Detection of monoclonal antibody to high-mobility-group protein 17 from chick oviduct.

ABSTRACT: Total chromosomal HMG (high-mobility-group) proteins have been isolated from oestrogen-stimulated chick oviduct. The antibodies against these proteins were induced in mice and subsequently their spleen cells were fused with myeloma cells to form hybridomas. A highly purified HMG protein, 17, was used to select for the hybridomas that produce antibody against HMG protein 17. The hybridomas were cultured and injected into mice to produce ascites. The antibody against HMG protein 17 in the IgG (immunoglobulin G) fraction of the ascites fluid was obtained by Protein A-Sepharose column chromatography. We have devised a solid-phase radioimmunoassay and enzyme-linked serological assay for the detection and characterization of this antibody directed against HMG protein 17. This anti-(HMG protein 17) IgG interacted only with HMG protein 17, but not with other chromosomal proteins, e.g. histone H1, "95K protein' (a chick oviduct-specific chromosomal protein) and HMG proteins 1, 2 and 14. The monospecific nature of this anti-(HMG protein 17) IgG fraction is confirmed.

Isolation of a high-molecular-weight high-mobility-group-type non-histone protein from hen oviduct.

Project description:An organ-specific non-histone protein, with a mol.wt. of 95,000, was isolated from hen oviduct. This protein consists of approximately equal amounts of acidic and basic amino acids and has an isolectric point of 7.4. On the basis of its known characteristics, this protein is similar to the high-mobility-group proteins observed in other tissues.

Studies on the high-mobility-group non-histone proteins from hen oviduct.

Project description:Nuclear high-mobility-group (HMG) proteins were isolated from hen oviduct. These were proteins HMG-1, -2, -3, -14 and -17, which are equivalent to the classification of calf thymus HMG proteins. Hen oviduct proteins HMG-1 and -2 were individually isolated by HCIO4.extraction and CM-Sephadex chromatographic separation. Their mol.wts. were determined as 28 000 and 27 000, respectively. The proteins have a high content of acidic and basic amino acids. The association of proteins HMG-1 and -2 with the genome of hen oviduct nuclei was probed by a limited digestion with nucleases. Hen oviduct nuclei were incubated with deoxyribonuclease I or micrococcal nuclease until 10% of the DNA was digested. The nuclear suspension was centrifuged and the contents of proteins HMG-1 and -2 in the supernatant and sediment fractions were analysed by polyacrylamide-gel electrophoresis. HMG proteins were found to be preferentially released by micrococcal-nuclease digestion rather than by deoxyribonuclease I.

Changes in quantities of high-mobility-group protein 1 in oviduct cellular fractions after oestrogen stimulation.

Project description:Antiserum against chick oviduct high-mobility-group protein 1 (HMG 1) has been induced in the rabbit. With this antiserum, immunobiochemical techniques have been used to probe the quantitative change of HMG 1 in the cellular fractions of chick oviduct before or after oestrogen stimulation. HMG 1 is detectable in the cytosol, microsomal and nuclear fraction of the chick oviduct cell. After administration of oestrogen to young chicks in vivo for 5 days, the quantity of HMG 1 is increased 4-fold in the cytosol, 3.5-fold in the microsomal fraction and 1.6-fold in the nuclear fraction. The finding of large amounts of HMG 1 in cytoplasm of oviduct cell is not likely due to its leakage from the nucleus. We anticipate that HMG 1 is synthesized in the cytoplasm and then transported into the nucleus. The synthesis and transportation of HMG proteins is probably regulated by oestrogen.

High Mobility Group protein mediated transcription requires DNA damage marker Î³-H2AX

Project description:The eukaryotic genome is organized into chromatin, which constitutes the physiological template for DNA-dependent processes including replication, recombination, repair and transcription. Chromatin mediated transcription regulation involves histone modifications, chromatin remodeling and DNA methylation. However, the precise biological function of non-histone chromatin-associated proteins is still unclear. The high mobility group proteins are the most abundant non-histone chromatin-associated proteins. Here we combined proteomic, ChIP-seq and transcriptome data to decipher the mechanism of transcriptional regulation mediated by the high mobility group AT-hook protein 2 (HMGA2). We showed that HMGA2-induced transcription requires H2AX phosphorylation at S139 (H2AXS139ph; Î³-H2AX), mediated by the kinase ataxia telangiectasia mutated (ATM). Furthermore, we demonstrated the relevance of this mechanism within the biological context of TGFB1-signaling. Our results link H2AXS139ph, a marker for DNA damage, to transcription, which is a new function for this histone modification. The interplay between HMGA2, ATM and H2AX is a novel mechanism of transcription initiation. Chip-seq data of HMGA2, H2AXS139ph and ATM obtained from Mouse embryonic Fibroblast cells in wt and Ko of Hmga2

Anti-high mobility group box-1 monoclonal antibody treatment provides protection against influenza A virus (H1N1)-induced pneumonia in mice.

