摘要:
A piezoelectric quartz crystal impedance (PQCI) sensor was used to investigate influences of the insecticide methamidophos on proteinase activity in midguts of the wolf spider, Pardosa pseudoamulata (Araneae: Lycosidae). Results from PQCI indicated that low-concentration dose methamidophos (0.008%) can activate the proteinase but high-concentration dose methamidophos (0.016-0.032%) can inhibit the enzyme activity. The changes in subcellular structure of spider midgut cells were also observed. Electron micrographs of spider midgut epithelial cells showed that the low-dose methamidophos did not visibly impact the structure of these cells. Conversely, high-concentration dose methamidophos led to severe changes in the cell structure, including the karyotheca dissolved, the nucleolus, and the endoplasmic reticulum disappeared. These may contribute to changes in proteinase activity of spider. This work documents a feasible method for rapid and reliable detection of proteinase activity.

摘要:
The antineoplastic gefitinib has a low aqueous solubility, leading to poor absorption rates. To overcome this problem, microparticles (MP) were prepared using solution-enhanced dispersion by supercritical fluids (SEDS) with supercritical CO2 and the cosolvents dichloromethane and ethanol. The results showed that the use of SEDS resulted in the formation of smaller particles and rendered the usually heterogeneous crystals of the crude drug pure and uniform. Furthermore, the reduction in the MP size increased the dissolution rate of gefitinib, and in vitro cytotoxicity assays indicated that the MP inhibited the proliferation of A549 cells to a larger extent than did the crude drug. Given the beneficial properties of the MP, SEDS could potentially be used to micronize drugs for therapeutic applications. © 2019 WILEY-VCH Verlag GmbH & Co. KGaA, Weinheim

摘要:
Cytochrome P450 enzymes (CYPs), encoded by Halloween genes, mediate the biosynthesis of molting hormone, ecdysteroids, in arthropods. In this report, the effect of heavy metal cadmium (Cd) stress on the expression of cytochrome P450 genes in the wolf spider Pardosa pseudoannulata was analyzed. The results showed the expression levels of genes encoding for Cd transporters including ABC transporters, zinc transporters, calcium channel proteins and calcium binding proteins were inhibited or induced by Cd stress. In addition, the increase in metallothionein (MT) content and glutathione peroxidase (GPX) activity and decrease in total acetylcholine esterase (AChE) activity were also detected. Apparently, these detoxification methods did not completely protect the spider from the cytotoxicity of Cd stress. Increased mortality of P. pseudoannulata was observed when they were under Cd tress. In total 569 CYP genes belonging to 62 CYP subfamilies were obtained from P. pseudoannulata RNA-seq databases. BlaxtX analysis showed that 150, 161, 11, and 40 CYP genes were similar to the genes dib, phm, sad and shd, respectively, which are thought to catalyze the biosynthesis of ecdysteroids. Gene expression analysis suggested that 25 dib encoding genes, 27 phm encoding genes, 2 sad encoding genes, and 6 shd encoding genes were differentially expressed in TS2 vs. S2 comparison (Cd-treated 2nd instar spider vs. 2nd instar spider), respectively. There were 70 dib, 70 phm and 19 shd encoding genes either upregulated or downregulated, while 3 sad encoding genes were upregulated in TS5 vs. S5 (Cd-treated 5nd instar spider vs. 5nd instar spider). Genes related to heme binding and essential for activating the CYPs were also differentially expressed. Expression levels of cuticle related genes were significant differentially expressed, implying the changes in activities of chitin synthases and chitinase. Therefore we assume that unsuccessful molting process may occur on P. pseudoannulata due to influenced ecdysteroids levels, thus increasing mortality of spider.

摘要:
Due to some similarity of innate immunity between insects and mammals, the study of the molecular mechanism of innate immunity in insects has become a focus of research. However, the exact molecular and cellular basis of immune system in insect remains poorly understood. Characterization of the transcriptomic response to Cd of spider is an effective approach to understanding the innate immunity mechanisms. In this study, we carried out transcriptome sequencing and gene expression analyses to develop molecular resources for Pardosa pseudoannulata venom glands with and without Cd treatments. A total of 92,778 assembled unigenes and 237 Cd stress-associated differentially expressed genes between the Cd-treated and control groups were obtained. Expression profile analysis demonstrated that immunity-related genes involved in bacterial invasion of epithelial cells, leukocyte transendothelial migration, platelet activation, apoptosis, phagosome, and Rap1 signaling pathway were upregulated by Cd exposure, except the genes involved in PPAR signaling pathway were downregulated. Our results provide the first comprehensive transcriptome dataset of venom glands in P. pseudoannulata response to Cd, which is valuable for throws light on the immunotoxicity mechanism of Cd, and the innate immunity complexity. © 2018, Springer-Verlag GmbH Germany, part of Springer Nature.

