3,4-二羟基苯乙酮胁迫对天山云杉种子萌发过程中内源植物激素含量变化的影响

3,4-二羟基苯乙酮(DHAP)是天山云杉(Picea schrenkiana ssp. tianschanica)叶和凋落物中存在的主要自毒物质, 是导致天山云杉林天然更新障碍的原因之一。为了解释自毒物质发生作用的生理机制, 该文设计多个浓度梯度的DHAP溶液处理天山云杉种子, 以发芽率和发芽势为种子萌发参数, 运用反相超高效液相色谱(UPLC)分析技术, 检测了种子萌发过程中内源植物激素玉米素(ZT)、赤霉素(GA₃)、吲哚乙酸(IAA)和脱落酸(ABA)含量水平的变化。研究结果表明: DHAP处理对天山云杉种子萌发影响具有浓度效应, 表现为5.0 mmol·L^-1 > 0.1 mmol·L^-1 > 1.0 mmol·L^-1 >对照, 即5.0 mmol·L^-1 DHAP处理组对种子萌发的抑制作用最强、0.1 mmol·L^-1 DHAP处理组次之、1.0 mmol·L^-1 DHAP处理组最弱; DHAP处理组的种子内源ZT、GA₃浓度水平降低, ABA含量升高, GA₃浓度峰值出现时间延迟, IAA浓度在高浓度(5.0 mmol·L^-1 DHAP)处理组短时间内(3-6天)过量积累, 1.0和5.0 mmol·L^-1 DHAP处理组的种子内源ABA浓度峰值出现时间延迟; DHAP处理种子萌发1-6天时, ZT/(GA₃+IAA)比值降低, IAA/ZT、ABA/ZT比值增大; ABA/(ZT + GA₃ + IAA)比值在0.1 mmol·L^-1 DHAP处理组增大, 在5.0 mmol·L^-1 DHAP处理组降低。DHAP处理引发种子内源激素含量水平及激素含量间比值变化, 可能是抑制、延迟天山云杉种子萌发的主要原因。

核酸(脱)甲基化与内源甲醛及认知损伤

核酸(DNA和RNA)甲基化/脱甲基是表观遗传调控的重要机制.甲醛参与DNA、RNA的甲基化/脱甲基过程,从而影响表观遗传的调节,包括学习记忆等认知功能.然而,甲醛代谢失调将影响核酸的甲基化与脱甲基,使动物的学习记忆能力下降,造成认知损伤.对北京地区604名老人(≥60岁)的调查显示,内源甲醛含量与被试受教育的年限相关,受教育程度越高,内源甲醛含量越低,反之亦然.这些结果表明,内源甲醛在人类学习记忆中扮演重要的角色,"活到老,学到老"可以延缓甲醛代谢失调引起的老年认知损伤.因此,研究内源甲醛代谢与核酸甲基化修饰之间的关系,对探索记忆储存及认知损伤等表观遗传学相关疾病的发生发展机制,具有一定的启示.     

内源性逆转录病毒长末端重复序列在嗜酸性粒细胞增多症的基因表达及核苷酸序列分析

探索人内源性逆转录病毒长末端重复序列(LTR)基因及表达与嗜酸性粒细胞增多症发生的关系。PCR法检测嗜酸性粒细胞增多症患者外周血中内源性逆转录病毒长末端重复序列基因,RT-PCR法检测内源性逆转录病毒基因表达。变性高效液相分析和序列测定LTR片段核苷酸序列,对不同株基因序列作同源性的比较分析。PCR结果显示:20例嗜酸性粒细胞增多症患者细胞中均获得内源性逆转录病毒长末端重复序列扩增产物,嗜酸性粒细胞增多症组中长末端重复序列基因有高的表达,而正常人表达为阴性。与HERV-K家族LTR基因相应区域核苷酸序列比较;嗜酸性粒细胞增多组长末端重复序列U3、R、U5区同源性分析有核苷酸的改变,与淋巴瘤对照比较没有大片段的缺失。人类基因组中普遍存在逆转录病毒长末端重复序列。正常人和嗜酸性粒细胞增多症患者中长末端重复序列有不同程度核苷酸碱基的变异,但是,二者比较,这种改变与嗜酸性粒细胞的增多没有明显的相关性。在嗜酸性粒细胞增多症患者中有高的基因表达而正常人中没有可检出的病毒基因的表达,嗜酸粒细胞的增多可能与逆转录病毒基因表达水平有关,其诱导嗜酸粒细胞增多的机制需进一步的研究。     

Identification and Purification of Calcium-Independent Phospholipase A2 from Bovine Brain Cytosol

