三七总皂苷生物合成与关键酶调控的研究进展

三七总皂苷(PNS)属于达玛烷型三萜皂苷,是中国传统珍贵药材三七的主要活性成分,三七总皂苷在中枢神经系统、心脑血管系统、血液系统、免疫系统以及抗纤维化、抗衰老、抗肿瘤等方面均具有较好的生理活性.三七总皂苷是以达玛烯二醇为前体,在P450单加氧酶和糖基转移酶催化下形成.另外,三七总皂苷与植物甾醇共享前期代谢途径.该文对近年来国内外有关三七总皂苷的生物合成途径及关键酶基因的最新研究进展进行综述,并探讨了代谢工程在三七总皂苷生物合成中的应用前景.     

连作对三七种子萌发及种苗生长的影响

为进一步明确三七的连作效应,以不同种植年限及不同空间分布的土壤为栽培基质,研究了连作对三七种子萌发及种苗生长的影响。结果表明:连作使三七种子萌发的最大速度增加,种子的发芽势变化不大,而发芽率、发芽指数和快速发芽期则呈明显降低或变短的趋势;与根区外土相比,根区土和根区下土使三七种子的发芽势、发芽率和发芽指数显著降低,对种子萌发的最大速度也有降低的作用;种植1年三七的土壤(1年土)对后茬三七种苗的生长并无明显障碍效应,2年土比3年土具有更强的抑制三七种苗生长的作用。连作对三七种子萌发及种苗生长均会产生明显的障碍效应,自毒作用可能只是造成三七连作障碍的原因之一。     

三七不同部位提取物抗凝血活性的研究

应用凝血酶原时间(PT)试验研究三七根、叶和花70％甲醇提取物的抗凝血活性,同时分析经大孔树脂分离得到的三七根和三七叶中所含不同皂苷成分的抗凝血活性,以阐明三七不同部位的抗凝血活性.结果显示:(1)在测试浓度为20 mg/mL时,三七根、叶和花甲醇提取物的PT值均显著高于空白和阳性对照,并且三七叶和花提取物的PT值显著高于根提取物.(2)三七根和叶中分离得到的20(S)-原人参二醇型皂苷(PDS)在量效关系实验中,其PT值均显著高于其他样品[包括20(S)-原人参三醇型皂苷(PTS)及三七根和叶总皂苷],而且在浓度低于25mg/mL时,差异更加显著.(3)相同浓度时,三七叶中的PDS(L-50,50％乙醇洗脱液)的PT值高于三七根中的PDS(R-50,50％乙醇洗脱液).研究表明,三七叶和花的延长凝血酶原时间的活性较根强,具有潜在的抗凝血活性.而其中三七叶PDS的作用最强,可能是潜在的抗凝血药物资源.     

三七表型变异及其对气候因子的响应

为了解三七(Panax notoginseng)表型变异的发生机理,结合地理信息系统和多元统计分析,研究了云南和广西的3年生栽培三七表型变异与气候因子的关系及性状间的内在联系。结果表明,三七的茎生物量、地下生物量和总生物量变异系数较大;地上生物量比和地下生物量比的变异系数较小。相关分析表明,表型变异受多种气候因子的共同影响,降水对三七表型变异的影响强于温度,不同季节降水量变化幅度是决定三七茎粗和叶面积的关键气候因子。三七地下生物量、总生物量随年均气温、年均降水量、最干月降水量的升高呈下降趋势,而随月均温变幅、昼夜温差与年温差比值的升高呈增加趋势。日照时数的增加使三七地上生物量比降低,并促进地下生物量和总生物量的积累。因此,随产地气候条件的变化,三七表现出较强的形态性状变异,可能是三七通过表型变异以适应异质生境。     

