Establishing optimized protocols for micropropagation of some economical plants, such as Prunus sp., is still one of the most important challenges for in vitro plant culture researchers. As an example, micropropagation of GF677 hybrid rootstocks (peach × almond) are extremely dependent on the medium ingredients and a large undesirable proportion of GF677 shoots need to be discarded as a result of hyperhydricity and chlorosis. In this study, an artificial intelligence technique—specifically neurofuzzy logic—has been employed, as a modeling tool, to increase knowledge on the effect of 8 ion macronutrients (NH4 +, NO3 ?, Ca2+, K+, Mg2+, SO4 2?, PO4 2? and Na+; as inputs) on three growth parameters (outputs): total number of shoots per explant, healthy number of shoots per explant, and their bud number. The model delivered new insights, by three sets of IF–THEN rules, pinpointing the key role of NO3 ? and their interactions (NO3 ? × Ca2+ and NO3 ? × Ca2+ × K+) on all growth parameters measured. All growth parameters showed a high correlation ratio between experimental and predicted values being 77.48, 91.78 and 90.78 for total shoots, healthy number and bud number, respectively. Regression coefficients higher than 77 % together with statistical significant ANOVA (p < 0.01) indicated good performance of neurofuzzy logic models. Moreover, The model also can be used for inferring the best combination of ion concentrations to obtain high quality GF677 micropropagated shoots. In conclusion, we assess the utility of neurofuzzy logic technology in modeling complex databases, identifying new complex interactions among macronutrients, and inferring new results and valuable knowledge, which can be applied to design new plant tissue culture media and improve plant micropropagation. 相似文献

Identification of a series of imidazo[4,5-c]pyridin-4-one derivatives that act as dual angiotensin II type 1 (AT1) receptor antagonists and peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor-γ (PPARγ) partial agonists is described. Starting from a known AT1 antagonist template, conformational restriction was introduced by incorporation of an indane ring that when combined with appropriate substitution at the imidazo[4,5-c]pyridin-4-one provided novel series 5 possessing the desired dual activity. The mode of interaction of this series with PPARγ was corroborated through the X-ray crystal structure of 12b bound to the human PPARγ ligand binding domain. Modulation of activity at both receptors through substitution at the pyridone nitrogen led to the identification of potent dual AT1 antagonists/PPARγ partial agonists. Among them, 21b was identified possessing potent dual pharmacology (AT1 IC50 = 7 nM; PPARγ EC50 = 295 nM, 27% max) and good ADME properties. 相似文献

A431 cells, derived from epidermoid carcinoma, overexpress the epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) and when treated with a high dose of EGF will undergo apoptosis. We exploited microarray and proteomics techniques and network prediction to study the regulatory mechanisms of EGF-induced apoptosis in A431 cells. We observed significant changes in gene expression in 162 genes, approximately evenly split between pro-apoptotic and anti-apoptotic genes and identified 30 proteins from the proteomic data that had either pro or anti-apoptotic annotation. Our correlation analysis of gene expression and proteome modeled a number of distinct sub-networks that are associated with the onset of apoptosis, allowing us to identify specific pathways and components. These include components of the interferon signalling pathway, and down stream components, including cytokines and suppressors of cytokine signalling. A central component of almost all gene expression sub-networks identified was TP53, which is mutated in A431 cells, and was down regulated. This down regulation of TP53 appeared to be correlated with proteomic sub-networks of cytoskeletal or cell adhesion components that might induce apoptosis by triggering cytochrome C release. Of the only three genes also differentially expressed as proteins, only serpinb1 had a known association with apoptosis. We confirmed that up regulation and cleavage of serpinb1 into L-DNAaseII was correlated with the induction of apoptosis. It is unlikely that a single pathway, but more likely a combination of pathways is needed to trigger EGF induced apoptosis in A431cells. 相似文献

