The aim of this study was to determine the first effect of lead on microbial activity in soil. The study was carried out in the soil samples from four different radish (Raphanus sativus L. var. radicula, Brassicaceae) fields along the highway in a district (Kadirli, Osmaniye) of the Eastern Mediterranean Region, Turkey. After the calculation of Pb contents, the Pb amounts of the soil samples were brought up to 50 and 100 mg Pb kg?1 by treatment with Pb(NO 3 ) 2 , and the samples for the carbon and the nitrogen mineralization were incubated under controlled conditions (28°C, constant moist). The carbon mineralization was determined by a CO 2 respiration method for 30 days. The nitrogen mineralization was observed in vitro for 6 weeks. The untreated group was statistically different from the 50 and 100 mg Pb kg?1 treatments in the aspect of the C(CO 2 ) outlet during mineralization (P ≤ 0.05), but difference between the 50 and 100 mg Pb kg?1 treatments was not significant. NH 4 -N and NO 3 -N contents of each soil were shown differences between across treatments. Based on these results, it is possible to conclude that the addition of 50 and 100 mg Pb kg?1 provided a toxic effect threshold for the microbial activity into 30 days. 相似文献

Background
Breast cancer is one of the most prevalent cancers in the world and more than one million women are diagnosed leading to 410,000 deaths every year. In our previous studies new chalcone-imidazolone conjugates were prepared and evaluated for their anticancer activity in a panel of 53 human tumor cell lines and the lead compounds identified were 6 and 8. This prompted us to investigate the mechanism of apoptotic event. 相似文献13.

Two endemic groundwater arthropod crustacean species, Crangonyx islandicus and Crymostygius thingvallensis, were recently discovered on the mid‐Atlantic volcanic island of Iceland. The extent of morphological differences from closest relatives, endemism, along with the geographic isolation of Iceland and its complete coverage by glaciers 21 000 years ago, suggests that these two species have survived glaciation periods in sub‐glacial refugia. Here we provide strong support for this hypothesis by an analysis of mitochondrial genetic variation within Crangonyx islandicus. Our results show that the species is divided into several distinct monophyletic groups that are found along the volcanic zone in Iceland, which have been separated by 0.5 to around 5 million years. The genetic divergence between groups reflects geographic distances between sampling sites, indicating that divergence occurred after the colonization of Iceland. The genetic patterns, as well as the dependency of genetic variation on distances from the tectonic plate boundary and altitude, points to recent expansion from several refugia within Iceland. This presents the first genetic evidence of multicellular organisms as complex as crustacean amphipods which have survived glaciations beneath an ice sheet. This survival may be explained by geothermal heat linked to volcanic activities, which may have maintained favourable habitats in fissures along the tectonic plate boundary in Iceland during glaciations. 相似文献

By applying a methodology, a series of benzothiazole–pyrrole based conjugates (4a–r) were synthesized and evaluated for their antiproliferative activity. Compounds such as 4a, 4c, 4e, 4g–j, 4m, 4n, 4o and 4r exhibited significant cytotoxic effect in the MCF-7 cell line. Cell cycle effects were examined for these conjugates at 2 μM as well as 4 μM concentrations and FACS analysis show an increase of G2/M phase cells with concomitant decrease of G1 phase cells thereby indicating G2/M cell cycle arrest by them. Interestingly 4o and 4r are effective in causing apoptosis in MCF-7 cells. Moreover, 4o showed down regulation of oncogenic expression of Ras and its downstream effector molecules such as MEK1, ERK1/2, p38 MAPK and VEGF. The apoptotic aspect of this conjugate is further evidenced by increased expression of caspase-9 in MCF-7 cells. Hence these small molecules have the potential to control both the cell proliferation as well as the invasion process in the highly malignant breast cancers. 相似文献

A series of new conjugates of quinazolino linked 4β-amidopodophyllotoxins 10aa–af and 10ba–bf were synthesized and evaluated for their anticancer activity against human pancreatic carcinoma (Panc-1) as well as breast cancer cell lines such as MCF-7 and MDA-MB-231 by employing MTT assay. Among these conjugates, some of them like 10bc, 10bd, 10be and 10bf exhibited high potency of cytotoxicity. Flow cytometric analysis showed that these conjugates arrested the cell cycle in the G2/M phase and caused the increase in expression of p53 and cyclin B1 protein with concomitant decrease in Cdk1 thereby suggesting the inhibitory action of these conjugates on mitosis. Interestingly, we observed a decrease in expression of proteins that control the tumor micro environment such as VEGF-A, STAT-3, ERK1/2, ERK-p, AKT-1 ser 473 phosphorylation in compounds treated breast cancer cells. Further, these effective conjugates have exhibited inhibitory action on integrin (αVβIII). Furthermore, the MCF-7 cells that were arrested and lost the proliferative capacity undergo mitochondrial mediated apoptosis by activation of caspases-9. Thus these conjugates have the potential to control breast cancer cell growth by effecting tumor angiogenesis and invasion. 相似文献

