高温和啶虫脒处理西花蓟马对其F1 代生命表参数的联合作用

【目的】西花蓟马 Frankliniella occidentalis (Pergande) (缨翅目: 蓟马科）是一种危险的入侵害虫,其生长发育受温度影响显著。我们的前期研究表明,高温热激对西花蓟马的杀灭效果并不理想,但高温热激可以改变西花蓟马的药剂敏感性。为了探究高温热激后再进行杀虫剂减量处理能否提高高温对西花蓟马的防治效果,本实验测定了45℃高温热激 2 h后恢复不同时间（8 h 和24 h）啶虫脒对西花蓟马F₁代生命表参数的影响,从控制种群发展的角度探究高温和啶虫脒防治西花蓟马最佳结合方式。【方法】应用特定年龄 龄期及两性生命表的方法,研究45℃高温热激和啶虫脒处理西花蓟马后其F₁代种群的生命表参数。【结果】45℃热激2 h后恢复不同时间用啶虫脒处理西花蓟马亲代,其F₁代卵、1龄幼虫和蛹的平均发育历期均显著长于对照（仅45℃热激2 h）的西花蓟马F₁代（P<0.01）;而且其F₁代雌成虫的寿命和产卵量均显著少于对照（P<0.01）。热激恢复8 h后啶虫脒处理西花蓟马亲代,其F₁代发育历期和雌成虫的寿命虽然与热激恢复24 h的F₁代不存在显著性差异,但是其F₁代的平均产卵前期（adult pre-oviposition period, APOP）和平均总产卵前期（total pre-oviposition period, TPOP）显著长于恢复24 h的F₁代（P<0.01）,单雌平均产卵量显著小于恢复24 h的F₁代（P<0.01）。【结论】相比单一高温防治,高温和杀虫剂综合使用对西花蓟马有更好的防控效果。相比热激后恢复24 h,热激后恢复8 h再进行杀虫剂处理对西花蓟马有更好的防控效果。     

氟啶虫酰胺对异色瓢虫幼虫捕食棉蚜成虫能力的影响

紫外辐射诱导植物叶片DNA损伤敏感性差异

单细胞凝胶电泳（彗星检测,cometassay）技术已广泛应用于动物细胞DNA损伤检测,但在植物细胞DNA损伤检测中的应用尚不多见。本研究通过对动物细胞彗星检测方法的改进,利用植物细胞原生质体作为材料,研究了不同发育期九里香（Murraya panicuata）叶片对UV-B诱导的DNA损伤的敏感性差异。彗星检测结果表明,九里香叶片DNA的损伤程度与UV-B辐射的剂量呈正相关：在相同UV—B辐射剂量下,九里香幼嫩叶片比成熟叶片的DNA损伤量大,表明其幼嫩叶片对UV-B辐射的敏感性比成熟叶片高。     

Statistical Analysis of the Comet Assay Using a Mixture of Gamma Distributions

Tail moments in the single cell gel electrophoresis (comet) assay usually do not follow a normal distribution, making the statistical analysis complicated. Researchers have used a wide variety of statistical techniques in an attempt to overcome this problem. In many cases, the tail moments follow a bimodal distribution that can be modeled with a mixture of gamma distributions. This bimodality may be due to cells being in two different stages of the cell cycle at the time of treatment. Maximum likelihood, modified to accommodate censored data, can be used to estimate the five parameters of the gamma mixture distribution for each slide. A weighted analysis of variance on the parameter estimates for the gamma mixtures can be performed to determine differences in DNA damage between treatments. These methods were applied to an experiment on the effect of thymidine kinase in DNA damage and repair. Analysis based on the mixture of gamma distributions was found to be more statistically valid, more powerful, and more informative than analysis based on log-transformed tail moments.     

DNA damage and nitric oxide synthesis in experimentally infected Balb/c mice with Trypanosoma cruzi

This study aimed to evaluate whether experimental Chagas disease in acute phase under benznidazole therapy can cause DNA damage in peripheral blood, liver, heart, and spleen cells or induce nitric oxide synthesis in spleen cells. Twenty Balb/c mice were distributed into four groups: control (non-infected animals); Trypanosoma cruzi infected; T. cruzi infected and submitted to benznidazole therapy; and only treated with benznidazole. The results obtained with the single cell gel (comet) assay showed that T. cruzi was able induce DNA damage in heart cells of both benznidazole treated or untreated infected mice. Similarly, T. cruzi infected animals showed an increase of DNA lesions in spleen cells. Regarding nitric oxide synthesis, statistically significant differences (p<0.05) were observed in all experimental groups compared to negative control, the strongest effect observed in the T. cruzi infected group. Taken together, these results indicate that T. cruzi may increase the level of DNA damage in mice heart and spleen cells. Probably, nitric oxide plays an important role in DNA damaging whereas benznidazole was able to minimize induced T. cruzi genotoxic effects in spleen cells.     

