Moth sex-pheromone biosynthesis is inhibited by the herbicide diclofop     

Dorit Eliyahu  Shalom ApplebaumAda Rafaeli 《Pesticide biochemistry and physiology》2003,77(2):75-81

Pheromones of nocturnal moths are derived from fatty acids produced as a result of the activity of acetyl-CoA carboxylase. This timely production is initiated in nocturnal moths by a tropic peptide, pheromone biosynthesis activating neuropeptide released into the hemolymph. In monocotyledonous plants, specific plastid acetyl-CoA carboxylase is inhibited by herbicides that target the eukaryotic form of the enzyme. We report evidence that these herbicides can also target pheromone biosynthesis by a moth, thereby implicating the acetyl-CoA carboxylase as a key regulatory enzyme in the pheromone biosynthetic pathway. These findings, whilst indicating the possible action of such herbicides on non-target organisms, also suggest a novel alternative method of insect pest management, which precludes sex-pheromone production and mating success, thereby reducing insect population growth.  相似文献

张璐 《天津农学院学报》2012,19(1):52-54,58

非英语专业大学生英语口语中的语言僵化是一个普遍现象。本文通过教学实践和调查具体分析了大学生口语僵化的原因，从而制定出了口语激活策略，从教学理念、教学方法和考试模式三个方面进行改革。通过一年的教学实践，学生在口语表达时的流利程度、语法词汇的正确使用和交际能力方面都有了显著的提高，而且综合英语能力也有很大提高。实验结果证明，非英语专业大学生的口语僵化是可以被激活的。  相似文献

The Effects of Growth Factor on Testicular Germ Cell Apoptosis in the Stallion     

Casey L. Donnelly MS  Christophe Staub PhD  Dickson Varner PhD  DVM  Terry Blanchard PhD  DVM  Larry Johnson PhD  David W. Forrest PhD   《Journal of Equine Veterinary Science》2007,27(5):212-216

Apoptosis is necessary for both initiation and control of spermatogenesis; however, an increase in apoptosis can lead to subfertility/infertility in stallions, causing substantial financial loss in the equine industry. The ability of stem cell factor (SCF), leukemia-inhibiting factor (LIF), granulocyte–macrophage colony-stimulating factor (GM-CSF), and estradiol (E₂), alone or in combination, to prevent apoptosis of germ cells in short-term equine testicular cultures was examined. Testicular tissue was sectioned into approximately 2-mm cubes and placed in media-filled culture chambers. Concentrations of SCF (100 ng/mL), LIF (10 ng/mL), GM-CSF (5 ng/mL), and E₂ (10⁻⁹ mol/l) were added alone or in combination to each well. After 6 hours in culture, the tissue was fixed and immunohistochemically (terminal deoxynucleotidyl transferase-mediated nick-end labeling; TUNEL) stained for apoptosis detection. Apoptotic cells per 100 Sertoli cell nuclei within seminiferous tubules were counted until the 500^th Sertoli cell nuclei was reached. This counting procedure was used for each slide. An analysis of variance (ANOVA) with a Tukey's test was used to compare apoptotic rates. In comparison with the control, GM-CSF alone lowered apoptosis by 34.77%. GM-CSF–treated tissue combined with SCF and LIF as well as GM-CSF combined with SCF, LIF, and E₂ reduced apoptosis when compared with the control (37.45% and 44.40%, respectively) or other treatment combinations. GM-CSF alone reduced apoptosis; results suggest possible synergy for the combinations of SCF and LIF with GM-CSF and for E₂ with SCF, LIF, and GM-CSF.  相似文献

猪繁殖与呼吸综合征病毒感染对猪肺泡巨噬细胞外源性抗原加工递呈相关分子和共刺激分子的影响   总被引：1，自引：1，他引：1

采用定量竞争PCR技术对猪繁殖与呼吸综合征病毒（PRRSV）感染后不同时相猪肺泡巨噬细胞（PAM）中外源性抗原加工递呈相关分子SLA-DR、Ii链和SLA-DM分子及共刺激分子CD40、CD80、CD86的mRNA转录动态进行了定量检测。结果表明,PRRSV感染后PAM的SLA-DR mRNA转录水平在3、7和14 d下调,低于对照组;感染后3 d,Ii链、SLA-DM和CD40的mRNA转录水平极显著下调（P〈0.01）;CD80和CD86mRNA转录水平也在感染后3 d明显下调（P〈0.05）。用流式细胞术检测PAM表面的SLA-DR抗原的结果表明,在感染后3 d短暂上升,7 d之后一直低于对照组。由此说明,PRRSV感染早期对猪肺泡巨噬细胞的外源性抗原加工和递呈功能产生显著影响,导致其外源性抗原递呈功能下降,进而影响机体的体液免疫应答。  相似文献   

