Low-temperature storage is generally used to extend postharvest lifetime and to inhibit decay of cucumber fruit, but it also enhances the intensity of chilling injury. The capability of γ-aminobutyric acid to enhance antioxidant enzyme activities and reduce chilling injury was studied in cucumber (Cucumis sativus L.) fruit stored at 1 °C for 5 weeks. The purpose of this study was to define if the GABA-induced modification in antioxidant system and phospholipase activity is linked to the reduced chilling injury in cold-stored cucumber fruit. Alleviation of chilling injury by GABA treatment was related to increased content of proline, endogenous GABA and enhanced activities of CAT and SOD, together with reduced activities of PLC, PLD and LOX. We suggest that PLC, LOX and PLD are associated with chilling injury initiation by involvement in a signaling pathway and membrane deterioration. Therefore the results obtained in this study suggest GABA’s potential for postharvest applications for reducing chilling injury symptom in cucumber fruit. 相似文献

Modulatory function of metabotropic glutamate type 1 (mGlu1) receptors plays a crucial role in the pathophysiology of some neurological disorders, including schizophrenia and epilepsy. In this study, the expression of mGlu1α receptors in the thalamic nuclei was assessed during development of absence seizures in the WAG/Rij rats, a valid genetic animal model of absence epilepsy. In addition, the effect of pharmacological modulation of mGlu1α receptors in the laterodorsal (LD) nucleus of the thalamus on the characteristic features of bioelectrical brain activities in the WAG/Rij rats was assessed. The expression of mGlu1α receptors in the LD was assessed in four experimental groups of both WAG/Rij and Wistar rats with 2 and 6 months of age. Agonist and antagonist of mGlu1α receptors were infused in LD in the six months old WAG/Rij (epileptic) rats. The protein level of mGlu1α receptors in the thalamus of the 6-month-old WAG/Rij rats was lower than non-epileptic animals. In addition, the distribution of mGlu1α receptors in different thalamic nuclei was lower in the 6-month-old WAG/Rij compared to age-matched Wistar rats. The gene expression of mGlu1α receptor was also significantly lower in 6-month-old WAG/Rij rats in the LD compared to other animal groups. The microinjection of mGlu1α receptors agonist and antagonist in the LD reduced the duration of spike-wave discharges (SWDs) and increased the amplitude and duration of SWDs, respectively, in 6-month-old WAG/Rij rats. The alterations of mGlu1α receptors expression in the thalamus of epileptic WAG/Rij rats as well as its modulatory effects in the generation of SWDs suggest the potential of mGlu1 receptors as a therapeutic target in absence epilepsy. 相似文献

Objective: Elevated androgens in women are associated with type 2 diabetes and are dependent on the conversion to estrogens by aromatase cytochrome P450. Polymorphisms of a tetranucleotide repeat [TTTA]n in the fourth intron of the CYP19 gene are associated with endocrine‐dependent diseases and were examined in relation to hormone levels and disease risk factors in premenopausal women. Research Methods and Procedures: A population sample of women born in 1956 (n = 270) were genotyped for this polymorphism and the results set in relation to steroid hormones, including saliva cortisol, anthropometric variables, estimates of insulin, glucose and lipid metabolism, and blood pressure. Results: Seven tetranucleotide repeat [TTTA]n alleles were detected with allelic sizes of 168 to 195 bp, with a TCT deletion/insertion (168/171 bp) upstream of this microsatellite. Smoking was associated with elevated androgens (p = 0.005 to 0.019). Using the median (average stretch, 177.5 bp) as a dividing line, nonsmoking women with the shorter microsatellite had higher free testosterone (p = 0.018) and lower sex hormone binding globulin (p = 0.033). These differences were pronounced with the 168‐bp allele. Such women were also characterized by a less‐substantial decrease of morning cortisols (“unwinding”; p = 0.035) and central obesity (abdominal sagittal diameter, p = 0.049) and had waist/hip circumference ratios of borderline significance (p = 0.064). Discussion: The results indicate that, in premenopausal women, a short microsatellite in the fourth intron of the CYP19 gene, caused by a TCT deletion upstream the [TTTA]n tract, is associated with elevated androgens, perturbed regulation of the hypothalamic‐pituitary‐adrenal axis, and abdominal obesity. 相似文献

