Objectives This study examined the protective effect of salubrinal and the mechanism underlying this protection against tunicamycin (TM)- and hypoxia-induced apoptosis in rat cardiomyocytes. Methods Neonatal rat cardiomyocytes were cultured from the ventricles of l-day-old Wistar rats. Cells were exposed to different concentrations of salubrinal (10, 20, and 40 gmol/L) for 30 min followed by TM treatment or hypoxia for 36 h. Apoptosis was measured by a multiparameter HCS (high content screening) apoptosis assay, TUNEL assay and flow cytometry. The phosphorylation of eukaryotic translation initiation factor 2 subunit alpha (eIF2c0 and the expression of cleaved caspase-12 were determined by Western blotting. C/EBP homologous protein (CHOP) was detected by immunocytochemistry. Results HCS, TUNEL assays and flow cytometry showed that salubrinal protected cardiomyocytes against apoptosis induced by TM or hypoxia. Western blotting showed that salubrinal protected cardiomyocytes against apoptosis by inducing eIF2ct phosphorylation and down-regulating the expression of the endoplasmic reticulum stress-mediated apoptotic proteins, CHOP and cleaved caspase-12. Conclusions Our study suggests that salubrinal protects rat cardiomyocytes against TM- or hypoxia-associated apoptosis via a mechanism involving the inhibition of ER stress-mediated apoptosis. 展开更多

Sex pheromones are considered to play critical roles in partner communication of most parasitic Hymenoptera.However,the identification of sex pheromone components remains limited to a few families of parasitoid wasps.In this study,we functionally characterized a candidate sex pheromone component in Microplitis mediator(Hymenoptera:Braconidae),a solitary parasitoid of Noctuidae insects.We found that the body surface extract from female wasps could significantly stimulate courtship behavior of males.Gas chromatography-electroantennographic detection(GC-EAD)analysis revealed that a candidate semiochemical from extract triggered significant electrophysiological response of antennae of males.By performing gas chromatography-mass spectrometer(GC-MS)measurement,GC-EAD active compound was identified as n-octyl acrylate,a candidate sex pheromone component in female M.mediator.In electroantennogram(EAG)tests,antennae of male wasps showed significantly higher electrophysiological responses to n-octyl acrylate than those of females.Y-tube olfactometer assays indicated that male wasps significantly chose n-octyl acrylate compared with the control.Furthermore,male wasps showed a remarkable preference for n-octyl acrylate in a simulated field condition behavioral trial;simultaneously,n-octyl acrylate standard could also trigger significant courtship behavior in males.We propose that n-octyl acrylate,as a candidate vital sex pheromone component,could be utilized to design behavioral regulators of M.mediator to implement the protection and utilization of natural enemies. 展开更多

Background The neutrophil-to-lymphocyte (N/L) ratio has been associated with poor prognosis in patients with heart failure, but it has not been compared with N-terminal pro-brain natriuretic peptide (NT-proBNP) in elderly patients with chronic heart failure (CHF). We sought to make this comparison. Methods A total of 1355 elderly patients with CHF were analyzed. A multivariate logistic regression model was used to analyze the variables associated with atrial fibrillation (AF). Cox regression analysis was used to assess the multivariable rela- tionship between the N/L ratio, NT-proBNP level, and subsequent major cardiovascular events (MCE). Results In the multiple logistic regression analysis, the N/L ratio was demonstrated as a risk factor for AF in elderly patients with CHF [odds ratio (OR): 1.079, 95% confi- dence interval (CI): 1.027-1.134, P = 0.003]. The median follow-up period was 18 months. In a multivariable model using tertiles of both variables, the highest tertile of the N/L ratio was significantly associated with MCE [hazard ratio (HR): 1.407, 95% CI: 1.098-1.802, P = 0.007] compared with the lowest tertile. Similarly, the highest NT-proBNP tertile was also significantly associated with MCE (HR: 1.461, 95% CI: 1.104-1.934, P- 0.008). Conclusions In elderly patients with CHF, the N/L ratio is one of the important risk factors for AF and it is an inexpensive and readily available marker with similar independent prognostic power to NT-proBNP. The risk of MCE increases 1.407-fold when the N/L ratio is elevated to the highest tertile. 展开更多

