RESUMEN
Ten new drimane meroterpenoids talarines A-J (1-10), along with six known analogues (11-16), were isolated from desert soil-derived fungus Talaromyces pinophilus LD-7. Their 2D structures were elucidated by comprehensive interpretation of NMR and HRESIMS data. Electronic circular dichroism calculation was used to establish their absolute configurations. Compounds 2, 10, and 11 showed antiviral activities toward vesicular stomatitis virus with IC50 values of 18, 15, and 23 nM, respectively. The structure-bioactivity relationship indicated that chlorine substitution at C-5 contributed greatly to their antiviral activities. Finally, we identified a new halogenase outside the biosynthetic gene cluster, which was responsible for C-5 halogenation of the precursor isocoumarin 17 as a tailoring step in chlorinated meroterpenoids assembly.

Diketopiperazine alkaloids have proven the most abundant heterocyclic alkaloids up to now, which usually process diverse scaffolds and rich biological activities. In our search for bioactive diketopiperazine alkaloids from marine-derived fungi, two novel diketopiperazine alkaloids, penipiperazine A (1) and its biogenetically related new metabolite (2), together with a known analogue neofipiperzine C (3), were obtained from the strain Penicillium brasilianum. Their planar structures and absolute configurations were elucidated by extensive spectroscopic analyses, 13C NMR calculation, Marfey's, ECD, and ORD methods. Compound 1 featured a unique 6/5/6/6/5 indole-pyrazino-pyrazino-pyrrolo system, and its plausible biogenetic pathway was also proposed. Additionally, compounds 1-3 have been tested for their inflammatory activities. 1 and 2 significantly inhibited the release of NO and the expression of related pro-inflammatory cytokines on LPS-stimulated RAW264.7 cells, suggesting they could be attracting candidate for further development as anti-inflammatory agent.

RESUMEN
Metformin is a kind of widely used antidiabetic drug that regulates glucose homeostasis by inhibiting liver glucose production and increasing muscle glucose uptake. Recently, some studies showed that metformin exhibits anticancer properties in a variety of cancers. Although several antitumor mechanisms have been proposed for metformin action, its mode of action in human liver cancer remains not elucidated. In our study, we investigated the underlying molecular mechanisms of metformin's antitumor effect on Huh-7 cells of hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) in vitro. RNA sequencing was performed to explore the effect of metformin on the transcriptome of Huh-7 cells. The results revealed that 4,518 genes (with log2 fold change > 1 or < -1, adjusted p-value < 0.05) were differentially expressed in Huh-7 cells with treatment of 25-mM metformin compared with 0-mM metformin, including 1,812 upregulated and 2,706 downregulated genes. Gene ontology and Kyoto Encyclopedia of Genes and Genomes pathway analyses identified 54 classical pathways that were significantly enriched, and 16 pathways are closely associated with cancer, such as cell cycle, DNA replication, extracellular matrix-receptor interaction, and so on. We selected 11 differentially expressed genes, which are closely associated with HCC, to validate their differential expressions through a quantitative real-time reverse transcription-polymerase chain reaction. The result exhibited that the genes of fatty acid synthase, mini-chromosome maintenance complex components 6 and 5, myristoylated alanine-rich C-kinase substrate, fatty acid desaturase 2, C-X-C motif chemokine ligand 1, bone morphogenetic protein 4, S-phase kinase-associated protein 2, kininogen 1, and proliferating cell nuclear antigen were downregulated, and Dual-specificity phosphatase-1 is significantly upregulated in Huh-7 cells with treatment of 25-mM metformin. These differentially expressed genes and pathways might play a crucial part in the antitumor effect of metformin and might be potential targets of metformin treating HCC. Further investigations are required to evaluate the metformin mechanisms of anticancer action in vivo.
RESUMEN
By feeding tryptophan to the marine-derived fungus Aspergillus sp. HNMF114 from the bivalve mollusk Sanguinolaria chinensis, 3 new quinazoline-containing indole alkaloids, named aspertoryadins H-J (1-3), along with 16 known ones (4-19), were obtained. The structures of the new compounds were elucidated by the analysis of spectroscopic data combined with quantum chemical calculations of nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) chemical shifts and electron capture detector (ECD) spectra. Structurally, compound 3 represents the first example of this type of compound, bearing an amide group at C-3. Compounds 10 and 16 showed potent α-glucosidase inhibitory activity with IC50 values of 7.18 and 5.29 µM, and compounds 13 and 14 showed a clear activation effect on the ryanodine receptor from Spodoptera frugiperda (sfRyR), which reduced the [Ca2+] ER by 37.1 and 36.2%, respectively.
RESUMEN
Studies have shown the difference appearing among the prognosis of patients in different age groups. However, the molecular mechanism implicated in this disparity have not been elaborated. In this study, expression profiles of female breast cancer (BRCA) associated mRNAs, lncRNAs and miRNAs were downloaded from the TCGA database. The sample were manually classified into three groups according to their age at initial pathological diagnosis: young (age ≤ 39 years), elderly (age ≥ 65 years), and intermediate (age 40-64 years). lncRNA-miRNA-mRNA competitive endogenous RNA (ceRNA) network was respectively constructed for different age BRCA. Then, the biological functions of differentially expressed mRNAs (DEmRNAs) in ceRNA network were further investigated by Gene Ontology (GO) and Kyoto Encyclopedia of Genes and Genomes (KEGG) pathway analysis. Finally, survival analysis was used to identify prognostic biomarkers for different age BRCA patients. We identified 13 RNAs, 38 RNAs and 40 RNAs specific to patients aged ≤ 39 years, aged 40-64 years, and aged ≥ 65 years, respectively. Furthermore, the unique pathways were mainly enriched in cytokine-cytokine receptor interaction in patients aged 40-64 years, and were mainly enriched in TGF-beta signaling pathway in patients aged ≥ 65 years. According to the survival analysis, AGAP11, has-mir-301b, and OSR1 were respectively functioned as prognostic biomarkers in young, intermediate, and elderly group. In summary, our study identified the differences in the ceRNA regulatory networks and provides an effective bioinformatics basis for further understanding of the pathogenesis and predicting outcomes for different age BRCA.
RESUMEN
The Bipolaris setariae NY1 strain, isolated from a diseased green foxtail plant in Henan Province, China, showed strong pathogenicity towards green foxtail. In order to clarify the role of phytotoxic substances in the fungal pathogenicity, bioassay-directed isolation and bioactivity assays of secondary metabolites produced by the fungal strain were carried out. Five ophiobolins were obtained: 3-anhydro-ophiobolin A, 6-epi-ophiobolin A, 6-epi-ophiobolin B, 3-anhydro-6-epi-ophiobolin B and ophiobolin I. Bioassays on punctured and intact detached leaves of green foxtail indicated that 3-anhydro-ophiobolin A was the most phytotoxic, followed by 6-epi-ophiobolin A. The other three ophiobolins appeared to be inactive against green foxtail. The effects of 3-anhydro-ophiobolin A and 6-epi-ophiobolin A were synergistic. The symptoms on green foxtail caused by 3-anhydro-ophiobolin A or its mixture with 6-epi-ophiobolin A resembled those caused by the fungus. 3-Anhydro-ophiobolin A and 6-epi-ophiobolin A are likely the main pathogenic determinants of B. setariae. 6-epi-Ophiobolin A caused cytotoxicity against five kinds of human cancer cells: human colon adenocarcinoma cells (HCT-8), human liver cancer cells (Bel-7402), human gastric cancer cells (BGC-823), human lung adenocarcinoma cells (A549), and human ovarian adenocarcinoma cells (A2780). The results provide information for the development of herbicides and antitumor potential of the ophiobolin sesterterpenes.

