黑腹果蝇white基因在H_2O_2影响下卷翅形成中的作用及机理

卷翅是果蝇遗传学上最常用的标记之一,但卷翅形成的具体机制还不清楚.过去的研究发现,理化刺激影响果蝇卷翅的形成.我们最近研究发现,H_2O_2处理不仅会影响果蝇的羽化率,还会使其出现卷翅现象.本研究通过改变H_2O_2浓度、果蝇培养温度和H_2O_2处理时间,探讨影响黑腹果蝇卷翅形成的具体因素,并对其超氧化物歧化酶(SOD)、过氧化氢酶(CAT)和谷胱甘肽过氧化物酶(GSH-PX)活力进行检测,探讨H_2O_2对果蝇抗氧化能力的影响.结果表明:果蝇的羽化率与H_2O_2浓度成反比.温度、H_2O_2浓度和H_2O_2处理时间的改变均会影响果蝇翅的卷曲程度和卷翅果蝇所占的比例.其中white基因突变果蝇对这3种条件反应最明显,mini-white(white基因回复突变)果蝇却可以拯救该表型,它的反应与野生型OR相似.H_2O_2对含Cy基因的果蝇卷翅的形成也有一定的影响,可以加大果蝇翅的卷曲程度.对SOD、CAT和GSH-PX活力检测发现,H_2O_2处理会使果蝇的抗氧化能力降低.实时荧光定量PCR检测发现,H_2O_2处理会导致果蝇基因表达量发生改变.黑腹果蝇卷翅形成是一个十分复杂的过程,H_2O_2可能作为某种信号分子或是间接影响某种因子参与黑腹果蝇的卷翅形成过程.该卷翅形成过程可能与Cy基因导致的果蝇卷翅过程是同一个信号途径,两者也可能是通过不同的模式进行调控的.     

油桃花芽破眠过程中H2O2代谢与Ca2+转运的关系

利用化学测定法分析高温、单氰胺和TDZ 3种破眠处理对“曙光”油桃休眠花芽H₂O₂代谢的主要影响,利用非损伤微测技术检测H₂O₂对休眠芽Ca²⁺转运的影响,研究H₂O₂在芽休眠解除过程中的调控作用.结果表明： 在深休眠时期,高温和单氰胺处理均能诱导芽内H₂O₂含量升高和过氧化氢酶(CAT)活性降低,并具有显著的破眠作用;TDZ对H₂O₂含量及CAT、过氧化物酶(POD)活性影响不大,破眠效果较差.休眠花芽原基组织钙通道活跃,对外源Ca²⁺呈吸收状态.外源H₂O₂可诱导休眠花芽原基组织Ca²⁺转运发生变化,低浓度H₂O₂降低Ca²⁺吸收速率,高浓度H₂O₂使组织对Ca²⁺的转运由吸收转变为释放.这表明休眠芽内H₂O₂信号和Ca²⁺信号相关联,通过诱导H₂O₂积累调控Ca²⁺信号可能在高温和单氰胺打破休眠的信号转导过程中起重要作用.

黑腹果蝇中一个Cy染色体上的缺失

卷翅(Curly简称Cy)是易以识别的果蝇翅膀的显性突变, 是黑腹果蝇2号染色体上最常用的显性翅膀标记, 但对Cy的分子特征却不清楚。综合细胞遗传学与基因组学的信息,应用分子生物学技术,首次在Cy染色体上发现一个102 bp的缺失。该缺失存在于不同的卷翅品系中, 说明不同Cy染色体上存在某些共同的分子特征。同时以该缺失作为Cy染色体的DNA标记, 通过基因型多态分析, 初步证实Cy纯合型可导致果蝇胚胎期死亡。这些结果为进一步研究卷翅的分子遗传机理奠定了基础。     

