The recombinant was identified by lawn-PCR and double enzyme digestion and then transformed into expression host XA90 and induced by isopropyl-a-D-thiogalactoside (IPTG) to express 100 kD polypeptide of G6PDH fusion protein. The results showed that the expressed amount of the fusion protein culminated after 1 mmol·L^-1 IPTG treatment for 4h and that pET-G product was predominately soluble and not extra-cellular secreting.展开更多

Suaveolens, using primers based on the highly conserved region of published plant glucose-6-phosphate dehydro- genase (G6PDH) genes. The sequence analysis showed that PsG6PDH coding region had 1 101 bp and encoded 367 predicted amino acid residues. Moreover, the nucleotide sequence of PsG6PDH showed 83%, 82%, 79%, 79% and 78% identity, and the derived amino acid sequence shared 44.2%, 44.7%, 42.0%, 40.5% and 43.9% identity with those of the Solanum tuberosum, Nicotiana ta- bacum, Triticum aestivum, Oryza sativa and Arabidopsis thaliana, respectively. The results show that PsG6PDH is a new member of G6PDH gene family and belongs to the cytosolic G6PDH gene. This is the first report on cloning of the G6PDH gene from woody plants.展开更多

The enzyme was purified 123.69 fold with a yield of 21.37% by ammonium sulphate fractionation, PEG-4000 precipitation, CM cellulose column chromatography and DEAE cellulose column chromatography. The catalytically active enzyme is a dimer of 113 KDa with a subunit molecular weight of 55 KDa. Thermal inactivation of enzyme follows first order kinetics at 30°C and 40°C with half life of 6 and 1.5 min respectively. Km value for glucose-6-phosphate and NADP+ was found to be 2.68 mM and 0.75 mM respectively whereas Vmax value was found to be 0.11 U/mL and 0.13 U/mL respectively. The enzyme shows more affinity towards NADP+ than glucose-6-phosphate. The pKa value was found to be 10.41 indicating that the amino acid residue at active site might be lysine. The enzyme exhibited maximum catalytic activity at pH 8.2. The enzyme was found to be highly thermosensitive with gradual loss of activity above 30°C temperature.展开更多

Body Mass Index and Waist-to-Hip Ratio were taken as a measure of generalized obesity and abdominal adiposity. The serum concentration of glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase increased with increasing levels of Body Mass Index and was found to be significant in obese subjects (Body Mass Index ≥ 30.0 kg/m2) and more so in the obese subjects with abdominal adiposity (p = 0.002) as compared to normal-weight subjects. Karl Pearson coefficient of correlation revealed a significant positive correlation of glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase with Body Mass Index (r = 0.499;p < 0.001) and malondialdehyde (a biomarker of oxidative stress) (r = 0.736;p < 0.001) but inverse correlation with adiponectin (r = -0.524;p < 0.001). Thus, we conclude that increased expression of glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase in obese subjects (more if it is associated with abdominal adiposity) might mediate the onset of obesity associated metabolic disorders by increasing oxidative stress.展开更多

G6PD deficiency is an X-linked genetic condition, which is more likely to affect males than females. Heterozygous females go undetected in a commonly used method. The aim of the study was to identify & rationalize different biochemical methods for detections of G6PD deficiency. Methods: Cross section retrospective study was conducted on 1584 (800 males, 784 females) blood samples collected from King Abdulaziz University Hospital (KAUH) and King Fahd Armed force hospital (KFAFH) in Jeddah, Western Saudi Arabia. Blood samples were screened for G6PD activity by fluorescence spot test, semi quantitative color reduction test and spectrometric quantitative evaluation. Hemoglobin (Hb) was measured on the same sample by BC-3200 Auto hematology Analyser. G6PD activity was recorded as U/g Hb. Samples identified as deficient with cutoff ≤4.6 U/gHb. Results: The prevalence of G6PD deficiency identified by fluorescence spot test was 73(4.6%) and all were deficient male. By semi quantitative method, the prevalence rate was 51(3.2%) and again all were male deficit patients. However, when quantitative spectrometric method was used, the prevalence was found in 90(5.7%), where in 73(4.6%) deficient patients were males and 17(1.1%) were females. Conclusion: Since the fluorescence spot test did not miss any G6PD deficient male, it should be restricted to males and quantitative test should be done on females. Each ethnic group should cultivate their own cutoff value for categorization of deficient patients.展开更多

