Highly sensitive serological approaches for Pepino mosaic virus detection / 浙江大学学报（英文版）（B辑：生物医学和生物技术）

Pepino mosaic virus (PepMV) causes severe disease in tomato and other Solanaceous crops around globe. To effectively study and manage this viral disease, researchers need new, sensitive, and high-throughput approaches for viral detection. In this study, we purified PepMV particles from the infected Nicotiana benthamiana plants and used virions to immunize BALB/c mice to prepare hybridomas secreting anti-PepMV monoclonal antibodies (mAbs). A panel of highly specific and sensitive murine mAbs (15B2, 8H6, 23D11, 20D9, 3A6, and 8E3) could be produced through cell fusion, antibody selection, and cell cloning. Using the mAbs as the detection antibodies, we established double antibody sandwich enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (DAS-ELISA), Dot-ELISA, and Tissue print-ELISA for detecting PepMV infection in tomato plants. Resulting data on sensitivity analysis assays showed that both DAS-ELISA and Dot-ELISA can efficiently monitor the virus in PepMV-infected tissue crude extracts when diluted at 1:1 310 720 and 1:20 480 (weight/volume ratio (w/v), g/mL), respectively. Among the three methods developed, the Tissue print-ELISA was found to be the most practical detection technique. Survey results from field samples by the established serological approaches were verified by reverse transcription polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR) and DNA sequencing, demonstrating all three serological methods are reliable and effective for monitoring PepMV. Anti-PepMV mAbs and the newly developed DAS-ELISA, Dot-ELISA, and Tissue print-ELISA can benefit PepMV detection and field epidemiological study, and management of this viral disease, which is already widespread in tomato plants in Yunnan Province of China.

Development of a colloidal gold-based immunochromatographic strip for rapid detection of Rice stripe virus / 浙江大学学报（英文版）（B辑：生物医学和生物技术）

Rice stripe virus (RSV) causes dramatic losses in rice production worldwide. In this study, two monoclonal antibodies (MAbs) 16E6 and 11C1 against RSV and a colloidal gold-based immunochromatographic strip were developed for specific, sensitive, and rapid detection of RSV in rice plant and planthopper samples. The MAb 16E6 was conjugated with colloidal gold and the MAb 11C1 was coated on the test line of the nitrocellulose membrane of the test strip. The specificity of the test strip was confirmed by a positive reaction to RSV-infected rice plants and small brown planthopper (SBPH), and negative reactions to five other rice viruses, healthy rice plants, four other vectors of five rice viruses, and non-viruliferous SBPH. Sensitivity analyses showed that the test strip could detect the virus in RSV-infected rice plant tissue crude extracts diluted to 1:20 480 (w/v, g/mL), and in individual viruliferous SBPH homogenate diluted to 1:2560 (individual SPBH/μL). The validity of the developed strip was further confirmed by tests using field-collected rice and SBPH samples. This newly developed test strip is a low-cost, fast, and easy-to-use tool for on-site detection of RSV infection during field epidemiological studies and paddy field surveys, and thus can benefit decision-making for RSV management in the field.

Self-protection against triptolide-induced toxicity in human hepatic cells via Nrf2-ARE-NQO1 pathway / 中国结合医学杂志

