Background
Hexamerins are hemocyanin-derived proteins that have lost the ability to bind copper ions and transport oxygen; instead, they became storage proteins. The current study aimed to broaden our knowledge on the hexamerin genes found in the honey bee genome by exploring their structural characteristics, expression profiles, evolution, and functions in the life cycle of workers, drones and queens. 相似文献32.

From the dichloromethane extract of aerial parts of Ferula vesceritensis (Apiaceae), 11 sesquiterpene derivatives were isolated. Among them five were compounds designated as 10-hydroxylancerodiol-6-anisate, 2,10-diacetyl-8-hydroxyferutriol-6-anisate, 10-hydroxylancerodiol-6-benzoate, vesceritenone and epoxy-vesceritenol. The six known compounds were identified as feselol, farnesiferol A, lapidol, 2-acetyl-jaeschkeanadiol-6-anisate, lasidiol-10-anisate and 10-oxo-jaesckeanadiol-6-anisate. All the structures were determined by extensive spectroscopic studies including 1D and 2D NMR experiments and mass spectroscopy analysis. Two of the compounds, the sesquiterpene coumarins farnesiferol A and feselol, bound to the model recombinant nucleotide-binding site of an MDR-like efflux pump from the enteropathogenic protozoan Cryptosporidium parvum. 相似文献

We investigated possible healing effects of melatonin (MEL) on biochemical and histological changes in the lungs of rat offspring caused by exposure to nicotine (NT) in utero. Pregnant rats were divided randomly into five groups. The SP group was treated with physiological saline. The EA group was treated with ethyl alcohol. The MEL group was treated with MEL. The NT group was treated with NT. The NT + MEL group was treated with NT and MEL. At the end of the study, the biochemistry and histopathology of lung tissue of the offspring were examined. Reduced alveolar development and increased numbers of alveolar macrophages and mast cells were observed in the NT group compared to the SP, EA and MEL groups. We also found increased malondialdehyde (MDA) levels and decreased total glutathione (GSH) levels in the NT group. Application of MEL ameliorated the histological and biochemical damage caused by NT. The number of alveoli was greater in the NT + MEL group than in the NT group. Also, the increased numbers of alveolar macrophages and mast cells resulting from exposure to NT were decreased following MEL treatment. We found that MEL caused a significant decrease in the level of MDA. Maternal exposure to NT caused significant structural and biochemical changes in the lungs of the offspring and administration of MEL ameliorated the changes. 相似文献

Histone modifications coordinate the chromatin localization of key regulatory factors in mitosis. For example, mitotic phosphorylation of Histone H3 threonine‐3 (H3T3ph) by Haspin creates a binding site for the chromosomal passenger complex (CPC). However, how these histone modifications are spatiotemporally controlled during the cell cycle is unclear. Here we show that Plk1 binds to Haspin in a Cdk1‐phosphorylation‐dependent manner. Reducing Plk1 activity decreases the phosphorylation of Haspin and inhibits H3T3ph, particularly in prophase, suggesting that Plk1 is required for initial activation of Haspin in early mitosis. These studies demonstrate that Plk1 can positively regulate CPC recruitment in mitosis. 相似文献

Introduction
The aim of this study was to investigate PD-1/PD-L1 involvement in the hyporesponsiveness of rheumatoid arthritis (RA) synovial fluid (SF) CD4 T cells upon stimulation by thymic stromal lymphopoietin (TSLP)–primed CD1c myeloid dendritic cells (mDCs).Methods
Expression of PD-1 on naïve (Tn), central memory (Tcm) and effector memory (Tem) CD4 T cell subsets was assessed by flow cytometry. PD-L1 expression and its regulation upon TSLP stimulation of mDCs from peripheral blood (PB) and SF of RA patients were investigated by quantitative RT-PCR and flow cytometry. The involvement of PD-1/PD-L1 interactions in SF T cell hyporesponsiveness upon (TSLP-primed) mDC activation was determined by cell culture in the presence of PD-1 blocking antibodies, with or without interleukin 7 (IL-7) as a recognized suppressor of PD-1 expression.Results
PD-1 expression was increased on CD4 T cells derived from SF compared with PB of RA patients. TSLP increased PD-L1 mRNA expression in both PB and SF mDCs. PD-L1 protein expression was increased on SF mDCs compared with PB mDCs and was associated with T cell hyporesponsiveness. Blockade of PD-1, as well as IL-7 stimulation, during cocultures of memory T cells and (TSLP-primed) mDCs from RA patients significantly recovered T cell proliferation.Conclusion
SF T cell hyporesponsiveness upon (TSLP-primed) mDC stimulation in RA joints is partially dependent on PD-1/PD-L1 interactions, as PD-1 and PD-L1 are both highly expressed on SF T cells and mDCs, respectively, and inhibiting PD-1 availability restores T cell proliferation. The potential of IL-7 to robustly reverse this hyporesponsiveness suggests that such proinflammatory cytokines in RA joints strongly contribute to memory T cell activation. 相似文献36.

