Myocardin, a cofactor of serum response factor (SRF), specifically induces the expression contractile proteins to promote differentiation and phenotype smooth muscle cells (SMCs). SRF directly transcription microRNA-1 (miR-1) in cardiac skeletal precursor miR-1 promotes modulates hypertrophy. We aimed examine whether plays role regulation contractility. found that was induced by myocardin overexpression human aortic SMCs. In collagen lattice contraction assay using SMCs harboring...
Rosaroxburghii Tratt., a deciduous shrub of the family Rosaceae, is usually used as food and medicinal materials also cultivated an ornamental. Plant endophytic fungi are large class microbial resources not fully researched, with great potential applications. Two strains Ascodesmis Talaromyces were isolated during survey biodiversity on R.roxburghii in China. Multigene phylogenetic analyses showed that each two formed distinct lineage separated from known congeneric species they proposed...
China is located in eastern Asia and has a large quantity rich variety of bamboo resources. Bamboo resources also contain various fungal species such as Apiospora. The genus Apiospora commonly used plant pathogens, endophytes, saprophytes, which are widely present host ranges around the world. discovery metabolites been proven to play an important role pharmaceutical industry. Recently, 10 strains were isolated from Guizhou Province, China, identified five based on multigene phylogenetic...
Failure of axons to regenerate following acute or chronic neuronal injury is attributed both the inhibitory glial environment and deficient intrinsic ability re-grow. However, underlying mechanisms latter remain unclear. In this study, we have investigated role mammalian homologue aspergillus nidulans NudE, Ndel1, emergently viewed as an integrator cytoskeleton, in axon regeneration. Ndel1 was synthesized de novo upregulated crushed transected sciatic nerve axons, and, upon injury, strongly...
Rosa roxburghii Tratt. is widely applied in food, cosmetics, and traditional medicine, has been demonstrated to possess diverse bioactivities. Plant endophytic fungi are important microbial resources with great potential for application many fields. They not only establish mutualistic symbiosis host plants but also produce a variety of bioactive compounds. Therefore, the present study, were isolated from R. roxburghii, diversity antimicrobial activities evaluated. As result, 242 strains...
Dragon fruit (Selenicereus monacanthus), renowned for its economic value and dual utility in both culinary medicinal applications, is predominantly cultivated China. In July 2023, a stem spot disease was found on dragon ("Zi honglong" cultivar) plants with 37% incidence, Huajiang Town (N25°40', E105°39'), Guanling County, Anshun City, Guizhou Province. The symptoms appeared as yellow spots surrounded by watery stains, then the expanded to suborbicular, which finally led wither. Twelve...
The present study introduces seven new species, one combination, variety and several interesting taxonomical notes and/or geographical records. Most of the taxa are Ascomycetes, but also includes a Basidiomycete. Novel species include Gyromitra khanspurensis (Discinaceae, Pezizales, Pezizomycetes) from Pakistan growing near Cedrus deoadara Paramyrothecium guiyangense verruridum (Stachybotriaceae, Hypocreales, Sordariomycetes) both isolated soil in China. New South Africa Sclerostagonospora...
How the integrity of laminar structures in postnatal brain is maintained impacts neuronal functions. Ndel1, mammalian homolog NuDE from filamentous fungus Aspergillus nidulans, an atypical microtubule (MT)-associated protein that was initially investigated contexts neurogenesis and migration. Constitutive knock-out mice for Ndel1 are embryonic lethal, thereby necessitating creation a conditional to probe roles brains. Here we report CA1 pyramidal neurons postnatally lacking (Ndel1 knock-out)...
Plants with certain medicinal values are a good source for isolating function-specific endophytes. Rosa roxburghii Tratt. has been reported to be botanical of antimicrobial compounds, which may represent promising candidate screening endophytic fungi potential. In this study, 54 endophytes were isolated and molecularly identified from R. . The preliminary using the plate confrontation method resulted in 15 different strains showing at least one strong inhibition or three more moderate...
Myocardin is a transcriptional co-activator of serum response factor (SRF) and can be degraded through ubiquitin–proteasome system. Our preliminary studies unexpectedly revealed that accumulation myocardin in to proteasome inhibition by MG132 or lactacystin resulted decrease activity as indicated reduced expression SMC contractile marker genes (SM α-actin, SM22, calponin) muscle-enriched microRNAs (miR-143/145 miR-1/133a), contractility human vascular smooth muscle cells (SMCs) embedded...
Two novel species, Pestalotiopsis shorea from Shorea obtusa and P. simitheae Pandanus sp. were isolated in Thailand. They are introduced this paper on the basis of morphological molecular characteristics. differs morphology its closely related adusta, by shorter, tubular apical appendages brown median cells; can be separated sister theae, shorter appendages, larger length/width ratio colony with irregular edge being orange reverse PDA plates. Phylogenetic analysis based a combined sequence...