三七中三七素的分离纯化与结构分析

以三七(Panaxnotoginseng)为材料,经醇提、水提,得到三七素粗提物,用乙醇沉淀、正丁醇萃取去除皂苷类成分,经阳离子交换树脂柱层析,得到三七素.三七素经初步纯化含量从4.43%提高到13.98%.经过离子交换树脂柱分离后含量提高到96.46%.通过重结晶得到的无色板状晶体三七素的结构经过红外光谱,核磁共振光谱及质谱加以鉴定。     

二年生三七农艺和质量性状对环境光强的响应特征

为探究光照强度对二年生三七(Panax notoginseng)农艺性状和质量性状的影响,采用人工遮荫的方法,对三七植株的农艺性状、解剖结构、生物量和皂苷含量进行研究。结果表明,三七生物量积累以透光率为13.5%时最大;三七总皂苷含量在透光率9.2%时最高,透光率为13.5%时单株皂苷含量较大。当透光率降低,三七的叶片和茎部生物量增加;透光率增加时,三七通过增加叶片上表皮厚度、海绵组织厚度、栅栏组织厚度和叶片厚度来减少光捕获。因此,在透光率为9.2%~13.5%时对三七的生长、生物量及皂苷的积累有促进作用。     

三七(Panax notoginseng)根残体化感自毒效应研究

为研究三七(Panax notoginseng(Burk)F.H.Chen)采收过程中残留须根的化感自毒效应,采用土培和水培2种方法,按不同比例添加三七须根粉碎物,检测根残体作用下土培三七土壤中皂苷的动态变化及水培三七根部形态结构变化。结果显示,土培条件下,随着须根粉碎物处理时间的延长,土壤中皂苷成分种类增加、总皂苷含量减少。水培条件下,随着处理时间的延长,添加须根粉碎物处理后的三七根尖细胞壁增厚,细胞中出现菌丝体;随着处理时间及处理浓度的增加,细胞开始皱缩甚至破碎,细胞中无完整细胞器结构,三七根部细胞结构差异明显。研究表明三七采收过程中残留在土壤中的须根腐解释放的化学物质可能是导致三七自毒效应的因素之一。     

三七总皂苷原粉和超微粉的理化性质比较研究

通过对药用植物三七总皂苷原粉和超微粉的粉体粒度、电位、显微结构、红外光谱、溶解速度这几项理化性质的研究,判定两种粉体的优劣,为三七总皂苷超微粉的市场推广提供依据。实验结果表明,三七总皂苷原粉经纳米化处理后成为三七总皂苷超微粉,其化学结构没有发生变化,但显微结构从条状的晶体变为由纳米球紧密排列的不规则形态,其粉体平均粒径也从1 122.4 nm缩小到153.4 nm,完成了从微米到纳米的转变,其水溶液也变为稳定的胶体溶液。运用高效液相色谱法,在模拟人体环境的条件下,发现三七总皂苷超微粉比三七总皂苷原粉早1 min完全溶解。说明三七总皂苷超微粉比三七总皂苷原粉颗粒更小,更易溶于水,更易与人体吸收。     

Isolation of a ribonuclease from sanchi ginseng (Panax pseudoginseng) flowers distinct from other ginseng ribonucleases

A single-chained ribonuclease was isolated from the aqueous extract of sanchi ginseng (Panax pseudoginseng) flowers. It exhibited a molecular mass of 23 kDa, an N-terminal sequence with some similarity to other enzymes involved in RNA metabolism but different from known ribonucleases, and considerably higher activity toward poly U than poly C and only slight activity toward poly A and poly G. The purification protocol entailed ion exchange chromatography on diethylaminoethyl (DEAE)-cellulose, affinity chromatography on Affi-gel blue gel, ion exchange chromatography on carboxymethyl (CM)-cellulose, and gel filtration on Superdex 75. The ribonuclease was unadsorbed on DEAE-cellulose and adsorbed on Affi-gel blue gel and CM-cellulose. Maximal activity of the ribonuclease was attained at pH 7. On either side of this pH the enzyme activity underwent a drastic decline. The enzyme activity was at its highest at 50 degrees C and dropped to about 20% of the maximal activity when the temperature was decreased to 20 degrees C or elevated to 80 degrees C. The characteristics of sanchi ginseng flower ribonuclease were different from those of the ribonucleases previously purified from sanchi ginseng and Chinese ginseng roots including ribonuclease from Chinese ginseng flowers which are morphologically very similar to sanchi ginseng flowers.     

