The aim was to analyze the anatomical characteristics of roots in response to pollution by cadmium and to assess the potential application of anatomical and hydraulic characteristics in the selection of the most suitable Salix clones for phytostabilization of pollutants in soils. Anatomical parameters measured in this study included root crosssectional area, root diameter, the proportion of periderm, secondary phloem (cortex) and wood (secondary and primary xylem), and parameters of the vessels (lumen area, diameter and frequency). Based on the measurements of individual vessel lumens and the number of vessels, the theoretical hydraulic conductivity (kh) of roots was calculated. The effects of applied Cd concentrations on root traits were studied in clones and control plants. Following treatments with both Cd concentrations, plants of clone B-44 had the highest values of most parameters and significantly higher kh in comparison with control samples due to the significantly larger root cross-sectional area and lumen of vessels. It was concluded that these characteristics can serve for effective evaluation and selection of clones for remediation of sites contaminated with cadmium.","PeriodicalId":8145,"journal":{"name":"Archives of Biological Sciences","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.8,"publicationDate":"2022-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"68389728","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"生物学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

(RAR?) is a transcription factor that plays an essential role in tumor progression. Triple-negative breast cancer (TNBC) is a subtype of breast carcinoma with a poor prognosis due to early therapeutic escape from conventional treatments and aggressive metastatic relapse by the occurrence of an epithelial-mesenchymal transition (EMT). However, as the expression level of RAR? does not correlate with the overall survival of TNBC patients, we speculate that post-translational modification such as phosphorylation of RAR? may be involved in EMT and TNBC metastasis. After overexpressing a phosphorylation-defective mutant of RAR? at serine 77 residue (RAR?S77A), we found that RAR? hypophosphorylation inhibited MDA-MB-231 cell motility and migration in vitro while reducing the lung metastatic potential in vivo. This was accompanied by increased expression of the epithelial marker E-cadherin and decreased expression of the mesenchymal markers ?-catenin and zinc finger E-box-binding homeobox 1 (ZEB1) in agreement with the suppression of EMT. Interestingly, the overexpression of wild-type RAR? in the presence of the RAR? agonist AM580 failed to suppress EMT and cell migration. These results indicate that hypophosphorylated RAR?S77 can directly mimic activated RAR? to inhibit EMT and migration/invasion of cells, thus providing a novel target in the therapeutic intervention of TNBC.","PeriodicalId":8145,"journal":{"name":"Archives of Biological Sciences","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.8,"publicationDate":"2022-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"68390274","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"生物学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

In this study, we investigated the anticancer activities of F1012-2 on ten human breast cancer lines and demonstrated significantly lower IC50 values for triple-negative breast cancer (TNBC) than for non-TNBC cell lines. The transcription factors p53 and nuclear factor-?B (NF-?B) are important regulators of tumorigenesis. F1012-2 not only depleted mutant p53, but also activated wild-type p53. F1012-2 reduced the expression of phosphorylated p65 and p105 F-?B family members and coregulated p53, NF-?B members and their dependent targets. To further clarify the key role of p53, lentivirus small hairpin RNA (shRNA) infection was used to knockdown p53 in MDAMB- 231 cells. F1012-2 significantly reduced the inhibitory effect on cell proliferation and apoptosis, while the levels of p53, NF-?B family members and their dependent genes were not significantly different. F1012-2 exhibited a significant antitumor effect and reduced the expression of p53 in MDA-MB-231 xenografts.

For many years, pyrethroid insecticides (e.g., tau-fluvalinate) have been used extensively in agricultural activities to control pests. However, they can affect not only target organisms but also non-target organisms. This study was conducted to investigate the lethal and sublethal effects of tau-fluvalinate on the non-target organism Gammarus roeseli. To this end, acute toxicity of tau-fluvalinate was determined using a toxicity test with a 96-h exposure period, and the genotoxic effects of different sublethal concentrations on hemocytes of the test organism were assessed at 24-, 96-, and 240-h exposure periods using the comet assay. Alterations in locomotor activity of the test organism in response to exposure to sublethal concentrations were evaluated at 120- and 240-h periods. The 96-h median lethal concentration (LC50) was found to be 17.29 ?g/L, and tau-fluvalinate was observed to cause a significant increase in DNA damage and a significant reduction in locomotor activity at the tested sublethal concentrations (2.15, 4.30 and 8.60 ?g/L). The results of this study suggest that the long-term existence of tau-fluvalinate in aquatic environments at high concentrations is a noteworthy threat to non-target organisms and that its use in agricultural activities should be reconsidered.","PeriodicalId":8145,"journal":{"name":"Archives of Biological Sciences","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.8,"publicationDate":"2022-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"68390534","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"生物学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The roles and mechanisms of BNIP3 in intervertebral disk cell autophagy and apoptosis are unclear. In this study, primary rat intervertebral disk cells were prepared to study the effect of BNIP3 overexpression on their autophagy and apoptosis. The cell counting kit (CCK)-8 assay showed that BNIP3 overexpression decreased cell viability. Real-time PCR and Western blotting showed that BNIP3 overexpression significantly upregulated the expression of autophagy-related proteins and pro-apoptotic proteins, including hypoxia-inducible factor-1?, apoptotic protease activating factor 1, caspase 3 and cleaved caspase 3, microtubule-associated proteins 1A/1B light chain 3 (LC3) and Beclin-1 while downregulating the expression of anti-apoptotic protein Bcl-2. Cell staining detection of autophagy and apoptosis showed that BNIP3 overexpression significantly increased the autophagy and apoptosis of rat intervertebral disk cells. BNIP3 RNA interference revealed that the effects of BNIP3 overexpression can be reversed. These findings suggested that BNIP3 enhanced the autophagy and apoptosis in the rat intervertebral disk cells in vitro, which might promote IDD development.","PeriodicalId":8145,"journal":{"name":"Archives of Biological Sciences","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.8,"publicationDate":"2022-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"68389771","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"生物学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
