磷酸化钙/钙调蛋白依赖性蛋白激酶Ⅱ在大鼠脊髓背角C-纤维诱发电位长时程增强的诱导和维持中的作用

实验旨在探讨钙/钙调蛋白依赖性蛋白激酶II(calcium／calmodulin-dependent protein kinase Ⅱ,CaMKⅡ)在脊髓背角C-纤维诱发电位长时程增强(long—term potentiation,LTP)的诱导和维持中的作用。用Western blot技术分别检测LTP形成30min和3h脊髓背角(L4-L6)CaMKⅡ的含量及其磷酸化水平。同时观察脊髓局部给予CAMKⅡ选择性抑制剂KN-93后对脊髓背角LTP和CaMKII磷酸化的影响。观察结果如下：(1)诱导LTP后30min,CaMK Ⅱ的磷酸化水平明显高于对照组,而CaMKⅡ的总量无变化;诱导LTP后3h CaMKⅡ的磷酸化水平进一步升高。而且CaMKⅡ的总量也明显增加(n=4);(2)强直刺激前30min于脊髓局部给予CaMKⅡ的特异性抑制剂KN-93(100μmol/L),可阻断LTP的诱导,同时明显抑制CaMKⅡ的磷酸化水平;(3)诱导LTP后30min给予KN-93,可显著抑制LTP的维持,同时CaMKⅡ的磷酸化水平与未用药组相比也明显降低（n=3);(4)LTP3h后给予KN-93,LTP的幅值不受影响,磷酸化的CaMKⅡ的含量与用药前相比也无差别（n=3)。根据上述实验结果可以认为,CaMKⅡ的激活参与脊髓背角C-纤维诱发电位LTP的诱导和早期维持过程。

松蚜的腹管功能及其在排泄氮废物中的作用

松蚜Cinara pinea Mordviko是马尾松、黑松等松属Pinus树种1—5年生枝干上的重要害虫。松蚜腹部有一对呈碟状的腹管。成虫和若蚜的腹管常有橙红色液体排出(附图),约1—2分钟后即凝固,并能粘附在腹管的端末30—60分钟,有的甚至达数小时。成虫腹管排出物直径0.4—0.5毫米左右,千粒重为42—45毫克。当蚜体受到某种刺激后,腹管也能排出上述物质。 蚜虫的腹管是昆虫身体上一种很特殊的构造。在昆虫分类上可以根据腹管的有无把蚜虫和其他昆虫区别开来;其形状和大小也很不一致,所以在形态学和分类学上都有重要意义。

Identification of Glyceraldehyde-3-phosphate dehydrogenase (GAPDH) as a binding protein for a 68-kDa <Emphasis Type="Italic">Bacillus thuringiensis</Emphasis> parasporal protein cytotoxic against leukaemic cells

Background  

Bacillus thuringiensis (Bt), an ubiquitous gram-positive spore-forming bacterium forms parasporal proteins during the stationary phase of its growth. Recent findings of selective human cancer cell-killing activity in non-insecticidal Bt isolates resulted in a new category of Bt parasporal protein called parasporin. However, little is known about the receptor molecules that bind parasporins and the mechanism of anti-cancer activity. A Malaysian Bt isolate, designated Bt18 produces parasporal protein that exhibit preferential cytotoxic activity for human leukaemic T cells (CEM-SS) but is non-cytotoxic to normal T cells or other cancer cell lines such as human cervical cancer (HeLa), human breast cancer (MCF-7) and colon cancer (HT-29) suggesting properties similar to parasporin. In this study we aim to identify the binding protein for Bt18 in human leukaemic T cells.

