Natriuretic peptides(NPs) play an important role in myotube formation and fat oxidation of skeletal muscle in animals. The effect of C-type natriuretic peptide(CNP), an important member of the NPs, and its underlying molecular mechanisms in skeletal muscle are incompletely understood. Treatment of myoblasts with CNP led to enhanced proliferation/differentiation and significantly upregulated(P<0.05) m RNA expression of the CNP receptors natriuretic peptide receptor B(NPRB) and the clearance receptor C(NPRC). In cells exposed to CNP, 142 differentially expressed genes(84 up-regulation and 58 down-regulation)(P<0.05) were identified by RNA-sequencing compared with those in control cells. Sixteen genes were significantly enriched(P<0.05) in the metabolic pathway, and six of them(phospholipase C β4, phospholipase C β2, phosphoglycerate mutase 1, creatine kinase B, peroxiredoxin 6 and CD38) were closely related to skeletal muscle development and differentially expressed. In conclusion, CNP stimulated differentiation of myoblasts by upregulating expression of the NPRB and NPRC receptors and enriching key genes in the metabolic pathway.展开更多

The results showed that the anther of Euphorbia pulcherrima had four chambers. The development of anther wall was dicotyledonous type; its wall consisted of epidermis, endothecium, middle layer and tapetum. The mature male gametophyte development experienced seven major stages as the followings： archesporial cells, aporgenous cells, microspore mother cells, tetrads of microspores （tetrahedral）, uninucleate microspores, 2-uncleate pollens and 2-celled pollen stage. The anther wall varied with the pollen development： the epidermis of anther ruptures at the anther mature stage; the middle layer disappears at tetrad stage; the endothelium became fibrous layer at the anther mature stage; the tapetum （glandular） was the most development at the microspore mother cells stage and disappeared at anther mature stage. The abnormal anther development was observed simultaneously.展开更多
