植物激素和接种方式对广西金线莲壮苗生根的影响

该文以广西野生金线莲无菌播种离体茎段为材料,采用单因素对比试验,研究了植物激素(NAA、IBA、6-BA、GA_3、KT、ZT、TDZ、2-IP)以及接种方式(竖直接种和水平接种)对壮苗生根培养的影响。结果表明:与对照相比,生长素有利于壮苗生根,NAA的效果优于IBA;细胞分裂素对壮苗生根的效果依次为6-BATDZKT=ZT 2-IPCK,其中6-BA诱导平均株高8.4 cm,3.6条根,茎粗为2.84 mm,植株生长健壮,诱导效果最好;赤霉素GA_3诱导出的植株高且直,但植株细弱,且抑制根系生长,不利于壮苗生根培养;在激素组合6-BA 0.5 mg·L~(-1)、NAA1.0 mg·L~(-1)处理中,组培苗生长健壮且根数量较多,效果最佳;水平接种能诱导出更多的根系,且便于接种操作,可以节省接种时间。因此,确定广西金线莲最适宜的壮苗生根培养基配方为1/2MS+6-BA 0.5 mg·L~(-1)+NAA 1.0 mg·L~(-1)+香蕉汁100 g·L~(-1)+AC(活性炭) 1.0 g·L~(-1)+蔗糖20 g·L~(-1),最佳接种方式为水平接种。

All‐trans retinoic acid exposure increases connexin 43 expression in cumulus cells and improves embryo development in bovine oocytes

In developing follicles, cellular coupling within cumulus–oocyte complexes (COCs) creates a functional syncytium allowing for the passage of small molecules. In many species, intercellular coupling between granulosa cells results from the expression of connexin 43 (CX43 or Gja1) and the formation of gap junctional plaques. Previously, our lab has shown that oocytes with a higher developmental potential had higher CX43 expression in their cumulus cells compared with developmentally incompetent oocytes. All‐trans retinoic acid (ATRA) has been shown to increase CX43 expression in several different cell types. In this study we investigated the effect of ATRA treatment, during maturation, on CX43 expression and localization in cumulus cells and the developmental competence of bovine oocytes. COCs and granulosa cells exposed to ATRA during maturation had significantly higher CX43 expression and increased gap junctional coupling, respectively. In addition, there was a significant increase in the maturation, cleavage, and blastocyst rates in ATRA treated COCs. Data from these studies suggest that not only can CX43 be used as a biomarker for oocyte health, it can also potentially be manipulated using ATRA to increase the number of oocytes achieving developmental competence.     

In vivo monitoring blood‐brain barrier permeability using spectral imaging through optical clearing skull window

The blood‐brain barrier (BBB) plays a key role in the health of the central nervous system. Opening the BBB is very important for drug delivery to brain tissues to enhance the therapeutic effect on brain diseases. It is necessary to in vivo monitor the BBB permeability for assessing drug release with high resolution; however, an effective method is lacking. In this work, we developed a new method that combined spectral imaging with an optical clearing skull window to in vivo dynamically monitor BBB opening caused by 5‐aminolevulinic acid (5‐ALA)‐mediated photodynamic therapy (PDT), in which the Evans blue dye (EBd) acted as an indicator of the BBB permeability. Using this method, we effectively monitored the cerebrovascular EBd leakage process. Moreover, the analysis of changes in the vascular and extravascular EBd concentrations demonstrated that the PDT‐induced BBB opening exhibited spatiotemporal differences in the cortex. This spectral imaging method based on the optical clearing skull window provides a low‐cost and simply operated tool for in vivo monitoring BBB opening process. This has a high potential for the visualization of drug delivery to the central nervous system. Thus, it is of tremendous significance in brain disease therapy.
