Over the past decades the role of nitric oxide (NO) and reactive oxygen species (ROS) in signaling and cellular responses to stress has witnessed an exponential trend line. Despite advances in the subject, our knowledge of the role of NO and ROS as regulators of stress and plant growth and their implication in signaling pathways is still partial. The crosstalk between NO and ROS during root formation offers new domains to be explored, as it regulates several plant functions. Previous findings indicate that plants utilize these signaling molecules for regulating physiological responses and development. Depending upon cellular concentration, NO either can stimulate or impede root system architecture (RSA) by modulating enzymes through post-translational modifications. Similarly, the ROS signaling molecule network, in association with other hormonal signaling pathways, control the RSA. The spatial regulation of ROS controls cell growth and ROS determine primary root and act in concert with NO to promote lateral root primordia. NO and ROS are two central messenger molecules which act differentially to upregulate or downregulate the expression of genes pertaining to auxin synthesis and to the configuration of root architecture. The investigation concerning the contribution of donors and inhibitors of NO and ROS can further aid in deciphering their role in root development. With this background, this review provides comprehensive details about the effect and function of NO and ROS in the development of RSA. 相似文献

Helicobacter pylori, like many other gut colonizing bacteria, binds to sialic acid rich macromolecules present on the gastric epithelium. NLBH (neuraminyl lactose binding haemagglutinin) a 32 kDa adhesin located on the surface of H. pylori has been shown to have specific affinity towards NeuAc2,3Gal1,4Gluc(3SL). This sialic acid moiety is over-expressed in an atrophic stomach undergoing parietal cell depletion. Antibodies against a lysine rich peptide fragment of NLBH inhibit agglutination of human erythrocytes. This lysine rich sequence from NLBH was proposed to be the receptor-binding site. In order to elucidate the binding of NLBH to gastric epithelium, a peptide (D-P-K-R-T-I-Q-K-K-S) was synthesized. A series of experiments were performed involving adherence inhibition assays, 2D-NMR, molecular modelling and measurement of modulation in acid secretion. Results indicated that the peptide fragment could be involved in receptor recognition, which is important for the binding of H. pylori to gastric epithelium. The binding is possibly through hydrogen bonding. Two lysines and a threonine residue seem to be within the hydrogen bonding distance of NeuAc2,3Gal1,4Gluc. Further, in vitro assays were performed to evaluate the role of the peptide on acid secretion by parietal cells isolated from human fundal biopsies. Interestingly, the peptide increases acid secretion only in H. pylori negative and in treated patients but not in H. pylori positive patients. This highlights the role of NLBH in acid secretion and could be of some consequence in the prognosis of the disease. 相似文献

We examined a hypothesis that reactive oxygen species (ROS) generated by organophosphate compound dichlorvos modulates Hsp70 expression and anti-oxidant defense enzymes and acts as a signaling molecule for apoptosis in the exposed organism. Dichlorvos (0.015–15.0 ppb) without or with inhibitors of Hsp70, superoxide dismutase (SOD) and catalase (CAT) were fed to the third instar larvae of Drosophila melanogaster transgenic for hsp70 (hsp70-lacZ) Bg9 to examine Hsp70 expression, oxidative stress and apoptotic markers. A concentration- and time-dependent significant increase in ROS generation accompanied by a significant upregulation of Hsp70 preceded changes in antioxidant defense enzyme activities and contents of glutathione, malondialdehyde and protein carbonyl in the treated organisms. An inhibitory effect on SOD and CAT activities significantly upregulated ROS generation and Hsp70 expression in the exposed organism while inhibition of Hsp70 significantly affected oxidative stress markers induced by the test chemical. A comparison made among ROS generation, Hsp70 expression and apoptotic markers showed that ROS generation is positively correlated with Hsp70 expression and apoptotic cell death end points indicating involvement of ROS in the overall adversity caused by the test chemical to the organism. The study suggests that (a) Hsp70 and anti-oxidant enzymes work together for cellular defense against xenobiotic hazard in D. melanogaster and (b) free radicals may modulate Hsp70 expression and apoptosis in the exposed organism. 相似文献

