不同氮水平下盐胁迫对大麦幼苗中某些氮化物积累的影响(简报)

在土培条件下,提高氮素供应水平和NaCl处理浓度后大麦幼苗地上部和根中的全氮,蛋白质氮和游离氨基酸总量增加;蛋白质氮占全氮的比值亦因NaCl处理浓度的增大而提高。在盐胁迫下,游离脯氨酸占氨基酸总量的百分比明显增加,而谷氨酸所占比例则下降。

Fibrinogen Aα Thr312Ala Polymorphism Specifically Contributes to Chronic Thromboembolic Pulmonary Hypertension by Increasing Fibrin Resistance

Background

Polymorphisms are associated with chronic thromboembolic pulmonary hypertension (CTEPH) and pulmonary thromboembolism (PTE), but no polymorphism specific to CTEPH but not PTE has yet been reported. Fibrin resistance is associated with CTEPH, but the mechanism has not been elucidated.

Methods

Polymorphisms were analyzed in 101 CTEPH subjects, 102 PTE subjects and 108 healthy controls by Massarray or restriction fragment length polymorphism (RFLP). Plasmin-mediated cleavage of fibrin was characterized in 69 subjects (29 with CTEPH, 21 with PTE and 19 controls).

Results

Genotype frequencies and allele frequencies of fibrinogen Aα Thr312Ala were significantly higher in CTEPH subjects than in controls and PTE subjects, while there was no difference between PTE subjects and controls. The odd ratio (OR 2.037) and 95% confidence interval (95% CI, 1.262–3.289) showed that Thr312Ala polymorphism was a risk factor for CTEPH but not PTE. Fibrin from CTEPH subjects was more resistant to lysis than that from PTE subjects and controls. Fibrin resistance was significantly different between Aα Thr312Ala (A/G) genotypes within CTEPH subjects, and the fibrin with GG genotype was more resistant than that with AA and AG genotype.

Conclusions

Fibrinogen Aα Thr312Ala (A/G) polymorphism was associated with CTEPH, but not PTE, suggesting that the fibrinogen Aα Thr312Ala polymorphism may act as a potential biomarker in identifying CTEPH from PTE. GG genotype polymorphism contributes to CTEPH through increasing fibrin resistance, implying that PTE subjects with fibrinogen Aα GG genotype may need long-term anticoagulation therapy.

Chiral resolutions of (9-anthryl)methoxyacetic acid and (9-anthryl)hydroxyacetic acid by capillary electrophoresis

The resolutions of (9-anthryl)methoxyacetic acid (9AMAA) and (9-anthryl)hydroxyacetic acid (9AHAA) were performed by capillary electrophoresis using hydroxypropyl-beta-cyclodextrin (HP-beta-CD) as a chiral selector. Various factors affecting migration time and resolutions of these compounds were investigated with a run voltage of 20 kV, column temperature 20 degrees C and 20 mM Tris-H(3)PO(4) buffer (pH 6.5) containing 5 mM HP-beta-CD for 9AMAA, or 10 mM HP-beta-CD for 9AHAA, (+/-)-9AMAA and (+/-)-9AHAA were successfully separated at Rs 3.27 and 1.92, respectively.

Design, synthesis and biological evaluation of novel 4-hydroxybenzene acrylic acid derivatives

A series of 4-hydroxybenzene acrylic acid derivatives were designed and synthesized based on the ferulic acid of natural active ingredients. The tested compound 5a, 5f and 6a have significant anti-inflammatory activity with suppression rates of 45.29%, 44.75% and 24.11%, respectively, compared with that of indomethacin, and their cardiac toxicity was not observed. The structure-function relationship shows that the p-hydroxyl group on the α-position benzene ring, particularly if acetylated, contributes to the considerable anti-inflammatory activity; that the carboxyl group on the double bond, if esterified, also contributes to the anti-inflammatory activity; that the p-methylsulfonyl group on the other benzene ring, whose introduction is due to the COX-2 selectivity, also contributes to anti-inflammatory activity surprisingly.     

The dual role of phytoene synthase genes in carotenogenesis in carrot roots and leaves

Carrot (Daucus carota L.) is an important food crop and is useful for studying carotenogenesis due to the quantity and diversity of carotenoids in its roots. Phytoene synthase catalyzes the first committed step in the carotenoid biosynthesis pathway, and its overexpression is the main driving force in the orange phenotype. At present, we lack fundamental knowledge of the role of these genes and their effects on carotenoid accumulation in leaves. In the present study, three backcross inbred lines (BC2S4) with different colored roots derived from a cross between the orange inbred line (Af) and related wild species were used to investigate the role of the duplicated DcPSY genes in root carotenogenesis. Promoter analysis showed that DcPSY genes have diverged substantially in their regulatory sequences after gene duplication. Expression levels of DcPSY1 and DcPSY2 were generally positively correlated with carotenoid content during root development. In mature leaves, total carotenoid content was higher than that in the roots, DcPSY1 expression increased extremely higher than DcPSY2 expression compared with roots, and DcPSY1 was more sensitive than DcPSY2 during leaf de-etiolation under sunlight. These results suggest that DcPSY1 seems to make an important contribution to carotenoid accumulation in the leaves and is important for photosynthesis and photoprotection, but they are not the determining factors of root color. This expands our understanding of the regulation of carotenoid biosynthesis in carrot.
