Intermittent injections of parathyroid hormone(iPTH) are applied clinically to stimulate bone formation by osteoblasts, although continuous elevation of parathyroid hormone(PTH) primarily results in increased bone resorption. Here, we identified Calca,encoding the sepsis biomarker procalcitonin(ProCT), as a novel target gene of PTH in murine osteoblasts that inhibits osteoclast formation. During iPTH treatment, mice lacking ProCT develop increased bone resorption with excessive osteoclast formation in both the long bones and axial skeleton. Mechanistically, ProCT inhibits the expression of key mediators involved in the recruitment of macrophages, representing osteoclast precursors. Accordingly, ProCT arrests macrophage migration and causes inhibition of early but not late osteoclastogenesis. In conclusion, our results reveal a potential role of osteoblast-derived ProCT in the bone microenvironment that is required to limit bone resorption during iPTH.

Nano Research 2015年第11期8卷 3480-3487页

Here, we report on hierarchical mechanical behavior of 500-nm-thick Conanocrystal 3D superlattices （supracrystals） induced by either the crystalline structure （nanocrystallinity） or the length of the coating agent of Co nanocrystals. Increasing the nanocrystal shape anisotropy of Co nanocrystals through the control of their nanocrystallinities induces a higher level of ordering with both translational and orientational alignment of nanocrystals within the supracrystals. The hierarchy in ordering at various scales, i.e., from the atomic lattice within the nanocrystals to the nanocrystal superlattices within supracrystals, is correlated with marked changes in the Young＇s modulus of supracrystals： From 0.7 ±0.4 to 1.7 ±0.5 and to 6.6 ±1.5 GPa as the crystalline structure of Co nanoparticles changes from amorphous-Co to ε-Co and to hexagonal compact packing （hcp）-Co, respectively. Moreover, for supracrystals of 7 nm amorphous Co nanoparticles, the Young＇s modulus decreases by one order of magnitude from 0.7 ±0.4 to 0.08 ±0.03 GPa upon reducing the alkyl chain length of the ligands coating the Co nanoparticles from C18 （oleic acid） to C12 （lauric acid）. The hierarchical mechanical behavior is rationalized using a dimensional model of the stress-strain relationship in supracrystals.

Do black-furred animals compensate for high solar absorption with smaller hairs？ A test with a polymorphic squirrel species

引用

Current Zoology 2011年第6期57卷 731-736页

作者： melanie A. FRATTO Andrew K. DAVIS Odum School of Ecology The University of Georgia Athens GA USA 30602

In polymorphic mammalian species that display multiple color forms, those with dark, or melanic pelage would be prone to overheating, especially if they live in warm climates, because their fur absorbs solar energy at a higher rate. However, experimental studies indicate that certain physical properties of fur of dark individuals appear to prevent, or minimize heat stress, although it is not clear what properties do so. Here, we tested the possibility that black-furred individuals simply have shorter or thinner hair fibers, which would create a lighter （in terms of weight） coat or one that allows greater air flow for evaporative coo- ling. We examined museum specimens of eastern fox squirrels Sciurus niger, a species native to the United States and one that displays brown, grey or all-black pelage color, and used image analysis procedures to quantify hairs from the dorsal surface and tail. From examination of 43 specimens （19 brown, 9 black and 15 grey）, and 1,720 hairs, we found no significant difference in hair lengths across color morphs, but significant differences in hair fiber widths. Black squirrels had thinner body hairs than other forms （7% thinner）, but thicker tail hairs （9% thicker） than the others. Given that the dorsal surface would be directly exposed to solar radiation, we interpret this to be an adaptation to prevent heat stress during the day. The thicker tail hairs may be an adapta- tion for nighttime thermoregulation, since squirrels sleep with their tails wrapped around their bodies. These results add to a growing literature body of the functional significance of mammalian pelage [Current Zoology 57 （6）： 731-736, 2011].

Aggregation and mating success of Capnodis tenebrionis （Coleoptera： Buprestidae）

Insect Science 2014年第2期21卷 203-212页

An understanding of the relative importance of extrinsic and intrinsic factors in determining the potential distribution and mating success of individuals is critical for the successful monitoring and management of pest species. Using a combination of field observations and a caged field experiment, we explored the roles of environmental and individual variation on the formation of mating aggregations and mating success in the buprestid beetle Capnodis tenebrionis （Linnaeus, 1767）, a pest species of stone fruit trees. Our field observations revealed that the formation of aggregations is influenced by a range of environmental factors including temperature, photoperiod, and population density. However, aggregations were not at random and were more likely to occur on the section of the plant with highest incidence of solar radiation and thus higher temperatures. Data from our experiment with caged beetles in the field further indicate that the reproductive behavior of this species varies with temperature. The probability of a successful mating occurring was also positively related to both male and female size. Females of C. tenebrionis mate several times over a 4-h period, but generally not with the same male. Information obtained from these studies is useful to define the most appropriate time for pest control, especially adopting strategies that interfere with reproduction.

