束缚应激动物血清中免疫抑制因子产生部位的初步研究

大鼠或小鼠经束缚应激10h后,血清中出现一类淋巴细胞转化抑制因子。本实验在上述工作的基础上对抑制因子的产生部位做了初步研究,结果表明,应激后脑脊液中不存在淋巴细胞转化抑制因子,说明这种因子不是由中枢神经系统产生。大剂量辐射与环磷酰胺均能降低脾脏有核细胞总数,但前者能降低抑制因子的产生,后者无作用,提示淋巴细胞总数的减少对血清抑制因子的产生可能不起决定性作用。细胞分类的结果表明,辐射能明显降低T、B细胞比例,而环磷酰胺反而使其比例有上升趋势。因而提示抑制因子的产生可能与T、B淋巴细胞的比例有关。当T细胞比例减少时,抑制因子的产生受到阻碍。裸鼠为先天性T细胞功能缺失动物,同样的应激条件抑制因子的产生受到明显抑制。这也说明抑制因子的产生可能与T细胞的作用有关。     

ONTOGENY,HISTOCHEMISTRY AND FINE STRUCTURE OF CELLULAR INCLUSIONS IN VEGETATIVE CELLS OF ANTITHAMNION DEFECTUM (CERAMIACEAE,RHODOPHYTA)1

The ultrastructure and histochemistry of developing and mature cell inclusions in vegetative cells of Antithamnion defectum Kylin were examined. Those studied were chloroplast inclusions, cytoplasmic crystals and spherical bodies within the vacuole. Chloroplasts of mature vegetative cells contain an interthylakoidal, apparently noncrystalline deposit of undetermined chemical identity. The bodies are parallel to the long axis of the plastid, are square (0.13 μm) in cross-section, and up to 3 μm long. Spherical vacuolar bodies (0.5–1.5 μum diam) are formed during early stages of vacuole formation by accumulation of protein deposits in swelling endoplasmic reticulum (ER) cisternae. Swelling of smooth ER contiguous to the ER containing the deposits results in the vacuole enclosing the spherical bodies. In mature cells, vesicles appear to be secreted into the preformed vacuole. Cytoplasmic proteinaceous crystalloids develop without a bounding membrane and may serve as protein reserves.     

TOXICITY OF ALLYL ESTERS IN INSECT CELL LINES AND IN SPODOPTERA LITTORALIS LARVAE

We investigated the effects of five allyl esters, two aromatic (allyl cinnamate and allyl 2‐furoate) and three aliphatic (allyl hexanoate, allyl heptanoate, and allyl octanoate) in established insect cell lines derived from different species and tissues. We studied embryonic cells of the fruit fly Drosophila melanogaster (S2) (Diptera) and the beet armyworm Spodoptera exigua (Se4) (Lepidoptera), fat body cells of the Colorado potato beetle Leptinotarsa decemlineata (CPB) (Coleoptera), ovarian cells of the silkmoth Bombyx mori (Bm5), and midgut cells of the spruce budworm Choristoneura fumiferana (CF203) (Lepidoptera). Cytotoxicity was determined with use of MTT [3‐(4,5‐dimethylthiazol‐2‐yl)‐2,5‐diphenyl tetrazolium bromide] and trypan blue. In addition, we tested the entomotoxic action of allyl cinnamate against the cotton leafworm Spodoptera littoralis .The median (50%) cytotoxic concentrations (EC₅₀s) of the five allyl esters in the MTT bioassays ranged between 0.25 and 27 mM with significant differences among allyl esters (P = 0.0012), cell lines (P < 0.0001), and the allyl ester–cell line interaction (P < 0.0001). Allyl cinnamate was the most active product, and CF203 the most sensitive cell line. In the trypan blue bioassays, cytotoxicity was produced rapidly and followed the same trend observed in the MTT bioassay. In first instars of S. littoralis, allyl cinnamate killed all larvae at 0.25% in the diet after 1 day, while this happened in third instars after 5 days. The LC₅₀ in first instars was 0.08%. In addition, larval weight gain was reduced (P < 0.05) after 1 day of feeding on diet with 0.05%. In conclusion, the data provide evidence of the significant but differential cytotoxicity among allyl esters in insect cells of different species and tissues. Midgut cells show high sensitivity, indicating the insect midgut as a primary target tissue. Allyl cinnamate caused rapid toxic effects in S. littoralis larvae at low concentrations, suggesting further potential for use in pest control.     

