We hypothesize that plasma volume decrease (DeltaPV) induced by high-altitude (HA) exposure and intense exercise is involved in the limitation of maximal O(2) uptake (VO(2)(max)) at HA. Eight male subjects were decompressed for 31 days in a hypobaric chamber to the barometric equivalent of Mt. Everest (8,848 m). Maximal exercise was performed with and without plasma volume expansion (PVX, 219-292 ml) during exercise, at sea level (SL), at HA (370 mmHg, equivalent to 6, 000 m after 10-12 days) and after return to SL (RSL, 1-3 days). Plasma volume (PV) was determined at rest at SL, HA, and RSL by Evans blue dilution. PV was decreased by 26% (P < 0.01) at HA and was 10% higher at RSL than at SL. Exercise-induced DeltaPV was reduced both by PVX and HA (P < 0.05). Compared with SL, VO(2)(max) was decreased by 58 and 11% at HA and RSL, respectively. VO(2)(max) was enhanced by PVX at HA (+9%, P < 0.05) but not at SL or RSL. The more PV was decreased at HA, the more VO(2)(max) was improved by PVX (P < 0.05). At exhaustion, plasma renin and aldosterone were not modified at HA compared with SL but were higher at RSL, whereas plasma atrial natriuretic factor was lower at HA. The present results suggest that PV contributes to the limitation of VO(2)(max) during acclimatization to HA. RSL-induced PVX, which may be due to increased activity of the renin-aldosterone system, could also influence the recovery of VO(2)(max). 相似文献

At the imprinted Rasgrf1 locus in mouse, a cis-acting sequence controls DNA methylation at a differentially methylated domain (DMD). While characterizing epigenetic marks over the DMD, we observed that DNA and H3K27 trimethylation are mutually exclusive, with DNA and H3K27 methylation limited to the paternal and maternal sequences, respectively. The mutual exclusion arises because one mark prevents placement of the other. We demonstrated this in five ways: using 5-azacytidine treatments and mutations at the endogenous locus that disrupt DNA methylation; using a transgenic model in which the maternal DMD inappropriately acquired DNA methylation; and by analyzing materials from cells and embryos lacking SUZ12 and YY1. SUZ12 is part of the PRC2 complex, which is needed for placing H3K27me3, and YY1 recruits PRC2 to sites of action. Results from each experimental system consistently demonstrated antagonism between H3K27me3 and DNA methylation. When DNA methylation was lost, H3K27me3 encroached into sites where it had not been before; inappropriate acquisition of DNA methylation excluded normal placement of H3K27me3, and loss of factors needed for H3K27 methylation enabled DNA methylation to appear where it had been excluded. These data reveal the previously unknown antagonism between H3K27 and DNA methylation and identify a means by which epigenetic states may change during disease and development. 相似文献

Immunosensors, based on the immobilization of a model rabbit antibody on mixed self-assembled monolayers and Protein A as a linking agent on gold transducers, were elaborated and characterized at each step by modulated polarization-infrared spectroscopy (PM-IRRAS) and occasionally by atomic force microscopy (AFM) and quartz crystal microbalance (QCM). By testing two different mixed SAMs comprising 11-mercaptoundecanoic acid (MUA), together with either decanethiol (C9CH3) or mercaptohexanol (C6OH), the role of the chemical composition and structure of the antibody attachment layer upon the sensor performance was demonstrated. 相似文献

Corynebacterium glutamicum ATCC 21850 produces up to 5 g of extracellular L-tryptophan per liter in broth culture and displays resistance to several synthetic analogs of aromatic amino acids. Here we report the cloning of the tryptophan biosynthesis (trp) gene cluster of this strain on a 14.5-kb BamHI fragment. Subcloning and complementation of Escherichia coli trp auxotrophs revealed that as in Brevibacterium lactofermentum, the C. glutamicum trp genes are clustered in an operon in the order trpE, trpD, trpC, trpB, trpA. The cloned fragment also confers increased resistance to the analogs 5-methyltryptophan and 6-fluorotryptophan on E. coli. The sequence of the ATCC 21850 trpE gene revealed no significant changes when compared to the trpE sequence of a wild-type strain reported previously. However, analysis of the promoter-regulatory region revealed a nonsense (TGG-to-TGA) mutation in the third of three tandem Trp codons present within a trp leader gene. Polymerase chain reaction amplification and sequencing of the corresponding region confirmed the absence of this mutation in the wild-type strain. RNA secondary-structure predictions and sequence similarities to the E. coli trp attenuator suggest that this mutation results in a constitutive antitermination response. 相似文献

