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。     

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。     

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.

AREL1 resists the apoptosis induced by TGF-β by inhibiting SMAC in vascular endothelial cells

Abnormal apoptosis of vascular endothelial cells is an important feature of arteriosclerosis (AS). Here, we induced apoptosis in human umbilical vein endothelial cells (HUVECs) using transforming growth factor-β (TGF-β), and investigated the role of antiapoptotic E3 ubiquitin ligase (AREL1) in the apoptosis of vascular endothelial cells. We proved that AREL1 is downregulated in TGF-β treated HUVECs. The overexpression of AREL1 inhibits the activation of Caspase-3 and Caspase-9 and attenuates cell apoptosis induced by TGF-β. According to the result of coimmunoprecipitation, AREL1 interacts with the proapoptotic proteins the second mitochondria-derived activator of caspases (SMAC) in TGF-β treated HUVECs. In addition, miR-320b inhibits the expression of AREL1, and the overexpression of AREL1 attenuates the apoptosis induced by miR-320b mimics in HUVECs. In conclusion, AREL1 is downregulated by miR-320b. AREL1 overexpression inhibits TGF-β induced apoptosis through downregulating SMAC in vascular endothelial cells. Our study explores pathogenesis regulation mechanism and new biological therapeutic targets for vascular disease.     

Investigations of interaction mechanism and conformational variation of serum albumin affected by artemisinin and dihydroartemisinin

In this work, binding interactions of artemisinin (ART) and dihydroartemisinin (DHA) with human serum albumin (HSA) and bovine serum albumin (BSA) were investigated thoroughly to illustrate the conformational variation of serum albumin. Experimental results indicated that ART and DHA bound strongly with the site I of serum albumins via hydrogen bond (H-bond) and van der Waals force and subsequently statically quenched the intrinsic fluorescence of serum albumins through concentration-dependent manner. The quenching abilities of two drugs on the intrinsic fluorescence of HSA were much higher than the quenching abilities of two drugs on the intrinsic fluorescence of BSA. Both ART and DHA, especially DHA, caused the conformational variation of serum albumins and reduced the α-helix structure content of serum albumins. DHA with hydrophilic hydroxyl group bound with HSA more strongly, suggesting the important roles of the chemical polarity and the hydrophilicity during the binding interactions of two drugs with serum albumins. These results reveal the molecular understanding of binding interactions between ART derivatives and serum albumins, providing vital information for the future application of ART derivatives in biological and clinical areas.
