Viral clearance without destruction of infected cells during acute HBV infection     

Guidotti LG  Rochford R  Chung J  Shapiro M  Purcell R  Chisari FV 《Science (New York, N.Y.)》1999,284(5415):825-829

Viral clearance during hepatitis B virus (HBV) infection has been thought to reflect the destruction of infected hepatocytes by CD8(+) T lymphocytes. However, in this study, HBV DNA was shown to largely disappear from the liver and the blood of acutely infected chimpanzees long before the peak of T cell infiltration and most of the liver disease. These results demonstrate that noncytopathic antiviral mechanisms contribute to viral clearance during acute viral hepatitis by purging HBV replicative intermediates from the cytoplasm and covalently closed circular viral DNA from the nucleus of infected cells.  相似文献

We have constructed a physical map of the human genome by using a panel of 90 whole-genome radiation hybrids (the TNG panel) in conjunction with 40,322 sequence-tagged sites (STSs) derived from random genomic sequences as well as expressed sequences. Of 36,678 STSs on the TNG radiation hybrid map, only 3604 (9.8%) were absent from the unassembled draft sequence of the human genome. Of 20,030 STSs ordered on the TNG map as well as the assembled human genome draft sequence and the Celera assembled human genome sequence, 36% of the STSs had a discrepant order between the working draft sequence and the Celera sequence. The TNG map order was identical to one of the two sequence orders in 60% of these discrepant cases.  相似文献   

Functional links between Aβ toxicity, endocytic trafficking, and Alzheimer's disease risk factors in yeast     

Treusch S  Hamamichi S  Goodman JL  Matlack KE  Chung CY  Baru V  Shulman JM  Parrado A  Bevis BJ  Valastyan JS  Han H  Lindhagen-Persson M  Reiman EM  Evans DA  Bennett DA  Olofsson A  DeJager PL  Tanzi RE  Caldwell KA  Caldwell GA  Lindquist S 《Science (New York, N.Y.)》2011,334(6060):1241-1245

Aβ (beta-amyloid peptide) is an important contributor to Alzheimer's disease (AD). We modeled Aβ toxicity in yeast by directing the peptide to the secretory pathway. A genome-wide screen for toxicity modifiers identified the yeast homolog of phosphatidylinositol binding clathrin assembly protein (PICALM) and other endocytic factors connected to AD whose relationship to Aβ was previously unknown. The factors identified in yeast modified Aβ toxicity in glutamatergic neurons of Caenorhabditis elegans and in primary rat cortical neurons. In yeast, Aβ impaired the endocytic trafficking of a plasma membrane receptor, which was ameliorated by endocytic pathway factors identified in the yeast screen. Thus, links between Aβ, endocytosis, and human AD risk factors can be ascertained with yeast as a model system.  相似文献

Antiproliferative lactams and spiroenone from adlay bran in human breast cancer cell lines     

Chung CP  Hsu CY  Lin JH  Kuo YH  Chiang W  Lin YL 《Journal of agricultural and food chemistry》2011,59(4):1185-1194

Two new lactams, coixspirolactam D (1) and coixspirolactam E (2), and a new spiroenone, coixspiroenone (3), together with seven known compounds, coixspirolactam A (4), coixspirolactam B (5), coixspirolactam C (6), coixlactam (7), coixol (8), ethyl dioxindole-3-acetate (9), and isoindol-1-one (10), and two neolignans, zhepiresionol (11) and ficusal (12), were isolated from the bioactive subfraction of adlay bran ethanolic extract (ABE). Compounds 9 and 10 are the first isolates from natural resources. The structures of new compounds were identified by spectroscopic methods, including infrared (IR) spectrum, 1D and 2D nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR), and mass spectrum (MS). All of the isolated compounds were tested for antiproliferative effects on MCF-7, MDA-MB-231, and T-47D cells. Results showed that compounds 1, 3, 4, 6, and 7 at 50 μM significantly inhibited MCF-7 cell proliferation by 30.2, 19.2, 21.0, 13.5, and 32.4%, respectively; compounds 2, 4, and 7 significantly inhibited T-47D cells at 50 μM by 20.7, 24.8, and 28.9%; and compounds 1, 2, and 12 significantly inhibited MDA-MB-231 cells at 50 μM by 47.4, 25.3, and 69.3%, respectively. In conclusion, ABE has antiproliferative activities, and this effect is partially related to the presence of lactams and spiroenone.  相似文献   

Comparison of 1-deoxynojirimycin and aqueous mulberry leaf extract with emphasis on postprandial hypoglycemic effects: in vivo and in vitro studies     

Kwon HJ  Chung JY  Kim JY  Kwon O 《Journal of agricultural and food chemistry》2011,59(7):3014-3019

