The chemical study of the Antarctic octocoral Dasystenella acanthina has led to the isolation of the new polyoxygenated steroids (24R,22E)-24-hydroxycholest-4,22-dien-3-one (1), 23-acetoxy-24,25-epoxycholest-4-en-3-one (2), 12beta-acetoxycholest-4-en-3,24-dione (3), 12beta-acetoxy-24,25-epoxycholest-4-en-3-one (4), (22E)-25-hydroxy-24-norcholest-4,22-dien-3-one (5), 3alpha-acetoxy-25-hydroxycholest-4-en-6-one (6), and 3alpha,11alpha-diacetoxy-25-hydroxycholest-4-en-6-one (7), whose structures have been established by spectroscopic analysis. The absolute stereochemistry at C-24 in compound 1 has been determined through the 1H NMR study of the corresponding (R)- and (S)-MPA esters. All the new compounds showed significant activities as growth inhibitors of several human tumor cell lines. In addition, cytostatic and cytotoxic effects were also observed on selected tumor cell lines. 相似文献

This report describes the isolation, primary structure determination, and functional characterization of two similar toxins from the scorpion Parabuthus granulatus named kurtoxin-like I and II (KLI and KLII, respectively). KLII from P. granulatus is identical to kurtoxin from Parabuthus transvaalicus (a 63 amino-acid long toxin) whereas KLI is a new peptide containing 62 amino acid residues closely packed by four disulfide bridges with a molecular mass of 7244. Functional assays showed that both toxins, KLI and kurtoxin from P. granulatus, potently inhibit native voltage-gated T-type Ca(2+) channel activity in mouse male germ cells. In addition, KLI was shown to significantly affect the gating mechanisms of recombinant Na(+) channels and weakly block alpha(1)3.3Ca(V) channels expressed in Xenopus oocytes. KLI and kurtoxin from P. granulatus represent new probes to study the role of ion channels in germ cells, as well as in cardiac and neural tissue. 相似文献

BackgroundLeishmaniasis is a complex disease in which clinical outcome depends on factors such as parasite species, host genetics and immunity and vector species. In Brazil, Leishmania (Viannia) braziliensis is a major etiological agent of cutaneous (CL) and mucosal leishmaniasis (MCL), a disfiguring form of the disease, which occurs in ~10% of L. braziliensis-infected patients. Thus, clinical isolates from patients with CL and MCL may be a relevant source of information to uncover parasite factors contributing to pathogenesis. In this study, we investigated two pairs of L. (V.) braziliensis isolates from mucosal (LbrM) and cutaneous (LbrC) sites of the same patient to identify factors distinguishing parasites that migrate from those that remain at the primary site of infection.Conclusions/SignificanceDespite sharing high similarity at the genome structure and ploidy levels, the parasites exhibited divergent expressed genomes. The proteome and metabolome results indicated differential profiles between the cutaneous and mucosal isolates, primarily related to inflammation and chemotaxis. BALB/c infection revealed that the cutaneous isolates were more virulent than the mucosal parasites. Furthermore, our data suggest that the LbrPGF2S protein is a candidate to contribute to parasite virulence profiles in the mammalian host. 相似文献

Tauroprimnoa austasensis gen. nov., sp. nov. and Digitogorgia kuekenthali gen. nov., sp. nov. are described and illustrated from Southern Ocean waters. The most distinctive characters of the newly
proposed genera are, in Tauroprimnoa, the existence of four marginal scales, two abaxials with a strong thorn, and the presence of a single abaxial longitudinal
row of body scales. In the case of Digitogorgia, the colony branching pattern, the structure of the opercular scales, and the presence of a complete cycle of accessory opercular
scales are the distinct features to distinguish it from previously known genera. Tauroprimnoa austasensis sp. nov. is reported from the Eastern Weddell Sea, Antarctica, while Digitogorgia kuekenthali sp. nov. has been found in the SubAntarctic waters off Burdwood Bank and, in the south east of Isla Nueva in Chilean Patagonia. 相似文献

