    Abstract Backgrounds: Liensinine (Lien), Neferine (Nef), Isoliensinine (Iso) and Tetrandrine (Tet), benzylisoquinoline alkaloids (BIAs), have been shown inhibitory effects on pulmonary fibrosis (PF) through anti-inflammatory, anti-oxidative activities, inhibition of cytokines and NF-κB. Effects of other similar BIAs, Dauricine (Dau), Papaverine (Pap) and lotusine (Lot), on PF remain unclear. Here, we explored the effects of five bisbenzylisoquinoline (Lien, Nef, Iso, Tet and Dau) and two monobenzylisoquinoline (Pap, Lot) alkaloids on normal and PF fibroblasts.
    Methods: Primary normal and PF lung fibroblasts were cultured and treated with these alkaloids. Proliferation, activation, migration and apoptosis changes were detected by MTT, wound healing assay, flow cytometry. Protein level was analyzed by Western blot.
    Results: All BIAs inhibited proliferation of normal and PF lung fibroblasts induced by TGF-β. α-SMA protein level in normal and PF lung fibroblasts decreased after Lien, Nef, Iso, Tet and Dau treatment. Pap and Lot had no influence on α-SMA expression. Dau showed the strongest inhibitory effects on proliferation and activation among alkaloids. The migration rates of normal and PF lung fibroblasts were inhibited by Lien, Nef, Iso, and Dau. Lien, Nef, Iso and Dau significantly promoted apoptosis, while Tet had no effect on apoptosis. Pap and Lot had no influence on activation, migration and apoptosis. Dau significantly inhibited Smad3/4 and p-ERK1/2 protein overexpression induced by TGF-β1.
    Conclusions: Bisbenzylisoquinoline alkaloids had stronger effects on inhibiting lung fibroblasts than monobenzylisoquinoline alkaloids. Dau expressed the strongest inhibitory effects, which may be related to its inhibition of TGF-β1/Smad3/4 and p-ERK1/2 pathway proteins.

    Abstract Nitrate is the preferred nitrogen source for plants and plays an important role in plant growth and development. Under various soil stresses, plants reallocate nitrate to roots to promote stress tolerance through the ethylene-ethylene response factors (ERFs)-nitrate transporter (NRT) signaling module. As a light signal, ultraviolet B (UV-B) also stimulates the production of ethylene. However, whether UV-B regulates nitrate reallocation in plants via ethylene remains unknown. Here, we found that UV-B-induced expression of

    Abstract Background: The comparative length of telomeres is considered to be related to diseases such as cancer, aging, and cardiovascular diseases. qPCR is currently one of the main methods for detecting telomere length. However, due to the unique sequence of telomeres (highly repetitive six-base sequence), it is difficult to design primers and probes to expand and detect telomere and to put internal reference gene and telomere into the same tube for detection to reduce the possible inter-pore errors and improve amplification efficiency. Besides, the stability and accuracy of the test results are greatly affected by the difference between reference genes and telomere copy number.
    Methods: In this study, the single-copy genes were replaced with high-copy genes (300 copies) as the internal control to reduce the copy number difference of the internal genes and telomere. In addition, a multiplex qPCR system was constructed to detect the telomeres and an internal reference gene product. We also detected the lengths of telomeres in the genomic DNA in immortalized cells (293T and Hela) from different generations of cells.
    Results: We detected the comparative telomere lengths of 1500 random Chinese volunteers of different ages with the multiplex qPCR method; the result shows that the comparative length of telomeres is negatively related to age. In addition, we compared our qPCR detection method with a terminal restriction fragmentation (TRF) method. Both of them were highly consistent, indicating that the qPCR method was reliable.
    Conclusions: In conclusion, we developed a stable, convenient, and accurate comparative telomere length detection method.

    Abstract Pulmonary hypertension (PH) is a complex and multifactorial disease. An inability to fully unravel the molecular complexities has led to various clinical challenges in developing new therapies for this disease. Noncoding RNAs (ncRNAs) are RNA molecules with limited ability of coding proteins. The amount of ncRNAs is up to 98% of the whole genome's transcripts. Many ncRNAs with a regulatory function of genes have been identified to date and found to act at various steps along the protein biosynthetic process, which includes transcription, RNA maturation, translation, and protein degradation. These discoveries are fueling a new era in understanding the pathophysiology and therapeutic pathways of PH. In this chapter, we discuss the emerging role of noncoding RNAs in PH as well as other pulmonary diseases.