Carbohydrate digestion by α-glucosidase and subsequent glucose uptake at the brush border are critical for postprandial blood glucose control. Any specific inhibitors are useful as hyperglycemia modulating agents. In this study, it was postulated that an array of active components in mulberry leaf extract (MLE) may provide higher potency in inhibiting intestinal glucose absorption compared to the single component 1-deoxynojirimycin (DNJ), which is recognized as a promising inhibitor of intestinal glucose absorption. Both MLE and DNJ were active in inhibiting α-glucosidase. However, in Caco-2 cells, only MLE showed significant inhibition of 2-deoxyglucose uptake, whereas DNJ was ineffective. For glucose loading, co-administration of MLE resulted in potent inhibitions of glucose responses compared to those by DNJ in Sprague Dawley (SD) rats, but this was not found for maltose loading. These novel findings add evidence that the unabsorbed phytochemicals in MLE compete with glucose for intestinal glucose transporters, but DNJ itself does not. We also evaluated the timing of MLE consumption. By administering MLE for 30 min before glucose loading, the incremental area under the curve (IAUC) was significantly lowered in the rats, as compared to a simultaneously administered group. Similarly, cellular glucose uptake was significantly reduced in Caco-2 cells following pretreatment.  相似文献   

On Surface O3 Associated with Long-Range Transport in the Yellow Sea Region     

H. S. Kim  Y. S. Chung 《Water, air, and soil pollution》2005,165(1-4):95-112

Measurements of surface ozone (O₃) and nitrogen oxides (NO _x ) were conducted at Tae-ahn (TAP) and Chongwon (CHN) on the Korean Peninsula, during the Aerosol Characterization Experiment—Asian Pacific region (ACE-Asia) campaign, March–May 2001. The measurements provide ground-based data at a western remote site of south Korea and characterize the long-range transport of O₃ over the Yellow Sea region during spring. The mean values of O₃ and NO₂ concentration at TAP were 42 ppb and 12 ppb, respectively. The average O₃ diurnal variation of 17 ppb at TAP indicates that the loss of O₃ was not pronounced during the night. The highest NO₂ concentrations, with an average diurnal variation of 8 ppb, occurred in the afternoon at 13–15 LST. The day-to-day variation of daily O₃ concentrations at TAP is strongly influenced by the movement of synoptic scale weather patterns. In general, the O₃ concentration in a southwesterly airflow tended to increase when a moving anticyclone crossed the site, ahead of a cold front. By contrast, north-northwesterly airflows associated with the passage of a cold front bring fresh continental outflow and decrease O₃ concentrations. Surface O₃ data at TAP were classified utilizing backward trajectory analysis based on the residence time, as well as the path of the airflows, in the boundary layer (1500 m asl) over the Yellow Sea region. The results show that north-northwest continental airflows, that were transported around Lake Baikal and eastern Mongolia at an altitude of approximately 3 km at relatively high speed and came straight down at TAP, represent continental background O₃ concentrations with a mean value of 29 ppb for this period. These airflows have a short period of residence of less than one day in the boundary layer over the Yellow Sea region. In contrast, the mean O₃ value of 45 ppb was observed in regionally polluted airflows mainly passing through the east-southeast part of China and remaining for 3 days, on average, in the Yellow Sea region. These three days residence time of the regionally polluted airflows over the Yellow Sea region allowed sufficient time for photochemical O₃ formation.  相似文献   

Loss of pendimethalin in runoff and leaching from turfgrass land under simulated rainfall   总被引：2，自引：0，他引：2

A field study was undertaken to investigate runoff and leaching loss of the herbicide pendimethalin in turfgrass land of loamy sand soil. A series of plots constructed in a golf course fairway were surface-applied with pendimethalin SC formulation at the rate of 2. 25 or 4.50 kg a.i./ha and subjected to simulated rainfall at 2.0 cm/day for 10 consecutive days. Runoff losses of pendimethalin were the highest at the first rainfall and then gradually decreased with time. The first runoff event contained pendimethalin in its highest concentration, and in subsequent runoff samples the concentration decreased exponentially. The ranges of pendimethalin concentration were 80.9-18.2 and 177.4-48.6 microgram/L in the standard and double doses, respectively. Total losses by 20 cm of rainfall for 10 days reached 0.81 and 1.22% of the initial deposits at 2.25 and 4.50 kg a. i./ha, respectively. Pendimethalin concentration in the leachate collected at 30-cm soil depth was quite lower than that in the runoff, and the concentration rapidly decreased from 4.3-4.7 to 0. 2-0.4 microgram/L during the 10 days of rainfall treatment. Soil residue analysis at 45 and 90 days after pendimethalin treatment showed that more than 90% of the residue remained at the top 10 cm of soil depth. Low runoff and leaching confirmed that lateral and downward movement of the herbicide should be limited in turf soil. The half-life of pendimethalin under field conditions was 23-30 days and was not affected by application dose and rainfall treatment, but longer persistence was observed under laboratory conditions. Considering low runoff and leaching, as well as relatively short persistence in soil, it is concluded that little environmental carryover of pendimethalin would be expected in turfgrass land.  相似文献
