海枣曲霉β-半乳糖苷酶的提纯与性质

 通过过聚乙二醇6000-磷酸钾缓冲液双相分离、Sephadex G-100凝胶过滤、DEAE-Sephadex A-50离子交换层析、羟基磷灰石层析及SephadexG-100凝胶过滤等提纯步骤,从海枣曲霉(Aspergillus phoenicis)麦麸培养物抽提液中提纯得到凝胶电泳均一的β-半乳糖苷酶。该酶的最适pH为3.5—4.0,最适温度为60℃(反应15分钟),在pH5.0—8.5之间及60℃以下稳定。在65℃和70℃保温时失活50％的时间分别为27和2分钟。用SDS凝胶电泳法和梯度凝胶电泳法分别测得该酶的分子量为115,000和118,000。薄层凝胶等电聚焦法测得其等电点为pH4.6。     

粪产碱菌（Alcaligenes faecalis）吸收氢和同化CO2的特性

应用同位素氚(T_2)和~13C(~13CO_2),证明了水稻联合固氮菌——粪产碱菌A—15是一种含有吸氢酶的兼性化能自养细菌,具有较强的吸氢能力,吸氨酶活性可达到13.11μmol H_2 ml~(-1) cultureh~(-1);同时,它还可利用H_2为能源同化CO_2营化能自养生活,其RuBPC活性为24.65 nmolCO_2 mg~(-1) protein min~(-1)。无论在自养还是异养条件下,H_2都支持、并促进固氮活性。粪产碱菌培养在N_2条件下比在NH_4~ 条件下能积累更多的多聚-β羟基丁酸(PHB)。     

人肝癌细胞株中EGFR的表达和EGF对肝癌细胞生长的促进

本文分析了人肝癌细胞株7404,7721细胞中表皮生长因子受体(EGFR)基因表达和EGF对肝癌细胞生长的促进作用。~(125)Ⅰ-EGF对7404细胞的结合试验表明结合是可饱和的和专一的,从~(125)Ⅰ-EGF对7404、7721细胞结合浓度曲线作Scatchard作图和计算,提示每个7404和7721细胞表面分别有1.1×10~5和0.7×10~5的EGFR分子。Northern杂交分析证明EGFR基因在7404,7721细胞中的转录产物主要是5.6 kb EGFR mRNA,免疫印迹分析证明7404细胞和7721细胞的EGFR为170kd的蛋白。EGF对培养于含10%或0.5%小牛血清的RPMI-1640培液中的7404、7721细胞的贴壁依赖性生长有促进作用,促进作用的程度与培液中CS含量有一定关系,提示EGF的促生长作用可能是EGF与血清中其他成分协同作用的结果。EGF对培养于软琼脂中的7404,7721细胞的贴壁不依赖性生长也有明显促进作用。综合上述实验结果说明EGFR基因在人肝癌细胞中是活跃表达的,EGF可能是肝癌细胞生长依赖的一个重要有丝分裂原。     

高胆固醇高脂肪膳食对家兔β-VLDL组成及其与巨噬细胞相互作用的影响的初步研究

给家兔喂以1％胆固醇及10％菜油(A组)或猪油(B组)50多天后A组血胆固醇水平(824.2±265.1mg/dl)明显低于B组(1666±693.8mg/dl);A组甘油三酯水平(51.9±19.1mg/dl)亦低于B组(104±40.2mg/dl)。二组家兔的β—VLDL的脂类组成无差别,但A组β—VLDL的apoE高于B组,分别为45.2％及37.5％。高分子量apoB(apoB_h)为33.6％,低于B组β-VLDL(47.3％)。A组β-VLDL促进小鼠腹腔巨噬细胞胆固醇堆积的程度大于B组,可能与apoE含量高有关。我们认为多不饱和脂酸减轻动脉粥样硬化(As)的作用不在于改变脂蛋白构成后阻碍泡沫细胞的形成而是促进β—VLDL从体内清除。     

人肝癌细胞表皮生长因子受体以及佛波酯对它的调度

Using radioligand binding assay, the presence of epidermal growth factor (EGF) receptors in cells of two human liver cancer cell lines, BEL-7402 and SMMC-7721, was demonstrated. The ligand binding data were analyzed by a computer program. The dissociation constants (KD) of the ligand-receptor binding complex at equilibrium for 7402 and 7721 cells were 1.2 nM and 0.8 nM respectively, and their number of EGF receptors per cell were 6.2 x 10(4) and 2.5 x 10(4) respectively. After the treatment of cells with phorbol 12-myristate 13-acetate (PMA), no change either in the affinity or in the number of EGF receptors was found in 7721 cells. However, in the case of 7402 cells, while the number of receptors, like 7721 cells, remained unchanged, the affinity of EGF receptors displayed a time dependent modulation after PMA treatment. It dropped within the first hour to a KD value of 3.0 nM and then gradually returned to the normal control value at 48 hours or even slightly higher than normal (0.95 nM) at 96 hours of treatment. The modulation or down-regulation of EGF receptors by PMA in 7402 cells was paralleled by the simultaneous inhibition of DNA synthesis in these cells as evidenced from their reduction of 3H-TdR uptake. It is not clear what is the basis for the differences found between 7402 cells and 7721 cells in their number of EGF receptors per cell and their responsiveness to PMA treatment. It might be related to their difference in autocrine secretion of alpha-transforming growth factors.(ABSTRACT TRUNCATED AT 250 WORDS)     

酪氨酸对人离体滋养层细胞孕酮与hCG分泌的影响

本文观察三种剂量(2×10~(-5)mol/L,2×10~(-4)mol/L和2×10~(-3)mol/L)的酪氮酸对离体培养的滋养层细胞孕酮及hCG分泌的影响,并对其抑制效应的机理作了初步探讨。实验结果表明,三种剂量的酪氨酸均可抑制滋养层细胞孕酮分泌(P<0.01),但是,在孕酮分泌受酪氨酸抑制的同时,未见对hCG分泌发生影响(P>0.05),进一步观察了酪氨酸对滋养层细胞3β-羟甾脱氢酶活性的影响,结果表明,酪氨酸能显著抑制3β-羟甾脱氢酶活性,提示酪氨酸对滋养层细胞孕酮生成的抑制作用与抑制3β-羟甾脱氢酶活性有关。