<p><b>OBJECTIVE</b>To find the signaling pathway of triptolide (TP)-induced liver injury and to reveal whether NF-E2-related factor 2 (Nrf2) plays an important role in cellular self-protection.</p><p><b>METHODS</b>The L-02 and HepG2 cells were cultured and treated with various concentrations of TP. The cell viability was observed, and the cell medium was collected for detecting the aspartate aminotransferase (ALT), alanine aminotransferase (AST), lactate dehydrogenase (LDH), superoxide dismutase (SOD) and L-glutathione production (GSH) levels. Nrf2 and its downstream target NAD(P)H: quinine oxidoreductase 1 (NQO1) and heme oxygenase-1 (HO-1) expression, the nuclear translocation of Nrf2, and the binding ability of Nrf2 and antioxidant response element (ARE) were also identified. Meanwhile, shRNA was used to silence Nrf2 in L-02 cells to find out whether Nrf2 plays a protective role.</p><p><b>RESULTS</b>The viability of the L-02 and HepG2 cells treated with TP decreased in a doseand time-dependent manner, and TP (20-80 μg/mL) markedly induced the release of ALT, AST and LDH (P<0.05 or P<0.01), reduced the levels of SOD and GSH (P<0.01), and increased the intracellular reactive oxygen species. Meanwhile, TP augmented the Nrf2 expression in L-02 and HepG2 cells (P<0.05 or P<0.01), induced Nrf2 nuclear translocation, increased the Nrf2 ARE binding activity, and increased HO-1 and NQO1 expressions. Nrf2 knockdown revealed a more severe toxic effect of TP (P<0.05 or P<0.01).</p><p><b>CONCLUSIONS</b>Human hepatic cells treated with TP induced oxidative stress, and led to cytotoxicity. Self-protection against TP-induced toxicity in human hepatic cells might be via Nrf2-ARE-NQO1 transcriptional pathway.</p>

Metabolomics analysis of Tripterygium wilfordii formulation based on theory of detoxicity compatibility / 中国中药杂志

Tripterygium wilfordii Hook. f. induced-hepatotoxicity was the main limitation for its usage in clinic. Qingluo Tongbi formulation showed obvious attenuation for hepatotoxicity in clinic and fundamental research in vivo. To explore the potential mechanism of the attenuation, we conducted a study on the plasma metabolomic profiles of T. wilfordii and Qingluo Tongbi formulation in rats by a sensitive gas chromatography-mass spectrometry (GC-MS/MS) method. In plasma samples, a total of 72 compounds were analyzed by EI source MS, and were successfully identified by matching NIST database. The semi-quantification results were then calculated by OPLS-DA model with SIMCA-P 13.0 software. The three groups were clearly distinguished in OPLS-DA score plot. In addition, the observation values of Qingluo Tongbi formulation showed the obvious trend towards the control levels, suggesting the detoxicity effect of the formulation. Variation metabolites were further analyzed by VIP and One Way ANOVAs, and the results showed a significant increase in compounds of glycogenic amino acids, such as alanine, proline, serine and glutamine after the administration of T. wilfordii, indicated that the tissue proteins were decomposed and amino acids were leakage into blood. Qingluo Tongbi formulation could reverse the amino acids into normal level. On the contrary, the levels of glucose, lactic acid and hydroxy butyrate decrease, and the formulation can relieve the disorder in the levels of lactic acid, suggesting the regulation of the energy metabolism. Additionally, the level of branched chain amino acid was decreased, suggested the toxicity was induced, but the formulation cannot increase it into the normal levels. Nevertheless, all the above results suggested that the classical Qingluo Tongbi formulation displayed the liver protection effect by adjusting the amino acid levels and regulating the energy metabolism. Qingluo Tongbi formulation was developed based on traditional Chinese medicine theory "detoxicity compatibility", and contained Panax notoginseng (Burk.) F. H. Chen to nourish blood and absorb clots. Modern pharmacology suggested that its liver protection effect was correlated with the promotion of protein synthesis. Another important herb is Rehmannia glutinosa Libosch., which can regulate the energy metabolism. Both were consistent with the metabolomic results in this study, which explained the potential mechanism of "detoxicity compatibility" theory. Therefore, the currently developed metabolomic approach and the obtained results would be highly useful for the comprehensive toxicity studies for other herbal medicines and various complex deoxicity formulations.

