METHODS： BXPC-3 cells derived from human pancreatic cancer were exposed to 40 or 80 μmol/L IAA and 1.2 μg/mL HRP at different times. Then, Mn- assay was used to detect the cell proliferation. Flow cytometry was performed to analyze cell cycle. Terminal deoxynucleotidyl transferasemediated dUTP nick end labeling assay was used to detect apoptosis. 2,7-Dichlorofluorescin diacetate uptake was measured by confocal microscopy to determine free radicals. Level of malondialdehyde （MDA） and activity of superoxide dismutase （SOD） were measured by biochemical methods. RESULTS： IAA/HRP initiated growth inhibition of BXPC-3 cells in a dose- and time-dependent manner. Flow cytometry revealed that the cells treated for 48 h were arrested at G1/G0. After exposure to 80 μmol/L IAA plus 1.2 μg/mL HRP for 72 h, the apoptosis rate increased to 72.5‰, which was nine times that of control. Content of MDA and activity of SOD increased respectively after treatment compared to control. Meanwhile, IAA/HRP stimulated the formation of free radicals. CONCLUSION： The combination of IAA and HRP can inhibit the growth of human pancreatic cancer BXPC-3 cells in vitro by inducing apoptosis.展开更多

The incorporation of GO into PEDOTM film facilitated the electrocatalytic activity and exhibited a favorable interaction between the PEDOTM/GO film and the phytohormone during the oxidation of IAA. Under optimized conditions, differential pulse voltammetry and square wave voltammetry were used for the quantitative analysis of IAA, respectively, each exhibiting a wide linearity range from 0.6 μmol L-1 to 10 μmol L-1 and 0.05 μmol L-1 to 40 μmol L-1, good sensitivity with a low detection Iimit of 0.087 μmol L-1 and 0.033μmol L T, respectively, as well as good stability. With the notable advantages of a green, sensitive method, expeditious response and facile operation, the as-prepared PEDOTM/GO organic-inorganic composite film provides a promising platform for electrochemical studies of IAA.展开更多

The cell proliferation was determined by MTF assay. The cell cycle and apoptosis of K562 and BXPC-3 cells were examined by a fluorescence flow cytometer （FCM） and terminal deoxynacleotidyl transferase-mediated dUTP nick-end labeling （TUNEL） respectively. The experimental results show that IAA and HRP could inhibit BXPC- 3 cell proliferation greatly compared with K562 cell during the first 48 h . The cell cycle was arrested predominantly at G2/ M phase in K562 and BXPC- 3 cells. The cell apoptosis of K562 and BXPC- 3 was induced by IAA/ HRP. There was a significant difference between the two cell lines since BXPC-3 cells were more sensitive than K562 cells by treatments with combination of IAA and HRP.展开更多

However, the influence of sulfur nutrient availability on the regulation of root development remains largely unknown. Here, we report the response of Arabidopsis thaliana L. root development and growth to different levels of sulfate, demonstrating that low sulfate levels promote the primary root elongation. By using various reporter lines, we examined in vivo IAA level and distribution, cell division,and root meristem in response to different sulfate levels.Meanwhile the dynamic changes of in vivo cysteine, glutathione,and IAA levels were measured. Root cysteine, glutathione, and IAA levels are positively correlated with external sulfate levels in the physiological range, which eventually affect root system architecture. Low sulfate levels also downregulate the genes involved in auxin biosynthesis and transport, and elevate the accumulation of PLT1 and PLT2. This study suggests that sulfate level affects the primary root elongation by regulating the endogenous auxin level and root stem cell niche maintenance.展开更多

