Bacopa monniera is a traditional Ayurvedic herbal medicine used to treat various mental ailments from ancient times. Recently, chemically standardized alcoholic extract of Bacopa monniera (BM) has been developed and currently available as over the counter herbal remedy for memory enhancement in children and adults. However, the consumption of herbal drugs has been reported to alter the expression of drug metabolizing enzymes and membrane transporters. Present study in male Sprague-Dawley rat was performed to evaluate the effect of memory enhancing standardized extract of BM on hepatic and intestinal cytochrome P450 3A and P-glycoprotein expression and activity. The BM (31 mg/kg/day) was orally administered for one week in BM pre-treated group while the control group received the same amount of vehicle for the same time period. The BM treatment decreased the cytochrome P450 3A (CYP3A) mediated testosterone 6β-hydroxylation activity of the liver and intestine by 2 and 1.5 fold, respectively compared to vehicle treated control. Similarly pretreatment with BM extract decreased the expression of intestinal P-glycoprotein (Pgp) as confirmed by Western blot analysis but did not alter the expression of hepatic Pgp. To investigate whether this BM pretreatment mediated decrease in activity of CYP3A and Pgp would account for the alteration of respective substrate or not, pharmacokinetic study with carbamazepine and digoxin was performed in BM pre-treated rats and vehicle treated rats. Carbamazepine and digoxin were used as CYP3A and Pgp probe drugs, respectively. Significant increase in AUC and Cmax of carbamazepine (4 and 1.8 fold) and digoxin (1.3 and 1.2 fold), respectively following the BM pre-treatment confirmed the down regulation of CYP3A and Pgp. 相似文献

Using polyclonal antibodies raised against a previously cloned potato Mg2+-dependent soluble inorganic pyrophosphatase (ppa1 gene) [8], a second gene, called ppa2, could be isolated. A single locus homologous to ppa2 was mapped on potato chromosomes, unlinked to the two loci identified for ppa1. From a phylogenetic and structural point of view, the PPA1 and PPA2 polypeptides are more closely related to prokaryotic than to eukaryotic Mg2+-dependent soluble inorganic pyrophosphatases (soluble PPases). Subcellular localization by immunogold electron microscopy, using sections from leaf parenchyma cells, showed that PPA1 and PPA2 are localized to the cytosol. Based on these observations, the likely phylogenetic origin and the physiological significance of the cytosolic soluble pyrophosphatases are discussed. 相似文献

Although cell elongation is a basic function of plant morphogenesis, many of the molecular events involved in this process
are still unknown. In this work an extremely dwarf mutant, originally named bul, was used to study one of the main processes of plant development, cell elongation. Genetic analyses revealed that the BUL locus was linked to the nga172 marker on chromosome 3. Recently, after mapping the new dwf7 mutation of Arabidopsis, which is allelic to ste1, it was reported that dwf7 is also linked to the same marker. Sterol analyses of the bul1-1 mutant indicated that bul1-1 is defective in the Δ7-sterol-C5-desaturation step leading to brassinosteroid biosynthesis. Considering these findings, we designated our bul mutant as bul1-1/dwf7-3/ste1-4. The bul1-1 mutant was characterized by a very dwarf phenotype, with delayed development and reduced fertility. The mutant leaves had
a dark-green colour, which was probably due to continuous stomatal closure. The bul1-1 mutant showed a partially de-etiolated phenotype in the dark. Cellular characterization and rescue experiments with brassinosteroids
demonstrated the involvement of the BUL1-1 protein in brassinosteroid-dependent plant growth processes.