New Insight in Ethylene Signaling： Autokinase Activity of ETR1 Modulates the Interaction of Receptors and EIN2

引用

Molecular Plant 2010年第5期3卷 882-889页

作者： melanie M.A. Bisson Georg Groth Heinrich-Heine Universitat Dusseldorf Biochemie der Pflanzen Universitatsstr. 1 40225 Dosseldorf Germany

Ethylene insensitive 2 （EIN2）, an integral membrane protein of the ER network, has been identified as the central regulator of the ethylene signaling pathway. Still, the mechanism by which the ethylene signal is transferred from the receptors to EIN2 has not been solved yet. Here, we show that protein phosphorylation is a key mechanism to control the interaction of EIN2 and the receptors. In vivo and in vitro fluorescence studies reveal that the kinase domain of the receptors is essential for the interaction. Cyanide, an ethylene agonist, which is known to reduce auto-phosphorylation of the ethylene receptor ethylene resistant 1 （ETR1） or a mutation in the kinase domain of ETR1 that prevents autophosphorylation （H353A）, increases the affinity of the receptors for EIN2. On the other hand, mimicking permanent auto-phosphorylation of ETR1 as in the mutant H353E releases the EiN2-ETR1 interaction from the control by the plant hormone. Based on our data, we propose a novel model on the integration of EIN2 in the ethylene signaling cascade.

Targeting Plant Ethylene Responses by Controlling Essential Protein-Protein Interactions in the Ethylene Pathway

引用

Molecular Plant 2015年第8期8卷 1165-1174页

作者： melanie M.A. Bisson Georg Groth Institute of Biochemical Plant Physiology Heinrich-Heine University Dusseldorf D-40204 Dusseldorf Germany

The gaseous plant hormone ethylene regulates many processes of high agronomic relevance throughout the life span of plants. A central element in ethylene signaling is the endoplasmic reticulum （ER）-Iocalized membrane protein ETHYLENE INSENSITIVE2 （EIN2）. Recent studies indicate that in response to ethylene, the extra-membranous C-terminal end of EIN2 is proteolytically processed and translocated from the ER to the nucleus. Here, we report that the conserved nuclear localization signal （NLS） mediating nuclear import of the EIN2 C-terminus provides an important domain for complex formation with ethylene receptor ETHYLENE RESPONSE1 （ETR1）. EIN2 lacking the NLS domain shows strongly reduced affinity for the receptor. Interaction of EIN2 and ETR1 is also blocked by a synthetic peptide of the NLS motif. The corre- sponding peptide substantially reduces ethylene responses in planta. Our results uncover a novel mecha- nism and type of inhibitor interfering with ethylene signal transduction and ethylene responses in plants. Disruption of essential protein-protein interactions in the ethylene signaling pathway as shown in our study for the EIN2-ETR1 complex has the potential to guide the development of innovative ethylene antagonists for modern agriculture and horticulture.

Journal of Environmental Sciences 2015年第11期27卷 91-99页

作者： Gagne Francois Douville melanie Fortier Marlene Fournier Michel Aquatic Contaminants Research Division Water Science and Technology INRS-Institut Armand-Frappier

The purpose of this study was to examine the cumulative effects of exposure to a pathogenic bacteria and municipal effluent in the freshwater mussel Elliptio complanata. Mussels were exposed to increasing concentrations of an ozone-treated effluent at 15°C for 7 days. A sub-group of mussels was inoculated with Vibrio anguillarum and exposed to the same conditions as *** the exposure period, mussels were collected to assess hemocyte count and viability,immunocompetence（phagocytosis and nitrite production）, oxidative stress/inflammation（cyclooxygenase and lipid peroxidation） and oxygen radical/xenobiotic scavenging activity（metallothioniens, glutathione S-transferase）. The results showed that mussels exposed to municipal effluent had increased hemocyte counts, phagocytosis, nitrites, lipid peroxidation and metallothioneins. In the inoculated mussels, the same responses were observed, in addition to cyclooxygenase and glutathione S-transferase activities. Multivariate analyses revealed that（1）the response pattern changed with effluent concentration, where increased responses observed at low effluent concentrations（〉10%, V/V） were attenuated at higher effluent concentrations,（2）the effluent produced more pronounced changes in lipid peroxidation, metallothionein and hemocyte viability, and（3） the simultaneous presence of V. anguillarum led to more important changes in hemocyte count and viability and nitrite levels. In conclusion, the presence of *** could alter the response of mussels to municipal effluent, which could lead to increased inflammation in mussels.
