We show that short-term exposure to doxycycline, as used in tetracycline-inducible gene expression models, protects cells from stress-induced death in cultures infected with Mycoplasma arginini. Coinciding with the expected maximum level of gene activity, antimicrobial effects of tetracyclines might be mistaken for antiapoptotic properties of the expressed gene product.
我们证明,在感染精氨酸支原体的培养物中,短期接触多西环素(如四环素诱导基因表达模型中所使用的那样)可保护细胞免受应激诱导的死亡。四环素的抗菌作用与预期的最大基因活性水平一致,可能会被误认为是表达基因产物的抗凋亡特性。
