This study aimed to explore whether TGF-β1 is involved in UⅡ-induced phenotypic differentiation of adventitial fibroblasts from rat aorta.Methods Adventitial fibroblasts were prepared by the explant culture method. TGF-β1 protein secretion from the cells was determined by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay （ELISA）. The mRNA and protein expression of α-smooth nuscle actin （α-SM-actin）, the marker of phenotypic differentiation from fibroblasts to myofibroblasts, were determined using real-time quantitative RT-PCR （real-time RT-PCR） and Western blotting, respectively.Results UⅡ stimulated the secretion of TGF-β1 in cultured adventitial fibroblasts in a time-dependent manner. The secretion reached a peak at 24 hours, was higher by 69.8% （P ＜0.01）, than the control group. This effect was also concentration dependent. Maximal stimulation was reached at 10-8 mol/L of UⅡ （P ＜0.01）, which was increased by 59.9%,compared with in the control group （P ＜0.01）. The secretion of TGF-β1 induced by UⅡ was significantly blocked by SB-710411 （10-7 mol/L）, a specific antagonist of UⅡ receptor. In addition, both UⅡ （10-8 mol/L） and TGF-β1 significantly stimulated α-SM-actin mRNA and protein expression. Moreover, the α-SM-actin induced by UⅡ was inhibited by the specific neutralizing antibody （20 μg/ml） of TGF-β1, while the α-SM-actin expression stimulated by TGF-β1 （20 ng/ml）was inhibited by SB-710411 （10-7 mol/L）, the UⅡ receptor antagonist.Conclusion This study suggests that UⅡ could induce TGF-β1 secretion in adventitial fibroblasts via UT activation, and TGF-β1 might be involved in phenotypic differentiation from adventitial fibroblasts into myofibroblasts induced by UⅡ, and TGF-β1 signaling might be one of the important pathways by which UⅡ is involved in vascular fibrosis.展开更多

However, i...Transradial access (TRA) has emerged as the preferred vascular access route forcoronary angiography and percutaneous coronary interventions due to itssuperior safety profile compared to transfemoral access. However, its widespreadadoption raises concerns regarding structural alterations in the radial artery,which may impact long-term vascular health and future procedural feasibility.TRA is associated with histopathologic changes in the arterial wall, such asintimal injury and hyperplasia, medial remodeling and adventitial inflammation,collectively contributing to radial artery remodeling. Moreover, TRA can inducechanges in radial artery lumen diameter driven by an inflammatory response dueto arterial puncture and mechanical friction during the procedure. Nonetheless, amore clinically significant consequence is radial artery occlusion, which is influencedby various procedural and patient-related factors. Strategies to minimizeremodeling include meticulous pre-procedural ultrasound assessment to ensureappropriate sheath-to-artery size matching, periprocedural pharmacologicalinterventions and implementation of patent hemostasis techniques. This reviewsynthesizes current knowledge regarding the mechanisms, clinical implications,and preventive strategies related to radial artery remodeling following TRA. Further research is needed toelucidate the long-term consequences of radial artery remodeling and to refine preventive strategies for preservingradial artery patency and its suitability for future interventions.展开更多