转Bt基因保铃棉对棉田杂草群落组成与多样性的影响

 应用群落生态学方法研究了转Bt基因抗虫保铃棉(Gossypium hirsutum)‘972’、‘109B’、‘690’与‘154’种植后对江苏沿海的大丰旱作棉区与沿江的如皋水旱轮作棉区棉田杂草的影响风险。同地同期测定结果显示：不同保铃棉品系棉田杂草物种丰富度(S)、个体数量(N)、群落多样性(H′)、均匀度(J)与优势集中性(C)值在对照品种（‘泗棉3号’与‘苏棉16’）棉田上下波动,优势种及其多度基本接近。两地五期的综合分析结果显示各保铃棉品系杂草群落多样性、均匀度都略高于对照棉,而优势集中性都略低于对照棉。不同抗性保铃棉品系棉田杂草群落特征参数组分对群落多样性的直接间接作用与对照品种棉田的趋势基本一致。同一生态类型棉区的保铃棉高抗、中抗品系与对照品种棉田杂草的种相似性系数与群落相似性系数都较高。上述结果表明,转基因抗虫保铃棉品系棉田的杂草群落稳定性并不比对照品种的差,因保铃棉品系本身产生新的恶性杂草风险的可能性并不明显。     

Evolution of resistance to transgenic crops: interactions between insect movement and field distribution

The refuge strategy is designed to delay evolution of pest resistance to transgenic crops producing Bacillus thuringiensis Berliner (Bt) toxins. Movement of insects between Bt crops and refuges of non-Bt crops is essential for the refuge strategy because it increases chances that resistant adults mate with susceptible adults from refuges. Conclusions about optimal levels of movement for delaying resistance are not consistent among previous modeling studies. To clarify the effects of movement on resistance evolution, we analyzed simulations of a spatially explicit model based partly on the interaction of pink bollworm, Pectinophora gossypiella (Saunders), with Bt cotton. We examined resistance evolution as a function of insect movement under 12 sets of assumptions about the relative abundance of Bt cotton (50 and 75%), temporal distribution of Bt cotton and refuge fields (fixed, partial rotation, and full rotation), and spatial distribution of fields (random and uniform). The results show that interactions among the relative abundance and distribution of refuges and Bt cotton fields can alter the effects of movement on resistance evolution. The results also suggest that differences in conclusions among previous studies can be explained by differences in assumptions about the relative abundance and distribution of refuges and Bt crop fields. With fixed field locations and all Bt cotton fields adjacent to at least one refuge, resistance evolved slowest with low movement. However, low movement and fixed field locations favored rapid resistance evolution when some Bt crop fields were isolated from refuges. When refuges and Bt cotton fields were rotated to the opposite crop type each year, resistance evolved fastest with low movement. Nonrecessive inheritance of resistance caused rapid resistanceevolution regardless of movement rate. Confirming previous reports, results described here show that resistance can be delayed effectively by fixing field locations and distributing refuges uniformly to ensure that Bt crop fields are not isolated from refuges. However, rotating fields provided better insect control and reduced the need for insecticide sprays.     

Effects of dibutyryl adenosine 3':5'-cyclic monophosphate and other agents on induction of alkaline phosphatase activity in monkey kidney cells

The induction of alkaline phosphatase (ALP) by dibutyryl adenosine 3':5'-cyclic monophosphate (Bt2cAMP) was investigated in strain JTC-12 . P3 cells derived from monkey (Maccaca irus) kidney cortex. ALP activity was increased by Bt2cAMP in a dose-dependent manner, reaching a plateau at concentrations higher than 5 mM with the activity being about 4 times that of the controls. The concentration of Bt2cAMP required for half-maximal induction of ALP activity was about 0.8 mM. ALP activity was increased rapidly by Bt2cAMP for the first 5 days and then continued to increase gradually towards a plateau level. Removal of Bt2cAMP from the medium caused a rapid decrease in the activity, suggesting that the induction of ALP activity by Bt2cAMP is reversible. ALP activity was induced synergistically in the presence of 1 mM sodium butyrate together with Bt2cAMP at concentrations from 0.01 to 1 mM. It was also found that in the presence of 1 mM Bt2cAMP, sodium butyrate increased ALP activity in the same manner as Bt2cAMP did in the presence of 1 mM sodium butyrate. Although dexamethasone, a potent glucocorticoid, had no effect on ALP activity in control cells, the hormone suppressed the ALP activity induced by Bt2cAMP in a dose-dependent manner. At concentrations above 0.2 mM, two xanthine derivatives, theophylline and 3-isobutyl-1-methyl-xanthine (IBMX), also inhibited the induction of ALP activity by 1 mM Bt2cAMP. Inhibitors of protein synthesis, cycloheximide (1.5 micrograms/ml) and pactamycin (10 micrograms/ml), as well as inhibitors of RNA synthesis, actinomycin D (2 micrograms/ml) and alpha-amanitin (50 micrograms/ml), suppressed the induction of ALP activity.     

