迷迭香酸对硫酸铜致斑马鱼胚胎毒性的抑制作用

本文探讨硫酸铜(CuSO_4)对斑马鱼(Danio rerio)胚胎发育的毒性效应,使用迷迭香酸(RA)抑制CuSO_4对斑马鱼胚胎发育的毒性并探讨其作用机制。收集受精后1 h(1 hpf)的斑马鱼胚胎暴露于不同浓度的CuSO_4溶液,或含有不同浓度迷迭香酸的CuSO_4溶液,对照组培养在E3培养液中,观察胚胎死亡、孵化及畸形情况,计算胚胎死亡率、孵化率和畸形率;以活性氧(ROS)荧光探针DCFH-DA染色法检测迷迭香酸保护下胚胎的活性氧水平。对实验数据进行方差分析。结果显示:(1)CuSO_4浓度超过一定量时能诱导斑马鱼胚胎死亡和畸形,胚胎孵化率也降低。CuSO_4对96 hpf斑马鱼胚胎的半致死浓度(LC50)为7.7μmol/L,半致畸浓度(EC50)为1.9μmol/L。(2)在96 hpf,迷迭香酸与8μmol/L CuSO_4共同处理组斑马鱼胚胎的死亡率明显降低,孵化率升高。迷迭香酸与1.6μmol/LCuSO_4共同处理组斑马鱼胚胎的畸形率降低。(3)CuSO_4单独处理组的活性氧含量明显高于迷迭香酸与CuSO_4共同处理组和对照组。结果表明,CuSO_4暴露对斑马鱼胚胎发育的毒性效应可能与活性氧升高导致的氧化应激相关;迷迭香酸抑制CuSO_4对斑马鱼胚胎发育的毒性作用,可能与减少活性氧生成有关。     

诺氟沙星对斑马鱼胚胎发育的毒性作用及对TGF-β1的影响

旨在通过观察不同浓度诺氟沙星对斑马鱼胚胎不同发育时期的毒性作用,以及对TGF-β1基因表达的影响。配制诺氟沙星浓度为0、10、20、40μmol/L,将斑马鱼胚胎暴露在上述浓度的诺氟沙星中。观察在胚胎不同发育时期,诺氟沙星对斑马鱼脊柱弯曲、心包囊肿、卵黄囊肿和死亡率的影响,以及使用实时定量聚合酶链式反应(q PCR)检测其对TGF-β1基因表达的影响。结果显示,诺氟沙星对斑马鱼的胚胎发育有明显影响,主要表现在脊柱弯曲、心包囊肿和卵黄囊肿,随着诺氟沙星暴露浓度的增大,胚胎的发育延迟,孵化时间延长,胚胎死亡率增加;当诺氟沙星暴露浓度为40μmol/L时,96 hpf的胚胎死亡率达到76.45%;与正常状态相比,暴露于不同浓度诺氟沙星的斑马鱼胚胎中TGF-β1基因的m RNA表达随发育时间延长而增加趋势减缓。说明诺氟沙星对斑马鱼胚胎发育的致畸作用与致死作用有显著的影响。提示水体中残留的诺氟沙星对鱼类的生殖与发育具有潜在的危害。     

视黄酸缺乏对斑马鱼心脏房室分化的影响

目的 通过化学遗传学方法建立视黄酸缺乏的斑马鱼模型,探讨视黄酸缺乏对斑马鱼胚胎心脏前后轴发育即房室分化的影响.方法 在斑马鱼胚胎孵育的5 hpf,用不同浓度梯度的视黄醛脱氢酶2抑制剂DEAB(1×10-6、5×10-6、10×10-6、25×10-6 mol/L)处理斑马鱼胚胎,实时观察斑马鱼胚胎发育的全过程.通过给予斑马鱼胚胎外源性视黄酸,观察其对DEAB的拮抗作用.应用胚胎整体原位杂交观察视黄酸缺乏对心脏特异基因vmhc和amhc表达的影响.结果 斑马鱼胚胎的生存率随着DEAB处理浓度的增加而降低,当DEAB浓度≥5×10-6 mol/L时,斑马鱼的畸胎率达100%.5×10-6 mol/L DEAB的致畸作用能够被1×10-9mol/L外源性视黄酸所拮抗.整体原位杂交结果显示视黄酸缺乏会导致斑马鱼胚胎心脏房室分化异常,表现为vmhc表达细胞的范围增大,amhc表达细胞的范围缩小.结论 通过外源性DEAB处理能有效地建立视黄酸缺乏的斑马鱼模型,DEAB影响胚胎发育存在剂量依赖性.视黄酸在斑马鱼心脏前后轴发育过程中起重要调控作用,心脏发育早期视黄酸缺乏会抑制心房的发育而支持心室的发育,出现房室分化异常.     