Project description:Provision for the emergence of an influenza pandemic is an urgent issue. The discovery of a novel anti-influenza therapeutic approach would increase the effectiveness of traditional virus-based strategies. This study was undertaken to evaluate the therapeutic effects of anti-high mobility group box-1 (HMGB1) monoclonal antibody (mAb) treatment on influenza A virus (H1N1)-induced pneumonia in mice.Nine-week-old male C57BL/6 mice were inoculated with H1N1, then anti-HMGB1 mAb or control mAb were administered intravenously at 1, 24 and 48 hours after H1N1 inoculation and the survival rate was analyzed. Lung lavage and histopathological analysis were performed on days 3, 5, 7 and 10 after inoculation.Anti-HMGB1 mAb significantly improved the survival rate of H1N1-inoculated mice (1 out of 15 versus 8 out of 15 deaths in the anti-HMGB1 mAb-treated group versus the control mAb-treated group, p?<?0.01), although the treatment did not affect virus propagation in the lungs. The treatment also significantly attenuated histological changes and neutrophil infiltration in the lungs of H1N1-inoculated mice. This was associated with inhibition of HMGB1 and suppression of inflammatory cytokine/chemokine expression and oxidative stress enhancement, which were observed in H1N1-inoculated mice. The expression of receptor for advanced glycation end products and nuclear factor ?B was attenuated by the treatment.Anti-HMGB1 mAb may provide a novel and effective pharmacological strategy for severe influenza virus infection in humans by reducing the inflammatory responses induced by HMGB1.

Sample Preparation Strategies for Antibody-Free Quantitative Analysis of High Mobility Group Box 1 Protein.

Project description:Sickness behavior and fatigue are induced by cerebral mechanisms involving inflammatory cytokines. High mobility group box 1 (HMGB1) is an alarmin, and a potential key player in this process. Reliable quantification methods for total HMGB1 and its redox variants must be established in order to clearly understand how it functions. Current methods pose significant challenges due to interference from other plasma proteins and autoantibodies. We aimed to develop an antibody-free sample preparation method followed by liquid chromatography coupled with tandem mass spectrometry (LC-MS/MS) to measure HMGB1 in human plasma. Different methods were applied for the removal of interfering proteins and the enrichment of HMGB1 from spiked human plasma samples. A comparison of methods showed an overall low extraction recovery (<40%), probably due to the stickiness of HMGB1. Reversed-phase liquid chromatography separation of intact proteins in diluted plasma yielded the most promising results. The method produced an even higher degree of HMGB1 purification than that observed with immunoaffinity extraction. Detection sensitivity needs to be further improved for the measurement of HMGB1 in patient samples. Nevertheless, it has been demonstrated that a versatile and fully antibody-free sample preparation method is possible, which could be of great use in further investigations.

Characterization of an Entamoeba histolytica High-Mobility-Group Box Protein Induced during Intestinal Infection

Project description:The unicellular eukaryote Entamoeba histolytica is a human parasite that causes amebic dysentery and liver abscess. A genome-wide analysis of gene expression modulated by intestinal colonization and invasion identified an up-regulated transcript that encoded a putative high-mobility-group box (HMGB) protein, EhHMGB1. We tested if EhHMGB1 encoded a functional HMGB protein, and determined its role in control of parasite gene expression. Recombinant EhHMGB1 was able to bend DNA in vitro, a characteristic of HMGB proteins. Core conserved residues required for DNA bending activity in other HMGB proteins were demonstrated by mutational analysis to be essential for EhHMGB1 activity. EhHMGB1 was also able to enhance the binding of human p53 to its cognate DNA sequence in vitro, which is expected for an HMGB1 protein. Confocal microscopy, using antibodies against the recombinant protein, confirmed its nuclear localization. Overexpression of EhHMGB1 in HM1: IMSS trophozoites led to modulation of 33 transcripts involved in a variety of cellular functions. Of these, twenty were also modulated at either day one or day 29 in the mouse model of intestinal amebiasis. Notably, four transcripts with known roles in virulence, including two encoding Gal/GalNAc lectin light chains, were modulated in response to EhHMGB1 overexpression. We concluded that EhHMGB1 was a bona fide HMGB protein with the capacity to recapitulate part of the modulation of parasite gene expression seen during adaptation to the host intestine. 6 samples for two groups: 3M and Gir. Each groups contain 3 samples

A network of high-mobility group box transcription factors programs innate interleukin-17 production.

Project description:How innate lymphoid cells (ILCs) in the thymus and gut become specialized effectors is unclear. The prototypic innate-like ?? T cells (T??17) are a major source of interleukin-17 (IL-17). We demonstrate that T??17 cells are programmed by a gene regulatory network consisting of a quartet of high-mobility group (HMG) box transcription factors, SOX4, SOX13, TCF1, and LEF1, and not by conventional TCR signaling. SOX4 and SOX13 directly regulated the two requisite T??17 cell-specific genes, Rorc and Blk, whereas TCF1 and LEF1 countered the SOX proteins and induced genes of alternate effector subsets. The T cell lineage specification factor TCF1 was also indispensable for the generation of IL-22 producing gut NKp46(+) ILCs and restrained cytokine production by lymphoid tissue inducer-like effectors. These results indicate that similar gene network architecture programs innate sources of IL-17, independent of anatomical origins.
