Crystalline structures of cellulose (named as Cell 1), NaOH-treated cellulose (Cell 2), and subsequent CO2-treated cellulose (Cell 2-C) were analyzed by wide-angle X-ray diffraction and FTIR spectroscopy. Transformation from cellulose I to cellulose II was observed by X-ray diffraction for Cell 2 treated with 15-20 wt% NaOH. Subsequent treatment with CO2 also transformed the Cell 2-C treated with 5-10 wt% NaOH. Many of the FTIR bands including 2901, 1431, 1282, 1236, 1202, 1165, 1032, and 897 cm(-1) were shifted to higher wave number (by 2-13 cm(-1)). However, the bands at 3352, 1373, and 983 cm(-1) were shifted to lower wave number (by 3-95 cm(-1)). In contrast to the bands at 1337, 1114, and 1058 cm(-1), the absorbances measured at 1263, 993, 897, and 668 cm(-1) were increased. The FTIR spectra of hydrogen-bonded OH stretching vibrations at around 3352 cm(-1) were resolved into three bands for cellulose I and four bands for cellulose II, assuming that all the vibration modes follow Gaussian distribution. The bands of 1 (3518 cm(-1)), 2 (3349 cm(-1)), and 3 (3195 cm(-1)) were related to the sum of valence vibration of an H-bonded OH group and an intramolecular hydrogen bond of 2-OH ...O-6, intramolecular hydrogen bond of 3-OH...O-5 and the intermolecular hydrogen bond of 6-O...HO-3', respectively. Compared with the bands of cellulose I, a new band of 4 (3115 cm(-1)) related to intermolecular hydrogen bond of 2-OH...O-2' and/or intermolecular hydrogen bond of 6-OH...O-2' in cellulose II appeared. The crystallinity index (CI) was obtained by X-ray diffraction [CI(XD)] and FTIR spectroscopy [CI(IR)]. Including absorbance ratios such as A1431,1419/A897,894 and A1263/A1202,1200, the CI(IR) was evaluated by the absorbance ratios using all the characteristic absorbances of cellulose. The CI(XD) was calculated by the method of Jayme and Knolle. In addition, X-ray diffraction curves, with and without amorphous halo correction, were resolved into portions of cellulose I and cellulose II lattice. From the ratio of the peak area, that is, peak area of cellulose I (or cellulose II)/total peak area, CI(XD) were divided into CI(XD-CI) for cellulose I and CI(XD-CII) for cellulose II. The correlation between CI(XD-CI) (or CI(XD-CII)) and CI(IR) was evaluated, and the bands at 2901 (2802), 1373 (1376), 897 (894), 1263, 668 cm(-1) were good for the internal standard (or denominator) of CI(IR), which increased the correlation coefficient. Both fraction of the absorbances showing peak shift were assigned as the alternate components of CI(IR). The crystallite size was decreased to constant value for Cell 2 treated at >or= 15 wt% NaOH. The crystallite size of Cell 2-C (cellulose II) was smaller than that of Cell 2 (cellulose I) treated at 5-10 wt% NaOH. But the crystallite size of Cell 2-C (cellulose II) was larger than that of Cell 2 (cellulose II) treated at 15-20 wt% NaOH. 相似文献

TORC1 activity in all eukaryotes is dependent on amino acid availability. However, the mechanism through which TORC1 senses amino acids is still a mystery. In the current issues of Molecular Cell and Cell, Bonfils et?al. (2012) and Han et?al. (2012) implicate leucyl-tRNA synthetase in this evolving story. 相似文献

Cell autophagy and cell apoptosis are both observed in the process of hypoxia-induced ischemic cerebral infarction (ICI). Unc-51 like autophagy activating kinase 1 (Ulk1) and FUN14 Domain-containing Protein 1 (FUNDC1) are both involved in the regulation of cell autophagy. This study aimed to investigate the regulatory effects of Ulk1 and FUNDC1 on hypoxia-induced nerve cell autophagy and apoptosis. Cell viability was measured using cell counting kit-8 (CCK-8) assay. Cell apoptosis was detected using Annexin V-PE/7-ADD staining assay. qRT-PCR was used to quantify the mRNA levels of Ulk1 and FUNDC1 in PC-12 cells. Cell transfection was performed to up-regulate the expression of Ulk1. 3-Methyladenine (3-MA) was used as autophagy inhibitor and rapamycin was used as autophagy activator in our experiments. SP600125 was used as c-Jun N-terminal kinase (JNK) inhibitor. Western blotting was performed to analyze the expression levels of key factors that are related to cell autophagy, apoptosis and JNK pathway. We found that hypoxia simultaneously induced apoptosis and autophagy of PC-12 cells. The activation of Ulk1 and FUNDC1 were also found in PC-12 cells after hypoxia induction. Overexpression of Ulk1 promoted the activation of FUNDC1 and prevented PC-12 cells from hypoxia-induced apoptosis. Suppression of Ulk1 had opposite effects. Furthermore, we also found that JNK pathway participated in the effects of Ulk1 overexpression on PC-12 cell apoptosis reduction. To conclude, Ulk1/FUNDC1 played critical regulatory roles in hypoxia-induced nerve cell autophagy and apoptosis. Overexpression of Ulk1 prevented nerve cells from hypoxia-induced apoptosis by promoting cell autophagy. 相似文献