摘要:
The frequent occurrence of Microcystis aeruginosa blooms benefit from the dormant Microcystis cells, which will be recruited from sediment into overlying water to form a dominant population and algal blooms when external environmental conditions are suitable. Previous studies have unveiled factors involved in M. aeruginosa recruitment and bloom initiation, including nutrition, illumination, temperature, and hydrodynamic force. In this study, three dominant benthic bacterial species isolated from Lake Chongtian with frequent blooms-forming were identified through next generation sequencing (NGS) techniques, and laboratory experiments were conducted on the recruitment of dormant M. aeruginosa cells via co-culture with these bacteria at 10 °C, 15 °C, 20 °C and 25 °C. The results showed that the bacterial strains in sediment proliferated quickly before recruitment of dormant M. aeruginosa cells, subsequently significantly promoted the recruitment of dormant M. aeruginosa via allelochemical (metabolite) production, lower N:P values and lower dissolved oxygen concentrations in the sediment-water interface, and enhanced photosynthesis of M. aeruginosa cells. Furthermore, dormant M. aeruginosa was recruited from sediment at 10 °C when bacterial activity was present, but not recruited when bacterial activity was absent. At 15 °C,20 °Cand 25 °C, there were no remarkable differences in the recruitment rate of dormant M. aeruginosa cells among all bacterial groups, although their recruitment rate were significantly higher than that at 10 °C.These findings suggested that, under laboratory conditions, three benthic bacteria not only had a great influence on promoting the recruitment of dormant M. aeruginosa cells under desirable temperatures, but also can spur recruitment of dormant M. aeruginosacells from sediment at lower temperature (10 °C). © 2018 Elsevier B.V.

摘要:
Scorpion venoms are important sources for identifying and developing promising biomolecules for cancer treatment. To search for promising biomolecules for cancer research, the effects of crude venom from the scorpion Heterometrus liangi (HLSN) on the proliferation, apoptosis and underline molecular mechanisms of HeLa cells were investigated and compared with that of Buthus martensii (BMK). RT-PCR, Western blot and immunohistochemical staining were used to evaluate the expression levels of p21 in the control and treated cells. The present data showed that when HeLa cells were exposed to HLSN venom for 24 and 48 h, the venom inhibited HeLa cell proliferation in a dose-dependent manner as determined by the methyl thiazolyl tetrazolium (MTT) assay, caused marked morphological changes as revealed by hematoxylin and eosin (HE) staining, scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and transmission electron microscopy (TEM), and induced apoptosis as shown by flow cytometry (FCM). Western blot and RT-PCR analysis revealed that the expression of p21 protein was upregulated at both transcriptional and translational levels, as supported by immunohistochemical staining. Therefore, HLSN crude venom, similar to BMK venom, inhibits proliferation and induces apoptosis in HeLa cells via the induction of p21 expression while it has little adverse effect on non cancer human umbilical vein endothelial (HUVEC-21) cells. © 2018, Institute of Zoology, Slovak Academy of Sciences.

摘要:
Cadmium (Cd) generates a variety of physiological and ecological toxicity to spiders. However, little is known about the effects of Cd on symbiotic bacteria of spiders. Metatranscriptomics is increasing our knowledge of microorganisms in environment. To better understand the impact of Cd on the symbiotic bacteria of spiders, we generated and compared the metatranscriptomes of the intestinal microorganisms of Pardosa pseudoannulata with and without Cd stress. The community structure of intestinal microorganisms in P. pseudoannulata was composed of 4 kingdoms, namely bacteria, viruses, eukaryotes and archaea, including 46 phyla, 97 classes, 184 orders, 339 families, 470 genera, and 598 species. The abundance of eukaryotes, bacteria and viruses was decreased by 0.14%, 1.22% and 2.52% respectively while the archaea was increased by 99.16% when under Cd stress. We identified 1519 differentially expressed genes (DEGs), including 770 up-regulated and 749 down-regulated genes. The results of KEGG annotation revealed that the expression of genes that are involved in the carbon metabolism, protein and amino acid metabolism and synthesis, glucose metabolism, oxidative phosphorylation, and glutathione metabolism were influenced by Cd. Collectively, these findings showed that Cd significantly impacted the community structure and expression of related functional genes of intestinal microorganisms in P. pseudoannulata. © 2018 Elsevier Inc.

