Endothelial cells (ECs) released microvesicles (EMVs) could modulate the functions of target cells by transferring their microRNAs (miRs). We have reported that miR-125a-5p protected EC function. In this study, we determined whether EMVs provided beneficial effects on ECs by transferring miR-125a-5p. Human brain microvessel ECs were transfected with miR-125a-5p mimic or miR-125a-5p short hairpin RNA to obtain miR-125a-5p overexpressing ECs and miR-125a-5p knockdown ECs, and their derived EMVs. For the functional study, ECs or hypoxia/reoxygenation injured ECs were coincubated with various EMVs. The survival and angiogenic function of ECs were measured. Western blot and quantitative real time polymerase chain reaction (qRT-PCR) were used for measuring the levels of phosphoinositide 3-kinase (PI3K), phosphorylation-Akt (p-Akt)/Akt, p-endothelial nitric oxide synthase (p-eNOS), cleaved caspase-3, and miR-125a-5p. PI3K inhibitor was used for pathway analysis. EMVs promoted the proliferation, migration, and tube formation ability of ECs, and alleviated the apoptotic rate of ECs. These effects were associated by an increase in p-Akt/Akt and p-eNOS, and a decrease in cleaved caspase-3 could be abolished by LY294002. Overexpression or downregulation of miR-125a-5p in EMVs promoted or inhibited those effects of EMVs. EMVs could enhance the survival and angiogenic function of ECs via delivering miR-125a-5p to modulate the expression of PI3K/Akt/eNOS pathway and caspase-3. 相似文献

The invasive freshwater snail Tarebia granifera (Lamarck, 1822) was first reported in South Africa in 1999 and it has become widespread across the country, with some evidence to suggest that it reduces benthic macroinvertebrate biodiversity. The current study aimed to identify the primary abiotic drivers behind abundance patterns of T. granifera, by comparing the current abundance of the snail in three different regions, and at three depths, of the highly modified Nseleni River in KwaZulu-Natal, South Africa. Tarebia granifera was well established throughout the Nseleni River system, with an overall preference for shallow waters and seasonal temporal patterns of abundance. Although it is uncertain what the ecological impacts of the snail in this system are, its high abundances suggest that it should be controlled where possible and prevented from invading other systems in the region. 相似文献

The low survival and differentiation rates of stem cells after either transplantation or neural injury have been a major concern of stem cell-based therapy. Thus, further understanding long-term survival and differentiation of stem cells may uncover new targets for discovery and development of novel therapeutic approaches. We have previously described the impact of mitochondrial apoptosis-related events in modulating neural stem cell (NSC) fate. In addition, the endogenous bile acid, tauroursodeoxycholic acid (TUDCA) was shown to be neuroprotective in several animal models of neurodegenerative disorders by acting as an anti-apoptotic and anti-oxidant molecule at the mitochondrial level. Here, we hypothesize that TUDCA might also play a role on NSC fate decision. We found that TUDCA prevents mitochondrial apoptotic events typical of early-stage mouse NSC differentiation, preserves mitochondrial integrity and function, while enhancing self-renewal potential and accelerating cell cycle exit of NSCs. Interestingly, TUDCA prevention of mitochondrial alterations interfered with NSC differentiation potential by favoring neuronal rather than astroglial conversion. Finally, inhibition of mitochondrial reactive oxygen species (mtROS) scavenger and adenosine triphosphate (ATP) synthase revealed that the effect of TUDCA is dependent on mtROS and ATP regulation levels. Collectively, these data underline the importance of mitochondrial stress control of NSC fate decision and support a new role for TUDCA in this process. 相似文献

Theiler's virus persistently infects the white matter of the spinal cord in susceptible strains of mice. This infection is associated with inflammation and primary demyelination and is studied as a model of multiple sclerosis. The H-2D gene is the major gene controlling viral persistence. However, the SJL/J strain is more susceptible than predicted by its H-2(s) haplotype. An (SJL/J x B10. S)F1 x B10.S backcross was analyzed, and one quantitative trait locus (QTL) was located in the telomeric region of chromosome 10 close to the Ifng locus. Another one was tentatively mapped to the telomeric region of chromosome 18, close to the Mbp locus. We now report the study of 14 congenic lines that carry different segments of these two chromosomes. Although the presence of a QTL on chromosome 18 was not confirmed, two loci controlling viral persistence were identified on chromosome 10 and named Tmevp2 and Tmevp3. Furthermore, the Ifng gene was excluded from the regions containing Tmevp2 and Tmevp3. Analysis of the mode of inheritance of Tmevp2 and Tmevp3 identified an effect of sex, with males being more infected than females. 相似文献

