奥利司他逆转肺腺癌A549/DDP细胞株顺铂耐药及机制研究

本研究的目的是观察奥利司他(Orlistat)逆转肺腺癌耐顺铂细胞株A549/DDP的耐药作用并考察其可能的分子机制。应用CCK-8法检测并计算肺腺癌耐药细胞株A549/DDP对顺铂(cisplatin, DDP)的耐药指数(resistance index, RI),筛选奥利司他的最佳实验浓度并观察其对A549/DDP细胞的耐药逆转效果;倒置荧光显微镜下观察各实验组细胞的形态学变化及Hoechst 33258荧光染色后细胞凋亡形态学改变;采用流式细胞术检测不同药物处理对细胞凋亡率的影响;Western blotting检测各实验组细胞P-gp、FASN、PI3K、Akt、p-Akt、NF-κB、Bcl-2和cleved-caspase-3的表达情况。结果显示,奥利司他抑制了A549/DDP耐药细胞株的增殖,且具有浓度依赖性。奥利司他与DDP联用增加了耐药株A549/DDP细胞对DDP的敏感性,耐药逆转倍数为5.02。倒置荧光显微镜观察到联合用药组细胞出现了明显的凋亡形态学改变。流式细胞术结果表明,与对照组和单药组比较,两种药物联用后细胞的凋亡率显著提高(p0.05)。Western blotting检测结果显示,相较于其它3组,联合用药组中耐药相关蛋白P-gp表达下调(p0.01),PI3K、p-Akt、NF-κB表达水平均显著降低(p0.01),抗凋亡蛋白Bcl-2表达下降(p0.01),凋亡相关蛋白cleved-caspase-3表达上调(p0.01);虽然FASN的表达在单用奥利司他组及联合用药组中均降低,但这两组间的FASN表达水平并无统计学差异。以上结果表明,奥利司他能够提高A549/DDP耐药细胞株对化疗药物DDP的敏感性,具有逆转肺腺癌细胞耐药性的作用,其机制与降低耐药蛋白P-gp的表达、抑制PI3K/Akt/NF-κB信号通路以及其下游凋亡相关蛋白有关。

Fractal root system of Melica przewalskyi along different aspect in degraded grassland

Aims Fractal root system is phenotypic plasticity result of plant root architecture to respond to environmental heterogeneity, may reflect the growth strategy of plants to adapt to environmental conditions. Our objective was to explore the relationship between root fractal dimension and fractal abundance of fractal root system of Melica przewalskyi population in response to aspect variation in the northwest of China. Methods The study site was located in a degraded alpine grassland on the northern slope in Qilian Mountains, Gansu Province, China. Survey and sampling were carried out at 40 plots which were set up along four slope aspects transects with 20 m distance between adjacent plots. Handheld GPS was used to determine the elevation, longitude and latitude of each plot. ArcGIS was used to set up digital elevation model (DEM). Community traits were investigated and six individuals roots of M. przewalskyi were collected randomly at each plot. The samples were cleaned and divided into different organs, then scanning the root with the Win-RHIZO for measurements of fractal dimension and fractal abundance in laboratory, and their biomass were then measured after being dried at 80 °C in an oven. Important findings With the slope aspect turned from north to east, west, and south, the density, height and soil moisture content of the plant community displayed a pattern of initial decline, the height, density, root fractal abundance of M. przewalskyi increased and the root fractal dimension decreased. The root fractal dimension was negatively associated with the fractal abundance in all aspects, but the relationship varied along the slope aspects gradient; there was a highly significant negative correlation (p < 0.01) between the root fractal dimension and fractal abundance at north slope and south slope aspect, whereas the correlation only reached a significant level (p < 0.05) at the east slope aspect and west slope aspect; indicating that there is a trade-off between the root fractal dimension and fractal abundance. In addition, when the slope aspect changed from north to east, west and south, the standardized major axis (SMA) slope of the regression equation in the scaling relationships between root fractal dimension and fractal abundance increased (p < 0.05), indicating that the roots of M. przewalskyi at the droughty southern slope have less branch and more sparse in the same soil volume of root exploitation and utilization. Consequently, the resource allocation pattern on reasonable trade-off between root fractal dimension and fractal abundance in different slope aspect of M. przewalskyi, reflects the relationship between the income and the cost of construction of plant root architecture.

山小桔属新种及注释

<正> 山小桔属Glycosmis Corr.建立于1805年。属的异名不下10个之多.属下一些分类群,因各学者的理解不同而解说纷云。迩来经Oliver(1861),Kurz(1876), Pierre(1893), Tanaka(1928, 1930), Guillaumin(1911, 1946), Narayanaswamy(1941), Swingle (1911, 1948), Reece(1967), Brizicky(1962), Stone(近年通信)等学者对一些分类群的名称作了订正,但对个别种的概念及其划分界限也有争议。究其原因,大抵是(1)早期学者多持人种概念,如Oliver, Kurz, Hooker f.等则在种之下分立多个多层次的分类等     

对氟苯丙氨酸对体外培养恶性疟原虫蛋白质及核酸合成的抑制作用

氟苯丙氡酸常被认为是苯丙氨浚的拮抗剂,它对体外培养恶性疟原虫生长具有抑制作用,1×10~(-3)M可抑制虫裂殖体形成。用同步生长的培养疟原虫进行观察表明,2×10~(-3)M浓度下已可使疟原虫环状体难以发育成滋养体并开始死亡。2×10~(-3)M浓度下疟原虫蛋白质合成仍然进行,只是因为虫发育延缓而推迟,而虫丝核酸代谢却明显受到抑制。
