Overexpression of ERBB2 or ERBB3 is associated with cancer development and poor prognosis. In this study, we show that reactive oxygen species (ROS) induce both ERBB2 and ERBB3 expression in vitro and in vivo. We also identify that miR‐199a and miR‐125b target ERBB2 and/or ERBB3 in ovarian cancer cells, and demonstrate that ROS inhibit miR‐199a and miR‐125b expression through increasing the promoter methylation of the miR‐199a and miR‐125b genes by DNA methyltransferase 1. These findings reveal that ERBB2 and ERBB3 expression is regulated by ROS via miR‐199a and miR‐125b downregulation and DNA hypermethylation. 相似文献

Monocrotaline (MCT) is a hepatotoxic pyrrolizidine alkaloid that is derived from plants; exposure may occur by consumption of contaminated grains, herbal teas and medicines. MCT can cause liver damage. We investigated the antioxidant effects of selenium (Se) and vitamin E against the toxic effects of MCT. Female Wistar albino rats were divided into four groups: a control group, an MCT group, an MCT + Se group, and an MCT + vitamin E group. Liver tissues were harvested, fixed, processed to paraffin and sections were cut. Anti-von Willebrand factor (vWF) immunohistochemistry, terminal deoxynucleotidyl transferase dUTP nick end-labeling (TUNEL), and hematoxylin and eosin staining were performed. Serum and liver tissue glutathione (GSH), catalase (CAT), and glutathione peroxidase (GPx) levels were measured. Histopathological and TUNEL data showed significantly increased liver damage in the MCT group compared to controls. Histopathological and TUNEL staining indicated significant improvements in the MCT + vitamin E and MCT + Se groups compared to the MCT group. MCT significantly reduced the serum GSH level and GPx activity, and liver GPx activity. Biochemical data indicated a significant improvement in serum GSH level in the MCT + vitamin E group compared to the MCT group. We suggest that vitamin E and Se afford limited protection against MCT hepatotoxicity. 相似文献

The accuracy of genomic selection depends on the relatedness between the members of the
set in which marker effects are estimated based on evaluation data and the types for which
performance is predicted. Here, we investigate the impact of relatedness on the
performance of marker-assisted selection for fungal disease resistance in hybrid wheat. A
large and diverse mapping population of 1739 elite European winter wheat inbred lines and
hybrids was evaluated for powdery mildew, leaf rust and stripe rust resistance in
multi-location field trials and fingerprinted with 9 k and 90 k SNP arrays.
Comparison of the accuracies of prediction achieved with data sets from the two marker
arrays revealed a crucial role for a sufficiently high marker density in genome-wide
association mapping. Cross-validation studies using test sets with varying degrees of
relationship to the corresponding estimation sets revealed that close relatedness leads to
a substantial increase in the proportion of total genotypic variance explained by the
identified QTL and consequently to an overoptimistic judgment of the precision of
marker-assisted selection. 相似文献

Single-copy nuclear DNAs (scnDNAs) of eight species of arvicoline and six
species of murine rodents were compared using DNA-DNA hybridization. The
branching pattern derived from the DNA comparisons is congruent with the
fossil evidence and supported by comparative biochemical, chromosomal, and
morphological studies. The recently improved fossil record for these
lineages provides seven approximate divergence dates, which were used to
calibrate the DNA-hybridization data. The average rate of scnDNA divergence
was estimated as 2.5%/Myr. This is approximately 10 times the rate in the
hominoid primates. These results agree with previous reports of accelerated
DNA evolution in muroid rodents and extend the DNA-DNA hybridization data
set of Brownell.

The effective population size of Anopheles gambiae in Kenya: implications for population structure 总被引:4,自引:0,他引:4
We estimated current and long-term effective population size (Ne) of two
Anopheles gambiae (savanna cytotype) populations in Kenya. Temporal
variation at nine microsatellite loci in each population sampled 7 and 9
years apart and genetic diversity in each sample were analyzed to answer
the following questions. (1) Do bottlenecks occur in Kenyan populations of
A. gambiae? (2) How variable are different populations with respect to
their current and long-term Ne values? (3) What are the implications of
these results on population structure and history? The estimates of Ne of
Asembo and Jego were 6,359 and 4,258, respectively, and the lower 95%
limits were 2,455 and 1,669, respectively. Thus, despite the typical
observation of low density at the village level during the dry season,
large populations are maintained annually. Large current Ne is consistent
with previous studies showing low differentiation across the continent,
especially under Wright's isolation-by-distance model. Current Ne in Asembo
was 1.5-fold higher than in Jego, but this difference was not significant.
Long-term Ne in Asembo (22,667) was 2.9-fold higher than that in Jego
(7,855) based on the stepwise mutation model. The difference between
populations was significant at both time points regardless of whether
long-term Ne values were calculated based on the stepwise mutation model or
the infinite-alleles model. Heterozygosity in Jego declined significantly
between 1987 (59%) and 1996 (54%), whereas heterozygosity in Asembo was
stable (66%-65%). Despite the relatively high and significant
differentiation between Asembo and Jego (FST = 0.072-0.10, RST = 0.037-
0.038), all alleles in Jego were found in Asembo but not vice versa. All of
these findings suggest that lower Ne in Jego magnifies differentiation
between the two populations. The long-term Ne was biased downward, because
its calculation was based on an upper bound estimate of microsatellite
mutation rate. Ne values based on mtDNA and allozymes were an order of
magnitude higher. Long-term Ne therefore, is probably measured in hundreds
of thousands and hence does not support a recent expansion of this species
from a small population.

We critically compared Marcusenius specimens from the mouth of the Cunene River on the Namibia/Angola border, a harsh desert environment on the Atlantic Ocean coast virtually devoid of aerial insects with aquatic larvae which are an important food item, with Marcusenius multisquamatus Kramer & Wink, 2013 from the escarpment region of that same river, in a relatively rich and productive subtropical savannah environment. River mouth specimens were differentiated in morphology and electric organ discharges, as determined by ANOVA/MANOVA comparisons, principal component and discriminant analyses on morphological and electrophysiological characters, and genetics, including sequences of the mitochondrial cytochrome b gene, indicating reproductive isolation. Specimens from the river mouth differed from M. multisquamatus, their closest relatives, by having a shorter snout, a smaller eye diameter, and smaller nares separation. River mouth specimens were also differentiated from other, increasingly less-close relatives, such as M. altisambesi Kramer et al., 2007 from the Okavango River, Botswana, and from M. krameri Maake et al., 2014 from the Limpopo System, South Africa. We therefore designate the new species Marcusenius desertus sp. nov. for the Cunene River mouth population. 相似文献

We report here the structural determination of N-linked oligosaccharides
found on extracellular hemoglobins of the hydrothermal vent tube worm
Riftia pachyptila. Structures were elucidated by a combination of
electrospray ionization tandem mass spectrometry, matrix- assisted laser
desorption/ionization mass spectrometry, normal-phase high performance
liquid chromatography, and exoglycosidase digestion. The sugar chains were
found to consist mainly of high-mannose-type glycans with some structures
partially capped by one or two terminal glucose residues. The present study
represents the first report of the occurrence of glucose capping of
N-linked carbohydrates in a secreted glycoprotein of a metazoan.
Previously, glucose capping has only been described for a membrane-bound
surface glycoprotein from the unicellular parasite Leishmania mexicana
amazonensis.
