RESUMEN
Calcium signaling plays a critical role in response to various abiotic and biotic stresses in plants. Preliminarily evidence showed that calcium signaling perceived and transduced the harmful signaling generated from continuous cropping stress in R. glutinosa. To investigate the roles of calcium signaling in continuous cropping injury formation, the key genes involved in calcium signaling transduction were identified in R. glutinosa transcriptome through bioinformatic methods. Furthermore, the calcium ion concentration in both normal and continuous cropping R. glutinosa root cells were measured by potassium pyroantimonate precipitation and calcium fluorescence method. As a result, a set of 84 calcium signaling-related genes, including 5 CaMs, 12 CBLs, 21 CDPKs, 21 CIPKs, 16 CMLs, and 9 CRKs were captured in R. glutinosa transcriptome. The analysis of expression profile in continuous cropping compared to normal growth R. glutinosa indicated that continuous cropping stress significantly increased the expression of calcium signaling-related genes in continuous cropping R. glutinosa. At the same time, the abundance levels of 12 calcium signaling-related genes quantified by qPCR further validated the high expression of calcium signaling-related genes presented in continous cropping R. glutinosa. In addition, the continuous cropping condition significantly promoted the accumulation of intracellular calcium ions in R. glutinosa based on two methods of potassium pyroantimonate precipitation and calcium fluorescence. This study verified the possible roles of calcium signaling in the formation of continuous cropping injury on molecular and cellular level, which lays a solid foundation for illuminating formation mechanism of continuous cropping injury on molecular level.
RESUMEN
Objective To compare the proteomic spectrum of cerebrospinal fluid between patients with hypertensive cerebral hemorrhage before surgery and patients with hypertension,between patients with hypertensive cerebral hemorrhage before surgery and after surgery,between healthy controls and patients with hypertension,and find out disease-specific proteins (DSPs) closely correlated with hypertensive cerebral hemorrhage to explore their roles in hypertensive cerebral hemorrhage. Methods Sixty-nine cerebrospinal fluid samples from patients with hypertensive cerebral hemorrhage (before operation,n=24; after operation,n=20),from patients with hypertension (n=10),and from healthy controls (n=15) were detected by surface-enhanced laser desorption/ionization time-of-flight mass spectrometry (SELDI-TOF-MS).Data were analyzed by Biomark Wizard software(Ciphergen Inc.),and DSPs closely correlated with hypertensive cerebral hemorrhage were searched by protein databases.Results By comparing and analyzing the proteomic spectrum of patients from group of hypertensive cerebral hemorrhage before surgery and group of hypertension, from groups of hypertensive cerebral hemorrhage before surgery and after surgery,from group of healthy controls and group of hypertension,the candidate protein peaks were screened,and the number of them was 23,16,and 0,respectively.The 23 different protein peaks between patients with hypertensive cerebral hemorrhage before surgery and patients with hypertension were analyzed by Biomarker pattern software, showing 6 different protein peaks were important; through searching the database according to molecular weight,we noted that these protein might be brain natriuretic peptide (BNP),human neutrophil peptide alpha-defensin (HNP-2),reactive oxygen species (ROS), PCYOX, secretory carrier membrane protein 4 (SCAMP4) and interleukin-31. Conclusion Differentially expressed proteins from patients with hypertensive cerebral hemorrhage could be screened after analyzing the map of cerebrospinal fluid protein mass spectrum,and these differentially expressed proteins are expected to be the molecular markers to forecast hypertensive cerebral hemorrhage.
RESUMEN
Objective:To investigate the effects of the psychological stress on peripheral blood lymphocytes apoptosis and Bax,Bcl-2 gene expression in rats after being given different intensity of noise stress.Methods:All 24 SD rats were divided into three groups:control,high intensity of the noise stress,middle intensity of the noise stress. The apoptosis in peripheral blood lymphocytes(PBL)of rats was demonstrated with the flow cytometer to determine the percentages of apoptosis in rat PBL,and the expression changes of related Bcl-2,Bax genes were observed by us- ing immunohistochemical method.Results:1)After high intensity of the noise stress for three weeks,the apoptosis in rat PBL increased significantly compared with the control.2)After high intensity of the noise stress for three weeks, Bcl-2 expression as down-regulation in PBL,but the B ax expression remained obviously high.Conclusion:It indi- cates that apoptosis exists in the immunocytes of rats in the course of high intensity of the psychological stress and it consists with the expression of the related regulatory genes.
