Synaptosomal-associated protein 25 (SNAP25) is an essential component for synaptic vesicle mediated release of neurotransmitters.
Deficiencies or abnormal structure or function of SNAP25 protein, possibly arising through genetic variations in the relevant
DNA code, has been suggested to play role in the pathology of several neurobehavioural disorders including Attention deficit
Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD) and a number of polymorphisms in the SNAP25 gene has been studied for association with the disorder.
In the present investigation, for the first time association between ADHD and six SNAP25 polymorphisms, rs1889189, rs362569, rs362988, rs3746544, rs1051312, and rs8636 was explored in eastern Indian population.
Subjects were recruited following the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual for Mental Disorders-IV. Genomic DNA isolated from
peripheral blood leukocytes of ADHD probands (n = 150), their parents (n = 272) and ethnically matched controls (n = 100)
was used for amplifying target sites. Data obtained were subjected to population- as well as family-based analyses. While
case–control analysis revealed lack of any significant difference for alleles, family-based studies revealed a mild over transmission
rs3746544 ‘T’ and rs8636 ‘C’ alleles (P = 0.05 and 0.03 respectively). Haplotypes formed between rs362569 “T”, 362988 “G”, rs3746544 “T”, rs1051312 “T” and rs8636
“C” in different combinations showed statistically significant transmission to ADHD probands. Excepting rs3746544 and rs8636,
all the tested sites showed very low linkage disequilibrium between them. Data obtained in this preliminary study indicates
that rs3746544 ‘T’ allele may have some role in the disease etiology in the studied Indian population. 相似文献

Overexpression of the mature form of hyaluronan-binding protein 1 (HABP1/gC1qR/p32), a ubiquitous multifunctional protein involved in cellular signaling, in normal murine fibroblast cells leads to enhanced generation of reactive oxygen species (ROS), mitochondrial dysfunction, and ultimately apoptosis with the release of cytochrome c. In the present study, human liver cancer cell line HepG2, having high intracellular antioxidant levels was chosen for stable overexpression of HABP1. The stable transformant of HepG2, overexpressing HABP1 does not lead to ROS generation, cellular stress, and apoptosis, rather it induced enhanced cell growth and proliferation over longer periods. Phenotypic changes in the stable transformant were associated with the increased "HA pool," formation of the "HA cable" structure, up-regulation of HA synthase-2, and CD44, a receptor for HA. Enhanced cell survival was further supported by activation of MAP kinase and AKT-mediated cell survival pathways, which leads to an increase in CYCLIN D1 promoter activity. Compared with its parent counterpart HepG2, the stable transformant showed enhanced tumorigenicity as evident by its sustained growth in low serum conditions, formation of the HA cable structure, increased anchorage-independent growth, and cell-cell adhesion. This study suggests that overexpression of HABP1 in HepG2 cells leads to enhanced cell survival and tumorigenicity by activating HA-mediated cell survival pathways. 相似文献

Photosynthesis and water efflux were measured in different PAR and stomatal conductance in members of Avicenniaceae and Rhizophoraceae.
Trend of leaf temperature with irradiance and its effect on photosynthesis were also estimated. In most of the studied species,
photosynthesis and stomatal conductance followed similar trends with increase in irradiance. The rate of net photosynthesis
and stomatal conductance were higher in members of Avicenniaceae than in Rhizophoraceae. In Avicenniaceae, the optimum PAR
for maximum photosynthesis ranged between 1340–1685 (μmol m-2s-1, which was also higher than that of Rhizophoraceae (840-1557 μmol m-2s-1). Almost in all the studied taxa, transpiration and stomatal conductance followed similar trends and reached the maximal
peaks at the same PAR value. The range of breakeven leaf temperature was almost the same in both the families (34-36°C in
Avicenniaceae and 33.5-36.3°C in Rhizophoraceae), beyond which assimilation rate declined. 相似文献

Objective
We inspected the relevance of CD44, ABCB1 and ADAM17 in OSCC stemness and deciphered the role of autophagy/mitophagy in regulating stemness and chemoresistance.Material and methods
A retrospective analysis of CD44, ABCB1 and ADAM17 with respect to the various clinico‐pathological factors and their correlation was analysed in sixty OSCC samples. Furthermore, the stemness and chemoresistance were studied in resistant oral cancer cells using sphere formation assay, flow cytometry and florescence microscopy. The role of autophagy/mitophagy was investigated by transient transfection of siATG14, GFP‐LC3, tF‐LC3, mKeima‐Red‐Mito7 and Western blot analysis of autophagic and mitochondrial proteins.Results
In OSCC, high CD44, ABCB1 and ADAM17 expressions were correlated with higher tumour grades and poor differentiation and show significant correlation in their co‐expression. In vitro and OSCC tissue double labelling confirmed that CD44+ cells co‐expresses ABCB1 and ADAM17. Further, cisplatin (CDDP)‐resistant FaDu cells displayed stem‐like features and higher CD44, ABCB1 and ADAM17 expression. Higher autophagic flux and mitophagy were observed in resistant FaDu cells as compared to parental cells, and inhibition of autophagy led to the decrease in stemness, restoration of mitochondrial proteins and reduced expression of CD44, ABCB1 and ADAM17.Conclusion
The CD44+/ABCB1+/ADAM17+ expression in OSCC is associated with stemness and chemoresistance. Further, this study highlights the involvement of mitophagy in chemoresistance and autophagic regulation of stemness in OSCC. 相似文献15.

