Cloning of the ZoWRKY1 Gene and its Correlation with 6-gingerol Biosynthesis in Zingiber officinale Roscoe

Ginger(Zingiber officinale Roscoe)has high economic value as medicinal and food resources.6-gingerol is the core medicinal constituents of ginger.In the present study,a local ginger cultivar of Chongqing was taken as the research material.The ZoWRKY1 gene was cloned to determine its expression level in different ginger developmental phases and to analyze its correlation with 6-gingerol content.The expression level of ZoWRKY1 under different concentrations of NaCl stress was tested,and so was the correlation between ZoWRKY1’s expression level and the contents of 6-gingerol synthase genes,i.e.ZoPAL,ZoC4H and Zo4CL.The results showed that the cDNA of the cloned ZoWRKY1 gene is 1026 bp in total length,and ZoWRKY1 belongs to the second type member of the WRKY family;the expression level of ZoWRKY1 rose sharply in the second developmental phase of the ginger which was about one month after sowing,and there was a significant correlation between the expression level of ZoWRKY1 and the increase of 6-gingerol content;the expressions of ZoWRKY1 and 6-gingerol synthase genes ZoPAL,ZoC4H and Zo4CL had sharp rises under 25 g/L NaCl stress,and the expression level of ZoWRKY1 was closely related to that of ZoC4H or Zo4CL.Therefore,it was speculated that there was a regulatory correlation between ZoWRKY1 and ZoC4H or Zo4CL that can further affect the biosynthesis of 6-gingerol.

Facile Synthetic Design and Characterization of Curcumin-Metformin Adduct： Potential Insights into the Role of This Conjugate in Diseases of Aging

Recently, the anti-glycation and anticancer properties of curcumin longa and okra seed extract were studied alone and also in combination with the well-established drug metformin. The combined effect of curcumin with metformin and metformin with okra seed extract was found to be highly efficacious in inhibiting Advanced Glycation End-products （AGEs）. In order to understand the mechanistic implications of curcumin combined with metformin and its enhanced anti-glycation activity, a Curcumin-Metformin Adduct was chemically synthesized. This adduct was fully characterized by thin-layer chromatography, Nano Drop spectrophotometry and electrospray-ionization mass spectrometry. The adduct may be helpful not only in elucidating the mechanism of anti-glycation and anti-cancer activities but also in studying the role of curcumin in binding of AI3-oligomers and disaggregating fibrillar formation in Alzheimer＇s disease.

Curcumin down-regulates PCNA,cyclin D1 and Bcl-X_L expression in human keratinocyte cell lines

Objective：To evaluate the effects of curcumin on regulating the proliferation,cell cycle distribution,apoptosis and relevant mechanisms in keratinocyte cell lines.Methods：The human immortalized human keratinocyte lines（HaCaT cells） were treated with different doses of curcumin.The effects of curcumin on cell viability were measured by MTT assay,and the cell cycle distribution and apoptosis determined by flow cytometry.The mRNA expression changes of proliferating cell nuclear antigen（PCNA）,cyclin D1 and Bcl-xL were from real-time PCR analysis and the protein levels were detected by Western blotting.Results：Data obtained in the study showed that curcumin could cause significantly inhibitory effect on proliferation in HaCaT cells in a time- and dose-dependent manner.Cell arrest at G1/S phase and significant apoptosis were observed after being treated with curcumin for 24 h.In association with these,the expression of PCNA,cyclin D1 and Bcl-xL were decreased both at mRNA and protein levels for the same treatment.Conclusion：Curcumin can inhibit proliferation,induce cell arrest at G1/S phase and cause apoptosis in HaCaT cells.The decreased expression of PCNA,cyclin D1 and Bcl-xL induced by curcumin contributes to the above effects in vitro.

Study on the separation and mechanism of the enzymolysis of Dioscorea Zingiberensis

Based on a through study of the chemical compositions of Dioscorea Zingiberensis, a new separation technology is presented in this paper. This technology can effectively separate the starch and cellulose from Dioscorea Zingiberensis, thus the output of diosgenin is raised by 20%. Meanwhile using the suspension after separation, the synergy of enzymes, which are under the best condition for enzymolysis is studied, and an enzymolysis model, which uses two enzymes at the same time, is established. This model provides a theoretical basis for finding new enzyme resources. What＇s more orthogonal experiments show that by using this model, either the output of diosgenin can be increased by 50.58% or the amount of acid used can be reduced by 83% which means less pollution.

Synthesis and anticancer activity containing benzyl piperidone study of curcumin-related compounds

Sixteen curcumin-related compounds containing benzyl piperidone were synthesized and evaluated for their anticancer activity by the MTT assay towards cultured prostate cancer （PC-3）, pancreatic cancer （BxPC-3）, colon cancer （HT-29）, and lung cancer （H1299） cells. Compounds A1 and B3 exhibited potent growth inhibitory effects against these cells in culture. The IC50 values of these compounds were lower than 1 μM in all four cell lines.
