Activated SIRT1 contributes to DPT-induced glioma cell parthanatos by upregulation of NOX2 and NAT10.

Parthanatos is a type of programmed cell death dependent on hyper-activation of poly (ADP-ribose) polymerase 1 (PARP-1). SIRT1 is a highly conserved nuclear deacetylase and often acts as an inhibitor of parthanatos by deacetylation of PARP1. Our previous study showed that deoxypodophyllotoxin (DPT), a natural compound isolated from the traditional herb Anthriscus sylvestris, triggered glioma cell death via parthanatos.

Interacts with to Improve Growth Performance of Aphids under Amino Acid Stress.

Amino acids play a crucial role in the growth and development of insects. Aphids cannot ingest enough amino acids in plant phloem to meet their requirements, and therefore, they are mainly dependent on the obligate symbiont Buchnera aphidicola to synthesize essential amino acids. Besides , aphids may harbor another facultative symbiont, , which alters the requirement of the cotton-melon aphid Aphis gossypii for amino acid.