INDUCTION OF CELLULAR PROCESSES CONTAINING COLLAGENASE AND RETINOID BY INTEGRIN-BINDING TO INTERSTITIAL COLLAGEN IN HEPATIC STELLATE CELL CULTURE

Cultered hepatic stellate cells were induced to elongate long, multipolar cellular processes by interstitial collagen gel used as a substratum, as compared to flattened or round cell shapes on polystyrene surface or on Matrigel containing the basement membrane components, respectively. The process induction was inhibited by several reagents as follows: (1) anti-integrin α2 antibody; (2) an oligopeptide, DGEA, an integrin-binding sequence in type I collagen molecule; (3) wortmannin, a phosphatidylinositol 3-kinase inhibitor. Protein tyrosine phosphorylation was enhanced throughout cells including cellular processes by culturing on type I collagen gel. Dual fluorescence staining showed that the core of the processes contained microtubules, whereas the periphery of the processes comprised fibrillar actin. Thus, the process extension was found to depend on integrin-binding to type I collagen fibres, followed by signal transduction and cytoskeleton assembly. The cellular processes included interstitial collagenase and vitamin A-containing lipid droplets. The lipid droplets and vitamin A-autofluorescence were increased by retinyl acetate addition to the culture medium, suggesting an important role of processes in hepatic stellate cell function.

UV照射与非UV照射FITC致敏小鼠淋巴结树突状细胞的光电镜免疫组织化学特性

本工作观察了小鼠淋巴结树突状细胞（ＤＣ）的光、电镜免疫组织化学特性,并探讨其功能。从ＦＩＴＩＣ致敏小鼠淋巴结分离的ＤＣ在体外可刺激ＦＩＴＣ特异性Ｔ－细胞株增殖。注射经ＵＶ照射、ＦＩＴＣ致敏的小鼠淋巴结细胞（ＤＬＮＣ）至受体小鼠,可导致该小鼠的免疫耐受;这些细胞在体外仍可促进ＦＩＴＣ特异性Ｔ－细胞株增殖,但明显弱于非ＵＶ照射小鼠ＤＬＮＣ的作用。免疫光镜下显示ＵＶ－ＦＩＴＣ致敏小鼠淋巴结的ＦＩＴＣ阳性ＤＣ与非ＵＶ照射ＦＩＴＣ致敏组一样也表达了ＭＡＣ－１、２、３和Ｆ４／８０等巨噬细胞标志,唯其ＦＩＴＣ阳性细胞率明显高于非照射ＦＩＴＣ致敏组动物。免疫电镜下显示这些细胞呈Ｉａ阳性和ＦＩＴＣ阳性,ＦＩＴＣ主要定位于线粒体和溶酶体结构等处。研究表明这些与ＦＩＴＣ致敏小鼠ＤＬＮＣ有关的细胞活性的差异与Ｉａ阳性ＤＣ数量减少、表面Ｉａ的表达、ＦＩＴＣ在ＤＣ内的分布变化无关。某些Ｉａ阳性ＤＣ胞质内可见Ｂｉｒｂｅｃｋ颗粒样结构,提示Ｉａ阳性ＤＣ的不同群体可迁移至ＵＶ照射小鼠的淋巴结。     

甘薯细胞质传递的研究：精细胞的质体和线粒体及其DNA存在的状况

甘薯（ＩｐｏｍｏｅａｂａｔａｔａｓＬａｍ．）成熟花粉为二细胞型,在授粉后萌发之前生殖细胞分裂形成精细胞。仍在花粉粒中的两个精细胞大小和形状基本相似,细胞质中含丰富的质体和线粒体。细胞质ＤＮＡ特异荧光显示精细胞及产生它们的前细胞———生殖细胞中均含有丰富的类核。一对精细胞中类核的数量无明显的差异。精细胞中存在两种形态类核,大而荧光强的类核可能为质体类核,而小的荧光弱的类核为线粒体类核。双亲或父系质体遗传在被子植物中是少数,本研究结果为旋花科的除牵牛属和打碗花属外又提供了新的一属具这种遗传方式的细胞学证据。     