胞外H2O2及NADPH氧化酶参与了铜胁迫对植物细胞死亡的诱导

以烟草悬浮细胞BY-2(Nicotiana tabacum L.cv.Bright Yellow-2)为材料,探讨了在铜离子胁迫下植物细胞死亡发生过程中胞外H₂O₂及NADPH氧化酶所扮演的角色。实验结果表明,随着外源CuCl₂浓度的上升(从0~700 μmol·L^-1),细胞死亡水平不断上升,且胞外H₂O₂的水平也不断增加。在300 μmol·L^-1的CuCl₂诱导细胞死亡的过程中,加入H₂O₂清除剂N-N-二甲基硫脲(DMTU)降低了胞外CuCl₂胁迫下H₂O₂含量增加的同时也降低了细胞死亡水平的上升,这一观察表明了铜离子胁迫所导致的细胞死亡的发生和胞外H₂O₂的增加有关。进一步的研究表明,300 μmol·L^-1 CuCl₂的胁迫导致了NADPH氧化酶活性的显著性上升,而加入NADPH氧化酶的抑制剂（二亚苯基碘,DPI,)则降低了CuCl₂胁迫所导致的细胞死亡和胞外H₂O₂含量的上升。上述结果表明,胞外H₂O₂和NADPH氧化酶参与了CuCl₂对植物细胞死亡的诱导作用。

ECS1参与调节CO2诱导的拟南芥气孔关闭和H2O2积累

CO₂浓度升高可以诱导植物叶片气孔关闭, 提高植物对高浓度CO₂的适应性。但植物如何感知CO₂浓度变化并启动气孔关闭反应的分子机制至今仍不十分清楚。利用高通量、非侵入的远红外成像技术, 建立了拟南芥(Arabidopsis thaliana)气孔对CO₂浓度变化反应相关的突变体筛选技术, 筛选出对环境CO₂浓度敏感的拟南芥突变体ecs1。遗传学分析表明, ecs1为单基因隐性突变体, 突变基因ECS1编码一个跨膜钙离子转运蛋白。与野生型拟南芥相比, 360 μL·L^–1CO₂可引起ecs1突变体叶片温度上升和气孔关闭, ecs1突变体对900 μL·L^–1CO₂长时间处理具有较强的适应性。进一步的实验表明, 360μL·L^–1CO₂即可诱导ecs1突变体叶片积累较高浓度的H₂O₂, 而900 μL·L^–1CO₂才能够诱导野生型拟南芥叶片积累H₂O₂。因此, ECS1可能参与调节高浓度CO₂诱导的拟南芥气孔关闭和H₂O₂产生, H₂O₂可能作为第二信号分子介导CO₂诱导拟南芥气孔关闭的反应。     

水分胁迫下山黧豆中ABA及ODAP的积累研究

用PEG、PEG+ABA、ABA分别处理15d龄的山黧豆幼苗,取其叶片为实验材料,测定内源ABA、ODAP、MDA和H₂O₂含量以及几种抗氧化酶活性,结果表明,与对照相比处理材料叶片中ABA和ODAP含量显著增加;外源ABA的加入降低了PEG胁迫引起的MDA和H₂O₂含量的增加,延缓了PEG胁迫引起的CAT活性的衰减,提高了GR活性.用外源ABA长时间处理山黧豆,发现叶片中ABA含量显著增加,随后出现ODAP的积累;ABA处理初期(0～3d)对叶片中活性氧代谢影响不大,随着ABA处理时间的延长(7～15d),可引起叶片中SOD、POD、CAT、GR活性的降低,MDA、H₂O₂含量的增加,表明ABA确实可促进ODAP的积累.     

Hydrogen peroxide is necessary for abscisic acid-induced senescence of rice leaves

