Neuropilin-1 mediates collapsin-1/semaphorin III inhibition of endothelial cell motility: functional competition of collapsin-1 and vascular endothelial growth factor-165.

Neuropilin-1 (NRP1) is a receptor for two unrelated ligands with disparate activities, vascular endothelial growth factor-165 (VEGF165), an angiogenesis factor, and semaphorin/collapsins, mediators of neuronal guidance. To determine whether semaphorin/collapsins could interact with NRP1 in nonneuronal cells, the effects of recombinant collapsin-1 on endothelial cells (EC) were examined. Collapsin-1 inhibited the motility of porcine aortic EC (PAEC) expressing NRP1 alone; coexpressing KDR and NRP1 (PAEC/KDR/NRP1), but not parental PAEC; or PAEC expressing KDR alone. The motility of PAEC expressing NRP1 was inhibited by 65-75% and this inhibition was abrogated by anti-NRP1 antibody. In contrast, VEGF165 stimulated the motility of PAEC/KDR/NRP1. When VEGF165 and collapsin-1 were added simultaneously to PAEC/KDR/NRP1, dorsal root ganglia (DRG), and COS-7/NRP1 cells, they competed with each other in EC motility, DRG collapse, and NRP1-binding assays, respectively, suggesting that the two ligands have overlapping NRP1 binding sites. Collapsin-1 rapidly disrupted the formation of lamellipodia and induced depolymerization of F-actin in an NRP1-dependent manner. In an in vitro angiogenesis assay, collapsin-1 inhibited the capillary sprouting of EC from rat aortic ring segments. These results suggest that collapsin-1 can inhibit EC motility as well as axon motility, that these inhibitory effects on motility are mediated by NRP1, and that VEGF165 and collapsin-1 compete for NRP1-binding sites.     

基于QuickBird的城市建筑景观格局梯度分析

研究城市建筑景观的梯度变化特征,对城市规划与管理的合理调整有着重要的意义.应用QuickBird影像,基于Barista软件提取了建筑物三维信息,采用建筑平均高度、建筑密度、容积率、建筑高度标准差、建筑体形系数等指标,结合梯度分析法研究了铁西区建筑景观格局的梯度变化.结果表明:从1997到2008年,低层与多层建筑是主要的建筑景观组分,平房与低层建筑占地面积比重显著下降,多层、中高层与高层建筑比重上升.建筑平均高度、容积率与建筑高度标准差逐年上升,建筑密度、建筑体形系数与景观形状指数下降.建筑向垂直方向扩展,建筑能耗降低,形状更加规则.建筑景观的梯度变化与距市中心距离的远近没有关系,与区域功能相关,商业区建筑平均高度与容积率最高,政府所在地范围内建筑密度最大.     

Genome-Wide Association Study of Partial Resistance to P. sojae in Wild Soybeans from Heilongjiang Province,China

Phytophthora root rot (PRR) is a destructive disease of soybeans (Glycine max (L.) Merr) caused by Phytophthora sojae (P. sojae). The most effective way to prevent the disease is growing resistant or tolerant varieties. Partial resistance provides a more durable resistance against the pathogen compared to complete resistance. Wild soybean (Glycine soja Sieb. & Zucc.) seems to be an extraordinarily important gene pool for soybean improvement due to its high level of genetic variation. In this study, 242 wild soybean germplasms originating from different regions of Heilongjiang province were used to identify resistance genes to P. sojae race 1 using a genome-wide association study (GWAS). A total of nine significant SNPs were detected, repeatedly associated with P. sojae resistance and located on chromosomes 1, 10, 12, 15, 17, 19 and 20. Among them, seven favorable allelic variations associated with P. sojae resistance were evaluated by a t-test. Eight candidate genes were predicted to explore the mechanistic hypotheses of partial resistance, including Glysoja.19G051583, which encodes an LRR receptor-like serine/threonine protein kinase protein, Glysoja.19G051581, which encodes a receptor-like cytosolic serine/threonine protein kinase protein. These findings will provide additional insights into the genetic architecture of P. sojae resistance in a large sample of wild soybeans and P. sojae-resistant breeding through marker-assisted selection.

cAMP介导的梨果表皮物化信号对链格孢侵染的调控

采用药理学方法,用cAMP抑制剂阿托品（atropine）处理链格孢Alternaria alternata孢子悬浮液,通过体外试验分析cAMP信号级联通路在链格孢响应梨果皮蜡质疏水性、化学组分和外源乙烯利等刺激后启动孢子萌发、附着胞形成的调控作用,并通过体内试验研究其对链格孢致病性的调控。结果表明,高疏水性表面和梨果蜡涂膜表面及1μmol/L的乙烯利均可显著促进链格孢的孢子萌发和附着胞形成。cAMP信号级联通路抑制剂atropine处理后显著抑制了表皮疏水性、蜡质和外源乙烯介导的链格孢的孢子萌发和附着胞形成,其中抑制剂处理后4h,链格孢在疏水性、果蜡涂膜表面和乙烯等处理中附着胞形成率分别较对照降低了75.3%、63.7%和74.3%,同时抑制剂处理还可抑制损伤接种链格孢早酥梨黑斑病的扩展。外源cAMP可以部分恢复抑制剂的作用,外源cAMP+atropine处理后4h,在高疏水性（108°）和果蜡涂膜表面,链格孢附着胞形成率为抑制剂atropine单独处理的2.4倍和1.6倍,表明cAMP信号级联通路可通过调控侵染结构的形成而影响链格孢对梨果表皮物理化学信号的识别和应答。