Substantial amounts of phospholipase A2 activity were detected in bovine brain cytosol. The major phospholipase A2 activity was present in the precipitate at 40% saturation with solid ammonium sulfate. After the desaltate of the precipitate was loaded onto an Ultrogel AcA 54 gel filtration column, almost all the activity eluted in the void volume when chromatographed without 1 M KCl. However, when buffer with 1 M KCl was used as the eluent, two active peaks were obtained. One peak (peak I) eluted in the void volume, and the other (peak II) eluted with an apparent molecular mass of 39 kDa as compared with standards. The former was active with diacylglycero-3-phosphoethanolamine, whereas the latter was active with both diacylglycero-3-phosphoethanolamine and 1-alk-1'-enyl-2-acylglycero-3-phosphoethanolamine (plasmenylethanolamine). The apparent molecular mass of peak I was estimated to be 110 kDa as compared with standards on an Ultrogel AcA 34 gel filtration column. Both peaks were purified further with a hydrophobic chromatography column (AffiGel 10 coupled with plasmenylethanolamine) and then by high-resolution liquid chromatography on an MA7Q column. The phospholipase A2 obtained from peak II migrated as one main band with a 40-kDa molecular mass and two minor bands with 14- and 25-kDa molecular masses. Phospholipase A2 obtained from peak I eluted as a single peak on high-resolution liquid chromatography but contained two bands with apparent molecular masses of 100 and 110 kDa as determined by sodium dodecyl sulfate-polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis.(ABSTRACT TRUNCATED AT 250 WORDS)     

Isolation and characterization of a novel banana rhizosphere bacterium as fungal antagonist and microbial adjuvant in micropropagation of banana

AIM: Isolation and characterization of a bacterial isolate (strain FP10) from banana rhizosphere with innate potential as fungal antagonist and microbial adjuvant in micropropagation of banana. METHODS AND RESULTS: Bacterium FP10 was isolated from the banana rhizosphere and identified as Pseudomonas aeruginosa based on phenotypic, biochemical traits and sequence homology of partial 622-bp fragment of 16S ribosomal DNA (rDNA) amplicon, with the ribosomal database sequences. Strain FP10 displayed antibiosis towards fungi causing wilt and root necrosis diseases of banana. Production of plant growth hormone, indole-3-acetic acid (IAA), siderophores and phosphate-solubilizing enzyme in FP10 was determined. Strain FP10 tested negative for hydrogen cyanide, cellulase and pectinase, the deleterious traits for plant growth. Screening of antibiotic genes was carried out by polymerase chain reaction using gene-specific primers. Amplification of a 745-bp DNA fragment confirmed the presence of phlD, which is a key gene involved in the biosynthesis of 2,4-diacetylphloroglucinol (DAPG) in FP10. The antibiotic produced by FP10 was confirmed as DAPG using thin layer chromatography, high performance liquid chromatography and Fourier transform infrared and tested for fungal antibiosis towards banana pathogens. Procedures for encapsulation of banana shoot tips with FP10 are described. CONCLUSIONS: Strain FP10 exhibited broad-spectrum antibiosis towards banana fungi causing wilt and root necrosis. DAPG by FP10 induced bulb formation and lysis of fungal mycelia. Encapsulation of banana shoot tips with FP10 induced higher frequency of germination (plantlet development) than nontreated controls on Murashige and Skoog basal medium. Treatment of banana plants with FP10 enhanced plant height and reduced the vascular discolouration as a result of Fusarium oxysporum f. sp. cubense FOC. SIGNIFICANCE AND IMPACT OF THE STUDY: Because of the innate potential of fungal antibiosis by DAPG antibiotic and production of siderophore, plant-growth-promoting IAA and phosphatase, the strain FP10 can be used as biofertilizer as well as a biocontrol agent.     

Determination of carbamazepine in human urine and serum samples by high‐performance liquid chromatography with post‐column Ru(bipy)‐Ce(SO4)2 chemiluminescence detection

A novel, sensitive and rapid CL method coupled with high‐performance liquid chromatography separation for the determination of carbamazepine is described. The method was based on the fact that carbamazepine could significantly enhance the chemiluminescence of the reaction of cerium sulfate and tris(2,2‐bipyridyl) ruthenium(II) in the presence of acid. The chromatographic separation was performed on a Kromasil® (Sigma‐Aldrich) TM RP‐C18 column (id: 150 mm × 4.6 mm, particle size: 5 µm, pore size: 100 Å) with a mobile phase consisting of methanol–water‐glacial acetic acid (70:29:1, v/v/v) at a flowrate of 1.0 mL/min, the total analysis time was within 650 s. Under optimal conditions, CL intensity was linear for carbamazepine in the range 2.0 × 10^?8 ~ 4.0 × 10^?5 g/mL, with a detection limit of 6.0 × 10^?9 g/mL (S/N = 3) and the relative standard detection was 2.5% for 2.0 × 10^?6 g/mL (n = 11). This method was successfully applied to the analysis of carbamazepine in human urine and serum samples. The possible mechanism of the CL reaction is also discussed briefly.