The role of H₂O₂ in abscisic acid (ABA)-induced rice leaf senescence is investigated. ABA treatment resulted in H₂O₂ production in rice leaves, which preceded the occurrence of leaf senescence. Dimethylthiourea, a chemical trap for H₂O₂, was observed to be effective in inhibiting ABA-induced senescence, ABA-increased malondialdehyde (MDA) content, ABA-increased antioxidative enzyme activities (superoxide dismutase, ascorbate peroxidase, glutathione reductase and catalase), and ABA-decreased antioxidant contents (ascorbic acid and reduced glutathione) in rice leaves. Diphenyleneiodonium chloride (DPI) and imidazole (IMD), inhibitors of NADPH oxidase, and KCN and NaN₃, inhibitors of peroxidase, prevented ABA-induced H₂O₂ production, suggesting NADPH oxidase and peroxidase are H₂O₂-generating enzymes in ABA-treated rice leaves. DPI, IMD, KCN, and NaN₃ also inhibited ABA-promoted senescence, ABA-increased MDA contents, ABA-increased antioxidative enzyme activities, and ABA-decreased antioxidants in rice leaves. These results suggest that H₂O₂ is involved in ABA-induced senescence of rice leaves.     

Ca2+参与H2O2促进盐碱混合胁迫下燕麦种子的萌发和成苗

盐碱胁迫是制约作物高产优质的重要因素,Ca²⁺和H₂O₂作为信号分子参与作物逆境响应调节。为了解Ca²⁺是否参与H₂O₂对盐碱胁迫下植物种子萌发和成苗的调控,以燕麦（Avena nude）为试验材料,采用隶属函数分析方法,研究了胞外游离Ca²⁺螯合剂EGTA、质膜Ca²⁺通道阻断剂LaCl₃和液泡膜Ca²⁺释放抑制剂钌红（RR）与H₂O₂共处理对盐碱混合（NaCl：Na₂SO₄：NaHCO₃：Na₂CO₃=12：8：9：1）胁迫下种子萌发和成苗的影响。结果表明,25~200 mmol·L^-1盐碱混合胁迫显著抑制燕麦的种子萌发和成苗,抑制程度随浓度提高而增强;0.001~2 mmol·L^-1 H₂O₂能够促进燕麦种子的萌发和成苗,且0.5 mmol·L^-1 H₂O₂可以显著缓解75 mmol·L^-1盐碱混合胁迫对燕麦种子萌发和成苗的抑制作用;而EGTA、LaCl₃和RR均能消减H₂O₂对盐碱混合胁迫下燕麦种子萌发和成苗的促进作用。表明Ca²⁺参与H₂O₂促进盐碱混合胁迫下燕麦种子萌发和成苗的信号转导过程。     

Iron prevents ascorbic acid (vitamin C) induced hydrogen peroxide accumulation in copper contaminated drinking water

Ascorbic acid (vitamin C) induced hydrogen peroxide (H₂O₂) formation was measured in household drinking water and metal supplemented Milli-Q water by using the FOX assay. Here we show that ascorbic acid readily induces H₂O₂ formation in Cu(II) supplemented Milli-Q water and poorly buffered household drinking water. In contrast to Cu(II), iron was not capable to support ascorbic acid induced H₂O₂ formation during acidic conditions (pH: 3.5-5). In 12 out of the 48 drinking water samples incubated with 2 mM ascorbic acid, the H₂O₂ concentration exceeded 400 μM. However, when trace amounts of Fe(III) (0.2 mg/l) was present during incubation, the ascorbic acid/Cu(II)-induced H₂O₂ accumulation was totally blocked. Of the other common divalent or trivalent metal ions tested, that are normally present in drinking water (calcium, magnesium, zinc, cobalt, manganese or aluminum), only calcium and magnesium displayed a modest inhibitory activity on the ascorbic acid/Cu(II)-induced H₂O₂ formation. Oxalic acid, one of the degradation products from ascorbic acid, was confirmed to actively participate in the iron induced degradation of H₂O₂. Ascorbic acid/Cu(II)-induced H₂O₂ formation during acidic conditions, as demonstrated here in poorly buffered drinking water, could be of importance in host defense against bacterial infections. In addition, our findings might explain the mechanism for the protective effect of iron against vitamin C induced cell toxicity.     

