肥沃耕层构建对东北黑土区旱地土壤肥力和玉米产量的影响

有机物料还田是提高土壤肥力、改善土壤结构和增加作物产量的重要农艺措施之一。本研究通过分析有机物料深混还田构建肥沃耕层后土壤的有机质、速效养分含量和玉米产量,明确了黑土区不同土壤类型旱地土壤肥力指标和玉米产量对肥沃耕层构建方式的响应特征,以期为实现东北黑土区旱地保护性利用和农业可持续发展提供科学依据。采用小区试验与大区示范相结合的方式,在黑龙江省、吉林省和辽宁省选取9个生态类型区作为试验点,土壤类型包括黑土(中厚黑土和薄层黑土)、草甸土、黑钙土、白浆土、棕壤、暗棕壤和褐土。每个试验点均设置了玉米秸秆深混构建肥沃耕层(CF_Ⅰ)、秸秆配合有机肥深混构建肥沃耕层(CF_Ⅱ)和无有机物料还田(CK)3个处理。其中,CF_Ⅰ、CF_Ⅱ处理的小区试验和大区示范的秸秆还田量分别为10000 kg·hm^-2和全量还田,CF_Ⅱ处理的有机肥施用量为30000 t·hm^-2;CF_Ⅰ和CF_Ⅱ处理中有机物料的还田深度均为0~35 cm。结果表明: 不同土壤类型旱地的土壤肥力差异较大,不同土层表现为亚耕层土壤肥力小于耕层土壤,其中暗棕壤和白浆土尤为突出;棕壤、褐土耕层和亚耕层的土壤肥力均偏低;黑土和草甸土的质地比较黏重和犁底层较厚。在试验时间为两年以上的5个试验点中,与CK相比,CF_Ⅰ和CF_Ⅱ处理耕层的土壤有机质、碱解氮、速效磷和速效钾含量平均增加1.85 g·kg^-1、20.16 mg·kg^-1、1.56 mg·kg^-1和17.2 mg·kg^-1,亚耕层较耕层增加了2.09 g·kg^-1、12.06 mg·kg^-1、2.18 mg·kg^-1和3.84 mg·kg^-1。与CK相比,CF_Ⅰ处理显著增加了耕作层和亚耕层土壤有机质和速效磷含量,CF_Ⅱ处理显著增加了耕作层和亚耕层的全部土壤肥力指标,说明肥沃耕层构建是提高土壤肥力的重要途径,其中玉米秸秆配施有机肥是快速提升土壤肥力的有效方法。受不同地区水热条件和土壤类型等的影响,不同试验区的玉米产量差异较大;不同处理间差异显著,表现为CF_Ⅱ>CF_Ⅰ>CK,说明肥沃耕层构建方式在不同生态类型区均能有效提高玉米产量。采用玉米秸秆或者玉米秸秆配合有机肥深混的肥沃耕层构建方式能够同步培肥耕层和亚耕层土壤,提高玉米产量。不同生态类型区应根据土壤类型、有机物料来源等采取相应的肥沃耕层构建方式,建议在有机肥源充足的区域,优先采用秸秆配合有机肥深混构建肥沃耕层。     

E35 ablates acute leukemia stem and progenitor cells in vitro and in vivo

Leukemia stem cells (LSCs) have critical functions in acute leukemia (AL) pathogenesis, participating in its initiation and relapse. Thus, identifying new molecules to eradicate LSCs represents a high priority for AL management. This work identified E35, a novel Emodin derivative, which strongly inhibited growth and enhanced apoptosis of AL stem cell lines, and primary stem and progenitor cells from AL cases, while sparing normal hematopoietic cells. Furthermore, functional assays in cultured cells and animals suggested that E35 preferentially ablated primitive leukemia cell populations without impairing their normal counterparts. Moreover, molecular studies showed that E35 remarkably downregulated drug-resistant gene and dramatically inhibited the Akt/mammalian target of rapamycin signaling pathway. Notably, the in vivo anti-LSC activity of E35 was further confirmed in murine xenotransplantation models. Collectively, these findings indicate E35 constitutes a novel therapeutic candidate for AL, potentially targeting leukemia stem and progenitor cells.     