We previously showed that incubation of chronic myeloid leukemia (CML) cells in very low oxygen selects a cell subset where the oncogenetic BCR/Abl protein is suppressed and which is thereby refractory to tyrosine kinase inhibitors used for CML therapy. In this study, salarin C, an anticancer macrolide extracted from the Fascaplysinopsis sponge, was tested as for its activity on CML cells, especially after their incubation in atmosphere at 0.1% oxygen. Salarin C induced mitotic cycle arrest, apoptosis and DNA damage. Salarin C also concentration-dependently inhibited the maintenance of stem cell potential in cultures in low oxygen of either CML cell lines or primary cells. Surprisingly, the drug also concentration-dependently enforced the maintenance of BCR/Abl signaling in low oxygen, an effect which was paralleled by the rescue of sensitivity of stem cell potential to IM. These results suggest a potential use of salarin C for the suppression of CML cells refractory to tyrosine kinase inhibitors 相似文献

Introduction
A novel system that combines a compact mobile instrument and Internet communications is presented in this paper for remote evaluation of tremors. The system presents a high potential application in Parkinson's disease and connects to the Internet through a TCP/IP protocol. Tremor transduction is carried out by accelerometers, and the data processing, presentation and storage were obtained by a virtual instrument. The system supplies the peak frequency (fp), the amplitude (Afp) and power in this frequency (Pfp), the total power (Ptot), and the power in low (1-4 Hz) and high (4-7 Hz) frequencies (Plf and Phf, respectively). 相似文献39.
Approximately 100 strains derived from natural populations of Drosophila
melanogaster were tested for the presence or absence of P- element
sequences by using two molecular probes derived from internal regions of a
full-sized P element. Strains that had been collected from several
continents at varying times during the past 60 years were examined. The
oldest available strains, representing most major geographical regions of
the world, exhibited no detectable hybridization to the P-element probes.
In contrast, all recently collected natural populations that were tested
carried P-element sequences. The earliest appearance of P elements occurred
in collections made during the 1950s and early 1960s in the Americas and
during the late 1960s on other continents. The youngest strains that were
completely devoid of P elements originated in populations sampled during
the mid-1960s in America, but as late as 1974 in populations from the USSR.
There are differences in the patterns of hybridization to the two P-element
probes between populations from different geographical regions. These
differences are consistent with the varying P-M phenotypic properties of
these populations. Taken together with the results of phenotypic tests
reported in earlier studies, the available evidence is consistent with the
hypothesis of a worldwide P-element invasion of D. melanogaster during the
past 30 years and suggests that the putative invasion of the Americas
possibly preceded by approximately a decade that in Europe, Africa, and the
rest of the world.

Mitochondrial control-region sequences in two shorebird species, the turnstone and the dunlin, and their utility in population genetic studies 总被引:12,自引:0,他引:12
We determined the mitochondrial control-region sequences of five turnstones
(Arenaria interpres) and three dunlins (Calidris alpina). Comparisons
revealed that the central part (part II) is conserved relative to much more
variable parts at the beginning (part I) and the end (part III). This
pattern of sequence conservation is also found in the control regions of
other vertebrates. The average sequence divergence between turnstone and
dunlin was 21.8% for part I, 7.5% for part II, and 29.5% for part III.
Within-species sequence divergence over the entire control region was much
lower, at 0.9% for turnstones and 2.0% for dunlins. In both shorebird
species, part III contains a repetitive sequence composed only of A and C
nucleotides, which has not been found in the control regions of other
birds. A survey of the part I sequences of 25 turnstones and 25 dunlins
sampled around the world revealed that these species have very different
population genetic structures. Dunlins are not only much more
differentiated in their sequences but also have a strongly subdivided
population genetic structure. Pleistocene vicariant events combined with
strong natal philopatry and high mutation rates of the sequences are likely
responsible for this population genetic subdivision. Conversely, part I
sequences of turnstones are weakly differentiated and are geographically
unstructured. We argue that this is not the result of global gene flow but
that, instead turnstones have recently expanded from a refugial population
that was bottlenecked.
