The inhibitory effect of transthyretin gene on growth of human hepatoma cells

Transthyretin(TTR) gene was highly expressed in normal liver and it has been found to be deleted in part of DNA samples from human hepatic cancer.Its mRNA expression was suppressed in most hepatoma samples.In order to study the biological effect of TTR gene on the growth of hepatoma cells,a recombinant vector containing TTR cDNA was constructed by pCMV,then it was transfected into hepatoma cell lines SMMC-7721 and Q3.It has been demonstrated that the inhibition of growth rate of TTR cDNA transfected hepatoma cells was about 50% in strength compared with that of the control.This inhibition was further enhanced when the transfected hepatoma cells were treated with all-trans retinoic acid.Hepatoma cells of cell lines PLC/PRF/5,SMMC-7721 and Q3 as well as hepatoma cells SMMC-7721 transfected with pCMV or pCMV-TTR were analyzed for TTR expression by Northern hybridization.The low level of TTR expression was found in both hepatoma cell lines and in SMMC-7721 cells transfected with pCMV alone.However,a remarkable TTR mRNA expression was observed in hepatoma SMMV-7721 cells transfected with pCMV-TTR.It seems possible that TTR gene might be a candidate of cancer suppressor gene for human hepatic cancer.     

乙二胺四醋酸二钠对蝮蛇抗栓酶毒性的影响

对照组小鼠腹腔注射蝮蛇抗栓酶０．１ｕ／１０ｇ,实验组同时再注射０．５％ＥＤＴＡ２Ｎａ溶液０．２５ｍｌ／１０ｇ,结果表明,死亡率各组间无差别（Ｐ＞０．０５）,但对照组动物脏器有出血现象,而实验组则无出血。     

南极长城站微生物区系调查

1992～1993年的夏季,对南极中国长城站的陆地进行了微生物区系的现场调查。先后采集各种类型上样多个。其中对有生态意义的25个样进行了不同类型微生物的分离和计数;中温培养下每克湿土壤菌量为10²～10⁶,用马丁培养基对真菌进行分离培养和计数,每克湿土含菌量为10²～10⁴;0℃下分离计数,发现低温下微生物的数量较中温的多,每克湿土壤含菌为10³～10⁶。对该地区烃氧化菌进行了特别调查,以长城站为中心东西宽0．4Km,南北长1Km的范围内烃氧化菌发育最为活跃,但距长城站距离越远,烃氧化菌数量越少。     

气相色谱法测定梭菌酸性代谢产物

本文报告用气相色谱法对８株梭菌代谢产物中的挥发性及非挥发性有机酸进行测定。采用程序升温方法,样品中各种成份分离较好,所需样品量少,操作方便,样品分析结果与标准菌株及文献对照比较,为梭菌的分类鉴定提供了实验依据。     

对双歧杆菌DM9227菌株的实验研究IV对双歧杆菌DM9227菌株生物学特性的研究

本文对双歧杆菌ＤＭ９２２７菌株进行了形态学、生化反应特性、代谢酸分析及抗生素敏感性的研究。综合有关试验结果,初步认为该菌属婴儿双歧杆菌（Ｂｉｆｉｄｏｂａｃｔｅｒｉｕｍｉｎｆａｎｔｉｓ）。     

双歧杆菌的分离驯化与鉴定

本文报道了从重庆市正常人群肠道中筛选出的５株双歧杆菌经厌氧→微氧→有氧的方式进行了数百次传代驯化,最后选送３株送国家认可的法定菌种鉴定单位认可为：８６３２１两歧杆菌、８６０４３青春双歧杆菌和８６２７４婴儿双歧菌。它的成功为我们进一步开发系列双歧产品奠定了很好基础。     

地衣芽孢杆菌胞外耐高温α-淀粉酶的研究

地衣芽孢杆菌(Bacillus Licheniformis)突变株7902培养液离心后的上清液,于75℃至100℃作用．Α-淀粉酶活力基本上随温度提高呈直线上升。酶液在不加Ca2+和无任何保护剂条件下于90℃处理60分钟,95℃处理20分钟,酶活力均能保留90％以上。培养液经硫酸铵分段沉淀、Sephadex G-50疑胶过滤和制备垂直平板电泳纯化,经PAGE鉴定为一条带,纯酶比活提高49.3倍,淀粉酶法区带定位鉴定证明提纯样品是α-淀粉酶。SDS凝胶电泳测定分子量为68000。金属离子Ca242+、Li+、Mg2+等对酶有激活作用,而AI3+、Ag+、Cu2+、Mn2+和Fe2+等有一定的抑制作用。