富马酸二甲酯对斑马鱼胚胎早期发育的影响

为研究富马酸二甲酯对斑马鱼(Danio rerio)胚胎早期发育的影响,选取不同发育阶段的斑马鱼胚胎,用富马酸二甲酯进行染毒处理,观察胚胎形态发育的异常,计算其对不同发育时期胚胎的24 h、48 h半数致死浓度(LC50)和胚胎72 h孵化率,并考察富马酸二甲酯对胚胎血管发育的影响。结果表明,富马酸二甲酯影响斑马鱼胚胎的早期发育,呈剂量依赖性特点,并与开始处理的时间点有关。富马酸二甲酯引起2 hpf(受精后2 h,2 hours post-fertilization)、10 hpf、24 hpf斑马鱼胚胎死亡的24 h LC50值分别为:13.33μmol/L、17.98μmol/L、32.50μmol/L,48 h LC50值分别为:13.31μmol/L、16.35μmol/L、22.50μmol/L;长期低浓度富马酸二甲酯(≥6μmol/L)作用引起胚胎72 h孵化率下降。27.5μmol/L富马酸二甲酯作用后会显著降低胚胎血管内皮生长因子受体2(VEGFR2)的表达水平。

该文研究了microRNA-10(miR-10)家族miR-10a/b在斑马鱼胚胎发育时期神经管的表达及其对神经元发育的影响。通过斑马鱼胚胎整体原位杂交及Taq Man PCR技术分析研究miR-10a/b在斑马鱼胚胎期神经管的表达情况。利用吗啡啉(morpholino,Mo)修饰的反义寡核苷酸敲低技术建立miR-10a/b下调的斑马鱼模型,研究miR-10a/b下调后神经元发育异常的表型,并分析鉴定miR-10调控神经元发育的下游靶点。结果发现,受精后24 h(24 hours post fertilization,24 hpf)和48 hpf,miR-10a和miR-10b在斑马鱼神经管中高表达;miR-10a/b-Mo下调miR-10a/b的表达后,背神经管中神经元数量明显变少;下调Mib1(mindbomb E3 ubiquitin protein ligase 1)能挽救miR-10下调引起的神经元表型异常;miR-10a/b下调后胚胎神经管中Mib1表达显著上调。上述结果表明,miR-10a/b通过抑制Mib1的表达来影响斑马鱼神经元的发育。     

五氯酚对斑马鱼胚胎的毒性效应研究

采用斑马鱼胚胎发育技术,对环境激素类物质五氯酚的毒性进行测定,结果表明,五氯酚(PCP)对胚胎的特定作用时间段是卵产出至发育6 h之内;PCP对胚胎发育有明显的抑制作用,会造成胚胎发育的畸形或死亡,不同时间染毒产生的可观察毒理学终点各异;随着PCP对发育48 h斑马鱼胚胎作用时间的减短,其致死效应敏感性降低,其中0 hpf组的LC0值最小,为70.8μg·L^-1,24hpf组LC0值最大,为831.8μg·L^-1;斑马鱼胚胎对孵化后0时染毒的PCP最为敏感,PCP对胚胎产生急性毒性效应的敏感指标:心胞囊肿、血液循环障碍、无心律＞孵化率降低＞停滞发育作用;斑马鱼胚胎最敏感的指标为48 h血液循环障碍和48 h半致死效应.     