缺氧环境下大鼠骨髓间充质干细胞的凋亡及Fas、Fas-L的表达

目的探讨大鼠骨髓间充质干细胞(MSCs)在缺氧环境下是否存在凋亡及Fas和Fas-L蛋白在MSCs凋亡时是否表达及与细胞凋亡的相关性。方法将接种的P3细胞置于94%N2、1%O2和5%CO2缺氧箱中37℃孵育,分别于0.5h、1h、2h、4h、6h、8h和12h取出进行缺口末端标记(TUNEL)计算细胞凋亡指数(ApoptoticIndex,AI)和透射电镜观察细胞超微结构的改变,用Fas和Fas-L免疫组化试剂盒检测Fas-L和Fas蛋白的表达。结果1.培养的骨髓单个核细胞CD29、CD71、CD44免疫细胞化学染色均阳性,CD34染色阴性,5-氮胞苷诱导后表达TnT,提示其为MSCs。2.MSCs在缺氧前、缺氧0.5、1、2、4、6、8和12h时AI分别为0.11±2.03%、15.4±3.19%、16.7±2.51%、16.9±0.25%、17.7±2.50%、18.3±3.15%、18.4±4.22%、19.7±4.58%,缺氧不同时间点AI较缺氧前均显著性增高(P<0.01),并随着缺氧时间延伸,AI显著增加(P<0.05),不过,缺氧6h、8h和12h时AI没有统计学意义(P>0.05)。3.MSCs在不同缺氧时间点Fas、Fas-L蛋白表达较缺氧前均显著性增高(P<0.05),且随着缺氧时间延伸,表达显著增加,而在缺氧6h-12h时间点表达没有统计学意义(P>0.05)。3.缺氧0.5、1、2、4、6、8和12h,AI与Fas和Fas-L均显著正相关。结论缺氧是促进MSCs凋亡的重要因素,Fas和Fas-L蛋白可能在MSCs缺氧凋亡的调控中起着重要作用。     

PROPERTIES OF MICROCYSTIS AERUGINOSA AND M. FLOS-AQUAE (CYANOPHYTA) IN CULTURE: TAXONOMIC IMPLICATIONS1

Cultures were cloned from a sample containing Microcystis aeruginosa, M. flos-aquae and a few morphological intermediates. The M. aeruginosa cultures remained distinct from the M. flos-aquae cultures in (a) cell size, (b) cell aggregation pattern, (c) width of the mucilage surrounding the multicellular colonies, (d) sharpness of the mucilage boundary, (e) efect of 0.1–1.0 μM calcium chloride on the disaggregation of multicellular colonies, (f) frequency of mucilage mutants and (g) colony morphology on agar media. No M. flos-aquae culture produced morphs resembling M. aeruginosa, inconsistent with proposals that M. flos-aquae is a developmental stage or environmentally-induced variant of M. aeruginosa. After longterm cultivation, but not soon after origanal isolation, several M. aeruginosa cultures contained mutants with diminished mucilage production and an altered colony shape.     

磷酸戊糖途径的调节对红豆杉细胞生长及紫杉醇合成的影响

在正常的红豆杉细胞悬浮培养过程,葡萄糖-6-磷酸脱氢酶(G6PDH)活性的变化趋势与生物量的基本相似。而在chitosan处理的细胞中G6PDH活性升高而生物量下降。100 mg·L^-1 chitosan和500mg·L^-1 chitosan均对细胞G6PDH具有诱导作用,且后者的诱导强度较前者的高。乙二醇双2-氨基乙基醚四乙酸(EGTA)的加入降低chitosan对细胞G6PDH的诱导程度,显示chitosan对G6PDH的诱导需要Ca²⁺的参与。谷胱甘肽(GHS)的处理可反馈抑制chitosan对细胞G6PDH的诱导。通过分析调节后G6PDH的各种活性与细胞中紫杉醇产量的关系,认为采用合适的处理方法调节磷酸戊糖途径,有利于红豆杉细胞合成紫杉醇。     

VARIATIONS IN THE CELL WALLS AND PHOTOSYNTHETIC PROPERTIES OF PORPHYRA YEZOENSIS (BANGIALES,RHODOPHYTA) DURING ARCHEOSPORE FORMATION1

