Oxidative stress induced by beta-amyloid peptide(1-42) is involved in the altered composition of cellular membrane lipids and the decreased expression of nicotinic receptors in human SH-SY5Y neuroblastoma cells

The neurotoxic effects and influence of beta-amyloid peptide (Aβ)_1–42 on membrane lipids and nicotinic acetylcholine receptors (nAChRs) in human SH-SY5Y neuroblastoma cells were investigated in parallel. Exposure of the cultured cells to varying concentrations of Aβ_1–42 evoked a significantly decrease in cellular reduction of MTT (3-(4,5-dimethylthiazol-2-yl)-2,5,diphenyl tetrazolium bromide), together with enhanced lipid peroxidation and protein oxidation. Significant reductions in the total contents of phospholipid and unbiquinone-10, as well as in the levels of the 3 and 7 subunit proteins of nAChRs were detected in cells exposed to Aβ_1–42. In contrast, such treatment had no effect on the total cellular content of cholesterol. Among these alterations, increased lipid peroxidation and decreased levels of cellular phospholipids were most sensitive to Aβ_1–42, occurring at lower concentrations. In addition, when SH-SY5Y cells were pretreated with the antioxidant Vitamin E, prior to the addition of Aβ_1–42, these alterations in neurotoxicity, oxidative stress, composition of membrane lipids and expression of nAChRs were partially prevented. These findings suggest that stimulation of lipid peroxidation by Aβ may be involved in eliciting the alterations in membrane lipid composition and the reduced expression of nAChRs associated with the pathogenesis of AD.     

Detection of <Emphasis Type="Italic">Xanthomonas oryzae</Emphasis> pv. <Emphasis Type="Italic">oryzae</Emphasis> in seeds using a specific TaqMan probe

Xanthomonas oryzae pv. oryzae is the pathogen that causes bacterial leaf blight in rice. Bacterial leaf blight is the main cause for severe rice underproduction in many countries. However, with conventional methods it is difficult to quickly and reliably distinguish this pathogen from other closely related pathogenic bacteria, especially X. oryzae pv. oryzicola, the causal organism of bacterial leaf streak in rice. We have developed a novel and highly sensitive real-time method for the identification of this specific bacteria based on a TaqMan probe. This probe is designed to recognize the sequence of a putative siderophore receptor gene cds specific to X. oryzae pv. oryzae, and can be identified from either a bacterial culture or naturally infected rice seeds and leaves in only 2 h. The sensitivity of the method is 100 times higher than that of the current polymerase chain reaction (PCR) gel electrophoresis method for diagnosis.     

Role of the prostaglandin E2/E-prostanoid 2 receptor signalling pathway in TGFβ-induced mice mesangial cell damage

The prostaglandin E2 receptor, EP2 (E-prostanoid 2), plays an important role in mice glomerular MCs (mesangial cells) damage induced by TGFβ1 (transforming growth factor-β1); however, the molecular mechanisms for this remain unknown. The present study examined the role of the EP2 signalling pathway in TGFβ1-induced MCs proliferation, ECM (extracellular matrix) accumulation and expression of PGES (prostaglandin E₂ synthase). We generated primary mice MCs. Results showed MCs proliferation promoted by TGFβ1 were increased; however, the production of cAMP and PGE₂ (prostaglandin E₂) was decreased. EP2 deficiency in these MCs augmented FN (fibronectin), Col I (collagen type I), COX2 (cyclooxygenase-2), mPGES-1 (membrane-associated prostaglandin E1), CTGF (connective tissue growth factor) and CyclinD1 expression stimulated by TGFβ1. Silencing of EP2 also strengthened TGFβ1-induced p38MAPK (mitogen-activated protein kinase), ERK1/2 (extracellular-signal-regulated kinase 1/2) and CREB1 (cAMP responsive element-binding protein 1) phosphorylation. In contrast, Adenovirus-mediated EP2 overexpression reversed the effects of EP2-siRNA (small interfering RNA). Collectively, the investigation indicates that EP2 may block p38MAPK, ERK1/2 and CREB1 phosphorylation via activation of cAMP production and stimulation of PGE₂ through EP2 receptors which prevent TGFβ1-induced MCs damage. Our findings also suggest that pharmacological targeting of EP2 receptors may provide new inroads to antagonize the damage induced by TGFβ1.
