羊栖菜多糖诱导lovo细胞凋亡及其机理探讨

本课题研究羊栖菜多糖(Sargassum Fusiforme Polysaccharides,SFPS)诱导人大肠癌lovo细胞凋亡及凋亡过程中Caspase-3的变化及其意义。MTT法检测SFPS对大肠癌细胞增殖的抑制率;通过电镜、琼脂糖凝胶电泳、流式细胞术鉴定细胞凋亡;应用Western blot法测定Caspase-3酶原的变化; RT-PCR检测Caspase-3 mRNA表达。结果显示:SFPS作用lovo细胞24,36,48和72h的IC_(50)分别为375,355,178和60mg/L,表明对lovo细胞具有显著生长抑制作用。在电镜下,可见明显的细胞凋亡特征:细胞膜表面微绒毛减少、染色质固缩、边集,凋亡小体形成。在琼脂糖凝胶电泳中,药物浓度为5-300mg/L作用24h后,显示有凋亡细胞特有的DNA梯状条带;而500mg/L处理后梯状条带模糊,开始出现“涂片状”,表明在高药物浓度的作用下,细胞有坏死。流式细胞仪测得细胞凋亡率有剂量的依赖性;DNA直方图出现亚G1峰,但细胞周期时相的分布无明显改变。SFPS处理lovo细胞后,发现Caspase-3酶原蛋白表达降低,Caspase-3的mRNA高表达,并具有剂量和时间的依赖性。实验结果提示,SFPS在体外能够诱导lovo细胞凋亡,这可能是SFPS抑制肿瘤增殖的机制之一,而Caspase-3的活化参与了SFPS诱导lovo细胞凋亡的调控。     

增强p53、p21及抑制c-myc表达对MCF-7细胞增殖的协同抑制作用

为了探讨增强p53、p21基因表达水平和降低c-myc基因表达水平对乳腺癌细胞MCF-7增殖的协同抑制作用,以及这些基因对细胞产生效应时的相互关系,本研究中首先构建了正义的p53、p21和反义的c-myc3种真核细胞表达载体,并根据析因实验设计三种载体不同剂量组合。按照组合用质粒转染细胞,然后对转染细胞的增殖抑制率进行检测,并采用金正均Q值法、单因素方差分析中的LSD法、聚类分析法等统计学方法对结果进行统计分析。结果显示,不同量的p53、p21反义c-myc对MCF-7细胞的增殖均有抑制作用,抑制的程度各基因间存在差异。在各基因组合中,p21与反义c-myc,p53与反义c-myc联用具有协同作用,对MCF-7细胞的增殖产生更强的抑制,而p53与p21之间未显示出协同作用。对三基因协同结果进行聚类分析后,发现第一类组合协同作用最明显,第九类组合的抑制率最高。由此推测,作为抑癌基因的p53或CDK抑制基因p21高表达,同时原癌基因c-myc表达受到抑制,可相互协同显著增强对MCF-7细胞增殖的抑制作用。     

磁选育浸矿菌种新方法的研究--磁泳分离菌种

世界无处不有磁,磁场对整个世界产生着重大的影响。本文通过大量镜检工作,观察到从酸性矿坑水中初步分离培养得到的部分细菌对外加磁场均有微弱的趋磁性。基于菌种的这种特性,设计了磁泳装置用不同的磁场梯度分离细菌,磁泳分离的方法可以初步分离出近磁、远磁菌,这两个菌群的生理特性有着很大的差异,主要体现在其对亚铁氧化和对金属离子的浸出上,远磁菌亚铁氧化活性比近磁菌高将近50%,远磁菌对铜离子的浸出效果也比近磁菌好。近磁菌在强磁性矿物培养基中生长情况较好,而远磁菌在弱磁性矿物培养基中生长情况较好。而且,在近磁菌的纯培养菌体中分离到磁性颗粒。实验结果证明,采用磁泳用于分离体内含有磁性颗粒的细菌是可行并且有效的,这一分离技术和工艺的结合也将大大促进我国生物冶金的步伐。

