低营养条件下Paclobutrazol(PP333)对黄瓜去顶幼苗直接形成花芽的影响(简报)

植物开花机理是生物学中的一个基本问题,多年来人们进行过许多的研究,积累了大量的事实,然而对开花的机理仍然还不甚清楚。因而在利用原有实验系统的同时,有必要寻找更多简单,又便于分析的实验系统。Jullien等报告离体培养的大豆子叶节能直接产生花芽。我们在建立离体培养黄瓜子叶直接单独形成雄花或雌花的实验系统的过程中,发现黄瓜幼苗去除顶芽后在子叶节处也能直接形成花芽。这一现象有可能用于深入研究各营养器官和花启动间关系等问题,定将     

腺苷及其类似物对猪血小板肌动蛋白聚合的抑制作用及可能机理

凝血酶和ADP刺激血小板肌动蛋白的聚合,腺苷、5′-氯-5′-脱氧腺苷及2′-脱氧腺苷抑制凝血酶和(或)ADP诱导的肌动蛋白聚合;腺苷和5′-氯-5′-脱氧腺苷对磷脂酰肌醇的磷酸化有抑制作用,且呈剂量效应关系;腺苷对凝血酶刺激的血小板中肌醇二磷酸的生成有抑制作用。本实验提示腺苷及其类似物对肌动蛋白聚合的抑制作用可能与它们对肌醇磷脂转换的抑制有关。     

高脂血症兔球结膜微循环的改变

本实验用胆固醇粉喂家兔,造成实验性高脂血症,活体观察球结膜微循环的形态、流态及血管周围状态等１５项指标,并用球结膜微循环综合定量评价方法计算了综合积分值。处死后取球结膜进行组织学检查。结果表明：高脂血症家兔球结膜微循环有明显改变,主要为微血管形态异常、血流减慢、红细胞聚集、白微栓、静脉壁上有白色斑块等改变。球结膜微循环综合积分值明显增加,高于实验前。球结膜组织学检查发现上皮层下有泡沫细胞、血管壁增厚、有空泡、静脉内有血栓。虹膜睫状体内除有多数泡沫细胞外,还有胆固醇的菱形结晶。上述改变表明,高脂血症兔球结膜微循环有明显改变。血液有高凝、高聚倾向。黑茶中的茶色素有抗凝、抑制血小板聚集、促进纤溶等作用,口服黑茶可改善高脂血症兔球结膜微循环障碍。     

肌苷发酵液絮凝除菌体的研究

目前国内肌苷生产厂家普遍采用的提取方法是“双柱法”,即先用阳离子柱吸附,然后再用炭柱吸附。该方法不但周期长,工作量大,能耗高,而且提取收率低,一般只有60％左右,使我国肌苷的生产成本大大提高。因此,寻求新的提取方法,降低生产成本,是肌苷生产厂家及有关科技人员所共同关注的问题。肌苷发酵液的除菌体就是新法提取的步骤之一,它可以省去阳离子吸附柱,直接采用炭柱吸附,采用此法可使提取周期大大缩短,降低能耗,提高提取收率。 肌苷菌体较难清除,本研究采用能耗低、易操作,工作量小的絮凝方法,所用的絮凝剂为天然无毒物质,因此沉淀菌体可用作饲料蛋白,起到一举两得的作用。     

异质性荧光染色的巨噬细胞功能研究I．异质性荧光染色的巨噬细胞吞噬活性

利用淀粉多糖和免疫促进剂（白喉类毒素和卡介苗）诱导和活化小鼠腹腔巨噬细胞,观察了四种异质性荧光染色的巨噬细胞非特异性和特异性吞噬活性。实验证明,深蓝色和淡蓝色荧光的巨噬细胞是分化程度低的幼稚细胞,非特异性吞噬功能较弱,但在特异性吞噬过程中呈现了活跃的吞噬活性,特别是在免疫促进剂的活化下,它们的特异性吞噬功能显著增强、淡蓝绿色荧光的巨噬细胞是分化程度较高、非特异性和特异性吞噬功能最旺盛的巨噬细胞,而黄色荧光的巨噬细胞是分化程度最高、特异性吞噬功能较减退的巨噬细胞。     

Neutrophil priming mechanisms of sulfolipid-I and n-formyl-methionyl-leucyl-phenylalanine

