7 and gradually weakened over time. Conclusion Antibody repertoire evolves dynamically to express specific antibody upon vaccination and the characteristics of immune responses at sequence level could be used to evaluate their effectiveness.
RESUMO
Objective To explore the function of 5-Aza-CdR in B-cell acute lymphocytic leukemia cell line NALM-6 and its influence on the expression of microRNA (miRNA) in the cells. Methods NALM-6 was treated with different concentrations of 5-Aza-CdR. Cell proliferation was detected by methyl thiazolyl tetrazolium (MTT) test, and DNA methyltransferase (DNMT) mRNA expression level was detected by reverse transcription PCR (RT-PCR). The expression changes of miRNA were detected by miScript miRNA PCR Array chip in cells after methylation. Results NALM-6 cell growth was inhibited by different concentrations of 5-Aza-CdR processing time, reaching to the maximum inhibitory rate was (74.163 ±0.381) %. 5-Aza-CdR affected concentrations was inversely proportional with expression level of DNMT mRNA. After 1 000 μmol/L of 5-Aza-CdR was dealed with cell 72 h, the relative expression of DNMT-1 was reduced to 0.453 ±0.021, DNMT-3L was 0.003±0.001, DNMT-3B was 0.395±0.019. MiScript miRNA PCR array sieved out 3 miRNA (miR-184, miR-23a-3p, miR-34a-5p) associated with DNA methylation. Conclusions 5-Aza-CdR down regulates the expression of DNMT gene in NALM-6 cells, and inhibits the proliferation of cells. MiR-184, miR-23a-3p and miR-34a-5p are related to DNA methylation in the occurrence and development of B-cell acute lymphocytic leukemia.