To characterize the spatial and temporal occurrence of programmed cell death (PCD) in Lilium anther tissues, we used both microscopical and molecular markers of apoptosis for developmental stages from meiosis to pollen release. The first hallmarks of PCD include cell condensation and shrinkage of the cytoplasm, separation of chromatin into delineated masses, and DNA fragmentation in the tapetum as early as the premeiosis stage. PCD then extended to other anther sporophytic tissues, leading to anther dehiscence. Although the PCD clearly affected the endothecium and the epidermis, these two cell layers remained alive until anther dehiscence. In pollen, no sign of PCD was found until pollen mitosis I, after what apoptotic features developed progressively in the vegetative cell. In addition, DNA ladders were detected in all sporophytic tissues and cell types throughout pollen development, whereas in the male gametophyte DNA ladders were only detected during pollen maturation. Our data suggest that PCD is a progressive and active process affecting all the anther tissues, first being triggered in the tapetum. 相似文献

Chimeric -glucuronidase (GUS) gene expression in an efficientAgrobacterium-mediated transformation system utilising mesophyll cells ofPetunia hybrida synchronized with cell cycle phase-specific inhibitors (mimosine and colchicine) was used to show the absolute requirement of S-phase for transfer and/or integration of the transferred DNA (T-DNA). Flow-cytometric analysis of nuclear DNA content and immunohistological detection of bromodeoxyuridine (BrdUrd) incorporation showed that, prior to phytohormone treatment, most (98%) mesophyll cells were at GO-Gl-phase (quiescent phase) and no cell division was occurring. After 48 h and 72 h of phytohormone treatment, there was a rapid increase in S-G2-M-phase populations (> 75%) and a concomitant decrease (down to 24%) in G0–-G1-phase cells. Assays of GUS showed that maximum transformation (> 95% of explants) also occurred after this period. Our data showed that mimosine and colchicine blocked the mesophyll cells at late Gl-phase and M-phase, respectively. No transformation (= GUS expression) was observed in phytohormone-treated cells inhibited in late G1 by mimosine. However, after removal of mimosine, 82% of the explants were transformed, indicating the non-toxic and reversible effect of the inhibitor. On the other hand, a relatively high transformation frequency (65% of explants) was observed after blocking the cell cycle at M-phase with colchicine. However, only transient, but no stable, gene expression (= kanamycin-resistant callus formation) was observed in colchicine-treated M-phase-arrested cells. Similarly, endoreduplication of nuclear DNA, which occurred during the 48 h of phytohormone treatment in some mesophyll cells and cells located along the minor veins in the leaf explants, resulted in transient GUS expression only. These observations indicate a direct correlation between endoreduplication and transient GUS gene expression. Obviously, for stable GUS gene expression, cell division and proliferation are required, indicating that both DNA duplication (S-phase) and cell division (M-phase) are strongly related to stable transformation. We propose that the present system should facilitate further dissection of the process of T-DNA integration in the host genome and therefore should aid in developing new strategies for transformation of recalcitrant plants.Abbreviations BAP

Role of vitronectin-like protein in Agrobacterium attachment and transformation of Arabidopsis cells

The role of plant vitronectin-like protein (Vn) in Agrobacterium-host plant interactions and receptor-specific bacterial attachment is unclear and still open to debate. Using a well-established Agrobacterium-mediated Arabidopsis transformation system, the marker gene beta-glucuronidase (GUS) of Escherichia coli, and biochemical and cytological methods, such as ELISA tests, immunoblots, immunolocalization, and functional in vitro binding assays, we have reassessed the role of Vn in receptor-specific bacterial attachment and transformation. We provide evidence that Vn is present in the host plant cells and anti-human vitronectin antibody cross-reacts with a 65-kDa protein from Arabidopsis cells. The specificity of the immunological cross-reactivity of anti-vitronectin antibodies was further demonstrated by ELISA competition experiments. Immunogold labeling showed that Vn is localized in the plant cell wall, and its level increased considerably after phytohormone treatment of the petiole explants. However, Agrobacterium attachment was unaffected, and no inhibition of petiole cell transformation was detected in the presence of human vitronectin and anti-vitronectin antibodies in the media. Additionally, no correlation between the occurrence of Vn, attachment of bacteria to the cells, and susceptibility to Agrobacterium-mediated transformation was observed. Taken together, our data do not support a functional role of plant Vn as the receptor for site-specific Agrobacterium attachment leading to the transformation of Arabidopsis cells. 相似文献
