Cardiovascular diseases (CVDs) are one of the leading causes of morbidity and mortality. Standard therapies have failed to significantly increase patients’ survival. Moreover, the majority of conventional screening procedures are ineffective for the diagnosis of CVDs at early stages. Accumulating evidence suggests that numerous cell types release a class of nano-sized vesicles named exosomes into the extracellular space. Exosomes are widely distributed in various body fluids and contain a number of diverse biomolecules such as proteins, lipids, and both mRNA and noncoding RNAs which reflect host-cell molecular architecture. MicroRNAs (miRNAs), which can be found in exosomes, could be taken up by both neighboring and distal cells. Not only has recent evidence indicated the regulatory role of exosomal miRNAs in the pathogenesis of CVD, but it has also been shown that differential expression of exosomal miRNAs in CVDs has made them promising biomarkers for early detection of CVDs. Owing to these remarkable features, exosomal miRNAs have emerged as hot spots in research. This review summarizes the role of exosomal miRNAs in the pathogenesis of CVDs and discusses their potential application in the clinical setting as both therapeutic and diagnostic tools. 相似文献

Jute (Corchorus spp.), as a natural fibre‐producing species, ranks next only to cotton. Inadequate understanding of its genetic architecture is a major lacuna for genetic improvement of this crop in terms of yield and quality. Establishment of a physical map provides a genomic tool that helps in positional cloning of valuable genes. In this report, an attempt was initiated to study association and localisation of single copy expressed sequence tag (EST) loci in the genome of Corchorus olitorius. The chromosome‐specific association of EST was determined based on the appearance of an extra signal for a single copy cDNA probe in mitotic interphase nuclei of specific trisomic(s) for fluorescence in situ hybridisation, and validated using a cDNA fragment of the 26S rRNA gene (600 bp) as molecular probe. The probe exhibited three signals in meiotic interphase nuclei of trisomic 5, instead of two as observed in diploids and other trisomics, indicating its association with chromosome 5. Subsequent hybridisation of the same probe on the pachytene chromosomes of diploids confirmed that 26S rRNA occupies the terminal end of the short arm of chromosome 5 in C. olitorius. Subsequently, chromosome‐specific association of 63 single copy EST and their physical localisation were determined on chromosomes 2, 4, 5 and 7. The study describes chromosome‐specific physical localisation of genes in jute. The approach used here could be a step towards construction of genome‐wide physical maps for any recalcitrant plant species like jute. 相似文献

Activation of TRPC3 channels is concurrent with inositol 1,4,5-trisphosphate (IP(3)) receptor (IP(3)R)-mediated intracellular Ca(2+) release and associated with phosphatidylinositol 4,5-bisphosphate hydrolysis and recruitment to the plasma membrane. Here we report that interaction of TRPC3 with receptor for activated C-kinase-1 (RACK1) not only determines plasma membrane localization of the channel but also the interaction of IP(3)R with RACK1 and IP(3)-dependent intracellular Ca(2+) release. We show that TRPC3 interacts with RACK1 via N-terminal residues Glu-232, Asp-233, Glu-240, and Glu-244. Carbachol (CCh) stimulation of HEK293 cells expressing wild type TRPC3 induced recruitment of a ternary TRPC3-RACK1-IP(3)R complex and increased surface expression of TRPC3 and Ca(2+) entry. Mutation of the putative RACK1 binding sequence in TRPC3 disrupted plasma membrane localization of the channel. CCh-stimulated recruitment of TRPC3-RACK1-IP(3)R complex as well as increased surface expression of TRPC3 and receptor-operated Ca(2+) entry were also attenuated. Importantly, CCh-induced intracellular Ca(2+) release was significantly reduced as was RACK1-IP(3)R association without any change in thapsigargin-stimulated Ca(2+) release and entry. Knockdown of endogenous TRPC3 also decreased RACK1-IP(3)R association and decreased CCh-stimulated Ca(2+) entry. Furthermore, an oscillatory pattern of CCh-stimulated intracellular Ca(2+) release was seen in these cells compared with the more sustained pattern seen in control cells. Similar oscillatory pattern of Ca(2+) release was seen after CCh stimulation of cells expressing the TRPC3 mutant. Together these data demonstrate a novel role for TRPC3 in regulation of IP(3)R function. We suggest TRPC3 controls agonist-stimulated intracellular Ca(2+) release by mediating interaction between IP(3)R and RACK1. 相似文献

Store-operated calcium entry (SOCE) is a ubiquitous mechanism that is mediated by distinct SOC channels, ranging from the highly selective calcium release-activated Ca2+ (CRAC) channel in rat basophilic leukemia and other hematopoietic cells to relatively Ca2+-selective or non-selective SOC channels in other cells. Although the exact composition of these channels is not yet established, TRPC1 contributes to SOC channels and regulation of physiological function of a variety of cell types. Recently, Orai1 and STIM1 have been suggested to be sufficient for generating CRAC channels. Here we show that Orai1 and STIM1 are also required for TRPC1-SOC channels. Knockdown of TRPC1, Orai1, or STIM1 attenuated, whereas overexpression of TRPC1, but not Orai1 or STIM1, induced an increase in SOC entry and I(SOC) in human salivary gland cells. All three proteins were co-localized in the plasma membrane region of cells, and thapsigargin increased co-immunoprecipitation of TRPC1 with STIM1, and Orai1 in human salivary gland cells as well as dispersed mouse submandibular gland cells. In aggregate, the data presented here reveal that all three proteins are essential for generation of I(SOC) in these cells and that dynamic assembly of TRPC1-STIM1-Orai1 ternary complex is involved in activation of SOC channel in response to internal Ca2+ store depletion. Thus, these data suggest a common molecular basis for SOC and CRAC channels. 相似文献

