Role of IP3R in LH-EGFR-induced mouse oocyte meiotic resumption

AIM: To explore the effect of inositol 1, 4, 5-trisposphate receptor (IP₃R) in luteinizing hormone-epidermal growth factor receptor (LH-EGFR)-induced oocyte meiotic resumption. METHODS: Models of mouse cumulus-oocyte complexs (COCs) culture and follicle culture in vitro were generated to study the effects of 2-aminoethyl diphenyl borate (2-APB) and heparin (IP₃R specific inhibitors) on LH/EGF-induced oocyte meiotic resumption and EGF-induced cumulus cell expansion. Real-time PCR was used to detect the mRNA expression of cumulus expansion-related factors. The changes of the intracellular calcium level were monitored using Fluo 3-AM, and the cGMP level was measured by ELISA. RESULTS: The inhibitors of IP₃R, 2-APB and heparin, dramatically reversed EGF-induced oocyte maturation (P<0.05) and decreased cGMP levels in COCs (P<0.05). In addition, 2-APB and heparin reversed EGF-induced cumulus expansion, and significantly inhibited EGF-induced cumulus expansion-related factor expression (P<0.05). The activation of IP₃R increased intracellular calcium level, and the study found that 2-APB and heparin dramatically reversed EGF-induced elevation of calcium level in cumulus cells (P<0.05). Follicular culture in vitro showed that 2-APB and heparin significantly reversed the LH-induced oocyte maturation (P<0.05). CONCLUSION: LH-EGFR signaling pathway increases calcium level in cumulus cells through IP₃R, resulting in meiotic resumption.

Balance and concentration of nitrogen and potassium affect growth and nutrient status in soilless cultivated lisianthus

Purpose: Nitrogen (N) / potassium (K) nutrient balance has been studied for some ornamental plants, however, available information is limited. Here we investigate the optimum N and K balance and concentration for lisianthus production in soilless medium.

Materials and methods: The effect of three N / K balances: 1.43, 2.14 and 4.29, prepared by varying the concentration of N and K, were evaluated in lisianthus grown in soilless medium (volcanic rock).

Results: Plants fertigated with a N / K balance of 2.14 exhibited enhanced height and stem dry weight when compared to plants fertigated with a balance of 4.29, and a higher flower buds count and total dry weight than those fertigated with a balance of 1.43 or 4.29. Plants fertigated with a balance of 2.14 exhibited increased dry weight when N was reduced from 15 to 9?meq?L^?1 and K from 7 to 4.2?meq?L^?1, suggesting that lisianthus does not require high levels of these nutrients. Although shoot N concentration was not correlated with N concentration in the nutrient solution or balance, increasing N in the shoot was associated with higher P and Mg in the plant tissues. In general, P, Ca, and Mg in plant tissues were unaffected by the external N / K balance, however, the internal P and Mg concentrations were positively correlated with shoot dry weight. Shoot K concentration significantly increased when the N / K balance decreased, which is related to the higher concentrations of external K when the balance decreased.

Conclusions: The optimum N / K balance for lisianthus was 2.14. However, there was a concentration effect, as fertigation with solutions containing a N / K balance of 2.14 and an N and K concentration of 9 and 4.2?meq?L^?1 respectively, resulted in plants with the greatest dry weight.     

Lippia alba (Verbenaceae) hydrolate as sedative of tambaqui (Colossoma macropomum) juveniles in simulated transport conditions

Lippia alba hydrolate (LAH) is produced as a secondary product in essential oil extraction. The objective of this study was to evaluate the use of LAH in a simulation of the transport of tambaqui (Colossoma macropomum) juveniles. A series of 17 hr simulations were performed using load densities of 30, 60 and 90 juveniles per L and four LAH concentrations of 0.4%, 1%, 2% and 5%, with a control of just water. Fish survival, temperature, dissolved oxygen, conductivity, pH, ammonia excretion, alkalinity water hardness and net Na⁺, K⁺, Cl^‐ fluxes, were all evaluated before and after the transport simulations. Mucous cell densities in the gills were also determined microscopically, post simulation. The results showed that addition of 5% LAH achieved better survival during the simulation than the water control. Dissolved oxygen was significantly lower with an increased load density. Also, conductivity, NH₄ excretion and net ionic fluxes (K⁺ and Cl^?) were lower with 5% LAH, although mainly where higher load densities were tested. Mucous cell density was lower in LAH concentrations of 2% and 5%, again with higher load densities. In view of these findings, it is suggested that 5% LAH is an effective sedative for use in the transport of tambaqui, mainly with high load densities. This work is the first study of LAH and highlights its potential applications in aquaculture management.     