Flowering time in wheat and barley is known to be modified by mutations in the Photoperiod-1 (Ppd-1) gene. Semi-dominant Ppd-1a mutations conferring an early flowering phenotype are well documented in wheat but gene sequencing has also identified candidate loss of function mutations for Ppd-A1 and Ppd-D1. By analogy to the recessive ppd-H1 mutation in barley, loss of function mutations in wheat are predicted to delay flowering under long day conditions. To test this experimentally, introgression lines were developed in the spring wheat variety ‘Paragon’. Plants lacking a Ppd-B1 gene were identified from a gamma irradiated ‘Paragon’ population. These were crossed with the other introgression lines to generate plants with candidate loss of function mutations on one, two or three genomes.Lines lacking Ppd-B1 flowered 10 to 15 days later than controls under long days. Candidate loss of function Ppd-A1 alleles delayed flowering by 1 to 5 days while candidate loss of function Ppd-D1 alleles did not affect flowering time. Loss of Ppd-A1 gave an enhanced effect, and loss of Ppd-D1 became detectable in lines where Ppd-B1 was absent, indicating effects may be buffered by functional Ppd-1 alleles on other genomes. Expression analysis revealed that delayed flowering was associated with reduced expression of the TaFT1 gene and increased expression of TaCO1.A survey of the GEDIFLUX wheat collection grown in the UK and North Western Europe between the 1940s and 1980s and the A.E. Watkins global collection of landraces from the 1920s and 1930s showed that the identified candidate loss of function mutations for Ppd-D1 were common and widespread, while the identified candidate Ppd-A1 loss of function mutation was rare in countries around the Mediterranean and in the Far East but was common in North Western Europe. This may reflect a possible benefit of the latter in northern locations. 相似文献

In this contribution, we demonstrate a simple carbon nanotube device to electrically detect the presence of bacteria (Escherichai coli) with high sensitivity (<100 cfu/mL) and the glucose triggered metabolic activities of bacteria in real-time. As proof-of-concept demonstration, we also show that this nanoelectronic approach can be employed for high-throughput screening of anti-bacterial drugs. 相似文献

Background
The main goal of selection is to achieve genetic gain for a population by choosing the best breeders among a set of selection candidates. Since 2013, the use of a high density genotyping chip (600K Affymetrix® Axiom® HD genotyping array) for chicken has enabled the implementation of genomic selection in layer and broiler breeding, but the genotyping costs remain high for a routine use on a large number of selection candidates. It has thus been deemed interesting to develop a low density genotyping chip that would induce lower costs. In this perspective, various simulation studies have been conducted to find the best way to select a set of SNPs for low density genotyping of two laying hen lines.Results
To design low density SNP chips, two methodologies, based on equidistance (EQ) or on linkage disequilibrium (LD) were compared. Imputation accuracy was assessed as the mean correlation between true and imputed genotypes. The results showed correlations more sensitive to false imputation of SNPs having low Minor Allele Frequency (MAF) when the EQ methodology was used. An increase in imputation accuracy was obtained when SNP density was increased, either through an increase in the number of selected windows on a chromosome or through the rise of the LD threshold. Moreover, the results varied depending on the type of chromosome (macro or micro-chromosome). The LD methodology enabled to optimize the number of SNPs, by reducing the SNP density on macro-chromosomes and by increasing it on micro-chromosomes. Imputation accuracy also increased when the size of the reference population was increased. Conversely, imputation accuracy decreased when the degree of kinship between reference and candidate populations was reduced. Finally, adding selection candidates’ dams in the reference population, in addition to their sire, enabled to get better imputation results.Conclusions
Whichever the SNP chip, the methodology, and the scenario studied, highly accurate imputations were obtained, with mean correlations higher than 0.83. The key point to achieve good imputation results is to take into account chicken lines’ LD when designing a low density SNP chip, and to include the candidates’ direct parents in the reference population.40.

AIMS: To determine the efficiency of an electric discharge of the gliding arc type for the destruction of Staphylococcus epidermidis planktonic, adherent and biofilm cells. METHODS AND RESULTS: Bacterial cells were treated in humid air and at atmospheric pressure by a nonthermal quenched plasma of the glidarc type. The kinetics of destruction (followed by plating) were modelled by an Add-inn for Microsoft Excel, GInaFiT. For planktonic cells, log-linear destruction was obtained, whereas biphasic kinetics were observed for sessile cells. An increased resistance of biofilm cells was observed: the reduction of 6 logarithm units of the population was obtained in 15, 30 and 70 min for planktonic, adherent and biofilm cells, respectively. The experiments also show that the cells destruction did not depend on the adhesion surface but was governed by the gap between the target and the plasma source. CONCLUSION: The complete destruction of planktonic, adherent and more resistant biofilm cells of Staph. epidermidis is achieved by a glidarc air plasma at atmospheric pressure. SIGNIFICANCE AND IMPACT OF THE STUDY: The glidarc plasma technology is a promising candidate among the emerging nonthermal techniques for decontamination, as it can destroy even biofilms that are known as particularly resistant to various antimicrobials. 相似文献
