The effects of NaCl stress on the activity of anti-oxidant enzymes (superoxide dismutase, catalase (CAT),peroxidase (POD),ascorbate peroxidase (APX), monodehydroascorbate reductase, dehydroascorbate reductase (DHAR), and glutathionereductase (GR)), anti-oxidant molecules (ascorbate and glutathione), and parameters of oxidative stress (malondialdehyde(MDA), electrolyte leakage, and H_2O_2 concentrations) were investigated in Cakile maritima, a halophyte frequent along theTunisian seashore. Seedlings were grown in the presence of salt (100, 200, and 400 mmol/L NaCI). Plants were harvestedperiodically over 20 days. Growth was maximal in the presence of 0-100 mmol/L NaCl. At 400 mmol/L NaCl, growthdecreased significantly. The salt tolerance of C. maritima, at moderate salinities, was associated with the lowest values ofthe parameters indicative of oxidative stress, namely the highest activities of POD, CAT, APX, DHAR, and GR and high tissuecontent of ascorbate and glutathione. However, prolonged exposure to high salinity resulted in a decrease in anti-oxidantactivities and high MDA content, electrolyte leakage, and H_2O_2 concentrations. These results suggest that anti-oxidantsystems participate in the tolerance of C. maritima to moderate salinities. 相似文献

Background
An early dispersal of biologically and behaviorally modern humans from their African origins to Australia, by at least 45 thousand years via southern Asia has been suggested by studies based on morphology, archaeology and genetics. However, mtDNA lineages sampled so far from south Asia, eastern Asia and Australasia show non-overlapping distributions of haplogroups within pan Eurasian M and N macrohaplogroups. Likewise, support from the archaeology is still ambiguous. 相似文献23.
Background
Anopheles (Nyssorhynchus) albitarsis (Diptera: Culicidae) is one of the very few South American mosquito vectors of malaria successfully colonized in the laboratory. These vectors are very hard to breed because they rarely mate in artificial conditions. A few years ago a free-mating laboratory colony of An. albitarsis sensu stricto was established after about 30 generations of artificial-mating. To begin to understand the process of adaptation of these malaria vectors to the laboratory we have compared the insemination rates of colony mosquitoes to those from the original population in both artificial and free-mating crosses. We also carried out crossing experiments between the two types of mosquitoes for a preliminary analysis of the genetic basis of such adaptation. 相似文献24.

High blood pressure (BP) is the most common cardiovascular risk factor worldwide and a major contributor to heart disease and stroke. We previously discovered a BP-associated missense SNP (single nucleotide polymorphism)–rs2272996–in the gene encoding vanin-1, a glycosylphosphatidylinositol (GPI)-anchored membrane pantetheinase. In the present study, we first replicated the association of rs2272996 and BP traits with a total sample size of nearly 30,000 individuals from the Continental Origins and Genetic Epidemiology Network (COGENT) of African Americans (P = 0.01). This association was further validated using patient plasma samples; we observed that the N131S mutation is associated with significantly lower plasma vanin-1 protein levels. We observed that the N131S vanin-1 is subjected to rapid endoplasmic reticulum-associated degradation (ERAD) as the underlying mechanism for its reduction. Using HEK293 cells stably expressing vanin-1 variants, we showed that N131S vanin-1 was degraded significantly faster than wild type (WT) vanin-1. Consequently, there were only minimal quantities of variant vanin-1 present on the plasma membrane and greatly reduced pantetheinase activity. Application of MG-132, a proteasome inhibitor, resulted in accumulation of ubiquitinated variant protein. A further experiment demonstrated that atenolol and diltiazem, two current drugs for treating hypertension, reduce the vanin-1 protein level. Our study provides strong biological evidence for the association of the identified SNP with BP and suggests that vanin-1 misfolding and degradation are the underlying molecular mechanism. 相似文献

Several studies have indicated that olfactory responses are impeded by
amiloride. Therefore, it was of interest to see whether, and if so which,
olfactory epithelial cellular compartments have amiloride- sensitive
structures. Using ultrastructural methods that involved rapid freezing,
freeze-substitution and low temperature embedding of olfactory epithelia,
this study shows that, in the rat, this tissue is immunoreactive to
antibodies against amiloride sensitive Na(+)- channels. However, microvilli
of olfactory supporting cells, as opposed to receptor cilia, contained most
of the immunoreactive sites. Apices from which the microvilli sprout and
receptor cell dendritic knobs had much less if any of the
amiloride-antibody binding sites. Using a direct ligand-binding
cytochemical method, this study also confirms earlier ones that showed that
olfactory receptor cell cilia have Na+, K(+)-ATPase. It is proposed that
supporting cell microvilli and the receptor cilia themselves have
mechanisms, different but likely complementary, that participate in
regulating the salt concentration around the receptor cell cilia. In this
way, both structures help to provide the ambient mucous environment for
receptor cells to function properly. This regulation of the salt
concentration of an ambient fluid environment is a function that the
olfactory epithelium shares with cells of transporting epithelia, such as
those of kidney.