Radix/Rhizoma Notoginseng extract (Sanchitongtshu) for ischemic stroke: A randomized controlled study

Agents of sanchi have been widely used as a complementary medicine for stroke in China. Sanchitongshu is a new Chinese patent medicine extracted from sanchi which has stronger anti-platelet activity than other agents of sanchi. Our aim was to investigate the synergistic action of low dose of aspirin combined with sanchitongshu capsule in the treatment of patients with light and moderate ischemic stroke in acute and subacute stages.This was a multi-center, double-blinded, randomized controlled clinical trial conducted in four hospitals in China from July 2004 to 2006. 140 patients of ischemic stroke in anterior cerebral circulation within 30 days of onset were enrolled. Participants were assigned either to receive aspirin (50 mg per day) and sanchitongshu capsule (200 mg three times a day) or aspirin (50 mg per day) and placebo capsule.Low dose of aspirin combined with sanchitongshu capsule significantly ameliorated neurological deficit (increased score of ESS: t = −5.02, p < 0.0001) and activities of daily living (increased score of BI: t = −2.4, p = 0.0178) after treatment compared with aspirin alone. Adverse reaction which occurred equally in both arms, was light to moderate and disappeared without special treatment.Sanchitongshu capsule, as a complementary medicine to aspirin, was effective in improving outcomes after ischemic stroke. It was a safe drug in our trial.     

Isolation of a novel thermolabile heterodimeric ribonuclease with antifungal and antiproliferative activities from roots of the sanchi ginseng Panax notoginseng.

An isolation procedure, consisting of ion exchange chromatography on CM-Sepharose, affinity chromatography on Affi-gel blue gel, and fast protein liquid chromatography on Mono S, was utilized to purify a base-nonspecific, heterodimeric ribonuclease (RNase) with diverse activities from roots of the sanchi ginseng Panax notoginseng. The RNase is unique in that it consists of two different nonglycoprotein subunits with a molecular weight of 27 and 29 kDa, respectively. The latter subunit is characterized by an N-terminal sequence showing remarkable similarity to that of the bitter gourd RNase. The Panax notoginseng RNase demonstrates potent RNase and translation-inhibitory activities. In addition, it exhibits antiproliferative activity toward leukemia L1210 cells and antifungal activity against Physalospora piricola and Coprinus comatus. Its RNase activity is not heat-resistant, unlike most RNases which are thermostable.     

