The germline polymorphisms in signal-inducing proliferation-associated protein 1 (SIPA1) and ribosomal RNR processing 1B (RRP1B) might be involved in breast cancer metastasis. The aim of this study was to analyze how SIPA1 and RRP1B polymorphisms contribute to breast cancer phenotype, lymph node status and survival. A group of 100 young, I–II stage breast cancer patients were analyzed for SIPA1 and RRP1B polymorphisms with PCR-RFLP assay. SIPA1 c.2760G?>?A, c.545C?>?T and RRP1B c.436T?>?C polymorphisms were associated with lymph node status, survival and tumor grade, respectively. Our results suggest that SIPA1 and RRP1B germline polymorphisms are important for breast cancer prognosis. 相似文献

Bacteriophages phi6 and phi13 are related enveloped double-stranded RNA viruses that infect gram-negative Pseudomonas syringae cells. phi6 uses a pilus as a receptor, and phi13 attaches to the host lipopolysaccharide. We compared the entry-related events of these two viruses, including receptor binding, envelope fusion, peptidoglycan penetration, and passage through the plasma membrane. The infection-related events are dependent on the multiplicity of infection in the case of phi13 but not with phi6. A temporal increase of host outer membrane permeability to lipophilic ions was observed from 1.5 to 4 min postinfection in both virus infections. This enhanced permeability period coincided with the fast dilution of octadecyl rhodamine B-labeled virus-associated lipid molecules. This result is in agreement with membrane fusion, and the presence of temporal virus-derived membrane patches on the outer membrane. Similar to phi6, phi13 contains a thermosensitive lytic enzyme involved in peptidoglycan penetration. The phage entry also caused a limited depolarization of the plasma membrane. Inhibition of host respiration considerably decreased the efficiency of irreversible virus binding and membrane fusion. An active role of cell energy metabolism in restoring the infection-induced defects in the cell envelope was also observed. 相似文献

The research aim was to assess the effects of the plant hormone abscisic acid (ABA) and the growth regulator paclobutrazol (PBZ) on root system development during the in vitro culture of different birch and aspen genotypes. The studied genotypes involved two aspen (Populus tremula and Populus tremuloides × P. tremula) and two silver birch (Betula pendula) trees, with one of the birches characterized by its inability to root in vitro. For experiments, apical shoot segments were cultured on nutrient medium enriched with either ABA or PBZ. Additionally, the analysis of the endogenous hormones in shoots developed on hormone‐free medium was conducted by high‐performance liquid chromatography. The endogenous concentration of auxin indole‐3‐acetic acid was much higher in the aspens than that in the birches, while the highest concentration of ABA was found in the root‐forming birch. The culturing of this birch genotype on medium enriched with ABA resulted in an increased root length and a higher number of lateral roots without any negative effect on either shoot growth or adventitious root (AR) formation, although these two processes were largely inhibited by ABA in the aspens. Meanwhile, PBZ promoted AR formation in both aspen and birch cultures but impaired secondary root formation and shoot growth in birches. These results suggest the use of ABA for the in vitro rooting of birches and PBZ for the rooting of aspens. 相似文献

Fish protein hydrolysates (FPH) have good and well documented functional properties. Peptides obtained from various fish protein hydrolysates have also shown bioactive and antioxidative activities.The aim of this study was to evaluate how storage and preparation of cod (Gadus morhua) backbones influence the yield, functionality, bioactivity (CGRP and gastrin/CCK related molecules) and antioxidative properties of fish protein hydrolysates. A series of hydrolysis trials have been carried out using backbones from cod that were initially fresh or frozen and further hydrolysed for different times (10, 25, 45 and 60 min). Use of fresh raw material significantly increased yield of dry FPH, gave lighter and less yellow powders with better emulsification properties. Longer time of hydrolysis gave higher FPH yield, increased degree of hydrolysis and decreased water holding capacity of the powders. Among the hydrolysis times tested, 25 and 45 min hydrolysis demonstrated the best emulsification properties.FPH have potential to enhance product stability by preventing oxidative deterioration. The DPPH scavenging activity showed that antioxidative activity of hydrolysates could be due to the ability to scavenge lipid radicals. The ability of hydrolysates to inhibit iron induced lipid oxidation was not influenced by time of hydrolysis.This work also shows that it is possible to obtain bioactive molecules from cod backbones by protein hydrolysis. The content of bioactive peptides (gastrin/CCK- and CGRP-like peptides) could make the cod hydrolysates useful for incorporation in functional foods. 相似文献