Molecular Cloning, Mapping, and Expression Analysis of the EIF4A2 Gene in Pig

A full-length cDNA clone encoding the eukaryotic translation initiation factor 4A, isoform 2 (EIF4A2), was cloned from the fetal skeletal cDNA library from the pig (Sus scrofa). EIF4A2 is a highly conserved gene for one of the protein-synthesis initiation factors involved in the binding of mRNA to the ribosome. Based on this cDNA sequence, the deduced protein of 407 amino acids contains the characteristic motifs shared by the DEAD-box supergene family. The genomic nucleotide sequence of this gene was determined and a single nucleotide polymorphism located in the 5′ untranslated region was genotyped. The porcine EIF4A2 was expressed in all tissues examined but in variable amounts. The EIF4A2 expression level in muscle was upregulated through embryonic and neonatal development until adult, suggesting that porcine EIF4A2 was possibly involved in translation regulation of other muscle-related genes in muscle formation and development. In addition, we mapped porcine EIF4A2 to q4.1 of SSC13, in agreement with comparative mapping data.     

Interactions between the active metabolite of tryptophan pyrolysate mutagen, N-hydroxy-Trp-P-2, and lipids: the role of lipid peroxides in the conversion of N-hydroxy-Trp-P-2 to non-reactive forms

The interactions between lipids and the mutagenic active metabolite of 3-amino-1-methyl-5H-pyrido[4,3-b]indole (Trp-P-2) and 3-hydroxyamino-1-methyl-5H-pyrido[4,3-b]indole (N-hydroxy-Trp-P-2), were studied. Oleic acid showed an inhibitory effect on the formation of this active metabolite mainly by inhibition of hepatic microsomal oxidation systems. On the other hand, microsomal lipids from rat liver and commercial pig liver lecithin diminished the amount of N-hydroxy-Trp-P-2 without inhibiting the metabolism of Trp-P-2. The direct reaction of these lipids with N-hydroxy-Trp-P-2 was disclosed by experiments using N-hydroxy-Trp-P-2 and lipids without microsomes. Furthermore, the participation of lipid peroxides in this reaction was suggested by a linear relationship between the concentrations of the conjugated diene of lipids and the disappearance of N-hydroxy-Trp-P-2. When [3H]N-hydroxy-Trp-P-2 was incubated in the presence of pig liver lecithin, the polar products which were not formed in the incubation without lipids were newly detected by thin-layer chromatography (TLC) analysis.     

Presence of immunoreactive salusin-β in human plasma and urine

Salusin-α and salusin-β are multifunctional bioactive peptides originally identified using bioinformatics analyses. Salusin-β has been shown to exert potent hypotensive, bradycardic, and pro-atherosclerotic effects. The form in which it exists in biological fluids remains undetermined due to technical difficulties originating from its unexpected physicochemical properties. Here we show that salusin-β peptide adheres to polypropylene and polystyrene, so that the aliquoted peptide dissolved in distilled water may rapidly disappear from the solution. By circumventing these features and using an antibody against C-terminal portion of salusin-β, we have successfully established a specific radioimmunoassay suitable for detection of immunoreactive human salusin-β. We have characterized the molecular form of salusin-β in human plasma and urine. The assay detected immunoreactive salusin-β concentrations as low as 5 fmol/tube and the concentration required for 50% inhibition of binding was 122 fmol/tube. Cross-reactivities with salusin-α and other bioactive peptides were negligible. Reverse-phase high performance liquid chromatography coupled with the radioimmunoassay detection after extraction from plasma and urine and using an octyl-silica column, revealed a major immunoreactive component that co-eluted with authentic salusin-β. Salusin-β-like immunoreactivity in normal human urine ranged from 0.23 to 2.22 nmol/l (mean ± SD, 1.16 ± 0.84 nmol/l, n = 10). These data present the first evidence that salusin-β circulates and is excreted in its authentic form, thereby verifying the initially predicted processing sites for salusin-β in humans.     

Precision and accuracy of radioimmunoassay in the analysis of endogenous 3-indoleacetic acid from needles of scots pine

The precision and accuracy of a radioimmunoassay (RIA) for 3-indoleacetic acid (IAA) were assessed when applied to the analysis of extracts from Pinus sylvestris seedlings. It was found that extracts contained contaminants that adversely affected both the precision and accuracy of quantitative estimates of IAA. When samples were subjected to purification procedures prior to RIA, accurate and more precise estimates were obtained. Parallel analysis with high performance liquid chromatography using a fluorescence detector (HPLC-FL) indicated that HPLC-FL provided accurate estimates of the IAA content of Pinus extracts at the same stage of purification as RIA. The precision of HPLC-FL estimates was similar to that obtained with RIA.
