西方蜜蜂磁受体基因AmMagR的克隆及表达分析

本研究旨在克隆西方蜜蜂Apis mellifera磁受体基因AmMagR的序列,并分析该基因在工蜂不同日龄、不同组织中的表达特征,以期为该基因的功能研究提供理论基础。以西方蜜蜂工蜂为材料,提取其总RNA,通过RT-PCR技术克隆西方蜜蜂MagR基因的序列;利用多种生物信息学软件对其核酸及氨基酸序列分析;采用实时荧光定量PCR技术(qPCR)分析在西方蜜蜂工蜂不同日龄(1日龄、5日龄和21日龄)和不同组织(头部、胸部和腹部)中MagR基因的相对表达量。克隆到西方蜜蜂MagR基因,并命名为AmMagR(GenBank登录号:MH635411),其序列长度为748 bp,编码区长390 bp,编码130个氨基酸,其蛋白质分子量为14.142 kDa,理论等电点为9.06,无信号肽,无跨膜结构,且在第24～126位氨基酸之间得到一个结构域Fe-S_biosyn。系统发育树显示,西方蜜蜂AmMagR与小蜜蜂Apis florae AfIscA(IscA别称MagR)、中华蜜蜂Apis cerana cerana AcIscA基因聚成一支。荧光定量PCR结果表明,AmMagR基因在西方蜜蜂不同日龄的工蜂头部、胸部和腹部均有表达。5日龄工蜂的相对表达量最高,5日龄工蜂头部和胸部的AmMagR基因表达量显著高于1日龄(P0.05)和21日龄(P0.05),腹部AmMagR基因表达量显著高于21日龄(P0.05),但与1日龄的比较差异不显著(P0.05)。1日龄、5日龄和21日龄工蜂胸部的AmMagR基因表达量均显著高于头部和腹部(P0.05);1日龄工蜂头部AmMagR基因表达量均高于腹部(P0.05),但5日龄和21日龄工蜂AmMagR基因在头部与腹部的表达量无显著差异(P0.05)。明确了该基因在西方蜜蜂工蜂不同日龄和不同组织中的表达模式,并推测AmMagR可能参与了西方蜜蜂的定位、归巢过程。     

基于生物信息学分析KCNQ1OT1在胃癌中的作用

长非编码RNA KCNQ1OT1在多种肿瘤中高表达,但是在胃癌中的研究较少并且研究结果不一致,其在胃癌中具体的作用机制也缺乏相关研究。通过癌症基因组图谱(The Cancer Genome Atlas, TCGA)公共数据库分析发现:KCNQ1OT1在胃癌中普遍高表达,且高表达KCNQ1OT1的胃癌病人预后不良,它与胃癌多种临床因素密切相关,尤其是与TP53的突变有明显的相关性,而且其表达与免疫细胞浸润明显相关;KCNQ1OT1在胃癌肿瘤细胞系中普遍高表达,敲低后可抑制胃癌肿瘤细胞的增殖能力,共表达网络分析发现,其表达与肿瘤代谢有密切的相关性;谷氨酰胺酶1(glutaminase 1, GLS1)在胃癌中普遍高表达,与预后不良密切相关,KCNQ1OT1与GLS1的表达具有明显的相关性,敲低KCNQ1OT1的表达可抑制GLS1 mRNA的表达,而过表达GLS1可以部分逆转敲低KCNQ1OT1造成的胃癌细胞增殖能力的下降,因此推测KCNQ1OT1可能通过GLS1调控胃癌肿瘤细胞的生长。本研究通过大数据及实验验证了KCNQ1OT1在胃癌中的表达及功能,提示KCNQ1OT1有可能通过调控谷氨酰胺代谢来促进了胃癌的发生发展,这为分子靶向治疗胃癌的临床研究提供了新的靶点和思路。

桂西北典型喀斯特区生态服务价值的环境响应及其空间尺度特征

Study on ecosystem service values (ESVs) is the bridge of understanding ecosystem and economic decision-making. To investigate the response of ESVs to ambient environment and their spatial scales is an urgent work in the process of ecological restoration and sustainable development in southwest China. Based on the previous research results, the remote images, and weather data of 31 years (1975-2005), the response of ESVs to ambient environment and their spatial scales in a typical karst area of northwest Guangxi, China were evaluated with the method of empirical mode decomposition (EMD) in this paper. The results showed that ESVs had obvious variations with changes in elevation, rocky types and soil types, and had corresponding characteristics of spatial scales. The ESVs in middle and low elevation areas were higher, but they decreased due to human activities such as deforestation. The ESVs in peak-cluster depression areas were lower, and they would increase as influenced by policies such as returning farmland to forestland. The ESVs were influenced by rocky types, showing lower values but an increasing trend in the typical karst regions while higher values but a decreasing trend in non-karst regions. The average ESVs in the west part of the study region, which is not only the main nature reserve for rare wildlife species in Guangxi, but also one of the best preserved natural vegetation regions in China, were more than 15,000 RMB Yuan ha-1,. Comparatively, the ESVs were less than 10,000 Yuan ha-1 in the middle part of the region attributed to low vegetation coverage, serious peak-cluster depression and karst rocky desertification. After about 20 years, that is from 1985 to 2005, the ecosystem conditions had been improved and the ESVs had increased in the middle and eastern part of this study region. On the contrary, in most western part, which was dominated by subtropical evergreen broad-leaved forest, they had been worsened, and the balance values of ESVs were negative. As for the relationships of ESVs with rocky types and soil types, lime soil and red soil were the two main soil types that contributed to ESVs (The total contribution was above 60%, and it is 63.77%,64.37%,64.56%,64.91% respectively in the four years of 1985, 1990, 2000 and 2005.). The variance contribution of intrinsic mode function (IMF) and trend (R) showed that there were obvious special sales for ESVs in this study area, and the main spatial scales were about 2.7 km, 5.5 km, and 11.6 km. The variance contribution ratio was 12.29%, 11.26%, 11.49% respectively, and the trend (R) was high (17.74%). In conclusion, this study indicated that ecosystem conditions in the typical karst area were improved owing to the application of rocky desertification control policies, such as ecological migration and returning farmland to forestland. Besides, the main spatial scales of ESVs in the study area were the interactions of terrain, physiognomy, land use / land cover and human activities.

基因体外诱变的一种新方法

在PCR的过程中,采用5溴脱氧尿苷三磷酸（BrdUTP）部分取代脱氧胸苷三磷酸(dTTP)的方法,对克隆的野油菜黄单胞菌的α淀粉酶基因进行了体外诱变。结果表明,BrdUTP浓度越高,诱变越强;浓度越低,诱变越弱。当BrdUTP浓度为dTTP的0.1%时,可以得到最多的正诱变结果。用LBSP鉴别培养基初筛,然后用Yoo改良法测定酶活,仅一轮诱变就获得了其表达产物α-淀粉酶的酶活分别降低了5倍和提高了20倍的两个突变基因。再以后者为PCR模板进行第二轮诱变,从而筛选到了α-淀粉酶的酶活提高40倍的突变体。此诱变方法克服了用碱基类似物在体内诱变由于核酸复制酶等的校正作用而造成诱变无效的难题,并为基因的体外诱变找到了一条新途径。