INFLUENCE OF A SLIGHT MODIFICATION OF THE COLLODION MEMBRANE ON THE SIGN OF THE ELECTRIFICATION OF WATER

1. It is shown that collodion membranes which have received one treatment with a 1 per cent gelatin solution show for a long time (if not permanently) afterwards a different osmotic behavior from collodion membranes not treated with gelatin. This difference shows itself only towards solutions of those electrolytes which have a tendency to induce a negative electrification of the water particles diffusing through the membrane, namely solutions of acids, acid salts, and of salts with trivalent and tetravalent cations; while the osmotic behavior of the two types of membranes towards solutions of salts and alkalies, which induce a positive electrification of the water particles diffusing through the membrane, is the same. 2. When we separate solutions of salts with trivalent cation, e.g. LaCl₃ or AlCl₃, from pure water by a collodion membrane treated with gelatin, water diffuses rapidly into the solution; while no water diffuses into the solution when the collodion membrane has received no gelatin treatment. 3. When we separate solutions of acid from pure water by a membrane previously treated with gelatin, negative osmosis occurs; i.e., practically no water can diffuse into the solution, while the molecules of solution and some water diffuse out. When we separate solutions of acid from pure water by collodion membranes not treated with gelatin, positive osmosis will occur; i.e., water will diffuse rapidly into the solution and the more rapidly the higher the valency of the anion. 4. These differences occur only in that range of concentrations of electrolytes inside of which the forces determining the rate of diffusion of water through the membrane are predominantly electrical; i.e., in concentrations from 0 to about M/16. For higher concentrations of the same electrolytes, where the forces determining the rate of diffusion are molecular, the osmotic behavior of the two types of membranes is essentially the same. 5. The differences in the osmotic behavior of the two types of membranes are not due to differences in the permeability of the membranes for solutes since it is shown that acids diffuse with the same rate through both kinds of membranes. 6. It is shown that the differences in the osmotic behavior of the two types of collodion membranes towards solutions of acids and of salts with trivalent cation are due to the fact that in the presence of these electrolytes water diffuses in the form of negatively charged particles through the membranes previously treated with gelatin, and in the form of positively charged particles through collodion membranes not treated with gelatin. 7. A treatment of the collodion membranes with casein, egg albumin, blood albumin, or edestin affects the behavior of the membrane towards salts with trivalent or tetravalent cations and towards acids in the same way as does a treatment with gelatin; while a treatment of the membranes with peptone prepared from egg albumin, with alanine, or with starch has no such effect.     

STABILITY OF SUSPENSIONS OF SOLID PARTICLES OF PROTEINS AND PROTECTIVE ACTION OF COLLOIDS

1. It is shown that the concentrations of different salts required to precipitate suspensions of gelatin-coated collodion particles in water are practically identical with the concentrations of the same salts required for the "salting out" of gelatin from aqueous solutions. Neither effect shows any relation to the electrical double layers surrounding the particles. 2. It is shown that at the isoelectric point of gelatin, suspensions of gelatin-coated collodion particles are not stable and it had been shown previously that gelatin is least soluble at the isoelectric point. The addition of salt increases both the solubility of gelatin in water as well as the stability of suspensions of gelatin-coated collodion particles in water, and both effects increase with the valency of one of the ions of the salt. 3. This latter effect is not due to any charges conferred on the gelatin particles by the salts, since the cataphoretic experiments show that salts like NaCl, Na₂SO₄, or CaCl₂, which at the isoelectric point of gelatin increase the solubility of gelatin as well as the stability of suspensions of gelatin-coated collodion particles, leave the particles practically uncharged in the concentrations in which the salts are efficient. 4. It follows from all these facts that the stability of suspensions of gelatin-coated particles in water depends on the solubility of gelatin in water; e.g., on the chemical affinity of certain groups of the gelatin molecule for water. 5. Though crystalline egg albumin is highly soluble in water, the stability of collodion particles coated with crystalline egg albumin does not depend upon the affinity of the albumin molecule for water, but depends practically alone on the electrical double layer surrounding each particle. As soon as the P.D. of this double layer falls below 13 millivolts, the suspension is no longer stable. 6. The critical potential for the stability of suspensions of collodion particles coated with genuine egg albumin is the same as that for particles of boiled (denatured) white of egg. Since through the process of heating, egg albumin loses its solubility in water, it is inferred that egg albumin undergoes the same change when it forms a film around a solid particle like collodion. 7. The influence of electrolytes on the stability of suspensions of collodion particles coated with casein or edestin was similar to that of collodion particles coated with egg albumin. The experiments are, however, complicated by the fact that near the isoelectric point CaCl₂ and even NaCl cause a suspension again at concentrations of about M/2 or 1 M, while still higher concentrations may cause a precipitation again. These latter effects have no connection with double layers, but belong probably in the category of solubility phenomena. 8. These experiments permit us to define more definitely the conditions for a general protective action of colloids. Protective colloids must be capable of forming a durable film on the surface of the suspended particles and the molecules constituting the film must have a higher attraction for the molecules of the solvent than for each other; in other words, they must possess true solubility. Only in this case can they prevent the precipitating action of low concentrations of electrolytes on particles which are kept in suspension solely by the high potentials of an electrical double layer. Thus gelatin films, in which the attraction of the molecules for water is preserved, have a general protective action, while crystalline egg albumin, casein, and edestin, which seem to lose their attraction for water when forming a film, have a protective action only under limited conditions stated in the paper.     

