Yunnan Baiyao is a famous Chinese medicine that has long been directly applied to wounds to reduce bleeding, pain, and swelling without causing infection. However, little is known about its ability to prevent infection. The present study aimed to assess in vitro the anti-virulence activity of an aqueous extract of Yunnan Baiyao (YBX) using Pseudomonas aeruginosa as a pathogenic model. We found that a sub-MIC (2.5 mg/ml) of YBX can efficiently interfere with the quorum-sensing (QS) signaling circuit. Real-time polymerase chain reaction analysis showed that a sub-MIC of YBX downregulated the transcriptions of lasR, lasI, rhlR, and rhlI,which resulted in global attenuation of QS-regulated virulence activities, such as biofilm formation, and secretion of LasA protease, LasB elastase and pyocyanin. Further, YBX reduced the motility of P. aeruginosa related to QS, and impaired the formation of biofilms. These results suggest that YBX may possess global inhibitory activity against the virulence of P. aeruginosa and that YBX may also exhibit antimicrobial activity in vivo. The present study suggests that Yunnan Baiyao represents a potential source for isolating novel, safe, and efficacious antimicrobial agents.

Although enhancer of zeste homolog 2 (EZH2) has been reported as an independent prognostic factor in renal cell carcinoma (RCC), little is known about the exact mechanism of EZH2 in promoting the genesis of RCC. However, several studies have shown that dysregulation of the Wnt/${\beta}$-catenin signaling pathway plays a crucial role. Therefore, we determined whether EZH2 could affect ACHN human RCC cell proliferation and invasion via the Wnt/${\beta}$-catenin pathway. In the present study, we investigated the effects of short interfering RNA (siRNA)-mediated EZH2 gene silencing on Wnt/${\beta}$-catenin signaling in ACHN cells. EZH2-siRNA markedly inhibited the proliferation and invasion capabilities of ACHN, while also reducing the expression of EZH2, Wnt3a and ${\beta}$-catenin. In contrast, cellular expression of GSK-$3{\beta}$ (glycogen synthase kinase-$3{\beta}$), an inhibitor of the Wnt/${\beta}$-catenin pathway, was conspicuously higher after transfection of EZH2 siRNA. These preliminary findings suggest EZH2 may promote proliferation and invasion of ACHN cells via action on the Wnt/${\beta}$-catenin signaling pathway.

Thinopyrum elongatum serves as an excellent gene pool for wheat improvement. Genes for resistance to many biotic and abiotic stresses have been transferred from Th. elongatum to wheat through chromosome manipulation. For breeding programs,molecular markers enable screening of a large number of genotypes for alien chromosome introgressions. The main objective of the present study was to develop and characterize EST (expressed sequence tags) and PLUG (PCR-based Landmark Unique Gene) markers that can distinguish Th. elongatum chromatin from the wheat genomes. A total of 258 mapped EST primer pairs and 46 PLUG primer pairs were tested on DNA from wheat Chinese Spring (CS) and CS-Th. elongatum addition lines. The results showed that 43 primer pairs could be effectively mapped to specific Th. elongatum chromosomes. Twenty-two of the 43 markers displayed similar homoeologous chromosome locations to hexaploid wheat. Nine markers mapped to different linkage groups between wheat and Th. elongatum, while 12 makers mapped on two or three different Th. elongatum chromosomes. A comparison of molecular marker locations indicated that Th. elongatum genome was closely related to the D genome of wheat, and chromosome rearrangements and duplication had occurred in Th. elongatum and the wheat genomes. The markers will be useful in comparative gene mapping, chromosome evolutionary analysis, and gene introgression for wheat improvement using Th. elongatum accessions as gene donors.
