대두(Glycine max) 뿌리혹의 질소고정 공생균주 Bradyhizobium sp. SNU001 의 nod D 와 nodA 의 염기서열을 결정하였다. 총 314개의 아미노산을 암호화하는 nod D 의 open reading frame (ORF) 은 942bp 로 B. japonicum USDA110 의 nodD1 과 99.4% 의 유사성을 보여주었으며, 총 210개의 아미노산을 암호화하고 콩과식물의 Bradyrhizobium 에서는 처음으로 염기서열이 결정된 nodA 의 ORF 는 630bp 로 B. sp. (Parasponia) 의 nodA 와 81.5% 의 유사성을 보여주었다. nodYAB 오페론과 nodD 상류에서는 9bp의 반복서열을 각각 4번, 2번 가지는 보존적인 nodbox 가 발견되었으며 nodD 의 상류에서는 A, T-rich 서열도 존재하였다.

Background: Hypothermia is a crucial environmental factor that elevates the risk of cardiovascular disease, but the underlying effect is unclear. Objectives: This study examined the role of cold stress (CS) in cardiac injury and its underlying mechanisms. Methods: In this study, a chronic CS-induced myocardial injury model was used; mice were subjected to chronic CS (4℃) for three hours per day for three weeks. Results: CS could result in myocardial injury by inducing the levels of heat shock proteins 70 (HSP70), enhancing the generation of creatine phosphokinase-isoenzyme (CKMB) and malondialdehyde (MDA), increasing the contents of tumor necrosis factor-α (TNF-α), high mobility group box 1 (HMGB1) interleukin1b (IL-1β), IL-18, IL-6, and triggering the depletion of superoxide dismutase (SOD), catalase (CAT), and glutathione (GSH). Multiple signaling pathways were activated by cold exposure, including pyroptosis-associated NOD-like receptor 3 (NLRP3)-regulated caspase-1-dependent/Gasdermin D (GSDMD), inflammation-related toll-like receptor 4 (TLR4)/myeloid differentiation factor 88 (MyD88)-mediated nuclear factor kappa B (NF-κB), and mitogen-activated protein kinase (MAPK), as well as oxidative stressinvolved thioredoxin-1/thioredoxin-interacting protein (Txnip) signaling pathways, which play a pivotal role in myocardial injury resulting from hypothermia. Conclusions: These findings provide new insights into the increased risk of cardiovascular disease at extremely low temperatures.
