Brassinosteroids (BRs) are essential for plant growth and development; however, whether and how they promote stomatal closure is not fully clear. In this study, we report that 24‐epibrassinolide (EBR), a bioactive BR, induces stomatal closure in Arabidopsis (Arabidopsis thaliana) by triggering a signal transduction pathway including ethylene synthesis, the activation of Gα protein, and hydrogen peroxide (H2O2) and nitric oxide (NO) production. EBR initiated a marked rise in ethylene, H2O2 and NO levels, necessary for stomatal closure in the wild type. These effects were abolished in mutant bri1‐301, and EBR failed to close the stomata of gpa1 mutants. Next, we found that both ethylene and Gα mediate the inductive effects of EBR on H2O2 and NO production. EBR‐triggered H2O2 and NO accumulation were canceled in the etr1 and gpa1 mutants, but were strengthened in the eto1‐1 mutant and the cGα line (constitutively overexpressing the G protein α‐subunit AtGPA1). Exogenously applied H2O2 or sodium nitroprusside (SNP) rescued the defects of etr1‐3 and gpa1 or etr1 and gpa1 mutants in EBR‐induced stomatal closure, whereas the stomata of eto1‐1/AtrbohF and cGα/AtrbohF or eto1‐1/nia1‐2 and cGα/nia1‐2 constructs had an analogous response to H2O2 or SNP as those of AtrbohF or Nia1‐2 mutants. Moreover, we provided evidence that Gα plays an important role in the responses of guard cells to ethylene. Gα activator CTX largely restored the lesion of the etr1‐3 mutant, but ethylene precursor ACC failed to rescue the defects of gpa1 mutants in EBR‐induced stomatal closure. Lastly, we demonstrated that Gα‐activated H2O2 production is required for NO synthesis. EBR failed to induce NO synthesis in mutant AtrbohF, but it led to H2O2 production in mutant Nia1‐2. Exogenously applied SNP rescued the defect of AtrbohF in EBR‐induced stomatal closure, but H2O2 did not reverse the lesion of EBR‐induced stomatal closure in Nia1‐2. Together, our results strongly suggest a signaling pathway in which EBR induces ethylene synthesis, thereby activating Gα, and then promotes AtrbohF‐dependent H2O2 production and subsequent Nia1‐catalyzed NO accumulation, and finally closes stomata. 相似文献

Homodimers of the truncated hepatitis E virus (HEV) capsid proteins, E2 and p239, were conformed to model the dominant antigenic determinants of HEV. Using E2 as an immunogen, two neutralizing monoclonal antibodies (mAbs), namely 8C11 and 8H3, were produced. We constructed a mouse-human chimeric antibody derived from 8C11 and its expression in Chinese hamster ovary (CHO) cells. cDNAs encoding variable regions of heavy and light chains were isolated from hybridoma cells and inserted into mammalian expression vectors containing cDNA of human gamma-1 and kappa constant regions, respectively. The vectors were then cotransfected into CHO cells, and a stable cell line was established. Results from indirect enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) and Western blot analysis showed that the chimeric antibody was assembled correctly to the native IgG molecule and could be secreted from the cells. Similar to the original mAb, the expressed chimeric antibody displayed HEV antigen-binding activity and an enhancement effect on 8H3 binding to HEV antigen. The chimeric antibody could specifically inhibit the binding of p239 to HepG2 cells and compete with HEV IgG in positive serum by antibody-competitive ELISA. The chimeric antibody is expected to be less immunogenic in human and more suitable for antibody therapy of hepatitis E. 相似文献

Absent in melanoma 2 (AIM2) is a critical component in natural immunity system and is closely related to cancer initiation and development. It has been shown that AIM2 inhibited colorectal cancer (CRC) development and cell proliferation. It remains unresolved how AIM2 acts on CRC metastasis. In this study, we assessed migration, invasion ability, and epithelial-mesenchymal transition (EMT) program upon AIM2 overexpression or knockdown in human CRC cells. Transwell assay demonstrated that upregulation of AIM2 reduced cell migration and invasion. Epithelial marker E-cadherin was augmented and mesenchymal markers vimentin, as well as Snail, were examined decreased by Western blot, real-time polymerase chain reaction, and immunofluorescence. Correspondingly, knockdown of AIM2 led to a reverse consequence. In addition, AIM2 regulated Akt phosphorylation and effects of AIM2 on cell invasion and EMT were recovered after administration of Akt inhibitor, suggesting that AIM2 suppressed EMT dependent on Akt pathway. In addition, caspase-1 inhibitor exposure indicated that AIM2 abrogated EMT through the inflammasome pathway as well. In summary, AIM2 suppressed EMT via Akt and inflammasome pathways in human CRC cells. 相似文献

