The neonicotinoid imidacloprid and the herbicide diuron are long‐lived pesticides commonly detected in European rivers. Both have lethal as well as sublethal effects on aquatic invertebrates dwelling in streambeds. Here, we performed lethality tests of imidacloprid and diuron on seven species of widespread, free‐living nematodes and the model organism Caenorhabditis elegans. Our results indicated that nematodes were relatively tolerant to both pesticides, and only two species (Diploscapter coronatus and Plectus opisthocirculus) showed mortality at high nominal concentrations of imidacloprid (119 mg/L) and diuron (33 mg/L). The changes observed in nematode community structure after imidacloprid and diuron exposure may have been related to trade‐offs between sensitivity to toxicants and changes in competitive abilities of the species. While the former can be tested using single‐species tests, we recommend that the latter be tested in further experiments using multispecies communities. Our results suggest that the presence of these pesticides could favor nematodes over other meiofaunal groups found in freshwater sediments. 相似文献

Fagaronine and nitidine are natural benzo[c] phenanthridinium alkaloids, which display antileukemic activity. Both act as topoisomerase I and topoisomerase II inhibitors. The objective of the present study was to prepare noncharged isosters of these compounds, with replacement of the aromatic A ring by a pyridine ring, present in other topoisomerase I inhibitors. Various 7,8- and 8,9-dimethoxy and metylenedioxy benzo[c][1,7] and [1,8]phenanthrolines were readily synthesized by benzyne-mediated cyclization of the corresponding substituted N-(2-halobenzyl)-5-quinolinamines or 5-isoquinolinamines. In both series, compounds bearing oxygenated substituents at positions 8 and 9 exhibited cytotoxic properties towards L1210 murine leukemia cells, which may result from their capacities to intercalate into DNA. Topoisomerase I inhibition was observed for all active compounds. 相似文献

FK-506, a widely used immunosuppressant, has caused a few clinical cases with QT prolongation and torsades de pointe at high blood concentration. The proarrhytmogenic potential of FK-506 was investigated in single rat ventricular cells using the whole cell clamp method to record action potentials (APs) and ionic currents. Fluorescence measurements of Ca2+ transients were performed with indo-1 AM using a multiphotonic microscope. FK-506 (25 micromol/l) hyperpolarized the resting membrane potential (RMP; -3 mV) and prolonged APs (AP duration at 90% repolarization increased by 21%) at 0.1 Hz. Prolongation was enhanced by threefold at 3.3 Hz, and early afterdepolarizations (EADs) occurred in 59% of cells. EADs were prevented by stronger intracellular Ca2+ buffering (EGTA: 10 vs. 0.5 mmol/l in the patch pipette) or replacement of extracellular Na+ by Li+, which abolishes Na+/Ca2+ exchange [Na+/Ca2+ exchanger current (INaCa)]. In indo-1-loaded cells, FK-506 generated doublets of Ca(2+) transients associated with increased diastolic Ca2+ in one-half of the cells. FK-506 reversibly decreased the L-type Ca2+ current (ICaL) by 25%, although high-frequency-dependent facilitation of ICaL persisted, and decreased three distinct K+ currents: delayed rectifier K+ current (IK; >80%), transient outward K+ current (<20%), and inward rectifier K+ current (IK1; >40%). A shift in the reversal potential of IK1 (-5 mV) accounted for RMP hyperpolarization. Numerical simulations, reproducing all experimental effects of FK-506, and the use of nifedipine showed that frequency-dependent facilitation of ICaL plays a role in the occurrence of EADs. In conclusion, the effects of FK-506 on the cardiac AP are more complex than previously reported and include inhibitions of IK1 and ICaL. Alterations in Ca2+ release and INaCa may contribute to FK-506-induced AP prolongation and EADs in addition to the permissive role of ICaL facilitation at high rates of stimulation. 相似文献