外源性视黄酸对斑马鱼心血管系统发育的影响

目的观察不同浓度外源性视黄酸对斑马鱼早期胚胎和心血管系统发育的影响,为进一步研究视黄酸影响斑马鱼心脏前后轴(A-P轴)发育的分子机制提供形态学依据。方法选择斑马鱼胚胎孵育的3,6,9·5,12h四个时间点,用不同浓度视黄酸(1×10-6,1×10-7,4×10-8,1×10-8mol/L)处理斑马鱼胚胎,在解剖显微镜下实时观察斑马鱼胚胎心脏发育的全过程和视黄酸对斑马鱼心脏发育的影响。并采用胚胎整体原位杂交技术观察flk-1mRNA在斑马鱼胚胎的表达。结果1×10-6mol/L视黄酸可导致斑马鱼胚胎表现出多系统的严重畸形,胚胎很快死亡。在胚胎孵育的9·5、12h给与10-7~10-8mol/L浓度的视黄酸,胚胎只表现出心血管系统的畸形,其他系统无明显异常。胚胎整体原位杂交显示视黄酸对flk-1mRNA在斑马鱼胚胎血管的表达没有影响。结论视黄酸影响斑马鱼胚胎心脏发育有剂量依赖性和严格的时间窗,视黄酸影响心脏前后轴发育的关键时间是原肠胚晚期。视黄酸处理组胚胎的循环缺陷主要为心脏发育异常所致。10-7~10-8mol/L浓度视黄酸在9·5、12h处理斑马鱼胚胎可以作为研究心脏发育调控机制的动物模型。     

PFOS对斑马鱼胚胎及仔鱼的生态毒理效应

全氟辛烷磺酸（Perfluorooctane sulfonate, PFOS）是一种广泛存在于水生生态系统的新型持久性有机污染物（Persistent Organic Pollutants, POPs）,其对鱼类健康的影响以及水生生态系统安全的潜在威胁是当前人们高度关注的水环境问题。为探究PFOS对斑马鱼（Danio rerio）胚胎及仔鱼的生态毒理效应,本文研究了不同浓度（0,0.1,1,10 mg/L）PFOS暴露对斑马鱼胚胎孵化率、仔鱼畸形率与死亡率、仔鱼心率、仔鱼运动行为以及生长的影响。结果表明：PFOS暴露对斑马鱼胚胎孵化率、孵出仔鱼死亡率与畸形率的影响显著（P﹤0.05）,10 mg/L PFOS暴露导致胚胎孵化率下降,孵化延迟,仔鱼死亡率与畸形率升高;PFOS暴露4 dpf（day post-fertilization,dpf）或8 dpf 对斑马鱼仔鱼心率影响显著（P﹤0.05）,心率随PFOS暴露浓度升高而增加;PFOS 暴露6 dpf 或9 dpf 对斑马鱼仔鱼的运动行为影响显著（P﹤0.05）,10 mg/L PFOS暴露6 dpf 导致运动斑马鱼仔鱼比例和仔鱼最大持续运动距离增加（P﹤0.05）,PFOS暴露9 dpf,单位时间内仔鱼的运动距离、停顿频率、平均每次运动距离随PFOS暴露浓度升高而减少（P﹤0.05）,最大持续运动距离随PFOS暴露浓度升高而增加（P﹤0.05）,呈剂量依赖的毒理学效应;PFOS暴露导致斑马鱼仔鱼体长和吻宽下降（P﹤0.05）或有下降的趋势,并对吻宽/体长、吻宽/头长影响显著（P﹤0.05）。以上研究结果提示：PFOS对斑马鱼胚胎及仔鱼具有显著的发育与行为毒性,仔鱼心率、运动行为、吻宽/体长以及吻宽/头长等是评估水体PFOS污染敏感而有效的生物标志物。     

