Histone deacetylase inhibitors augment doxorubicin-induced DNA damage in cardiomyocytes

Histone deacetylase inhibitors have emerged as a new class of anticancer therapeutics with suberoylanilide hydroxamic acid (Vorinostat) and depsipeptide (Romidepsin) already being approved for clinical use. Numerous studies have identified that histone deacetylase inhibitors will be most effective in the clinic when used in combination with conventional cancer therapies such as ionizing radiation and chemotherapeutic agents. One promising combination, particularly for hematologic malignancies, involves the use of histone deacetylase inhibitors with the anthracycline, doxorubicin. However, we previously identified that trichostatin A can potentiate doxorubicin-induced hypertrophy, the dose-limiting side-effect of the anthracycline, in cardiac myocytes. Here we have the extended the earlier studies and evaluated the effects of combinations of the histone deacetylase inhibitors, trichostatin A, valproic acid and sodium butyrate on doxorubicin-induced DNA double-strand breaks in cardiomyocytes. Using γH2AX as a molecular marker for the DNA lesions, we identified that all of the broad-spectrum histone deacetylase inhibitors tested augment doxorubicin-induced DNA damage. Furthermore, it is evident from the fluorescence photomicrographs of stained nuclei that the histone deacetylase inhibitors also augment doxorubicin-induced hypertrophy. These observations highlight the importance of investigating potential side-effects, in relevant model systems, which may be associated with emerging combination therapies for cancer.

利用等包络迹高度控制砂轮行走路径,实现了曲面的自适应数控成型磨削,以提高曲面的磨削效率.首先,根据曲面曲率建立自适应数控成型磨削的数控模式,然后,在比较等间距行走的数控磨削方式的基础上分析曲面曲率不同的成型磨削特征,最后,进行数控成型磨削试验和检测加工曲面的成形误差,验证该自适应数控成型磨削方法的有效性.分析结果表明,利用移动磨削点的包络成型磨削可以减小砂轮磨损对加工精度的影响.此外,等包络迹高度行走的数控磨削可以根据曲面曲率调节行走路经的间距,实现自适应磨削加工,提高曲面的加工效率,而且在加工曲率较大且提高加工精度时可以较大幅度地减少砂轮行走步数.试验结果表明,当等包络迹高度小至1μm时可以形成光顺的加工曲面,在100mm×40mm范围内形状误差PV值可以达到0.285mm.

Optical detection of acetylcholine esterase based on CdTe quantum dots

In this study, we have constructed a simple, sensitive and rapid biosensor for detection of acetylcholine esterase (AChE) based on CdTe quantum dots (QDs). The detection limit of AChE by one-step enzyme reaction based on the thiolglycolic acid (TGA) stabilized QDs (TGA-QDs) was 10 U/L and the linear range was 10-100 and 100-1200 U/L, respectively. The detection limit of AChE by two-step enzyme reaction based on the 3-mercaptopropionic acid (MGA) stabilized QDs (MGA-QDs) was found to be 20 U/L and the linear range was 100-2500 U/L. The experimental conditions of biosensors were optimized, and the detection mechanism was studied. We also detected AChE in serum samples based on TGA-QDs or MGA-QDs. The linear range was 10-140 and 50-1000 U/L, respectively. The excellent performance of this novel biosensor demonstrated that this strategy has prodigious potential to be applied in practice detection of AChE.     

Sinorhizobium meliloti lsrB is involved in alfalfa root nodule development and nitrogen-fixing bacteroid differentiation

Rhizobia interact with host legumes to induce the formation of nitrogen-fixing nodules, which is very important in agriculture and ecology. The development of nitrogen-fixing nodules is stringently regulated by host plants and rhizobial symbionts. In our previous work, a new Sinorhizobium meliloti LysR regulator gene (lsrB) was identified to be essential for alfalfa nodulation. However, how this gene is involved in alfalfa nodulation was not yet understood. Here, we found that this gene was associated with prevention of premature nodule senescence and abortive bacteroid formation. Heterogeneous deficient alfalfa root nodules were induced by the in-frame deletion mutant of lsrB (lsrB1-2), which was similar to the plasmid-insertion mutant, lsrB1. Irregular senescence zones earlier appeared in these nodules where bacteroid differentiation was blocked at different stages from microscopy observations. Interestingly, oxidative bursts were observed in these nodules by DAB staining. The decreased expression of lipopolysaccharide core genes (lpsCDE) was correspondingly determined in these nodules. S. meliloti lipopolysaccharide is required for suppression of oxidative bursts or host cell defense. These findings demonstrate that the S. meliloti lsrB gene is involved in alfalfa root nodule development and bacteroid differentiation by suppressing oxidative bursts or defense responses in host cells.
