Phytoremediation has gained increased attention as a cost-effective method for the remediation of heavy metal-contaminated sites. Because some plants possess a range of potential mechanisms that may be involved in the detoxification of heavy metals, they manage to survive under metal stresses. High tolerance to heavy metal toxicity could rely either on reduced uptake or increased plant internal sequestration,which is manifested by an interaction between a genotype and its environment. The growing application of molecular genetic technologies has led to increased understanding of mechanisms of heavy metal tolerance/accumulation in plants and, subsequently, many transgenic plants with increased heavy metal resistance,as well as increased uptake of heavy metals, have been developed for the purpose of phytoremediation. In the present review, our major objective is to concisely evaluate the progress made so far in understanding the molecular/cellular mechanisms and genetic basis that control the uptake and detoxification of metals by plants. 相似文献

To investigate the inhibitory effect of the Bcl-XL small interfering RNA(siRNA)on BcI-XLgene expression in the human gastric cancer cell line MGC-803,green fluorescent protein(GFP)siRNAwas constructed and transfected into MGC-803 ceils,together with GFP expression vector pTrace SV40.GFP expression levels were observed using fluorescence microscopy.Bcl-XL siRNA and negative siRNAwere then constructed and stably transfected into MGC-803 cells.RT-PCR and immunofluorescence wereused to detect the expression of Bcl-XL.Spontaneous apoptosis was detected by acridine orange(AO)andflow cytometry.Results were as follows:(1)48 h after GFP expression vector and GFP siRNA co-transfection,the expression level of GFP in the GFP siRNA group was much lower than the negative siRNA group,according to fluorescence microscopy results.The mRNA and protein levels of Bcl-XL in Bcl-XL siRNAstable transfectants were reduced to almost background level compared with negative siRNA transfectantsor untreated cells.(2)Changes in nucleus morphology was observed by AO staining nucleic and flowcytometry analysis,which showed that stable Bcl-XL siRNA transfectants have an increased spontaneousapoptosis (21.17%+1.26% vs.1.19%+0.18% and 1.56%+0.15% respectively,P<0.05 vs.negative siRNAor untreated control),siRNA targeting GFP or Bcl-XL genes can specifically suppress GFP or BcI-XLexpression in MGC-803 cells,and Bcl-XL siRNA can increase spontaneous apoptosis.Bcl-XL siRNA maybe a beneficial agent against human gastric adenocarcinoma. 相似文献

We recently reported that zacopride is a selective inward rectifier potassium current (IK1 ) channel agonist, suppressing ventricular arrhythmias without affecting atrial arrhythmias. The present study aimed to investigate the unique pharmacological properties of zacopride. The whole-cell patch-clamp technique was used to study IK1 currents in rat atrial myocytes and Kir2.x currents in human embryonic kidney (HEK)-293 cells transfected with inward rectifier potassium channel (Kir)2.1, Kir2.2, Kir2.3, or mutated Kir2.1 (at phosphorylation site S425L). Western immunoblots were performed to estimate the relative protein expression levels of Kir2.x in rat atria and ventricles. Results showed that zacopride did not affect the IK1 and transmembrane potential of atrial myocytes. In HEK293 cells, zacopride increased Kir2.1 homomeric channels by 40.7%±9.7% at 50 mV, but did not affect Kir2.2 and Kir2.3 homomeric channels, and Kir2.1-Kir2.2, Kir2.1-Kir2.3 and Kir2.2-Kir2.3 heteromeric channels. Western immunoblots showed that similar levels of Kir2.3 protein were expressed in rat atria and ventricles, but atrial Kir2.1 protein level was only 25% of that measured in the ventricle. In addition, 5-hydroxytryptamine (5-HT) 3 receptor was undetectable, whereas 5-HT 4 receptor was weakly expressed in HEK293 cells. The Kir2.1-activating effect of zacopride in these cells was abolished by inhibition of protein kinase A (PKA), but not PKC or PKG. Furthermore, zacopride did not activate the mutant Kir2.1 channel in HEK293 cells but selectively activated the Kir2.1 homomeric channel via a PKA-dependent pathway, independent to that of the 5-HT receptor. 相似文献

Autophagy is a major cellular pathway used to degrade long-lived proteins or organelles that may be damaged due to increased reactive oxygen species(ROS) generated by cellular stress. Autophagy typically enhances cell survival, but it may also act to promote cell death under certain conditions. The mechanism underlying this paradox, however, remains unclear. We showed that Tetrahymena cells exerted increased membranebound vacuoles characteristic of autophagy followed by autophagic cell death(referred to as cell death with autophagy) after exposure to hydrogen peroxide. Inhibition of autophagy by chloroquine or 3-methyladenine significantly augmented autophagic cell death induced by hydrogen peroxide. Blockage of the mitochondrial electron transport chain or starvation triggered activation of autophagy followed by cell death by inducing the production of ROS due to the loss of mitochondrial membrane potential. This indicated a regulatory role of mitochondrial ROS in programming autophagy and autophagic cell death in Tetrahymena. Importantly, suppression of autophagy enhanced autophagic cell death in Tetrahymena in response to elevated ROS production from starvation, and this was reversed by antioxidants. Therefore, our results suggest that autophagy was activated upon oxidative stress to prevent the initiation of autophagic cell death in Tetrahymena until the accumulation of ROS passed the point of no return, leading to delayed cell death in Tetrahymena. 相似文献

在长江口中华绒螯蟹亲蟹生殖洄游期间, 通过研究中华绒螯蟹放流群体和自然群体繁殖力随壳宽的变化规律, 比较放流群体和自然群体繁殖力的差异, 从而评估人工增殖放流亲蟹的繁殖力。结果显示, 随着壳宽的增大, 中华绒螯蟹放流群体和自然群体的繁殖力都显著增加(P<0.05)。在相同壳宽范围内, 放流群体和自然群体的繁殖力之间没有显著差异(P>0.05)。回归分析显示, 放流群体繁殖力(F)与壳宽(CW)呈幂函数关系: F=3.979CW6.208(R2=0.822);自然群体F与CW呈幂函数关系: F=1.696CW6.636(R2=0.673)。协方差分析显示, 放流群体与自然群体F与CW的两条曲线在显著性为0.05时拟合较好。研究结果表明, 放流群体与自然群体的繁殖力与壳宽之间无显著性差异, 推断放流亲蟹能够适应长江口天然水域环境, 并与自然群体的繁殖力水平相当。 相似文献
