Transgenic NfFeSOD Sedum alfredii plants exhibited profound growth impairments and better relative tolerance to long-term abiotic stresses

Xiang Gao,Wen-Li Ai,Huan Gong,Li-Juan Cui,Bo-Xia Chen,Hong-Yi Luo,Zhong-Chun Zhang,Bao-Sheng Qiu 한국식물생명공학회 2016 Plant biotechnology reports Vol.10 No.2

Transgenic research was preformed by transferring a cyanobacterial (Nostoc flagelliforme) iron superoxide dismutase gene (NfFeSOD) into heavy metal hyperaccumulator Sedum alfredii via Agrobacterium-mediated method. Beyond expectation, NfFeSOD-overexpressing S. alfredii plants exhibited profound impairments, including plant growth retardation, abnormal root architecture, and reduced leaf greenness, photosynthetic efficiency and metal accumulation efficiency. Although transgenic plants appeared physiologically sensitive to high temperature, a higher relative biomass growth was still observed under long-term high temperature and osmotic stresses. Further investigation found that reactive oxygen species (ROS) homeostasis of transgenic plants was significantly affected, being ~50 % reduction of H2O2 level relative to wild-type plants. Gene transcription including ROS responsive genes was overall attenuated in transgenic plants, being more significant at normal temperature than at high temperature. In addition, ascorbate peroxidase (APX) activity was increased nearly twofolds in transgenic plants as compared to wild-type control. It may be inferred that ectopic NfFeSOD overexpression gives rise to a substantial increase of APX activity and leads to a sharp reduction of H2O2 level, thus impairing basal ROS signaling and plant growth. Specific genetic background of S. alfredii may be responsible for this sharp reduction of H2O2 level induced by NfFeSOD overexpression. S. alfredii plant has acclimated to elevated levels of ROS induced by heavy metals in native habitats and should require high ROS levels for basal signaling. We thus suppose that a sustained disturbance of high basal ROS signaling in metal hyperaccumulators may instead incur very sensitive response and thus result in profound growth impairments.

Molecular characterization and ligand-binding properties of six odorantbinding proteins (OBPs) from Aphis gossypii

Xue-Ke Gao,Shuai Zhang,Jun-Yu Luo,Chun-Yi Wang,Li-Min Lü,Li-Juan Zhang,Xiang-Zhen Zhu,Li Wang,Jin-Jie Cui 한국응용곤충학회 2018 Journal of Asia-Pacific Entomology Vol.21 No.3

Odorant-binding proteins (OBPs) play a significant role in the olfactory signal transduction of insects and help them locate hosts, oviposition sites, and mating partners. The sap-sucking insect, Aphis gossypii Glover (Homoptera: Aphididae), is a destructive cosmopolitan pest and yet the molecular mechanisms by which A. gossypii perceives pheromones and host volatiles remain unknown. In this study, we identified and characterized 6 OBPs, using the A. gossypii RNA-seq transcriptome dataset previously constructed in our laboratory. Real-time PCR indicated specific expression patterns of the 6 genes, which had different levels of expression based on development stage, tissue, morph, and life cycle. In addition, binding specificities of the 6 proteins investigated using the ligand-binding assays showed that all 6 OBPs exhibited high binding affinities towards Phlorizin dehydrate while AgosOBP3 and AgosOBP4 had strong affinity to beta-ionone and AgosOBP8 displayed higher binding affinities for Nerolidol and Cis-3-hexenyl acetate compared to other OBPs.

Gao Sheng-Xiang,An Ming-Jia,Mao Cun-Li,Xian Yan-Tuan,Yu Zheng-Tao 보안공학연구지원센터 2015 International Journal of Database Theory and Appli Vol.8 No.2

Relative to Chinese, as to Naxi Language, its corpus is very rare, its annotation is also difficult, and these factors make its Syntactic Analysis much too difficult. Aiming to the problem, in the paper, it is proposed a method for building Naxi Language Dependency Treebank based on Chinese-Naxi Language relationship alignment. Firstly, the corresponding words of Chinese-Naxi sentence pairs are aligned; then, the dependency grammar on Chinese sentences; Finally, some characteristics and rules of Naxi Language in itself being considered, the generated Chinese Dependency Tree is mapped to Naxi Sentence by using Chinese-Naxi Languages relationship alignment, as a result, Naxi Dependency Parsing Tree is generated. Experimental results show that: This approach can simplify the process of manual collection and annotation of Naxi Treebank, and save manpower and time to build the dependency treebank of Naxi Language.

