Mechanism of rat osteosarcoma cell apoptosis induced by a combination of low-intensity ultrasound and 5-aminolevulinic acid in vitro

Y. N. Li, Zhou, Q., Yang, B., Hu, Z., Wang, J. H., Li, Q. S., and Cao, W. W., Mechanism of rat osteosarcoma cell apoptosis induced by a combination of low-intensity ultrasound and 5-aminolevulinic acid in vitro, vol. 14, pp. 9604-9613, 2015.

We investigated the killing effect of low-intensity ultrasound combined with 5-aminolevulinic acid (5-ALA) on the rat osteosarcoma cell line UMR-106. Logarithmic-phase UMR-106 cells were divided into a control group, ultrasound group and 5-ALA group. The cell apoptotic rate, production of reactive oxygen species, and the change in mitochondrial membrane potential were analyzed by flow cytometry; ultrastructural changes were observed by transmission electron microscopy.

Effects of exogenous 5-aminolevulinic acid on photosynthesis, stomatal conductance, transpiration rate, and PIP gene expression of tomato seedlings subject to salinity stress

The effects of exogenous 5-aminolevulinic acid (ALA) on photosynthesis, plant growth, and the expression of two aquaporin genes in tomato seedlings under control and salinity conditions were investigated. Exogenous ALA application significantly improved net photosynthetic rate (Pn), total chlorophyll content, and plant biomass accumulation of tomato seedlings under salinity stress.
