降糖肽的发展现状及研究进展

糖尿病是一组以高血糖为特征的代谢性疾病,是由于胰岛素分泌缺陷或其生物功能受损,或两者兼有引起。糖尿病可能导致各种组织,特别是眼、肾、心脏、血管、神经的慢性损害、功能障碍。糖尿病主要分为Ⅰ型糖尿病和Ⅱ型糖尿病,这两类糖尿病均存在明显的遗传异质性。目前用于降低或控制血糖的药物主要有硫脉类、双肌类、苯甲酸衍生物类、糖苷酶抑制剂类和噻唑烷二酮类。研发出安全有效的降糖药物已经成为全世界关注的焦点,其中,生物活性肽是目前最广泛研究的潜在治疗剂之一,其最佳用途正在开发中。迄今为止,已经发现了许多天然肽和合成肽,其具有通过不同机制介导的优异的抗糖尿病效果。新兴技术和药物输送系统的应用进一步促进了预期目标成果的达成。临床前和临床研究中一些具有更好效力和安全性的优秀肽已经被确定。因此,对这些肽的进一步详细研究可能会筛选出临床上有用的抗糖尿病药物。

Genetic control of the opaque-2 gene and background polygenes over some kernel traits in maize (Zea mays L.)

Some kernel traits of agronomical importance in maize are affected by the opaque-2 (o2) gene and background polygenes, which express in different genetic systems such as embryo, endosperm, cytoplasm and maternal plant. A genetic model for seed quantitative traits with the o2 gene effects and polygenic effects as well as their GE interactions was used for protein content, lysine content, oil content and kernel density in maize. The results suggested that the o2 gene was involved in the traits investigated but the effects of the o2 gene were distinctive on various traits. The effects of the o2 gene were large on lysine content and protein content while minor on oil content. There was a substantially wide quantitative variation from polygenes expressing in different genetic systems for the traits evaluated. Significant GE interactions of the o2 gene and background polygenes declared that not only the main effects but also specific expressions depending on environments were responsible for variation of the traits studied. There seemed to have strong maternal heterosis and slight embryo heterosis for kernel density.     

CPU-GPU hybrid accelerating the Zuker algorithm for RNA secondary structure prediction applications

Background

Different Cupriavidus metallidurans strains isolated from metal-contaminated and other anthropogenic environments were genotypically and phenotypically compared with C. metallidurans type strain CH34. The latter is well-studied for its resistance to a wide range of metals, which is carried for a substantial part by its two megaplasmids pMOL28 and pMOL30.

Results

Comparative genomic hybridization (CGH) indicated that the extensive arsenal of determinants involved in metal resistance was well conserved among the different C. metallidurans strains. Contrary, the mobile genetic elements identified in type strain CH34 were not present in all strains but clearly showed a pattern, although, not directly related to a particular biotope nor location (geographical). One group of strains carried almost all mobile genetic elements, while these were much less abundant in the second group. This occurrence was also reflected in their ability to degrade toluene and grow autotrophically on hydrogen gas and carbon dioxide, which are two traits linked to separate genomic islands of the Tn4371-family. In addition, the clear pattern of genomic islands distribution allowed to identify new putative genomic islands on chromosome 1 and 2 of C. metallidurans CH34.

Conclusions

Metal resistance determinants are shared by all C. metallidurans strains and their occurrence is apparently irrespective of the strain's isolation type and place. Cupriavidus metallidurans strains do display substantial differences in the diversity and size of their mobile gene pool, which may be extensive in some (including the type strain) while marginal in others.

Synthesis, characterization, and antifungal activity of novel quaternary chitosan derivatives

Three novel quaternary chitosan derivatives were successfully synthesized by reaction of chloracetyl chitosan (CACS) with pyridine (PACS), 4-(5-chloro-2-hydroxybenzylideneamino)-pyridine (CHPACS), and 4-(5-bromo-2-hydroxybenzylideneamino)-pyridine (BHPACS). The chemical structure of the prepared chitosan derivatives was confirmed by Fourier transform infrared (FT-IR) and ¹³C nuclear magnetic resonance (¹³C NMR) and their antifungal activity against Cladosporium cucumerinum, Monilinia fructicola, Colletotrichum lagenarium, and Fusarium oxysporum was assessed. Comparing with the antifungal activity of chitosan, CACS, and PACS, CHPACS and BHPACS exhibited obviously better inhibitory effects, which should be related to the synergistic reaction of chitosan itself with the grafted 2-[4-(5-chloro-2-hydroxybenzylideneamino)-pyridyl]acetyl and 2-[4-(5-bromo-2-hydroxybenzylideneamino)-pyridyl]acetyl.     

LncRNA LINC00324 is upregulated in intervertebral disk degeneration and upregulates FasL in nucleus pulposus cells

Background

It has been reported that long intergenic non-protein-coding RNA 324 (LINC00324) promotes liver cancer by upregulating Fas ligand (FasL), which is a major player in intervertebral disk degeneration (IDD), indicating the involvement of LINC00324 in IDD. This study was carried out to investigate the interaction between LINC00324 and FasL in IDD.

Methods

Plasma samples were collected from both IDD (n?=?60) and healthy controls (n?=?60). The expression of LINC00324 and FasL in plasma was determined by RT-qPCR. The interactions between LINC00324 and FasL in nucleus pulposus (NP) cells were analyzed by overexpression experiments.

Results

LINC00324 and FasL were upregulated in IDD patients, and they were positively correlated. After treatment, the expression levels of FasL and LINC00324 were significantly decreased. In NP cells, overexpression of LINC00324 increased the expression of FasL at both mRNA and protein levels, while overexpression of FasL did not affect the expression of LINC00324.

Conclusion

LINC00324 may upregulate FasL in IDD to promote disease progression.