Sensory neuron membrane proteins(SNMPs),homologs of the human fatty acid transport protein CD36 family,are observed to play a significant role in chemoreception,especially in detecting sex pheromone in Drosophila and some lepidopteran species.In the current study,two full‐length SNMP transcripts,MmedSNMP1 and MmedSNMP2,were identified in the parasitoid Microplitis mediator(Hymenoptera:Braconidae).Quantitative real‐time polymerase chain reaction analysis showed that the expression of MmedSNMP1 was significantly higher in antennae than in other tissues of both sexes.In addition,the MmedSNMP1 transcript was increased dramatically in newly emerged adults and there were no significant differences between adults with or without mating and parasitic experiences.However,compared with MmedSNMP1,the expression of MmedSNMP2 was widely found in various tissues,significantly increased at half‐pigmented pupae stage and remained at a relatively constant level during the following developmental stages.It was found that MmedSNMP1 contained eight exons and seven introns,which was highly conserved compared with other insect species.In situ hybridization assay demonstrated that MmedSNMP1 transcript was distributed widely in antennal flagella.Among selected chemosensory genes(odorant binding protein,odorant receptor,and ionotropic receptor genes),MmedSNMP1 only partially overlapped with MmedORco in olfactory sensory neurons of antennae.Subsequent immunolocalization results further indicated that MmedSNMP1 was mainly expressed in sensilla placodea of antennae and possibly involved in perceiving plant volatiles and sex pheromones.These findings lay a foundation for further investigating the roles of SNMPs in the chemosensation of parasitoids. 展开更多

MicroRNAs(miRNAs),a class of non-coding single-strand RNA molecules encoded by endogenous genes,are about 21–24 nucleotides long and are involved in the post-transcriptional regulation of gene expression in plants and animals.Generally,the types and quantities of miRNAs in the different tissues of an organism are diverse,and these divergences may be related to their specific functions.Here we have identified 296 known miRNAs and 46 novel miRNAs in the antennae of the parasitoid wasp Microplitis mediator by high-throughput sequencing.Thirty-three miRNAs were predicted to target olfactory-associated genes,including odorant binding proteins(OBPs),chemosensory proteins,odorant receptors(ORs),ionotropic receptors(IRs)and gustatory receptors.Among these,17 miRNAs were significantly highly expressed in the antennae,four miRNAs were highly expressed both in the antennae and head or wings,while the remaining 12 miRNAs were mainly expressed in the head,thorax,abdomen,legs and wings.Notably,miR-9a-5p and miR-2525-3p were highly expressed in male antennae,whereas miR-1000-5p and novel-miR-13 were enriched in female antennae.The 17 miRNAs highly expressed in antennae are likely to be associated with olfaction,and were predicted to target one OBP(targeted by miR-3751-3p),one IR(targeted by miR-7-5p)and 14 ORs(targeted by 15 miRNAs including miR-6-3p,miR-9a-5p,miR-9b-5p,miR-29-5p,miR-71-5p,miR-275-3p,miR-1000-5p,miR-1000-3p,miR-2525-3p,miR-6012-3p,miR-9719-3p,novel-miR-10,novel-miR-13,novel-miR-14 and novel-miR-28).These candidate olfactory-associated miRNAs are all likely to be involved in chemoreception through the regulation of chemosensory gene expression in the antennae of M.mediator. 展开更多

Niemann-Pick type C2 (NPC2) is a type of small soluble protein involved in lipid metabolism and triglyceride accumulation in vertebrates and arthropods. Recent stud- ies have determined that NPC2 also participates in chemical communication of arthropods. In this work, two novel NPC2 proteins (MmedNPC2a and MmedNPC2b) in Microplitis mediator were identified. Real-time quantitative PCR (qPCR) analysis revealed that Mmed- NPC2a was expressed higher in the antennae than in other tissues of adult wasps compared with MmedNPC2b. Subsequent immunolocalization results demonstrated that NPC2a was located in the lymph cavities of sensilla placodea. To further explore the binding charac- terization of recombinant MmedNPC2a to 54 candidate odor molecules, a fluorescence binding assay was performed. It was found MmedNPC2a could not bind with selected fatty acids, such as linoleic acid, palmitic acid, stearic acid and octadecenoic acid. How- ever, seven cotton volatiles, 4-ethylbenzaldehyde, 3,4-dimethylbenzaldehyde, fl-ionone, linalool, m-xylene, benzaldehyde and trans-2-hexen-l-al showed certain binding abilities with MmedNPC2a. Moreover, the predicted 3D model of MmedNPC2a was composed of seven r-sheets and three pairs of disulfide bridges. In this model, the key binding residues for oleic acid in CjapNPC2 of Camponotus japonicus, Lue68, Lys69, Lys70, Phe97, Thr103 and Phe127, are replaced with Phe85, Ser86, His87, Leu113, Tyr119 and Ile143 in MmedNPC2a, respectively. We proposed that MmedNPC2a in M. mediator may play roles in perception of plant volatiles. 展开更多
