It is well established that p16INK4A protein acts as a cell cycle inhibitor in the nucleus. Therefore, cytoplasmic localization of p16 INK4A usually is disregarded by investigators as nonspecific. Three recent studies reported findings that differ from the current view concerning p16INK4A immunohistochemical localization. All three demonstrated that breast and colon cancers expressing cytoplasmic p16INK4 represent distinct biological subsets. We previously detected in a percentage of non-small cell lung carcinomas simultaneous nuclear and cytoplasmic p16INK4A staining. In view of the reports concerning breast and colon carcinomas, we conducted an ultrastructural re-evaluation of our cases to clarify the specificity of p16INK4A cytoplasmic expression. We observed p16 INK4A immunolocalization in both the nucleus and the cytoplasm of a proportion of tumor cells. Diffuse dense nuclear staining was detected in the nucleoplasm, whereas weaker granular immunoreactivity was observed in the cytoplasm near the rough endoplasmic reticulum. Negative tumor cells also were visible. In the tumor-associated stromal, cells p16INK4A immunoreactivity was detected only in the nuclei. We have demonstrated that p16INK4A cytoplasmic staining is specific and suggest that it represents a mechanism of p16INK4A inactivation similar to that observed in other tumor suppressor genes. 相似文献

The production of fully functional human red cells in vitro from haematopoietic
stem cells (hHSCs) has been successfully achieved. Recently, the use of hHSCs
from cord blood represented a major improvement to develop the continuous
culture system for Plasmodium vivax. Here, we demonstrated that
CD34+hHSCs from peripheral blood and bone marrow can be expanded and
differentiated to reticulocytes using a novel stromal cell. Moreover, these
reticulocytes and mature red blood cells express surface markers for entrance of
malaria parasites contain adult haemoglobin and are also permissive to invasion
by P. vivax and Plasmodium falciparum
parasites. 相似文献

Cucumber plants grown in hydroponics containing 10 μM Cd(II), Ni(II) and Pb(II), and iron supplied as Fe(III) EDTA or Fe(III) citrate in identical concentrations, were investigated by total-reflection X-ray fluorescence spectrometry with special emphasis on the determination of iron accumulation and distribution within the different plant compartments (root, stem, cotyledon and leaves). The extent of Cd, Ni and Pb accumulation and distribution were also determined. Generally, iron and heavy-metal contaminant accumulation was higher when Fe(III) citrate was used. The accumulation of nickel and lead was higher by about 20% and 100%, respectively, if the iron supply was Fe(III) citrate. The accumulation of Cd was similar. In the case of Fe(III) citrate, the total amounts of Fe taken up were similar in the control and heavy-metal-treated plants (27-31 μmol/plant). Further, the amounts of iron transported from the root towards the shoot of the control, lead- and nickel-contaminated plants were independent of the iron(III) form. Although Fe mobility could be characterized as being low, its distribution within the shoot was not significantly affected by the heavy metals investigated. 相似文献

Impact of two iron(III) chelators on the iron, cadmium, lead and nickel accumulation in poplar grown under heavy metal stress in hydroponics 总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1

Poplar (Populus jacquemontiana var. glauca cv. Kopeczkii) was grown in hydroponics containing 10 μM Cd(II), Ni(II) or Pb(II), and Fe as Fe(III) EDTA or Fe(III) citrate in identical concentrations. The present study was designed to compare the accumulation and distribution of Fe, Cd, Ni and Pb within the different plant compartments. Generally, Fe and heavy-metal accumulation were higher by factor 2-7 and 1.6-3.3, respectively, when Fe(III) citrate was used. Iron transport towards the shoot depended on the Fe(III) chelate and, generally, on the heavy metal used. Lead was accumulated only in the root. The amounts of Fe and heavy metals accumulated by poplar were very similar to those of cucumber grown in an identical way, indicating strong Fe uptake regulation of these two Strategy I plants: a cultivar and a woody plant. The Strategy I Fe uptake mechanism (i.e. reducing Fe(III) followed by Fe(II) uptake), together with the Fe(III) chelate form in the nutrient solution had significant effects on Fe and heavy metal uptake. Poplar appears to show phytoremediation potential for Cd and Ni, as their transport towards the shoot was characterized by 51-54% and 26-48% depending on the Fe(III) supply in the nutrient solution. 相似文献

