The protective effects of grape seed procyanidin B2 against asporin mediates glycated low‐density lipoprotein induced‐cardiomyocyte apoptosis and fibrosis

The progression of diabetic cardiomyopathy is related to cardiomyocyte dysfunction and apoptosis. Our previous studies showed that asporin (ASPN) was significantly increased in the myocardium of db/db mice through proteomics, and grape seed procyanidin B2 (GSPB2) significantly inhibited the expression of ASPN in the heart of db/db mice. We report here that ASPN played a critical role in glycated low‐density lipoproteins (gly‐LDL) induced‐cardiomyocyte apoptosis. We found that gly‐LDL upregulated ASPN expression. ASPN increased H9C2 cardiomyocyte apoptosis with down‐regulation of Bcl‐2, upregulation of transforming growth factor‐β1, Bax, collagen III, fibronectin, and phosphorylation of smad2 and smad3. However, GSPB2 treatment reversed ASPN‐induced impairments in H9C2 cardiomyocytes. These results provide evidence for the cardioprotective action of GSPB2 against ASPN injury, and thus suggest a new target for fighting against diabetic cardiomyopathy.     

Effects of Nanoparticle Shape and Size on Optical Properties of LaB<Subscript>6</Subscript>

The optical response of lanthanum hexaboride (LaB₆) nanoparticles has been investigated by both theoretically and experimentally. The LaB₆ nanoparticles obtained by solid-state reaction could avoid serious surface oxidization and exhibit excellent optical performance. The discrete dipole approximation (DDA) has been used to investigate the optical response of LaB₆ nanoparticles with different sizes and different shapes. The calculation results coincide with the experimental results and reveal that the largest extinction peak value appears at 60 nm for cubic particles and 40 nm for spherical particles, respectively. Our calculation results show that the existence of the largest extinction peak value is not only due to the surface oxides but also relate to the particle shape of LaB₆ compound. In addition, the LaB₆ nanoparticles with cubic and spherical shapes exhibit different optical responses, and the cubic particles exhibit stronger near infrared (NIR) extinction than spherical particles. With increasing particle size, the extinction peak value of spherical particle decreases more rapidly than that of cubic ones.

龙血树叶降血糖活性多糖的纯化及结构解析

龙血树(Dracaena Vandelli ex Linnaeus)是一种热带特有的珍稀药用植物。傣族贝叶经记载龙血树叶具有和血竭相似的医疗功效,且市场反馈显示对糖尿病有一定治疗效果,但其降血糖机制尚未揭示。将柬埔寨龙血树叶在L6大鼠成肌细胞降糖活性模型指导下,经热水浸提、醇沉制备粗多糖,再经Sevag法除蛋白、A-722MP阴离子交换树脂脱色后,上DEAE-52纤维素柱层析和Sephacryl S-100HR凝胶柱分离纯化,得到单一活性组分LZS,利用紫外、红外、核磁共振波谱以及HPAEC-PAD色谱法对LZS的结构进行鉴定。活性组分LZS为7种单糖和柠檬酸组成的一种多糖衍生物,单糖组成为:果糖、葡萄糖、半乳糖、阿拉伯糖、鼠李糖、甘露糖、木糖,摩尔比为54.3∶29.5∶6.9∶6.2∶2.1∶0.7∶0.4,主要由果糖和葡萄糖聚合而成,龙血树叶多糖结构新颖,具有明显的细胞活性。实验结果初步阐明了龙血树叶降糖活性的化学本质,为龙血树叶的利用提供了科学依据。     

Functional analysis of propeptide as an intramolecular chaperone for in vivo folding of subtilisin nattokinase

Here, we show that during in vivo folding of the precursor, the propeptide of subtilisin nattokinase functions as an intramolecular chaperone (IMC) that organises the in vivo folding of the subtilisin domain. Two residues belonging to β-strands formed by conserved regions of the IMC are crucial for the folding of the subtilisin domain through direct interactions. An identical protease can fold into different conformations in vivo due to the action of a mutated IMC, resulting in different kinetic parameters. Some interfacial changes involving conserved regions, even those induced by the subtilisin domain, blocked subtilisin folding and altered its conformation. Insight into the interaction between the subtilisin and IMC domains is provided by a three-dimensional structural model.

高通量测序分析实验性脑脊髓炎肠道微生物变化及与IL-17、IFN-γ相关性

【目的】通过建立实验性脑脊髓膜炎(EAE)小鼠模型,观察小鼠肠道菌群在不同发病时间点的变化和炎症因子IL-17、IFN-γ的表达情况,探讨肠道菌群的变化在EAE发病中的免疫调节作用。【方法】将48只C57BL/6小鼠按照随机数字表法分为正常对照组、EAE模型组各24只。EAE组采用MOG35-55与完全弗氏佐剂的混合物制备模型,进行神经功能评分,记录体重变化。分别取免疫后7、14、21、30 d的小鼠粪便,对样本DNA的16S rDNA V3/V4区基因测序。ELASE法检测IL-17、IFN-γ的表达。【结果】EAE组小鼠血液中IL-17、IFN-γ的表达从第7天开始逐渐升高,21 d时达到高峰。14 d时,EAE组与正常对照组相比,物种丰度有显著性差异(P0.05)的菌种有:Alistipes、布牢特氏菌属、毛螺菌科_NK4A136_group等。30dEAE组与正常对照组相比,物种丰度有显著性差异(P0.05)的菌种有:Allobaculum、真细菌属、螺杆菌等。通过LefSe分析,在7、14、21 d中分别主要作用的微生物菌种逐渐减少,在21d时最少。Odoribacter在21d时起了主要作用。【结论】与正常对照组相比,14、21、30dEAE小鼠肠道菌种的丰度均发生了变化,产生了肠道菌群的紊乱;其中普雷沃氏菌属_NK3B31_group的丰度均较正常对照组降低,与IFN-γ呈负相关(r=–0.537,P0.01)。普雷沃氏菌属_NK3B31_group可能是导致MS脱髓鞘发生的关键菌属。EAE组各个时间点相比起主要作用的肠道菌群种类减少,多样性降低。其中,Odoribacter是在21 d高峰期起主要作用的菌种,但其作用机制需要深入研究。EAE组中炎症因子IL-17、IFN-γ表达的升高,促进了MOG35-55诱发的炎症反应。
