多胺和赤霉素在莴苣种子萌发中的作用及其相互关系

非感光性莴苣（挂丝红品种）种子于２２℃下萌发率在８０％左右,而２８℃下不萌发。２２℃下外源亚精胺显著促进种子萌发,多胺生物合成抑制剂ＤＦＭＡ和ＤＣＨＡ明显抑制种子萌发,而ＤＦＭＯ无效。２２℃诱导种子萌发过程中内源腐胺和亚精含量显著高于２８℃下它们的含量。ＧＡ３处理能诱导２８℃下种子的萌发,单独外源亚精胺处理效果不大,而外源亚精胺对ＧＡ３诱导效应有促进作用。ＤＦ－ＭＡ和ＤＣＨＡ能抑制ＧＡ３诱导２８℃     

外源Spd预处理对甜瓜白粉病抗性及其内源多胺的诱导分析

以甜瓜感病品种‘0544’为试材,测定外源亚精胺(Spd)预处理和白粉病菌接种后甜瓜幼苗的光合参数、抗氧化酶活性、内源多胺含量及多胺合成与代谢相关基因表达等的变化,探讨外源Spd处理对甜瓜幼苗白粉病抗性的诱导作用机制。结果显示:(1)1.0mmol·L-1外源Spd处理可显著降低甜瓜幼苗的白粉病病情指数,缓解植株发病症状;(2)外源Spd处理可诱导甜瓜幼苗的多胺合成以及代谢相关基因(SAMDC、ADC、ODC、Spd、Spm、PAO)显著上调表达;(3)外源Spd处理可诱导甜瓜幼苗腐胺(Put)和Spd含量显著增加,而外源Spd并接种白粉病菌处理对甜瓜幼苗精胺(Spm)含量积累的诱导更加显著;(4)接种白粉病菌诱导了甜瓜幼苗的多酚氧化酶(PPO)、过氧化物酶(POD)和超氧化物歧化酶(SOD)的活性,外源Spd预处理后再接种白粉病的诱导作用更大,同时外源Spd处理还诱导了甜瓜幼苗过氧化氢(H_2O_2)含量的升高;(5)在观测期(120h)内,接种白粉病菌对甜瓜叶片的光合作用抑制较小,而外源Spd预处理并接种白粉病菌共同诱导了甜瓜幼苗的光合速率(Pn)、气孔导度(Gs)和蒸腾速率(Tr)的显著升高。研究认为,在外源Spd预处理甜瓜幼苗后再接种白粉病菌,甜瓜幼苗可以通过多胺的快速积累及代谢产生的H_2O_2来启动响应机制,进而通过增强防御酶活性等途径来提高对白粉病的抗性。     

NaCl胁迫下外源NO供体硝普钠(SNP)对小麦种子萌发的影响

150mmol.L-lNaCl胁迫下,'鲁麦15'小麦种子萌发率下降,而添加0.08mmol·L-1 SNP的种子萌发率显著增加.NaCl理与否的情况下添加0.08mmol·L-1 SNP对种子最终萌发率、种子含水量、胚中Na*和K 含量影响不显著,而胚的含水量显著增高.     

外源一氧化氮供体对几种植物种子的萌发和幼苗生长的影响

以0、0.1、0.3、0.5、0.7、0.9mmol·L-1共6种浓度的外源一氧化氮(NO)供体硝普钠(SNP)处理豌豆、黄瓜、玉米和刺槐种子及其砂培幼苗后的结果表明:0.1～0.3mmol·L-1SNP对种子发芽势、发芽率及幼苗的根长、叶绿素含量和生物量有明显的促进作用;随着SNP浓度的增加,种子萌发和幼苗生长明显受抑制,不同植物受抑制程度的差异明显.     