Theiler's virus causes a persistent infection with demyelination that is studied as a model for multiple sclerosis. Inbred strains of mice differ in their susceptibility to viral persistence due to both H-2 and non-H-2 genes. A locus with a major effect on persistence has been mapped on chromosome 10, close to the Ifng locus, using a cross between susceptible SJL/J and resistant B10.S mice. We now confirm the existence of this locus using two lines of congenic mice bearing the B10.S Ifng locus on an SJL/J background, and we describe a deletion in the promoter of the Ifng gene of the SJL/J mouse. We studied the expression of IFN-gamma, IL-2, IL-10, and IL-12 in the brains of SJL/J mice, B10.S mice, and the two lines of congenic mice during the first 2 wk following inoculation. We found a greater expression of IFN-gamma and IL-2 mRNA in the brains of B10.S mice compared with those of SJL/J mice. Also, the ratio of IL-12 to IL-10 mRNA levels was higher in B10.S mice. However, the cytokine profiles were the same for the two lines of resistant congenic mice and for susceptible SJL/J mice. Therefore, the difference of Th1/Th2 balance between the B10.S and SJL/J mice is not due to the Ifng locus and does not account for the difference of susceptibility of these mice to persistent infection. 相似文献

Oxidative stress is one of the mechanisms of ageing‐associated vascular dysfunction. Angiotensin‐converting enzyme 2 (ACE2) and microRNA (miR)‐18a have shown to be down‐regulated in ageing cells. Our previous study has shown that ACE2‐primed endothelial progenitor cells (ACE2‐EPCs) have protective effects on endothelial cells (ECs), which might be due to their released exosomes (EXs). Here, we aimed to investigate whether ACE2‐EPC‐EXs could attenuate hypoxia/reoxygenation (H/R)‐induced injury in ageing ECs through their carried miR‐18a. Young and angiotensin II‐induced ageing ECs were subjected to H/R and co‐cultured with vehicle (medium), EPC‐EXs, ACE2‐EPCs‐EXs, ACE2‐EPCs‐EXs + DX600 or ACE2‐EPCs‐EXs with miR‐18a deficiency (ACE2‐EPCs‐EXsanti‐miR‐18a). Results showed (1) ageing ECs displayed increased senescence, apoptosis and ROS production, but decreased ACE2 and miR‐18a expressions and tube formation ability; (2) under H/R condition, ageing ECs showed higher rate of apoptosis, ROS overproduction and nitric oxide reduction, up‐regulation of Nox2, down‐regulation of ACE2, miR‐18a and eNOS, and compromised tube formation ability; (3) compared with EPC‐EXs, ACE2‐EPC‐EXs had better efficiencies on protecting ECs from H/R‐induced changes; (4) The protective effects were less seen in ACE2‐EPCs‐EXs + DX600 and ACE2‐EPCs‐EXsanti‐miR‐18a groups. These data suggest that ACE‐EPCs‐EXs have better protective effects on H/R injury in ageing ECs which could be through their carried miR‐18a and subsequently down‐regulating the Nox2/ROS pathway. 相似文献

Progress in the identification of suitable RORγ inverse agonists as clinical candidates has been hampered by the high lipophilicity that seems required for high potency on this nuclear receptor. In this context, we decided to focus on the replacement of the hydroxymethyl group found on known modulators to determine if more polarity could be tolerated in this position. SAR of the replacement of this moiety is presented in this article leading to the identification of sulfoximine derivatives as potent modulators with pharmacological activity in the in vivo mouse Imiquimod psoriasis model. 相似文献

Water hyacinth Eichhornia crassipes is considered the most damaging aquatic weed in the world. However, few studies have quantified the impact of this weed economically and ecologically, and even fewer studies have quantified the benefits of its control. This paper focuses on water loss saving as the benefit derived from biological control of this plant between 1990 and 2013 at New Year’s Dam, Alicedale, Eastern Cape, South Africa. Estimates of water loss due to evapotranspiration from water hyacinth vary significantly; therefore, the study used three different rates, high, medium and low. A conservative raw agriculture value of R 0.26 per m3 was used to calculate the benefits derived by the water saved. The present benefit and cost values were determined using 10% and 5% discount rates. The benefit/cost ratio at the low evapotranspiration rate was less than one, implying that biological control was not economically viable but, at the higher evapotranspiration rates, the return justified the costs of biological control. However, at the marginal value product of water, the inclusion of the costs of damage to infrastructure, or the adverse effects of water hyacinth on biodiversity, would justify the use of biological control, even at the low transpiration rate. 相似文献

We sequenced a 173-kb region of mouse chromosome 10, telomeric to the Ifng locus, and compared it with the human homologous sequence located on chromosome 12q15 using various sequence analysis programs. This region has a low density of genes: one gene was detected in the mouse and the human sequences and a second gene was detected only in the human sequence. The mouse gene and its human orthologue, which are expressed in the immune system at a low level, produce a noncoding mRNA. Nonexpressed sequences show a higher degree of conservation than exons in this genomic region. At least three of these conserved sequences are also conserved in a third mammalian species (sheep or cow). 相似文献
