Bacterial extracellular metalloproteases ( BEMPs) are a large group of metal ion-contai-ning proteases. All BEMPs identified so far are endopeptidase or endoprotease. BEMPs can be classified into nine metalloprotease families based on the sequences and structures of enzymatic molecules. Double-valence zinc ion ( Zn2+) is necessarily required by catalytic centers of most BEMPs. The main function of BEMPs in non-pathogenic heterotrophic bacteria is to hydrolyze environmental proteins and polypeptides to provide vari-ous amino acids as nutrients. However, BEMPs of pathogenic bacteria, serving as important virulence fac-tors, help the pathogens invade into hosts and spread in hosts. In recent years, the roles and mechanism of BEMPs in bacterial pathogenesis have attracted great attention. Here, we make a brief review about the structures and types as well as the functions and pathogenic roles of BEMPs.

Objective: To investigate the effects of the exogenous testosterone propionate on apoptosis of rat germ cells and the mechanisms thereof. Methods: Thirty 35-day-old male SD rats were randomly divided into experimental group and the control group. The rats in experimental group were injected (i.m.) testosterone propionate and the control group with an equal volume of saline. By using terminal deoxynueleotidy transferase nediated dUTP nick-end labeling (TUNEL), flow cytometry (FCM), radioimmunoassay (RIA) and electron microscopy, the quantity and quality of apoptosis of germ cells were evaluated. Results:(1) Compared with the control, the apoptotic number of rat germ cells was increased in the experimental group, especially the primary spermatocyte. The apoptotie rate was 11.3% detected by FCM in experimental group,while 3.6% in the control group (P < 0.01). (2) The percentages of 1C were 21.8% in experimental group and 33.8% in control group (P < 0.01).The percentages of 2C were 52.6% in experimental group and 37.1% in control group (P < 0.01). (3) The serum levels of testosterone were (3 486.8±333.3) ng/L in experimental group and (846.9±167.5) ng/L in control group (P < 0.01). The serum levels of follicle-stimulating hormone (FSH) were (2.5±0.8) IU/L in experimental group and (5.2±1.7) IU/L in control group (P <0.01). Conclusion: The exogenous testosterone propionate might induce apoptosis of germ cells by retroinhibition of the hypothalamie-pituitary-gonadal axis, thus having contraceptive effects.

Objective To investigate the genotypes of extended spectrum β-lactamases (ESBLs) and their carrying modes in Escherichia coli (E.coli) isolates,and to analyze the mechanism of protein phosphorylation and ESBLs gene expression induced by β-lactam antibiotics or inhibited by histidine kinase inhibitors.Methods The predominant genotypes of ESBLs (KPC,TEM,SHV and CTX-M) and their carrying modes were identified by PCR and sequencing analysis.E-test and micro-tube dilution method were applied to measure minimal inhibitory concentrations (MICs) and minimum bactericidal concentrations (MBCs).Immobilized metal ion affinity chromatography,bacterial protein phosphorylation detection kit and real-time fluorescent quantitation RT-PCR were performed to analyze the enhancing effects of 1/4 MIC penicillin or cefotaxime or the inhibitory effects of histidine kinase inhibitors (closantel,bromized or iodized methylimidazol) on protein phosphorylation and the expression of ESBLs at mRNA level in E.coli isolates.Results In 183 β-lactam antibiotics-resistant E.coli isolates,TEM and CTX-M genes (83.1% and 77.1%) were highly expressed than other two ESBLs genes with a prevalent carrying mode of coexisting (65.0%) (P<0.05).Penicillin or cefotaxime at 1/4 MIC induced the protein phosphorylation and promoted the expression of TEM,SHV and CTX-M at mRNA level (P<0.05).Closantel (200 μmol),bromized methylimidazol (2 or 10 μmol) or iodized methylimidazol (20 or 50 μmol) could neither kill E.coli isolates nor inhibit their growth,but could inhibit the protein phosphorylation induced by above mentioned antibiotics and enhance the expression of ESBLs at mRNA level (P<0.05).Moreover,the susceptibility of antibioticresistant E.coli strains to penicillin and cefotaxime were increased (P<0.05).Conclusion TEM and CTX-M were the predominant genotypes of ESBLs carried by β-lactam antibiotics-resistant E.coli strains isolated from Zhejiang province,which were mostly found in a TEM plus CTX-M carrying mode.Sublethal dose of β-lactam antibiotics could up-regulate the expression of ESBLs genes in E.coli isolates via TCSS,but it could be inhibited by histidine kinase inhibitors.

Objective To investigate the role of pathogenic Leptospira interrogans lipopolysaccha-ride (L-LPS) and outer membrane proteins (L-OMP) in the apoptosis of mouse macrophages (J774A.1) and their association with Fas/FasL pathway .Methods Phenol-water extraction and Triton X-114 phase separation were used to extract L-LPS and L-OMP from L.interrogans serogroup icterohaemorrhagiae serovar Lai strain Lai, respectively.Polymyxin B ( PMB) and protease K ( PK) were used to treat L-LPS and L-OMP, respectively.J774A.1 cells were stimulated by L.interrogans strain Lai with or without ultraviolet inactivation.In parallel, the cells were stimulated by extracted L-LPS and L-OMP with or without PMB and PK treatments .The apoptosis and necrosis of J 774 A.1 cells before and after treatment were detected by flow cytometry.The siRNAs were used to silence the expression of Fas or FasL gene in J 774A.1 cells and their inhibitory effects were further validated by using real-time fluorescent quantitative RT-PCR.Flow cytometry was used to detect the effects of L-LPS or L-OMP on the apoptosis of J774A.1 cells with Fas or FasL gene-knockdown .Results L.interrogans strain Lai with or without ultraviolet inactivation could cause similar early apoptosis rates (47.1%and 55.6%) and late apoptosis/necrosis rates (7.6%and 7.9%).The ear-ly apoptosis rates of 1×105 J774A.1 cells were 40.4%and 34.0%after the treatment with 100 ng of L-LPS and 100 μg of L-OMP for 4 h.The late apoptosis/necrosis rates of the cells were 7.5%and 6.9%upon the treatments with L-LPS and L-OMP, respectively.However, the apoptosis or necrosis of the cells was not ob-served when using L-LPS and L-OMP pre-treated by PMB and PK, respectively.Silenced expression of Fas or FasL gene reduced the L-LPS-induced J774A.1 cells apoptosis (P<0.05), while decreased early apopto-sis rate of J774A.1 cells mediated by L-OMP was only observed in Fas gene-knockdown cells (P<0.05). Conclusion Both L-LPS and L-OMP can cause the Fas/FasL-associated apoptosis of macrophages , which is beneficial for L.interrogans to establish the productive infection in hosts .