外源亚精胺对盐胁迫下毕氏海蓬子体内多胺含量的影响

用含不同浓度(0、100、200、300、400和500 mmol·L 1)NaCl的Hoagland营养液及叶面喷施0.1 mmol·L-1外源亚精胺(Spd)处理毕氏海蓬子幼苗,研究外源Spd对NaCl胁迫下海蓬子体内游离态、结合态和束缚态3种形态多胺含量的影响,分析内源多胺含量的变化与植物耐盐性的关系.结果表明:(1)随盐胁迫浓度的升高,海蓬子幼苗叶片中3种形态腐胺(Put)含量均先降后升;同期的游离态Spd含量持续上升,结合态和束缚态Spd含量均先升后降;同期的游离和结合态精胺(Spm)含量均先升后降,而其束缚态Spm含量呈上升趋势;游离态和束缚态多胺(PAs)总量变化随盐浓度升高均呈上升趋势,而结合态PAs总量先升后降.(2)3种形态(Spd+ Spm) /Put比值均先升后降,而3种形态Put/PAs比值则均呈先降后升的相反趋势.(3)外源Spd处理提高了海蓬子幼苗叶片中结合态和束缚态PAs总量,也提高了游离态和束缚态(Spd+Spm)/Put比值.研究发现,外源Spd参与了NaCl胁迫下海蓬子内源PAs代谢的调节,可能通过促进盐胁迫植株中Put向Spd和Spm的转化,以及游离态多胺向结合态和束缚态多胺的转化来增强海蓬子耐盐性.     

外源CO及NO对干旱胁迫下水稻糊粉层细胞死亡的影响

采用荧光显微技术结合药理学方法,以水稻(Oryza sativa L.)种子及其糊粉层为实验材料,研究外源CO、NO对干旱胁迫下水稻种子萌发过程中糊粉层细胞DNA降解及死亡的影响。结果表明:(1)干旱胁迫促进糊粉层细胞的死亡,且近胚端糊粉层细胞的死亡进程早于远胚端的细胞。(2)外源CO及NO供体处理能缓解干旱胁迫下水稻糊粉层细胞DNA的降解,延迟细胞死亡进程;CO专一性抑制剂及NO清除剂能逆转CO及NO的效应,缩短细胞死亡进程。(3)外源CO及NO供体促进干旱胁迫下水稻种子的萌发,CO专一性抑制剂及NO清除剂能抑制干旱胁迫下水稻种子的萌发。(4)CO合成酶抑制剂并不能抑制外源NO对干旱胁迫伤害的缓解效应,即CO能通过NO介导调节干旱胁迫下水稻种子糊粉层细胞的死亡及种子萌发。     

SNP和cPTIO对NaCl胁迫下拟南芥的生理影响

以拟南芥为材料,研究了0.5mmol/L的外源一氧化氮供体硝普纳(SNP)和200mmol/L的一氧化氮专一清除剂(cPTIO)对200mmol/LNaCl胁迫下对拟南芥的生理影响。0.5mmol/LSNP和200mmol/LcPTIO预处理2h后,加入200mmol/LNaCl。不同处理的拟南芥加入200mmol/LNaCl后,每隔12h取样一次,观察叶片生长情况、测定过氧化物酶(POD)、超氧化物歧化酶(SOD)、丙二醛(MDA)和超氧阴离子(O■)的变化。结果表明0.5mmol/L的SNP能缓解200mmol/LNaCl胁迫伤害,促进盐胁迫下幼苗的生长,显著提高抗氧化酶系统中POD和SOD活性,显著降低MDA和O■的含量,从而提高植株的抗盐性,而NO专一清除剂cPTIO能逆转SNP的上述效应。     

多胺对裸大麦离体叶片活性氧代谢的影响

裸大麦离体叶片分别在光照和暗诱导下,以腐胺(Put)、亚精胺(Spd)和精胺(Spm)等 3种多胺,分别用2 mmol/L、0.5 mmol/L、和 0.2 mmol/L3种浓度处理,均使丙二醛(MDA)累积减少,延缓过氧化氢酶和SOD活性的下降。以 CaCl_2(5 mmol/L)+Spd(0.5mmol/L)处理,可降低Spd(0.5 mmol/L)的效应。因此多胺延缓离体叶片衰老与活性氧代谢有关,并且进入细胞时,与Ca发生竞争。     

