4-Aminobiphenyl (4-ABP), a well-known human carcinogen, can cause oxidative DNA damage and induce miR-513a-5p. However, the interplay between miR-513a-5p and DNA damage remains unclear. In our result of ChIP assay, we speculated that p53 as transcription factor could regulate miR-513a-5p expression. In addition, we found that miR-513a-5p-induced by 4-ABP could suppress p53 expression and HR repair activity. On the other hand, the levels of p53, miR-513a-5p, and γH2AX were attenuated by 5 mM N-acetyl-l-cysteine (NAC) pretreatment, indicating that the reactive oxygen species (ROS)-dependent p53-miR-513a-5p was involved in DSB repair in 4-ABP-treated cells. These findings indicated that the ROS/p53/miR-513a-5p/p53 loop axis plays a relevant role in regulating HR repair which may facilitate our understanding of molecular mechanisms regarding how miR-513a-5p impacts DSB repair in 4-ABP-treated cells.

An involvement of a new zinc finger protein PbrZFP719 into pear self-incompatibility reaction.

Plant Cell Rep

State Key Laboratory of Crop Genetics and Germplasm Enhancement, Saya Institute of Nanjing Agricultural University, Nanjing Agricultural University, Nanjing, 211800, China.

This study indicated that the CCHC-type zinc finger protein PbrZFP719 involves into self-incompatibility by affecting the levels of reactive oxygen species and cellulose content at the tips of pollen tubes. S-RNase-based self-incompatibility (SI) facilitates cross-pollination and prevents self-pollination, which in turn increases the costs associated with artificial pollination in fruit crops. Self S-RNase exerts its inhibitory effects on pollen tube growth by altering cell structures and components, including reactive oxygen species (ROS) level and cellulose content.

The homeotic transformation of stamens into pistil-like structures (pistillody) causes cytoplasmic male sterility (CMS). This phenomenon is widely present in plants, and might be induced by intracellular communication (mitochondrial retrograde signaling), but its systemic regulating mechanism is still unclear. In this study, morphological observation showed that the stamens transformed into pistil-like structures, leading to flat and dehiscent pistils, and fruit set decrease in sua-CMS (MS K326, somatic fusion between Nicotiana.

HFpEF is a prevalent and complex type of heart failure. The concurrent presence of conditions such as obesity, hypertension, hyperglycemia, and hyperlipidemia significantly increase the risk of developing HFpEF. Mitochondria, often referred to as the powerhouses of the cell, are crucial in maintaining cellular functions, including ATP production, intracellular Ca regulation, reactive oxygen species generation and clearance, and the regulation of apoptosis.
