Acute hyperglycemia exacerbates myocardial ischemia/reperfusion injury and blunts cardioprotective effect of GIK

There is a close association between hyperglycemia and increased risk of mortality after acute myocardial infarction (AMI). However, whether acute hyperglycemia exacerbates myocardial ischemia/reperfusion (MI/R) injury remains unclear. We observed the effects of acute hyperglycemia on MI/R injury and on the cardioprotective effect of glucose-insulin-potassium (GIK). Male rats were subjected to 30 min of myocardial ischemia and 6 h of reperfusion. Rats were randomly received one of the following treatments (at 4 ml.kg(-1).h(-1) iv): Vehicle, GIK (GIK during reperfusion; glucose: 200g/l, insulin: 60 U/l, KCL: 60 mmol/l), HG (high glucose during ischemia; glucose:500 g/l), GIK + HG (HG during I and GIK during R) or GIK + wortmannin (GIK during R and wortmannin 15 min before R). Blood glucose, plasma insulin concentration and left ventricular pressure (LVP) were monitored throughout the experiments. Hyperglycemia during ischemia not only significantly increased myocardial apoptosis (23.6 +/- 1.7% vs. 18.8 +/- 1.4%, P < 0.05 vs. vehicle), increased infarct size (IS) (45.6 +/- 3.0% vs. 37.6 +/- 2.0%, P < 0.05 vs. vehicle), decreased Akt and GSK-3beta phosphorylations (0.5 +/- 0.2 and 0.6 +/- 0.1% fold of vehicle, respectively, P < 0.05 vs. vehicle) following MI/R, but almost completely blocked the cardioprotective effect afforded by GIK, as evidenced by significantly increased apoptotic index (19.1 +/- 2.0 vs. 10.3 +/- 1.2%, P < 0.01 vs. GIK), increased myocardial IS (39.2 +/- 2.8 vs. 27.2 +/- 2.1%, P < 0.01 vs. GIK), decreased Akt phosphorylation (1.1 +/- 0.1 vs. 1.7 +/- 0.2%, P < 0.01 vs. GIK) and GSK-3beta phosphorylation (1.4 +/- 0.2 vs. 2.3 +/- 0.2%, P < 0.05 vs. GIK). Hyperglycemia significantly exacerbates MI/R injury and blocks the cardioprotective effect afforded by GIK, which is, at least in part, due to hyperglycemia-induced decrease of myocardial Akt activation.

Genome-wide association study for flowering time,maturity dates and plant height in early maturing soybean (Glycine max) germplasm

Background

Soybean (Glycine max) is a photoperiod-sensitive and self-pollinated species. Days to flowering (DTF) and maturity (DTM), duration of flowering-to-maturity (DFTM) and plant height (PH) are crucial for soybean adaptability and yield. To dissect the genetic architecture of these agronomically important traits, a population consisting of 309 early maturity soybean germplasm accessions was genotyped with the Illumina Infinium SoySNP50K BeadChip and phenotyped in multiple environments. A genome-wide association study (GWAS) was conducted using a mixed linear model that involves both relative kinship and population structure.

Results

The linkage disequilibrium (LD) decayed slowly in soybean, and a substantial difference in LD pattern was observed between euchromatic and heterochromatic regions. A total of 27, 6, 18 and 27 loci for DTF, DTM, DFTM and PH were detected via GWAS, respectively. The Dt1 gene was identified in the locus strongly associated with both DTM and PH. Ten candidate genes homologous to Arabidopsis flowering genes were identified near the peak single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) associated with DTF. Four of them encode MADS-domain containing proteins. Additionally, a pectin lyase-like gene was also identified in a major-effect locus for PH where LD decayed rapidly.

Conclusions

This study identified multiple new loci and refined chromosomal regions of known loci associated with DTF, DTM, DFTM and/or PH in soybean. It demonstrates that GWAS is powerful in dissecting complex traits and identifying candidate genes although LD decayed slowly in soybean. The loci and trait-associated SNPs identified in this study can be used for soybean genetic improvement, especially the major-effect loci associated with PH could be used to improve soybean yield potential. The candidate genes may serve as promising targets for studies of molecular mechanisms underlying the related traits in soybean.

N-alkylated cyclen cobalt(III) complexes of 1-(chloromethyl)-3-(5,6,7-trimethoxyindol-2-ylcarbonyl)-2,3-dihydro-1H-pyrrolo[3,2-f]quinolin-5-ol DNA alkylating agent as hypoxia-activated prodrugs

A series of cobalt complexes of the potent DNA minor groove alkylator 1-(chloromethyl)-3-(5,6,7-trimethoxyindol-2-ylcarbonyl)-2,3-dihydro-1H-pyrrolo[3,2-f]quinolin-5-ol (seco-6-azaCBI-TMI) were prepared from a series of N-substituted cyclen ligands. The final N-substituted complexes carried formal overall charges ranging from +2 to -2 and showed limited improvements in solubility. They showed similar stabilities to that of the complex with the unsubstituted cyclen ligand, and large but variable attenuation of the cytotoxicity of the free alkylator (2-30-fold), compared to 150-fold for the unsubstituted ligand. However, they had oxic/hypoxic ratios (2-22-fold) comparable to that of the unsubstituted cyclen complex (5).

沙利度胺通过诱导G1阻滞和凋亡抑制血管内皮细胞增殖

沙利度胺是一种抗血管生成药物,临床上用于治疗多种肿瘤,但其抗肿瘤血管生成机制尚不十分清楚. 本文采用MTT法观察沙利度胺对体外培养的血管内皮细胞增殖的影响. 结果发现,沙利度胺能够抑制血管内皮细胞的增殖,其IC50为16.47 μg/mL;然后采用Hoechst染色和流式细胞仪检测细胞凋亡和细胞周期,发现沙利度胺能够诱导内皮细胞凋亡,并干扰细胞的周期,出现G0/G1期阻滞. 最后,通过Western印迹方法分析沙利度胺对血管内皮细胞Bcl-2蛋白表达的影响,发现抗凋亡的Bcl-2蛋白表达水平随沙利度胺浓度增大而降低. 初步结果提示,沙利度胺可能通过阻遏抗凋亡分子Bcl-2表达,激活诱导G1期阻滞的信号通路而抑制内皮细胞新生,从而抑制肿瘤生长. 诱导内皮细胞凋亡及G1期阻滞的具体分子机制正在研究中.
