Molecular characterization of fire ants, Solenopsis spp., from Brazil based on analysis of mtDNA gene cytochrome oxidase I

Species from the Solenopsis saevissima (Smith) (Hymenoptera: Formicidae) species group are native to South America and have a cosmopolitan distribution because they have been accidentally introduced in many countries around the world. In Brazil, they have a wide distribution, including urban areas. The present study was conducted to investigate the characterization of Solenopsis genus populations associated with urban/human interference sites in Brazil by analyzing the mitochondrial gene cytochrome oxidase I and estimating the degree of relatedness of these populations to make inferences about their phylogeny and also observe the patterns of mitochondrial haplotype (mitotype) distribution across their range. The results revealed complete geographical coherence and polyphyly for the Solenopsis invicta Buren and Solenopsis saevissima species groups, which confirms the diversity of the genera. It also suggests the possibility that reproductively-isolated populations occur, resulting in the evolutionary process of speciation. No predominant haplotype was found in the populations analyzed, but some were more prevalent.

Síntese e estudo da diapocinina como um inibidor da NADPH Oxidase em neutrófilos e células mononucleares de sangue periférico

Apocynin, a methoxy-catechol originally extracted from the root of Picrorhiza kurroa, has been used as an inhibitor of the NADPH oxidase complex in phagocytic and nonphagocytic cells. Its mechanism of inhibition is linked to their prior activation through the action of peroxidases leading to oxidation of the dimeric product, diapocynin. In this study, dipocinina was synthesized and investigated its effect as an inhibitor of activation NADPH oxidase in neutrophils (PMN) and peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMC). The synthesis of diapocinina was performed by oxidation of apocinina by potassium persulphate in the midst of water for 5 minutes at room temperature. The precipitate was filtered and washed with water and methanol. Diapocinina was characterized by mass spectrometry. PMN and PBMC were obtained from peripheral blood of healthy donors and purified for gelatin sedimentation, or centrifugation with Histopaque ®, the red cells were lysed with ice water or ammonium chloride. Diapocinina or apocinina were incubated with opsonized zymosan, activation of PMNs and release of superoxide anion, these monitored by chemiluminescent assay dependent lucigenina. We found that diapocinina inhibitor was no better than the apocinina in PMN. However, diapocinina was more efficient than apocinina as an inhibitor of NADPH oxidase in PBMC. In conclusion, whereas PBMC are relatively poor compared with peroxidases PMN, our results are consistent with the need for oxidation apocinina for its effect as an inhibitor of NADPH oxidase