In this study, we will propose to analyze the effect of a long-term of glucotoxicity in vivo in Psammomys obesus by addition of sucrose to 30% for 11 months and in vitro study of adventitial fibroblasts in the presence of D-glucose 0.6% for 7 days. Materials and methods: Evaluation of plasma biochemical parameters was carried out at the initial time and at the end of experiment. At autopsy, a morphological study of the aorta was performed after fixation in aqueous Bouin and staining with Masson’s trichrome. The experimental glucotoxicity is induced by incubation of fibroblasts in DMEM enriched with D-glucose at 0.6% for 7 days. The impact of glucotoxicity is assessed in the intracellular compartments through dosage of total nitrite and malondialdehyde, a product of lipid peroxidation, and thanks to a morphological assay after fixation of cells with aqueous bouin and blood staining with May Grünwald Giemsa. The evaluation of cell proliferation is accomplished by cell counting. Collagens I and III of the extracellular compartment are characterized by SDS-PAGE. Results: Animals subjected to sucrose showed hyperglycemia associated with hyperinsulinemia, dyslipidemia, hyperproteinemia, increased CPK and VLDL-LDL and decreased HDL. Histology of aortas revealed endothelial cells hypertrophy, severe disorganization of intima and media. In the presence of glucose, the proliferation of fibroblasts increases very significantly (P = 2.34 × 10-5), the rate of malonaldehyde, nitrite and total density of chains α2 (I) and α1 (I + III) extra-cellular collagens I and III increased significantly. After staining, the cells showed hypertrophy, vacuolation of cytoplasm and chromatin condensation with nuclear fragmentation, indicative of apoptosis. Conclusion: The glucotoxicity induced in vivo and in vitro is responsible for major structural and metabolic alterations leading to the acceleration of the atherosclerotic process.展开更多

Lots of studies have been performed in dicots while relative less in monocots. Using two kinds of PAT inhibitors, 2, 3, 5-triiodobenzoic acid (TIBA) and 9-hydroxyfluorene-9-carboxylic acid (HFCA), it was shown that PAT is important for rice (Oryza sativa L. cv. Zhonghua 11) root development, including elongation of the primary roots, initiation and elongation of lateral roots, and formation of adventitious roots. Inhibition of PAT resulted in the shortened primary roots, less and shortened lateral and adventitious roots. Exogenously supplemented NAA can partially rescue the formation of adventitious roots but not lateral roots, while low concentration of NAA (0.1 mumol/L) could not rescue either of them, suggesting the possible different mechanisms of lateral and adventitious root initiations. Treatment of 30 mumol/L TIBA did not completely inhibit the initiation of lateral roots, and survival capacities of which were demonstrated through cross section experiments revealing the presence of primordial of lateral roots at different stages. Further studies through localized application of PAT inhibitors indicated that auxin flow, transported from coleoptiles to the base, is not only responsible for the auxin contents in stem nodes but also critical for initiation and elongation of adventitious roots.展开更多

Current knowledge regarding the molecular mechanism underlying AR development is still limited. We report here the isolation of four rice （Oryza sativa L.） mutants, from different genetic backgrounds, all of which were defective in AR formation. These mutants exhibited reduced numbers of lateral roots （LRs） and partial loss of gravitropism. The mutants also displayed enhanced sensitivity to N-l-naphthylphthalamic acid, an inhibitor of polar auxin transport （PAT）, indicating that the mutations affected auxin transport. Positional cloning using one of the four mutants revealed that it was caused by loss-of-function of a guanine nucleotide exchange factor for ADP- ribosylation factor （OsGNOM1）. RT-PCR and analysis of promoter：：GUS transgenic plants showed that OsGNOM1 is expressed in AR primordia, vascular tissues, LRs, root tips, leaves, anthers and lemma veins, with a distribution pattern similar to that of auxin. In addition, the expressions of OsPIN2, OsPIN5b and OsPIN9 were altered in the mutants. Taken together, these findings indicate that OsGNOM1 affects the formation of ARs through regulating PAT.展开更多

Time of explant collection is crucial for the initial success of aseptic culture. Explants collected in early March gave the highest percentage of explant survival (64.5%) and shoot-forming percentage (52.3%). Thidiazuron (TDZ) concentration significantly influenced shoot formation; 4 mu M TDZ was optimum, with 4.8 shoots produced per explant with a mean length of 7.1 cm after 120 days of culture. Regenerated shoots rooted for 60 days in basic medium with 1 mu M NAA were ready for growth in pots. This is the first report on plantlet regeneration in vitro from mature trees of P. massoniana that provides a reliable method for propagating selected elites.展开更多