The phagostimulants from the cellular fraction of blood induce gorging of Aedes aegypti (L.), and this process is enhanced by some plasma components. This project examines the responses of the labral apical chemoreceptors to plasma components enhancing phagostimulation. From the electrophysiological responses of the labral apical chemoreceptors four cells were identified by the waveform of their action potentials. Three of the cells (Cell 2, Cell 3 and Cell 4) responded in a dose dependent manner to NaCl. The responses of Cell 2 and Cell 3 to NaCl concentrations from 1 to 500 mmol/l can be described by a logarithmic equation. The response of Cell 2 to 150 mmol/l NaCl is modulated when a buffer is added. The magnitude of the modulation of the response is determined by the nature of the buffer: NaHCO(3) inhibits while Na(2)HPO(4) enhances the response. High osmotic pressure inhibits the response of Cell 4, regardless of how it is achieved. Cell 4 responds with a high frequency to the presence of L-alanine, the C-terminal amino acid of albumin, but shows a reduced response to the same concentration of albumin. From these results it can be concluded that labral apical chemoreceptors of A. aegypti are capable of detecting the plasma components involved in blood recognition. 相似文献

NPM1突变基因表达抑制K562白血病细胞体外增殖和侵袭 总被引:1,自引:1,他引:1
核仁磷酸蛋白(nucleophosmin,NPM1)突变是近年发现的在急性髓系白血病中发挥重要作用的基因改变,为探讨NPM1突变对K562白血病细胞体外增殖和侵袭能力的影响,将载体pEGFPC1-NPM1-mA转染K562细胞系,构建稳定表达NPM1突变蛋白的白血病细胞株(K562-mA)。利用细胞生长曲线观察细胞体外增殖能力;流式细胞仪检测细胞周期进程改变;细胞粘附、Transwell实验分别用以观察细胞体外粘附、迁移及侵袭能力。结果发现,NPM1突变转染后K562细胞体外增殖能力明显减弱;同时G1期细胞比例明显增高,S期细胞比例显著减低。与未处理组和空载体转染组细胞相比,K562-mA细胞体外迁移能力有所增加,但细胞粘附及侵袭能力却明显减弱。提示NPM1突变基因的表达能够抑制白血病细胞体外增殖和侵袭能力,为进一步深入探讨NPM1突变在白血病发生发展中的调控机制奠定了良好的基础。 相似文献

In this issue of Cell Stem Cell, Fasano et al. (2007) investigate the role of Bmi-1 in neural stem cells in vitro and in vivo. They find a progressively increasing requirement for Bmi-1 function in stem cells during development that, surprisingly, seems to involve regulation of the cell-cycle inhibitor p21. 相似文献

Six cell lines were derived from pleural effusions of two lung cancer patients and established in vitro in our laboratory. Cell line AE1 was obtained from a small cell lung cancer (SCLC) before the patient had received any chemotherapy; the other lines (AE2 and AE3) were established from tumour recurrences in the same patient after therapy. Cell lines DG1 and DG2 were derived from specimens of an untreated non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC), while cell line DG3 originated from pleural effusions recurring in the same patient after therapy. The results of the present study show that: (a) the SCLC lines AE1, AE2 and AE3 are heterogeneous in their biological characteristics and in their chemosensitivity patterns. In particular lines AE2 and AE3 are less responsive to cis-Platinum (DDP) and Adriamycin (ADM) than line AE1, so that they may reflect resistant subpopulations existing within the original tumour, selected following therapy with these drugs. In contrast, however, line AE1 proved more resistant to Vepesid (VP16) than lines AE2 and AE3. (b) The three NSCLC lines are similar in various biological features as well as in their chemosensitivity to DDP and Vinblastine (VBL).Abbreviations NSCLC

