Venezuela Orinoco heavy crude oil was sequentially separated into several subfractions to determine the contents and types of vanadyl porphyrins contained in products. Vanadium each subfraction were detected using an atomic absorption spectrometer (AAS) combined with characterization by ultraviolet–visible (UV–vis) spectroscopy positive-ion electrospray ionization (ESI) Fourier transform-ion cyclotron resonance mass spectrometry (FT-ICR MS). Six petroleum porphyrins, which have been...

HOX transcript antisense intergenic RNA (HOTAIR), a well‑known long non‑coding RNA, plays an important role in the regulation of epithelial‑to‑mesenchymal transition (EMT). In this study, we propose novel mechanism through which HOTAIR promotes EMT by switching histone H3 lysine 27 acetylation to methylation at E‑cadherin promoter, induces transcriptional inhibition E‑cadherin. recruits polycomb repressive complex 2 (PRC2) catalyze H3K27me3; however, whether is associated with 27, marker...

The ubiquitin-conjugating enzyme 2C (UBE2C) is the key component in ubiquitin proteasome system (UPS) by partnering with anaphase‑promoting complex (APC/C). A high UBE2C protein expression level has been reported various types of human tumors. However, little known about precise mechanism which downregulated gastric cancer. We found MGC‑803 and SGC‑7901 cancer cells UBE2C‑deficient G2/M phase arrest cell cycle subsequently decreased adenocarcinoma tumorigenesis. In previous study, we...

Angiotensin II (ANGII) and its receptor (AGTR1) have been proposed as significant contributors to metastasis in multiple cancers. Further, high AGTR1 levels are associated with poor epithelial ovarian cancer (EOC) outcomes. However, the mechanistic basis for these effects is unknown. Recent studies suggested that highly dependent on formation of multicellular spheroids (MCS). To understand associations between ANGII/AGTR1 pathway outcomes, we evaluated ANGII MCS by cells used a proteomic...

Colletotrichum fructicola, which is part of the C. gloeosporioides species complex, can cause anthracnose diseases in strawberries worldwide. However, molecular interactions between fructicola and strawberry are largely unknown. A deep RNA-sequencing approach was applied to gain insights into pathogenicity mechanisms defense response plants at different stages infection. The transcriptome data showed stage-specific transcription accompanied by a step-by-step evasion this system fungus....

The increasing demand for healthy edible oil has generated the need to identify promising crops. Tree peony (Paeonia section Moutan DC.) is a woody crop with α-linolenic acid contributing 45% of total fatty (FA) content in seeds. Molecular and genetic differences that contribute varied FA composition among wild species are however, poorly understood. Analyses during seed development three tree (P. rockii, P. potaninii, lutea) showed highest followed by lutea. Total increased reached its...

Cucumber mosaic virus (CMV) is a highly prevalent viral pathogen causing substantial damage to the bulb and cut-flower production of Lilium spp. Here, we performed an Illumina RNA sequencing (RNA-Seq) study on leaf tissues virus-resistant species regale inoculated with mock control CMV. A total 1346 differentially expressed genes (DEGs) were identified in leaves L. upon CMV inoculation, which contained 34 up-regulated 40 down-regulated DEGs that encode putative transcription factors (TFs)....

The disease symptoms recognized as 'Anthracnose' are caused by Colletotrichum spp. and lead to large-scale strawberry (Fragaria×ananassa Duchesne) losses worldwide in terms of both quality production. Little is known regarding the mechanisms underlying genetic variations strawberry-Colletotrichum interaction. In this work, gloeosporioides (C. gloeosporioides) infection was characterized two varieties exhibiting different susceptibilities, involvement salicylic acid (SA) examined. Light...

As the largest Chinese city by population and proper in world, Shanghai has frequently suffered heavy haze recent years. In this study, observational data (PM2.5, PM10, O3, NO2, CO SO2) at ten urban monitoring stations from November 25 to December 9, 2013, were used analyze pollution. The source contributions of PM2.5 identified trajectory clustering hybrid receptor models (potential contribution function (PSCF) concentration weighted (CWT)). results showed that for whole study period,...

Tree peony (Paeonia section Moutan DC.) species are woody oil crops with high unsaturated fatty acid content, including α-linolenic (ALA/18:3; >40% of the total acid). Comparative transcriptome analyses were carried out to uncover underlying mechanisms responsible for and low ALA content in developing seeds P. rockii lutea, respectively. Expression analysis acyl lipid metabolism genes revealed upregulation select involved plastidial synthesis, editing, desaturation, triacylglycerol assembly...

Abstract α-Linolenic acid (ALA), an essential fatty (FA) for human health, serves as the precursor of 2 nutritional benefits, docosahexaenoic and eicosapentaenoic acid, can only be obtained from plant foods. We previously found that phospholipid:diacylglycerol acyltransferase (PrPDAT2) derived ALA-rich tree peony (Paeonia rockii) promote seed ALA accumulation. However, regulatory mechanism underlying its promoting effect on accumulation remains unknown. Here, we revealed a...

Rilpivirine (RPV) is a potent antiretroviral drug used for the long-term management of HIV infection. The high crystallinity and very low aqueous solubility RPV are responsible highly variable pharmacokinetics seen in HIV-infected patients. While fatty meals can increase absorption RPV, lipid precludes development oral lipid-based formulations such as self-nanoemulsifying systems (SNES). To improve delivery we evaluated potential six biocompatible bulky anions to transform into amphiphilic...