Magnolol-Induced H460 Cells Death via Autophagy but Not Apoptosis

Li, Hai-Bo,Yi, Xin,Gao, Jian-Mei,Ying, Xi-Xiang,Guan, Hong-Quan,Li, Jian-Chun 대한약학회 2007 Archives of Pharmacal Research Vol.30 No.12

We have reported that the protective effect of Magnolol on TBHP-induced injury in human non-small lung cancer H460 cells is partially via a p53 dependent mechanism. In this study, we found that Magnolol displayed a stimulatory effect at low concentrations $(\leq20{\mu}M)$ whilst inhibitory effect at high concentrations $(\geq20{\mu}M)$ in H460 cells. To investigate the mechanism of inducing the biphasic effect in H460 cells with Magnolol, we showed that Magnolol stimulated DNA synthesis at low concentrations and displayed an inhibition effect at high concentrations in H460 cells. More importantly, the inhibition of DNA synthesis was accompanied by the S phase cell cycle arrest and the appearance of intense intracytoplasmic vacuoles. These vacuoles can be labeled by autophagic marker monodansylcadaverin (MDC), 3-methyladenine (3-MA), an inhibitor of autophagy, was able to inhibit the occurrence of autophagy. The results of the LDH activity assay and TUNEL assay also showed that Magnolol at high concentrations inhibiting H460 cell growth was not via apoptotic pathway. Furthermore, accompanied by the occurrence of autophagy, the expression of phospho-Akt was down-regulated but PTEN significantly was up-regulated. In conclusion, Magnolol induces H460 cells death by autophagy but not apoptotic pathway. Blockade of PI3K/PTEN/Akt pathway is maybe related to Magnolol-induced autophagy. Autophagic cells death induction by Magnolol underlines the potential utility of its induction as a new cancer treatment modality.

Examining the Effects of Vocabulary on Crowdfunding Success: A Comparison of Cultural and Commercial Campaigns

Xiang Gao,Weige Huang,Bin Li,Sunghan Ryu 한국경영정보학회 2022 Asia Pacific Journal of Information Systems Vol.32 No.2

Crowdfunding has emerged as an important financing source for diverse cultural projects and commercial ventures in the early stages. Unlike traditional investment evaluation, where structured financial data is critical, such information is typically unavailable for crowdfunding campaigns. Instead, campaign creators prepare pitches containing essential information about themselves and the campaigns, which are crucial in attracting and persuading contributors. Prior literature has examined the effects of different aspects in campaign pitches, but a comprehensive understanding of the theme is lacking. This study aims to fill this gap by identifying the lexicon of frequently used vocabulary in campaign pitches and examining how they are associated with crowdfunding success. Moreover, we examine how the association differs between culture and commercial crowdfunding campaigns. We randomly collected 50,000 campaigns from the cultural and commercial categories on Kickstarter and extracted the 100 most used verbs in the campaign pitches. Based on a machine learning approach combined with principal component analysis, we constructed sets of verbal factors statistically significant in predicting crowdfunding success. The findings also show that cultural and commercial campaigns consist of different verbal components with different effects on crowdfunding success.

Protective Effect of Magnolol on TBHP-Induced Injury in H460 Cells Partially via a p53 Dependent Mechanism

Gao, Jian-Mei,Ying, Xi-Xiang,Wang, Shu-Peng,Li, Jian-Chun,Li, Hai-Bo 대한약학회 2007 Archives of Pharmacal Research Vol.30 No.7

