RESUMEN
Hybrid production using lines with cytoplasmic male sterility (CMS) has become an important way to utilize heterosis in vegetables. Ogura CMS, with the advantages of complete pollen abortion, ease of transfer and a progeny sterility rate reaching 100%, is widely used in cruciferous crop breeding. The mapping, cloning, mechanism and application of Ogura CMS and fertility restorer genes in Brassica napus, Brassica rapa, Brassica oleracea and other cruciferous crops are reviewed herein, and the existing problems and future research directions in the application of Ogura CMS are discussed.

Temozolomide (TMZ) resistance is the main challenge in the management of glioma patients. Heparanase can mediate the secretion and function of exosomes, which are considered to be a promising molecular delivery system for cancer therapy. Therefore, this study aimed to investigate whether heparanase-mediated delivery of exosomes was related to TMZ resistance of glioma. Heparanase was upregulated in TMZ-resistant glioma cells, and overexpression of heparanase led to increased resistance of U87 cells to TMZ. Knockdown of heparanase led to increased sensitivity of TMZ-resistant U251 cells (U251R) cells to TMZ. Heparanase promoted the secretion of exosomes from glioma cells, and coculture with exosomes derived from heparanase knockdown U251R cells partly restored the sensitivity of U251 cells to TMZ compared with exosomes derived from si-control transfected U251R cells. It was identified by circular RNA microarrays that hsa_circ_0042003 was upregulated in exosomes derived from U251R, which could be positively regulated by heparanase. U251R cell-derived exosomal hsa_circ_0042003 conferred the resistance of U251 cells to TMZ. In vivo studies also showed that U251R cell-derived exosomes induced resistance of U251 cells to TMZ, and the combination of tail-injected exosomal si-heparanase or exosomal si-hsa_circ_0042003 and intraperitoneal TMZ applied to nude mice abolished TMZ resistance. Heparanase mediated the transfer of exosomal hsa_circ_0042003 from TMZ-resistant glioma cells to drug-sensitive cells, which contributed to the chemoresistance of glioma to TMZ.

BACKGROUND: Glioma is a common tumor that occurs in the brain and spinal cord. Hypoxia is a crucial feature of the tumor microenvironment. Tumor-associated macrophages/microglia play a crucial role in the advancement of glioma. This study aims to illuminate the detailed mechanisms by which hypoxia regulates microglia and, consequently, influences the progression of glioma. METHODS: The glioma cell viability and proliferation were analyzed by cell counting kit-8 assay and 5-ethynyl-2'-deoxyuridine assay. Wound healing assay and transwell assay were implemented to detect glioma cell migration and invasion, respectively. Enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay was conducted to detect protein levels in cell culture medium. The protein levels in glioma cells and tumor tissues were evaluated using western blot analysis. The histological morphology of tumor tissue was determined by hematoxylin-eosin staining. The protein expression in tumor tissues was determined using immunohistochemistry. Human glioma xenograft in nude mice was employed to test the influence of hypoxic microglia-derived interleukin-1beta (IL-1ß) and heparanase (HPSE) on glioma growth in vivo. RESULTS: Hypoxic HMC3 cells promoted proliferation, migration, and invasion abilities of U251 and U87 cells by secreting IL-1ß, which was upregulated by hypoxia-induced activation of hypoxia inducible factor-1alpha (HIF-1α). Besides, IL-1ß from HMC3 cells promoted glioma progression and caused activation of nuclear factor-κB (NF-κB) and upregulation of HPSE in vivo. We also confirmed that IL-1ß facilitated HPSE expression in U251 and U87 cells by activating NF-κB. Hypoxic HMC3 cells-secreted IL-1ß facilitated the proliferation, migration, and invasion of U251 and U87 cells via NF-κB-mediated upregulation of HPSE expression. Finally, we revealed that silencing HPSE curbed the proliferation and metastasis of glioma in mice. CONCLUSION: Hypoxia-induced activation of HIF-1α/IL-1ß axis in microglia promoted glioma progression via NF-κB-mediated upregulation of HPSE expression.

To observe the effects of cervical-lymphatic blockade (CLB) on brain edema and infarction volume of ischemic (MCAO) rat, we examined changes in cerebral water content, Ca2+ and glutamate concentrations, cerebral infarction volume and mRNA expression levels of N-methyl-D-aspartame receptor 1 (NMDA receptor 1) in the ischemic (left) hemisphere. The present results demonstrated that all the above indices in rats with middle cerebral artery occlusion plus cervical lymphatic blockade (MCAO+CLB) were markedly higher than those with only middle cerebral artery occlusion (MCAO) at different time points. These results indicated [corrected] that CLB can aggravate cerebral ischemia by increasing brain edema and infarction volume.