Cu2+和Zn2+在土壤电场中的极化对黑土胶体凝聚的影响

金属离子在土壤胶体固-液界面上的行为差异引起土壤胶体絮凝过程的差异,并深刻影响土壤溶液中养分或污染物的迁移转化。为明确Cu~(2+)和Zn~(2+)两种金属离子界面行为对土壤胶体凝聚的影响,本文选取黑土胶体为研究对象,利用动态/静态光散射技术研究专性吸附离子Cu和Zn体系中不同离子浓度条件下黑土胶体的凝聚行为。结果表明:(1)Cu~(2+)和Zn~(2+)两种金属离子引发黑土胶体凝聚的机制相似,均是低浓度下的慢速凝聚和高浓度下的快速凝聚,达到快速凝聚机制后,胶体的总体平均凝聚速率受离子种类影响较小。(2)Cu~(2+)对黑土胶体聚沉能力大于Zn~(2+),Zn~(2+)的临界聚沉浓度是Cu~(2+)的3.51倍,在黑土胶体的凝聚过程中存在强烈的离子特异性效应。(3)两种离子体系中颗粒间相互作用的活化能差异随离子浓度的降低而增大。此两种离子在凝聚作用的较大差异性源于Cu~(2+)较Zn~(2+)对有机配位体有较强的亲和力,以及黑土胶体表面附近强电场对离子的强烈极化作用扩大了两种离子本身的微小差异。

Disulphide structure of high-molecular-weight (HMW-) gliadins as affected by terminators

This study aimed at elucidating SS-bonds of HMW-gliadins (HGL) from wheat with the focus on terminators of glutenin polymerisation. HGL from wheat flour extracts non-treated or treated with the S-alkylation reagent N-ethylmaleinimide (NEMI) were compared. HGL from wheat flour Akteur were isolated, hydrolysed with thermolysin and the resulting peptides pre-separated by gel permeation chromatography and analysed by liquid chromatography/mass-spectrometry using alternating electron transfer dissociation/collision-induced dissociation. Altogether, 22 and 28 SS-peptides from samples without and with NEMI treatment, respectively, were identified. Twenty-six peptides included standard SS-bonds of α- and γ-gliadins, high-molecular-weight and low-molecular-weight glutenin subunits. Eleven SS-bonds were identified for the first time. Fifteen peptides unique to HGL contained cysteine residues from gliadins with an odd number of cysteines (ω5-, α- and γ-gliadins). Thus, gliadins with an odd number of cysteines, glutathione and cysteine had acted as terminators of glutenin polymerisation. Decisive differences between samples without and with NEMI treatment were not obvious showing that the termination of polymerisation was already completed in the flour. The two HGL samples, however, were different in the majority of ten peptides that included disulphide-linked low-molecular-weight (LMW) thiols such as glutathione and cysteine with the former being enriched in the non-treated HGL-sample.

为探究短链脂肪酸(SCFAs)对奶牛瘤胃上皮细胞(BRECs)Ca~(2+)信号通路相关基因表达的影响,试验分为3个处理组,分别为野生型BRECs组,含20mmol/L SCFAs BRECs组,含20mmol/L SCFAs且通过CRISPR/Cas 9系统敲除GPR41基因的BRECs组,每个处理组3个重复,每组细胞均培养24h后,收集细胞提取总RNA,通过qRT-PCR对Ca~(2+)信号通路相关基因的mRNA表达量和细胞内Ca~(2+)浓度进行测定。结果表明,与野生型BRECs相比,添加20mmol/L SCFAs可极显著增加PLCB2的mRNA表达量(P0.01),显著增加IP3R1的mRNA表达量(P0.05),对PLCE1、PLCL1、PKCB和PKCG的mRNA表达量无显著差异(P0.05),可增加细胞内Ca~(2+)浓度但无显著差异(P0.05);敲除SCFAs的受体GPR41后,添加20 mmol/L SCFAs可显著降低IP3R1的mRNA表达量(P0.05),极显著上调PLCE1和PLCB2的mRNA表达量(P0.01),但对PLCL1、PKCB和PKCG的mRNA表达量无显著影响(P0.05),细胞内Ca~(2+)浓度有降低趋势但无显著差异(P0.05)。综上,SCFAs可以通过激活其受体GPR41来调控BRECs内Ca~(2+)信号通路中相关基因的表达和细胞内Ca~(2+)的释放。
