1-甲基环丙烯(1-MCP)对'嘎拉'苹果贮藏期间果肉细胞结构的影响

在室温[(25±1)℃]条件下观察1-甲基环丙烯(1-MCP)影响下‘嘎拉’苹果采后果肉细胞结构变化的结果表明,随着贮藏时间的延长,未作1-MCP处理的果实果肉细胞逐渐失去张力,细胞壁皱褶,中胶层逐渐降解,继而出现胞间裂痕,细胞间隙逐渐增大,细胞壁纤维松散,细胞器逐渐空泡化等现象;1-MCP显著抑制果肉细胞的结构损伤,最终减缓果实的软化。     

松墨天牛对马尾松挥发物的触角电位和行为反应

利用触角电位和嗅觉测定技术,比较分析松墨天牛Monochamus alternatus Hope对马尾松(Pinus massoniana Lamb)健康和松材线虫危害的枝条挥发物的触角电位和行为反应特点。实验结果表明:未交配松墨天牛对健康枝条挥发物的EAG反应值大于被害枝条的,交配后天牛对被害枝条的EAG反应值明显大于健康枝条的。在“Y”型嗅觉仪中,未交配天牛对健康枝条挥发物表现为正趋性,对被害枝条挥发物表现为负趋性,而交配后天牛对被害枝条挥发物表现为正趋性,对健康枝条挥发物表现为负趋性。说明不同发育时期的松墨天牛成虫对不同生理状态的寄主具有不同的敏感性和选择性。

The green tea compound, (-)-epigallocatechin-3-gallate downregulates N-cadherin and suppresses migration of bladder carcinoma cells

Green tea has been reported as potential dietary protection against numerous cancers and has been shown to have activity in bladder tumor inhibition in different animal models. The goal of this study was to examine the effects of (-)-epigallocatechin gallate (EGCG-the major phytochemical in green tea) on growth inhibition and behavior of human bladder carcinoma cells and to identify the altered signaling pathway(s) underlying the response to EGCG exposure. EGCG inhibited the in vitro growth of invasive bladder carcinoma cells with an IC(50) range of 70-87 microM. At a concentration of 20 microM, EGCG decreased the migratory potential of bladder carcinoma cells with concomitant activation of p42/44 MAPK and STAT3 and inactivation of Akt. Using biochemical inhibitors of MAPK/ERK, and siRNA to knockdown STAT3 and Akt, inhibition of migration was recorded associated with Akt but not MAPK/ERK or STAT3 signaling in bladder cells. In addition, EGCG downregulated N-cadherin in a dose-dependent manner where reduction in N-cadherin expression paralleled declining migratory potential. Continuous feeding of EGCG to mice prior to and during the establishment of bladder carcinoma xenografts in vivo revealed >50% reduction in mean final tumor volume (P 相似文献   

A glucose kinase from Mycobacterium smegmatis

Carbon metabolism and regulation is poorly understood in mycobacteria, a genus that includes some major pathogenic species like Mycobacterium tuberculosis and Mycobacterium leprae. Here, we report the identification of a glucose kinase from Mycobacterium smegmatis. This enzyme serves in glucose metabolism and global carbon catabolite repression in the related actinomycete Streptomyces coelicolor. The gene, msmeg1356 (glkA), was found by means of in silico screening. It was shown that it occurs in the same genetic context in all so far sequenced mycobacterial species, where it is located in a putative tricistronic operon together with a glycosyl hydrolase and a putative malonyl-CoA transacylase. Heterologous expression of glkA in an Escherichia coli glucose kinase mutant led to the restoration of glucose growth, which provided in vivo evidence for glucose kinase function. GlkA(Msm) was subsequently overproduced in order to study its enzymatic features. We found that it can form a dimer and that it efficiently phosphorylates glucose at the expense of ATP. The affinity constant for glucose was with 9 mM about eight times higher and the velocity was about tenfold slower when compared to the parallel measured glucose kinase of S. coelicolor. Both enzymes showed similar substrate specificity, which consists in an ATP-dependent phosphorylation of glucose and no, or very inefficient, phosphorylation of the glucose analogues 2-deoxyglucose and methyl alpha-glucoside. Hence, our data provide a basis for studying the role of mycobacterial glucose kinase in vivo to unravel possible catalytic and regulatory functions.
