Multiple microRNAs play crucial roles in the modulation of NP cell apoptosis and microRNA-145 matrix degradation. miR-145 is an important microRNA related to degenerative diseases such as osteoarthritis. Apoptosis Here, the effect of miR-145 in IDD was elucidated. -

Endopeptidase-24.11 in Pig Lymph Nodes Purification and Immunocytochemical Localization in Reticular Cells
Biochem. J. (1986) 236, 801-810 (Printed in Great Britain) 801 Endopeptidase-24.11 in pig lymph nodes Purification and immunocytochemical localization in reticular cells Michael A. BOWES and A. John KENNY M.R.C. Membrane Peptidase Research Group, Department of Biochemistry, University of Leeds, Leeds LS2 9JT, U.K. Endopeptidase-24.11 (EC 3.4.24.11), a widely distributed cell-surface endopeptidase in pig tissues, was purified by immunoaffinity chromatography from its second most abundant source, lymph nodes. The detergent-solubilized enzyme is a glycoprotein with an apparent subunit Mr of 91 000, by electrophoresis in the presence of SDS. This value is intermediate between those observed in preparations from kidney and intestine. The specific activity (1251-labelled insulin B-chain as substrate) was similar to that prepared from other sources. Immuno-peroxidase and immunofluorescent cytochemical methods with either a monoclonal antibody, GK7C2, or an affinity-purified polyclonal antiserum, RP109, were used to establish the distribution and localization of the antigen in lymph nodes. Examination of many nodes confirmed the variability of endopeptidase-24.11 content from node to node. Pig lymph nodes are composed of functionally discrete nodelets and are anatomically inverted, with medulla being located peripheral to the cortex. Endopeptidase- 24.11 was present in medulla, paracortex and cortex. The medulla, containing relatively few lymphocytes, stained more intensely than other zones. Lymphocyte-rich areas stained only weakly, but antigen was detectable in the centres of follicles and more strongly in a band surrounding them. The pattern of staining was reticular in appearance in all zones. In primary cell cultures, set up after enzymic disruption of nodes, the immuno-positive cells were found to be adherent to glass or plastic and to exhibit a fibroblastic morphology. -

Self-digested Pronase is prepared by dissolving powdered Pronase in 10mM Tris•Cl (pH 7.5), 10mM NaCl to a final concentration of 20mg/mL and incubating for 1 hour at 37°C. Store the self-digested Pronase in small aliquots at –20°C in tightly capped tubes. 3 Proteinase K is a highly active protease of the subtilisin type that is purified from the mould Tritirachium album Limber. The enzyme has two binding sites for Ca2+, which lie some distance from the active site and are not directly involved in the catalytic mechanism. However, when Ca2+ is removed from the enzyme, approxi- mately 80% of the catalytic activity is lost because of long-range structural changes (Bajorath et al. Nature 1989; 337:481-484). Because the residual activity is usually sufficient to degrade proteins that commonly contaminate preparations of nucleic acids, digestion with Proteinase K is usually carried out in the presence of EDTA (to inhibit the action of Mg2+-dependent nucleases). However, to digest highly resistant proteins such as keratin, it may be necessary to use a buffer con- taining 1mM Ca2+ and no EDTA. -
