Iron deficiency-responsive element 1 (IDE1) and IDE2 are cis-acting elements that are responsible for Fe-deficiency-inducible and root-specific expression of the barley (Hordeum vulgare L.) gene IDS2 (Fe-deficiency-specific clone no. 2). Using these cis-acting elements, we aimed to construct super-promoters that would induce prominent gene expression in the roots of Fe-deficient rice plants (Oryza sativa L.). Modules containing IDE1 and IDE2 of the IDS2 promoter were used as repeats or were linked to the Fe-deficiency-responsive promoter of barley IDS3, and were connected to known enhancer-like sequences. Five artificial promoters, as well as the native promoters of barley IDS2 or IDS3, were connected individually upstream of β-glucuronidase (GUS) and were introduced into rice. Transgenic rice plants were grown under control or Fe-deficient conditions, and GUS expression was analyzed. The artificial promoter that contained one module of IDE1 and IDE2 conferred strong Fe-deficiency-inducible GUS expression to the roots of rice plants. Each of the five artificial promoters induced a similar level of GUS expression in Fe-deficient roots, which did not exceed the GUS expression driven by the native IDS2 or IDS3 promoter. Artificial and native promoters induced GUS expression in response to Fe-deficiency in leaves, although the level of expression was lower than that in roots. Histochemical observations revealed that GUS expression driven by artificial and native promoters was spatially similar, and expression was dominant within vascular bundles and root exodermis. These findings suggest that there is coordinated expression of the genes that are involved in Fe-deficiency-induced Fe uptake in rice. 相似文献

The small molecule inhibitor, ABT-737, inhibits Bcl-2 that is overexpressed in many tumor cell lines and, in combination with an anticancer drug, can strongly enhance proapoptotic activity. In the present study, we evaluated the inhibitory activity of ABT-737 on the survival of a canine melanoma cell line (MCM-N1). MCM-N1 cell viability was decreased following 24- and 48-hr culture with ABT-737, depending on ABT-737 concentration, while cell viability was unchanged in controls. ABT-737 synergized with carboplatin to promote cell death. Notably, approximately 50% of MCM-N1 cells survived following culture with 2-4 μg/ml of carboplatin; whereas, less than 20% of MCM-N1 cells survived following culture with ABT-737 (1 mM) plus carboplatin (2-10 μg/ml). 相似文献

Barley ( Hordeum vulgare L.) nicotianamine synthase gene ( HvNAS1 ) expression in barley is strongly induced by Fe deficiency in the roots and rice ( Oryza sativa L.) nicotianamine synthase gene ( OsNAS1 ) expression in rice is induced by Fe deficiency both in the roots and in the shoots. In dicots, NAS genes are not strongly induced by Fe deficiency, and they function to maintain Fe homeostasis. Rice OsNAS1promoter::GUS or barley HvNAS1promoter::GUS was introduced into tobacco ( Nicotiana tabacum L.) and tissue specificities and systemic regulation of their expression were compared. A split-root experiment revealed that the HvNAS1 promoter exhibited functions similar to those of Fe-acquisition-related genes in tobacco roots, suggesting that this promoter responded to certain Fe-deficiency systemic signals and to the Fe concentration in the rhizosphere. The HvNAS1 promoter might harbor a type of universal system of gene expression for Fe acquisition. However, the OsNAS1 promoter did not respond to local application of Fe to the roots and induced GUS activities in mature leaves in response to Fe deficiency. This promoter might possess numerous types of cis -acting sequences that are involved in Fe metabolism. 相似文献

The aim of this study was to evaluate the effects of dietary brown rice on the growth performance, systemic oxidative status, and splenic inflammatory responses of broiler chickens under both thermo-neutral and chronic heat stress conditions. Forty 12-day-old male broiler chickens (ROSS 308) were randomly assigned to two groups and fed either a control diet (corn-based) or a brown rice-based diet. After seven days (19 days old), both groups were randomly divided into two sub-groups (n=10), one of which was exposed to heat stress (33°C for 14 days), while the other was maintained at 24°C. Heat exposure reduced the body weight gain and feed intake (p<0.01) of both groups. In terms of oxidative plasma states, heat exposure reduced the glutathione peroxidase activity and increased the ceruloplasmin content, while the 2-thiobarbituric acid reactive substance and reduced glutathione levels were not affected adversely. Heat exposure activated the immune responses, as evidenced by increased plasma immunoglobin levels, and altered splenic immune-related gene expressions including heat shock proteins, toll-like receptor 4, and interleukin-12. Under both thermo-neutral and heat stress conditions, dietary brown rice improved the growth performance, decreased the immunoglobulin levels, and down-regulated the expression of splenic immune-related genes of broilers, although their systemic oxidative status was not affected. Dietary brown rice should be considered as a valuable component of broiler chicken feeds subjected to both thermo-neutral and heat stress conditions. The positive effects of brown rice on bird performance may be associated with the modulation of the immune responses, as reflected by the decreased production of immunoglobulins and altered splenic immune-related gene expression. 相似文献

Quantitative assessment of the impacts of climate change on groundwater levels is important for sustainable groundwater use. This study examined the Tedori River alluvial fan in Ishikawa Prefecture, Japan, where paddy fields occupy 45 % of the total area. A regional groundwater flow model simulated future groundwater levels in response to 38 climate change projections generated for each of three GCMs, using three GHG emission scenarios with the ELPIS-JP datasets. The numerical groundwater flow model consisted of a 1-D unsaturated water flow model (HYDRUS-1D) for estimating groundwater recharge and a 3-D groundwater flow model (MODFLOW). Variable parameters consisted of daily air temperature, precipitation, humidity, solar radiation, and wind speed, which influence groundwater through infiltration, evapotranspiration, snowfall, and snowmelt. Groundwater levels had both decreasing and increasing trends, depending on climate change. There were more decreasing than increasing trends, and the maximum groundwater drawdown during 2010–2090 was ~1 m. Groundwater level was most sensitive to change in rate of precipitation during the non-irrigation period. Variations of relatively low-intensity precipitation days, when daily precipitation was <10 mm, had an effect on groundwater level. These results contribute to development of adaptive and sustainable groundwater managements (e.g. land use management and pumping strategies) in the future. 相似文献

The aim of this study was to investigate whether downregulation of Bcl-2 expression by small interfering RNA (siRNA) against the canine Bcl-2 gene would enhance the apoptosis and sensitivity of a canine mammary gland tumor cell line (CF33) to doxorubicin. Transfections of CF33 with siRNA were performed using cationic liposomes. Sequence-specific downregulation of Bcl-2 expression was measured by semiquantitative RT-PCR and Western blot analysis. Total viable cells were determined by MTS assay and apoptotic cell rates were determined by the immunohistochemical analysis on ssDNA. Our data showed the siRNA downregulated Bcl-2 expression which increased apotosis and also increased the sensitivity of CF33 to doxorubicin. This study indicated that downregulation of Bcl-2 expression by siRNA would be useful as a new protocol to increase the effect of doxorubicin on treatment of canine mammary gland tumors, requiring a detailed evaluation of siRNA in vivo. 相似文献