The formation of archeospores is characteristic of Porphyra yezoensis Ueda and is important for Porphyra aquaculture. Recently, it has been regarded as a valuable seed source for propagation of thalli in mariculture. Cell wall composition changes are associated with archeospore formation in P. yezoensis. Here, we report changes of cell walls of P. yezoensis during archeospore formation. The surfaces of vegetative cells that were originally smooth became rougher and more protuberant as archeosporangia were formed. Ultimately, the cell walls of archeosporangia ruptured, and archeospores were released from the torn cell walls that were left at distal margins of thalli. With changes in cell walls, both effective quantum yield and maximal quantum yield of the same regions in thalli gradually increased during the transformation of vegetative cells to archeospores, suggesting that the photosynthetic properties of the same regions in thalli gradually increased. Meanwhile, photosynthetic parameters for different sectors of thalli were determined, which included the proximal vegetative cells, archeosporangia, and newly released archeospores. The changes in photosynthetic properties of different sectors of thalli were in accordance with that of the same regions in thalli at different stages. In addition, the photosynthetic responses of archeosporangia to light showed higher saturating irradiance levels than those of vegetative cells. All these results suggest that archeosporangial cell walls were not degraded prior to release but were ruptured via bulging of the archeospore within the sporangium, and ultimately, archeospores were discharged. The accumulation of carbohydrates during archeospore formation in P. yezoensis might be required for the release of archeospores.     

ULTRASTRUCTURE OF AUXILIARY AND GONIMOBLAST CELLS DURING CARPOSPOROPHYTE DEVELOPMENT IN FAUCHEOCOLAX ATTENUATA (RHODOPHYTA)1

The ultra structure of post-fertilization development in Faucheocolax attenuata Setch. is described. Following fertilization and transfer of the diploid nucleus to the auxiliary cell, four gonimoblast initials usually are produced of the multinucleate auxiliary cell. Gonimoblast initials originally are uninucleate but undergo karyokinesis to form multinudeate gonimoblast cells. Terminal or generative gonimoblast cells cleave successively to form lobes of incipient carpospores, with each group of spores differentiating synchronously. Portions of the initial generative gonimoblast cells, however, remain to resume karyokinesis and repeat the process of cleavage into carpospores. Axial gonimoblast cells are transformed into secretory cells, which produce mucilage. Generative gonimoblast cells and auxiliary cells are similar in cellular structure. Both contain typical red algal proplastids, some dictyosomes, cytoplasmic concentric membranes, and numerous small vesicles. In addition, dark staining spherical masses, occurring in the cytoplasm of all cell types, may represent dehydrated haploid chromatin. Large septal plugs interconnect gonimoblast cells and the auxiliary cell. These plugs are small when first formed but increase dramatically in size during carposporophyte development.

TIP CELL GROWTH AND THE FREQUENCY AND DISTRIBUTION OF CELLULOSE MICROFIBRIL-SYNTHESIZING COMPLEXES IN THE PLASMA MEMBRANE OF APICAL SHOOT CELLS OF THE RED ALGA PORPHYRA YEZOENSIS1

The supramolecular organization of the plasma membrane of apical cells in shoot filaments of the marine red alga Porphyra yezoensis Ueda (conchocelis stage) was studied in replicas of rapidly frozen and fractured cells. The protoplasmic fracture (PF) face of the plasma membrane exhibited both randomly distributed single particles (with a mean diameter of 9.2 ± 0.2 nm) and distinct linear cellulose microfibril-synthesizing terminal complexes (TCs) consisting of two or three rows of linearly arranged particles (average diameter of TC particles 9.4 plusmn; 0.3 nm). The density of the single particles of the PF face of the plasma membrane was 3000 μm^?2, whereas that of the exoplasmic fracture face was 325 μm^?2. TCs were observed only on the PF face. The highest density of TCs was at the apex of the cell (mean density 23.0 plusmn; 7.4 TCs μm^?2 within 5 μm from the tip) and decreased rapidly from the apex to the more basal regions of the cell, dropping to near zero at 20 μm. The number of particle subunits of TCs per μm² of the plasma membrane also decreased from the tip to the basal regions following the same gradient as that of the TC density. The length of TCs increased gradually from the tip (mean length 46.0 plusmn; 1.4 nm in the area at 0–5 μm from the tip) to the cell base (mean length 60.0 plusmn; 7.0 μm in the area at 15–20 μm). In the very tip region (0–4 μm from the apex), randomly distributed TCs but no microfibril imprints were observed, while in the region 4–9 μm from the tip microfibril imprints and TCs, both randomly distributed, occurred. Many TCs involved in the synthesis of cellulose microfibrils were associated with the ends of microfibril imprints. Our results indicate that TCs are involved in the biosynthesis, assembly, and orientation of cellulose microfibrils and that the frequency and distribution of TCs reflect tip growth (polar growth) in the apical shoot cell of Porphyra yezoensis. Polar distribution of linear TCs as “cellulose synthase” complexes within the plasma membrane of a tip cell was recorded for the first time in plants.
