A dwarf mutant glu was identified from screening of T-DNA tagged rice population. Genetic analysis of the T1 generation of glu revealed that a segregation ratio of wild-type:dwarf phenotype was 3:1, suggesting that the mutated phenotype was controlled
by a single recessive nuclear locus. The mutated gene OsGLU1, identified by Tail-PCR, encodes a putative membrane-bound endo-1,4-β-D-glucanase, which is highly conserved between mono-
and dicotyledonous plants. Mutation of OsGLU1 resulted in a reduction in cell elongation, and a decrease in cellulose content
but an increase in pectin content, suggesting that OsGLU1 affects the internode elongation and cell wall components of rice plants. Transgenic glu mutants harboring the OsGLU1 gene complemented the mutation and displayed the wild-type phenotype. In addition, OsGLU1 RNAi plants showed similar phenotype as the glu mutant has. These results indicate that OsGLU1 plays important roles in plant
cell growth. Gibberellins and brassinosteroids induced OsGLU1 expression. In rice genome, endo-1,4-β-D-glucanases form a multiple gene family with 15 members, and each may have a distinct
expression pattern in different organs. These results indicate that endo-1, 4-β-D-glucanases may play diverse roles in growth
and developmental process of rice plants.

The inverse F-BAR (IF-BAR) domain proteins srGAP1, srGAP2 and srGAP3 are implicated in neuronal development and may be linked to mental retardation, schizophrenia and seizure. A partially overlapping expression pattern and highly similar protein structures indicate a functional redundancy of srGAPs in neuronal development. Our previous study suggests that srGAP3 negatively regulates neuronal differentiation in a Rac1-dependent manner in mouse Neuro2a cells. Here we show that exogenously expressed srGAP1 and srGAP2 are sufficient to inhibit valporic acid (VPA)-induced neurite initiation and growth in the mouse Neuro2a cells. While ectopic- or over-expression of RhoGAP-defective mutants, srGAP1R542A and srGAP2R527A exert a visible inhibitory effect on neuronal differentiation. Unexpectedly, knockdown of endogenous srGAP2 fails to facilitate the neuronal differentiation induced by VPA, but promotes neurite outgrowth of differentiated cells. All three IF-BAR domains from srGAP1-3 can induce filopodia formation in Neuro2a, but the isolated IF-BAR domain from srGAP2, not from srGAP1 and srGAP3, can promote VPA-induced neurite initiation and neuronal differentiation. We identify biochemical and functional interactions of the three srGAPs family members. We propose that srGAP3-Rac1 signaling may be required for the effect of srGAP1 and srGAP2 on attenuating neuronal differentiation. Furthermore, inhibition of Slit-Robo interaction can phenocopy a loss-of-function of srGAP3, indicating that srGAP3 may be dedicated to the Slit-Robo pathway. Our results demonstrate the interplay between srGAP1, srGAP2 and srGAP3 regulates neuronal differentiation and neurite outgrowth. These findings may provide us new insights into the possible roles of srGAPs in neuronal development and a potential mechanism for neurodevelopmental diseases. 相似文献

A well-known histopathological feature of diseased skin in Buruli ulcer (BU) is coagulative necrosis caused by the Mycobacterium ulcerans macrolide exotoxin mycolactone. Since the underlying mechanism is not known, we have investigated the effect of mycolactone on endothelial cells, focussing on the expression of surface anticoagulant molecules involved in the protein C anticoagulant pathway. Congenital deficiencies in this natural anticoagulant pathway are known to induce thrombotic complications such as purpura fulimans and spontaneous necrosis. Mycolactone profoundly decreased thrombomodulin (TM) expression on the surface of human dermal microvascular endothelial cells (HDMVEC) at doses as low as 2ng/ml and as early as 8hrs after exposure. TM activates protein C by altering thrombin’s substrate specificity, and exposure of HDMVEC to mycolactone for 24 hours resulted in an almost complete loss of the cells’ ability to produce activated protein C. Loss of TM was shown to be due to a previously described mechanism involving mycolactone-dependent blockade of Sec61 translocation that results in proteasome-dependent degradation of newly synthesised ER-transiting proteins. Indeed, depletion from cells determined by live-cell imaging of cells stably expressing a recombinant TM-GFP fusion protein occurred at the known turnover rate. In order to determine the relevance of these findings to BU disease, immunohistochemistry of punch biopsies from 40 BU lesions (31 ulcers, nine plaques) was performed. TM abundance was profoundly reduced in the subcutis of 78% of biopsies. Furthermore, it was confirmed that fibrin deposition is a common feature of BU lesions, particularly in the necrotic areas. These findings indicate that there is decreased ability to control thrombin generation in BU skin. Mycolactone’s effects on normal endothelial cell function, including its ability to activate the protein C anticoagulant pathway are strongly associated with this. Fibrin-driven tissue ischemia could contribute to the development of the tissue necrosis seen in BU lesions. 相似文献