Trimetazidine protects low-density lipoproteins from oxidation and cultured cells exposed to H2O2 from DNA damage

Trimetazidine is a well-established anti-ischemic drug, which has been used for long time in the treatment of pathological conditions related with the generation of reactive oxygen species. However, although extensively studied, its molecular mode of action remains largely unknown. In the present study, the ability of trimetazidine to protect low-density lipoproteins (LDL) from oxidation and cultured cells from H₂O₂-induced DNA damage was investigated. Trimetazidine, tested at concentrations 0.02 to 2.20 mM, was shown to offer significant protection to LDL exposed to three different oxidizing systems, namely copper, Fe/ascorbate, and met-myoglobin/H₂O₂. The oxidizability of LDL was estimated by measuring, (i) the lag period, (ii) the maximal rate of conjugated diene formation, (iii) the total amount of conjugated dienes formed, (iv) the electrophoretic migration of LDL protein in agarose gels (REM), and (v) the inactivation of the enzyme PAF-acetylhydrolase present in LDL. In addition, the presence of trimetazidine decreased considerably the DNA damage in H₂O₂-exposed Jurkat cells in culture. H₂O₂ was continuously generated by the action of glucose oxidase at a rate of 11.8 ± 1.5 μM per min (60 ng enzyme per 100 μl), and DNA damage was assessed by the single cell gel electrophoresis assay (also called comet assay). The protection offered by trimetazidine in this system (about 30% at best) was transient, indicating modification of this agent during its action. These results indicate that trimetazidine can modulate the action of oxidizing agents in different systems. Although its mode of action is not clarified, the possibility that it acts as a lipid barrier permeable transition metal chelator is considered.     

Assessment of DNA damage in sperm after repeated non‐invasive sampling in zebrafish Danio rerio

Repeated non‐invasive sampling of zebrafish Danio rerio sperm was conducted, sperm counts were obtained and a method for measurement of DNA damage in sperm was developed and validated (single‐cell gel electrophoresis, comet, assay). DNA damage in sperm increased with concentration of hydrogen peroxide (H₂O₂, 0–200 µM), and in vitro exposure of sperm to 200 µM H₂O₂ produced 88·7 ± 3·9% tail DNA compared to unexposed controls [12 ± 0·7% tail DNA (mean ± s.e ., n = 3)]. Frequency of sperm sampling (sampled every 2, 4 or 7 days) did not affect DNA damage in sperm, but sperm counts decreased 57 and 22% for fish sampled every 2 or 4 days, respectively.     

Protection by tropolones against H2O2-induced DNA damage and apoptosis in cultured Jurkat cells

Tropolones, the naturally occurring compounds responsible for the durability of heartwood of several cupressaceous trees, have been shown to possess both metal chelating and antioxidant properties. However, little is known about the ability of tropolone and its derivatives to protect cultured cells from oxidative stress-mediated damage. In this study, the effect of tropolones on hydrogen peroxide-induced DNA damage and apoptosis was investigated in cultured Jurkat cells. Tropolone, added to the cells 15 min before the addition of glucose oxidase, provided a dose dependent protection against hydrogen peroxide induced DNA damage. The IC₅₀ value observed was about 15 μM for tropolone. Similar dose dependent protection was also observed with three other tropolone derivatives such as trimethylcolchicinic acid, purpurogallin and β-thujaplicin (the IC₅₀ values were 34, 70 and 74 μM, respectively), but not with colchicine and tetramethyl purpurogallin ester. Hydrogen peroxide-induced apoptosis was also inhibited by tropolone. However, in the absence of exogenous H₂O₂ but in the presence of non-toxic concentrations of exogenous iron (100 μM Fe³⁺), tropolone dramatically increased the formation of single strand breaks at molar ratios of tropolone to iron lower than 3 to 1, while, when the ratio increased over 3, no toxicity was observed. In conclusion, the results presented in this study indicate that the protection offered by tropolone against hydrogen peroxide-induced DNA damage and apoptosis was due to formation of a redox-inactive iron complex, while its enhancement of iron-mediated DNA damage at ratios of [tropolone]/[Fe³⁺] lower than 3, was due to formation of a lipophilic iron complex which facilitates iron transport through cell membrane in a redox-active form.