钛合金和钴铬合金表面白色念珠菌粘附的研究

目的比较钛合金(Ti-6Al-4V)和钴铬合金(Chromium-Cobaltalloy)表面白色念珠菌粘附能力的大小,研究表面粗糙度与细菌粘附的关系。方法将不同表面粗糙度的钛合金和钴铬合金试件进行白色念珠菌体外粘附试验,采用菌落形成计数法测定试件表面的细菌粘附量。结果各钛合金试件组的细菌粘附量均少于相同表面粗糙度的钴铬合金试件组,两种金属试件表面的细菌粘附量均随表面粗糙度的增大而增加。结论钛合金较钴铬合金更能减少由白色念珠菌引起的义齿性口炎等并发症,同时修复体表面严格的研磨抛光也能有效减少这些并发症。     

The life history of Turnerella pennyi (Harv.) Schmitz

The life-history and phenology of T. pennyi, regarded as the only species of Turnerella in the north Atlantic Ocean, are described on the basis of culture, cytology and field investigations.

In Newfoundland and Labrador, heteromorphic phases occur: tetraspores from an encrusting tetrasporophyte resembling Cruoria arctica/rosea give rise to a similar perennial sterile phase from which the foliose T. pennyi phase arises directly. These foliose plants are dioecious gametophytes. The male gametophyte, reported for the first time, bears spreading spermatangial sori over most of its surface. Old cystocarpic plants may exhibit in situ germination of carpospores. Chromosome counts show that n = 18–20; 2n = 36–40.

The indications are that the life-history of the species is similar in other parts of its range, although the longevity of the foliose stage may vary with geographical location and depth. Regeneration of old loose-lying plants readily occurs.     

The role of biofouling development in the loss of seed mussels in aquaculture

The efficient seeding of juvenile mussels is critical to the sustainability and profitability of mussel aquaculture. However, seeding mussels is highly inefficient, with many juveniles being lost in the following few months. One possible cause of these losses could be the development of biofouling assemblages. Therefore, the relationships between biofouling accumulation and losses of juveniles were assessed. Losses of juvenile mussels were initially high (42.9–49.1% over approximately one to two weeks), with lower rates of loss over the following four to five months. Biofouling development followed a successional pattern beginning with colonisation by amphipods, subsequent establishment of macroalgae, and the formation of an assemblage dominated by mussels and sessile invertebrates. However, biofouling development did not play a major role in the loss of juveniles. Rather, large-scale losses of mussels occurred shortly after seeding when biofouling was scant, suggesting alternative causes of loss were in operation.

光系统II核心复合物的稳态荧光光谱(英文)

在 83K 和 160K 两个温度下,通过激发波长对荧光发射谱的影响研究了光系统II中核心复合物的荧光光谱特性。用不同波长的光激发,核心复合物的发射谱的最大发射峰值不变,用 480、489、495 和 507nm 的光分别激发核心复合物,其光谱最大峰值处的荧光强度随不同激发波长下β-胡萝卜素分子的吸收强度的增大而降低,在长波长区域光谱的变化依赖于首先被激发的色素分子。所以,激发波长的不同影响着核心复合物中能量传递的途径。通过高斯解析,分析出核心复合物中至少存在有 7组叶绿素a组分,它们是Chla660,Chla670,Chla680,Chla682,Chla684,Chla687和Chla690。     

Estimation of Cellobiohydrolase I Activity by Numerical Differentiation of Dynamic Ultraviolet Spectroscopy

1,4-β-D-glucan cellobiohydrolase I (CBH I),p-nitrophenyl β-D-cellobioside,p-nitrophenol andcellobiose show distinct ultraviolet spectra,allowing the design of an assay to track the dynamic process ofp-nitrophenyl β-D-cellobioside hydrolysis by CBH I.Based on the linear relationship between p-nitrophenolformation in the hydrolysate and its first derivative absorption Curve of AUC340_400_(nm)(area under the curve),a new sensitive assay for the determination of CBH I activity was developed.The dynamic parameters ofcatalysis reaction,such as Vm and k_(cat),can all be derived from this result.The influence of β-glucosidase andendoglucanase in crude enzyme sample on the assay was discussed in detail.This approach is useful foraccurate determination of the activity of CBHs.