Effects of docosahexaenoic acid on in vitro amyloid beta peptide 25–35 fibrillation

Amyloid β peptide_25–35 (Aβ_25–35) encompasses one of the neurotoxic domains of full length Aβ_1–40/42, the major proteinaceous component of amyloid deposits in Alzheimer's disease (AD). We investigated the effect of docosahexaenoic acid (DHA, 22:6, n-3), an essential brain polyunsaturated fatty acid, on the in vitro fibrillation of Aβ_25–35 and found that it significantly reduced the degree of fibrillation, as shown by a decrease in the intensity of both the thioflavin T and green fluorescence in confocal microscopy. Transmission electron microscopy revealed that DHA-incubated samples were virtually devoid of structured fibrils but had an amorphous-like consistency, whereas the controls contained structured fibers of various widths and lengths. The in vitro fibrillation of Aβ_25–35 appeared to be pH-dependent, with the strongest effect seen at pH 5.0. DHA inhibited fibrillation at all pHs, with the strongest effect at pH 7.4. It also significantly decreased the levels of Aβ_25–35 oligomers. Nonreductive gradient gel electrophoresis revealed that the molecular size of the oligomers of Aβ_25–35 was 10 kDa (equivalent to decamers of Aβ_25–35) and that DHA dose-dependently reduced these decamers. These results suggest that DHA decreases the in vitro fibrillation of Aβ_25–35 by inhibiting the oligomeric amyloid species and, therefore, Aβ_25–35-related neurotoxicity or behavioral impairment could be restrained by DHA.     

Effect of the β-amyloid peptide Aβ<Subscript>25–35</Subscript> and fullerene C<Subscript>60</Subscript> on the activity of enzymes in erythrocytes

The effect of the β-amyloid peptide Aβ_25–35 and fullerene C₆₀ on the activity of the cytoplasmic enzymes lactate dehydrogenase (LDH) and glutathione peroxidase (GLP), and membrane-bound phosphofructokinase (PFK) and Na⁺,K⁺-ATPase in human erythrocytes has been studied. When used in combination, the cytotoxins decrease the activity of LDH and PFK in a nonadditive manner; in this case, Aβ_25–35 protects PFK against the inhibitory effect of C₆₀. The activity of LDH, GLP, and PFK decreases within the first 2–20 min of incubation of erythrocytes with Aβ_25–35 in the absence of glucose. The addition of glucose sharply decreases the inhibitory action of Aβ_25–35 on LDH and GLP but does not affect the fourfold decrease in activity of PFK; the activity of membrane-bound Na⁺,K⁺-ATPase does not depend on the presence of glucose. Possible mechanisms of interaction of Aβ_25–35 and fullerene C₆₀ with the erythrocyte membrane and enzymes are discussed.     

非洲猪瘟病毒p35蛋白作为诊断抗原的抗原性比较

为了筛选出酶联免疫吸附测定 (Enzyme linked immunosorbent assay,ELISA) 反应性最佳的非洲猪瘟病毒 (African swine fever virus,ASFV) 诊断抗原,通过建立ELISA方法,以杆状病毒昆虫细胞表达系统表达的ASFV p30蛋白诊断抗原为参照,首次探讨原核表达系统表达的ASFV p35蛋白作为诊断抗原的抗原性和潜力。免疫印迹和免疫荧光结果表明,获得了40 kDa的重组p35蛋白和30 kDa的p30蛋白,两种蛋白与ASFV阳性血清均具有较好的免疫反应原性。采用重组p30和p35蛋白作为诊断抗原分别建立ELISA方法,并验证其敏感性、稳定性以及与进口试剂盒的符合率。结果显示,尽管p35-ELISA方法的检测敏感性稍低于p30-ELISA方法,但其敏感性仍可达95.8%,且p35-ELISA方法和p30-ELISA方法的批内和批间变异系数均小于10%。p35-ELISA方法与进口试剂盒比较,符合率达97.2%。结果表明建立的p35-ELISA方法敏感性高且稳定性好,可应用于ASFV感染血清的检测。     

异槲皮苷对Aβ25-35导致的PC12细胞损伤的保护作用及机制研究

探讨异槲皮苷对β-淀粉样蛋白(Aβ25-35)导致的PC12细胞氧化损伤的保护作用。首先通过分子对接技术分析异槲皮苷与AMPK的结合情况。采用Aβ25-35(20μmol/L)损伤PC12细胞建立细胞氧化损伤模型,采用甲基噻唑蓝(MTT)法检测细胞活力,通过试剂盒检测乳酸脱氢酶(LDH)漏出量、活性氧(ROS)含量、丙二醛(MDA)含量以及抗氧化物酶超氧化物歧化酶(SOD)和谷胱甘肽过氧化物酶(GSH-Px)活力,采用Western blot法检测磷酸化腺苷酸活化蛋白激酶(p-AMPK)、过氧化物增殖体受体辅激活子-1α(PGC-1α)、沉默信息调节因子3(Sirt3)和异柠檬酸脱氢酶(IDH2)的蛋白表达。结果显示异槲皮苷与AMPK的结合力为-9.48 kJ/mol,提示AMPK可能为异槲皮苷的潜在作用靶点。异槲皮苷(1、10和100μmol/L)能够浓度依赖性的显著抑制Aβ25-35导致的PC12细胞死亡,减少ROS和MDA含量,升高SOD和GSH-Px活力。异槲皮苷抑制Aβ25-35导致的细胞氧化损伤并上调p-AMPK、PGC-1α、Sirt3和IDH2的蛋白表达。以上结果表明异槲皮苷可能通过调控AMPK/Sirt3信号通路发挥抗Aβ25-35导致的PC12细胞氧化损伤作用。     

