Identification of salt-stress responsive genes in rice (Oryza sativa L.) by cDNA array

To identify salt stress-responsive genes, we constructed a cDNA library with the salt-tolerant rice cultivar, Lansheng. About 15000 plasmids were extracted and dotted on filters with Biomeck 2000 HDRT system or by hand. Thirty genes were identified to display altered expression levels responding to 150 mmol/L NaCl. Among them eighteen genes were up-regulated and the remainders down-regulated. Twenty-seven genes have their homologous genes in Gen-Bank Databases. The expression of twelve genes was studied by Northern analysis. Based on the functions, these genes can be classified into five categories, including photosynthesis-related gene, transport-related gene, metabolism-related gene, stress- or resistance-related gene and the others with various functions. The results showed that salt stress influenced many aspects of rice growth. Some of these genes may play important roles in plant salt tolerance.

通过cDNA微阵列鉴定水稻(Oryza sativa L.) 盐胁迫应答基因

利用水稻耐盐品种兰胜构建了一个高质量的cDNA文库以鉴定水稻盐胁迫应答基因, 从cDNA文库中提取约15000个质粒, 并用Biomek 2000 高密度点阵系统或手工操作, 将这些质粒点于尼龙膜上. 通过这种方法鉴定了30个盐应答基因, 对其中的12个基因通过Northern杂交进行表达分析, 确证了cDNA微阵列的杂交结果. 30个基因中, 18个基因受盐诱导, 另外12个基因受盐抑制, 其中27个在GenBank数据库中有同源序列. 根据功能, 这些基因大致可以分为5类：光合作用相关基因、物质运输相关基因、代谢相关基因、耐逆相关基因以及其他未分类的基因. 研究结果表明, 盐胁迫影响了植物生长发育的多个方面, 其中有些基因可能在植物体的耐盐过程中具有重要作用.     

沙漠干热环境腹部肠管枪弹伤后血清内毒素与肝脏环氧化酶-2的表达研究

目的:探讨沙漠干热环境下腹部肠管枪弹伤后血清内毒素和肝脏环氧化酶-2(COX-2)表达之间的关系.方法:沙漠干热环境组和常温环境组健康长白仔猪各42头随机等分为对照组和伤后1h、2h、4h、8h、12h和24h组,实验组建立腹部枪弹伤肠管穿透模型后,用显色基质鲎试剂法检测各组血清内毒素水平,免疫组化图像分析法测定各组肝组织COX-2的表达.结果:沙漠干热环境和常温环境下,伤后各实验组血清内毒素水平和肝脏COX-2表达水平均高于对照组(P＜0.01),两种环境下内毒素均在8h组达到高峰,分别为(0.971±0.04)EU/ml、(0.627±0.08)EU/ml,沙漠干热环境组内毒素峰值明显高于常温环境组(P＜0.01);除对照组和1h组外,其余各时间组的干热环境内毒素值明显高于常温环境(P＜0.01).在沙漠干热环境组,各实验组肝脏COX-2表达水平明显高于相对应的常温组(P＜0.01),肝脏COX-2的表达水平在沙漠干热环境组和常温纽中的第1个高峰值均出现在伤后2h组,沙漠干热环境组的第2个高峰值出现在伤后8h组,而常温环境组的第2个高峰出现在伤后12h组;血清内毒素水平和肝脏COX-2表达水平在沙漠干热环境组和常温环境组均具有相关性,相关系数分别为0.928和0.847,(P＜0.01).结论:沙漠干热环境下腹部肠管枪弹伤后血清内毒素和肝脏COX-2表达较常温组明显提高,且二者密切相关,提示在沙漠干热环境下腹部肠管枪弹伤后血清内毒素和COX-2在继发性肝损害过程中可能起重要作用.     

烟草乙烯受体类似物NTHK2全长基因的克隆及其激酶结构域生化特性

应用5＇-RACE方法克隆到烟草NTHK2的全长cDNA.其全长cDNA共有3 216bp,其中5'非编码区为509bp,3＇非编码区为427bp,编码区为2 280bp,编码产物为760个氨基酸.NTHK2氨基酸序列与植物中的许多杂合型的两组分乙烯受体基因有较高的同源性,具有推测的组氨酸激酶结构域和接受域;但是,在激酶结构域中没有保守的组氨酸,而是被一个天冬氨酸残基所替代.为了研究其生化特性,在酵母中以融合蛋白的形式表达了激酶结构域.体外激酶分析表明,当有Mg2+存在的情况下NTHK2能够自我磷酸化.进一步的研究应阐明NTHK2在植物体内是否能够作为乙烯受体,参与乙烯的信号传导过程.