Bacopa monniera is an important source of metabolites with pharmaceutical value. It has been regarded as a valuable medicinal plant and its entire commercial requirement is met from wild natural population. Recently, metabolic engineering has emerged as an important solution for sustained supply of assured and quality raw material for the production of active principles. Present report describes efficient in vitro multiplication and transformation method for genetic manipulation of this species. MS medium supplemented with 2 mgl−1 BA and 0.2 mgl−1 IAA was found optimum for maximum shoot regeneration (98.33 %) from in vitro leaves with 2–3 longitudinal cuts. Agrobacterium tumefaciens-mediated transformation method was used for generating transgenic B. monniera plants. Putative transformants were confirmed by GUS assay and PCR based confirmation of hptII gene. DNA blot analysis showed single copy insertion of transgene cassette. An average of 87.5 % of the regenerated shoots were found PCR positive for hptII gene and GUS activity was detected in leaves of transgenic shoots at a frequency of 82.5 % The efficient multiple shoots regeneration system described herein may help in mass production of B. monniera plant. Also, the high frequency transformation protocol described here can be used for genetic engineering of B. monniera for enhancement of its pharmaceutically important metabolites. 相似文献

Synthesis and anti-inflammatory activity of novel diarylheptanoids [5-hydroxy-1-phenyl-7-(pyridin-3-yl)-heptan-3-ones and 1-phenyl-7-(pyridin-3-yl)hept-4-en-3-ones] as inhibitors of tumor necrosis factor-α (TNF-α) production is described in the present article. The key reactions involve the formation of a β-hydroxyketone by the reaction of substituted 4-phenyl butan-2-ones with pyridine-3-carboxaldehyde in presence of LDA and the subsequent dehydration of the same to obtain the α,β-unsaturated ketones. Compounds 4i, 5b, 5d, and 5g significantly inhibit lipopolysaccharide (LPS)-induced TNF-α production from human peripheral blood mononuclear cells in a dose-dependent manner. Of note, the in vitro TNF-α inhibition potential of 5b and 5d is comparable to that of curcumin (a naturally occurring diarylheptanoid). Most importantly, oral administration of 4i, 5b, 5d, and 5g (each at 100 mg/kg) but not curcumin (at 100 mg/kg) significantly inhibits LPS-induced TNF-α production in BALB/c mice. Collectively, our findings indicate that these compounds may have potential therapeutic implications for TNF-α-mediated auto-immune/inflammatory disorders. 相似文献

Existing drugs for visceral leishmaniasis (VL) are partially effective, toxic, having high cost and long term treatment. Their efficacies are also compromised due to suppression of immune function associated during the course of infection. Combination therapy including a potential and safe immunostimulant with lower doses of effective drug has proven as a significant approach which is more effective than immunotherapy or drug therapy alone. In the present study, we have used the combination of Pam3Cys (an in-built immunoadjuvant and TLR2 ligand) and miltefosine. Initially dose optimization of both the agents was carried out and after that, antileishmanial effect of their combination was evaluated. All experiments were done in BALB/c mouse model. The immunomodulatory role of Pam3Cys on the immune functions of the host receiving combination treatment was also determined using immunological and biochemical parameters viz. phagocytosis, Th1/Th2 cytokines and production of ROS, RNS and H(2)O(2). Combination group showed significant enhancement in parasitic inhibition as compared to groups receiving miltefosine and Pam3Cys separately. Enhanced production of Th1 cytokines as well as ROS, RNS and H(2)O(2) was witnessed during the study of immunological alterations. Remarkable increase in phagocytosis index was also observed. Thus, the risk of development of drug resistance against miltefosine can be resolved through using low doses of it and Pam3Cys (single-dose) in combination and also provide a promising alternative for cure of leishmaniasis, with a pronounced transformation of the host immune response. 相似文献
