Semi-quantitative RT-PCR based transcript expression of stress responsive genes was studied in leaves of sugarcane plants exposed to short-term (up to 24 h) salt (NaCl, 200 mM) or polyethylene glycol-PEG 8000 (20% w/v) stress. Transient increase in expression of NHX (sodium proton antiporter), SUT1 (sucrose transporter1), PDH (proline dhydrogenase) and CAT2 (catalase2) was observed in response to 2-4 h PEG stress. However, salt stress imposed repression of NHX, PDH and CAT2 at these time points. The transcript level of the delta (1)-pyrolline-5-carboxylate synthetase (P5CS) increased slightly in salt treatment while in response to the PEG stress, the gene expression increased at 4 h treatment but then decreased considerably by 80% at 24 h. The results thus indicated differential regulation of these stress responsive genes in response to salt or PEG stress in sugarcane. Further, the transcript expression data was compared with that available for the Arabidopsis homologs at Arabidopsis eFP Browser and Genevestigator V3 tools. Understanding transcript gene expression patterns of the stress responsive genes may provide insights into complex regulatory network of stress tolerance.

Accumulating evidence is suggesting more frequent tropical-to-temperate transitions than previously thought. This raises the possibility that biome transitions could be facilitated by precursor traits. A wealth of ecological, genetic and physiological evidence suggests overlap between drought and frost stress responses, but the origin of this overlap, i.

Background: Colon adenocarcinoma (COAD) is a leading cause of cancer-related mortality worldwide. Transient receptor potential vanilloid 4 (TRPV4), a calcium-permeable non-selective cation channel, has been implicated in various cancers, including COAD. This study investigates the role of TRPV4 in colon adenocarcinoma and elucidates its potential mechanism via the ferroptosis pathway.

Post-weaning diarrhea (PWD) is a major concern for pig producers, as stress and early weaning increase susceptibility to enteropathogens like enterotoxigenic Escherichia coli (ETEC) and Salmonella enterica subsp. enterica serovar Typhimurium (S. Typhimurium).

Radiotherapy (RT) is widely applied in tumor therapy, but inevitable side effects, especially for skin radiation injury, are still a fatal problem and life-threatening challenge for tumor patients. The main components of topical radiation protection preparations currently available on the market are antioxidants, such as SOD, which are limited by their unstable activity and short duration of action, making it difficult to achieve the effects of radiation protection and skin radiation damage treatment. Therefore, we designed a drug-free antioxidant hydrogel patch with encapsulated bioactive epidermal growth factor (EGF) for the treatment of radiation skin injury.

Sepsis-induced acute lung injury (ALI) is a common acute and severe reason of death in the intensive care unit. Although the pathogenesis is complicated and multifactorial, elevated inflammation and oxidative stress are considered as fundamental mechanisms for the progression of ALI. Anemonin is a natural compound with diverse biological properties including anti-inflammatory and anti-oxidative effects.
