The U.S. National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) Coral Reef Watch (CRW) program has developed a daily global 5-km product suite based on satellite observations to monitor thermal stress coral reefs. These products fulfill requests from reef managers researchers for higher resolution by taking advantage of new satellites, sensors algorithms. Improvements the over CRW’s heritage 50-km are derived from: (1) greater data density NOAA’s next-generation operational geo-polar blended...
Microglial activation-induced neuroinflammation is closely associated with the development of Parkinson disease (PD). Macroautophagy/autophagy regulates many biological processes, but role autophagy in microglial activation during PD remains largely unclear. In this study, we showed that deletion
Inflammatory response mediated by activated immune cells is a vital process in host defense system while responding to various stresses. Our previous studies have indicated that pomegranate peel polyphenols (PPPs) and their main components punicalagin (PC) ellagic acid (EA) decreased pro-inflammatory cytokines inflammatory mediators regulating the mitogen-activated protein kinases (MAPKs) pathway, but whether these tested play an important role NF-κB signaling another crucial pathway of...
Pomegranate peel polyphenols (PPPs) and inulin have been reported to lipid-lowering effects. Here, the effects of PPPs combined with on obesity traits change gut microbiota, short-chain fatty acids (SCFAs), serum metabolomics profiles in rats a high-fat diet (HFD) were investigated. According experimental results, most effective reducing body weight liver lipid levels. Besides, ameliorated disorder particular, enrichment SCFA producers, such as Lactobacillus, Roseburia,...
Supplementation of broiler chicken diets with probiotics may improve carcass characteristics and meat quality. However, the underlying molecular mechanism remains unclear. In present study, 2D-DIGE-based proteomics was employed to investigate proteome changes associated improved traits quality Arbor Acres broilers (Gallus gallus) fed probiotic Enterococcus faecium. The significantly increased colour, water holding capacity pH pectoral muscle but decreased abdominal fat content. These were...
The liver plays important roles in nutrient metabolism, detoxification and immunity. Enterococcus faecium (E. faecium) is a probiotic that has been shown to have positive effects on broiler production. However, its molecular metabolism not characterized. This study aims further identify the biological of E. by characterizing hepatic proteomic changes broilers (Gallus gallus) fed using two-dimensional fluorescence difference gel electrophoresis (2-D DIGE) mass spectrometry (MS). Thirty-three...
Hypopharyngeal glands (HG) of honeybee workers play an important role in nutrition and caste differentiation. Previous research mainly focused on age-dependent morphological, physiological, biochemical genomic characters the HG. Here proteomics network analysis were used to follow protein changes during HG development.A total 87, 76, 85, 74, 71, 55 proteins unambiguously identified day 1, 3, 6, 12, 15 20, respectively. These major royal jelly (MRJPs), metabolism carbohydrates, lipids...
PPPs, PC and PEA in different concentrations were found to decrease the total cholesterol (TC) content increase bile acid (TBA) of a human hepatic cell model, so possess lipid-lowering effect.
Varroa destructor has been identified as a major culprit responsible for the losses of millions honeybee colonies. sensitive hygiene (VSH) is suite behaviors from adult bees to suppress mite reproduction by uncapping and/or removing infested pupae sealed brood. Despite efforts elucidate molecular underpinnings VSH, they remain largely unknown. We investigated proteome mushroom bodies (MBs) and antennae with without VSH stock selected based on their response artificially Varroa-infected brood...
Neuropeptides play vital roles in orchestrating neural communication and physiological modulation organisms, acting as neurotransmitters, neuromodulators, neurohormones. The highly evolved social structure of honeybees is a good system for understanding how neuropeptides regulate behaviors; however, much knowledge on neuropeptidomic variation the age-related division labor remains unknown. An in-depth comparison brain dynamics over four time points polyethism was performed two strains...
Pomegranate peel polyphenols hindered ox-LDL-induced raw264.7 foam cell formation, by decreasing CD36 and promoting ABCA1 LXRα expression.
The study investigated the effect of pomegranates ellagic acid (PEA) on blood cholesterol and its effects LXR/RXR/PPAR-ABCA1 nuclear receptors-signaling pathways metabolism molecular level in hamsters. In this experiment, hamsters were randomly divided into two groups: first group (NG, n = 9) was always fed normal diet, whereas other (HFG, 45) a high fat diet during 4 weeks then for last weeks. HFG, which five groups (n weeks, three treated with PEA at 44 mg per kg bw, 88 bw 177 one...
Royal jelly (RJ), secreted by honeybee workers, plays diverse roles as nutrients and defense agents for biology human health. Despite being reported to be glycoproteins, the glycosylation characterization functionality of RJ proteins in different species are largely unknown. An in-depth N-glycoproteome analysis functional assay produced Apis mellifera lingustica (Aml) cerana (Acc) were conducted. Aml yielded 80 nonredundant N-glycoproteins carrying 190 glycosites, which 23 novel harboring 35...
Abstract Vascular smooth muscle cells (VSMCs) are a major cell type of the arterial wall and their functionality is associated with blood pressure regulation. Although royal jelly (RJ) has reported effects on anti-hypertension, mechanism regulation by protein 1 (MRJP1), most abundant RJ protein, still unknown. The mrjp1 gene was inserted into mouse VSMCs to investigate how MRJP1 influences VSMC functional proteomic analysis. expression in significantly reduced contraction, migration...
Honeybee (Apis mellifera) exhibits divisions in both morphology and reproduction. The queen is larger size fully developed sexually, while the worker bees are smaller nearly infertile. To better understand specific time underlying molecular mechanisms of caste differentiation, proteomic profiles larvae intended to grow into castes were compared at 72 120 hours using two dimensional electrophoresis (2-DE), network, enrichment quantitative PCR analysis. There significant differences protein...
The mandibular glands (MGs) of honeybee workers are vital for the secretion lipids, both larval nutrition and pheromones. However, knowledge how proteome controls MG development functionality at different physiological stages worker bees is still lacking. We characterized compared across ages MGs in Italian (ITBs) Royal Jelly (RJ) (RJBs), latter being a line bred increasing RJ yield, originating from ITB. All 2000 proteins that were shared by differently aged bee lines (>4000 identified all)...
Abstract Leaf colour variation is observed in several plants. We obtained two types of branches with yellow and variegated leaves from Camellia sinensis . To reveal the mechanisms that underlie leaf variations, combined morphological, histological, ionomic proteomic analyses were performed using abnormal (variants) normal (CKs). The measurement CIE-Lab coordinates showed brightness yellowness variants more intense than CKs. When chloroplast profiles analysed, HY1 (branch leaves) HY2...
