Splicing and expression dynamics of SR genes in hot pepper (Capsicum annuum): regulatory diversity and conservation under stress by Lin Li, Yueqin Zhang, Rui Zhang, Rui Zhang, Xiangtao Cen, Yongxiang Huang, Yongxiang Huang, Hanqiao Hu, Hanqiao Hu, Xingyu Jiang, Xingyu Jiang, Yu Ling, Yu Ling

“…Promoter regions of SR proteins are enriched with elements relating to light response, stress, hormone signaling, and plant growth. Notably, transcription levels of several proteins, including CaSR33, CaSR34, and CaSR34a, were upregulated by salt, drought, and cold stresses, suggesting potential roles of these proteins in stress tolerance. …”

Quercetin attenuates cisplatin-induced fatigue through mechanisms associated with the regulation of the HPA axis and MCP-1 signaling by Cheng-Hung Chuang, Yu-An Tai, Ting-Jing Wu, Ying-Jui Ho, Shu-Lan Yeh, Shu-Lan Yeh

“…The main objective of the present study was to investigate whether quercetin regulates the hypothalamic-pituitary-adrenal (HPA) axis and chemoattractant protein-1 (MCP-1) signaling, two factors contributing to CRF in mice exposed to cisplatin.MethodsMale BALB/c mice were randomly assigned to the following five groups for 15 weeks: Control, CDDP, CDDP+TAK779 (an antagonist of MCP-1 receptor, human CC chemokine receptor R2 (CCR2)), CDDP+OQ (a diet containing 1% quercetin) and CDDP+IQ (quercetin given by ip, 10 mg/kg, 3 times/week).ResultsThe results first showed that OQ and IQ significantly increased grip strength and locomotor activity, decreased plasma cortisol/corticosterone levels, and decreased the corticotropin releasing hormone (CRH) mRNA level in the brain tissues in mice exposed to CDDP. …”