In angiosperms, lignin is built from two main monomers, coniferyl and sinapyl alcohol, which are incorporated respectively
as G and S units in the polymer. The last step of their synthesis has so far been considered to be performed by a family of
dimeric cinnamyl alcohol dehydrogenases (CAD2). However, previous studies on Eucalyptus gunnii xylem showed the presence of an additional, structurally unrelated, monomeric CAD form named CAD1. This form reduces coniferaldehyde
to coniferyl alcohol, but is inactive on sinapaldehyde. In this paper, we report the functional characterization of CAD1 in
tobacco (Nicotiana tabacum L.). Transgenic tobacco plants with reduced CAD1 expression were obtained through an RNAi strategy. These plants displayed normal growth and development, and detailed biochemical
studies were needed to reveal a role for CAD1. Lignin analyses showed that CAD1 down-regulation does not affect Klason lignin content, and has a moderate impact on G unit content of the non-condensed lignin
fraction. However, comparative metabolic profiling of the methanol-soluble phenolic fraction from basal xylem revealed significant
differences between CAD1 down-regulated and wild-type plants. Eight compounds were less abundant in CAD1 down-regulated lines, five of which were identified as dimers or trimers of monolignols, each containing at least one moiety
derived from coniferyl alcohol. In addition, 3-trans-caffeoyl quinic acid accumulated in the transgenic plants. Together, our results support a significant contribution of CAD1
to the synthesis of coniferyl alcohol in planta, along with the previously characterized CAD2 enzymes.

Recent studies indicate that members of the multidrug-resistance protein (MRP) family belonging to ATP binding cassette type C (ABCC) membrane proteins extrude cyclic nucleotides from various cell types. This study aimed to determine whether MRP proteins regulate cardiac cAMP homeostasis. Here, we demonstrate that MRP4 is the predominant isoform present at the plasma membrane of cardiacmyocytes and that it mediates the efflux of cAMP in these cells. MRP4-deficient mice displayed enhanced cardiac myocyte cAMP formation, contractility, and cardiac hypertrophy at 9 mo of age, an effect that was compensated transiently by increased phosphodiesterase expression at young age. These findings suggest that cAMP extrusion via MRP4 acts together with phosphodiesterases to control cAMP levels in cardiac myocytes. 相似文献

Paraconiothyrium variabile, one of the specific endophytic fungi isolated from the host plant Cephalotaxus harringtonia, possesses the faculty to inhibit the growth of common phytopathogens, thus suggesting a role in its host protection. A strong antagonism between the endophyte P. variabile and Fusarium oxysporum was observed and studied using optic and electronic microscopies. A disorganization of the mycelium of F. oxysporum was thus noticed. Interestingly, the biological effect of the main secondary metabolites isolated from P. variabile against F. oxysporum did not account for this strong antagonism. However, a metabolomic approach of pure fungal strains and confrontation zones using the data analysis tool XCMS were analyzed and pointed out a competition-induced metabolite production by the endophyte in the presence of the phytopathogen. Subsequent MS/MS fragmentations permitted to identify one of the induced metabolites as 13-oxo-9,11-octadecadienoic acid and highlighted a negative modulation of the biosynthesis of beauvericin, one of the most potent mycotoxin of F. oxysporum, during the competition with the endophyte. 相似文献

Different types of malformations are likely to affect the morphology of diatoms when exposed to particularly unstable environmental conditions, the most easily identifiable being distortion of the whole frustule. In the present study, we investigated, by means of SEM, valve abnormalities induced by high cadmium contamination (100 μg · L?1) in small pennate diatoms. Changes in the shape of Amphora pediculus (Kütz.) Grunow and anomalous sculpturing of the cell wall of many species, such as Encyonema minutum (Hilse) D. G. Mann, Mayamaea agrestris (Hust.) Lange‐Bert., Gomphonema parvulum (Kütz.) Kütz., or Eolimna minima (Grunow) Lange‐Bert., were observed, which were not, or almost not, noticeable in the LM. With consideration to current knowledge of diatom morphogenesis, metal uptake by the cell would induce, directly or indirectly, damage to many cytoplasmic components (e.g., microtubules, cytoskeleton, Golgi‐derived vesicles) involved in the precisely organized silica deposition. This study confirms that many species, whatever their size, are likely to exhibit morphological abnormalities under cadmium stress, and that this indicator may be valuable for the biomonitoring of metal contamination, even if SEM observations are not necessary for routine studies. 相似文献
