Interleukin-1β inhibits AKT to down-regulate eNOS Ser1177 phosphorylation in human umbilical vein endothelial cells

AIM To investigate whether interleukin-1β （IL-1β） regulates endothelial nitric oxide synthase （eNOS） phosphorylation at Ser1177 site in human umbilical vein endothelial cells （HUVECs）, and to explore its possible mechanism. METHODS The HUVECs were randomly divided into normal control group, tumor necrosis factor-α （TNF-α） group, IL-1β group, IL-6 group, SC79 ［protein kinase B （PKB/AKT） specific agonist］ group and SC79+IL-1β group. Western blot was used to determine the protein levels of eNOS, p-eNOS-Ser1177, AKT and p-AKT-Ser473 in the HUVECs. Chemical colorimetry was used to detect the nitric oxide （NO） content in the culture medium of HUVECs. RESULTS No statistically significant difference of p-eNOS-Ser1177 level in HUVECs treated with TNF-α and IL-6 was observed as compared with normal control group （P>0.05）, while the protein level of p-eNOS-Ser1177 in the HUVECs and the content of NO in the culture medium of HUVECs decreased significantly in IL-1β group （P<0.05）, and the protein level of p-AKT-Ser473 in the HUVECs was decreased as compared with normal control group （P<0.05）. The AKT agonist SC79 blocked the down-regulation effect of IL-1β on p-eNOS-Ser1177 level in the HUVECs and NO content in the culture medium of HUVECs （P<0.05）. CONCLUSION IL-1β down-regulates the protein level of p-eNOS-Ser1177 in HUVECs and affects the activity of eNOS, which may be involved in AKT/eNOS signaling pathway.

超级杂交稻国稻1号农艺性状研究

对超级杂交稻国稻1号和杂交稻汕优63的株型特征以及农艺性状进行了比较分析,结果表明:国稻1号的单产之所以显著高于汕优63的,主要因为前者分蘖多且分蘖快,单位面积有效穗数和每穗总粒数多,而且结实率高。     

平阳霉素对盆栽小菊意大利红的诱变效应

利用1、2、4、8 mg·L-1平阳霉素(PYM)对小菊品种意大利红离体培养的叶片和茎段进行诱变处理.结果表明,PYM对叶片和茎段愈伤组织的诱导和分化具有明显的抑制作用,随着PYM质量浓度的增加,愈伤组织的诱导和分化均呈明显的下降趋势.对茎段外植体经不同质量浓度PYM处理后的M1代,进行田间主要观赏性状观察和统计分析,发现诱变后代与对照相比,平均株高、冠幅、节间长度和叶片长/宽均减小,花径增大,管状花数目和舌状花数目增加.诱变后代中还出现了叶色、叶型、花色以及花型变异的植株.随着PYM质量浓度由低到高,花型的变异率分别为0、2.5%、3.3%和1.2%,花型多为舌状花向下翻卷,或舌状花前端变尖;花色的变异率分别为0、4.9%、8.2%和1.2%,花色均往浅色方向变异.PYM最适的诱变质量浓度为2～4 mg·L-1.     

Molecular characterization of avipoxviruses circulating in Windhoek district,Namibia 2021

Samples from eleven birds (chicken, dove and peacock) with symptoms of fowlpox, caused by the avipoxvirus (APV), were collected in seven different areas of the Windhoek district, Namibia between April and October 2021. A fragment of the 4b core protein and the DNA polymerase gene of APV were amplified by PCR from the DNA of the samples and sequenced. Phylogenetic analysis revealed that the viruses present in the chickens all belonged to clade A1 while the viruses in the doves and peacock were from subclade A3.1. This is the first report of subclade A3.1 avipoxvirus in peacock. In addition, all of the samples obtained from chickens were shown by PCR to be positive for the integration of reticuloendotheliosis virus while those from the doves and peacocks were negative. This study is the first characterization of avipoxvirus in Namibia and provides additional information on the presence of avipoxvirus in southern Africa.     

Progress in Isoindolone Alkaloid Derivatives from Marine Microorganism: Pharmacology,Preparation, and Mechanism

Compound 1 (SMTP-7, also FGFC1), an isoindolone alkaloid from marine fungi Starchbotrys longispora FG216 and fungi Stachybotrys microspora IFO 30018, possessed diverse bioactivities such as thrombolysis, anti-inflammatory and anti-oxidative properties, and so on. It may be widely used for the treatment of various diseases, including cerebral infarction, stroke, ischemia/reperfusion damage, acute kidney injury, etc. Especially in cerebral infarction, compound 1 could reduce hemorrhagic transformation along with thrombolytic therapy, as the traditional therapies are accompanied with bleeding risks. In the latest studies, compound 1 selectively inhibited the growth of NSCLC cells with EGFR mutation, thus demonstrating its excellent anti-cancer activity. Herein, we summarized pharmacological activities, preparation of staplabin congeners—especially compound 1—and the mechanism of compound 1, with potential therapeutic applications.