Interleukin 1, a mediator of immunoadjuvant peptidoglycans     

M. Guenounou  F. Vacheron  C. Nauciel   《Comparative immunology, microbiology and infectious diseases》1985,8(3-4):273-284

Bacterial peptidoglycans and the synthetic analog muramyl dipeptide possess various immunomodulating properties (adjuvant effect, increase of resistance to infectious agents and to tumor growth). They are able to induce B cell activation and to stimulate macrophages to produce monokines such as Interleukin 1 (IL 1). IL 1 plays an essential role in immune response. It promotes thymocytes maturation and Interleukin 2 secretion by antigen sensitive T cells, which in turn triggers regulatory T cells. Moreover, it is involved in the proliferation and differentiation of B cells.

There is a correlation between the immunoenhancing effect of PG of a definite structure and their ability to induce IL 1 secretion. Non-adjuvant PG were inactive. This suggests that one of the major mechanisms of action of adjuvant PG could be the stimulation of IL 1 synthesis.  相似文献   

草鱼巨噬细胞的集结及相关的组织变化     

张奇亚  李正秋 《中国兽医学报》1999,19(5):504-507

给草鱼腹腔注射细微炭粒（墨汁）后不同时间取样，比较观察了草鱼胸腺、肝、脾、头肾和肾组织中巨噬细胞集结（ｍ ａｃｒｏｐｈａｇｅ ａｇｇｒｅｇａｔｉｏｎ ， Ｍ Ａ）状况及相应组织的变化。结果表明，在头肾和脾组织中， Ｍ Ａ 的数量和体积均较肝和肾中的多而大，胸腺中所产生的 Ｍ Ａ 数量较肝和肾中的少，体积也小；注射墨汁后 １～３ 周内，在胸腺、头肾、肝和脾组织中， Ｍ Ａ 的数量和体积均有不同程度的增加，但在注射墨汁后第 ４ 周的肾组织中， Ｍ Ａ 的体积缩小而且密度降低，同时肾组织结构有逐渐恢复的趋势，可能是由于 Ｍ Ａ 分解后通过肾小球和肾小管排泄到膀胱或体外的缘故。对草鱼 Ｍ Ａ 的组织分布、排除等分析认为， Ｍ Ａ 可作为草鱼非特异细胞防御作用的解剖学和细胞学的一种生物标记。  相似文献

STAT6介导的巨噬细胞极化对布鲁氏菌胞内存活的影响     

席静  王月丽  邓肖玉  杨琴  李培东  张江伟  孙天浩  朱良全  易继海  陈创夫 《畜牧兽医学报》2022,53(1):263-271

旨在探讨STAT6介导的巨噬细胞极化对布鲁氏菌胞内生存的影响。本研究采用布鲁氏菌光滑株S2308（S2308）和粗糙型疫苗株RB51（RB51）侵染巨噬细胞。利用qRT-PCR检测M1型巨噬细胞标志因子p65、NOS2和IL-1β,M2型巨噬细胞标志因子STAT6、ARG1、IL-10的mRNA表达水平;流式细胞术检测M1型标记分子CD86和M2型标记分子CD206的表达;Western blot检测p-STAT6蛋白及抑制剂AS对蛋白的抑制作用;ELISA检测M1型细胞因子TNF-α、IL-12和M2型细胞因子IL-4、IL-10的表达量;最后对胞内菌落进行CFU计数。qRT-PCR结果显示,在感染8、12 h时可显著诱导M1型因子mRNA转录表达,72 h时低表达,而M2型因子在72 h时高表达;流式细胞术结果显示,S2308感染12 h可显著诱导CD86的表达,感染72 h可显著诱导CD206的表达,但RB51对二者无影响;Western blot结果显示,S2308菌株在感染72 h时激活STAT6信号通路,而RB51几乎不激活该通路,抑制剂AS在2 μmol·L^-1浓度时抑制效果最佳;ELISA结果显示,AS抑制剂可显著抑制IL-4、IL-10的释放,并促进TNF-α、IL-12的释放;CFU计数结果显示,S2308组的胞内菌呈先降低后显著上升趋势,加入AS抑制剂后可显著抑制布鲁氏菌胞内复制。布鲁氏菌S2308在感染后期能够通过STAT6诱导M1型巨噬细胞向M2型转化,并促进Th2型细胞因子的释放,从而有利于布鲁氏菌的胞内生存。而RB51几乎不激活该通路,不影响胞内生存。  相似文献
