Background and Objectives: Circular RNAs were known to play vital role in myocardial ischemia reperfusion injury (MIRI), while the role of CircZNF609 in MIRI remains unclear. This study was aimed to investigate the function of CircZNF609 in MIRI. Methods: Hypoxia/reoxygenation (H/R) model was established to mimic MIRI in vitro. Quantitative polymerase chain reaction was performed to evaluate gene transcripts. Cellular localization of CircZNF609 and miR-214-3p were visualized by fluorescence in situ hybridization. Cell proliferation was determined by CCK-8. TUNEL assay and flow cytometry were applied to detect apoptosis. Lactate dehydrogenase was determined by commercial kit. ROS was detected by DCFH-DA probe. Direct interaction of indicated molecules was determined by RIP and dual luciferase assays. Western blot was used to quantify protein levels. In vivo model was established to further test the function of CircZNF609 in MIRI. Results: CircZNF609 was upregulated in H/R model. Inhibition of CircZNF609 alleviated H/R induced apoptosis, ROS generation, restored cell proliferation in cardiomyocytes and human umbilical vein endothelial cells. Mechanically, CircZNF609 directly sponged miR-214-3p to release PTGS2 expression. Functional rescue experiments showed that miR-214-3p/PTGS2 axis was involved in the function of circZNG609 in H/R model. Furthermore, data in mouse model revealed that knockdown of CircZNF609 significantly reduced the area of myocardial infarction and decreased myocardial cell apoptosis. Conclusions: CircZNF609 aggravated the progression of MIRI via targeting miR-214-3p/PTGS2 axis, which suggested CircZNF609 might act as a vital modulator in MIRI.

In pursuit of poly(ethylene 2,5-furandicarboxylate) PEF materials with high molecular weight,satisfactory appearance and faster crystallization rate, its preparation from dimethyl furan-2,5-dicarboxylate (DMFD) with ethylene glycol (EG) in the trace presence of metal zinc was performed viatransesterification method. Optimization of the main polymerization parameters enabled Zn-catalyzedPEF to gain high molecular weight (Mn, 5.40 104 g mol 1) and low content of diethylene glycolfurandicarboxylate unit (DEGF, 2.91%). On the basis of experimental phenomena and high performanceliquid chromatography (HPLC), the actual catalytic active species of metal zinc in the polymerization wasspeculated to be a salt of 2, 5-furandicarboxylate derivative (Zn(II)). The in-stiu catalyst can efficaciouslyinhibit the influence of by-product FDCA on the color of PEF, which displayed quite better appearance(close to white). Differential Scanning Calorimetry (DSC) showed that the in-stiu catalytic system acted asnucleating agent (NA) and the crystallization half-time (t1/2) of PEFs-Zn was only 1/4 of that of PEF-tin. Additionally, series of high molecular weight furan-based polyesters from DMFD and diols with differentmethylene (3, 5, 6 and 8) were obtained by zinc powder as in-stiu catalyst, which further evidenced it tobe efficiency and universality.

Lycopene b-cyclase (LCYb) is involved in the first step of the b-branch synthetic pathway of carotenoids from lycopene in plants. In this study, to explore the possibility of regulating b-carotene synthesis via the b-branchspecific pathway in potato, StLCYb gene was first isolated from potato cultivar Desiree, and its open reading frame was 1503 bp long without intron. The protein sequence of StLCYb showed high similarity with that of LCYbs in other species such as SlLCYb1, CaLCYb, NtLCYb and ApLCYb. StLCYb was expressed in all tissues and the highest level was observed in tubers followed in flowers, and the lowest level was in roots. HPLC detected an about 1.5–1.9 times increase in b-carotene content of transgenic potato tubers, in which the gene StLCYb was overexpressed, compared with the wild-type control. Besides, the expression levels of carotenoid-related genes StPSY, StPDS, StZDS, StCHYb and StZEP transcripts in the transgenic lines were significantly higher than in the wild-type control, which implied a positive regulation in promoting carotenoid synthesis. All these results suggest that b-carotene content in potato tubers could be regulated by modulating StLCYb expression.

HMGB1 is associated with human cancers and is an activator of autophagy which mediates chemotherapy resistance. We here show that the mRNA levels of HMGB1 are high in leukemia cells and it is involved in the progression of childhood chronic myeloid leukemia (CML). HMGB1 decreases the sensitivity of human myeloid leukemia cells K562 to anti-cancer drug induced death through up-regulating the autophagy pathway, which is confirmed by the observation with an increase in fusion of autophagosomes and autophagolysosomes. When overexpressing HMGB1, both mRNA levels of Beclin-1, VSP34 and UVRAG which are key genes involved in mammalian autophagy and protein levels of p-Bcl-2 and LC3-II are increased. Luciferase assays document that over-expression of HMGB1 increases the transcriptional activity of JNK and ERK, which may be silenced by siRNA. The results suggest that HMGB1 regulates JNK and ERK required for autophagy, which provides a potential drug target for therapeutic interventions in childhood CML. [BMB reports 2011; 44(9): 601-606]
