目的拟借助微粒体膜和体外转录翻译系统来研究分泌型TNFα(S-TNF-α)的产生机制及S-TNF-α和跨膜型TNFα(TM-TNF-α)的关系。方法首先将分子量为17×103S-TNF(不含编码TNF信号肽的基因)、26×103TM-TNF(含信号肽基因)和17×103S-TNF突变体(S-TNFm,用IL-2信号肽密码子置换TNF信号肽序列)的全长cDNA片段分别亚克隆于含T7启动子的pGEM-3Zf载体,然后利用体外转录翻译系统,在微粒体膜存在和不存在的情况下,体外翻译合成S-TNF、TM-TNF及其S-TNFm。结果经Westernblot分析结果表明:微粒体的存在并不改变26×103TM-TNF的分子量,但微粒体的存在能将S-TNFm上的IL-2信号肽切除,证实TNF引导序列与一般分泌性蛋白的“信号肽”不同,在粗面内质网翻译过程中不被切除。进一步酶切分析表明TM-TNF是通过某些金属蛋白酶酶解作用而被转换成S-TNF的。结论实验结果提示17×103S-TNF产生机制可能是:TNF产生细胞经LPS等激活后,导致TNF基因转录翻译增加,首先形成26×103TNF,并借助其信号肽疏水氨基酸部分将之“锚定”?
Objective To investigate the mechanism of secreting TNFα (S-TNF-α) and the relationship between S-TNF-α and transmembrane-type TNFα (TM-TNF-α) by means of microsomal membrane and in vitro transcriptional translation system. Methods First, the 17x103S-TNF (excluding the gene encoding the TNF signal peptide), the 26x103TM-TNF (containing the signal peptide gene) and the 17x103S-TNF mutant Peptide codon replacement TNF signal peptide sequence) were subcloned into the pGEM-3Zf vector containing the T7 promoter, respectively, and then translated in vitro using the in vitro transcriptional translation system in the presence and absence of microsomal membranes S-TNF, TM-TNF and S-TNFm. Results Western blot analysis showed that the presence of microsomes did not change the molecular weight of 26 × 103TM-TNF, but the presence of microsomes cleaved the IL-2 signal peptide of S-TNFm and confirmed that the interaction between TNF-targeting sequences and general secreted proteins Of the “signal peptide” is different from the rough endoplasmic reticulum translation process is not removed. Further digestion analysis revealed that TM-TNF is converted to S-TNF by enzymatic hydrolysis of certain metalloproteases. Conclusion The experimental results suggest that the mechanism of 17 × 103S-TNF production may be as follows: After TNF-α-producing cells are activated by LPS and other factors, the transcript of TNF gene is increased. First, 26 × 103TNF is formed and “anchored” by the hydrophobic amino acid part of its signal peptide ?