Obesity and its associated metabolic syndrome are a leading cause of morbidity and mortality. Given the disease’s heavy burden on patients and the healthcare system, there has been increased interest in identifying pharmacological targets for the treatment and prevention of obesity. Towards this end, genome-wide association studies (GWAS) have identified hundreds of human genetic variants associated with obesity. The next challenge is to experimentally define which of these variants are causally linked to obesity, and could therefore become targets for the treatment or prevention of obesity. Here we employ high-throughput in vivo RNAi screening to test for causality 293 C. elegans orthologs of human obesity-candidate genes reported in GWAS. We RNAi screened these 293 genes in C. elegans subject to two different feeding regimens: (1) regular diet, and (2) high-fructose diet, which we developed and present here as an invertebrate model of diet-induced obesity (DIO). We report 14 genes that promote obesity and 3 genes that prevent DIO when silenced in C. elegans. Further, we show that knock-down of the 3 DIO genes not only prevents excessive fat accumulation in primary and ectopic fat depots but also improves the health and extends the lifespan of C. elegans overconsuming fructose. Importantly, the direction of the association between expression variants in these loci and obesity in mice and humans matches the phenotypic outcome of the loss-of-function of the C. elegans ortholog genes, supporting the notion that some of these genes would be causally linked to obesity across phylogeny. Therefore, in addition to defining causality for several genes so far merely correlated with obesity, this study demonstrates the value of model systems compatible with in vivo high-throughput genetic screening to causally link GWAS gene candidates to human diseases. 相似文献

Fluorescence imaging of nitric oxide (NO) in vitro and in vivo is essential to developing our understanding of the role of nitric oxide in biology and medicine. Current probes such as diaminofluorescein depend on reactions with oxidized NO products, but not with nitric oxide directly, and this limits their applicability. Here we report the formation of an imaging probe for nitric oxide by coordinating the highly fluorescent chemical 4-methoxy-2-(1H-naphtho[2,3-d]imidazol-2-yl)phenol (MNIP) with Cu(II). The coordination compound MNIP-Cu reacts rapidly and specifically with nitric oxide to generate a product with blue fluorescence that can be used in vitro and in vivo. In the present study MNIP-Cu was used to reveal nitric oxide produced by inducible nitric oxide synthase in lipopolysaccharide (LPS)-activated macrophages (Raw 264.7 cells) and by endothelial nitric oxide synthase in endothelial cells (HUVEC). MNIP-Cu was also used to evaluate the distribution of nitric oxide synthesis in a model of acute liver injury induced by LPS and d-galactosamine in mice. The results demonstrate that MNIP-Cu can act as a novel fluorescent probe for nitric oxide and has many potential applications in biomedical research. 相似文献

It has been known that GnRH, LH and their receptors exist in hippocampal neurons. However, whether FSH and its receptor also
exist in hippocampal neurons remained unknown yet. In situ hybridization, double-labeled immunofluorescence stain and double-labeled
immunohistochemistry stain in adjacent sections were used in our research to study the distribution, co-localization of FSH
and its receptor and co-localization of FSH and GnRH receptor in rat hippocampus. The result found that pyramidal neurons
from CA1 to CA4 region and granule neurons in dentate gyrus could express FSH and its receptor, majority of hippocampal neurons
co-expressed FSH and its receptor, FSH and GnRH receptor. These suggested that hippocampal neurons not only express FSH but
also act as FSH target cells. FSH may regulate the function of hippocampal neurons by ways of paracrine or autocrine. At the
same time, GnRH may regulate the function of FSH neuron in hippocampus through GnRH receptor. 相似文献