A method of care for these infected nonunions is prolonged intravenous systemic antibiotic treatment and implantation of methyl
methacrylate antibiotic carrier beads to delivery high local doses of antibiotics. This method requires a second surgery to
remove the beads once the infection has cleared. Recent studies have investigated the use of biodegradable materials that
have been impregnated with antibiotics as tools to treat bone infections. In the present study, human demineralized bone matrix
(DBM) was investigated for its ability to be loaded with an antibiotic. The data presented herein demonstrates that this osteoinductive
and biodegradable material can be loaded with gentamicin and release clinically relevant levels of the drug for at least 13 days
in vitro. This study also demonstrates that the antibiotic loaded onto the graft has no adverse effects on the osteoinductive
nature of the DBM as measured in vitro and in vivo. This bone void filler may represent a promising option for local antibiotic
delivery in orthopedic applications. 相似文献

High species diversity and endemism within Madagascar is mainly the result of species radiations following colonization from nearby continents or islands. Most of the endemic taxa are thought to be descendants of a single or small number of colonizers that arrived from Africa sometime during the Cenozoic and gave rise to highly diverse groups. This pattern is largely based on vertebrates and a small number of invertebrate groups. Knowledge of the evolutionary history of aquatic beetles on Madagascar is lacking, even though this species-rich group is often a dominant part of invertebrate freshwater communities in both standing and running water. Here we focus on large bodied diving beetles of the tribes Hydaticini and Cybistrini. Our aims with this study were to answer the following questions 1) How many colonization events does the present Malagasy fauna originate from? 2) Did any colonization event lead to a species radiation? 3) Where did the colonizers come from—Africa or Asia—and has there been any out-of-Madagascar event? 4) When did these events occur and were they concentrated to any particular time interval? Our results suggest that neither in Hydaticini nor in Cybistrini was there a single case of two or more endemic species forming a monophyletic group. The biogeographical analysis indicated different colonization histories for the two tribes. Cybistrini required at least eight separate colonization events, including the non-endemic species, all comparatively recent except the only lotic (running water) living Cybister operosus with an inferred colonization at 29 Ma. In Hydaticini the Madagascan endemics were spread out across the tree, often occupying basal positions in different species groups. The biogeographical analyses therefore postulated the very bold hypothesis of a Madagascan origin at a very deep basal node within Hydaticus and multiple out-of-Madagascar dispersal events. This hypothesis needs to be tested with equally intense taxon sampling of mainland Africa as for Madagascar. 相似文献

Regulation of tetrapyrrole biosynthesis in higher plants has been attributed to negative feedback control. Two effectors of feedback inhibition have been identified, heme and the FLU protein. Inhibition by heme implicates the Fe-branch via regulation of the initial step of tetrapyrrole synthesis. In the present work a FLU-containing chloroplast membrane complex was identified, that besides FLU comprises the four enzymes catalyzing the final steps of chlorophyll synthesis. The results support the notion that FLU links chlorophyll synthesis and the target of feedback control, glutamyl-tRNA reductase, thereby allowing also the Mg-branch to control the initial step of tetrapyrrole synthesis. 相似文献

When plant cells are under environmental stress, several chemically distinct reactive oxygen species (ROS) are generated simultaneously in various intracellular compartments and these can cause oxidative damage or act as signals. The conditional flu mutant of Arabidopsis, which generates singlet oxygen in plastids during a dark-to-light transition, has allowed the biological activity of singlet oxygen to be determined, and the criteria to distinguish between cytotoxicity and signalling of this particular ROS to be defined. The genetic basis of singlet-oxygen-mediated signalling has been revealed by the mutation of two nuclear genes encoding the plastid proteins EXECUTER (EX)1 and EX2, which are sufficient to abrogate singlet-oxygen-dependent stress responses. Conversely, responses due to higher cytotoxic levels of singlet oxygen are not suppressed in the ex1/ex2 background. Whether singlet oxygen levels lower than those that trigger genetically controlled cell death activate acclimation is now under investigation. 相似文献