摘要:
Since 2007, large-scale green tides dominated by Ulva prolifera consecutively bloomed in the Yellow Sea and caused great economic losses. The fouling U. prolifera on the Pyropia yezoensis aquaculture rafts in the Subei Shoal was regarded as the major source of the floating biomass. However, it was still unclear about the seed source of fouling green macroalgae attached on the rafts. In this study, the field surveys and the indoor experiments were conducted to reveal the source of propagules of the fouling green macroalgae on the rafts and to study the anti-fouling material for P. yezoensis aquaculture rafts which could possibly be a feasible strategy to control the green tides in the Yellow Sea. The results showed that (1) micro-propagules of several green macroalgal species, including U. prolifera, U. linza, U. compressa, U. flexuosa, and Blidingia sp. coexisted in the waters and sediments in the Subei Shoal and their proportion remarkably changed over time; (2) the bamboo poles with peeling treatment could significantly reduce the amount of U. prolifera micro-propagules attached. This study confirmed that the micro-propagules distributed in the Subei Shoal area were the precursors of the green tides, and provided a feasible method to control the Yellow Sea large-scale green tides at the beginning. © 2018, The Chinese Society of Oceanography and Springer-Verlag GmbH Germany, part of Springer Nature.

摘要:
Many laboratory and field studies have been conducted on rice field spiders in China. There are 375 species, 108 genera, and 22 families of rice field spiders distributed within the major rice growing areas and 17 dominant species. The biological and ecological characteristics of 17 rice field spider species have been reported in detail. The biology and ecology of these species show significant differences among regions, farmland habitats, and agricultural practices. Future research should focus on rice field habitat diversity, enhancing the insecticide resistance of dominant spider populations, implementing large-scale breeding of spiders and augmentative release, breeding more leaf dominant species, conducting biosafety assessment of spiders in transgenic crops.

摘要:
Rosiglitazone (RG) is a well-known activator of peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor-gamma (PPARγ) and used to treat hyperglycemia and type 2 diabetes; however, its clinical application has been confounded by adverse side effects. Here, we assessed the roles of chlorogenic acid (CGA), a phenolic secondary metabolite found in many fruits and vegetables, on the differentiation and lipolysis of mouse 3T3-L1 preadipocytes. The results showed that CGA promoted differentiation in vitro according to oil red O staining and quantitative polymerase chain reaction assays. As a potential molecular mechanism, CGA downregulated mRNA levels of the adipocyte differentiation-inhibitor gene Pref1 and upregulated those of major adipogenic transcriptional factors (Cebpb and Srebp1). Additionally, CGA upregulated the expression of the differentiation-related transcriptional factor PPARγ2 at both the mRNA and protein levels. However, following CGA intervention, the accumulation of intracellular triacylglycerides following preadipocyte differentiation was significantly lower than that in the RG group. Consistent with this, our data indicated that CGA treatment significantly upregulated the expression of lipogenic pathway-related genes Plin and Srebp1 during the differentiation stage, although the influence of CGA was weaker than that of RG. Notably, CGA upregulated the expression of the lipolysis-related gene Hsl, whereas it did not increase the expression of the lipid synthesis-related gene Dgat1. These results demonstrated that CGA might function as a potential PPARγ agonist similar to RG; however, the impact of CGA on lipolysis in 3T3-L1 preadipocytes differed from that of RG. © 2018 Shu-guang Peng et al.

