Inhibition of histone deacetylases by trichostatin A (TSA) has pleiotropic effects on gene expression. We demonstrated that at low dose (0.1 microg) TSA increased the eNOS mRNA levels, which was followed by a time- and dose-dependent down-regulation. Cycloheximide, a protein synthesis inhibitor, completely abolished TSA-induced decrease in eNOS expression, indicating that new protein synthesis is required for the inhibiting effect. Mevastatin--an inhibitor HMG-CoA reductase and geranylgeranylation reaction dose-dependently antagonized TSA-induced reduction. This mevastatin-mediated antagonism was completely abolished by geranylgeranylpyrophosphate, suggesting that geranylgeranyl modification is needed to activate the eNOS mRNA destabilizing factor--a mechanism responsible for statin-mediated eNOS upregulation. 相似文献

The composition of microbial biofilms on silicone rubber facial prostheses was investigated and compared with the microbial flora on healthy and prosthesis-covered skin. Scanning electron microscopy showed the presence of mixed bacterial and yeast biofilms on and deterioration of the surface of the prostheses. Microbial culturing confirmed the presence of yeasts and bacteria. Microbial colonization was significantly increased on prosthesis-covered skin compared to healthy skin. Candida spp. were exclusively isolated from prosthesis-covered skin and from prostheses. Biofilms from prostheses showed the least diverse band-profile in denaturing gradient gel electrophoresis (DGGE) whereas prosthesis-covered skin showed the most diverse band-profile. Bacterial diversity exceeded yeast diversity in all samples. It is concluded that occlusion of the skin by prostheses creates a favorable niche for opportunistic pathogens such as Candida spp. and Staphylococcus aureus. Biofilms on healthy skin, skin underneath the prosthesis and on the prosthesis had a comparable composition, but the numbers present differed according to the microorganism. 相似文献

A gram-positive bacterium with antagonistic activity towards soilborne fungal pathogens has been isolated from the mycorrhizosphere of Sorghum bicolor inoculated with Glomus mosseae. It has been identified as Paenibacillus sp. strain B2 based on its analytical profile index and on 16S ribosomal DNA analysis. Besides having antagonistic activity, this bacterium stimulates mycorrhization. 相似文献

Infection of Dictyostelium discoideum with Legionella pneumophila resulted in a large number of differentially regulated genes among them three core autophagy genes, ATG8, ATG9 and ATG16. Macroautophagy contributes to many physiological and pathological processes and might also constitute an important mechanism in cell‐autonomous immunity. For further studies we selected the highly conserved ATG9. In colocalization studies with GFP‐tagged ATG9 and different organelle marker proteins we neither observed colocalization with mitochondria, the ER nor lysosomes. However, there was partial colocalization with the Golgi apparatus and many ATG9‐GFP‐containing vesicles localized along microtubules and accumulated around the microtubule organizing centre. ATG9‐deficient cells had pleiotropic defects. In addition to growth defects they displayed severe developmental defects, consistent with the known role of autophagy in Dictyostelium development. Unexpectedly, the ATG9 mutant also had a strong phagocytosis defect that was particularly apparent when infecting the cells with L. pneumophila. However, those Legionellae that entered the host could multiply better in mutant than in wild‐type cells, because of a less efficient clearance in the early and a more efficient replication in the late phase of infection. We conclude that ATG9 and hence macroautophagy has a protective role during pathogen infection. 相似文献

A successful protocol for high frequency callus induction and plant regeneration from Anthurium andreanum Linden ex André cv. Tropical half-anthers is described. Different variables using Winarto and Teixeira and Murashige and
Skoog basal media supplemented with several plant growth regulators [2,4-dichlorophenoxy acetic acid (0.1–1.0 mg/l), α-naphthalene
acetic acid (0.01–0.2 mg/l), thidiazuron (0.5–2.0 mg/l), 6-benzylaminopurine (0.5–1.0 mg/l), and kinetin (0.5–1.0 mg/l)] were
tested for their ability to induce high frequency callusing in half-anthers, indirect regeneration and rooting of shoots.
Basal medium, as well as the combination and concentration of hormones applied, had a significant effect on callus formation,
shoot regeneration and adventitious root formation. Winarto and Teixeira-1, an original basal medium containing 0.01 mg/l
α-naphthalene acetic acid, 0.5 mg/l thidiazuron and 1.0 mg/l 6-benzylaminopurine was suitable for callus formation while an
improved basal medium i.e., New Winarto–Teixeira-3 supplemented with 0.25 mg/l 2,4-dichlorophenoxy acetic acid, 0.02 mg/l
α-naphthalene acetic acid, 1.5 mg/l thidiazuron and 0.75 mg/l 6-benzylaminopurine enhanced callus formation. High shoot regeneration
and multiplication was also possible on New Winarto–Teixeira-3. Shoots formed a strong adventitious root system on New Winarto–Teixeira-3
containing 0.2 mg/l α-naphthalene acetic acid and 1.0 mg/l kinetin. Plantlets that varied in size and performance were successfully
acclimatized and adapted to ex vitro conditions. Cytological analysis of 180 acclimatized-plantlets ex vitro revealed that
34 were haploid (n = 14–18), 15 aneuploid (n = 20–26), 126 diploid (n = 28–34) and 5 triploid (n = 45–57). The potential use of this protocol for developing half-anther culture of other Anthurium species or cultivars is discussed. 相似文献