Virus encoded RNA-silencing suppressors (RSSs) are the key components evolved by the viruses to counter RNA-silencing defense of plants. Whitefly-transmitted begomoviruses infecting tomato crop code for five different proteins, ORF AC4, ORF AC2 and ORF AV2 in DNA-A component, ORF BV1 in DNA-B and ORF βC1 in satellite DNA β which are predicted to function as silencing suppressors. In the present study suppressor function of ORF βC1 of three betasatellites Tomato leaf curl Bangalore betasatellite ToLCBB-[IN:Hess:08], Cotton leaf curl Multan betasatellite CLCuMB–[IN:Sri:02] and Luffa leaf distortion betasatellite LuLDB-[IN:Lu:04] were examined. Agroinfiltration of GFP-silenced Nicotiana tabaccum cv. Xanthi with the cells expressing βC1 protein resulted in reversal of silenced GFP expression. GFP-siRNA level was more than 50-fold lower compared to silenced plants in plants infiltrated with βC1 gene from ToLCBB. However, in the case of 35S-βC1 CLCuMB and 35S-βC1 LuLDB construct, although GFP was expressed, siRNA level was not reduced, indicating that the step at which βC1 interfere in RNA-silencing pathway is different. 相似文献

Fast- and slow-proliferating human adenocarcinoma colorectal cells, HT-29 and HCA-7, respectively, overloaded with transferrin (Tf), Fe(III) citrate, Fe(III) chloride and Fe(II) sulfate were studied by synchrotron radiation total-reflection X-ray spectrometry (TXRF), TXRF-X-ray absorption near edge structure (TXRF-XANES), and micro-X-ray fluorescence imaging to obtain information on the intracellular storage of overloaded iron (Fe). The determined TfR1 mRNA expression for the investigated cells correlated with their proliferation rate. In all cases, the Fe XANES of cells overloaded with inorganic Fe was found to be similar to that of deliquescent Fe(III) sulfate characterized by a distorted octahedral geometry. A fitting model using a linear combination of the XANES of Tf and deliquescent Fe(III) sulfate allowed to explain the near edge structure recorded for HT-29 cells indicating that cellular overload with inorganic Fe results in a non-ferritin-like fast Fe storage. Hierarchical cluster analysis of XANES spectra recorded for Fe overloaded HT-29 and HCA-7 cells was able to distinguish between Fe treatments performed with different Fe species with a 95 % hit rate, indicating clear differences in the Fe storage system. Micro-X-ray fluorescence imaging of Fe overloaded HT-29 cells revealed that Fe is primarily located in the cytosol of the cells. By characterizing the cellular Fe uptake, Fe/S content ratios were calculated based on the X-ray fluorescence signals of the analytes. These Fe/S ratios were dramatically lower for HCA-7 treated with organic Fe(III) treatments suggesting dissimilarities from the Tf-like Fe uptake. 相似文献

Resistance of nicotiana benthamiana to phytophthora infestans is mediated by the recognition of the elicitor protein INF1 总被引:11,自引:0,他引:11 下载免费PDF全文
Phytophthora infestans, the agent of potato and tomato late blight disease, produces a 10-kD extracellular protein, INF1 elicitin. INF1 induces a hypersensitive response in a restricted number of plants, particularly those of the genus Nicotiana. In virulence assays with different P. infestans isolates, five Nicotiana species displayed resistance responses. In all of the interactions, after inoculation with P. infestans zoospores, penetration of an epidermal cell was observed, followed by localized necrosis typical of a hypersensitive response. To determine whether INF1 functions as an avirulence factor in these interactions, we adopted a gene-silencing strategy to inhibit INF1 production. Several transformants deficient in inf1 mRNA and INF1 protein were obtained. These strains remained pathogenic on host plants. However, in contrast to the wild-type and control transformant strains, INF1-deficient strains induced disease lesions when inoculated on N. benthamiana. These results demonstrate that the elicitin INF1 functions as an avirulence factor in the interaction between N. benthamiana and P. infestans. 相似文献