Immunotherapy is being increasingly utilized for adjuvant treatment for breast cancer (BC). We have previously described immune
functions during primary therapy for BC. The present study describes immune recovery patterns during long-term, unmaintained
follow-up after completion of adjuvant therapy.A group of patients with primary BC had been treated with adjuvant radio-chemotherapy
(RT + CT) 5-fluorouracil, epirubicin and cyclophosphamide (FEC) (n = 21) and another group with radiotherapy (RT) (n = 20) alone. Immunological testing of NK and T-cell functions was performed initially at the end of adjuvant treatment and
repeated after 2, 6 and 12 months. NK cell cytotoxicity was significantly higher (P < 0.05) at all time-points in patients than in age-matched controls and did not differ between the two treatments groups
during one year observation. In contrast, lower numbers of CD4 T-cells and lower expression of CD28 on T-cells was observed
particularly in RT + CT patients and did not normalize during the observation period. The numbers of Treg cells (CD4+CD25high) were low in the RT + CT group during follow-up, as well as expression of TCRξ, Zap70, p56lck, P59fyn and PI3 k in CD4+ cells. In contrast, expression of intracellular cytokines (IFN-γ, IL-2, IL-4) in CD4 and CD8 T cells were significantly higher
in RT + CT patients than in the RT group and the difference increased during follow-up. In conclusion, NK-cell cytotoxicity
increased during unmaintained long-term follow-up whereas CD4 and regulatory T cells as well as signal transduction molecules
remained low following adjuvant radio-chemotherapy. 相似文献

A series of potent nicotinamide inhibitors of soluble epoxides hydrolase (sEH) is disclosed. This series was designed using structure-based deconstruction and a combination of two HTS hit series, resulting in hybrid analogs that retained the optimal potency from one series, and acceptable in vitro metabolic stability from the other. Structure-guided optimization of these analogs gave rise to nanomolar inhibitors of human sEH that had acceptable plasma exposure to qualify them as probes to determine the in vivo phenotypic consequences of sEH inhibition. 相似文献

A new class of benzimidazolone p38 MAP kinase inhibitors was discovered through high-throughput screening. X-ray crystallographic data of the lead molecule with p38 were used to design analogues with improved binding affinity and potency in a cell assay of LPS-induced TNF production. Herein, we report the SAR of this new class of p38 inhibitors. 相似文献

Sulfur mustard (SM) is a vesication chemical warfare agent for which there is currently no antidote. Despite years of research, there is no common consensus about the pathophysiological basis of chronic pulmonary disease caused by this chemical warfare agent. In this study, we combined chemometric techniques with nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) spectroscopy to explore the metabolic profile of sera from SM-exposed patients. A total of 29 serum samples obtained from 17 SM-injured patients, and 12 healthy controls were analyzed by Random Forest. Increased concentrations of seven amino acids, glycerol, dimethylamine, ketone bodies, lactate, acetate, citrulline and creatine together with the decreased very low-density lipoproteins (VLDL) levels were observed in patients compared with control subjects. Our study reveals the metabolic profile of sera from SM-injured patients and indicates that NMR-based methods can distinguish these patients from healthy controls. 相似文献

2A protease of the pathogenic coxsackievirus B3 is key to the pathogenesis of inflammatory myocarditis and, therefore, an attractive drug target. However lack of a crystal structure impedes design of inhibitors. Here we predict 3D structure of CVB3 2Apro based on sequence comparison and homology modeling with human rhinovirus 2Apro. The two enzymes are remarkably similar in their core regions. However they have different conformations at the N-terminal. A large number of N-terminal hydrophobic residues reduce the thermal stability of CVB3 2Apro, as we confirmed by fluorescence, western blot and turbidity measurement. Molecular dynamic simulation revealed that elevated temperature induces protein motion that results in frequent movement of the N-terminal coil. This may therefore induce successive active site changes and thus play an important role in destabilization of CVB3 2Apro structure. 相似文献