We found that 7.31% (19 of 260) males and 4.35% (10 of 230) females had G6PD deficiency. The molecular analysis of G6PD gene exons 2―13 was performed by a PCR-DHPLC-Sequencing or PCR-Sequencing. Sixteen inde-pendent subjects with G6PD Mahidol (487G>A) and the new polymorphism IVS5-612 (G>C), which combined into a novel haplotype, were identified accounting for 84.2% (16/19). And 100% Achang G6PD Mahidol were linked to the IVS5-612 C. The percentage of G6PD Mahidol in the Achang group is close to that in the Myanmar population (91.3% 73/80), which implies that there are some gene flows between Achang and Myanmar populations. Interestingly, G6PD Canton (1376G>T) and G6PD Kaiping (1388G>A), which were the most common G6PD variants from other ethnic groups in China, were not found in this Achang group, suggesting that there are different G6PD mutation profiles in the Achang group and other ethnic groups in China. Our findings appear to be the first documented report on the G6PD genetics of the AChang people, which will provide important clues to the Achang ethnic group origin and will help prevention and treatment of malaria in this area.展开更多

The kit is easy to use and to get the fast as well as reliable results. Especially it is suitable for the anti malaria spots usually located in the remote countryside where no electricity is available. Methods The double filter paper method and other 2 techniques, the quantitative method and the single filter paper method, were used to determine G6PD activity in 70 samples of human erythrocytes. It was found that the results of the double filter paper method and those of the single filter paper method in the first 8 hours after the drying of the blood soaked filter paper were consistent with those of the quantitative method. When a piece of blood soaked paper is left under room temperature more than 24 hours, G6PD in the erythrocytes deteriorated spontaneously and consequently the number of positive cases increased along with the elapse of time.Results Satisfactory results were achieved when the kit was used to screen cases of G6PD defect from 151 farmers who were receiving anti mararia therapy. The kit was made according to a technique named “double filter paper” method.Conclusions These findings suggest that the double filter paper method can reveal the level of G6PD activity and the results are rapidly obtained when the method is used on the anti malaria spot.展开更多

Methods The rat model with G6PD-deficiency was established via sc injecting 1% acetylphenyl-hydrazine. Then the G6PD-deficient erythrocyte suspension obtained from this rat model was used to evaluate the hemolytic effects of PUE and the reducing hemolytic effects of PEG-PUE via hemolytic activity and erythrocyte osmotic fragility assay. Results It was found that PUE could cause a serious hemolysis to the erythrocyte suspension with the increase of drug concentration and the prolongation of drug incubation time, the hemolytic rate of PUE was up to 40%, while the addition of PEG-PUE to the erythrocyte suspension revealed no significant hemolysis. Additionally, the result of erythrocyte osmotic fragility indicated that PEG-PUE exerted a slight effect on the erythrocyte membranes, and the NaCl concentration that induced 50% hemolysis (32 mmol/L) was about one-third PUE. Conclusion These results demonstrate that PEG-PUE could play a significant role in reducing the side effect of hemolysis induced by PUE. The low hemolytic activity of PEG-PUE makes it a favorable candidate for in vivo tests and PEG-PUE could also provide the useful insight for the further formulation development as an innovative drug.展开更多

