艾氏剂环氧化酶及细胞色素P－450对小菜蛾抗药性发展的影响

本文对室内长期饲养的小菜蛾（Ｐｌｕｔｅｌｌａ　ｘｙｌｏｓｔｅｌｌａ　Ｌ．）敏感品系和田间采集的抗性种群体内的艾氏剂平氧化酶及细胞色素Ｐ－４５０进行了比较研究。结果证明,艾氏剂环氧化酶在感性和抗性小菜蛾间存在着量及质的差异。抗性种群的艾氏剂环氧化酶的Ｖｍａｘ和Ｋｍ值分别为感性品系的５．４％和６．５倍。抗性种群的细胞色素Ｐ－４５０的含量是感性品系的１．１—１．３倍。艾氏剂环氧化酶在量上及质上的差异及细胞色素Ｐ－４５０含量的提高是导致小菜蛾抗药性发生与发展的重要机制之一。而且质的差异较之量的差异可能起着更为重要的作用．     

RFLP诊断方法的改进

RFLP(限制性片段长度多态)技术应用于遗传病的诊断始于1981年。在十年时间里,这一基因诊断技术和分析方法不断得到发展和改进。随着越来越多的致病基因和连锁DNA多态片段的分离和克隆,该技术在分析缺陷基因性质,携带者检出和产前诊断等方面将发挥重要作用.然而,RFLP技术复杂,耗费时间和费用较大,使其向临床推广应用面临很大局限性。因此,基因诊断的方法简化和技术改进大有必要。1985年首创的多聚酶链

人白细胞介素－3在大肠杆菌中的高效表达

人白细胞介素－３（ｈｕｍａｎＩｎｔｅｒｌｅｕｋｉｎ３,ｈＩＬ－３）是一种造血前体细胞早期分化的关键调节因子。用ＰＣＲ方法从人Ｔ淋巴细胞ｃＤＮＡ文库中扩增出０．４４ｋｂ的ＤＮＡ片段,并克隆入ｐＵＣ１９载体中。经ＤＮＡ序列测定,确定０．４４ｋｂ的ＰＣＲ产物合完整的编码人白细胞介素－３成熟蛋白ｃＤＮＡ序列,并在信号肽与成熟蛋白编码序列之间通过突变引入了限制性内切酶位点和ＡＴＧ起始密码。构建的ＰＬ启动子控制下的ｈＩＬ－３ｃＤＮＡ表达质粒,转入大肠杆菌Ｔａｐ１０６,经４２℃热诱导,获得ｈＩＬ－３的表达产物。ＳＤＳ－ＰＡＧＥ电泳显示表达产物为１５ｋｄ,约占细菌总蛋白的１５％。表达产物经ＥＬＩＳＡ和Ｗｅｓｔｅｒｎ－ｂｌｏｔ验证。ｈＩＬ－３表达产物在细胞内形成包涵体,纯化包涵体,使产物纯度提高到７０．８％,产物复性后,能明显促进ｈＩＬ－３依赖细胞株生长,具有明显的生物活性。产物转移到ＰＶＤＦ膜后进行Ｎ端序列分析,Ｎ端１６个氨基酸正确。     

佛波酯能改变细胞表面糖蛋白N－糖链的结构

利用标记Ｎ－糖链的凝集素亲和层析法研究了佛波醇肉桂酸乙酸酯（ＰＭＡ）对人肝癌细胞ＳＭＭＣ－７７２１表面糖蛋白上Ｎ－糖链结构的影响,发现１００ｎｍｏｌ／Ｌ的ＰＭＡ处理５天后,可使细胞表面Ｎ－糖链中高甘露糖型和杂合型以及四天线、Ｃ２Ｃ２,６三天线复杂型的比例增高,而二天线复杂型降低。此结果与我们曾报道的视黄酸（ＲＡ）和双丁配环磷酸腺苷（ｄｂ－ｃＡＭＰ）对该细胞表面Ｎ－糖链的影响相反。因ＲＡ和ｄｂ－ｃＡＭＰ是ＳＭＭＣ－７７２１细胞的分化诱导剂,可抑制细胞生长;而ＰＭＡ是该细胞的增殖促进剂,故细胞表面Ｎ－糖链的变化与细胞的分化和增殖密切相关。     

Coordinated mRNA and Protein Expression of Human LAMP-1 in Induction of Melanogenesis After UV-B Exposure and Co-Transfection of Human Tyrosinase and TRP-1 cDNAs

In order to better understand the cascade of melanogenic events in melanocytes, this report has introduced our two recent approaches for the expression of melanogenesis/or melanosome-associated genes and encoded proteins in melanocytes (melanoma cells) after repeated exposure to UV -B and after cotransfection of two human genes, i.e., tyrosinase and tyrosinase-related protein-1 (TRP-1). Repeated exposure of UV B (2.5–5.0 mJ/cm²) caused not only upregulation of tyrosinase and TRP-1 genes but also coordinated increase in the gene and protein synthesis expression of Lamp-1 (lysosome-associated membrane protein-1). When COS-7 kidney cells and amelanotic melanoma (C32 and SKMEL-24) and melanotic melanoma (G361 and SK-MEL-23) cells were exposed to cotransfection of human tyrosinase and TRP-1 cDNAs, there was also an increased expression of Lamp-1 mRNA and protein along with tyrosinase activation and new melanin synthesis. Importantly, single transfectants of human tyrosinase cDNA revealed marked cellular degeneration, whereas this degeneration was not seen in single transfectants of TRP-1 cDNA or cotransfectants of human tyrosinase and TRP-1 cDNAs, indicating that TRP-1 prevented, along with Lamp-1, programmed death of melanocytes after transfection of tyrosinase gene. The coordinated expression of TRP-1 and Lamp-1 was further confirmed by antisense oligodeoxynucleotide hybridization experiment against Lamp-1 gene, showing the decreased expression of TRP-1 as identified by three different types of anti-TRP-1 monoclonal antibodies. We propose therefore that human tyrosinase and TRP-l, when activated or expressed together, will coordinate to upregulate the mRNA expression and protein synthesis of Lamp-1. The Lamp-1 molecules will, in turn, cover the inner surface of melanosomal membrane, together with TRP-1 molecules, thus protecting the melanosomal membrane from toxic melanin intermediates generated during melanogenesis in the presence of active tyrosinase. In contrast, the expression of other lysosome-related proteins, e.g., β-galactosidase and CD63 is not stimulated in new melanogenesis.

A stage—specific protein factor binding to a CACCC motif in both human β—globin gene promoter and 5‘—HS2 region

The DNaseI hypersensitive site 2 (HS2) of human β-globin locus control region(LCR) is required for the high level expression of human β-globin genes.In the present study,a stage-specific protein factor (LPF-β) was identified in the nuclear extract prepared from mouse fetal liver at d 18 of gestation,which could bind to the HS2 region of human β-globin LCR.We also found that the shift band of LPF-β factor could be competed by human β-globin promoter.However,it couldn‘t be competed by human ε-globin promoter or by human ^Aγ-globin promoter.Furthermore,our data demonstrated that the binding-sequence of LPF-β factor is 5‘CACACCCTA 3‘,which is located at the HS2 region of β-LCR(from-10845 to-10853 bp)and human β-globin promoter(from-92 to -84 bp).We speculated that these regions containing the CACCC box in both the human β-globin promoter and HS2 might function as stage selector elements in the regulation of human β-globin switching and the LPF-β factor might be a stage-specific protein factor involved in the regulation of human β-globin gene expression.