Kamal A Suresh P Janaki Ramaiah M Mallareddy A Kumar BA Raju P Vinay Gopal J Pushpavalli SN Lavanya A Sarma P Pal-Bhadra M 《Bioorganic & medicinal chemistry》2011,19(15):4589-4600
A series of new 4β-acrylamidopodophyllotoxin derivatives (13a-o) were synthesized by coupling of substituted acrylic acids (10a-l and 11m-o) to the 4β-aminopodophyllotoxin. The synthesized derivatives 13a-o were evaluated for their cytotoxicity against five human cancer cell lines (breast, oral, colon, lung and ovarian). These podophyllotoxin conjugates have shown promising activity with GI?? values ranging from <0.1 to 0.29 μM. Some of the compounds 13j, 13k and 13l that showed significant antiproliferative activity were also evaluated for related cytotoxic effects in MCF-7 cells, and compared to etoposide. These compounds (13j, 13k and 13l) showed G2/M cell cycle arrest and the apoptotic event was found to be due to both the single-strand DNA breaks as observed by comet assay as well as double-strand breaks as observed by the large accumulation of gamma H2AX foci. 相似文献

Background
Cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) biomarkers Aβ1-42, t-tau and p-tau have a characteristic pattern in Alzheimer’s Disease (AD). Their roles in HIV-associated neurocognitive disorder (HAND) remains unclear.Methods
Adults with chronic treated HIV disease were recruited (n = 43, aged 56.7 ± 7.9; 32% aged 60+; median HIV duration 20 years, >95% plasma and CSF HIV RNA <50 cp/mL, on cART for a median 24 months). All underwent standard neuropsychological testing (61% had HAND), APOE genotyping (30.9% carried APOE ε4 and 7.1% were ε4 homozygotes) and a lumbar puncture. Concentrations of Aβ1-42, t-tau and p-tau were assessed in the CSF using commercial ELISAs. Current neurocognitive status was defined using the continuous Global Deficit Score, which grades impairment in clinically relevant categories. History of HAND was recorded. Univariate correlations informed multivariate models, which were corrected for nadir CD4-T cell counts and HIV duration.Results
Carriage of APOE ε4 predicted markedly lower levels of CSF Aβ1-42 in univariate (r = -.50; p = .001) and multivariate analyses (R2 = .25; p < .0003). Greater levels of neurocognitive impairment were associated with higher CSF levels of p-tau in univariate analyses (r = .32; p = .03) and multivariate analyses (R2 = .10; p = .03). AD risk prediction cut-offs incorporating all three CSF biomarkers suggested that 12.5% of participants had a high risk for AD. Having a CSF-AD like profile was more frequent in those with current (p = .05) and past HIV-associated dementia (p = .03).Conclusions
Similarly to larger studies, APOE ε4 genotype was not directly associated with HAND, but moderated CSF levels of Aβ1-42 in a minority of participants. In the majority of participants, increased CSF p-tau levels were associated with current neurocognitive impairment. Combined CSF biomarker risk for AD in the current HIV+ sample is more than 10 times greater than in the Australian population of the same age. Larger prospective studies are warranted.19.
Distribution and conservation of mobile elements in the genus Drosophila 总被引:12,自引:1,他引:12
Essentially nothing is known of the origin, mode of transmission, and
evolution of mobile elements within the genus Drosophila. To better
understand the evolutionary history of these mobile elements, we examined
the distribution and conservation of homologues to the P, I, gypsy, copia,
and F elements in 34 Drosophila species from three subgenera. Probes
specific for each element were prepared from D. melanogaster and hybridized
to genomic DNA. Filters were washed under conditions of increasing
stringency to estimate the similarity between D. melanogaster sequences and
their homologues in other species. The I element homologues show the most
limited distribution of all elements tested, being restricted to the
melanogaster species group. The P elements are found in many members of the
subgenus Sophophora but, with the notable exception of D. nasuta, are not
found in the other two subgenera. Copia-, gypsy-, and F-element homologues
are widespread in the genus, but their similarity to the D. melanogaster
probe differs markedly between species. The distribution of copia and P
elements and the conservation of the gypsy and P elements is inconsistent
with a model that postulates a single ancient origin for each type of
element followed by mating-dependent transmission. The data can be
explained by horizontal transmission of mobile elements between
reproductively isolated species.

A new series of isoxazoles and triazoles linked 2-phenyl benzothiazole were synthesized and evaluated for their anticancer activity. These compounds have been tested for their cytotoxicity three cancer cell lines. Among the compounds tested, compound 5d showed good cytotoxicity against Colo-205 and A549 cells in comparison to standard control PMX 610(1). Further compound 5d has been tested for its apoptotic activity and its inhibitory activity against caspase and PARP proteins. Hence this compound has the potential that it can be selected for further biological studies. 相似文献