The objective was to study the expression of zonula occludens-2, a tight junction protein, during preimplantation hamster embryonic development, to predict its possible localization, source, and roles in trophectoderm differentiation and blastocyst formation in this species. Comparison of zonula occludens-2 expression pattern between the hamster and mouse preimplantation embryos from the zygote up to the blastocyst stage was also an objective of this study. Zonula occludens-2 localization was noted in nuclei of blastomeres in all stages of hamster and mouse embryonic development. Compared to mice, where zonula occludens-2 was first localized in the interblastomere membrane at the morula stage, hamster embryos had membranous zonula occludens-2 localization from the 2-cell stage onwards. Based on combined results of immunolocalization study in parthenogenic embryos and ovarian and epididymal sections, and quantitative PCR done in oocytes and all developmental stages of preimplantation embryos, perhaps there was a carry-over of zonula occludens-2 proteins or mRNA from the dam to the embryo. Based on these findings, we inferred that maternally derived zonula occludens-2 was involved in nuclear functions, as well as differentiation of blastomeres and blastocoel formation during preimplantation embryonic development in the hamster. 相似文献

Stage-specific excitation of cannabinoid receptor exhibits differential effects on mouse embryonic development 总被引:6,自引:0,他引:6
Anandamide (N-arachidonoylethanolamine), an arachidonic acid derivative, is an endogenous ligand for both the brain-type (CB1-R) and spleen-type (CB2-R) cannabinoid receptors. We have previously demonstrated that preimplantation mouse embryos express mRNA for these receptors and that the periimplantation uterus contains the highest level of anandamide yet discovered in a mammalian tissue. We further demonstrated that 2-cell mouse embryos exposed to low levels of anandamide (7 nM) or other known cannabinoid agonists in culture exhibit markedly compromised embryonic development to blastocysts and that this effect is mediated by CB1-R. In contrast, the present study demonstrates that blastocysts exposed in culture to the same low levels of cannabinoid agonists exhibited accelerated trophoblast differentiation with respect to fibronectin-binding activity and trophoblast outgrowth. Again, these effects resulted from activation of embryonic CB1-R. There was a differential concentration-dependent effect of cannabinoids on the trophoblast, with an observed inhibition of differentiation at higher doses. These results provide evidence for the first time that cannabinoid effects are differentially executed depending on the embryonic stage and cannabinoid levels in the environment. Since uterine anandamide levels are lowest at the sites of implantation and highest at the interimplantation sites, the new findings imply that site-specific levels of anandamide and/or other endogenous ligands in the uterus may regulate implantation spatially by promoting trophoblast differentiation at the sites of blastocyst implantation. 相似文献

Zonula occludens-1 and E-cadherin are coordinately expressed in the mouse uterus with the initiation of implantation and decidualization 总被引:5,自引:0,他引:5
Two-way interactions between the blastocyst trophectoderm and the uterine luminal epithelium are essential for implantation. The key events of this process are cell-cell contact of trophectoderm cells with uterine luminal epithelial cells, controlled invasion of trophoblast cells through the luminal epithelium and the basement membrane, transformation of uterine stromal cells surrounding the blastocyst into decidual cells, and protection of the "semiallogenic" embryo from the mother's immunological responses. Because cell-cell contact between the trophectoderm epithelium and the luminal epithelium is essential for implantation, we investigated the expression of zonula occludens-1 (ZO-1) and E-cadherin, two molecules associated with epithelial cell junctions, in the mouse uterus during the periimplantation period. Preimplantation uterine epithelial cells express both ZO-1 and E-cadherin. With the initiation and progression of implantation, ZO-1 and E-cadherin are expressed in stromal cells of the primary decidual zone (PDZ). As trophoblast invasion progresses, these two molecules are expressed in stroma in advance of the invading trophoblast cells. These results suggest that expression of these adherence and tight junctions molecules in the PDZ serves to function as a permeability barrier to regulate access of immunologically competent maternal cells and/or molecules to the embryo and provide homotypic guidance of trophoblast cells in the endometrium. 相似文献

Increased vascular permeability and angiogenesis at the site of blastocyst apposition in the uterus are two hallmarks of the implantation process. The present investigation shows that although the proangiogenic vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) and its receptor, Flk-1, are primarily important for uterine vascular permeability and angiogenesis prior to and during the attachment phase of the implantation process, VEGF in complementation with the angiopoietins and their receptor, Tie-2, directs angiogenesis during decidualization following implantation. Mice with null mutation for the gene encoding cyclooxygenase-2 (COX-2), a rate-limiting enzyme in prostaglandin (PG) biosynthesis, show implantation and decidualization failure. Using reporter and mutant mice, we show here that COX-2-derived prostaglandins (PGs) are important for uterine vascular permeability and angiogenesis during implantation and decidualization, suggesting that one cause of the failure of these latter processes in Cox-2-/- mice is the deregulated vascular events in the absence of COX-2. The attenuation of uterine angiogenesis in these mice is primarily due to defective VEGF signaling and not due to the defective angiopoietin system. 相似文献

CI 628 citrate, an estrogen antagonist, was given as a single intraluminal injection (5 micrograms) on day 3 to ovariectomized, progesterone-treated hamsters. This significantly reduced embryo cleavage rate, transformation of morula into blastocyst, and completely inhibited implantation. The effects of the drug could be reversed by estradiol-17B (1 microgram) but not estradiol-17 alpha (1 microgram) injected intraluminally with CI 628 citrate. Our finding suggests a role of estrogen present in hamster preimplantation embryo in the triggering of embryonic differentiation and implantation of the blastocyst. 相似文献
