荧光标记法测定植物乳杆菌ST-Ⅲ对肠道致病菌的粘附抑制及其相关机制的研究

目的研究植物乳杆菌ST-Ⅲ对大肠埃希菌和沙门菌与Caco-2细胞粘附的抑制作用,并初探其机制。方法采用CFDA-SE荧光标记的方法测定加入ST-Ⅲ前后对致病菌对Caco-2细胞粘附能力的变化,通过化学和酶处理ST-Ⅲ细胞壁表面成分、提取相关物质,研究ST-Ⅲ对致病菌粘附的抑制机制。结果 ST-Ⅲ对2种致病菌都具有明显的抑制粘附的能力,其在相同情况下对大肠埃希菌粘附的抑制效果好于对沙门菌的效果(P0.05)。化学和酶处理表明ST-Ⅲ的表面蛋白或者磷壁酸可能参与了对致病菌粘附的抑制过程,提取后发现表面蛋白对大肠埃希菌的粘附表现出极强的抑制效果(P0.01),而对沙门菌的粘附没有抑制作用(P0.05);磷壁酸对2种致病菌均不具备抑制粘附的作用。结论 ST-Ⅲ对大肠埃希菌与Caco-2细胞粘附的抑制作用主要是通过竞争性抑制,而对沙门菌粘附的抑制作用主要是通过空间位阻形成的。     

荧光标记法初探植物乳杆菌ST-Ⅲ对Caco-2细胞的粘附机理

利用荧光探针CFDA-SE标记植物乳杆菌ST-Ⅲ,测定其对Caco-2细胞粘附能力的变化,提取相关物质,探讨其粘附机理。化学和酶处理ST-Ⅲ菌悬液发现,经胃蛋白酶、胰蛋白酶、氯化锂、苯酚、盐酸胍和热处理能显著降低ST-Ⅲ的粘附性,表明表面蛋白或脂磷壁酸(Lipoteichoic acid)可能参与了ST-Ⅲ对Caco-2细胞的粘附。粘附抑制试验和可逆性结合实验证实表面蛋白而非脂磷壁酸参与了ST-Ⅲ对Caco-2细胞的粘附。结果表明ST-Ⅲ的表面蛋白粗提物可能含有粘附素类的S-层蛋白(S-layer protein),经SDS-PAGE电泳分析,此粗提物主要成分的分子量分别为72.7、34.1和24.3kD。

通过对28株不同罗伊氏乳杆菌(Lactobacillus reuteri)菌株的粘附力、细胞表面疏水性、与大肠杆菌的共聚合等指标的测定及相关性分析,成功筛选出粘附力最高的菌株R28。研究了该菌株的耐酸性和耐胆盐能力。结果表明,R28与其它菌株相比具有良好的粘附能力。该菌株的自聚集能力和疏水性分别为26.25%和75.53%。与大肠杆菌的共聚合能力可高达36.84%。细胞粘附数可达约43个细菌/每个杆菌细胞。菌株R28具有良好的耐酸性(pH=3)和耐胆盐性(0.1%),其能够很好的粘附于宿主肠道细胞发挥益生作用。罗伊氏乳杆菌R28作为一株优良的益生菌在食品和医药领域具有广阔的应用前景。     

乳酸菌粘附力与生物膜、疏水性和自凝集特性的研究

目的益生菌粘附能力的强弱是其发挥益生作用的前提条件,因此确定细菌粘附力的初筛指标对于益生菌的研究意义重大。方法以5株乳酸菌为研究对象,对其生物膜、疏水性和自凝集的特性进行研究。结果德氏乳杆菌DM8909、罗伊乳杆菌RC-14具有良好的疏水性和自凝集能力,且成膜能力较强,而戊糖片球菌则疏水性、自凝集和生物膜的形成能力都较弱。结论疏水性、自凝集能力和生物膜形成能力三者关系具有正相关,均可作为粘附能力的考察指标。     

乳杆菌抑制金黄色葡萄球菌对HeLa细胞的粘附

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.     

A Unique Protease Cleavage Site Predicted in the Spike Protein of the Novel Pneumonia Coronavirus (2019-nCoV) Potentially Related to Viral Transmissibility

正Dear Editor,In December 2019, a novel human coronavirus caused an epidemic of severe pneumonia(Coronavirus Disease 2019,COVID-19) in Wuhan, Hubei, China(Wu et al. 2020; Zhu et al. 2020). So far, this virus has spread to all areas of China and even to other countries. The epidemic has caused 67,102 confirmed infections with 1526 fatal cases     

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.