The determination of neurotransmitters (NTs) and their metabolites facilitates better understanding of complex neurobiology in the central nervous system disorders and has expanding uses in many other fields. We present a liquid chromatography-electrospray ionization tandem mass spectrometry (LC-ESI/MS/MS) method for the quantification of dopamine (DA), 3,4-dihydroxyphenylacetic acid (DOPAC), homovanillic acid (HVA), norepinephrine (NE), vanillymandelic acid (VMA), 3-methoxy-4-hydroxy phenylglycol (MHPG), 5-hydroxytryptamine (5-HT), 5-hydroxyindole-3-acetic acid (5-HIAA), glutamate (Glu), and γ-aminobutyric acid (GABA). The NTs and their metabolites were dansylated and analyzed by an LC gradient on a C18 column on-line with a tandem mass spectrometer. This method exhibited excellent linearity for all of the analytes with regression coefficients higher than 0.99. The lower limit of quantification (LLOQ) values for DA, DOPAC, HVA, NE, VMA, MHPG, 5-HT, 5-HIAA, Glu, and GABA were 0.57, 0.37, 0.35, 0.40, 0.35, 0.91, 0.27, 0.43, 0.65, and 1.62 pmol/ml, respectively. The precision results were expressed as coefficients of variation (CVs), ranging from 1.5% to 13.6% for intraassay and from 2.9% to 13.7% for the interassay. This novel LC-ESI/MS/MS approach is precise, highly sensitive, specific, and sufficiently simple. It can provide an alternative method for the quantification of the NTs and their metabolites in human plasma. 相似文献

A rapid and selective high performance liquid chromatography–tandem mass spectrometry (HPLC–MS/MS) method for simultaneous determination of isoniazid (INH), rifampicin (RFP) and levofloxacin (LVX) in mouse tissues and plasma has been developed and validated, using gatifloxacin as the internal standard (I.S.). The compounds and I.S. were extracted from tissue homogenate and plasma by a protein precipitation procedure with methanol. The HPLC separation of the analytes was performed on a Welch materials C4 column (250 mm × 4.6 mm, 5.0 μm, USA) at 25 °C, using a gradient elution program with the initial mobile phase constituting of 0.05% formic acid and methanol (93:7, v/v) at a flow-rate of 1.0 ml/min. For all the three analytes, the recoveries varied between 83.3% and 98.8% in tissues and between 75.5% and 90.8% in plasma, the accuracies ranged from 91.7% to 112.0% in tissues and from 94.6% to 108.8% in plasma, and the intra- and inter-day precisions were less than 13.3% in tissues and less than 8.2% in plsama. Calibration ranges for INH were 0.11–5.42 μg/g in tissues and 0.18–9.04 μg/ml in plasma, for RFP were 0.12–1200 μg/g in tissues and 4.0–200 μg/ml in plasma, and for LVX were 0.13–26.2 μg/g in tissues and 0.09–4.53 μg/ml in plasma. The lower limits of quantification (LLOQs) for INH, RFP and LVX in mouse tissues were 0.11, 0.12 and 0.13 μg/g and for those in mouse plasma were 18.1, 20.0 and 21.8 ng/ml, respectively. The limits of detection (LODs) for INH, RFP and LVX in mouse tissues were 0.04, 0.05 and 0.05 μg/g and for those in mouse plasma were 5.5, 6.0 and 6.6 ng/ml, respectively. The established method was successfully applied to simultaneous determination of isoniazid, rifampicin and levofloxacin in mouse plasma and different mouse tissues. 相似文献

Human CD93, an epidermal growth factor (EGF)-like domain containing transmembrane protein, is predominantly expressed in the vascular endothelium. Studies have shown that AA4, the homolog of CD93 in mice, may mediate cell migration and angiogenesis in endothelial cells. Soluble CD93 has been detected in the plasma of healthy individuals. However, the role of soluble CD93 in the endothelium remains unclear. Recombinant soluble CD93 proteins with EGF-like domains (rCD93D123, with domains 1, 2, and 3; and rCD93D23, with domains 2 and 3) were generated to determine their functions in angiogenesis. We found that rCD93D23 was more potent than rCD93D123 in stimulating the proliferation and migration of human umbilical vein endothelial cells (HUVECs). Production of matrix-metalloproteinase 2 increased after the HUVECs were treated with rCD93D23. Further, in a tube formation assay, rCD93D23 induced cell differentiation of HUVECs through phosphoinositide 3-kinase/Akt/endothelial nitric oxide synthase and extracellular signal-regulated kinases-1/2 signaling. Moreover, rCD93D23 promoted blood vessel formation in a Matrigel-plug assay and an oxygen-induced retinopathy model in vivo. Our findings suggest that the soluble EGF-like domain containing CD93 protein is a novel angiogenic factor acting on the endothelium. 相似文献

Thrombomodulin (TM) is an anticoagulant glycoprotein highly expressed on endothelial cell surfaces. Increased levels of soluble TM in circulation have been widely accepted as an indicator of endothelial damage or dysfunction. Previous studies indicated that various proinflammatory factors stimulate TM shedding in various cell types such as smooth muscle cells and epithelial cells. Lysophosphatidic acid (LPA) is a bioactive lipid mediator present in biological fluids during endothelial damage or injury. In the present study, we first observed that LPA triggered TM shedding in human umbilical vein endothelial cells (HUVECs). By Cyflow analysis, we showed that the LPA-induced accessibility of antibodies to the endothelial growth factor (EGF)-like domain of TM is independent of matrix metalloproteinases (MMPs), while LPA-induced TM lectin-like domain shedding is MMP-dependent. Furthermore, a stable cell line expressing TM without its lectin-like domain exhibited a higher cell proliferation rate than a stable cell line expressing full-length TM. These results imply that LPA induces TM lectin-like domain shedding, which might contribute to the exposure of its EGF-like domain for EGF receptor (EGFR) binding, thereby stimulating subsequent cell proliferation. Based on our findings, we propose a novel mechanism for the exposure of TM EGF-like domain, which possibly mediates LPA-induced EGFR transactivation. 相似文献