Methods: Sixty-two patients scheduled for esophagus surgery were randomly divided into three groups: group Ⅰ (n = 20) receiving only general anesthesia(GA) followed by intravenous patient controlled analgesia(PCA) with fentanyl 15 μg/kg. The other two groups receiving both general anesthesia combined with thoracic epidural anesthesia (GEA) and either intravenous PCA with fentanyl 15 μg/kg (group Ⅱ, n = 21) or thoracic epidural analgesia(TEA) with 0.125% ropivacaine and 0.0002% fentanyl mixture(group Ⅲ, n = 21) after the operation. Venous blood samples were collected for measurements of PFK, G-rPD and AR activities in erythrocytes and plasma glucose, cortisol, epinephrine and norepinephrine before induction (T1), 60 min following the incision (T2), 60 min(T3) after operation, on the lst(T4) and 2nd postoperative day(T5). Results: The activities of PFK decreased(P 〈 0.01 or P = 0.004) and the activities of G-6PD and AR increased(P 〈 0.01) in groups Ⅰ and Ⅱ on T4 compared with those on T1 Between the two groups, the activities of these enzymes in group Ⅱ changed less than those of group Ⅰ (P 〈 0.01 or P 〈 0.05). These enzymes activities changed slightly in group Ⅲ on T4(P 〉 0.05). There were significant differences between group Ⅲand the other two groups(P 〈 0.0l or P 〈 0.05). The levels of plasma glucose increased significantly on T2(P 〈 0.01), reached peak values on Ta(P 〈 0.01) and fell on T5 in the three groups. Compared to those of groups Ⅰ and Ⅱ, the values of plasma glucose in group Ⅲwere lower on T4 and T5(P 〈 0.05 or P 〈 0.01). The cortisol concentration in each group increased significantly at T2(P 〈 0.01 or P 〈 0.05), and remained elevated on T5(P 〈 0.01 or P 〈 0.05), while on T2 and T3 the cortisol levels' of group I were higher than that of groups Ⅱand Ⅲ (P 〈 0.05). The levels of group Ⅲ were lower than those of the other groups on T4 and T5(P 〈 0.01 or P 〈 0.05). The levels of epinephrine and norepinephrine were also significantly higher in group Ⅰ than those of the other two groups on T2(P 〈 0.01 or P 〈 0.05), and their levels in group Ⅰ and Ⅱ were higher than that of group Ⅲ on T4. The patients of the three groups obtained satisfactory pain relief, with all Vidual Analogue Scale(VAS) scores less than 3. VAS scores of group I were much greater 4h after operation. Group m VAS scores were the lowest 24h after operation. However, the number of times patients pressed the bolus switch was higher in group Ⅱ (P 〈 0.01). Conclusion: Compared with GA and intravenous PCA, general anesthesia combined with thoracic epidural anesthesia and analgesia obtain better pain relief and could markedly alleviate the stress response and improve these erythrocyte glucose metabolism changes after esophagus surgery.展开更多

We have constructed an Escherichia coli K12 strain with a deleted pgi gene (Δpgi) and shown that this strain in comparison with the parental strain 1) accumulates higher amount of G6Ph, 2) grows slowly, and 3) exhibits higher spontaneous mutation frequency to rifampicin resistance (Rifr), when grown on high glucose minimal medium. Intriguingly, the spontaneous mutation rate to Rifr was inversely related to the degree of E. coli chromosomal DNA modification with sugar derivatives. We measured higher concentrations of Amadori products, fluorophores (360 nm excitation/440 nm emission) and carboxymethyl residues in the chromosomal DNA of the E. coli parental strain than in DNA of the isogenic Δpgi strain. To explain this apparent paradox we hypothesized that PGI might be implicated in repair of G6Ph-derived lesions in DNA. In favor of our hypothesis, we further demonstrate that protein extract from the E. coli PGI proficient strain but not from the PGI deficient strain catalyzes the release of G6Ph from G6Ph-modified single stranded DNA oligonucleotide and from its hybrid duplex with a complementary peptide nucleic acid.展开更多

By semi quantitative method, the prevalence rate was 51(3.2%) and again all were male deficit patients. However, when quantitative spectrometric method was used, the prevalence was found in 90(5.7%), where in 73(4.6%) deficient patients were males and 17(1.1%) were females. Conclusion: Since the fluorescence spot test did not miss any G6PD deficient male, it should be restricted to males and quantitative test should be done on females. Each ethnic group should cultivate their own cutoff value for categorization of deficient patients.