TBX1, a DiGeorge syndrome candidate gene, is inhibited by retinoic acid

Both retinoic acid (RA) and Tbx1 are definitively indispensable for the development of the pharyngeal arches. The defects produced by a loss of Tbx1 highly resemble those induced by hyper- and hypo-RA. Based on these similarities, the effects of RA on Tbx1 expression pattern were explored during pharyngeal arch development in zebrafish. Whole-mount in situ hybridization and real-time quantitative PCR were used. Zebrafish embryos were treated with 5 x 10(-8)mol/L and 10(-7)mol/L RA at 12.5 hours post fertilization for 1.5 hours, respectively. Whole-mount in situ hybridization showed that Tbx1 was expressed in the cardiac region, pharyngeal arch and otic vesicle between 24 hpf and 72 hpf in zebrafish. Tbx1 expression was obviously reduced, even lost, in the pharyngeal arch and outflow tract in RA treated groups. Real-time quantitative PCR analysis showed that Tbx1 expression rose to a peak level at 36 hpf in wild type group. Repression of Tbx1 expression was most evident at 36 hpf, 24 hours after RA treatment. 10(-7 )mol/L RA caused a more severe effect on the Tbx1 expression level than 5 x 10(-8)mol/L RA.The results suggested that RA could produce an altered Tbx1 expression pattern in zebrafish. In addition, RA could repress Tbx1 expression in a dose-dependent manner.     

Teratogenicity of Ni2+ inXenopus laevis,assayed by the FETAX procedure

The teratogenicity of Ni2+ was tested by the FETAX (Frog Embryo Teratogenesis Assay: Xenopus) procedure in the South African frog, Xenopus laevis. In seven assays, beginning at 5 h postfertilization, groups of Xenopus embryos were incubated for 96 h in media that contained Ni2+ (added as NiCl2) at concentrations ranging from 1 x 10(-7) to 3 x 10(-3) mol/L; control groups were incubated in the same medium without added NiCl2. At 101 h postfertilization, surviving embryos were counted, fixed in formalin, and examined by microscopy to determine their developmental stages, malformations, and head-to-tail lengths. In control embryos, survival was greater than or equal to 95% and malformations were less than or equal to 7%. Malformations were found in greater than 95% of embryos exposed to Ni2+ concentrations greater than or equal to 5.6 mumol/L. The most frequent malformations in Ni(2+)-exposed embryos were ocular, skeletal, and intestinal deformities; less common malformations included facial, cardiac, and integumentary deformities. Other abnormalities, not categorized as malformations, included stunted growth, dermal hypopigmentation, and coelomic effusions or hemorrhages. The median embryolethal concentration (LC50) of Ni2+ was 365 (SE +/- 9) mumol/L; the median teratogenic concentration (EC50) was 2.5 (SE +/- 0.1) mumol/L; the Teratogenic Index (TI = LC50/EC50) was 147 (SE +/- 5), indicating that Ni2+ is a potent teratogen for Xenopus laevis. Experiments in which Ni(2+)-exposures were limited to specific 24 h periods showed that Xenopus embryos were most susceptible to Ni(2+)-induced malformations on the second and third days of life, during the most active period of organogenesis.     

Modulation by ellagic acid of DCA-induced developmental toxicity in the zebrafish (Danio rerio)

The ability of ellagic acid (EA) to modulate dichloroacetic acid (DCA)-induced developmental toxicity and oxidative damage was examined in zebrafish embryos. Embryos were exposed to 20 mM EA administered concomitantly with 32 mM DCA at 4 hours postfertilization (hpf) and 20 h later. Embryos were observed through 144 hpf for developmental malformations, and production of superoxide anion (SA) and nitric oxide (NO) was determined in embryonic homogenates. DCA was shown to produce developmental abnormalities and significant levels of SA and NO in zebrafish embryos. EA exposure alleviated the developmental malformations observed in treated embryos and decreased the levels of SA and NO in those same embryos. Less than 10% of DCA + EA exposed embryos showed developmental malformations compared to 100% of embryos treated with DCA alone. Animals in this group that developed malformations were shown to have fewer defects than those treated with DCA only. Taken together, the results confirm the involvement of oxidative stress in the developmental toxicity of DCA in zebrafish embryos, and suggest possible protection against those effects with the use of antioxidants.     

Dichloroacetate-induced developmental toxicity and production of reactive oxygen species in zebrafish embryos

Dichloroacetate (DCA) is one of the toxic by products that are formed during the chlorine disinfection process of drinking water. In this study, the developmental toxicity of DCA has been determined in zebrafish (Danio rerio) embryos. Embryos were exposed to different concentrations (4, 8, 16, and 32 mM) of the compound at the 4 h postfertilization (hpf) stage of development, and were observed for different developmental toxic effects at 8, 24, 32, 55, 80, and 144 hpf. Exposure of embryos to 8-32 mM of DCA resulted in significant increases in the heart rate and blood flow of the 55 and 80 hpf embryos that turned into significant decreases at the 144 hpf time point. At 144 hpf, malformations of mouth structure, notochord bending, yolk sac edema and behavioral effects including perturbed swimming and feeding behaviors were also observed. DCA was also found to produce time- and concentration-dependent increases in embryonic levels of superoxide anion (O2*-) and nitric oxide (NO), at various stages of development. The results of the study suggest that DCA-induced developmental toxic effects in zebrafish embryos are associated with production of reactive oxygen species in those embryos.     