文摘Background Urotensin Ⅱ （UⅡ） is a new vasoconstrictive peptide that may activate the adventitial fibroblasts.Transforming growth factor-β1 （TGF-β1） is an important factor that could induce the phenotypical transdifferentiation of adventitial fibroblasts. This study aimed to explore whether TGF-β1 is involved in UⅡ-induced phenotypic differentiation of adventitial fibroblasts from rat aorta.Methods Adventitial fibroblasts were prepared by the explant culture method. TGF-β1 protein secretion from the cells was determined by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay （ELISA）. The mRNA and protein expression of α-smooth nuscle actin （α-SM-actin）, the marker of phenotypic differentiation from fibroblasts to myofibroblasts, were determined using real-time quantitative RT-PCR （real-time RT-PCR） and Western blotting, respectively.Results UⅡ stimulated the secretion of TGF-β1 in cultured adventitial fibroblasts in a time-dependent manner. The secretion reached a peak at 24 hours, was higher by 69.8% （P ＜0.01）, than the control group. This effect was also concentration dependent. Maximal stimulation was reached at 10-8 mol/L of UⅡ （P ＜0.01）, which was increased by 59.9%,compared with in the control group （P ＜0.01）. The secretion of TGF-β1 induced by UⅡ was significantly blocked by SB-710411 （10-7 mol/L）, a specific antagonist of UⅡ receptor. In addition, both UⅡ （10-8 mol/L） and TGF-β1 significantly stimulated α-SM-actin mRNA and protein expression. Moreover, the α-SM-actin induced by UⅡ was inhibited by the specific neutralizing antibody （20 μg/ml） of TGF-β1, while the α-SM-actin expression stimulated by TGF-β1 （20 ng/ml）was inhibited by SB-710411 （10-7 mol/L）, the UⅡ receptor antagonist.Conclusion This study suggests that UⅡ could induce TGF-β1 secretion in adventitial fibroblasts via UT activation, and TGF-β1 might be involved in phenotypic differentiation from adventitial fibroblasts into myofibroblasts induced by UⅡ, and TGF-β1 signaling might be one of the important pathways by which UⅡ is involved in vascular fibrosis.

文摘Background Urotensin Ⅱ （Ull）,a potent vasoconstrictive peptide,is able to stimulate phenotypic differentiation of adventitial fibroblasts.This study aimed to determine the effect of UII on monocyte chemoattractant protein-1 （MCP1） expression in rat aortic adventitial fibroblasts,so as to explore possible mechanisms in the development of vascular inflammation.Methods Growth-arrested adventitial fibroblasts were incubated in serum-free medium with UII （1010-10-7 mol/L） and inhibitors of signal transduction pathways for 1 to 24 hours.MCP-1 mRNA and protein expression and secretion were determined by RT-PCR,Western blotting analysis and enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay （ELISA）,respectively.Results UII dose-and time-dependently promoted MCP-1 mRNA and protein expression and secretion in cells,with maximal effect at 10-8 mol/L at 3 hours for mRNA expression,24 hours for protein expression in the cells,and 12 hours for protein secretion from the cells.Furthermore,the UII effects were significantly inhibited by treatment with its receptor antagonist SB710411,Rho kinase inhibitor Y27632,protein kinase C （PKC） inhibitor H7,mitogen-activated protein kinase inhibitor PD98059,calcineurin inhibitor cyclosporine A,and the Ca2＋channel blocker nicardipine.Conclusion UII may stimulate MCP-1 expression in rat aortic adventitial fibroblasts through its receptor and Rho kinase,PKC,mitogen-activated protein kinase,calcineurin and Ca2＋ channel signal transduction,thus contributing to adventitial inflammation.
文摘Cystic adventitial disease （CAD） is a rare condition characterized by cyst!c lesions of the non-axial blood vessels adjacent to joints;j the majority of cysts are in the lower limb, with popliteal artery predominance. Here, we report a case of cystic adventitial disease in a 47-year-old man who was misdiagnosed and performed percutaneous transluminal angioplasty （PTA） in other hospital. He was eventually treated successfully with incision and evacuation of the popliteal cyst and ligation of communicating channels to the knee joint and remains asymptomatic 1 year later.
文摘Transradial access (TRA) has emerged as the preferred vascular access route forcoronary angiography and percutaneous coronary interventions due to itssuperior safety profile compared to transfemoral access. However, its widespreadadoption raises concerns regarding structural alterations in the radial artery,which may impact long-term vascular health and future procedural feasibility.TRA is associated with histopathologic changes in the arterial wall, such asintimal injury and hyperplasia, medial remodeling and adventitial inflammation,collectively contributing to radial artery remodeling. Moreover, TRA can inducechanges in radial artery lumen diameter driven by an inflammatory response dueto arterial puncture and mechanical friction during the procedure. Nonetheless, amore clinically significant consequence is radial artery occlusion, which is influencedby various procedural and patient-related factors. Strategies to minimizeremodeling include meticulous pre-procedural ultrasound assessment to ensureappropriate sheath-to-artery size matching, periprocedural pharmacologicalinterventions and implementation of patent hemostasis techniques. This reviewsynthesizes current knowledge regarding the mechanisms, clinical implications,and preventive strategies related to radial artery remodeling following TRA. Further research is needed toelucidate the long-term consequences of radial artery remodeling and to refine preventive strategies for preservingradial artery patency and its suitability for future interventions.

