茉莉酸甲酯对中国红豆杉胚性细胞紫杉醇生物合成的影响

紫杉醇(taxol)是一种复杂的二萜类生物碱,最初是从红豆杉类(Taxus)植物的树皮中分离出来的。紫杉醇作为具有广谱抗肿瘤活性的药物而得到广泛的临床应用,成为当今世界上有效的抗癌药物之一,但其天然资源十分稀少,解决其药源问题就显得非常重要。目前,普遍认为采用红豆杉细胞悬浮培养生产紫杉醇是很有希望的途径之一。而提高红豆杉细胞生长速率以及细胞中紫杉醇的含量是实现细胞悬浮培养生产紫杉醇的两个关键因素,笔者研究了茉莉酸甲酯(methyl-jasmonate,简称MJ)在红豆杉细胞培养中的代谢调节作用。茉莉酸甲酯是茉莉属(Jasminum)中的素馨花…

内生真菌紫杉醇生物合成的研究现状与展望

紫杉醇是重要的抗癌药物之一,已经证明其对多种癌症具有显著疗效。目前,人们主要是从红豆杉的树皮中提取、分离和纯化紫杉醇,但由于红豆杉为生长缓慢、散生、濒危的珍稀植物,且随着紫杉醇临床用途的不断拓宽,市场需求的稳定增长,单纯依靠从红豆杉树皮中提取紫杉醇已经无法满足日益增长的市场需求。为了解决紫杉醇的药源不足,科学家已把目光从红豆杉树分离提取紫杉醇转向了其他替代方法,如化学全合成、半合成、组织培养与细胞培养、微生物发酵法生产紫杉醇等。因此,了解内生真菌紫杉醇生物合成的分子基础和遗传调控机制,对解析内生真菌紫杉醇生物合成机制、构建高产紫杉醇基因工程菌株和早日实现内生真菌紫杉醇工业化生产具有重要的科学意义和现实意义。结合本课题组多年来的科研工作,概述了红豆杉细胞紫杉醇生物合成途径、内生真菌发酵生产紫杉醇的优势、产紫杉醇内生菌的分离研究现状和生物多样性及紫杉醇生物合成相关基因的研究现状。内生真菌生物发酵合成紫杉醇是可以无限生产、大量获取紫杉醇、解决紫杉醇药源短缺问题的很有前景的方法之一。

研究了南主红豆杉(Taxuschinensisvar.maireiChengetFu)细胞双液相培养中前体饲喂和混合糖源作为生产培养基糖源对细胞生长和紫杉醇合成的影响。结果表明,前体饲喂(苯丙氨酸、苯甲酰胺和醋酸钠)或混合糖(麦芽糖和蔗糖)作为生产培养基糖源对南方红豆杉细胞单液相培养、更重要的是对其双液相培养的紫杉醇产量提高有显著促进作用,而且前体饲喂和混合糖源的协同作用对其双液相培养的紫杉醇产量提高有进一步的促进作用。与对照组(蔗糖作为糖源和无前体的单液相培养)相比,在南方红豆杉细胞双液相培养中,第10天加入前体,第11天加入混合糖源,紫杉醇产量提高4倍多

几种真菌诱导子对云南红豆杉细胞产生紫杉醇的影响

自１９９３年以来,紫杉醇（Ｔａｘｏｌ）已成为临床上治疗乳腺癌和卵巢癌的重要药物。由于其药源植物—红豆杉属植物（ＴａｘｕｓＬ．）生长非常缓慢,体内紫杉醇含量很低,且资源有限,所以人们一直在寻找解决紫杉醇药源短缺的方法。用红豆杉属植物组织培养技术生产紫杉醇被认为是一种有潜力的方法之一,受到人们的高度重视。虽然有关这方面的报道较多［１］,但该研究仍处在试验阶段,还未见用此方法商业化生产紫杉醇的报道。其重要原因是目前红豆杉属植物离体细胞的紫杉醇产量还比较低,而且不稳。人们仍在继续寻找提高紫杉醇产量的方法…     

Curcuminoids as inhibitors of thioredoxin reductase: A receptor based pharmacophore study with distance mapping of the active site

Curcumin is the yellow pigment of turmeric that interacts irreversibly forming an adduct with thioredoxin reductase (TrxR), an enzyme responsible for redox control of cell and defence against oxidative stress. Docking at both the active sites of TrxR was performed to compare the potency of three naturally occurring curcuminoids, namely curcumin, demethoxy curcumin and bis-demethoxy curcumin. Results show that active sites of TrxR occur at the junction of E and F chains. Volume and area of both cavities is predicted. It has been concluded by distance mapping of the most active conformations that Se atom of catalytic residue SeCYS498, is at a distance of 3.56 from C13 of demethoxy curcumin at the E chain active site, whereas C13 carbon atom forms adduct with Se atom of SeCys 498. We report that at least one methoxy group in curcuminoids is necessary for interation with catalytic residues of thioredoxin. Pharmacophore of both active sites of the TrxR receptor for curcumin and demethoxy curcumin molecules has been drawn and proposed for design and synthesis of most probable potent antiproliferative synthetic drugs.

Comparative morphology of the carpel in the Liliaceae: Hewardieae, Petrosavieae, and Tricyrteae

The young pistils in the melanthioid tribes, Hewardieae, Petrosavieae and Tricyrteae, are uniformly tricarpellate and syncarpous. They lack raphide idioblasts. All are multiovulate, with bitegmic ovules. The Petrosavieae are marked by the presence of septal glands and incomplete syncarpy. Tepals and stamens adhere to the ovary in the Hewardieae and the Petrosavieae but not in the Tricyrteae. Two vascular bundles occur in the stamens of the Hewartlieae and Tricyrtis latifolia. Ventral bundles in the upper part of the ovary of the Hewardieae are continuous with compound septal bundles and placental bundles in the lower part. Putative ventral bundles occur in the alternate position in the Tricyrteae and putative placental bundles in the opposite. position in the Petrosavieae. The dichtomously branched stigma in each carpel of the Tricyrteae is supplied by a bifurcated dorsal bundle.     

Entwicklungsgeschichte und Ultrastruktur von Pollenkitt und Exine bei nahe verwandten entomophilen und anemophilen Angiospermensippen derAlismataceae,Liliaceae, Juncaceae,Cyperaceae, Poaceae undAraceae

Some closely related members of the monocotyledonous familiesAlismataceae, Liliaceae, Juncaceae, Cyperaceae, Poaceae andAraceae with variable modes of pollination (insect- and wind-pollination) were studied in relation to the ultrastructure of pollenkitt and exine (amount, consistency and distribution of pollenkitt on the surface of pollen grains). The character syndromes of pollen cementing in entomophilous, anemophilous and intermediate (ambophilous or amphiphilous) monocotyledons are the same in principal as in dicotyledons. Comparing present with former results one can summarize: 1) The pollenkitt is always produced in the same manner by the anther tapetum in all angiosperm sub-classes. 2) The variable stickiness of entomophilous and anemophilous pollen always depends on the particular distribution and consistency of the pollenkitt, but not its amount on the pollen surface. 3) The mostly dry and powdery pollen of anemophilous plants always contains a variable amount of inactive pollenkitt in its exine cavities. 4) A step-by step change of the pollen cementing syndrome can be observed from entomophily towards anemophily. 5) From the omnipresence of pollenkitt in all wind-pollinated angiosperms studied one can conclude that the ancestors of anemophilous angiosperms probably have been zoophilous (i.e. entomophilous) throughout.