调节因子IGFⅡ、TNFα、VRF促细胞增殖与β微管蛋白表达的相关性

细胞增殖必伴有染色体的一分为二及细胞质的增生,β微管蛋白则参与细胞的增殖过程．正性和负性调节因子对β微管蛋白的表达及细胞增殖间的相关性研究显示,不同生理剂量的正性调节因子ＩＧＦⅡ、Ｔ３／Ｔ４处理ＵＭＲ１０６细胞１２ｈ,Ｎｏｒｔｈｅｒｎｂｌｏｔ实验发现它们在促进细胞ＤＮＡ合成的同时,可使β微管蛋白ｍＲＮＡ表达增加,呈剂量依赖关系．而负性调节因子ＴＮＦα则相反地在抑制细胞ＤＮＡ合成的同时,使β微管蛋白ｍＲＮＡ表达降低,也呈剂量依赖关系．Ｗｅｓｔｅｒｎｂｌｏｔ实验进一步表明,ＩＧＦⅡ可使β微管蛋白表达增加,而ＴＮＦα使β微管蛋白表达降低．由此可见,β微管蛋白的合成与细胞增殖间存在着一定的相互联系．     

A clonal analysis of spinal cord development in the zebrafish

 We describe the results of a clonal analysis of spinal cord development in the zebrafish. The data were obtained from embryos in which fluorescent lineage tracer was injected into single cells in the neural plate at the two-somite stage. Injected animals were allowed to survive until either 4 days or 2 weeks postfertilization. In other experiments, bromodeoxy uridine (BrdU) was injected intraperitoneally at 30 h postfertilization (hpf) after lineage tracer injection in the neural plate at the two-somite stage, and the embryos fixed at 38 hpf. We restricted our experiments to the thoracic region of the spinal cord. Our experiments were aimed at answering questions regarding the proliferative abilities of neuroepithelial cells during embryonic development (as deduced from the size of the clones), the modes of cell division (as deduced from the uptake of BrdU into clone cells), positional differences in the proliferation of cells within the neural plate itself, the cellular composition of the clones, and cell dispersion (deduced from the regional distribution of clone cells).

补骨脂素对肝星状细胞(HSC-T6)增殖、氧化应激及Ⅰ型胶原分泌的影响

通过研究植物雌激素香豆素补骨脂素对体外培养的大鼠肝星状细胞HSC-T6增殖及相关因子表达的影响,为补骨脂素治疗肝纤维化提供实验依据。常规培养肝星状细胞HSC-T6,采用0.1 mmol/L的H2O2制造HSC-T6氧化应激的模型。分别用MTT法检测肝星状细胞增殖、放射免疫法检测细胞上清液中超氧化物歧化酶(SOD),丙二醛(MDA),还原性谷胱甘肽(GSH),谷胱甘肽过氧化物酶(GSH-Px)的活性和含量,ELISA法测定Ⅰ型胶原的分泌。结果表明:与正常对照组组比较,补骨脂素在浓度为10μmol/L,1μmol/L,0.1μmol/L,均呈现出抑制HSC-T6增殖的作用(P<0.05),且最佳作用时间为48 h(P<0.05);与模型组比较,补骨脂素各个浓度组能够提高SOD和GSH-Px的活性(P<0.05),并降低细胞上清液中MDA和GSH的含量(P<0.05);与模型组比较,补骨脂素各个浓度组在作用48 h后,细胞上清液中的Ⅰ型胶原的表达量均降低(P<0.05)。因此,作为植物雌激素的一种,补骨脂素能有效的抑制HSC-T6的增殖及抗HSC-T6氧化应激,很可能成为雌激素的替代品在治疗肝纤维化中。
