PAQR3 controls autophagy by integrating AMPK signaling to enhance ATG14L‐associated PI3K activity

The Beclin1–VPS34 complex is recognized as a central node in regulating autophagy via interacting with diverse molecules such as ATG14L for autophagy initiation and UVRAG for autophagosome maturation. However, the underlying molecular mechanism that coordinates the timely activation of VPS34 complex is poorly understood. Here, we identify that PAQR3 governs the preferential formation and activation of ATG14L‐linked VPS34 complex for autophagy initiation via two levels of regulation. Firstly, PAQR3 functions as a scaffold protein that facilitates the formation of ATG14L‐ but not UVRAG‐linked VPS34 complex, leading to elevated capacity of PI(3)P generation ahead of starvation signals. Secondly, AMPK phosphorylates PAQR3 at threonine 32 and switches on PI(3)P production to initiate autophagosome formation swiftly after glucose starvation. Deletion of PAQR3 leads to reduction of exercise‐induced autophagy in mice, accompanied by a certain degree of disaggregation of ATG14L‐associated VPS34 complex. Together, this study uncovers that PAQR3 can not only enhance the capacity of pro‐autophagy class III PI3K due to its scaffold function, but also integrate AMPK signal to activation of ATG14L‐linked VPS34 complex upon glucose starvation.     

唐菖蒲赤霉素受体基因克隆及表达分析

以唐菖蒲子球为材料,采用RT PCR技术,克隆了1个赤霉素（GA）受体基因,命名为GhGID1a（GenBank登录号为KU525107）。其开放阅读框为1 032 bp,编码343个氨基酸。序列比对结果表明,GhGID1a推导氨基酸序列与百子莲、油棕和海枣等植物的GID1的氨基酸序列相似性较高,分别为82%、78%和77%。50 mg/L GA₃对子球萌发具有促进作用,150 mg/L GA₃会抑制其萌发。实时荧光定量PCR结果显示,GA3处理对GhGID1a基因表达具有反馈抑制作用,GhGID1a表达量随着子球休眠解除而逐渐降低,推测唐菖蒲子球休眠解除可能与GA及其受体基因有关,GA及其受体基因GhGID1a可能参与了调控唐菖蒲的子球休眠与萌发过程。     

iQPR法处理水对SD鼠生物安全性的研究

iQPR技术处理污水是一项新型尖端的技术,此技术可以成功降低污水乃至受到污染的地下水中的各种污染指标。但是,iQPR技术处理污水尤其是地下水是否存在潜在的生物安全性问题有待于进一步研究。因此,为评估iQPR技术对生物安全性的影响,本研究首先分析了三种不同iQPR法处理水的水质成分;其次系统研究了iQPR水对SD鼠在个体水平、组织水平和病理形态学损伤的研究。研究表明:iQPR处理的水质成分较对照组普通饮用水好,在个体组织水平检测未见异常,尽管其中一组iQPR处理水造成了SD鼠的脾小体增大,但是可能的原因是水处理环节存在微生物污染现象,因此,初步认定此技术未造成SD大鼠的个体损伤。本研究为揭示iQPR处理的水对生物体的安全性评价提供一个理论依据。

Design and synthesis of novel 1-phenyl-3-(5-(pyrimidin-4-ylthio)-1,3,4-thiadiazol- 2-yl)urea derivatives with potent anti-CML activity throughout PI3K/AKT signaling pathway

In this investigation, a series of 1-phenyl-3-(5-(pyrimidin-4-ylthio)-1,3,4- thiadiazol-2-yl)urea receptor tyrosine kinase inhibitors were synthesized by a simple and efficient structure-based design. Structure-activity relationship (SAR) analysis of these compounds based on cellular assays led to the discovery of a number of compounds that showed potent activity against human chronic myeloid leukemia (CML) cell line K562, but very weak or no cellular toxicity through monitoring the growth kinetics of K562 cell during a period of 72 h using the real-time live-cell imaging. Among these compounds, 1-(5-((6-((3-morpholinopropyl) amino)pyrimidin-4-yl)thio)-1,3,4-thiadiazol-2-yl)-3-(4-(trifluoromethyl)phenyl)urea (7) exhibited the least cellular toxicity and better biological activity in cellular assays (K562, IC₅₀: 0.038 μM). Compound 7 also displayed very good induced-apoptosis effect for human CML cell line K562 and exerted its effect via a significantly reduced protein phosphorylation of PI3K/Akt signal pathway by Human phospho-kinase array analysis. In vitro results indicate that 1-phenyl-3-(5-(pyrimidin-4-ylthio)-1,3,4- thiadiazol-2-yl)urea derivatives are lead molecules for further development as treatment of chronic myeloid leukemia and cancer.     

Clopidogrel reduces lipopolysaccharide‐induced inflammation and neutrophil‐platelet aggregates in an experimental endotoxemic model

Platelet activation contributes to organs failure in inflammation and plays an important role in endotoxemia. Clopidogrel inhibits platelet aggregation and activation. However, the role of clopidogrel in modulating inflammatory progression of endotoxemia remains largely unexplored. Therefore, we investigated the role of clopidogrel on the activation of platelet and leukocytes in lipopolysaccharide (LPS)‐induced inflammation in mice. Animals were treated with clopidogrel or vehicle before LPS induction. The expression of neutrophil‐platelet aggregates and platelet activation and tissue factor was determined. Immunofluorescence was used to analyze platelet‐leukocyte interactions and tissue factor (TF) expression on leukocytes. Clopidogrel pretreatment markedly decreased lung damage, inhibited platelet‐neutrophil aggregates and TF expression. In addition, clopidogrel reduced thrombocytopenia and affected the number of circulating white blood cell in endotoxemia mice. Moreover, clopidogrel also reduced platelet shedding of CD40L and CD62P in endotoxemic mice. Taken together, clopidogrel played an important role through reducing platelet activation and inflammatory process in endotoxemia.