低温和外源NO对铁皮石斛原球茎多糖合成的影响

以铁皮石斛(Dendrobium officinale)原球茎为材料,研究了低温(4℃)、外源NO(NO供体SNP)以及NO清除剂(cPTIO)和一氧化氮合酶抑制剂(PBITU)对铁皮石斛原球茎中NO含量、蔗糖合成酶(SS)活性、多糖含量以及蔗糖、果糖、葡萄糖等糖含量的影响,以明确低温和內源NO在多糖合成中的关系。结果显示:(1)4℃低温处理下,铁皮石斛原球茎中NO含量显著上升,SS活性升高,蔗糖、果糖和葡萄糖含量增加,多糖含量也得到提高;SNP(0.5mmol·L-1)处理与4℃低温处理具有相似的效果;且低温诱导的铁皮石斛原球茎中SS活性提高和多糖含量的增加时期均在NO大量产生之后、蔗糖的积累早于果糖和葡萄糖。(2)4℃低温+SNP组合处理能够显著提高铁皮石斛原球茎中SS活性、NO含量以及蔗糖、果糖、葡萄糖和多糖含量,它们分别比对照组显著高出了68.04%,96.20%,60.69%、45.64%、66.90%和67.03%,且比低温和SNP单独处理效果都好。(3)PBITU能够部分抑制低温诱发铁皮石斛原球茎中产生NO,抑制率达到77.15%;同时还抑制了低温对铁皮石斛原球茎中SS活性、多糖合成和蔗糖、果糖、葡萄糖积累的促进作用。(4)SNP+cPTIO和4℃+cPTIO处理组中铁皮石斛原球茎SS活性和蔗糖、果糖、葡萄糖、多糖含量及NO水平,且与对照组差异不显著。研究表明,低温和外源NO对铁皮石斛原球茎多糖的合成均具有促进作用,并且低温可诱导铁皮石斛原球茎产生NO,SS活性提高和多糖含量增加与NO产生相关,说明NO是诱导铁皮石斛原球茎多糖合成所必需的信号分子。     

外源一氧化氮供体对渗透胁迫下小麦种子萌发和水解酶活性的影响

采用含水量测定和种子吸胀实验,发现一氧化氮(nitric oxide,NO)供体硝普钠(sodium nitroprusside,SNP)促进小麦种子在渗透胁迫下萌发的效应是通过提高种子的吸胀能力实现的;SNP还能明显诱导胁迫下种子淀粉酶同工酶Ⅰ活性的上升,加速淀粉胚乳的液化或溶解,而对酯酶影响不大.此外,在无胁迫条件下的小麦种子萌发早期(12 h),SNP处理可以显著诱导葡萄糖、果糖和蔗糖含量的上升;采用外源糖和SNP,结合NO清除剂处理小麦种子,观察到葡萄糖、果糖和蔗糖都参与萌发早期NO信号对小麦种子淀粉酶同工酶Ⅰ的激活.     

Relative and combined effects of ethanol and protein deficiency on strontium and barium bone content and fecal and urinary excretion

To elucidate accumulation of minerals in human iliac arteries with aging, the content of minerals was analyzed by inductively coupled plasma atomic emission spectrometry. Bilateral common, internal, and external iliac arteries of 16 men and 8 women, ranging ages from 65 to 93 yr, were examined. It was found that an extremely high accumulation of calcium and phosphorus occurred in the common iliac artery at old age, being higher than that of the internal and external iliac arteries. It should be noted that the accumulation of calcium and phosphorus is the highest in the common iliac artery among the human arteries examined to date. Regarding sexual differences, the content of calcium and phosphorus in the common and internal iliac arteries was higher in women than in men, whereas their content in the external iliac artery was lower in women than in men.     

