Episomal expression of Leishmania histone H1 sense mRNAs in Leishmania major promastigotes was found previously to result in overexpression of this molecule and to reduce parasite infectivity in vitro. Herein, we evaluated the in vivo infectivity of these transfectants, in BALB/c mice, and showed that it is dramatically reduced. No lesions were observed in this group of mice and this was associated with an extremely low number of parasites both in the footpad and in the draining lymph nodes. Interestingly, the transfectants-reduced infectivity was associated with a delay in their cell-cycle progression and differentiation to axenic amastigotes, assessed in vitro. Therefore, the dramatic reduction in their infectivity may be attributed to the above-mentioned phenotypic modifications. As the metazoan linker histone H1(0) homologue is known to delay cell-cycle progression in mammalian cells we investigated whether its Leishmania counterpart, which possesses homology to its C-terminal region, when expressed in mammalian cells may also affect their cell-cycle progression. It was thus shown that Leishmania histone H1 expressed in COS7 and NIH 3T3 cells, delays cell-cycle progression in these cells too. The latter strengthens the phenotype observed in Leishmania and provides evidence that critical functions of histone H1 molecules are conserved throughout evolution. 相似文献

The aim of this study was to determine the first effect of lead on microbial activity in soil. The study was carried out in the soil samples from four different radish (Raphanus sativus L. var. radicula, Brassicaceae) fields along the highway in a district (Kadirli, Osmaniye) of the Eastern Mediterranean Region, Turkey. After the calculation of Pb contents, the Pb amounts of the soil samples were brought up to 50 and 100 mg Pb kg?1 by treatment with Pb(NO 3 ) 2 , and the samples for the carbon and the nitrogen mineralization were incubated under controlled conditions (28°C, constant moist). The carbon mineralization was determined by a CO 2 respiration method for 30 days. The nitrogen mineralization was observed in vitro for 6 weeks. The untreated group was statistically different from the 50 and 100 mg Pb kg?1 treatments in the aspect of the C(CO 2 ) outlet during mineralization (P ≤ 0.05), but difference between the 50 and 100 mg Pb kg?1 treatments was not significant. NH 4 -N and NO 3 -N contents of each soil were shown differences between across treatments. Based on these results, it is possible to conclude that the addition of 50 and 100 mg Pb kg?1 provided a toxic effect threshold for the microbial activity into 30 days. 相似文献

Recent data challenged the assumption that light has little effect on retina development. Here, we report evidence that dark rearing permanently changes the synaptic input to GCs. A reduced spontaneous postsynaptic currents (SPSCs) frequency was found in retinal GCs from rats born and raised in the dark for three months. Glutamate antagonists (CNQX and AP-5) reversibly reduced SPSCs frequency in control and dark-reared (DR) retinae. The GABA antagonist picrotoxin (PTX) reduced SPSCs frequency in control retinas, but increased SPSCs frequency in DR, mainly by presynaptic action on excitatory currents. In DR animals exposed to normal cyclic light for 3 months, SPSCs frequency remained lower then in control rats and increased following PTX, suggesting that long-term dark rearing induces permanent modifications of the retinal circuitry. Our results strongly support the idea that light stimulation plays a role in establishing normal synaptic input to GCs. 相似文献

Twelve fungi namelyAlternaria alternata, Aspergillus flavus, A niger, A ochraceus, Actinomucor repens, Capnodoium spp., Curvularia lunata, Fusarium
pallidoroseum, F solani, F verticillioides, Penicillium citrinum and Rhizopus stolonifer were recorded from samples ofAegle marmelos, Aesculus indica, Buchanania lanzan andPinus gerardiana. In case ofPrunus amygdalus only Rstolonifer was recorded. A significant variation in pattern of mycoflora incidence was observed in terms of source and season. Fungal
infestation in most of the substrates was found to be highest during monsoon. Aflatoxins were the most common mycotoxins elaborated
by different isolates ofA flavus obtained fromA marmelos, B lanzan andP gerardiana. The amount of aflatoxins produced by the toxigenic isolates ofA flavus was in the range of traces to 0.9–26.0 μg/ml inA marmelos, 0.8–17.5 μg/ml inP gerardiana and 0.65–13.2 μg/ml inB lanzan. The percentage toxigenicity was comparatively lower in the isolates of other mycotoxigenic fungi. Aflatoxins were detected
almost in all the samples analyzed for mycotoxin contamination. However, traces of zearalenone were detected inA marmelos. The concentration of aflatoxin B1 was in the range of 0.13–0.75 μg/g inA marmelos, 0.09–0.60 μg/g inP gerardiana and 0.01–0.20 ug/g inB lanzan. Mycotoxins were not detected inAesculus indica andPrunus amygdalus. 相似文献

P2X7-type purinergic receptors are distributed throughout the nervous system where they contribute to physiological and pathological functions. In the retina, this receptor is found in both inner and outer cells including microglia modulating signaling and health of retinal cells. It is involved in retinal neurodegenerative disorders such as retinitis pigmentosa and age-related macular degeneration (AMD). Experimental studies demonstrated that saffron protects photoreceptors from light-induced damage preserving both retinal morphology and visual function and improves retinal flicker sensitivity in AMD patients. To evaluate a possible interaction between saffron and P2X7 receptors (P2X7Rs), different cellular models and experimental approaches were used. We found that saffron positively influences the viability of mouse primary retinal cells and photoreceptor-derived 661W cells exposed to ATP, and reduced the ATP-induced intracellular calcium increase in 661W cells. Similar results were obtained on HEK cells transfected with recombinant rat P2X7R but not on cells transfected with rat P2X2R. Finally, patch-clamp experiments showed that saffron inhibited cationic currents in HEK-P2X7R cells. These results point out a novel mechanism through which saffron may exert its protective role in neurodegeneration and support the idea that P2X7-mediated calcium signaling may be a crucial therapeutic target in the treatment of neurodegenerative diseases. 相似文献

We have compared the effect of two distinct Ih inhibitors on the temporal properties of the ERG response that, as previously shown, correlates well with the HCN activation in rods. The present results confirm the notion that cilobradine is more effective than zatebradine in inducing bradycardia. Importantly, the doses of cilobradine that reduce the heart rate to values comparable to, or lower than, those obtained with higher doses of zatebradine have little effect on the frequency response of the ERG. While more potent than zatebradine in its bradycardic action, cilobradine appears comparatively less effective on the visual response. A possible explanation is that the affinity of cilobradine for the HCN channels in the heart is higher than that for the HCN channels of retinal neurons. 相似文献