The aim is to investigate the effect of Magnolol preserved H460 cells from an oxidative agent tert-butylhydroperoxide (TBHP)-induced cell death. Magnolol augmented cell survival ratio after TBHP challenged. The protective action of this drug was more efficacious than that of N-acetylcysteine (NAC) which is a putative antioxidant. DNA damage, detected by the comet assay, was diminished after treatment of Magnolol. The cells viability decreased after treatment with 0.15 mM TBHP for 24 h, accompanied by inducing apoptotic death of the cells. Cytotoxicity and apoptosis induced by TBHP were significantly inhibited or attenuated after pretreatment with $20\;{\mu}M$ Magnolol. Magnolol contributes to the cells survival through downregulated the p53 phosphorylation and PTEN expression, and upregulated Akt phosphorylation. Taken together, Magnolol was effective against DNA single strand breaks (SSB) formation, cytotoxicity and lipid peroxidation induced by TBHP, and its effects on p53 phosphorlation, PTEN and Akt phosphorylation were due to its antioxidative function, and partially via a p53 dependent mechanism in this protective effects.

Objective: The objectives of this study were to evaluate the effects of daily feed intake during the laying period on embryonic myogenic differentiation 1 (MYOD1), myogenic factor 5 (MYF5), and myogenic factor 6 (MYF6) gene expression in genetically fat and lean lines of chickens. Methods: An experiment in a 2×2 factorial design was conducted with two dietary intake levels (100% and 75% of nutrition recommendation) and two broiler chicken lines (fat and lean). Two lines of hens (n = 384 for each line) at 23th week of age were randomly divided into 4 treatments with 12 replicates of 16 birds. The experiment started at 27th week of age (5% egg rate) and ended at 54th week of age. Hatched eggs from the medium laying period were collected. Real time polymerase chain reaction analysis was used to analyse the MYOD1, MYF5, and MYF6 mRNA levels of E7, E9, E11, E13, and E15 body tissues and E17, E19, and E21 chest and thigh muscle samples. Results: The results indicated that there were significant effects of line, dietary intake, and interactions between them on MYOD1, MYF5, and MYF6 gene mRNA expression levels in embryonic tissues. Low daily feed intake did not change the expression trend of MYOD1 mRNA in either line, but changed the peak values, especially in lean line. Low daily feed intake altered the trend in MYF5 mRNA expression level in both lines and apparently delayed its onset. There was no apparent effect of low daily feed intake on the trends of MYF6 mRNA expression levels in either line, but it significantly changed the values on many embryonic days. Conclusion: Maternal nutrient restriction affects myogenesis and is manifested in the expression of embryonic MYOD1, MYF5, and MYF6 genes. Long term selection for fat deposition in broiler chickens changes the pattern and intensity of myogenesis.

Overexpression of ENA1 from Yeast Increases Salt Tolerance in Arabidopsis

( Xiang Qiang Kong ),( Xiu Hua Gao ),( Wei Huan Li ),( Ji Qiang Zhao ),( Yan Xiu Zhao ),( Hui Zhang ) 한국식물학회 2008 Journal of Plant Biology Vol.51 No.2

In yeast, the plasma membrane Na+/H+ antiporter and Na+ -ATPase are key enzymes for salt tolerance. Saccharomyces cerevisiae Na+ -ATPase (Ena1p ATPase) is encoded by the ENA1/PMR2A gene; expression of ENA1 is tightly regulated by Na+ and depends on ambient pH. Although Ena1p is active mainly at alkaline pH values in S. cerevisiae, no Na+ -ATPase has been found in flowering plants. To test whether this yeast enzyme would improve salt tolerance in plants, we introduced ENA1 into Arabidopsis (cv. Columbia) under the control of the cauliflower mosaic virus 35S promoter. Transformants were selected for their ability to grow on a medium containing kanamyin. Southern blot analyses confirmed that ENA1 was transferred into the Arabidopsis genome and northern blot analyses showed that ENA1 was expressed in the transformants. Several transgenic homozygous lines and wild-type (WT) plants were evaluated for salt tolerance. No obvious morphological or developmental differences existed between the transgenic and WT plants in the absence of stress. However, overexpression of ENA1 in Arabidopsis improved seed germination rates and salt tolerance in seedlings. Under saline conditions, transgenic plants accumulated a lower amount of Na+ than did the wild type, and fresh and dry weights of the former were higher. Other experiments revealed that expression of ENA1 promoted salt tolerance in transgenic Arabidopsis under both acidic and alkaline conditions.