New amino-dithiaphospholanes and phosphoramidodithioites and their rhodium and iridium complexes

New sulfur derivatives of phosphoramidite ligands were synthesized and the impact of the sulfur unit on the spectroscopic properties of their rhodium and iridium complexes was investigated. The new ligands Bn₂NPSCH₂CH₂S^a(P-S^a) (Bn = benzyl, 4), Bn₂NPSCHCHS^a(CH₂)₃C^aH₂(P-S^a)(C^a-S^a) (6) and Bn₂NP(4-XC₆H₄OMe)₂ (X = S, 7a; X = O, 7b) were converted to the rhodium and iridium complexes trans-[Rh(CO)Cl(L)₂] (L = 4, 6, 7), [RhCl(COD)(L)] (L = 4, 6, 7), [IrCl(COD)(7a)] and [IrCl₂Cp∗(6)]. For comparison, some phosphoramidite complexes of these formulations also were synthesized. The new metal complexes were spectroscopically analyzed. For the carbonyl complexes, the ν_CO IR stretching frequencies were lower than for the corresponding phosphite and phosphoramidite ligands. The ¹J_PRh coupling constants for the rhodium complexes with the new ligands were also smaller than for the respective phosphoramidite and phosphite complexes. Finally, the ¹J_PSe coupling constants of the selenides of the new ligands were lower than those of the phosphoramidite ligands but higher than for PPh₃. The spectroscopic data reveal that the new thio ligands 4, 6 and 7a are more electron donating than phosphites and phosphoramidites but less electron donating than PPh₃.     

Astrocytes and Synaptosomes Transport and Metabolize Lactate and Acetate Differently

Astrocytes transport the monocarboxylate acetate, but synaptosomes do not. The reason for this is unknown, because both preparations express monocarboxylate transporters (MCT). The transport and metabolism of lactate, another monocarboxylate, was examined in these two preparations, and the results were compared to those for acetate. Lactate transport is more rapid in astrocytes than in synaptosomes, but of lower affinity (Kms of 17 and 4 mM, respectively). Lactate (0.2 mM) is metabolized to CO2 more rapidly in synaptosomes than in astrocytes (rates of 0.37 and 0.07 nmol x mg protein(-1) x min(-1), respectively). The reason for this is unclear, but cellular differences in lactate dehydrogenase isotype expression may be involved. Acetate is metabolized to CO2 more rapidly in astrocytes than in synaptosomes (rates of 0.43 and 0.02 nmol x mg protein(-1) x min(-1), respectively). This is likely due to cellular differences in the expression of monocarboxylate transporter subtypes.

Prostaglandin and thromboxane production by human and guinea-pig macrophages and leucocytes

The ability of partially purified human and guinea-pig haematogenous cell populations, when cultured in vitro, to metabolise arachidonic acid (AA) has been studied. Supernatants from 24 hour cell culture have been subjected to analysis for products of AA metabolism by gas chromatography with electron-capture detection.The cell types studied were human peripheral blood monocytes (both glass adherent and non-adherent), neutrophils, eosinophils and leukemic leucocytes; thoracic duct lymphocytes and lung alveolar macrophages. From the guinea-pig, induced and non-induced macrophage or neutrophil enriched peritoneal exudate populations, lymph node cells, peritoneal eosinophils and peripheral blood platelets were examined. Supernatants were assayed for the presence of PGE₂, PGD₂, PGF_2α, TXB₂ and 6-keto-PGF_1α. In all types studied PGE₂ and TXB₂ were the major products formed. The identification of PGE₂ and TXB₂ was confirmed by GC/MS with multiple ion monitoring.The results have been compared with other reports and their possible significance discussed in relation to the proposed role of prostaglandins as mediators and modulators in immunopathology.     

Cytoskeleton and mitochondrial morphology and function

It has been well established that the cytoskeleton is an essential modulator of cell morphology and motility, intracytoplasmic transport and mitosis, however cytoskeletal linkage to the organelles has not been unequivocally demonstrated. Indeed, cytoskeleton appears to be essential in determining and modulating gene phenotype as a function of cellular environment. According to recent studies, the organization of the cytoskeleton network together with associated protein(s) could be essential in regulating mitochondrial function and particularly the permeability of the mitochondrial outer membrane to ADP. The aim of this chapter is to summarize the main properties of the cytoskeletal environment of mitochondria and the possible role(s) of this network in mitochondrial function in myocytes.
