In this study, exposure experiments were conducted to assess the effects of polystyrene nanoparticles (PS) and amine-modified polystyrene nanoparticles (APS) at environmental concentrations (1, 10, and 100 µg L??1) on two fungal species (Geotrichum candidum and Aspergillus niger), isolated from leaf litter in streams, concerning their growth and metabolic activity. Results showed that PS at 1 and 10 µg L??1 have hormesis effects on G. candidum growth. Compared with G. candidum, A. niger had higher sensitivity to nanoplastic exposure. Besides, the peroxidase and cellobiohydrolase activities of A. niger were significantly inhibited by nanoplastics (except 1 µg L??1 PS), which would weaken its metabolic activity in carbon cycling. These results provided a new thought on how the growth and functions of aquatic fungi cope with the stress induced by nanoplastics. Overall, the study provided evidence for the different responses of aquatic fungi to nanoplastics in streams.
Aim To study
the effect of nitric oxide (NO) on LoVo cells after hyperthermia combined with MMC and
their mechanisms. Methods The levels of NO were determined in cell culture medium of LoVo
cells by Cu-Cd reduction method.Results The levels of NO in control (45.9±16.12) μmol/L
group were lower than those in chemohyperthermy(92.3±24.30) μmol/L and hyperthermia
(67.67±15.48)μmol/L group (P<0.01,P<0.05 respectively). Levels of NO in
chemohyperthermy and hyperthermia groups were higher than those in chemotherapy(47.03±16.32)μmol/L(P<0.01,P<0.05
respcevtively). The levels of NO in chemo-hyperthermy group were higher than those in
hyperthermia group(P<0.05), and those in chemotherapy group higher than in control
group but without statistical significance.Conclusion Chemohyperthermy and hyperthermia
could remarkably enhance the levels of NO produced by LoVo cells. NO levels could also be
enhanced by chemotherapy. It could be concluded that Nitric Oxide Synthase (NOS) in tumor
cells might be activated by hyperthermia, chemohyperthermy and chemotherapy, and increased
NO level which induced cytotoxic reaction. This may be one of the mechanisms of treatment
with chemohyperthermy. 相似文献
