Development and characterization of 15 microsatellite markers for Cephalotaxus fortunei (Cephalotaxaceae).

Project description:To survey population variation and the adaptive evolution of Cephalotaxus fortunei (Cephalotaxaceae), an endemic and endangered conifer in China, microsatellite markers were developed and characterized for this species. Based on the Fast Isolation by AFLP of Sequences COntaining repeats (FIASCO) protocol, 15 microsatellite markers were developed for C. fortunei, 13 of which were polymorphic within a sample of 75 individuals representing five natural populations. The number of alleles per locus ranged from one to seven. The expected and observed heterozygosities were 0.108-0.738 and 0.000-1.000, respectively. Ten polymorphic loci were also successfully amplified in C. oliveri. These polymorphic loci provide a valuable tool for population genetic analysis of C. fortunei, which will contribute to its management and conservation.

The complete chloroplast genome of Cephalotaxus lanceolata (Taxaceae), a plant species with extremely small populations.

Project description:Cephalotaxus lanceolata K. M. Feng ex C. Y. Cheng W. C. Cheng and L. K. Fu (Taxaceae) is a threatened plant species and a typical plant species with extremely small populations (PSESP) with only four individuals found in Gaoligong Mountain. With the aim of providing data for future conservation efforts, we sequenced the whole chloroplast (cp) genome of C. lanceolata. The results showed that the plastid genome is 136,404 bp in size. In total, 116 unique genes were annotated, including 83 protein-coding genes, 29 tRNA genes, and 4 rRNA genes. The total GC content was 35.1%. We performed phylogenetic analyses based on 12 cp genomes of Taxaceae, and we determined that the genus Cephalotaxus forms a sister group to Taxus and Pseudotaxus.

Ester alkaloids from Cephalotaxus interfere with the 2'3'-cGAMP-induced type I interferon pathway in vitro.

Project description:Dysregulated activation of the cyclic GMP-AMP synthase-stimulator of interferon genes (cGAS-STING) pathway by self-DNA contributes to interferonopathy and promotes autoimmune diseases. To identify potential suppressors of STING-induced type I interferon (IFN) induction, ethanol extracts of medicinal plants were screened for inhibitory activity against IFN-ß promoter activation. Notably, 70% ethanol extract of Cephalotaxus koreana specifically down-regulated STING-induced, but not TBK1- or IRF3-induced, IFN-ß promoter activity. The compounds exerting inhibitory activity specifically against STING-mediated IFN-ß promoter activation were identified as ester alkaloids isolated from the genus, Cephalotaxus, homoharringtonine and harringtonine. Furthermore, these two compounds inhibited 2'3'-cGAMP-induced IFN-stimulated gene expression and interaction between STING and TBK1. These suppressive effects were not observed with cephalotaxine devoid of the ester side-chain. Our data support the potential utility of homoharringtonine and harringtonine to treat STING-associated interferonopathy and autoimmune diseases.

Antifungal Activity of New Diterpenoid Alkaloids Isolated by Different Chromatographic Methods from Delphinium peregrinum L. var. eriocarpum Boiss.

Project description:This paper aimed to investigate the potential antifungal influences of new alkaloids from Delphinium peregrinum L. var. eriocarpum Boiss. New Diterpenoid alkaloids Delcarpum (1), Hydrodavisine (4) and known alkaloids Peregrine (2), Delphitisine (3) were isolated by different chromatographic methods from the aerial parts of D. Peregrinum eriocarpum Boiss, which grows in Syria. The structures of alkaloids were proposed based on 1D NMR spectroscopy 1H-NMR, 13C-NMR, DEPT-135, DEPT-90, 2D NMR spectroscopy DQF-COSY, HMQC, EI-Ms mass spectrum, and IR spectroscopic measurements. The antifungal activity of the isolated alkaloids was evaluated against different dermatophyte fungal isolates compared with fluconazole. In the case of Peregrine (2) the minimum inhibitory concentrations(MICs) recorded 128-256, 32-64, and 32 for Epidermophyton floccosum, Microsporum canis, and Trichophyton rubrum, respectively, compared to 32-64, 16, and 32 μg/mL in the case of fluconazole, respectively. The MICs recorded on application of the four alkaloids mixture were 64, 32, and 16 in the case of E. floccosum, M. canis, and T. rubrum, respectively, which were significantly lower than that measured for each of the individual alkaloid and were compatible for fluconazole. In conclusion, MICs of the tested alkaloids showed a variable potential effect on the investigated fungal isolates. Peregrine (2) was the most effective alkaloid, however, the application of the mixture of alkaloids induced significant synergistic activity that was more pronounced than the application of individual ones.
