Background: Plants, involved in highly complex and well-coordinated system, have evolved a considerable degree of developmental plasticity, thus minimize the damages caused by stresses. MicroRNAs (miRNAs) have recently emerged as key regulators in gene regulation, developmental processes and stress tolerance in plants. Results: In this study, systematic discovery of soybean miRNAs associated with stress response (mock, drought, salinity and alkalinity) has been identified and analyzed in combination with deep sequencing technology and in-depth bioinformatics analysis. We found that a total of 133 conserved miRNAs corresponding to 95 miRNA families have expressed in soybean under four diverse treatments. In addition, 71, 50 and 45 miRNAs are either uniquely or differently expressed under drought, salinity and alkalinity respectively, suggesting that many miRNAs are inducible and are differentially expressed in response to certain stress. Conclusion: Our study has important implications for further identification of gene regulation under abiotic stresses and also significantly contributes a complete profile of miRNAs in Glycine max.

View SamplesThe molecular mechanisms underlying stress-influenced immune function are not clear. Chicken stress models can be established effectively by feeding chickens corticosterone hormone. The bursa of Fabricius is a unique central immune organ of birds. RNA sequencing (RNA-Seq) technology was used to investigate differences in the expression profiles of immune-related genes and associated pathways in the bursa of Fabricius to clarify molecular mechanisms. The aim of this study was to broaden the understanding of the stress-influenced immune function in chickens.

View SamplesAllyl alcohol is a highly toxic industrial chemical used as a synthetic substrate, and as an herbicide in agriculture. It is evident that Allyl alcohol is metabolized by alcohol dehydrogenases (ADH) to the highly toxic Acrolein. Acrolein is a simple unsaturated aldehyde, ubiquitous environmental pollutant, endogenous metabolite and major constituent of cigarette smoke. Acrolein is highly electrophilic in nature and has strong reactivity towards nucleophiles present in cell such as amino acids, proteins and DNA.

View SamplesValproic acid (VA) is a small-chain branched fatty acid, widely used as anticonvulsant, and mood stabilizer to treat psychiatric illness. Valproic acid is also known to inhibit the histone deacetylases (HDACs), which makes it as a potent antitumor agent in alone or in combination with other cytotoxic drugs. Beside its conventional activities, valproic acid reported to have much broader, complicated effects and affect many complex physiological processes. However the molecular mechanisms of valproic acid are unclear.

View SamplesKP1019 (trans-[tetrachlorobis(1H-indazole) ruthenate(III)]) is a ruthenium complex that exhibited anti-cancer activity in several in vitro and in vivo studies. KP1019 was even efficient against cancer cells that were resistant to other chemotherapeutic agents and thus emerged as a promising anti-cancer drug without dose-limiting cytotoxicity. However, the molecular mechanisms of its action are elusive.

View SamplesIn Saccharomyces cerevisiae, Sen1 is a 252-kDa, nuclear superfamily-1 RNA/DNA helicase that encoded by an essential gene SEN1 (Senataxin). It is an important component of the Nrd1p-Nab3p-Sen1p (NRD1) complex that regulates the transcriptional termination of most non-coding and some coding transcripts at RNA polymerase pause sites. Sen1 specifically interacts with Rnt1p (RNase III), an endoribonuclease, and with Rpb1p (Rpo21p), a subunit of RNA polymerase II, through its N-terminal domain (NTD), which is a critical element of the RNA-processing machinery. Moreover, mutations in the N-terminal tail of SETX, a human ortholog of yeast Senataxin (Sen1) reported in neurological disorders.
Sen1, the homolog of human Senataxin, is critical for cell survival through regulation of redox homeostasis, mitochondrial function, and the TOR pathway in Saccharomyces cerevisiae.
