Nasal cavity carcinogenesis by N-nitrosamines: a critical appraisal

This review is a critical appraisal of our current knowledge on nasal cavity carcinogenesis by nitrosamines. The pathology and pathogenesis of nitrosamine-induced tumors in the nasal cavity of rodents is summarized while controversies on the underlying molecular mechanisms are discussed in more detail. Investigations on the distribution of metabolically competent cell types, the cellular site(s) of nitrosamine metabolism, as well as reports on the cellular distribution and persistence of DNA-adducts strongly suggest that DNA-adducts formed from reactive metabolites are not immediately responsible for the genesis of nasal cavity tumors. A preexisting high proliferative ability has also been suggested as a factor rendering certain cell types more susceptible to the carcinogenic actions of nitrosamines in the nasal cavity. However, this hypothesis has been clearly rejected by more recent investigations. Recent studies have shown that nitrosamines can stimulate the secretion of growth factors via interaction with neurotransmitter receptors in the lungs and that this molecular mechanism is an important factor in determining the histological phenotype of the developing lung tumors. In light of the fact that secretory cells are the main sites of DNA-adduct accumulation and toxic lesions in the nasal cavities of nitrosamine treated rodents, it is suggested that similar mechanisms may mediate the genesis of nitrosamine-induced nasal cavity tumors.

过表达NtMYB4a基因增强烟草抗旱能力

为探究转录因子NtMYB4a参与调控烟草(Nicotiana tabacum)抵抗干旱胁迫的能力,以NtMYB4a过表达株系(OE)、敲除株系(KO)和野生型(WT)为材料,通过盆栽实验模拟自然干旱胁迫,对比分析三个株系在干旱胁迫0、2、4、6、8 d和复水2 d后的光合特征、根系活力、叶绿素、脯氨酸(Pro)和丙二醛(MDA)含量以及抗氧化酶活性等指标。结果表明,OE株系的净光合速率(Pn)、根系活力、叶绿素含量、Pro含量以及SOD、POD和CAT活性均显著高于WT株系,而蒸腾速率(Tr)、气孔导度(Gs)、MDA含量则显著低于WT株系;KO株系多数时期Pn、根系活力、叶绿素含量、Pro含量及SOD、POD和CAT活性显著低于WT株系,Tr、Gs、MDA含量则显著高于WT株系。因此,超表达NtMYB4a可能通过提高烟草的光合能力、根系活力和抗氧化酶活性,减少细胞膜损伤来提高烟苗抗旱性。

Osmoprotective effect of ubiquinone in lipid vesicles modelling the E. coli plasma membrane

Bacteria need to be able to adapt to sudden changes in their environment, including drastic changes in the surrounding osmolarity. As part of this adaptation, the cells adjust the composition of their cytoplasmic membrane. Recent studies have shown that ubiquinones, lipid soluble molecules involved in cell respiration, are overproduced by bacteria grown in hyperosmotic conditions and it is thus believed that these molecules can provide with osmoprotection. Hereby we explore the mechanisms behind these observations. Liposomes with a lipid headgroup composition mimicking that of the cytoplasmic membrane of E. coli are used as suitable models. The effect of ubiquinone-10 (Q10) on water transport across the membranes is characterized using a custom developed fluorescence-based experimental approach to simultaneously determine the membrane permeability coefficient and estimate the elastic resistance of the membrane towards deformation. It is shown that both parameters are affected by the presence of ubiquinone-10. Solanesol, a molecule similar to Q10 but lacking the quinone headgroup, also provides with osmoprotection although it only improves the resistance of the membrane against deformation. The fluorescence experiments are complemented by cryogenic transmission electron microscopy studies showing that the E. coli membrane mimics tend to flatten into spheroid oblate structures when osmotically stressed, suggesting the possibility of lipid segregation. In agreement with its proposed osmoprotective role, the flattening process is hindered by the presence of Q10.     

<Emphasis Type="Italic">Heteroepichloë</Emphasis>, gen. nov. (Clavicipitaceae; Ascomycotina) on bamboo plants in East Asia

The causal agents of witches' broom of bamboo plants in East Asia, Epichloë bambusae and E. sasae, were morphologically and phylogenetically examined. The phylogenetic studies were conducted using ITS 1, 2, and 5.8 S rDNA regions. Both Epichloë species produce Ephelis-type conidia in artificial medium and are phylogenetically situated in different clades from Epichloë and Parepichloë. Here, we propose a new genus Heteroepichloë for these two bambsicolous Epichloë species.

2,4‑Di‑tert‑butylphenol,a potential HDAC6 inhibitor,induces senescence and mitotic catastrophe in human gastric adenocarcinoma AGS cells

The natural product 2,4?di?tert?butylphenol (DTBP) has a wide spectrum of biological functions, including anticancer activities, although the underlying mechanisms are poorly understood. Here, we found that DTBP induces senescence in human gastric adenocarcinoma AGS cells as evidenced by upregulation of p21 and Rb and increased β?galactosidase activity. DTBP also induces mitotic catastrophe and generates multinucleated cells, which is accompanied by an increase in the proportion of polymerized tubulin, possibly caused by inhibition of HDAC6 enzyme activity. In silico docking analysis showed that DTBP docked at the entrance of the ligand-binding pocket of the HDAC6 enzyme. Accordingly, DTBP represents a promising lead structure for the development of HDAC6 inhibitors, with an improvement in specificity conferred by modification of the cap group. We propose for the first time that the underlying mechanism of the anticancer activity of DTBP is attributed to inhibition of HDAC6 activity.
