The PHD transcription factor Cti6 is involved in the fungal colonization and aflatoxin B1 biological synthesis of Aspergillus flavus by Zhang Mengjuan, Lin Guanglan, Pan Xiaohua, Song Weitao, Tan Can, Chen Xuan, Yang Yanling, Zhuang Zhenhong

“…Bioinformatics analysis showed Cti6 is conservative in Aspergillus spp., and mCherry mediated subcellular localization showed that most Cti6 accumulated in the nuclei, which reflected that Cti6 performed its important biological function in the nuclei in Aspergillus spp.. The results of the current study elucidate the roles of PHD domain containing proteins in the mechanism of the infection of crops by A. flavus, and provided a novel target for effectively controlling the contamination of Aspergillus spp. to crops.…”

Hepatoprotective and antioxidant effects of Glycyrrhiza glabra extracts against TCDD-induced hepatocyte damage in Jian carp (Cyprinus carpio var. Jian) by Du Jinliang, Cao Liping, Jia Rui, Liu Yingjuan, Shen Yujin, Yin Guojun

“…Jian).Jian carp were fed with diet containing 3 doses of GGE (0.1, 0.5 and 1.0 g/kg diet) for 60 days before a single intraperitoneal injection of TCDD (0.6 μg/kg), 72 h after TCDD injection, blood and liver samples were taken for biochemical analysis.The results showed that GGE at 1.0 g/kg diet for 60 days prior to TCDD intoxication significantly reduced the elevated activities of ALT, AST, LDH, AKP and increased the reduced levels of total protein (TP), albumin (Alb) in the serum, markedly inhibited the reduction of the activities of superoxide dismutase (SOD), glutathione peroxidase (GPx), catalase (CAT), total antioxidant capacity (T-AOC), and reduced the malondialdehyde (MDA) formation in liver tissue. …”