The PtNW and multiwalled carbon nanotubes （CNT） are then dispersed into chitosan （CHIT） solution. The resulting PtNW-CNT-CHIT material brings new capabilities for electrochemical devices by using the synergistic action of the electrocatalytic activity of PtNW and CNT. By dropping the PtNW-CNT-CHIT film onto the glassy carbon （GO） electrode surface, and after evaporation an amperometric sensor for the determination of indole-3-acetic acid （IAA） was developed. The oxidation current of IAA increased significantly at the PtNW-CNT-CHIT film coated GC electrode, in contrast to that at the CNT-CHIT modified GC. The linear response of the sensor is from 50 ng/ml to 50 μg/ml with a detection limit of 25 ng/mL.展开更多
A comprehensive exploration of the aminolysis mechanism for methyl indole-3-acetate with ammonia is carried out by employing the B3 LYP/6-311++G(d,p), M06-2 X/6-311++G(d,p) and MP2/6-311++G(d,p)//M06-2 X/6-311++G(d,p)...A comprehensive exploration of the aminolysis mechanism for methyl indole-3-acetate with ammonia is carried out by employing the B3 LYP/6-311++G(d,p), M06-2 X/6-311++G(d,p) and MP2/6-311++G(d,p)//M06-2 X/6-311++G(d,p) levels. Two alterative reaction channels of the concerted and addition/elimination stepwise processes including the uncatalyzed, base-catalyzed reactions are taken into consideration. Subsequently, the substituent effects and solvent effects in methanol are also evaluated at the M06-2 X/6-311++G(d,p) level. The calculated results indicate that the calculated values of M06-2 X level are quite close to those of MP2, the stepwise pathway has more advantages to the concerted one for all of the reaction processes and the catalyst facilitates the proton migration and decreases the energy barriers as well. It is shown that the most preferred mechanism is the based-catalyzed stepwise process, the substituent of NH2 group slightly accelerates all the aminolysis reaction processes, and the solvent effect does not remarkably change the mechanism of the reaction.展开更多

Ascorbate oxidase （AO） was used as a model for the development and application of biosensor. Vitamin C （VC） biosensors were facilely fabricated by the covalent immobilization of AO molecules on PTAA matrices electrosynthesized in ACN containing tetrabutylammonium tetrafluoroborate and BmimPF6, respectively. Electrochemical impedance spectroscopy, scanning electron microscopy and FTIR spectroscopy indicated that AO molecules were covalently immobilized on PTAA matrices. Parameters of the as-obtained biosensors such as working potential, pH and temperature have been optimized. The amperometric biosensor based on PTAA matrix electrosynthesized in BmimPF6 exhibited wider linear range, lower detection limit, higher sensitivity and bioaffinity, and better operational and storage stability than that electrosynthesized in ACN under optimal conditions. The as-obtained biosensor based on PTAA matrix electrosynthesized in BmimPF6 was employed for the detection of VC content in comme：rcial juices, and the result was close to the data given by manufacturers. Excellent results indicate that the PTAA matrix electrosynthesized in ionic liquid is a promising platform for the covalent immobilization of biologically-active species and the development of biosensors.展开更多

In this study, two important auxins were selected as model analytes, namely indole-3- butyric acid （IBA） and 1-naphthylacetic acid （NAA）. They could be extracted and concentrated due to their π-π stacking interactions with MWCNT. Then HPLC-UV was introduced to detect IBA and NAA after sample pretreatment. Factors that may affect the enrichment efficiency were investigated and optimized. Comparative studies showed that MWCNT was superior to CI 8 for the extraction of the two analytes. Validation experiments showed that the optimized method had good linearity （0.9998 and 0.9960）, high recovery （81.4%-85.4%）, and low detection limits （0.0030 mg/L and 0.0012 mg/L）. The results indicated that the novel method had advantages of convenience, good sensitivity, high efficiency, and it was feasible for the determination of auxins in plant samples.展开更多

The maximum survival percentage, plant height （cm）, root length （era）, numbers of roots and root weight per cutting were significantly higher in hard wood cuttings. IBA concentration had no speculative effect on plane tree cuttings. Thus, hard wood cutting was the best choice for plan tree propagation.展开更多

文摘Nitrogen and auxin uptake play pivotal roles in seed germination and development.Gastrodia elata,a fully mycoheterotrophic plant,depends entirely on its symbiotic association with Mycena for early growth and seed germination.The process by which Mycena supplies nitrogen nutrients and auxin,which are deficient in G.elata,remains poorly understood.In this study,genome-scale analysis of G.elata revealed the loss of genes associated with nitrogen utilization and indole-3-acetic acid(IAA)biosynthesis,which are retained in Mycena.Further analysis of the dynamic transcriptomic interactions between G.elata seeds and Mycena across different symbiotic stages revealed that genes involved in nitrogen-and tryptophan-dependent IAA biosynthesis were significantly upregulated in Mycena during the symbiotic germination of G.elata seeds.Concurrently,G.elata seeds exhibited increased expression of genes involved in the hormone signal trans-duction pathway and the starch and sucrose metabolism pathway.Functional disruption of nitrite reduc-tase(MyNir,EVM0012344)and amidase(MyAmid,EVM0010270),key enzymes in nitrogen assimilation and IAA biosynthesis in Mycena,significantly impaired the symbiotic germination of G.elata seeds.This disruption interfered with energy supply,caused cellular restructuring,and altered hormonal signaling crosstalk.In conclusion,our findings provide novel insights into the mutualistic symbiotic relationship between Mycena and G.elata.Specifically,the fungus Mycena compensates for the incomplete nitrogen metabolism of its plant partner,G.elata,and supplies IAA,thereby promoting seed germination.These re-sults shed light on plant-fungal symbiotic associations from the perspective of nitrogen utilization.