The Roundabout (Robo) family of receptors and their extracellular ligands, the Slit protein family, play important roles in repulsive axon guidance. First identified in Drosophila, Robo receptors form an evolutionarily conserved sub-family of the immunoglobulin (Ig) superfamily that are characterized by the presence of five Ig repeats and three fibronectin-type III repeats in the extracellular domain, a transmembrane domain, and a cytoplasmic domain with several conserved motifs that play important roles in Robo-mediated signaling (Cell 92 (1998) 205; Cell 101 (2000) 703). Robo family members have now been identified in C. elegans, Xenopus, rat, mouse, and human (Cell 92 (1998) 205; Cell 92 (1998) 217; Cell 96 (1999) 807; Dev. Biol. 207 (1999) 62). Furthermore, multiple robo genes have been described in Drosophila, rat, mouse and humans, raising the possibility of potential redundancy and diversity in robo gene function. As a first step in elucidating the role of Robo receptors during vertebrate development, we identified and characterized two Robo family members from zebrafish. We named these zebrafish genes robo1 and robo3, reflecting their amino acid sequence similarity to other vertebrate robo genes. Both genes are dynamically expressed in the developing nervous system in distinct patterns. robo3 is expressed during the first day of development in the hindbrain and spinal cord and is later expressed in the tectum and retina. robo1 nervous system expression appears later in development and is more restricted. Moreover, both genes are expressed in non-neuronal tissues consistent with additional roles for these genes during development. 相似文献

Control of cell proliferation is essential to generate the defined form of a multi-cellular organism. While much is known about the regulators for cell cycle progression, relatively little is known about the state of growth arrest. Growth arrest (G0) is defined as a cell in a metabolically active but proliferation-quiescent state (reviewed in Baserga (1985) The Biology of Cell Reproduction), typically induced by serum starvation in vitro. Using subtractive hybridization, Schneider et al. (Cell 54 (1988) 787) identified six genes (Gas1 through Gas6) whose expressions are upregulated in serum-deprived NIH3T3 cells. Among the Gas genes, Gas1 is the only one that can cause growth arrest when expressed in cultured cell (Cell 70 (1995) 595; Int. J. Cancer 9 (1998) 569). Here, we describe for the first time the expression pattern of Gas1 during mouse embryogenesis. Our data reveal that Gas1 is expressed in many regions that the cells are actively proliferating and suggest that it may have other roles during development than negatively regulating cell proliferation. Furthermore, we have cloned the chick GAS1 gene and documented the similarity and divergence of Gas1 gene expression patterns between the two species. 相似文献

In this issue of Cell Stem Cell, the origin of multipotent hematopoietic cells present in the placenta has been assessed in Ncx1(-/-) embryos lacking a functional heart and circulation. Rhodes and colleagues (Rhodes et al., 2008) found lymphoid progenitors in the placenta, as well as in dorsal aorta and yolk sac and vitelline vessels, indicating that they arose in situ. 相似文献

Microtubule-binding sites of the CH domain of EB1 and its autoinhibition revealed by NMR 总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1

End-binding protein 1 (EB1) is one of the best studied plus-end tracking proteins. It is known that EB1 specifically binds the plus ends of microtubules (MTs) and promotes MT growth. EB1 activity is thought to be autoinhibited by an intramolecular interaction. Recent cryo-EM analyses showed that the CH domain of Mal3p (Schizosaccharomyces pombe EB1 homolog) binds to GMPCPP-MT (Sandblad, L. Cell 127 (2006) 1415-24), and strongly binds GTPγS-MT which is proposed to mimic MT plus ends better than GMPCPP-MT (Maurer S.P. et al. Cell 149 (2012) 371–82). Here, we report on the MT binding sites of the CH domain of EB1 as revealed by NMR using the transferred cross-saturation method. In this study, we used GMPCPP-MT and found that the MT binding sites are very similar to the binding site for GTPγS-MT as suggested by cryo-EM (Maurer S.P. et al. Cell 149 (2012) 371–82). Notably, the N-terminal tip of helix α6 of the CH domain did not make contact with GMPCPP-MT, in contrast to the cryo-EM study which showed that it is closely located to a putative switch region of β-tubulin in GTPγS-MT (Maurer S.P. et al. Cell 149 (2012) 371-82). Further, we found that the intramolecular interaction site of EB1 overlaps the MT binding sites, indicating that the MT binding sites are masked by interaction with the C-terminal domain. We propose a structural view of autoinhibition and its release mechanism through competition binding with binding partners such as adenomatous polyposis coli protein. 相似文献