N6 -isopentenyladenosine (i6 A) is an RNA modification found in cytokinins, which regulate plant growth/differentiation, and a subset of tRNAs, where it improves the efficiency and accuracy of translation. The installation and removal of this modification is mediated by prenyltransferases and cytokinin oxidases, and a chemical approach to selective deprenylation of i6 A has not been developed. We show that a selected group of oxoammonium cations function as artificial deprenylases to promote highly selective deprenylation of i6 A in nucleosides, oligonucleotides, and live cells. Importantly, other epigenetic modifications, amino acid residues, and natural products were not affected. Moreover, a significant phenotype difference in the Arabidopsis thaliana shoot and root development was observed with incubation of the cation. These results establish these small organic molecules as direct chemical regulators/artificial deprenylases of i6 A.

BACKGROUND: In our previous study, we have isolated a new compound, named Fumosorinone (FU) from insect pathogenic fungi, and was found to inhibit proliferation, migration, and invasion of breast cancer MDA-MB-231 cells. OBJECTIVE: The aim of this study was to identify the underlying molecular mechanisms for FU effects on MDAMB- 231 cells. METHODS: After MDA-MB-231 cells were treated with FU for 48h, RNA sequencing was used to identify the effect of FU on the transcriptome of MDA-MB-231 cells. The validation of the relative expression of the selective genes was done using quantitative real-time PCR (qRT-PCR). RESULTS: The transcriptome results showed that 2733 genes were differentially expressed between the untreated and the FU-treated cells, including 1614 up-regulated and 1119 down-regulated genes. The multiple genes are associated with cancer cell growth, migration, and invasion. Functional analysis identified multitude of pathways related to cancer, such as cell cycle, ECM-receptor interaction, p53 signaling pathway. We selected 4 upregulated and 9 downregulated genes, which are associated with breast cancer to verify their expression using qRT-PCR. The validation showed that HSD3B1, ALOX5, AQP5, COL1A2, CCNB1, CCND1, VCAM-1, PTPN1 and PTPN11 were significantly downregulated while DUSP1, DUSP5, GADD45A, EGR1 were upregulated in FU-treated MDA-MB-231cells. CONCLUSION: These aberrantly expressed genes and pathways may play pivotal roles in the anti-cancer activity of FU, and maybe potential targets of FU treatments for TNBC. Further investigations are required to evaluate the FU mechanisms of anti-cancer action in vivo.