文摘Although class A auxin response factors(ARFs)are known to regulate adventitious root(AR)development through the canonical SCFTIR1-Aux/IAA-ARF signaling pathway,the regulatory role of class B ARFs in AR development remains largely unclear.Therefore,this research focused on the role of class B ARF transcription factors in peach(Prunus persica‘Shengli')adventitious root formation.Here,we report the role of a class B ARF gene Pp ARF4 in adventitious root formation in peach.Comparative transcriptome and q RT-PCR analyses showed that the transcription of Pp ARF4 was significantly up-regulated in auxin-treated stem explants.Y2H assay showed that Pp ARF4 had no interaction with Pp IAAs(AUXIN/INDOLE ACETIC ACIDs).Pp ARF4 could bind the promoters of lateral root development gene Pp LBD16 and auxin transport gene Pp PIN1 to activate their transcription.Ectopic overexpression of Pp ARF4 and Pp LBD16 in Arabidopsis promoted AR development.Additionally,Pp ARF4 could act as a negative regulator of flavone synthesis and thus prevent the explants from browning.The results not only provide novel insights into the functions of ARFs in regulating plant growth and development,but will also be useful for fulfilling asexual propagation by stem cuttings in peach.

文摘Adventitious agents,comprising unintentionally introduced microorganisms in the production of biological products,pose a significant challenge in ensuring the safety of gene therapy products.The revised International Council for Harmonisation of Technical Requirements for Pharmaceuticals for Human Use(ICH)guildline Q5A(R2)from September 2022 highlights the inclusion of viral vector-based gene therapy products in safety discussions,emphasizing controls in material sourcing,testing,and viral clearance[1].Detecting adventitious virus contamination is complex due to the unique characteristics of gene therapy products and the limitations of routine testing methods.The US Food and Drug Administration(FDA)recommends incorporating routine and specific virus detection methods,including those outlined in various pharmacopeias.Existing control methods have limitations,prompting the need for highly sensitive and broad-spectrum detection approaches.Unlike traditional biological products,gene therapy products primarily consist of live viruses,necessitating methods that distinguish between the main virus and adventitious viruses.Current virus detection techniques,such as polymerase chain reaction(PCR),sequencing,mass spectrometry,and DNA microarrays[2e4],have their drawbacks.