Tumor-derived immunosuppressive factors contribute to the evasion of malignant cells from the immune response, partially by hampering dendritic cell (DC) differentiation. Here, we analyze whether soluble mediators released by the most frequent histological types of non-small cell lung carcinoma, squamous cell carcinoma (SCC), and adenocarcinoma (AD) cells, affect the development and functionality of DC. Monocytes from healthy donors were differentiated in vitro into DC with granulocyte–macrophage colony-stimulating factor (GM-CSF) and interleukin (IL)-4, in the absence or presence of soluble factors (SF) from SCC or AD cell lines. Monocytes were differentiated in parallel into macrophages (MΦ s) with macrophage colony-stimulating factor (M-CSF). SF-treated DC were phenotypically and functionally more similar to MΦ s than to untreated DC [control DC (Ctrl-DC)]. Both tumors increased myelomonocytic markers (CD14, CD16, CD32, and CD163) and impaired CD1a expression on DC. SF-treated DC increased their endocytic capacity, and released higher levels of IL-6, IL-10, and lower levels of IL-12, compared to Ctrl-DC. SF-treated DC were poor stimulators in mixed lymphocyte reactions, and naïve CD4+ T lymphocytes stimulated by SF-treated DC secreted lower levels of interferon (IFN)-γ and higher amounts of IL-10 than controls. In contrast to AD, the effects caused by SCC were mostly abolished by IL-6 neutralization during monocyte differentiation. However, tumor-derived prostanoid blockade recovered the IFN-γ levels secreted by lymphocytes stimulated with SF-treated DC, whereas prostanoid/IL-6 or prostanoid/IL-10 blockade decreased IL-10 production only by SCC-DC-stimulated lymphocytes. Thus, we provide evidence that lung SCC and AD cause comparable deficiencies on DC in vitro, skewing monocyte differentiation from DC to MΦ -like cells, but most of these changes occurred via different mediators. 相似文献

Mutations affecting the Arabidopsis SWC6 gene encoding a putativeorthologue of a component of the SWR1 chromatin remodellingcomplex in plants have been characterized. swc6 mutations causeearly flowering, shortened inflorescence internodes, and alteredleaf and flower development. These phenotypic defects resemblethose of the photoperiod independent early flowering 1 (pie1)and early in short days 1 (esd1) mutants, also affected in homologuesof the SWR1 complex subunits. SWC6 is a ubiquitously expressednuclear HIT-Zn finger-containing protein, with the highest levelsfound in pollen. Double mutant analyses suggest that swc6 abolishesthe FLC-mediated late-flowering phenotype of plants carryingactive alleles of FRI and of mutants of the autonomous pathway.It was found that SWC6 is required for the expression of theFLC repressor to levels that inhibit flowering. However, theeffect of swc6 in an flc null background and the down-regulationof other FLC-like/MAF genes in swc6 mutants suggest that floweringinhibition mediated by SWC6 occurs through both FLC- and FLC-likegene-dependent pathways. Both genetic and physical interactionsbetween SWC6 and ESD1 have been demonstrated, suggesting thatboth proteins act in the same complex. Using chromatin immunoprecipitation,it has been determined that SWC6, as previously shown for ESD1,is required for both histone H3 acetylation and H3K4 trimethylationof the FLC chromatin. Altogether, these results suggest thatSWC6 and ESD1 are part of an Arabidopsis SWR1 chromatin remodellingcomplex involved in the regulation of diverse aspects of plantdevelopment, including floral repression through the activationof FLC and FLC-like genes.

A new species of sea anemone in the genus Hormathia, is described and illustrated based on forty-two specimens collected during the Polarstern cruises ANT XV/3 and ANT XVII/3 in the Weddell Sea. The main features of the new taxon are the crown of flattened and hooked
tubercles at the distal end of the scapus, the regular arrangement of pointed tubercles along the column and the cnidom. The
new species shares the pointed tubercles, at least in the upper part of the scapus, with two other species of Hormathia in the southern hemisphere: Hormathia spinosa Hertwig 1882 and H. pectinata Hertwig 1882

Mesogligorgia scotiae gen. nov., sp. nov. is described and illustrated from a colony collected in the Scotia Sea, 2,201–2,213 m in depth, on the
ANDEEP-I cruise. The new taxon is placed in the family Plexauridae because of: 1) the presence of a horny axis with a cross-chambered
central core and numerous loculi, 2) retractile polyps in calyces with distinct spicular components, and 3) armed polyps with
large sclerites with a poorly- developed collaret and eight well-developed points. The irregularly distributed sclerites running
along the axis, into a thick mesogloeal coenenchyme, and the elongated spindles with irregular ends are the most distinctive
characters of the newly proposed genus. 相似文献