THE RATE OF DECLINE OF MILK SECRETION WITH THE ADVANCE OF THE PERIOD OF LACTATION

It is shown that the course of decline of milk secretion with the advance of the period of lactation may be expressed by the equation of a monomolecular chemical reaction; that is, the percentage decline of milk secretion with the advance of the stage of lactation is constant. This substantiates the idea that milk secretion is limited by a chemical reaction, and, in general, brings lactation into the class of processes the speed of which is determined by the concentration of a limiting substance.     

不同年龄蝾螈肢体再生速度的比较

1.根据外形与组织学的观察,比较了不同年龄的东方蝾螈(Cynops orientalis)肢体的再生速度。我们发现再生速度随年龄增加而降低。幼虫的再生速度最高,变态以后再生速度显著地下降,但幼体(一岁、尚未达性成熟)仍比成体(性成熟)快得多。2.幼虫肢体再生之一切组织学过程均比变态后的动物进行快。幼体和成体的前二再生时期(组织去分化期和再生芽基形成期)进行速度相差不大,它们之间的差别主要在于分化期中再生体之生长和分化速度。3.再生初期速度(即组织去分化速度)依赖于断切时肢体组织的分化程度。变态前后组织分化程度的巨大差异造成了幼虫和幼体、成体之间组织去分速度的巨大差别。幼虫肢体组织分化程度低,去分化比变态后进行快得多;幼体和成体肢体所有组织的分化均接近或已达到完成,形态上彼此没有显著差异,这可能解释为什么它们的去分速度都减慢而且彼此大约相等。4.实验期中幼体体长仍继续增加,而成体生长几已陷于停顿,这可能是它们的再生体生长速度的差别的原因。此外,也应考虑到性成熟过程中组织生理的变化可能对再生体的生长和分化发生影响。5.我们讨论了内分泌和再生的关系并认为变态和性成熟过程中内分泌变化所引起的组织生理和组织分化程度的差...

EVOLUTION OF THE NUMBER OF SEXES

In sexually reproducing isogamous organisms, gametes (or diploid cells in ciliates) are classified into two or more groups called sexes, and mating occurs only between cells of different sexes. We have studied the evolutionary stability of the number of sexes maintained in a population by examining population-genetic models. For models in which the diploid genome determines the sex of conjugal cells, a one-locus system with three alleles of pecking-order dominance is assumed. Unlike traditional bisexual models, the genetic dynamics then depend on a rule, called mating kinetics, which determines the proportion of matings between each pair of sexes for given proportions of cells of the three sexes. The evolutionary consequences greatly depend on the mating kinetics assumed. Of the four mating kinetics examined, two give a large advantage to rare sexes whose cells quickly find heterosexual partners, which implies an evolutionary increase in the number of sexes. In contrast, the other two mating kinetics, in which gametes wait for suitable mates without being eliminated from the gamete pool during this waiting period, produce neutrally stable dynamics with curves or a surface of equilibria. Then random drift or differential fitness among sexes would result in the loss of sex alleles until only two remain in the population. This suggests a turnover of sexes; a new sex invades and replaces resident sexes after temporary coexistence. Similar results are obtained in models with haploid sex-determination and with autogamy. These two processes, however, may help to maintain many sexes indirectly by preventing the accumulation of recessive lethal mutations on sex chromosomes. The relationship of these models to models of self-sterility factors in plants and sex factors in honeybees is discussed. To summarize, the number of sexes should increase when conjugal cells must find mates during a limited period of time, otherwise a two-sex system should evolve. We conclude that there may be more isogamous species with three or more sexes than are currently known.