BackgroundAmodiaquine is a 4-aminoquinoline antimalarial similar to chloroquine that is used extensively for the treatment and prevention of malaria. Data on the cardiovascular effects of amodiaquine are scarce, although transient effects on cardiac electrophysiology (electrocardiographic QT interval prolongation and sinus bradycardia) have been observed. We conducted an individual patient data meta-analysis to characterise the cardiovascular effects of amodiaquine and thereby support development of risk minimisation measures to improve the safety of this important antimalarial.Methods and findingsStudies of amodiaquine for the treatment or prevention of malaria were identified from a systematic review. Heart rates and QT intervals with study-specific heart rate correction (QTcS) were compared within studies and individual patient data pooled for multivariable linear mixed effects regression.The meta-analysis included 2,681 patients from 4 randomised controlled trials evaluating artemisinin-based combination therapies (ACTs) containing amodiaquine (n = 725), lumefantrine (n = 499), piperaquine (n = 716), and pyronaridine (n = 566), as well as monotherapy with chloroquine (n = 175) for uncomplicated malaria. Amodiaquine prolonged QTcS (mean = 16.9 ms, 95% CI: 15.0 to 18.8) less than chloroquine (21.9 ms, 18.3 to 25.6, p = 0.0069) and piperaquine (19.2 ms, 15.8 to 20.5, p = 0.0495), but more than lumefantrine (5.6 ms, 2.9 to 8.2, p < 0.001) and pyronaridine (−1.2 ms, −3.6 to +1.3, p < 0.001). In individuals aged ≥12 years, amodiaquine reduced heart rate (mean reduction = 15.2 beats per minute [bpm], 95% CI: 13.4 to 17.0) more than piperaquine (10.5 bpm, 7.7 to 13.3, p = 0.0013), lumefantrine (9.3 bpm, 6.4 to 12.2, p < 0.001), pyronaridine (6.6 bpm, 4.0 to 9.3, p < 0.001), and chloroquine (5.9 bpm, 3.2 to 8.5, p < 0.001) and was associated with a higher risk of potentially symptomatic sinus bradycardia (≤50 bpm) than lumefantrine (risk difference: 14.8%, 95% CI: 5.4 to 24.3, p = 0.0021) and chloroquine (risk difference: 8.0%, 95% CI: 4.0 to 12.0, p < 0.001). The effect of amodiaquine on the heart rate of children aged <12 years compared with other antimalarials was not clinically significant. Study limitations include the unavailability of individual patient-level adverse event data for most included participants, but no serious complications were documented.ConclusionsWhile caution is advised in the use of amodiaquine in patients aged ≥12 years with concomitant use of heart rate–reducing medications, serious cardiac conduction disorders, or risk factors for torsade de pointes, there have been no serious cardiovascular events reported after amodiaquine in widespread use over 7 decades. Amodiaquine and structurally related antimalarials in the World Health Organization (WHO)-recommended dose regimens alone or in ACTs are safe for the treatment and prevention of malaria.In this meta-analysis, Xin Hui Supanee Chan and colleagues investigate the cardiovascular effects of amodiaquine and structurally-related antimalarials using individual patient data from trials. 相似文献

Anaemia is amongst the major complications of malaria, a major public health problem
in the Amazon Region in Latin America. We examined the haemoglobin (Hb)
concentrations of malaria-infected patients and compared it to that of
malaria-negative febrile patients and afebrile controls. The haematological
parameters of febrile patients who had a thick-blood-smear performed at an infectious
diseases reference centre of the Brazilian Amazon between December 2009-January 2012
were retrieved together with clinical data. An afebrile community control group was
composed from a survey performed in a malaria-endemic area. Hb concentrations and
anaemia prevalence were analysed according to clinical-epidemiological status and
demographic characteristics. In total, 7,831 observations were included. Patients
with Plasmodium falciparum infection had lower mean Hb
concentrations (10.5 g/dL) followed by P. vivax-infected individuals
(12.4 g/dL), community controls (12.8 g/dL) and malaria-negative febrile patients
(13.1 g/dL) (p < 0.001). Age, gender and clinical-epidemiological status were
strong independent predictors for both outcomes. Amongst malaria-infected
individuals, women in the reproductive age had considerably lower Hb concentrations.
In this moderate transmission intensity setting, both vivax and falciparum malaria
are associated with reduced Hb concentrations and risk of anaemia throughout a wide
age range. 相似文献