Tandem repeats are found in both coding and non-coding sequences of higher organisms. These sequences can be used in cancer genetics and diagnosis to unravel the genetic basis of tumor formation and progression. In this study, a possible relationship between SSR distributions and lung cancer was studied by comparative analysis of EST-SSRs in normal and lung cancerous tissues. While the EST-SSR distribution was similar between tumorous tissues, this distribution was different between normal and tumorous tissues. Trinucleotides tandem repeats were highly different; the number of trinucleotides in ESTs of lung cancer was 3 times higher than normal tissue. Significant negative correlation between normal and cancerous tissue showed that cancerous tissue generates different types of trinucleotides. GGC and CGC were the more frequent expressed trinucleotides in cancerous tissue, but these SSRs were not expressed in normal tissue. Similar to the EST level, the expression pattern of EST-SSRs-derived amino acids was significantly different between normal and cancerous tissues. Arg, Pro, Ser, Gly, and Lys were the most abundant amino acids in cancerous tissues, and Leu, Cys, Phe, and His were significantly more abundant in normal tissues than in cancerous tissues. Next, the putative functions of triplet SSR-containing genes were analyzed. In cancerous tissue, EST-SSRs produce different types of proteins. Chromodomain helicase DNA binding proteins were one of the major protein products of EST-SSRs in the cancerous library, while these proteins were not produced from EST-SSRs in normal tissue. For the first time, the findings of this study confirmed that EST-SSRs in normal lung tissues are different than in unhealthy tissues, and tagged ESTs with SSRs cause remarkable differences in amino acid and protein expression patterns in cancerous tissue. We suggest that EST-SSRs and EST-SSRs differentially expressed in cancerous tissue may be suitable candidate markers for lung cancer diagnosis and prediction. 相似文献

Halophile proteins can tolerate high salt concentrations. Understanding halophilicity features is the first step toward engineering halostable crops. To this end, we examined protein features contributing to the halo-toleration of halophilic organisms. We compared more than 850 features for halophilic and non-halophilic proteins with various screening, clustering, decision tree, and generalized rule induction models to search for patterns that code for halo-toleration. Up to 251 protein attributes selected by various attribute weighting algorithms as important features contribute to halo-stability; from them 14 attributes selected by 90% of models and the count of hydrogen gained the highest value (1.0) in 70% of attribute weighting models, showing the importance of this attribute in feature selection modeling. The other attributes mostly were the frequencies of di-peptides. No changes were found in the numbers of groups when K-Means and TwoStep clustering modeling were performed on datasets with or without feature selection filtering. Although the depths of induced trees were not high, the accuracies of trees were higher than 94% and the frequency of hydrophobic residues pointed as the most important feature to build trees. The performance evaluation of decision tree models had the same values and the best correctness percentage recorded with the Exhaustive CHAID and CHAID models. We did not find any significant difference in the percent of correctness, performance evaluation, and mean correctness of various decision tree models with or without feature selection. For the first time, we analyzed the performance of different screening, clustering, and decision tree algorithms for discriminating halophilic and non-halophilic proteins and the results showed that amino acid composition can be used to discriminate between halo-tolerant and halo-sensitive proteins. 相似文献

Cytotoxic small-molecule drugs have a major influence on the fate of antibody–drug conjugates (ADCs). An ideal cytotoxic agent should be highly potent, remain stable while linked to ADCs, kill the targeted tumor cell upon internalization and release from the ADCs, and maintain its activity in multidrug-resistant tumor cells. Lessons learned from successful and failed experiences in ADC development resulted in remarkable progress in the discovery and development of novel highly potent small molecules. A better understanding of such small-molecule drugs is important for development of effective ADCs. The present review discusses requirements making a payload appropriate for antitumor ADCs and focuses on the main characteristics of commonly-used cytotoxic payloads that showed acceptable results in clinical trials. In addition, the present study represents emerging trends and recent advances of payloads used in ADCs currently under clinical trials. 相似文献

Reactive oxygen species are implicated in pulmonary hypertension and hypoxic pulmonary vasoconstriction. We examined the effects of low concentrations of peroxide on intrapulmonary arteries (IPA). IPAs from Wistar rats were mounted on a myograph for recording tension and estimating intracellular Ca2+ using Fura-PE3. Ca2+ sensitization was examined in alpha-toxin-permeabilized IPAs, and phosphorylation of MYPT-1 and MLC(20) was assayed by Western blot. Peroxide (30 microM) induced a vasoconstriction with transient and sustained components and equivalent elevations of intracellular Ca2+. The transient constriction was strongly suppressed by indomethacin, the TP-receptor antagonist SQ-29584, and the Rho kinase inhibitor Y-27632, whereas sustained constriction was unaffected. Neither vasoconstriction nor elevation of intracellular Ca2+ was affected by removal of extracellular Ca2+, whereas dantrolene suppressed the former and ryanodine abolished the latter. Peroxide-induced constriction of permeabilized IPAs was unaffected by Y-27632 but abolished by PKC inhibitors; these also suppressed constriction in intact IPAs. Peroxide caused translocation of PKCalpha, but had no significant effect on MYPT-1 or MLC(20) phosphorylation. We conclude that in IPAs peroxide causes transient release of vasoconstrictor prostanoids, but sustained constriction is associated with release of Ca2+ from ryanodine-sensitive stores and a PKC-dependent but Rho kinase- and MLC(20)-independent constrictor mechanism. 相似文献