<p><b>OBJECTIVE</b>To study the mechanism underlying the inhibitory effect of Qingluo Tongbi Granule (, QTG) on osteoclast differentiation in rheumatoid arthritis in rats.</p><p><b>METHODS</b>Fibroblast and monocyte co-culture were used to induce osteoclast differentiation in adjuvant-induced arthritic (AIA) rats. Serum containing QTG was prepared and added to the osteoclasts, and activation of the tumor necrosis factor receptor-associated factor 6/mitogen-activated protein kinase/nuclear factor of activated T cells, cytoplasmic1 (TRAF6/MAPK/NFATc1) pathways was examined.</p><p><b>RESULTS</b>The induced osteoclasts were multinucleated and stained positive for tartrate-resistant acid phosphatase (TRAP) staining. Serum containing QTG at 14.4, 7.2 or 3.6 g/kg inhibited the activation of TRAF6, extracellular regulated protein kinase (ERK)1/2, c-Jun N-terminal kinase (JNK) and p38 and decreased the percentage of cells with nuclear NFATc1 in a dose-dependent manner, the high and middle doses exhibited clear inhibitory activity (P<0.01 and P<0.05, respectively). After the addition of MAPK inhibitors, the NFATc1 expression showed no significant difference compared with the control group (P>0.05).</p><p><b>CONCLUSIONS</b>Serum containing QTG could generally inhibit the TRAF6/MAPK pathways and possibly inhibit the NFATc1 pathway. In addition, QTG may regulate other signaling pathways that are related to osteoclast differentiation and maturation.</p>

comparisons of pharmacokinetic profile of eleven bioactive components in Haizao Yuhu decoction modified with Haizao and Gancao anti-drug pair in normal rats / 中国中药杂志

Haizao Yuhu decoction (HYD) is a formula that has been used for approximately 500 years and famous for its efficiency in treating thyroid-related diseases in traditional Chinese medicine (TCM). HYD was first presented by Chen Shi-gong in a famous surgical monograph named Waike Zhengzong during the Ming Dynasty. We conducted the research to investigate the possible pharmacokinetic profile of different prescriptions of HYD in rats, in order to reveal the interactions of Haizao and Gancao drug pair with other herbs in HYD. Liquiritin, naringin, besperidin, peimine, peiminine liquiritigenin, glycyrrhizic acid, hergapten, nobiletin, osthole, glycyrrhetinic acid in blood samples were determined by UPLC-MS/MS. The result revealed tbat Haizao could enhance the peak concentration of glycyrrhizic acid. The other herbs in HYD may promote'the absorption of flavonoids in Gancao in normal rats, but inhibit the absorption of saponins and accelerate their metabolism. Gancao and Haizao drug pair could enhance the bioavailability of hesperidin, peimine, bergapten, nobiletin and osthole and prolong the elimination of peimine and naringin.

Analysis of synonymous codon usage and evolution of begomoviruses / 浙江大学学报（英文版）（B辑：生物医学和生物技术）

Begomoviruses are single-stranded DNA viruses and cause severe diseases in major crop plants worldwide. Based on current genome sequence analyses, we found that synonymous codon usage variations in the protein-coding genes of begomoviruses are mainly influenced by mutation bias. Base composition analysis suggested that the codon usage bias of AV1 and BV1 genes is significant and their expressions are high. Fourteen codons were determined as translational optimal ones according to the comparison of codon usage patterns between highly and lowly expressed genes. Interestingly the codon usages between begomoviruses from the Old and the New Worlds are apparently different, which supports the idea that the bipartite begomoviruses of the New World might originate from bipartite ones of the Old World, whereas the latter evolve from the Old World monopartite begomoviruses.

A TOM1 homologue is required for multiplication of Tobacco mosaic virus in Nicotiana benthamiana / 浙江大学学报（英文版）（B辑：生物医学和生物技术）

The AtTOM1 gene of Arabidopsis thaliana had been shown to be essential for the efficient multiplication of Tobacco mosaic virus (TMV) in A. thaliana. In this study, we cloned an AtTOM1-like gene from Nicotiana benthamiana named as NbTOM1. Sequence alignment showed that NbTOM1 is closely related to AtTOM1 homologues of N. tabacum and Lycopersicon esculentum with 97.2% and 92.6% nucleotide sequence identities, respectively. Silencing of NbTOM1 by a modified viral satellite DNA-based vector resulted in complete inhibition of the multiplication of TMV in N. benthamiana. The result suggests that inhibition of NbTOM1 via RNA silencing is a potentially useful method for generating TMV-resistant plants.

