Selenium (Se) compounds, which are the most extensively studied cancer chemopreventive agents, induce apoptotic death of tumor cells. In current study, we show that selenite-induced apoptosis involves DNA damage. We showed as evidenced by cleavage poly(ADP-ribose) polymerase was reduced in NIH 3T3 cells treated with ATM small interfering RNA, suggesting involvement damage regulator ATM. Consistent ATM/ATR involvement, selenite also shown to stimulate Ser-139 phosphorylation substrate H2AX....
Abstract In response to insect herbivory, plants emit elevated levels of volatile organic compounds for direct and indirect resistance. However, little is known about the molecular genomic basis defense that herbivory trigger in cotton how mechanisms are orchestrated context other biological processes. Here we monitored transcriptome changes characteristics bollworm (CBW; Helicoverpa armigera ) larvae infestation. Analysis samples revealed 1,969 transcripts were differentially expressed (log...
Abstract Pollinators are essential for maintaining sustainable crop production, while the decline of pollinators is a widespread concern. Agricultural intensification one primary drivers insect pollinators. usually involves decreasing non‐crop semi‐natural habitat and an increasing pesticide exposure However, causal links between agricultural intensification, increased exposure, reduced pollinator's food sources pollinator diversity remain underexplored. We assessed across landscape gradient...
Abstract Traditional small‐holder agricultural landscapes in southern China are being consolidated to increase mechanisation levels agriculture, but it is unclear how this influences rice arthropod communities these landscapes. Here, based on a six‐year study 20 fields, we evaluated the impact of land consolidation communities, crop damage, and yield. We also analysed effects were moderated by proportion large semi‐natural habitat patches insecticide use. found that, compared fields...
It has been proposed that the topoisomerase II (TOP2)β–DNA covalent complex arrests transcription and triggers 26S proteasome-mediated degradation of TOP2β. is unclear whether initial trigger for proteasomal due to DNA damage or transcriptional arrest. In current study we show TOP2 catalytic inhibitor 4,4-(2,3-butanediyl)-bis(2,6-piperazinedione) (ICRF-193), which traps into a circular clamp rather than TOP2–DNA complex, can also arrest transcription. Arrest transcription, TOP2β-dependent,...
Acidic pH plays an important role in various pathophysiological states and has been demonstrated to be carcinogenic animal models. Recent studies have also implicated acidic the development of preneoplastic Barrett's esophagus human. However, little is known about molecular mechanism underlying pH-induced carcinogenesis. In current study, we show that pH, like topoisomerase II (TOP2) poison VP-16 (demethylepipodophyllotoxin ethylidene-β- d -glucoside), induces tumors...
Abstract Odorant‐binding proteins ( OBPs ) are crucial in the olfactory pathway of insects. In present study, antenna‐enriched OBP AlinOBP13 was investigated because its potential contribution to peripheral perception alfalfa plant bug A delphocoris lineolatus . The results quantitative reverse transcriptase‐PCR showed that transcript level higher adult stage than nymph stages. levels male and female antennae significantly increased after 4 8 h starvation, respectively. Fine ultrastructures...
The fall webworm, Hyphantria cunea (Drury), enters facultative diapause as a pupa in response to short-day conditions during autumn. Photoperiodic curves showed that the critical day length for induction was 14 h 30 min, 25 min and 13 at 22, 28°C, respectively. photoperiodic responses under non-24 light–dark cycles demonstrated night played an essential role determination of diapause. Experiments using short interrupted by 1-h light pulse exhibited two troughs inhibition effect greater early...
Developing oocytes accumulate plentiful yolk protein during oogenesis through receptor-mediated endocytosis. The vitellogenin receptor (VgR), belonging to the low-density lipoprotein (LDLR) family, regulates absorption of protein. In this work, full-length (HaVgR) in cotton bollworm Helicoverpa armigera was identified, encoding a 1817 residue Sequence alignment revealed that sequence HaVgR contained all conservative structural motifs LDLR family members, and phylogenetic analysis indicated...
Insect pollinators play an important role in crop pollination, but the relative contribution of wild and honey bees to pollination is currently under debate. There virtually no information available on strength services identity service providers from Asian smallholder farming systems, where fields are small, variation among high. We established 18 winter oilseed rape (Brassica napus L.) along a large geographical gradient Jiangxi province China. In each field, plants were grown closed cages...
Insect chemosensory proteins (CSPs) are a family of small soluble proteins. To date, their physiological functions in insect olfaction remain largely controversial comparison to odorant binding (OBPs). In present study, we reported the antenna specific expression three CSPs (AlinCSP4-6) from Adelphocoris lineolatus, distinct chemosensillum distribution as well ligand capability thus providing evidence for possible roles that they could play semiochemical detection plant bug A. lineolatus....
Traumatic brain injury (TBI) induces pro-inflammatory polarization of astrocytes and causes secondary disruption the blood-brain barrier (BBB) damage. Herein, we report a successful astrocyte-targeted delivery small interfering RNA (siRNA) by ligand functionalized lipid nanoparticles (LNPs) formulated from adenosine-conjugated lipids novel ionizable (denoted Ad4 LNPs). Systemic administration LNPs carrying siRNA against TLR4 to mice TBI model resulted in specific internalization vicinity...
Abstract Immobilized preys are routinely used in agro-ecological exposure studies to quantify predation of pests under field conditions, but this method has not been validated. Our purpose was determine the validity using immobilized adults major rice pest Nilaparvata lugens , brown plant hopper (BPH), as sentinels. We direct observation by video recording causal agents removal exposed BPH sentinels with two experiments: 1) we recorded events dead, BPH; and 2) compared (i) BPH, (ii) live,...
Abstract While the biocontrol potential of natural enemies is well established, it largely unknown how landscape‐mediated effects on pest and enemy communities impact cascade potential, crop injury, yield profit, taking into account management surrounding landscape composition. We compared with chemical control according to local farmers’ practice, across ‘full cascade’ from abundance loss, economic performance. This 2‐year study was conducted in 20 rice fields embedded a gradient landscapes...
Abstract BACKGROUND In holometabolous insects, the major developmental transitions – larval molting and pupation are triggered by a pulse of 20‐hydroxyecdysone (20E) coordinated juvenile hormone. Methoxyfenozide (MF), an ecdysteroid agonist, represents new class insect growth regulators is effective against lepidopteran pests. Fushi‐tarazu factor 1 (FTZ‐F1) ecdysone‐inducible transcription factor. To date, effect MF on 20E‐response genes remains unclear, we speculate involvement FTZ‐F1 in...