粘虫颗粒体病毒对苏云金杆菌的增效特性及对Bt毒蛋白的降解活化作用

以小菜蛾Plutella xylostella为试虫,采用生物测定方法测定了粘虫颗粒体病毒（Pseudaletia unipuncta granulosis virus,PuGV-Ps）对苏云金杆菌（Bacillus thuringiensis,Bt）的增效作用。结果表明：不同配伍PuGV-Ps和Bt间的共毒系数在105.3至195.0之间, PuGV-Ps对Bt毒力具有增强作用,其中以Bt∶PuGV-Ps为4∶1增效作用最明显,72 h LC₅₀为0.039 mg/mL。不同温度和pH值都影响PuGV-Ps对Bt的增效作用,16℃～20℃增效程度明显高于24℃～32℃,而碱性条件下（pH 8～9）增效作用更显著。PuGV-Ps对Bt的增效作用因小菜蛾龄期不同而变化,2、3龄幼虫死亡率较单独使用Bt分别提高了50%和30.31%,而作用于低龄（1龄）和高龄（4龄）幼虫时对Bt的增效作用不显著。PuGV-Ps饲喂2 h后再接毒Bt,小菜蛾死亡率明显提高,48 h死亡率达66.67％,较直接饲喂Bt+PuGV-Ps处理死亡率提高了53.87％,差异极显著。SDS-PAGE表明PuGV-Ps具有碱性蛋白酶的活性,离体条件下能促进δ-内毒素酶解为47 kD,60 kD和61 kD的毒性肽。     

Bt crop effects on functional guilds of non-target arthropods: a meta-analysis

Background

Uncertainty persists over the environmental effects of genetically-engineered crops that produce the insecticidal Cry proteins of Bacillus thuringiensis (Bt). We performed meta-analyses on a modified public database to synthesize current knowledge about the effects of Bt cotton, maize and potato on the abundance and interactions of arthropod non-target functional guilds.

Methodology/Principal Findings

We compared the abundance of predators, parasitoids, omnivores, detritivores and herbivores under scenarios in which neither, only the non-Bt crops, or both Bt and non-Bt crops received insecticide treatments. Predators were less abundant in Bt cotton compared to unsprayed non-Bt controls. As expected, fewer specialist parasitoids of the target pest occurred in Bt maize fields compared to unsprayed non-Bt controls, but no significant reduction was detected for other parasitoids. Numbers of predators and herbivores were higher in Bt crops compared to sprayed non-Bt controls, and type of insecticide influenced the magnitude of the difference. Omnivores and detritivores were more abundant in insecticide-treated controls and for the latter guild this was associated with reductions of their predators in sprayed non-Bt maize. No differences in abundance were found when both Bt and non-Bt crops were sprayed. Predator-to-prey ratios were unchanged by either Bt crops or the use of insecticides; ratios were higher in Bt maize relative to the sprayed non-Bt control.

Conclusions/Significance

Overall, we find no uniform effects of Bt cotton, maize and potato on the functional guilds of non-target arthropods. Use of and type of insecticides influenced the magnitude and direction of effects; insecticde effects were much larger than those of Bt crops. These meta-analyses underscore the importance of using controls not only to isolate the effects of a Bt crop per se but also to reflect the replacement of existing agricultural practices. Results will provide researchers with information to design more robust experiments and will inform the decisions of diverse stakeholders regarding the safety of transgenic insecticidal crops.