    Abstract Chronic myeloid leukemia is characterized by the presence of the reciprocal translocation t(9;22) and the BCR/ABL oncogene. The BCR/ABL oncogene activates multiple signaling pathways and involves the dysregulation of oncogenes during the progression of chronic myeloid leukemia. The cell division cycle protein 6, an essential regulator of DNA replication, is elevated in some human cancer cells. However, the expression of cell division cycle protein 6 in chronic myeloid leukemia and the underlying regulatory mechanism remain to be elucidated. In this study, our data showed that cell division cycle protein 6 expression was significantly upregulated in primary chronic myeloid leukemia cells and the chronic myeloid leukemia cell line K562 cells, as compared to the normal bone marrow mononuclear cells. BCR/ABL kinase inhibitor STI571 or BCR/ABL small interfering RNA could significantly downregulate cell division cycle protein 6 messenger RNA expression in K562 cells. Moreover, phosphoinositide 3-kinase/AKT pathway inhibitor LY294002 and Janus kinase/signal transducer and activator of transcription pathway inhibitor AG490 could downregulate cell division cycle protein 6 expression in K562 cells, but not RAS/mitogen-activated protein kinase pathway inhibitor PD98059 had such effect. Cell division cycle protein 6 gene silencing by small interfering RNA effectively resulted in decrease of proliferation, increase of apoptosis, and arrest of cell cycle in K562 cells. These findings have demonstrated that cell division cycle protein 6 overexpression may contribute to the high proliferation and low apoptosis in chronic myeloid leukemia cells and can be regulated by BCR/ABL signal transduction through downstream phosphoinositide 3-kinase/Akt and Janus kinase/signal transducer and activator of transcription pathways, suggesting cell division cycle protein 6 as a potential therapeutic target in chronic myeloid leukemia.

    Abstract Pulmonary fibrosis (PF) progression may be involved with arginine (Arg) metabolism and immune balance. The present study aimed to explore the effects of L-Arginine (L-Arg) and L-Norvaline (L-Nor) on bleomycin (BLM)-induced PF in mice, meanwhile, and observe dynamic changes of Arg metabolism, immune balance and crosstalk between them in PF progression. Followed intratracheal instillation of BLM or saline, Kunming mice were treated orally with saline, L-Arg, L-Nor and L-Arg + L-Nor three times a day. And the mice were sacrificed on Day 3, 14 and 28 after treatment. Changes of body weight, lung index, lung hydroxyproline and histopathology were analyzed to evaluate the PF degree. Peripheral blood Arg, Citrulline (Cit), Ornithine (Orn) and Proline (Pro), lung NO, NOS and arginase were analyzed to evaluate the Arg metabolism. Peripheral blood Tregs, Th17 and γδT cells were analyzed to evaluate the immune balance. Our data showed that combination of L-Arg and L-Nor dynamically reversed the weight loss, decreased lung index and hydroxyproline, and improved lung histopathological damages induced by BLM. The combination dynamically and significantly rectified Tregs, Th17, γδT and Tregs/Th17 abnormal changes. Meanwhile, these disorders of peripheral blood Arg, Cit, Orn, Pro, Orn/Cit and Pro/Orn, and lung NO, iNOS and TNOS were also improved accordingly. These results demonstrated that combination of L-Arg and L-Nor had inhibitory effects on BLM-induced PF progression, possibly due to their corrective action on immune imbalance, Arg metabolism disorder and crosstalk abnormality in the progression of PF.

    Abstract The copy number variation (CNV) is an important genetic marker in cancer and other diseases. To detect CNVs of specific genetic loci, the multiplex ligation-dependent probe amplification (MLPA) is an appropriate approach, but the experimental optimization and probe synthesis are still great challenges. The multiplex competitive PCR is an alternative method for CNV detection. However, the construction of internal competitive template and establishment of a stable multiplex PCR system are the main limiting factors for this method. Here, we introduce a novel multiplex fluorescent competitive PCR (NMFC-PCR) for detecting CNVs. In this method, the blunt hairpin primers are used to rapidly establish a stable multiplex PCR system due to the reduction of non-specific amplification, and limited cycles' amplification is used to obtain the internal competitive template instead of artificial synthesis. With this method, we tested 21 clinical samples with potential LIM homeobox 1 (LHX1) or T-box 6 (TBX6) deletion. Every three segments located on the LHX1 and TBX6 were selected as the target regions, while two segments located on X-chromosome and five segments located on autosome were selected as the reference regions for detecting CNVs. The results showed that the gender information of 21 samples can be accurately inferred by the copy number ratio (CNR) of X-chromosomal reference region to autosomal reference region (X/A), and 2 samples had one copy of LHX1 and 9 samples had one copy of TBX6. To evaluate the accuracy of NMFC-PCR, 5 random samples with CNV were also detected by array-based comparative genomic hybridization (aCGH), and the results of aCGH were consistent with the NMFC-PCR results. To further assess the performance of NMFC-PCR, 60 normal samples were simultaneously tested. The results showed that the gender results were exactly the same as known information, and CNVs of LHX1 or TBX6 were not found. In conclusion, the method is a cheap, efficient, accurate, and convenient competitive PCR method for CNV detection.
