And the effects on polyinerization of diacetylene and the change of the polymer vesicles’ color due to the relative quantity of glycolipid versus diacctylene molecules were also reported. The experimental results demonstrated that this approach is available and the colorchangeable property of such polydiacetylenic vesicles was not affected due to the inceorporation of glycolipid. This provided a simple and useful method of functonalizing the polymer vesicles for their wide applications.展开更多

In this study, third instar larvae of Chrysomya megacephala were injected with bacteria, Escherichia coli K 12 （10^6 CFU/mL, 2μL）, immediately prior to injection of inhibitors of eicosanoid biosynthesis, which sharply reduced nodulation response. Test larvae were treated with specific inhibitors ofphospholipase A2 （dexamethasone）, cyclo- oxygenase （indomethacin, ibuprofen and piroxicam）, dual cyclo-oxygenase/lipoxygenase （phenidone） and lipoxygenase （esculetin） and these reduced nodulation except esculetin. The influence of bacteria was obvious within 2 h of injection （5 nodules/larva）, and increased to a maximum after 8 h （with 15 nodules/larva）, and then significantly reduced over 24 h （9 nodules/larva）. The inhibitory influence of dexamethasone was apparent within 2 h of injection （4 vs. 5 nodules/larva）, and nodulation was significantly reduced, compared to control, over 24 h （5 vs. 8 nodules/larva）. Increased dosages of ibuprofen, indomethacin, piroxicam and phenidone led to decreased numbers of nodules. Nodules continued to exist during the pupal stage. However, the effects of dexamethasone were reversed by treating bacteria-injected insects with an eicosanoid-precursor polyunsaturated fatty acid, arachidonic acid. These findings approved our view that eicosanoid can mediate cellular defense mechanisms in response to bacterial infections in another Dipteran insect C. rnegacephala.展开更多

However, the slow discovery of new antimicrobial agents is unable to meet the need for the treatment of bacterial infections caused by drug-resistant strains. The interaction of L12 and L10 is essential for ribosomal function and protein synthesis. In this study, a yeast two-hybrid system was established to successfully detect the interaction between L12 and L10 proteins from gram-negative bacteria Escherichia coli, which allows us to screen compounds that specifically disrupt this interaction. With this system, we identified two compounds IMB-84 and IMB-87 that block L12-L10 interaction and show bactericidal activity against E. coli. We used glutathione-S-transferase(GST) pull-down and surface plasmon resonance(SPR) assays to demonstrate that these compounds disrupt L12-L10 interaction in vitro and the target of compounds was further confirmed by the overexpression of target proteins. Moreover, protein synthesis and elongation factor G-dependent GTPase activities are inhibited by two compounds. Therefore, we have identified two antibacterial agents that disrupt L12-L10 interaction by using yeast two-hybrid system.展开更多