Cadmium (Cd) is a heavy metal that can cause irreversible toxicity to animals, and is an environmental pollutant in farmlands. Spiders are considered to be an excellent model for investigating the impacts of heavy metals on the environment. To date, the changes at the molecular level in the cerebral ganglia of spiders are poorly understood. Cd exposure leads to strong damage in the nervous system, such as apoptosis and necrosis of nerve cells, therefore we conducted a transcriptomic analysis of Pardosa pseudoannulata cerebral ganglia under Cd stress to profile differential gene expression (DGE). We obtained a total of 123,328 assembled unigenes, and 1441 Cd stress-associated DEGs between the Cd-treated and control groups. Expression profile analysis demonstrated that many genes involved in calcium signaling, cGMP—PKG signaling, tyrosine metabolism, phototransduction–fly, melanogenesis and isoquinoline alkaloid biosynthesis were up-regulated under Cd stress, whereas oxidative phosphorylation-related, nervous disease-associated, non-alcoholic fatty liver disease-associated, and ribosomal-associated genes were down-regulated. Here, we provide a comprehensive set of DEGs influenced by Cd stress, and heavy metal stress, and provide new information for elucidating the neurotoxic mechanisms of Cd stress in spiders. © 2018, The Author(s).

摘要:
Increasing evidence suggests that the gut microbiota plays vital roles in metabolic diseases. Polygonatum odoratum extract alleviates hyperglycemia and hyperlipidemia, but the underlying mechanism remains unclear. This study investigated the effects of P. odoratum polysaccharides (POPs) on high-fat diet (HFD)-induced obesity in rats and whether these effects were related to modulation of gut microbiota. POP treatment attenuated weight gain, fat accumulation, epididymal adipocyte size, liver triglycerides, and total liver cholesterol content in HFD-fed rats. POP administration also increased short-chain fatty acids (SCFAs), including isobutyric acid, butyric acid, and valeric acid. POP upregulated the expression of genes involved in adipocyte differentiation (Pparg, Cebpa, Cebpb) and lipolysis (Ppara, Atgl), and downregulated those related to lipid synthesis (Srebpf1, Fabp4, Fas), with corresponding changes in PPARγ and FABP4 protein expression. Finally, POP enhanced species richness and improved the gut microbiota community structure, reducing the relative abundances of Clostridium, Enterococcus, Coprobacillus, Lactococcus, and Sutterella. Principal coordinates analysis (PCoA) revealed a clear separation between HFD-fed rats and all other treatment groups. Correlation analysis identified negative and positive associations between obesity phenotypes and 28 POP-influenced operational taxonomic units (OTUs), including putative SCFA-producing bacteria. Our data suggest that POP supplementation may attenuate features of obesity in HFD-fed rats in association with the modulation of gut microbiota.

摘要:
Cadmium (Cd) can be transferred and accumulated in spiders, posing a survival risk to them. To analyze potential biological damage caused by Cd accumulation and relevant detoxification strategies employed by spiders in response to Cd exposure, we conducted transcriptome analysis of the 5th instar spider P. pseudoannulata, a common spider species playing a vital role in natural pest control in agricultural fields of southern China. We obtained 92,778 unigenes with an average length of 1104 bp and identified 302, 655, and 424 differentially expressed genes (DEGs) in the spiders fed with Cd-containing fruit flies for 2, 5, and 8 days, respectively. Results showed that the body mass of Cd-containing P. pseudoannulata were reduced when compared with controls, presumably due to delayed maturation of tissues and organs. Meanwhile, functional analysis of DEGs indicated that Cd may have a negative effect on neural signal transduction and molt cycle of the spider. For defense strategies, detoxification enzymes like glutathione S-transferase (GST), catalase (CAT), superoxide dismutase (SOD), and P450, and typical proteins like heat shock protein and metallothionein were all differentially expressed in response to Cd stress. Besides, innate immune responses like toll-like receptor signaling pathways were also upregulated. Multiple critical Cd-responsive genes involved in biological damage, detoxification, and immune response were identified, providing referable foundation for further research on Cd toxicity to P. pseudoannulata. © 2018, Springer-Verlag GmbH Germany, part of Springer Nature.