A microspore culture protocol for Brassica oleracea of Indonesian origin (cv. ‘Kemeh’) has been successfully established. A high number of embryos formed with high microspore
density i.e. 15 × 104 cells/ml. Embryo formation was improved by using flower buds (4.5–4.6 mm in length) as explants, a temperature treatment
at 30.5°C for 48 h and then transfer to 25°C continuously until embryos formed. A total of 295 embryos were obtained from
189 buds, 30% of which were abnormal (i.e. with an abnormal cotyledon or lacking hypocotyls). All normal embryos that grew
and survived, 165 in total, were successfully transferred to soil and grew well in plastic bags (15 cm in diameter) containing
a mixture of burned-rice husk and organic manure (1:1, v/v). 相似文献

Dengue has become a major global health threat, especially in tropical and subtropical regions. The development of antiviral agent
targeting viral replication is really needed at this time. NS5 methyltransferase presents as a novel antiviral target. This enzyme
plays an important role in the methylation of 5''-cap mRNA. Inhibition of the NS5 methyltransferase could inhibit dengue virus
replication. In this research, two sites of NS5 methyltransferase (S-Adenosyl methionine/SAM binding site and RNA-cap site) were
used as targets for inhibition. As much as 300 commercial cyclic peptides were screened to these target sites by means of molecular
docking. Analysis of ligand-enzyme binding free energy and pharmacological prediction revealed two best ligands, namely
[Tyr123] Prepro Endothelin (110-130), amide, human and Urotensin II, human. According to molecular dynamic simulation, both
ligands maintain a stable complex conformation between enzyme and ligand at temperature 310 K and 312 K. Hence, Urotensin II,
human is more reactive at 312 K than at 310 K. However, both ligands can be used as potential inhibitor candidates against NS5
methyltransferase of dengue virus with Urotensin II, human exposes more promising activity at 312 K. 相似文献

Whilst the potent effects of NGF and laminin on developing neurons are well documented, relatively little is known about the effects of, or altered availability of or altered responsiveness to, these substances on the growth of adult neurons. We have therefore examined this question using explant cultures of sympathetic neurons from the superior cervical ganglion (SCG) of mature and aged rats. Explants were grown on substrata containing different doses of laminin, either with or without added NGF in culture medium containing FCS. Individually, laminin and NGF had relatively small effects on neurite outgrowth and length, which tended to be reduced in old neurons. In contrast, laminin in the presence of exogenous NGF exerted a powerful effect on nerve growth which was substantially greater than the sum of the effects of the individual factors. This synergy was evident in all experimental groups and was greatest in old explants at high doses of laminin, where growth was comparable to that of mature neurons. The dose-response curve of old neurons to laminin in the presence of added NGF indicated reduced responsiveness. These results suggest that variations in the availability of laminin and/or exogenous NGF, together with altered patterns of neuronal responsiveness, may contribute to impaired neuronal plasticity in old age. 相似文献

Different protocols based on Illumina high-throughput DNA sequencing and denaturing gradient gel electrophoresis (DGGE)-cloning were developed and applied for investigating hot spring related samples. The study was focused on three target genes: archaeal and bacterial 16S rRNA and mcrA of methanogenic microflora. Shorter read lengths of the currently most popular technology of sequencing by Illumina do not allow analysis of the complete 16S rRNA region, or of longer gene fragments, as was the case of Sanger sequencing. Here, we demonstrate that there is no need for special indexed or tailed primer sets dedicated to short variable regions of 16S rRNA since the presented approach allows the analysis of complete bacterial 16S rRNA amplicons (V1–V9) and longer archaeal 16S rRNA and mcrA sequences. Sample augmented with transposon is represented by a set of approximately 300 bp long fragments that can be easily sequenced by Illumina MiSeq. Furthermore, a low proportion of chimeric sequences was observed. DGGE-cloning based strategies were performed combining semi-nested PCR, DGGE and clone library construction. Comparing both investigation methods, a certain degree of complementarity was observed confirming that the DGGE-cloning approach is not obsolete. Novel protocols were created for several types of laboratories, utilizing the traditional DGGE technique or using the most modern Illumina sequencing. 相似文献

Vibratome sections obtained from perfusion-fixed rat brains were stained by means of silver impregnation and physical development according to Gallyas (1970). Small pieces of the cerebral cortex were postfixed with buffered osmium tetroxide solution and processed for electron microscopy to examine the localization of the silver deposit at the cellular level. The cell surfaces of pericytes and smooth muscle cells were completely outlined by silver grains. Endothelial cells and perivascular astrocytes, however, showed an asymmetric distribution of the silver deposit, i.e., the deposit was restricted to the abluminal endothelial surface and to the astrocytic membrane adjacent to the vessel wall, respectively. The method allowed a clear-cut distinction between perikarya of endothelial cells and pericytes as well as glial cells in perivascular position, even at the light-microscopic level. 相似文献