Prospective study of liver parenchyma volume in hepatectomy of primary liver cancer / 中华外科杂志

<p><b>OBJECTIVE</b>To explore the secure resection margin (RM) of hepatectomy for primary liver cancer (PLC) with the coexistence of cirrhosis or hepatitis by studying the correlations of the resected liver parenchyma volume with postoperative liver function, complication and RM clinically.</p><p><b>METHODS</b>The volume of tumor and the surrounding liver in resected liver specimen was measured and calculated in continuous 76 PLC patients prospectively, and the total liver parenchyma volume was measured and calculated using computed tomography (CT) images in former 40 patients. Under ideal circumstances, the surrounding liver volume, which would be resected theoretically, was calculated according to various sizes of tumors and RMs. The correlations of the resected liver volume or hepatic parenchyma-resected rate (HPRR) with postoperative liver function, complication and RM were analysed.</p><p><b>RESULTS</b>The RM was (5 +/- 7) mm in 76 patients. The volume of the tumors and the surrounding liver in the specimens were (107 +/- 203) cm(3) and (153 +/- 120) cm(3), respectively. In 40 patients, the total nontumorous liver volume using CT images was (1079 +/- 179) cm(3), and HPRR was (14 +/- 9)%. There were statistically significant differences in HPRR (P < 0.05) between three groups with complication score 0, 1-2 and 3-6 points, the value of the first group were lower than that of the third group at the level P < 0.05. The significant factors affecting liver function and complication are HPRR, the size of operation, the time of hepatic portal occlusion and the resected liver volume (P < 0.05) apart from preoperative liver function.</p><p><b>CONCLUSIONS</b>When hepatectomy was performed in PLC patients with preoperative liver function of Child A grade and the coexistence of cirrhosis or hepatitis, 30% HPRR was a lower limit for greatly increasing the chance of developing serious postoperative complications, while 20% HPRR was a safe upper limit for achieves quick postoperative recovery or developing only a few mild complications. When PLC patients without macroscopic tumor thrombi or macrosatellites undergo hepatectomy, 10 mm RM is enough to ensure sufficient liver function residue and achieve complete micrometastasis clearance in liver parenchyma surrounding the lesion if the diameter of a tumor is less than 10 cm and 6 mm RM is enough to ensure sufficient liver function residue and obtain 99% micrometastasis clearance if the diameter of a tumor is greater than 10 cm, while with macroscopic tumor thrombi or macrosatellites, 20 mm RM is enough to ensure sufficient liver function residue and achieve 99% micrometastasis clearance if the diameter of a tumor is less than 6 cm.</p>

Expression of a begomoviral DNAbeta gene in transgenic Nicotiana plants induced abnormal cell division / 浙江大学学报（英文版）（B辑：生物医学和生物技术）

An increasing number of monopartite begomoviruses are being identified that a satellite molecule (DNAbeta) is required to induce typical symptoms in host plants. DNAbeta encodes a single gene (termed betaC1) encoded in the complementary-sense. We have produced transgenic Nicotiana benthamiana and N. tabacum plants expressing the betaC1 gene of a DNAbeta associated with Tomato yellow leaf curl China virus (TYLCCNV), under the control of the Cauliflower mosaic virus 35S promoter. Transgenic plants expressing betaC1 showed severe developmental abnormalities in both species. Microscopic analysis of sections of both transgenic and non-transgenic N. tabacum leaves showed abnormal outgrowths of transgenic N. tabacum to be due to disorganized cell division (hyperplasia) of spongy and palisade parenchyma. Immuno-gold labeling of sections with a polyclonal antibody against the betaC1 protein showed that the betaC1 protein accumulated in the nuclei of cells. The possible biological function of the betaC1 protein was discussed.
