Nfkb Dna Synthesis

There are many ligands that made up the chemokine receptor CXCR3 for the successful mediation of gene transcription. These ligands include the following CXCL 11, CXCL 10, and CXCL 9. DNA purification (Mini prep) helps to determine the concentration of both GFP and NFkB DNA before being used to transfect both HeLa and HEK 293 cell. The purification of DNA also allows the extraction and purification of plasmid DNA. According to the data that was generated by the completion of the Mini Prep, GFP DNA tends to have a higher concentration of 27.544 µg compared to NFkB DNA that has 16.950 µg. GFP DNA is considered to have properly purified because it yields a high number of concentration at the end of this process. GFP DNA successfully transfected …show more content…
Figure 7 shows induced NFkB activation in HeLa cells by the stimulant TNF alpha present in a bar chart. TNF alpha uses receptor to make sure the NFkB activation works well in the cell. Several reporter systems have been used to study the expression and activation of NFkB. In reference to the bar chart to figure 7, Clone AH and Clone GR tends to have the highest value of TNF alpha by the completion of stimulation while Clone KS and Clone BM show the lower values of TNF alpha considering their bar charts that was displayed above. Clone KS has the lowest unstimulated value compared to clone GR that has the highest unstimulated value. Clone GR has the highest TNF alpha value compared to clone KS that exhibit the lowest TNF alpha value. Also, Figure 8 shows another bar chart of HeLa cell that was stimulated with TNF alpha induced NFkB activation. The differences between stimulated (20ng/ml of TNF alpha) and unstimulated HeLa cell as a result of the luciferase assay …show more content…
Clone AH tends to exhibit the highest value of both Unstimulated and stimulated Hela cells while clone CU has the lowest of both unstimulated and stimulated HeLa cell value. Figure 9 displays different stimulant in both HeLa and Hek293 cell TNF alpha induced NFkB activation. In this case, Hela cell and Hek293 cell both stimulated with different sets of stimulant and the bar chart shows the distinct different after undergoing the luciferase activity. The bar charts clearly explain which of the two cells was properly stimulated by comparing the cells that has the higher value while being with the same stimulant. According to the above bar chart, SAA tends to have the highest value when being stimulated with Hek293/CXCR3 cell while TNF alpha shows a bit high value that stimulated HeLa/CXCR3 cell. An important role of CXCR3 and its ligands in the in this NFkb Luciferase reporter activity assay is the migration of T lymphocytes stems from adhesion experiments under flow conditions which fasten chemokine receptor CXCR3 to mediate gene

    Putty was opened on lab computers on the first day of this lab. Next, the group used Putty to input potential restriction enzymes to see where they would cut the DNA, and how long each of these fragments was. The restriction enzymes observed through the program were AseI, BsrGI, ClaI, EcoRV, HindIII, HpaI, NcoI, and PvuII. The lab group then chose to use BsrGI for the experimental restriction enzyme since they believed it would make the mutant DNA linear since it would cut the plasmid once while leaving the wild-type DNA uncut and supercoiled. This would make the wild-type DNA travel faster through the agarose gel in gel electrophoresis.…

    Using infliximab to treat Crohn’s disease Introduction Crohn’s disease is a type of IBD that causes inflammation in any part gastrointestinal tract from the mouth to the anus. In response to this inflammation, the body’s immune system attacks the GI tract (Dessein, 2008). The progression of this chronic inflammatory disease is brought about by the action of several cellular processes and pro-inflammatory mediators (Poggioli, 2007). Because there is no single factor that can be targeted to stop the development of Crohn’s disease, there is no cure for it. However, certain drugs can be used to target specific mediators in order to treat the disease.…

    Results: Distinguishing the Interactions in the Fructose 1,6-Bisphosphate Binding Site of Human Liver Pyruvate Kinase that Contribute to Allostery The overall design of the experiment involved two ways in which protein activation could be altered, in this case, the activation of the human liver pyruvate kinase (hL-PYK). One of the methods used to alter activation was to use effector molecules other than fructose 1,6-bisphosphate (Fru-1,6-BP), which may have the ability to attach to the allosteric site of the hL-PYK, leading to an increase or decrease in protein activity. The second method was to enhance mutations on specific parts of the hL-PYK enzyme itself to see how it interacted with Fru-1,6-BP. Inducing mutations to areas located near the allosteric site of hL-PYK can alter the binding affinity…

    Epstein-Barr Virus is part of the herpesvirus family and was the first virus discovered to cause a human cancer. The virus has two stages of its life, the latent phase, which allows the virus to lie dormant within a cell and the host. The other stage is the lytic phase in which the virus reproduces and allows the virus to spread among cells. Haloperidol (HPD) aids in the initiation of the lytic cycle.…

    Figure 5. Rosiglitazone (highlighted in green) forms three salt bridges with neighboring atoms at the hydrophilic end of the LBD. Rosiglitazone binding to PPARγ causes a conformational change within the complex that causes the dissociation of the endogenous ligand and the recruitment of a nuclear receptor coactivator 2, NCoA-2. This similarly occurs in the other half of the complex: RXRα Receptor A type II nuclear receptor as well, RXR-α heterodimerizes with PPARγ. The ligand that activates RXR-α is the ligand 9-cis retinoic acid that results in dissociation of corepressor and recruitment of coactivator protein, also called NCoA (Vikas et.al 2008) .…

    Gene therapy is one of the most promising forefronts of medical science in light of the various genetic disorders that grip our society. The treatment of Tay-Sachs disease, one such genetic disorder with typically fatal outcomes, has benefitted greatly from advanced research into the mechanisms that allow lipids to accumulate on nerve cells and ultimately trigger programmed cell death. In a study conducted by Cachón-González et al., a viral vector containing a gene encoded for HEXB production was injected into the brain cells of mice that tested positive for Sandhoff disease, ultimately extending their lifespan from under 20 weeks to more than one year (Effective gene therapy in an authentic model of Tay-Sachs related diseases, 1). This holds great promise for producing therapies for Tay-Sachs disease, as Tay-Sachs and Sandhoff produce similar outcomes through the degradation of the nervous system due to a lack of HEXA enzymes, or in the case of Sandhoff, both HEXA and HEXB (March of Dimes, 2).…

    The acute inflammatory response can be stimulated by an infection, tissue necrosis, foreign bodies, or immune reactions. The stimulus is recognized by receptors on the surface phagocytes, dendritic cells, and epithelial cells. The two types of the receptors are the toll like receptors and the inflammasomes. The toll like receptors recognize bacterial and virus DNA and endotoxins and in response produce inflammatory mediators. The inflammasome recognizes microbial or dead cell products or components and elicits a cascade that activates caspase 1 leading to the activation of IL-1 beta and the inflammatory response.…