文摘Grapevine(Vitis sp.)is one of the most important economic fruit crops all over the world,and the formation of adventitious roots(ARs)is crucial for the vegetative reproduction of grapes.However,studies on the regulatory mechanisms of this process are currently lacking.In this study,we applied an efficient and convenient leave-petiole(LP)system for studying ARs,revealing a significant inhibition of root primordia formation under continuous-light treatment.The results showed that isolated ARs of grapevine were induced and originated from ray cells near the vascular cambium,with the process categorized into induction,initiation,and extension stages.LP samples under light and dark conditions were used for transcriptome sequencing and endogenous hormone measurements at three critical time points of AR formation.A total of 37155 transcripts were obtained,and 7041 genes showed significantly different expression levels in the petiole.An integrated analysis,including Gene Ontology(GO)enrichment analysis,weighted gene co-expression network analysis(WGCNA),and hormonal content determination,showed that several genes(ARF4,LAX1,PIN1,SUS2,APX1,TPXL1,CHS3,etc.)associated with hormone signals,sugar synthesis and transport,reactive oxygen species(ROS)scavenging,cell wall biogenesis,flavonoid biosynthesis,microtubule remodeling,and some transcription factors(HY5,COP1,ERF2,MYB15,etc)played vital roles in light-induced AR formation.A hypothetical model was initially constructed,which illustrated the centrality of auxin in HY5-dependent AR formation and the complex crosstalk among various factors.The results of this study provided abundant genetic resources and a novel perspective for understanding the molecular mechanisms of AR formation in grapevine.

文摘Objective: Chronic hyperglycemia characteristic of type diabetes 2 is responsible for the accelerated atherosclerosis with increased cardiovascular risk. In this study, we will propose to analyze the effect of a long-term of glucotoxicity in vivo in Psammomys obesus by addition of sucrose to 30% for 11 months and in vitro study of adventitial fibroblasts in the presence of D-glucose 0.6% for 7 days. Materials and methods: Evaluation of plasma biochemical parameters was carried out at the initial time and at the end of experiment. At autopsy, a morphological study of the aorta was performed after fixation in aqueous Bouin and staining with Masson’s trichrome. The experimental glucotoxicity is induced by incubation of fibroblasts in DMEM enriched with D-glucose at 0.6% for 7 days. The impact of glucotoxicity is assessed in the intracellular compartments through dosage of total nitrite and malondialdehyde, a product of lipid peroxidation, and thanks to a morphological assay after fixation of cells with aqueous bouin and blood staining with May Grünwald Giemsa. The evaluation of cell proliferation is accomplished by cell counting. Collagens I and III of the extracellular compartment are characterized by SDS-PAGE. Results: Animals subjected to sucrose showed hyperglycemia associated with hyperinsulinemia, dyslipidemia, hyperproteinemia, increased CPK and VLDL-LDL and decreased HDL. Histology of aortas revealed endothelial cells hypertrophy, severe disorganization of intima and media. In the presence of glucose, the proliferation of fibroblasts increases very significantly (P = 2.34 × 10-5), the rate of malonaldehyde, nitrite and total density of chains α2 (I) and α1 (I + III) extra-cellular collagens I and III increased significantly. After staining, the cells showed hypertrophy, vacuolation of cytoplasm and chromatin condensation with nuclear fragmentation, indicative of apoptosis. Conclusion: The glucotoxicity induced in vivo and in vitro is responsible for major structural and metabolic alterations leading to the acceleration of the atherosclerotic process.

