ABSTRACT

The aim of this study was to explore the effect of P on the physiological mechanism of Cd and As uptake and transport of wheat seedlings. Taking Bainong 207 as the test material, we investigated the effects of exogenous P supply and P deficiency treatment on the growth, root morphology, photosynthetic parameters, antioxidant system, ion content, and rhizome transfer coefficient of wheat seedlings under Cd and As stress using hydroponic experiments. The results showed that compared with that in the P deficiency treatment, the supply of exogenous P significantly increased the chlorophyll content of wheat seedlings under As stress, promoted the growth and development of roots, and increased biomass, whereas there were no significant effects on the growth of wheat seedlings under Cd stress. The contents of P and Cd in the root system under the condition of Cd stress were significantly increased by the supply of exogenous P, and the contents of P and Cd in the aboveground part were reduced. At the same time, the P and As content in the shoot and the transfer coefficient of As from the root to the shoot under As stress were significantly improved. Therefore, the effects of P on the poisoning of wheat Cd and As in this study showed obvious differences. Under As stress, exogenous P supply mainly promoted the growth of wheat seedlings by improving the transport of As from the root to the shoot and the CAT activity in the root system, reducing the poisoning of As in wheat. Under Cd stress, P and Cd showed a certain synergistic effect, and the toxic effect of Cd on wheat was aggravated to a certain extent after the supply of P.

ABSTRACT

Oral squamous cell carcinoma (OSCC) is one of the most common carcinomas of the oral cavity. However, the regulatory mechanisms on miR-32-5p remain poorly understood in OSCC. The expression of miR-32-5p, Krüppel-like factor 2 (KLF2), C-X-C motif chemokine receptor 4 (CXCR4), and epithelial-to-mesenchymal transition (EMT)-related proteins (E-cadherin, Vimentin, N-cadherin, and Snail) were evaluated were assessed using RT-qPCR and Western blot. 3-(4, 5-Dimethylthiazolyl2)-2, 5-diphenyltetrazolium bromide assay, wound healing assay, and transwell assay were employed to detect cell proliferation, migration, and invasion of OSCC cells. Finally, dual-luciferase reporter assay was performed to verify the binding relationship between KLF2 and miR-32-5p. MiR-32-5p was highly expressed while KLF2 was lowly expressed in OSCC cells, and miR-32-5p knockdown or KLF2 overexpression could markedly reduce cell proliferation, migration, invasion, and EMT of OSCC cells. What is more, KLF2 was the target of miR-32-5p, and knockdown of KLF2 abolished the inhibitory effect of miR-32-5p inhibitor on progression of OSCC. Finally, CXCR4 expression was negatively regulated by KLF2, and inhibition of CXCR4 obviously alleviated the biological effects of si-KLF2 on the progression of OSCC. MiR-32-5p could enhance cell proliferation, migration, invasion, and EMT of OSCC cells, and the discovery of miR-32-5p/KLF2/CXCR4 axis might provide potential therapeutic targets for OSCC.

ABSTRACT

OBJECTIVES: To investigate the effects of different nitrate sources on the uptake, transport, and distribution of molybdenum (Mo) between two oilseed rape (Brassica napus L.) cultivars, L0917 and ZS11. METHODS: A hydroponic culture experiment was conducted with four nitrate/ammonium (NO3-:NH4+) ratios (14:1, 9:6, 7.5:7.5, and 1:14) at a constant nitrogen concentration of 15 mmol/L. We examined Mo concentrations in roots, shoots, xylem and phloem sap, and subcellular fractions of leaves to contrast Mo uptake, transport, and subcellular distribution between ZS11 and L0917. RESULTS: Both the cultivars showed maximum biomass and Mo accumulation at the 7.5:7.5 ratio of NO3-:NH4+ while those were decreased by the 14:1 and 1:14 treatments. However, the percentages of root Mo (14.8% and 15.0% for L0917 and ZS11, respectively) were low under the 7.5:7.5 treatment, suggesting that the equal NO3-:NH4+ ratio promoted Mo transportation from root to shoot. The xylem sap Mo concentration and phloem sap Mo accumulation of L0917 were lower than those of ZS11 under the 1:14 treatment, which suggests that higher NO3-:NH4+ ratio was more beneficial for L0917. On the contrary, a lower NO3-:NH4+ ratio was more beneficial for ZS11 to transport and remobilize Mo. Furthermore, the Mo concentrations of both the cultivars' leaf organelles were increased but the Mo accumulations of the cell wall and soluble fraction were reduced significantly under the 14:1 treatment, meaning that more Mo was accumulated in organelles under the highest NO3-:NH4+ ratio. CONCLUSIONS: This investigation demonstrated that the capacities of Mo absorption, transportation and subcellular distribution play an important role in genotype-dependent differences in Mo accumulation under low or high NO3-:NH4+ ratio conditions.
