Phenylpropanoid and iridoid glycosides from Pedicularis lasiophrys.

Two new compounds, pedicularioside E and F, were isolated from whole plants of Pedicularis lasiophrys, along with the four known compounds, verbascoside, cistanoside C, cistanoside D and 8-epiloganin. On the basis of spectral and chemical evidence, pedicularioside E and F were identified to be 1'-O-beta-D-(3-methoxy-4-hydroxy-beta-phenyl)-ethyl-6'-O-feruloyl- alpha-L-(2-acetyl)-rhamnosyl-(1----3')-4'-acetylglucopyranoside and shanzhisin methyl ester cellobioside, respectively.     

同型半胱氨酸对血管内皮功能的影响及通心络超微粉的干预作用

目的：观察同型半胱氨酸对血管内皮功能的影响,并探讨通心络超微粉的干预作用。方法：健康雄性Wis-tar大鼠,随机分为对照组、模型组、通心络组。离体主动脉环技术检测血管内皮依赖性舒缩功能,微循环仪观察肠系膜微循环变化,放免方法检测血浆内皮素（ET）、血管紧张素Ⅱ（AngⅡ）、血栓素（TXA2）、前列环素（PGI2）的含量及血清超氧化物歧化酶（SOD）与谷胱苷肽过氧化物酶（GSH-Px）的活性、一氧化氮（NO）及丙二醛（MDA）的含量。结果：与对照组比较,模型组血管内皮依赖性舒张反应明显减弱（p〈0.01）,肠系膜毛细血管对乙酰胆碱的扩张幅度与扩张率显著下降（P〈0.05）。与模型组比较,通心络组血管舒张反应明显改善（P〈0.01）,肠系膜毛细血管对乙酰胆碱反应性升高;与对照组比较,模型组AngⅡ、ET、TXA2含量明显升高（P〈0.05,p〈0.01）,而PGI2含量明显降低（P〈0.05）,同时血清中SOD与GSH-Px活力、NO含量明显降低（P〈0.001,P〈0.05）。与模型组比较,通心络组血浆AngⅡ、ET、TXA2的含量显著降低（P〈0.01）,而PGI2的含量明显升高（P〈0.01）,同时血清中SOD活力与NO含量显著升高（P〈0.01,P〈0.05）。结论：①高同型半胱氨酸血症可使内皮依赖性血管舒缩功能减退,其机制可能与高同型半胱氨酸血症引发血管舒缩因子平衡紊乱及大量自由基的产生有关。②通心络超微粉可使同型半胱氨酸所致血管内皮依赖性舒张功能的异常明显改善,可能与其抑制自由基的过量生成及调节内皮舒缩因子的平衡有关。     

One-pot conversion of RAFT-generated multifunctional block copolymers of HPMA to doxorubicin conjugated acid- and reductant-sensitive crosslinked micelles

N-(2-Hydroxypropyl)methacrylamide (HPMA) containing polymers that are widely used as anticancer drug carriers. We have synthesized new amphiphilic block copolymers of HPMA with a functional monomer 2-(2-pyridyldisulfide)ethylmethacrylate (PDSM) via reversible addition-fragmentation chain transfer (RAFT) polymerization. In a one-pot reaction, the versatility of PDS groups on poly(PDSM)- b-poly(HPMA) was used to conjugate an anticancer drug, doxorubicin (DOX), and also simultaneously crosslink the micellar assemblies via acid-cleavable hydrazone bonds and reducible disulfide bonds. DOX-conjugated crosslinked micelles with an average diameter of approximately 60 nm were observed to be formed in aqueous medium. Disintegration of the micelles into unimers in the presence of a disulfide reducing agent confirmed the crosslinking via disulfide bonds. While the release of DOX from the crosslinked micelles at pH 5.0 was faster compared to the release at pH 7.4, a high proportion of released DOX was found to retain the original active structure. Overall results demonstrate the simplicity and the versatility of the poly(PDSM)- b-poly(HPMA) system, which are potentially important in the design of new generation of polymer therapeutics.

Base editing with high efficiency in allotetraploid oilseed rape by A3A‐PBE system

CRISPR/Cas‐base editing is an emerging technology that could convert a nucleotide to another type at the target site. In this study, A3A‐PBE system consisting of human A3A cytidine deaminase fused with a Cas9 nickase and uracil glycosylase inhibitor was established and developed in allotetraploid Brassica napus. We designed three sgRNAs to target ALS, RGA and IAA7 genes, respectively. Base‐editing efficiency was demonstrated to be more than 20% for all the three target genes. Target sequencing results revealed that the editing window ranged from C1 to C10 of the PAM sequence. Base‐edited plants of ALS conferred high herbicide resistance, while base‐edited plants of RGA or IAA7 exhibited decreased plant height. All the base editing could be genetically inherited from T₀ to T₁ generation. Several Indel mutations were confirmed at the target sites for all the three sgRNAs. Furthermore, though no C to T substitution was detected at the most potential off‐target sites, large‐scale SNP variations were determined through whole‐genome sequencing between some base‐edited and wild‐type plants. These results revealed that A3A‐PBE base‐editing system could effectively convert C to T substitution with high‐editing efficiency and broadened editing window in oilseed rape. Mutants for ALS, IAA7 and RGA genes could be potentially applied to confer herbicide resistance for weed control or with better plant architecture suitable for mechanic harvesting.     

金针菇高表达基因的密码子偏好性及特征分析

为探究金针菇的密码子偏好性,挖掘高表达基因的特征信息,以金针菇基因组及转录组数据为材料,分析金针菇的密码子偏好性及其影响因素,并对发育阶段高表达基因进行功能注释和顺式元件分析。分析表明,金针菇高表达基因表现出较强的密码子偏好性,且其偏好密码子多以胞嘧啶(C)结尾,此外在高表达基因中存在6种氨基酸的最优密码子较为保守。在进化过程中,金针菇高表达基因密码子偏好性受到自然选择压力的影响较大。功能注释分类表明,高表达基因多为核糖体通路相关的基因,与蛋白质翻译和生物合成相关。顺式元件分析表明,高表达基因启动子区域大多存在MeJA响应元件、ABA响应元件、光响应元件及MYB转录因子结合元件。研究结果可为提高金针菇异源表达效率和挖掘强启动子提供理论基础和思路。