文摘Microshoots of Castanea mollissima cv.＇yanshanhong＇ in vitro acquired an enhanced rooting capability with increasing numbers of subculture.In this study,we investigated the effect of successive subculture on adventitious root formation in vitro by the determination of the endogenous hormone level and the enzyme activity.The levels of indoleacetic acid（IAA）,abscisic acid（ABA）,cytokinins（CTK） and gibberellic acid（GA3） were determined by high performance liquid chromatography（HPLC）,and the activities of indoleacetic acid oxidase（IAAO）,peroxidase oxidase（POD）,and polyphenol oxidase（PPO） were measured by ultraviolet-spectrophotometer assay after the induction of rooting at 2nd,4th,6th and 8th subculture.The relationships between physiological characteristics and subculture numbers or rooting rate were as follows：The levels of endogenous IAA in microshoots gradually increased,and endogenous levels of ABA,CTK and GA3 in microshoots decreased slightly after serial subcultures.The level of IAA was highly correlated with subculture numbers and rooting rates.The ratios of IAA/ABA and IAA/CTK both acutely raised with increasing rooting rate during successive subcultures and had high correlations with rooting rate.The activity of IAAO and POD are significantly negatively related with subculture numbers,and the activity of PPO increased after subcultures.
文摘Polar auxin transport (PAT) is critical in plant growth and development, especially polar differentiation and pattern formation. Lots of studies have been performed in dicots while relative less in monocots. Using two kinds of PAT inhibitors, 2, 3, 5-triiodobenzoic acid (TIBA) and 9-hydroxyfluorene-9-carboxylic acid (HFCA), it was shown that PAT is important for rice (Oryza sativa L. cv. Zhonghua 11) root development, including elongation of the primary roots, initiation and elongation of lateral roots, and formation of adventitious roots. Inhibition of PAT resulted in the shortened primary roots, less and shortened lateral and adventitious roots. Exogenously supplemented NAA can partially rescue the formation of adventitious roots but not lateral roots, while low concentration of NAA (0.1 mumol/L) could not rescue either of them, suggesting the possible different mechanisms of lateral and adventitious root initiations. Treatment of 30 mumol/L TIBA did not completely inhibit the initiation of lateral roots, and survival capacities of which were demonstrated through cross section experiments revealing the presence of primordial of lateral roots at different stages. Further studies through localized application of PAT inhibitors indicated that auxin flow, transported from coleoptiles to the base, is not only responsible for the auxin contents in stem nodes but also critical for initiation and elongation of adventitious roots.

文摘The fibrous root system in cereals comprises primarily adventitious roots （ARs）, which play important roles in nutrient and water uptake. Current knowledge regarding the molecular mechanism underlying AR development is still limited. We report here the isolation of four rice （Oryza sativa L.） mutants, from different genetic backgrounds, all of which were defective in AR formation. These mutants exhibited reduced numbers of lateral roots （LRs） and partial loss of gravitropism. The mutants also displayed enhanced sensitivity to N-l-naphthylphthalamic acid, an inhibitor of polar auxin transport （PAT）, indicating that the mutations affected auxin transport. Positional cloning using one of the four mutants revealed that it was caused by loss-of-function of a guanine nucleotide exchange factor for ADP- ribosylation factor （OsGNOM1）. RT-PCR and analysis of promoter：：GUS transgenic plants showed that OsGNOM1 is expressed in AR primordia, vascular tissues, LRs, root tips, leaves, anthers and lemma veins, with a distribution pattern similar to that of auxin. In addition, the expressions of OsPIN2, OsPIN5b and OsPIN9 were altered in the mutants. Taken together, these findings indicate that OsGNOM1 affects the formation of ARs through regulating PAT.

文摘A protocol for micropropagation using nodal explants from mature Pinus massoniana trees has been developed. Time of explant collection is crucial for the initial success of aseptic culture. Explants collected in early March gave the highest percentage of explant survival (64.5%) and shoot-forming percentage (52.3%). Thidiazuron (TDZ) concentration significantly influenced shoot formation; 4 mu M TDZ was optimum, with 4.8 shoots produced per explant with a mean length of 7.1 cm after 120 days of culture. Regenerated shoots rooted for 60 days in basic medium with 1 mu M NAA were ready for growth in pots. This is the first report on plantlet regeneration in vitro from mature trees of P. massoniana that provides a reliable method for propagating selected elites.
