乙型肝炎病毒X蛋白上调环加氧酶2表达促进肝癌细胞增殖的实验研究

乙肝病毒X蛋白（Hepatitis B virus X protein,HBx）高表达与乙肝相关肝癌的发病密切相关,但HBx发挥促癌作用的机制并不清楚。环加氧酶2（Cyclooxygenase,COX2）具有促进肝癌细胞增殖的功能,乙肝相关肝癌中COX2的表达增加且与HBx呈正相关,提示上调COX2可能是HBx促进肝癌细胞增殖的分子机制。为了阐明HBx是否通过上调COX2促进肝癌细胞增殖,本实验培养了肝癌HepG2细胞并分为对照组、转染pcDNA3.1-HBx质粒的HBx组、转染NC siRNA的si-NC组、转染NC siRNA及pcDNA3.1-HBx质粒的si-NC+HBx组、转染COX2 siRNA及pcDNA3.1-HBx质粒的si-COX2+HBx组。检测细胞增殖活力OD_490nm的水平,COX2、B淋巴细胞瘤2基因（BCL2）、生存素（Survivin）的表达量,前列腺素E2（英文名,PGE2）的含量。实验结果显示,HBx组的OD_490nm水平,细胞中COX2、BCL2、Survivin的表达量,培养基中PGE2的含量均高于对照...     

茎瘤固氮根瘤菌ORS571 GGDEF和EAL结构域蛋白的预测及功能研究

[目的]环二鸟苷酸c-di-GMP是细菌中广泛存在的第二信使,能够调控多种细胞功能。c-di-GMP的合成与水解分别由含有GGDEF结构域和EAL结构域的蛋白催化。本研究针对茎瘤固氮根瘤菌ORS571的GGDEF和EAL结构域相关蛋白进行基因组学分析,并对三个同时含有GGDEF和EAL结构域的蛋白（AZC_3085、AZC_3226和AZC_4658）进行功能研究。[方法]利用SMART数据库对含有GGDEF和EAL结构域的蛋白进行结构域预测。利用CLUSTALW程序对蛋白序列进行比较分析。通过同源重组的方法构建突变株,并对突变株的细胞运动能力、胞外多糖合成、生物膜形成及与豆科宿主的结瘤等表型进行测定。[结果]茎瘤固氮根瘤菌ORS571中一共存在37个GGDEF和EAL结构域蛋白。突变株△4658的运动能力较野生型有下降,但是其胞外多糖合成能力、生物膜形成能力和竞争性结瘤能力较野生型有提高。此外,实验结果表明突变株△4658的胞内c-di-GMP水平高于野生型。突变株△3085和△3226的各种表型与野生型相比没有明显差异。[结论]茎瘤固氮根瘤菌ORS571编码如此大数量的GGDEF和EAL结构域蛋白,表明c-di-GMP可能在其信号转导过程中起到非常重要的作用。同时具有GGDEF和EAL结构域的蛋白AZC_4658对茎瘤固氮根瘤菌ORS571的运动能力、胞外多糖合成、生物膜形成及与宿主的结瘤起到一定的调节作用。

DNA chip-based expression profile analysis indicates involvement of the phosphatidylinositol signaling pathway in multiple plant responses to hormone and abiotic treatments

The phosphatidylinositol (PI) metabolic pathway is considered critical in plant responses to many environmental factors, and previous studies have indicated the involvement of multiple PI-related gene families during cellular responses.Through a detailed analysis of the Arabidopsis thaliana genome, 82 polypeptides were identified as being involved in PI signaling. These could be grouped into different families including PI synthases (PIS), PI-phosphate kinases (PIPK),phospholipases (PL), inositol polyphosphate phosphatases (IPPase), inositol polyphosphate kinases (IPK), PI transfer proteins and putative inositol polyphosphate receptors. The presence of more than 10 isoforms of PIPK, PLC, PLD and IPPase suggested that these genes might be differentially expressed during plant cellular responses or growth and development. Accordingly, DNA chip technology was employed to study the expression patterns of various isoforms.In total, 79 mRNA clones were amplified and used for DNA chip generation. Expression profile analysis was performed using samples that represented multiple tissues or cellular responses. Tested samples included normal leaf, stem and flower tissues, and leaves from plants treated with various hormones (auxin, cytokinin, gibberellin, abscisic acid and brassinosteroid) or environmental factors (temperature, calcium, sodium, drought, salicylic acid and jasmonic acid).Results showed that many PI pathway-related genes were differentially expressed under these experimental conditions.In particular, the different isoforms of each family were specifically expressed in many cases, suggesting their involvement in tissue specificity and cellular responses to environmental conditions. This work provides a starting point for functional studies of the relevant PI-related proteins and may help shed light onto the role of PI pathways in development and cellular responses.     

β3受体激动剂对培养的大鼠心肌细胞搏动频率和细胞内环-磷酸腺苷水平的影响

目的：观察β3受体激动剂(BRL-37344)对培养的大鼠心肌细胞搏动频率和细胞内环-磷酸腺苷(cAMP)水平的影响,以探讨β3受体在心肌细胞中的作用。方法：分离培养乳鼠心肌细胞,随机分为八组：对照组、ISO组、Nadolol ISO组、BRL组、PTX BRL组、L-NAME BRL、Nadolol BRL组和Buprandol BRL组,观察心肌细胞搏动频率,并应用酶联免疫方法测定cAMP含量,逆转录多聚酶链反应(RT-PCR)方法测β3受体mRNA表达。结果：ISO(非选择性β受体激动剂)可显著增加心肌细胞搏动频率和升高cAMP水平,这种作用可被Nadolol(为β1,β2受体抑制剂)阻断。BRL-37344可显著降低心肌细胞搏动频率和cAMP含量,这种作用可被PTX(Gi蛋白抑制剂)和Bupranolol(非选择性β受体阻滞荆)完全阻断,同时可被L-NAME(一氧化氮合酶抑制剂)部分阻断,不受Badolol影响。RT-PCR方法测出心肌细胞中有β3受体mRNA表达。结论：心肌细胞中存在β3受体,它在心肌表现为负性变力作用,β3受体的效应不受β1,β2受体抑制剂影响。心脏β3受体信号途径中可能有Gi蛋白的参与,并且经过一氧化氮合酶途径发挥其作用。

The studies on neurogenesis indufced by brain injury in adult ring dove

It was the first time demonstrated by us that the number of newborn neurons was increased after making lesion in forebrain of adult ring dove(Streptopelia risoria) by means of autoradiography and imunohistochemistry,Neurogensis in the adult avian is restricted to the telencephalon.In doves with bilateral electrolytic lesion of nucleus ectostriatum(E),the mean mumber of proliferating cells in the lateral ventricular zone(LVZ) and newborn neurons in the forebrain increased by 1.95 times and 2.38 times respectively as compared with that in intact doves.The most remarkable incresase of neurogenesis induced by nucleus ectostriatum lesions was found at the anteriorposterior level 3(L3),where the lesion site was located.These results showed that the electrolytic brain lesion al tered the distribution pattern of proliferating cells in the LVZ and resulted in increase of the number of newborn neureons in the non-VZ areas of forebrain.The changes in number and distribution pattern of proliferating cells in LVZ and newbon neurons in forebrain may be dependent on site of lesion.Studies on the relationship between proliferating cells in LVZ and newly generated neurons in non-VZ aresa may help to understand the mechanism of brain plasticity and development.