文摘Sulfur is an essential macronutrient for plants with numerous biological functions. However, the influence of sulfur nutrient availability on the regulation of root development remains largely unknown. Here, we report the response of Arabidopsis thaliana L. root development and growth to different levels of sulfate, demonstrating that low sulfate levels promote the primary root elongation. By using various reporter lines, we examined in vivo IAA level and distribution, cell division,and root meristem in response to different sulfate levels.Meanwhile the dynamic changes of in vivo cysteine, glutathione,and IAA levels were measured. Root cysteine, glutathione, and IAA levels are positively correlated with external sulfate levels in the physiological range, which eventually affect root system architecture. Low sulfate levels also downregulate the genes involved in auxin biosynthesis and transport, and elevate the accumulation of PLT1 and PLT2. This study suggests that sulfate level affects the primary root elongation by regulating the endogenous auxin level and root stem cell niche maintenance.

文摘Platinum nanowire （PtNW） can be grown by electrodeposition in polycarbonate membrane, with the average diameter of the nanowires about 250 nm. The PtNW and multiwalled carbon nanotubes （CNT） are then dispersed into chitosan （CHIT） solution. The resulting PtNW-CNT-CHIT material brings new capabilities for electrochemical devices by using the synergistic action of the electrocatalytic activity of PtNW and CNT. By dropping the PtNW-CNT-CHIT film onto the glassy carbon （GO） electrode surface, and after evaporation an amperometric sensor for the determination of indole-3-acetic acid （IAA） was developed. The oxidation current of IAA increased significantly at the PtNW-CNT-CHIT film coated GC electrode, in contrast to that at the CNT-CHIT modified GC. The linear response of the sensor is from 50 ng/ml to 50 μg/ml with a detection limit of 25 ng/mL.

文摘A comprehensive exploration of the aminolysis mechanism for methyl indole-3-acetate with ammonia is carried out by employing the B3 LYP/6-311++G(d,p), M06-2 X/6-311++G(d,p) and MP2/6-311++G(d,p)//M06-2 X/6-311++G(d,p) levels. Two alterative reaction channels of the concerted and addition/elimination stepwise processes including the uncatalyzed, base-catalyzed reactions are taken into consideration. Subsequently, the substituent effects and solvent effects in methanol are also evaluated at the M06-2 X/6-311++G(d,p) level. The calculated results indicate that the calculated values of M06-2 X level are quite close to those of MP2, the stepwise pathway has more advantages to the concerted one for all of the reaction processes and the catalyst facilitates the proton migration and decreases the energy barriers as well. It is shown that the most preferred mechanism is the based-catalyzed stepwise process, the substituent of NH2 group slightly accelerates all the aminolysis reaction processes, and the solvent effect does not remarkably change the mechanism of the reaction.
文摘Indole-3-acetamide(IAM)is the first confirmed auxin biosynthetic intermediate in some plant pathogenic bacteria.Exogenously applied IAM or production of IAM by overexpressing the bacterial iaaM gene in Arabidopsis causes auxin overproduction phenotypes.However,it is still inconclusive whether plants use IAM as a key precursor for auxin biosynthesis.Herein,we reported the isolation IAM HYDROLASE 1(IAMH1)gene in Arabidopsis from a forward genetic screen for IAM-insensitive mutants that display normal auxin sensitivities.IAMH1 has a close homolog named IAMH2 that is located right next to IAMH1on chromosomeⅣin Arabidopsis.We generated iamh1 iamh2 double mutants using our CRISPR/Cas9gene editing technology.We showed that disruption of the IAMH genes rendered Arabidopsis plants resistant to IAM treatments and also suppressed the iaaM overexpression phenotypes,suggesting that IAMH1 and IAMH2 are the main enzymes responsible for converting IAM into indole-3-acetic acid(IAA)in Arabidopsis.The iamh double mutants did not display obvious developmental defects,indicating that IAM does not play a major role in auxin biosynthesis under normal growth conditions.Our findings provide a solid foundation for clarifying the roles of IAM in auxin biosynthesis and plant development.