文摘The prevalence of glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase (G6PD) deficiency and its gene mutations were studied in the Achang population from Lianghe County in Southwestern China. We found that 7.31% (19 of 260) males and 4.35% (10 of 230) females had G6PD deficiency. The molecular analysis of G6PD gene exons 2―13 was performed by a PCR-DHPLC-Sequencing or PCR-Sequencing. Sixteen inde-pendent subjects with G6PD Mahidol (487G>A) and the new polymorphism IVS5-612 (G>C), which combined into a novel haplotype, were identified accounting for 84.2% (16/19). And 100% Achang G6PD Mahidol were linked to the IVS5-612 C. The percentage of G6PD Mahidol in the Achang group is close to that in the Myanmar population (91.3% 73/80), which implies that there are some gene flows between Achang and Myanmar populations. Interestingly, G6PD Canton (1376G>T) and G6PD Kaiping (1388G>A), which were the most common G6PD variants from other ethnic groups in China, were not found in this Achang group, suggesting that there are different G6PD mutation profiles in the Achang group and other ethnic groups in China. Our findings appear to be the first documented report on the G6PD genetics of the AChang people, which will provide important clues to the Achang ethnic group origin and will help prevention and treatment of malaria in this area.
文摘Objective To prepare a kit for screening individuals with glucose 6 phosphate dehydrogenase (G6PD) defect. The kit is easy to use and to get the fast as well as reliable results. Especially it is suitable for the anti malaria spots usually located in the remote countryside where no electricity is available. Methods The double filter paper method and other 2 techniques, the quantitative method and the single filter paper method, were used to determine G6PD activity in 70 samples of human erythrocytes. It was found that the results of the double filter paper method and those of the single filter paper method in the first 8 hours after the drying of the blood soaked filter paper were consistent with those of the quantitative method. When a piece of blood soaked paper is left under room temperature more than 24 hours, G6PD in the erythrocytes deteriorated spontaneously and consequently the number of positive cases increased along with the elapse of time.Results Satisfactory results were achieved when the kit was used to screen cases of G6PD defect from 151 farmers who were receiving anti mararia therapy. The kit was made according to a technique named “double filter paper” method.Conclusions These findings suggest that the double filter paper method can reveal the level of G6PD activity and the results are rapidly obtained when the method is used on the anti malaria spot.

文摘Objective To explore and analyze the reducing hemolytic effects of PEGylated puerarin (PEG-PUE) on erythrocytes induced by PUE in glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase (G6PD)-deficient rats. Methods The rat model with G6PD-deficiency was established via sc injecting 1% acetylphenyl-hydrazine. Then the G6PD-deficient erythrocyte suspension obtained from this rat model was used to evaluate the hemolytic effects of PUE and the reducing hemolytic effects of PEG-PUE via hemolytic activity and erythrocyte osmotic fragility assay. Results It was found that PUE could cause a serious hemolysis to the erythrocyte suspension with the increase of drug concentration and the prolongation of drug incubation time, the hemolytic rate of PUE was up to 40%, while the addition of PEG-PUE to the erythrocyte suspension revealed no significant hemolysis. Additionally, the result of erythrocyte osmotic fragility indicated that PEG-PUE exerted a slight effect on the erythrocyte membranes, and the NaCl concentration that induced 50% hemolysis (32 mmol/L) was about one-third PUE. Conclusion These results demonstrate that PEG-PUE could play a significant role in reducing the side effect of hemolysis induced by PUE. The low hemolytic activity of PEG-PUE makes it a favorable candidate for in vivo tests and PEG-PUE could also provide the useful insight for the further formulation development as an innovative drug.

文摘Salt stress negatively affects plant growth,and the fungal endophyte Epichloëgansuensis increases the tolerance of its host grass species,Achnatherum inebrians,to abiotic stresses.In this work,we first evaluated the effects of E.gansuensis on glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase(G6PDH)and plasma membrane(PM)H^(+)-ATPase activity of Achnatherum inebrians plants under varying NaCl concentrations.Our results showed that the presence of E.gansuensis increased G6PDH,PMH^(+)-ATPase,superoxide dismutase and catalase activity to decrease O2•^(–),H_(2)O_(2)and Na^(+)contents in A.inebrians under NaCl stress,resulting in enhanced salt tolerance.In addition,the PM NADPH oxidase activity and NADPH/NADP+ratios were all lower in A.inebrians with E.ganusensis plants than A.inebrians plants without this endophyte under NaCl stress.In conclusion,E.gansuensis has a positive role in improving host grass yield under NaCl stress by enhancing the activity of G6PDH and PM H^(+)-ATPase to decrease ROS content.This provides a new way for the selection of stress-resistant and high-quality forage varieties by the use of systemic fungal endophytes.