Background
Transesterification of Jatropha oil was carried out in t-butanol solvent using immobilized lipase from Enterobacter aerogenes. The presence of t-butanol significantly reduced the negative effects caused by both methanol and glycerol. The effects of various reaction parameters on transesterification of Jatropha oil were studied. 相似文献17.
Photosynthesis and antioxidative enzyme activities in five Indian mangroves with respect to their adaptability 总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1
Five typical mangroves were taken (Bruguiera gymnorrhiza, Excoecaria agallocha, Heritiera fomes, Phoenix paludosa and Xylocarpus granatum) both from Sundarbans (in situ) and grown in a mesophytic environment (ex situ, in the Institute’s premises) for 12–15 years.
A comparative account of PAR utilization for maximum photosynthesis, stomatal conductance and production of two antioxidant
enzymes (peroxidase and Superoxide dismutase) were done between the in situ and ex situ habitats. The present work revealed
that the average net photosynthesis was slightly higher in mangroves from non-saline habitats than that of the native ones.
At the same time, stomatal conductances were remarkably reduced under salinity-stressed habitats when compared with those
of the mesophytic counterparts, by 25–52%. Salinity imposed increase of antioxidant enzymes was observed. Both the investigated
antioxidant enzymes showed considerable increase in saline-grown individuals and proved their efficient scavenging ability
to evolve reactive oxygen species (ROS), but these increases were relatively lower in Heritiera and Xylocarpus even though the net photosynthesis was higher. This might be related to their lower adaptability under increased salinity
stress than those of the other three species investigated. 相似文献

This study was designed to examine the chemical compositions of scent volatiles and antioxidant activities of Polianthes tuberosa L. flower extract in six different solvents. The main constituents of the volatile components were benzyl benzoate, methyl 2-amino benzoate, methyl isoeugenol, isoeugenol, benzyl salicylate, methyl salicylate, geraniol and 1,8-cineole. Total phenolic content of floral extracts in water, methanol, ethanol, ethyl acetate, hexane and dichloromethane were found to be 0.094, 0.18, 0.14, 0.007, 0.004 and 0.110 mg gallic acid equivalent/mg fresh weight, respectively. The methanol soluble fraction showed highest values of antioxidant activity through DPPH and ABTS assays. Methanol extract effectively inhibits the non site-specific DNA strand breakage caused by Fenton’s reagents. Dichloromethane and aqueous fractions also exhibited high antioxidant capacities. Aqueous extract showed highest value in FRAP assay. 相似文献

Multidrug resistance-associated protein 1 (MRP1) reduces intracellular anticancer drug accumulation either by co transporting
them with glutathione (GSH) or extruding drug-GSH conjugates outside of the cell. Thus, MRP1 confers multidrug resistance
(MDR) and worsen successful chemotherapeutic treatment against cancer. Although the exact mechanism of MRP1 involved in MDR
remains unknown, the elevated level of intracellular GSH is considered as a key factor responsible for MDR in cancer. Hence
the quest for non-toxic molecules that are able to deplete intracellular GSH has profound importance to subdue MDR. The present
preclinical study depicts the resistance reversal potentiality of an iron complex; viz. Ferrous N-(2-hydroxy acetophenone) glycinate (FeNG) developed by us in doxorubicin resistant Ehrlich ascites carcinoma (EAC/Dox) cells.
FeNG potentiate cytotoxic effect of doxorubicin on EAC/Dox cells ex vivo and also increases the survivability EAC/Dox bearing
Swiss albino mice in vivo as well. Moreover, in vivo administration of FeNG significantly depletes intracellular GSH with
ensuant increase in doxorubicin concentration in EAC/Dox cells without alternation of MRP1 expression. In addition, intra-peritoneal
(i.p.) application of FeNG in normal or EAC/Dox bearing mice does not cause any systemic toxicity in preliminary trials in
mouse Ehrlich ascites carcinoma model. Therefore, the present report provides evidence that FeNG may be a promising new resistance
modifying agent against drug resistant cancers. 相似文献

Focus on antivirally active sulfated polysaccharides: from structure-activity analysis to clinical evaluation 总被引:4,自引:0,他引:4
In recent years, many compounds having potent antiviral activityin cell culture have been detected and some of these compoundsare currently undergoing either preclinical or clinical evaluation.Among these antiviral substances, naturally occurring sulfatedpolysaccharides and those from synthetic origin are noteworthy.Recently, several controversies over the molecular structuresof sulfated polysaccharides, viral glycoproteins, and cell-surfacereceptors have been resolved, and many aspects of their antiviralactivity have been elucidated. It has become clear that theantiviral properties of sulfated polysaccharides are not onlya simple function of their charge density and chain length butalso their detailed structural features. The in vivo efficacyof these compounds mostly corresponds to their ability to inhibitthe attachment of the virion to the host cell surface althoughin some cases virucidal activity plays an additional role. Thisreview summarizes experimental evidence indicating that sulfatedpolysaccharides might become increasingly important in drugdevelopment for the prevention of sexually transmitted diseasesin the near future. 相似文献
