Genome-Wide Identification and Characterization of Soybean GmLOR Gene Family and Expression Analysis in Response to Abiotic Stresses

The LOR (LURP-one related) family genes encode proteins containing a conserved LOR domain. Several members of the LOR family genes are required for defense against Hyaloperonospora parasitica (Hpa) in Arabidopsis. However, there are few reports of LOR genes in response to abiotic stresses in plants. In this study, a genome-wide survey and expression levels in response to abiotic stresses of 36 LOR genes from Glycine max were conducted. The results indicated that the GmLOR gene family was divided into eight subgroups, distributed on 14 chromosomes. A majority of members contained three extremely conservative motifs. There were four pairs of tandem duplicated GmLORs and nineteen pairs of segmental duplicated genes identified, which led to the expansion of the number of GmLOR genes. The expansion patterns of the GmLOR family were mainly segmental duplication. A heatmap of soybean LOR family genes showed that 36 GmLOR genes exhibited various expression patterns in different tissues. The cis-acting elements in promoter regions of GmLORs include abiotic stress-responsive elements, such as dehydration-responsive elements and drought-inducible elements. Real-time quantitative PCR was used to detect the expression level of GmLOR genes, and most of them were expressed in the leaf or root except that GmLOR6 was induced by osmotic and salt stresses. Moreover, GmLOR4/10/14/19 were significantly upregulated after PEG and salt treatments, indicating important roles in the improvement of plant tolerance to abiotic stress. Overall, our study provides a foundation for future investigations of GmLOR gene functions in soybean.     

Deep Sequencing Analysis of miRNA Expression in Breast Muscle of Fast-Growing and Slow-Growing Broilers

Growth performance is an important economic trait in chicken. MicroRNAs (miRNAs) have been shown to play important roles in various biological processes, but their functions in chicken growth are not yet clear. To investigate the function of miRNAs in chicken growth, breast muscle tissues of the two-tail samples (highest and lowest body weight) from Recessive White Rock (WRR) and Xinghua Chickens (XH) were performed on high throughput small RNA deep sequencing. In this study, a total of 921 miRNAs were identified, including 733 known mature miRNAs and 188 novel miRNAs. There were 200, 279, 257 and 297 differentially expressed miRNAs in the comparisons of WRRh vs. WRRl, WRRh vs. XHh, WRRl vs. XHl, and XHh vs. XHl group, respectively. A total of 22 highly differentially expressed miRNAs (fold change > 2 or < 0.5; p-value < 0.05; q-value < 0.01), which also have abundant expression (read counts > 1000) were found in our comparisons. As far as two analyses (WRRh vs. WRRl, and XHh vs. XHl) are concerned, we found 80 common differentially expressed miRNAs, while 110 miRNAs were found in WRRh vs. XHh and WRRl vs. XHl. Furthermore, 26 common miRNAs were identified among all four comparisons. Four differentially expressed miRNAs (miR-223, miR-16, miR-205a and miR-222b-5p) were validated by quantitative real-time RT-PCR (qRT-PCR). Regulatory networks of interactions among miRNAs and their targets were constructed using integrative miRNA target-prediction and network-analysis. Growth hormone receptor (GHR) was confirmed as a target of miR-146b-3p by dual-luciferase assay and qPCR, indicating that miR-34c, miR-223, miR-146b-3p, miR-21 and miR-205a are key growth-related target genes in the network. These miRNAs are proposed as candidate miRNAs for future studies concerning miRNA-target function on regulation of chicken growth.     

Discovery and in Vivo Evaluation of Novel RGD-Modified Lipid-Polymer Hybrid Nanoparticles for Targeted Drug Delivery

In the current study, the lipid-shell and polymer-core hybrid nanoparticles (lpNPs) modified by Arg–Gly–Asp(RGD) peptide, loaded with curcumin (Cur), were developed by emulsification-solvent volatilization method. The RGD-modified hybrid nanoparticles (RGD–lpNPs) could overcome the poor water solubility of Cur to meet the requirement of intravenous administration and tumor active targeting. The obtained optimal RGD-lpNPs, composed of PLGA (poly(lactic-co-glycolic acid))–mPEG (methoxyl poly(ethylene- glycol)), RGD–polyethylene glycol (PEG)–cholesterol (Chol) copolymers and lipids, had good entrapment efficiency, submicron size and negatively neutral surface charge. The core-shell structure of RGD–lpNPs was verified by TEM. Cytotoxicity analysis demonstrated that the RGD–lpNPs encapsulated Cur retained potent anti-tumor effects. Flow cytometry analysis revealed the cellular uptake of Cur encapsulated in the RGD–lpNPs was increased for human umbilical vein endothelial cells (HUVEC). Furthermore, Cur loaded RGD–lpNPs were more effective in inhibiting tumor growth in a subcutaneous B16 melanoma tumor model. The results of immunofluorescent and immunohistochemical studies by Cur loaded RGD–lpNPs therapies indicated that more apoptotic cells, fewer microvessels, and fewer proliferation-positive cells were observed. In conclusion, RGD–lpNPs encapsulating Cur were developed with enhanced anti-tumor activity in melanoma, and Cur loaded RGD–lpNPs represent an excellent tumor targeted formulation of Cur which might be an attractive candidate for cancer therapy.     

Influence of a synthetic ureido nucleating agent on crystallization behavior and mechanical properties of polyamide 6

A synthetic ureido mixture prepared from the reaction of 4,4′‐diphenylmethane disocynanate (MDI) and cyclohexylamine without using any harmful organic solvents, has been used as a nucleating agent (PNA) for polyamide 6 (PA6). The effect of PNA on the crystallization and mechanical properties of PA6 has been studied by means of differential scanning calorimetry (DSC), polarized optical microscopy (POM), tensile test, melt flow index (MFI), and X‐ray diffraction (XRD). The results show that PNA is an effective nucleation agent for PA6. PNA affects the nucleation mechanism of PA6, and substantially accelerates the crystallization rate of PA6 and gives rise to smaller crystal size. In comparison with PA6, the crystallization temperature (T_c) of PA6/PNA (100/0.5) increases 21.3°C and the degree of sub‐cooling (ΔT_c) decreases 23.7°C. Furthermore, because of the heterogeneous nucleation induced by PNA, the spherulites of PA6 become even and tiny based on POM observation. Polymorph transform has been obtained from XRD analysis. The virgin PA6 is free of γ‐phase crystals, presented as α‐phase crystals in this study, but γ‐phase crystal appears after the introduction of PNA. The mechanical and thermal properties of PA6 are obviously improved by the addition of PNA. POLYM. ENG. SCI., 55:2011–2017, 2015. © 2015 Society of Plastics Engineers

Relationship between dielectric behaviors and conversion of MMA during polymerization process

Poly(methyl methacrylate), which is prepared by polymerization of methyl methacrylate (MMA), is widely used in the fabrication of polymer optical fiber and devices. In this article, a dielectric measurement method was proposed to monitor the polymerization process. The measurement result is compared with that obtained by the traditional Abbe's refractometer method. By monitoring the dielectric behaviors of polymerization system, the correlation between dielectric properties of reacting bulk and conversion of MMA was established. The influence of reactive temperature, reactive time, conversion rate of prepolymerization, and oxygen environment was discussed. It was shown that the gel effect occurred at 2 h at the reactive temperature of 50°C when the conversion of prepolymer was about 24% with the absence of oxygen. The conversion rate obtained by Abbe's refractometer method was larger than that measured by dielectric method in the reaction metaphase. © 2012 Wiley Periodicals, Inc. J Appl Polym Sci, 2012