Regulation of Gap Junction Coupling Through the Neuronal Connexin Cx35 by Nitric Oxide and cGMP

Gap-junctional coupling among neurons is subject to regulation by a number of neurotransmitters including nitric oxide. We studied the mechanisms by which NO regulates coupling in cells expressing Cx35, a connexin expressed in neurons throughout the central nervous system. NO donors caused potent uncoupling of HeLa cells stably transfected with Cx35. This effect was mimicked by Bay 21-4272, an activator of guanylyl cyclase. A pharmacological analysis indicated that NO-induced uncoupling involved both PKG-dependent and PKG-independent pathways. PKA was involved in both pathways, suggesting that PKG-dependent uncoupling may be indirect. In vitro, PKG phosphorylated Cx35 at three sites: Ser110, Ser276, and Ser289. A mutational analysis indicated that phosphorylation on Ser110 and Ser276, sites previously shown also to be phosphorylated by PKA, had a significant influence on regulation. Ser289 phosphorylation had very limited effects. We conclude that NO can regulate coupling through Cx35 and that regulation is indirect in HeLa cells.     

Rab35: GEFs,GAPs and Effectors

Rabs are the largest family of small GTPases and are master regulators of membrane trafficking. Following activation by guanine‐nucleotide exchange factors (GEFs), each Rab binds a specific set of effector proteins that mediate the various downstream functions of that Rab. Then, with the help of GTPase‐activating proteins, the Rab converts GTP to GDP, terminating its function. There are over 60 Rabs in humans and only a subset has been analyzed in any detail. Recently, Rab35 has emerged as a key regulator of cargo recycling at endosomes, with an additional role in regulation of the actin cytoskeleton. Here, we will focus on the regulation of Rab35 activity by the connecdenn/DENND1 family of GEFs and the TBC1D10/EPI64 family of GTPase‐activating proteins. We will describe how analysis of these proteins, as well as a plethora of Rab35 effectors has provided insights into Rab35 function. Finally, we will describe how Rab35 provides a novel link between the Rab and Arf family of GTPases with implications for tumor formation and invasiveness .      

姜黄素诱导人胰腺癌PANC-1细胞凋亡的机制研究

目的：胰腺癌恶性程度高、进展快、预后差,姜黄素对于抑制恶性肿瘤的发生和进程具有广泛的生物学效应。但姜黄素能否诱导人胰腺癌细胞凋亡,其具体作用机制如何？目前仍无报道。本研究拟观察姜黄素对人胰腺癌PANC．1细胞凋亡的影响,探讨姜黄素诱导PANC．1细胞凋亡的机制。方法：不同浓度姜黄素处理人胰腺癌PANC-1细胞,流式细胞仪检测PANC-1细胞凋亡率,并分析Caspase-9和Caspase-3活性的变化,同时通过RT—PCR和Westemblot分析PANC-1细胞中P53表达的变化。结果：PANC-1细胞经不同浓度的姜黄素处理后,可以显著诱导细胞凋亡,并呈现一定的剂量依赖性,提示姜黄素具有一定抗肿瘤活性。姜黄素能够同时增加Caspase-9和Caspase-3的活性,并呈现一定的剂量依赖性,提示姜黄素可能通过Caspase-9和Caspase-3途径来诱导PANC．1细胞凋亡的发生。RT—PCR和westernblot结果显示,姜黄素可以显著增加PANC-1细胞中P53蛋白表达水平。结论：姜黄素可以显著诱导PANC-1细胞凋亡的发生,提高Caspase-9和Caspase-3的活性,同时增加的P53表达,并呈现一定的剂量依赖性,提示姜黄素诱导PANC-1细胞凋亡的过程可能与增加细胞中Caspase-9,Caspase-3以及P53的表达有关。本研究探讨了姜黄素诱导PANC-1细胞凋亡的分子机制,为姜黄素的进一步应用提供了新的思路和理论支持,在人胰腺癌的临床治疗中具有一定的潜在应用价值。
