Proteomic Analysis Reveals that Odoroside A Triggers G2/M Arrest and Apoptosis in Colorectal Carcinoma Through ROS‐p53 Pathway

Odoroside A (OA) is an active ingredient extracted from the leaves of Nerium oleander Linn. (Apocynaceae). This study aims to examine the anticancer bioactivity of OA against CRC cells and to investigate the action mechanisms involved. As a result, OA can significantly inhibit cellular ability and induce apoptosis of CRC cells in a concentration‐dependent manner without any obvious cytotoxicity in normal colorectal epithelial cells. Then, quantitative proteomics combined with bioinformatics is adopted to investigate the alterations of proteins and signaling pathways in response to OA treatment. As suggested by the proteomic analysis, flow cytometry and Western blotting analyses validate that exposure of CRC cells to OA causes cell cycle arrest and apoptosis, accompanied with the activation of the ROS/p53 signaling pathway. This observation demonstrates that OA, as a natural product, can induce oxidative stress to suppress tumor cell growth, implicating a novel therapeutic agent against CRC without obvious side effects.     

笼养白腹锦鸡觅食活动的观察

笼养条件下白腹锦鸡（Ｃｈｒｙｓｏｌｏｐｈｕｓ ａｍｈｅｒｓｔｉａｅ）的日觅食活动呈现早（７：００－８：００）和晚（１８：００－１９：００）两个明显高峰期,不同季节和天气其觅食节律有一定的差异;在一年中９月翌年４月的觅食频次较高,这可能与鸟类补充繁殖期能量消耗、积累能量御寒和保证生殖腺发育有关;逐步回归分析结果表明：影响雄鸟觅食活动的主要因素为求偶、理羽和游走;影响雄鸟觅食的主要因素是游走、理羽和静     

杉木人工林水量平衡和蒸散的研究

 本文根据我们严密设计的小集水区径流场连续6年的水文测定数据,进行了杉木人工林水量平衡和蒸散的研究。结果表明：集水区年平均降雨量1065.5mm, 在林冠作用面降雨量的分配中,林冠截留雨量264.6mm,截留率24.8%;穿透过林冠层的雨量799.82mm,树干径流量1.08mm,分别占降雨量的75.1%和0.1%。林内降水到达林地时,在枯枝落叶层这个作用面上净降水进行再分配,其中,地表径流量9.27mm,地下径流量203.00mm,总径流系数0.199。土壤蓄水量月变化较大,但年变化很小,占降雨量的1.2%。系统水量最大的输出是蒸散,每年以气态形式返回大气的水量866.03mm,占降雨量81.3%。在蒸散的水量中,林冠截留雨量的直接物理蒸发量为264.6mm,占总蒸散量的31.6%。     

The genome of Syntrophorhabdus aromaticivorans strain UI provides new insights for syntrophic aromatic compound metabolism and electron flow

How aromatic compounds are degraded in various anaerobic ecosystems (e.g. groundwater, sediments, soils and wastewater) is currently poorly understood. Under methanogenic conditions (i.e. groundwater and wastewater treatment), syntrophic metabolizers are known to play an important role. This study explored the draft genome of Syntrophorhabdus aromaticivorans strain UI and identified the first syntrophic phenol‐degrading phenylphosphate synthase (PpsAB) and phenylphosphate carboxylase (PpcABCD) and syntrophic terephthalate‐degrading decarboxylase complexes. The strain UI genome also encodes benzoate degradation through hydration of the dienoyl‐coenzyme A intermediate as observed in Geobacter metallireducens and Syntrophus aciditrophicus. Strain UI possesses electron transfer flavoproteins, hydrogenases and formate dehydrogenases essential for syntrophic metabolism. However, the biochemical mechanisms for electron transport between these H₂/formate‐generating proteins and syntrophic substrate degradation remain unknown for many syntrophic metabolizers, including strain UI. Analysis of the strain UI genome revealed that heterodisulfide reductases (HdrABC), which are poorly understood electron transfer genes, may contribute to syntrophic H₂ and formate generation. The genome analysis further identified a putative ion‐translocating ferredoxin : NADH oxidoreductase (IfoAB) that may interact with HdrABC and dissimilatory sulfite reductase gamma subunit (DsrC) to perform novel electron transfer mechanisms associated with syntrophic metabolism.     

Breast Cancer‐Derived Exosomes Reflect the Cell‐of‐Origin Phenotype

A manner in which cells can communicate with each other is via secreted nanoparticles termed exosomes. These vesicles contain lipids, nucleic acids, and proteins, and are said to reflect the cell‐of‐origin. However, for the exosomal protein content, there is limited evidence in the literature to verify this statement. Here, proteomic assessment combined with pathway‐enrichment analysis is used to demonstrate that the protein cargo of exosomes reflects the epithelial/mesenchymal phenotype of secreting breast cancer cells. Given that epithelial‐mesenchymal plasticity is known to implicate various stages of cancer progression, the results suggest that breast cancer subtypes with distinct epithelial and mesenchymal phenotypes may be distinguished by directly assessing the protein content of exosomes. Additionally, the work is a substantial step toward verifying the statement that cell‐derived exosomes reflect the phenotype of the cells‐of‐origin.     

Primulina maciejewskii sp. nov. (Gesneriaceae) from Guangdong,China

Primulina maciejewskii F. Wen, R.L. Zhang & A.Q. Dong, a new species of Primulina (Gesneriaceae) from Guangdong, China, is described and illustrated. It is similar to P. lobulata and P. danxiaensis in leaf and flower shape, but can be distinguished by bract shape, peduncle, pedicel, and bract size, filament and anther indumentum, and number of bracts, staminodes and stigma.     

烟草对常见口腔微生物生长影响的初步研究

初步研究吸烟对人口腔内常见微生物的影响。制备并分别取不同浓度的尼古丁、烟草浸出液、烟雾提取物,选择几种口腔中常见的微生物作为指示菌,混合培养后,观察并比较其对指示菌生长的影响;并通过采集男性吸烟与不吸烟志愿者漱口水,培养后观察比较2组间细菌种类和数量的差异。高浓度的尼古丁对多数指示菌有不同程度的抑制,低浓度对细菌有一定促进作用;不同浓度的烟草浸出液对指示菌生长的影响表现也不同;各浓度的烟雾提取物对实验菌均有明显抑制作用;对志愿者漱口液中微生物的研究结果表明,吸烟一定程度上改变了口腔微生物的种类和数量。吸烟对口腔微生物生长的影响因微生物种类不同各异。