摘要:
将起始浓度不同的单菌和混合菌(Ba.sp06+Str.v13)分别与铜绿微囊藻休眠体及底泥共包埋,在梯度温度下进行24 d休眠体复苏实验.结果表明,温度低于10 ℃时,菌株Str.v13的生长增殖能力显著强于菌株Ba.sp06,各菌组休眠体复苏率最高为0.02%;在温度为15和20 ℃条件下,Ba.sp06与Str.v13两菌株浓度比例(以下简称“菌比”)为1∶1时混合菌组休眠体复苏率(15 ℃时为15.5%,20 ℃时为23.5%)与对照组无显著差异(15 ℃时为15%,20 ℃时为22.6%),但显著低于Ba.sp06单菌组(34.5%);菌比2∶1时Ba.sp06菌对Str.v13菌具抑制效应,混合菌组复苏率(15 ℃时为31%, 20 ℃时为35%)显著高于对照组,而与Ba.sp06单菌组无显著差异;菌比为1∶2时Str.v13菌对Ba.sp06菌具抑制效应,混合菌组休眠体复苏率(15 ℃时为6%,20 ℃时为6.5%)均显著低于菌比为1∶1、2∶1时及Ba.sp06单菌组,但高于Str.v13单菌组(3%).同时,各复苏阶段对复苏率的贡献主要集中在启动复苏的第12~ 18 d.实验表明,底泥表层铜绿微囊藻休眠体复苏不仅受温度影响(>10 ℃),且复苏率受底栖菌Ba.sp06与Str.v13的起始浓度影响,Ba.sp06菌的起始浓度高于Str.v13菌时促进休眠体复苏,低于Str.v13菌时复苏受到抑制.因此,可以在铜绿微囊藻休眠体复苏前期通过调节Ba.sp06与Str.v13菌比来调控休眠体复苏率,为从源头防控微囊藻水华暴发提供理论依据.

摘要:
Since the birth of transgenic crops expressing Bacillus thuringiensis (Bt) toxin for pest control, the public debate regarding ecological and environmental risks as well as benefits of Bt crops has continued unabated. The impact of Bt crops, especially on non-target invertebrates, has received particular attention. In this review, we summarize and analyze evidences for non-target effects of Bt rice on spiders, major predators in rice fields. Bt rice has been genetically modified to express the Bt protein, which has been shown to be transferred and accumulate in spiders as part of their food chain. Moreover, the Bt protein exhibits unintended effects on the physiology of spiders and spreads to higher trophic levels. Spiders possess unique physiological and ecological characteristics, revealing traits of surrogate species, and are thus considered to be excellent non-target arthropod model systems for study of Bt protein impacts. Due to the complexities of Bt protein transfer and accumulation mechanisms, as well as the apparent lack of information about resulting physiological, biochemical, and ecological effects on spiders, we raise questions and provide recommendations for promising further research.

摘要:
Background: Pardosa pseudoannulata is a prevailing spider species, and has been regarded as an important bio-control agent of insect pests in farmland of China. However, the available genomic and transcriptomic databases of P. pseudoannulata and their venom are limited, which severely hampers functional genomic analysis of P. pseudoannulata. Recently high-throughput sequencing technology has been proved to be an efficient tool for profiling the transcriptome of relevant non-target organisms exposed to Bacillus thuringiensis (Bt) protein through food webs. Results: In this study, the transcriptome of the venom apparatus was analyzed. A total of 113,358 non-redundant unigenes were yielded, among which 34,041 unigenes with complete or various length encoding regions were assigned biological function annotations and annotated with gene ontology and karyotic orthologous group terms. In addition, 3726 unigenes involved in response to stimulus and 720 unigenes associated with immune-response pathways were identified. Furthermore, we investigated transcriptomic changes in the venom apparatus using tag-based DGE technique. A total of 1724 differentially expressed genes (DEGs) were detected, while 75 and 372 DEGs were functionally annotated with KEGG pathways and GO terms, respectively. qPCR analyses were performed to verify the DEGs directly or indirectly related to immune and stress responses, including genes encoding heat shock protein, toll-like receptor, GST and NADH dehydrogenase. Conclusion: This is the first study conducted to specifically investigate the venom apparatus of P. pseudoannulata in response to Bt protein exposure through tritrophic chain. A substantial fraction of transcript sequences was generated by high-throughput sequencing of the venom apparatus of P. pseudoannulata. Then a comparative transcriptome analysis showing a large number of candidate genes involved in immune response were identified by the tag-based DGE technology. This transcriptome dataset will provide a comprehensive sequence resource for furture molecular genetic research of the venom apparatus of P. pseudoannulata. © 2017 The Author(s).
