Passiflora alata in vitro organogenesis was studied based on explant type, culture medium composition, and incubation conditions. The results indicated
that the morphogenic process occurred more efficiently when hypocotyl segment-derived explants were cultured in media supplemented
with cytokinin and AgNO3 incubated under a 16-h photoperiod. The shoot bud elongation and plant development were obtained by transferring the material
to MSM culture medium supplemented with GA3 and incubated in flasks with vented lids. Histological analyses of the process revealed that the difficulties in obtaining
plants could be related to the development of protuberances and leaf primordia structures, which did not contain shoot apical
meristem. Roots developed easily by transferring elongated shoots to 1/2 MSM culture medium. Plant acclimatization occurred
successfully, and somaclonal variation was not visually detected. The efficiency of this organogenesis protocol will be evaluated
for genetic transformation of this species to obtain transgenic plants expressing genes that can influence the resistance
to Cowpea aphid borne mosaic virus. 相似文献

The effect of Dexamethasone (DEX) on cell division and macromolecular synthesis was investigated in a line (McCoy cells, A 9) of synovial fibroblast-like cells derived from human osteoarthritic joints. DEX markedly reduced the proliferation of McCoy cells in a time and dose-dependent manner. The maximal inhibition (45%) was found at 500 nM DEX 24 h after incubation and was accompanied by the appearance of giant macrophage-like cells. After DEX treatment cells showed increased content of DNA, proteins and RNA together with the reduction of [3H]-thymidine incorporation into the TCA-precipitable fraction. 相似文献

This paper studies the influence of uridine on the effects exerted by D-glucosamine in rat C6 glioma cells. 2 mM uridine increased markedly both the cytotoxic effect of the aminosugar and the inhibition of thymidine incorporation into acid-insoluble fraction. Furthermore the complete resumption of the capacity to incorporate either 3H-thymidine or 3H-mannose which was observed after the removal of the aminosugar, was impeded when the cells were treated contemporaneously with D-glucosamine and uridine. An exposure for 4 hr to 20 mM glucosamine alone enhanced about 15-fold the cellular pool of UDP-N-acetylhexosamines; the addition of 2 mM uridine intensified the expansion of this pool, which became about 35-fold the control value. The findings suggest a connection between the accumulation of UDP-N-acetylhexosamines in the cells and the appearance of D-glucosamine cytotoxicity. 相似文献

There are hundreds of proteins in saliva. Although it has long been hypothesized that these proteins modulate taste by interacting with taste receptors or taste stimuli, the functional impact of these proteins on feeding remains relatively unexplored. We have developed a new technique for saliva collection that does not interfere with daily behavioral testing and allows us to explore the relationship between feeding behavior and salivary protein expression. First, we monitored the alterations in salivary protein expression while simultaneously monitoring the animals'' feeding behavior and meal patterns on a custom control diet or on the same diet mixed with 3% tannic acid. We demonstrated that six protein bands increased in density with dietary tannic acid exposure. Several of these bands were significantly correlated with behaviors thought to represent both orosensory and postingestive signaling. In a follow-up experiment, unconditioned licking to 0.01–3% tannic acid solutions was measured during a brief-access taste test before and after exposure to the tannic acid diet. In this experiment, rats with salivary proteins upregulated found the tannin solution less aversive (i.e., licked more) than those in the control condition. These data suggest a role for salivary proteins in mediating changes in both orosensory and postingestive feedback. 相似文献

A series of 5-aminosubstituted camptothecin analogs were prepared from the corresponding 5-hydroxycamptothecin using microwave irradiation. The analogs were assayed for ability to inhibit the action of hypoxia inducible factors (HIF-1alpha and HIF-2alpha). The 5-fluoroethyl analog showed potent inhibitory activity and is now the focus of ongoing pathway analysis and potential as an antiproliferative agent. 相似文献

The male-specific region (MSY) of the Y chromosome contains genes involved mainly in male sex determination and in spermatogenesis. The majority of genes involved in male fertility are localized in multiple copies in the long arm of the Y chromosome, within specific regions defined as "ampliconic regions." It has been suggested that these genes derived from X-linked or autosomal ancestors during evolution, providing a benefit for male fertility when transposed onto the Y chromosome. So far, the autosomal origin has been demonstrated only for two MSY genes, DAZ and CDY. In the present study we report on the identification within chromosome 8q11.2 of a region homologous to the g amplicon, containing the VCY2 (approved gene symbol BPY2), TTTY4, and TTTY17 genes. A search for ancestor genes within the 8q11.2 region allowed us to identify a gene named BEYLA and to characterize the genomic organization and the expression patterns of this gene. 相似文献

When herbivores come in contact with volatile plant secondary compounds (PSC) that enter the nasal passages the only barrier between the nasal cavity and the brain is the nasal epithelium and the biotransformation enzymes present there. The expression of two biotransformation enzymes Cytochrome P450 2B (CYP2B) and glutathione-S-transferase (GST) was investigated in the nasal epithelia and livers of three populations of woodrats. One population of Neotoma albigula was fed juniper that contains volatile terpenes. Juniper caused upregulation of CYP2B and GST in the nasal epithelium and the expression of CYP2B and GST in the nasal epithelium was correlated to liver expression, showing that the nasal epithelia responds to PSC and the response is similar to the liver. Two populations of Neotoma bryanti were fed creosote that contains less volatile phenolics. The creosote naive animals upregulated CYP2B in their nasal epithelia while the creosote experienced animals upregulated GST. There was no correlation between CYP2B and GST expression in the nasal epithelia and livers of either population. The response of the nasal epithelium to PSC seems to be an evolved response that is PSC and experience dependent. 相似文献

The reaction progress variable is applied to stable isotope turnover of biological tissues. This approach has the advantage
of readily determining whether more than one isotope turnover pool is present; in addition, the normalization process inherent
to the model means that multiple experiments can be considered together although the initial and final isotope compositions
are different. Consideration of multiple isotope turnover pools allows calculation of diet histories of animals using a time
sequence of isotope measurements along with isotope turnover pools. The delayed release of blood cells from bone marrow during
a diet turnover experiment can be quantified using this approach. Turnover pools can also be corrected for increasing mass
during an experiment, such as when the animals are actively growing. Previous growth models have been for exponential growth;
the approach here can be used for several different growth models.

Colorectal cancer (CRC) is the second leading cause of cancer-related death in the United States. Nitrite in cured meats is thought to contribute to increased incidence of colon cancer. We sought to determine the effect of nitrite on human colon cancer cell lines at different stages. Our results indicate nitrite has no effect on proliferation of stage 1 SW116 colon cancer cells, while nitrite inhibits proliferation of stage 2 SW480 at 10 nM–100 μM and inhibits stage 3 HCT15 proliferation at 100 nM–1 μM, but promotes a significant increase in proliferation on stage 4 COLO205 cells at 100 μM. Furthermore, nitrite inhibited invasion into Matrigel® of stage 3 SW480 colon cancer cells in a concentration-dependent manner. However, it significantly promotes the invasion of stage 4 cells at 100 μM. Our FACS data demonstrated that nitrite decreased cell cycle progression in SW480 and HCT15 with arrested G2/M transition and delayed G1 phase entry in a concentration-dependent manner. However, 100 μM nitrite promoted cell cycle progression in COLO205 cells with increased S-phase entry. Taken together, our data indicate nitrite inhibits cancer cell progression at low concentrations and early stage but promotes cancer cell progression at higher concentrations in cells representing stage 4 colon carcinomas. 相似文献