文摘Objective: To compare the effects of different methods of anesthesia and analgesia on the activities of phosphofructokinase(PFK), glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase(G-6PD) and aldose reductase(AR) in erythrocytes and levels of plasma glucose and stress hormones in patients undergoing esophagus surgery. Methods: Sixty-two patients scheduled for esophagus surgery were randomly divided into three groups: group Ⅰ (n = 20) receiving only general anesthesia(GA) followed by intravenous patient controlled analgesia(PCA) with fentanyl 15 μg/kg. The other two groups receiving both general anesthesia combined with thoracic epidural anesthesia (GEA) and either intravenous PCA with fentanyl 15 μg/kg (group Ⅱ, n = 21) or thoracic epidural analgesia(TEA) with 0.125% ropivacaine and 0.0002% fentanyl mixture(group Ⅲ, n = 21) after the operation. Venous blood samples were collected for measurements of PFK, G-rPD and AR activities in erythrocytes and plasma glucose, cortisol, epinephrine and norepinephrine before induction (T1), 60 min following the incision (T2), 60 min(T3) after operation, on the lst(T4) and 2nd postoperative day(T5). Results: The activities of PFK decreased(P 〈 0.01 or P = 0.004) and the activities of G-6PD and AR increased(P 〈 0.01) in groups Ⅰ and Ⅱ on T4 compared with those on T1 Between the two groups, the activities of these enzymes in group Ⅱ changed less than those of group Ⅰ (P 〈 0.01 or P 〈 0.05). These enzymes activities changed slightly in group Ⅲ on T4(P 〉 0.05). There were significant differences between group Ⅲand the other two groups(P 〈 0.0l or P 〈 0.05). The levels of plasma glucose increased significantly on T2(P 〈 0.01), reached peak values on Ta(P 〈 0.01) and fell on T5 in the three groups. Compared to those of groups Ⅰ and Ⅱ, the values of plasma glucose in group Ⅲwere lower on T4 and T5(P 〈 0.05 or P 〈 0.01). The cortisol concentration in each group increased significantly at T2(P 〈 0.01 or P 〈 0.05), and remained elevated on T5(P 〈 0.01 or P 〈 0.05), while on T2 and T3 the cortisol levels' of group I were higher than that of groups Ⅱand Ⅲ (P 〈 0.05). The levels of group Ⅲ were lower than those of the other groups on T4 and T5(P 〈 0.01 or P 〈 0.05). The levels of epinephrine and norepinephrine were also significantly higher in group Ⅰ than those of the other two groups on T2(P 〈 0.01 or P 〈 0.05), and their levels in group Ⅰ and Ⅱ were higher than that of group Ⅲ on T4. The patients of the three groups obtained satisfactory pain relief, with all Vidual Analogue Scale(VAS) scores less than 3. VAS scores of group I were much greater 4h after operation. Group m VAS scores were the lowest 24h after operation. However, the number of times patients pressed the bolus switch was higher in group Ⅱ (P 〈 0.01). Conclusion: Compared with GA and intravenous PCA, general anesthesia combined with thoracic epidural anesthesia and analgesia obtain better pain relief and could markedly alleviate the stress response and improve these erythrocyte glucose metabolism changes after esophagus surgery.
文摘Phosphoglucose isomerase (PGI) is a key enzyme in early glycolysis, which catalyzes the reversible isomerization of glucose 6-phosphate (G6Ph) to fructose 6-phosphate. We have constructed an Escherichia coli K12 strain with a deleted pgi gene (Δpgi) and shown that this strain in comparison with the parental strain 1) accumulates higher amount of G6Ph, 2) grows slowly, and 3) exhibits higher spontaneous mutation frequency to rifampicin resistance (Rifr), when grown on high glucose minimal medium. Intriguingly, the spontaneous mutation rate to Rifr was inversely related to the degree of E. coli chromosomal DNA modification with sugar derivatives. We measured higher concentrations of Amadori products, fluorophores (360 nm excitation/440 nm emission) and carboxymethyl residues in the chromosomal DNA of the E. coli parental strain than in DNA of the isogenic Δpgi strain. To explain this apparent paradox we hypothesized that PGI might be implicated in repair of G6Ph-derived lesions in DNA. In favor of our hypothesis, we further demonstrate that protein extract from the E. coli PGI proficient strain but not from the PGI deficient strain catalyzes the release of G6Ph from G6Ph-modified single stranded DNA oligonucleotide and from its hybrid duplex with a complementary peptide nucleic acid.
