肝癌细胞与内皮细胞的粘附力学特性研究

采用细胞同步技术和微管吸吮技术,从细胞周期的角度研究不同细胞周期肝癌细胞(hepatocellularcarcinoma cells,HCC)与脐静脉内皮细胞(HUVEC)的粘附力学特性。结果表明,未同步化肝癌细胞各周期时相的细胞百分比为:G_0/G_1期,53.51％;G_2/M期,11.01％;S期,35.48％。采用胸腺嘧啶脱氧核苷、秋水仙碱顺序阻断和胸腺嘧啶脱氧核苷双阻断后释放培养的方法可分别获得G_1期和S期的肝癌细胞,其平均同步率分别为69.02％和96.50％。G_1期肝癌细胞与人脐静脉内皮细胞的粘附力比S期相应值明显降低(P<0.01),与未同步化肝癌细胞组比较也得到同样结果,而S期与未同步化肝癌细胞组的粘附力值无明显差别。肝癌细胞与脐静脉内皮细胞的粘附力随着粘附时间的变化而变化,在30～60min内迅速增长,60min之后维持在较稳定的水平,即300×10~(10)N左右。提示:在肝癌细胞与内皮细胞的粘附过程中,S期细胞可能起的作用更大;肝癌细胞和内皮细胞上粘附分子表达呈现时间效应,从而体现出粘附和去粘附的行为特征。     

Effects of MEK inhibitor U0126 on meiotic progression in mouse oocytes： microtuble organization, asymmetric division and metaphase Ⅱ arrest

In this study we used U0126, a potent and specific inhibitor of MEK, to study the roles of MEK/ERK/p90~(rsk) signaling pathway in the meiotic cell cycle of mouse oocytes. The phosphorylation of MAP kinase and p90~(rsk) in the oocytes treated with 1.5 μM U0126 was the same as that in oocytes cultured in drug-free medium. With 1.5 μM U0126 treatment, the spindles appeared normal as they formed in oocytes, but failed to maintain its structure. Instead, the spindle lost one pole or elongated extraordinarily. After further culture, some oocytes extruded gigantic polar bodies (>30 μm) that later divided into two small ones. Some oocytes underwent symmetric division and produced two equal-size daughter cells in which normal spindles formed. In oocytes with different division patterns, MAP kinase was normally phosphorylated. When the concentration of U0126 was increased to 15 mM, the phosphorylation of both MAPK and p90~(rsk) were inhibited, while symmetric division was decreased. When incubating in medium c     

植物花发育的分子机理研究进展

花的发育分为开花决定、花的发端和花器官的发育三个阶段。植物开花由多条途径诱导,包括光周期和光质诱导、春化作用、自主途径、赤霉素诱导、碳水化合物诱导等;植物体本身也存在着开花抑制途径。各种开花诱导途径能激活花分生组织特性基因,使茎端分生组织转变为花分生组织。花器官的发育由器官特性基因决定,这些基因的精确表达需要花分生组织特性基因的激活和多个正、负调节因子的调控;另有一类基因控制着花发育的对称性。花发育机理的研究具有重要的理论意义和广泛的应用前景。

不结球白菜细胞质雄性不育相关基因的克隆及表达

从不结球白菜CMS新种质中分离得到的一个cDNA-AFLP差异片段,采用RT-PCR和RACE技术成功克隆了一个α-微管基因的cDNA全长序列,命名为TUBA2(DDBJ登录号为AB445012)。序列分析结果表明,该基因全长1 709 bp,最大开放阅读框为1 353 bp,编码450个氨基酸序列,与已公布的α-微管基因有较高的同源性。系统进化树分析发现,该基因在不同植物间具有高度保守性。Southern杂交表明TUBA2属于不结球白菜多基因家族的一个单一克隆基因。实时定量RT-PCR检测表明,该基因在不育系中的表达量显著低于保持系,同时在不同组织和细胞减数分裂不同时期该基因的表达量也存在明显差异。

Actomyosin is Involved in the Organization of the Microtubule Preprophase Band in Arabidopsis Suspension Cultured Cells

The microtubule preprophase bands （PPBs） participate in the sequence of events to position cell plates in most plants. However, the mechanism of PPB formation remains to be clarified. In the present study, the organization of PPBs in Arabidopsis suspension cultured cells was investigated by confocal laser scanning microscopy combined with pharmacological treatments of reagents specific for the cytoskeleton elements. Double staining of F-actin and microtubules （MTs） showed that actin filaments were arranged randomly and no colocalization with cortical MTs was observed in the interphase cells. However, cortical actin filaments showed colocalization with MTs during the formation of PPBs. A broad actin band formed with the broad MT band in the initiation of PPB and narrowed down together with the MT band to form the PPB. Nevertheless, broad MT bands were formed but failed to narrow down in cells treated with the F-actin disruptor latrunculin A. In contrast, in the presence of the F-actin stabilizer phalloidin, PPB formation did not exhibit any abnormality. Therefore, the integrity, but not the dynamics, of the actin cytoskeleton is necessary for the formation of normal PPBs. Treatment with 2, 3-butanedine monoxime, a myosin inhibitor, also resulted in the formation of broad MT bands, indicating that actomyosin may be involved in the rearrangement of MTs to form the PPBs. Double staining of MTs and myosin revealed that myosin concentrated on the PPB region during PPB formation. It is suggested that the actin cytoskeleton at the PPB site may serve as a rack to transport cortical MTs by using myosin when the broad MT band narrows down to form the PPB.