文摘The aim of this paper was to study the effect of combination of Lactobacillus strains and tryptophan(Trp)-rich diet on the intestinal barrier function of Balb/c mice exposed to a cocktail of antibiotics and dextran sodium sulfate.Several Lactobacillus strains isolated from the healthy human fecal sample was found to utilize Trp to produce indole derivatives.The results of Trp metabolism indicated that the ability of Lactobacillus to metabolize Trp to produce indole-3-lactic acid(ILA),indole-3-carboxaldehyde(I3C),and indole-3-acetic acid varies in vitro and in vivo.The effect of Lactobacillus with high-yielding indole derivatives on disease activity index,colon length,and intestinal permeability was significantly better than that of Lactobacillus with low-yielding indole derivatives in a high Trp diet.And Lactobacillus combined with Trp intervention also had a certain regulatory effect on the intestinal flora of male BALB/c mice.Among them,Lactiplantibacillus plantarum DPUL-S164 produced more ILA both in vivo and in vitro,and the combination of L.plantarum DPUL-S164 and Trp significantly decreased the expression level of the serum pro-inflammatory cytokine interleukin(IL)-6 and increased the expression level of the anti-inflammatory cytokine IL-10,significantly improved the number of goblet cells in the mouse mucous layer and increased mucin and tight junction protein expression.Furthermore,L.plantarum DPUL-S164 combined with Trp intervention activated the aryl hydrocarbon receptors(Ah R)signaling pathway.Furthermore,we found that the expression of colonic tight junction protein was positively correlated with the expression of colonic Ah R,and the expression of Ah R was positively correlated with the concentrations of ILA and I3C in vivo.Therefore,we conclude that the ILA as Ah R ligand produced by L.plantarum DPUL-S164 regulated the Ah R pathway,thus up-regulating the expression of the tight junction protein and protecting the integrity of the epithelial barrier.

文摘The biocompatiable and low-toxic poly（thiophene-3-aeetic acid） （PTAA） matrix was successfully electrosynthesized in ionic liquid 1-butyl-3-metbylimidazolium hexafluorophosphate （BmimPF6） in comparison with the electrosynthesis of PTAA matrix in acetonitrile （ACN）. Ascorbate oxidase （AO） was used as a model for the development and application of biosensor. Vitamin C （VC） biosensors were facilely fabricated by the covalent immobilization of AO molecules on PTAA matrices electrosynthesized in ACN containing tetrabutylammonium tetrafluoroborate and BmimPF6, respectively. Electrochemical impedance spectroscopy, scanning electron microscopy and FTIR spectroscopy indicated that AO molecules were covalently immobilized on PTAA matrices. Parameters of the as-obtained biosensors such as working potential, pH and temperature have been optimized. The amperometric biosensor based on PTAA matrix electrosynthesized in BmimPF6 exhibited wider linear range, lower detection limit, higher sensitivity and bioaffinity, and better operational and storage stability than that electrosynthesized in ACN under optimal conditions. The as-obtained biosensor based on PTAA matrix electrosynthesized in BmimPF6 was employed for the detection of VC content in comme：rcial juices, and the result was close to the data given by manufacturers. Excellent results indicate that the PTAA matrix electrosynthesized in ionic liquid is a promising platform for the covalent immobilization of biologically-active species and the development of biosensors.

