人Sema4C重组腺病毒载体的构建及其在小鼠成肌细胞系C2C12中的表达

利用Ad5腺病毒载体系统构建人Sema4C基因重组腺病毒表达载体并在成肌细胞系C2C12中表达,并初步探讨Sema4C基因在成肌发育过程中的可能作用。利用脂质体介导重组腺病毒载体转染HEK293细胞,包装出完整的腺病毒;将重组腺病毒载体感染C2C12成肌细胞后,利用激光共聚焦显微镜观察发现12h即有绿色荧光表达,24h后绿色荧光蛋白表达最强;流式细胞仪检测病毒的感染效率几乎达100%。WB检测结果表明感染重组腺病毒载体组C2C12细胞Sema4C蛋白的表达量明显高于空载体对照组（P<0.01）。为了进一步观察Sema4C基因对C2C12细胞增殖分化的影响,流式细胞仪检测了病毒感染48h后C2C12细胞的增殖指数,并对感染后诱导分化的C2C12细胞的分化情况进行了观察。我们的结果首次表明,过表达外源性人Sema4C基因不仅能使C2C12细胞的G0/G1期比例增加,细胞的增殖指数下降,同时在分化培养条件下还能促进C2C12细胞肌管的形成。     

Membranolysis by the ninth component of human complement

The lytic property of isolated C9 was shown by using heat (48°C) to induce polymerization of C9, which was then exposed to egg lecithin vesicles containing carboxyfluorescein. In this environment, C9 penetrated the vesicles and released the marker. C5b-9 and C5b-8 also released carboxyfluorescein at 48°C, as did C5b-7 to a lesser extent. However, neither isolated C5b-6, C7, C8 nor albumin caused such release. At 30°C, the C9 remained in the monomeric form and could not lyse the vesicles.C9 polymers formed at 48°C were ring-shaped with an internal diameter of approximately 100 Å and an outer diameter of approximately 180 Å. These rings of C9 polymers strikingly resembled the ultrastructures formed by the membrane attack complex of complement, viewed from the top.Our results indicate that polymeric C9 causes the membranolysis of phospholipid vesicles and, hence, that C9 alone is a cytotoxic molecule.     

绵羊Myostatin基因启动子的功能分析

相比于Myostatin基因的作用机制而言, 对Myostatin基因转录和表达的调控机制了解很少. 为了更好地了解Myostatin基因5’调控区的结构和功能, 深入研究Myostatin基因的转录调控机制, 在最近的研究中克隆了绵羊Myostatin基因的启动子(Pro)序列(GenBank 登录号为AY918121). 进一步以EGFP为报告基因, 构建了各种长度的野生型MSTNPro^W-EGFP载体和E-box元件突变型MSTNPro^EM-EGFP载体, 通过转染C2C12小鼠骨骼肌成肌细胞系或绵羊成纤维细胞后, 对各种情况下EGFP的瞬时或稳定表达进行荧光定量分析而比较不同条件下绵羊Myostatin基因启动子的转录调控活性. 结果表明, 0.3~1.2 kb的绵羊Myostatin基因启动子都能不同程度地驱动EGFP在C2C12细胞中的转录和表达, 其中1.2 kb片段的转录调控活性最高. 然 而, 将绵羊1.2 kb MSTNPro^W-EGFP载体转染绵羊成纤维细胞后并未观察到EGFP的表达, 说明Myostatin基因表达的肌肉特异性源于启动子的转录特异性. 对稳定转染绵羊1.2 kb MSTNPro^W-EGFP载体的C2C12细胞进行荧光分析, 结果表明细胞生长密度的增加可以反馈性抑制Myostatin基因的转录和表达. 在C2C12分化状态下, 1.2 kb野生型绵羊Myostatin基因启动子的活性比成肌状态时显著升高, 而1.2 kb E(3+5+7)突变型Myostatin基因启动子的活性在C2C12分化前后并未表现出差别. 这一结果暗示肌肉调控因子MyoD可能是通过与E-box结合而引起Myostatin基因在C2C12分化和生长状态时转录和表达差异的一个原因.

On the Genus Ceterachopsis (J. Sm.) Ching

eterachopsis was proposed by the senior author as an independent genus of the family Aspleniaceae in 1940 with 2 species. Since then much study on its morphology, anatomy, gametophyte and palynology has been carried out by Nayar, Bir, Chandra & Nayar and Chang et al., and they are of the opinion that the genus like Ceterach, is a comparatively primitive element in the family Aspleniaceae. The queer zigzag patern of cutting of lanceolate fronds appears extraordinary in the family Aspleniaceae, and also suggests its antiquity in evolution. So far only 3 species (C. dalhousiae, C. paucivenosa and C. magnifica) are recognized, the former from W. Himalayas, also known from Africa, while the latter two from W. S. China (Yunnan). However, in the past forty years the Chinese botanists have discovered 2 more species as new in N. W. Yunnan, thus bringing the total known species of the genus up to 5. The present paper is a brief summary on the genus Ceterachopsis, which will be published in detail in the Flora Sinica vol. 4. Pteridologists are also divided in their views regarding the generic status of Ceterachopsis with 5 well-defined species in Yunnan and the East Himalayas. We prefer to mintain it as a genus separate from Asplenium on account of its distinct morphological features. It is to be hoped that more species may come to light in the mountainsin N. W. Yunnan through further exploration now under way.

Activation of protein kinase C by a tumor-promoting phorbol ester in pancreatic islets

Rat pancreatic islet homogenates display protein kinase C activity. This phospholipid-dependent and calcium-sensitive enzyme is activated by diacylglycerol or the tumor-promoting phorbol ester 12-O-tetradecanoylphorbol-13-acetate (TPA). In the presence of TPA, the Ka for Ca2+ is close to 5 microM. TPA does not affect phosphoinositide turnover but stimulates [32P]- and [3H]choline-labelling of phosphatidylcholine in intact islets. Exogenous phospholipase C stimulates insulin release, in a sustained and glucose-independent fashion. The secretory response to phospholipase C persists in media deprived of CaCl2. It is proposed that protein kinase C participates in the coupling of stimulus recognition to insulin release evoked by TPA, phospholipase C and, possibly, those secretatogues causing phosphoinositide breakdown in pancreatic islets.