The principal sulfatide of virulentMycobacterium tuberculosis, sulfolipid-I (SL-I), both directly stimulates neutrophil superoxide (O ₂ ^– ) release and, at substimulatory concentrations, primes these cells for markedly enhanced oxidative responsiveness to other stimuli. The present study was undertaken to clarify the priming mechanisms by comparing cellular events following priming doses of SL-I with those following priming with N-formyl-methionyl-leucyl-phenylalanine (FMLP). We compared the involvement of the calcium cation (Ca²⁺), as well as membrane protein kinase C (PKC) activity and the translocation of NADPH oxidase-cytosolic cofactor effected by priming levels of the two agonists. The investigation led to two important conclusions. First, we clearly demonstrate that priming by both SL-I and FMLP results from activation of cellular processes that are not involved in direct oxidative activation. For example, whereas direct induction of O ₂ ^– generation by FMLP and SL-I required increases in intracellular Ca²⁺, an increase in intracellular calcium concentration ([Ca²⁺]_i) above basal levels was not required for priming. Second, we identified key differences in the cellular responses to priming doses of SL-I and FMLP. Whereas increased membrane PKC activity caused by priming doses of FMLP was only partially blocked by chelation of intracellular Ca²⁺, Ca²⁺ chelation completely inhibited the increase in membrane PKC activity caused by SL-I. NADPH oxidase-cytosolic factor translocation to plasma membranes was completely blocked by pertussis toxin when priming doses of SL-I were used. This guanine-nucleotide-binding protein inhibitor had no effect on FMLP-dependent translocation of the oxidase cofactors. The comparative approach introduced in this report provides a valuable and novel method to discern the complex interactions of various cellular processes that regulate the state of activation of stimulated cells.     

Increase in cytoskeletal actin induced by inositol 1,4-bisphosphate in saponin-permeated pig platelets

Inositol 1,4-bisphosphate (IP₂), which rapidly accumulates during cell activation, strongly stimulates an increase in cytoskeletal actin in saponin-permeated platelets, and the effect is insensitive to 5′-Chloro-5′-deoxyadenosine. Within 10 s, the amount of cytoskeletal actin in platelets rapidly increases by 41%, and then slowly increases further. IP₂ induces the increase in cytoskeletal actin in a dose-dependent manner. The half-maximal effect requires approximately 2 μM of IP₂ Inositol 1,4,5- triphosphate, the messenger for Ca²⁺ release, causes the increase in cytoskeletal actin, but is less effective than IP₂. Inositol 1-monophosphate and inositol 2-monophosphate have no effect on cytoskeletal actin. Phorbol 12-myristate 13-acetate, which has been shown to activate IP₃ 5′-phosphatase through protein kinase C, stimulates the increase in cytoskeletal actin. Spermine, an inhibitor of IP₃ 5′-phosphatase, inhibits the thrombin stimulated increase in cytoskeletal actin. These results suggest that IP₂ may be a messenger that controls the organization of actin filaments during cell activation. This study presents the first evidence for IP₂ as a messenger during cell activation.     

复合四倍体异育银鲫个体间遗传异质性的研究

用聚丙烯酰胺梯度凝胶电泳,分析比较了４个不同的银鲫雌核发育系,红鲤和复合四倍体异育银鲫鳍的５种不同的同工酶及蛋白表型的差异,表明复合四倍体异育银鲫表型上的差异主要是来自银鲫种内的遗传差异（不同的雌核发育系）。来源于同一个银鲫雌核发育系的复合四倍体异育银鲫,个体间的ＥＳＴ同工酶出现差异,并与父体红鲤的ＥＳＴ同工酶的多态性相关,因此,复合四倍体异育银鲫个体间的异质性也包含了来自父本的遗传影响。在所检测     

鱼类远缘杂交正反交杂种胚胎发育差异的细胞遗传学分析

本文报道了鲤(Cyprinus carpio)×鲢(Hypophthalmichthys molitrix)、鲫(Carassiusauratus)×鲢、白鲫(Carassius auratus cuvieri)×鲢和鲢×鲤、鲢×鲫、鲢×白鲫的正反交试验。在鲤×鲢、鲫×鲢和白鲫×鲢3个正交组中,胚胎发育基本正常,尽管孵出的鱼苗绝大多数生命力弱,但孵化率都在50％左右;而在鲢×鲤、鲢×鲫和鲢×白鲫3个反交组中,胚胎发育均为畸形,不能孵化出苗。 胚胎发育细胞遗传学分析表明,鲤×鲢、鲫×鲢和白鲫×鲢的杂种胚胎几乎都是整倍体,而鲢×鲤、鲢×鲫×鲢×白鲫的杂种胚胎基本上是非整倍体,染色体数变化较大。这些正反交杂种胚胎发育的显著差异可能与其亲本物种间的基因组大小有关。文中还分析讨论了这些正反交差异与天然多倍体物种以及胚胎发育速度的相关性,认为天然多倍体物种可能具有一些不同于普通二倍体物种协调外源基因组的能力。
