Disease relevance of Datura stramonium

  • Jimson weed seed meal, which contains alkaloids toxic to animals, and cocoa shell meal, which contains theobromine, also toxic to animals, were used in two experiments with broilers to determine relative toxicity [1].
  • No congenital arthrogryposis or other deformities were found in newborn Hampshire pigs born to sows administered Datura stramonium (jimsonweed) during the second or third months of pregnancy at levels producing marked clinical signs of toxicity in the dams [2].
 

High impact information on Datura stramonium

  • The D2-dopamine receptor from bovine anterior pituitary has been purified approximately 33,000-fold to apparent homogeneity by sequential use of affinity chromatography on immobilized carboxymethyleneoximinospiperone-Sepharose, Datura stramonium lectin-agarose, and hydroxylapatite chromatography [3].
  • Older anticholinergic agents such as stramonium and atropine have significant non-pulmonary effects [4].
  • We demonstrate that overexpression of the D. stramonium samdc cDNA in transgenic rice is sufficient for accumulation of spermidine in leaves and spermidine and spermine in seeds [5].
  • Here we use antibodies against glutamine synthetase full-length molecule (anti-GS/FL), a GS C-terminal peptide (anti-GS/20aa-C), and brain S100 (anti-S100), as well as the binding of the insect glia and rat astrocytic marker Datura stramonium lectin (DSL), in the optic lobe of the prawn Macrobrachium rosenbergii [6].
  • Serum transferrin and the partially purified serum CDT were investigated by concanavalin A (Con A)- and Datura stramonium agglutinin (DSA)-affinity electrophoresis followed by antibody-affinity blotting and sodium dodecyl sulfate-polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis (SDS-PAGE) with Western blotting [7].

Gene context of Datura stramonium

  • Western- and lectin-blotting of the shed coat material demonstrated 2 prominent entities; a 90 kDa glycoprotein, which bound Datura stramonium agglutinin and was resistant to N- and O-glycanase treatment and a 47-60 kDa set of protein(s) [15].
  • While each glycoprotein fraction was bound to Datura stramonium lectin, they failed to react with anti-[i-(Den)] serum and their digestion with endo-beta-galactosidase did not cause a band shift in SDS/PAGE [16].
  • Datura stramonium agglutinin-reactive alpha-fetoprotein isoforms in hepatocellular carcinoma and other tumors [17].
  • To investigate critically whether constitutive overexpression of ODC is sufficient to control steady-state polyamine levels, we expressed an ODC cDNA from Datura stramonium in transgenic tobacco plants [18].
  • GnT-V activity increased to approximately two- to three-fold the initial level with increasing mRNA level after 8 days, and lectin blot analysis showed an increase in reactivity to Datsura stramonium (DSA) of the immunoprecipitated neural cell adhesion molecule (NCAM) [19].