文摘BACKGROUND Colorectal cancer(CRC)has a high incidence and mortality.Recent studies have shown that indole derivatives involved in gut microbiota metabolism can impact the tumorigenesis,progression,and metastasis of CRC.AIM To investigate the effect of indole-3-acetaldehyde(IAAD)on CRC.METHODS The effect of IAAD was evaluated in a syngeneic mouse model of CRC and CRC cell lines(HCT116 and DLD-1).Cell proliferation was assessed by Ki-67 fluorescence staining and cytotoxicity tests.Cell apoptosis was analysed by flow cytometry after staining with Annexin V-fluorescein isothiocyanate and propidium iodide.Invasiveness was investigated using the transwell assay.Western blotting and real-time fluorescence quantitative polymerase chain reaction were performed to evaluate the expression of epithelial-mesenchymal transition related genes and aryl hydrocarbon receptor(AhR)downstream genes.The PharmMapper,SEA,and SWISS databases were used to screen for potential target proteins of IAAD,and the core proteins were identified through the String database.RESULTS IAAD reduced tumorigenesis in a syngeneic mouse model.In CRC cell lines HCT116 and DLD1,IAAD exhibited cytotoxicity starting at 24 h of treatment,while it reduced Ki67 expression in the nucleus.The results of flow cytometry showed that IAAD induced apoptosis in HCT116 cells but had no effect on DLD1 cells,which may be related to the activation of AhR.IAAD can also increase the invasiveness and epithelial-mesenchymal transition of HCT116 and DLD1 cells.At low concentrations(<12.5μmol/L),IAAD only exhibited cytotoxic effects without promoting cell invasion.In addition,predictions based on online databases,protein-protein interaction analysis,and molecular docking showed that IAAD can bind to matrix metalloproteinase-9(MMP9),angiotensin converting enzyme(ACE),poly(ADP-ribose)polymerase-1(PARP1),matrix metalloproteinase-2(MMP2),and myeloperoxidase(MPO).CONCLUSION Indole-3-aldehyde can induce cell apoptosis and inhibit cell proliferation to prevent the occurrence of CRC;however,at high concentrations(≥25μmol/L),it can also promote epithelial-mesenchymal transition and invasion in CRC cells.IAAD activates AhR and directly binds MMP9,ACE,PARP1,MMP2,and MPO,which partly reveals why it has a bidirectional effect.

文摘Nitric oxide（NO）and hydrogen peroxide（H2O2）are essential signaling molecules with key roles in auxin induced adventitious root formation in many plants.However,whether they are the sole determinants for adventitious root formation is worth further study.In this study,endogenous NO and H2O2 were monitored in tea cutting with or without indole-3-butyric acid（IBA）treatment by using the fluorescent probes diaminofluorescein diacetate（DAF-2DA）and 2＇,7＇-dichlorodihydrofluorescein diacetate（DCF-DA）,respectively.The overproduction of NO and H2O2 was detected in the rooting parts of tea cuttings treated with or without IBA.But little NO and H2O2 was detected before the initiation phase of tea cuttings even with IBA treatment indicating that they might be not directly induced by IBA.Further carbon and nitrogen analysis found that the overproduction of NO and H2O2 were coincident with the consumption of soluble sugars and the assimilation of nitrogen.These results suggest that rooting phases should be taken into consideration with the hypothesis that auxin induces adventitious root formation via NO-and H2O2-dependent pathways and sink establishment might be a prerequisite for NO and H2O2 mediated adventitious root formation.

文摘In this work, a new sample pretreatment method prior to HPLC separations was developed for the determination of auxins in plant samples, Owing to its large surface area and high adsorption capacity, multi-walled carbon nanotube （MWCNT） was chosen as the adsorbent for the extraction of auxins from plant samples. In this study, two important auxins were selected as model analytes, namely indole-3- butyric acid （IBA） and 1-naphthylacetic acid （NAA）. They could be extracted and concentrated due to their π-π stacking interactions with MWCNT. Then HPLC-UV was introduced to detect IBA and NAA after sample pretreatment. Factors that may affect the enrichment efficiency were investigated and optimized. Comparative studies showed that MWCNT was superior to CI 8 for the extraction of the two analytes. Validation experiments showed that the optimized method had good linearity （0.9998 and 0.9960）, high recovery （81.4%-85.4%）, and low detection limits （0.0030 mg/L and 0.0012 mg/L）. The results indicated that the novel method had advantages of convenience, good sensitivity, high efficiency, and it was feasible for the determination of auxins in plant samples.
文摘Effects of different Indole-3-Buteric Acid （IBA） concentrations （0, 1 000, 1 500 and 2 500 ppm） and curing types （soft wood, semi hard and hard wood） of plane tree were investigated with Randomized Complete Block Design （RCBD） at the Agricultural research station, Charsadda. The maximum survival percentage, plant height （cm）, root length （era）, numbers of roots and root weight per cutting were significantly higher in hard wood cuttings. IBA concentration had no speculative effect on plane tree cuttings. Thus, hard wood cutting was the best choice for plan tree propagation.