Non-oxygen-forming pathways of hydrogen peroxide degradation by bovine liver catalase at low hydrogen peroxide fluxes

Heme catalases are considered to degrade two molecules of H₂O₂ to two molecules of H₂O and one molecule of O₂ employing the catalatic cycle. We here studied the catalytic behaviour of bovine liver catalase at low fluxes of H₂O₂ (relative to catalase concentration), adjusted by H₂O₂-generating systems. At a ratio of a H₂O₂ flux (given in μM/min^- 1) to catalase concentration (given in μM) of 10 min^- 1 and above, H₂O₂ degradation occurred via the catalatic cycle. At lower ratios, however, H₂O₂ degradation proceeded with increasingly diminished production of O₂. At a ratio of 1 min^- 1, O₂ formation could no longer be observed, although the enzyme still degraded H₂O₂. These results strongly suggest that at low physiological H₂O₂ fluxes H₂O₂ is preferentially metabolised reductively to H₂O, without release of O₂. The pathways involved in the reductive metabolism of H₂O₂ are presumably those previously reported as inactivation and reactivation pathways. They start from compound I and are operative at low and high H₂O₂ fluxes but kinetically outcompete the reaction of compound I with H₂O₂ at low H₂O₂ production rates. In the absence of NADPH, the reducing equivalents for the reductive metabolism of H₂O₂ are most likely provided by the protein moiety of the enzyme. In the presence of NADPH, they are at least in part provided by the coenzyme.

The lactate-dependent enhancement of hydroxyl radical generation by the Fenton reaction

The effect of lactic acid (lactate) on Fenton based hydroxyl radical (^·OH) production was studied by spin trapping, ESR, and fluorescence methods using DMPO and coumarin-3-carboxylic acid (3-CCA) as the ^·OH traps respectively. The ^·OH adduct formation was inhibited by lactate up to 0.4mM (lactate/iron stoichiometry = 2) in both experiments, but markedly enhanced with increasing concentrations of lactate above this critical concentration. When the H₂O₂ dependence was examined, the DMPO-OH signal was increased linearly with H₂O₂ concentration up to 1 mM and then saturated in the absence of lactate. In the presence of lactate, however, the DMPO-OH signal was increased further with higher H₂O₂ concentration than 1 mM, and the saturation level was also increased dependent on lactate concentration. Spectroscopic studies revealed that lactate forms a stable colored complex with Fe³⁺ at lactate/Fe³⁺ stoichiometry of 2, and the complex formation was strictly related to the DMPO-OH formation. The complex formation did not promote the H₂O₂ mediated Fe³⁺ reduction. When the Fe³⁺-lactate (1:2) complex was reacted with H₂O₂, the initial rate of hydroxylated 3-CCA formation was linearly increased with H₂O₂ concentrations. All the data obtained in the present experiments suggested that the Fe³⁺-lactate (1:2) complex formed in the Fenton reaction system reacts directly with H₂O₂ to produce additional ^·OH in the Fenton reaction by other mechanisms than lactate or lactate/Fe³⁺ mediated promotion of Fe³⁺/Fe²⁺ redox cycling.     

Influence of different site symmetries of Eu centers on the luminescence properties of Anderson-based compounds

Two compounds, [Eu(H₂O)₇][Al(OH)₆Mo₆O₁₈] · 4H₂O (1) and {(C₂H₅NO₂)₂[Eu(H₂O)₅]}[Al(OH)₆Mo₆O₁₈] · 10H₂O (2), have been synthesized by conventional solution method and determined by single-crystal X-ray diffraction. Compound 1 shows a 1D chain structure built up of alternating Anderson-type polyanions [Al(OH)₆Mo₆O₁₈]³⁻ and hydrated rare-earth ions Eu³⁺. Compound 2 displays a 3D supramolecular network structure containing 1D sandglass-like channels along c axis, which were occupied by repetitive array of (H₂O)₈ clusters. Extensive hydrogen bonds play an important role in the formation of the 3D structures of 1 and 2. Luminescence measurements reveal that 1 and 2 exhibit intense red and orange fluorescent emission at room temperature, respectively. Origin of the distinct emission can be assigned to the different site symmetries of Eu³⁺ centers in the two compounds. These results are consistent with the crystal structures of the two compounds.     

Influence of chelators and iron ions on the production and degradation of H2O2 by beta-amyloid-copper complexes

β-Amyloid peptide (Aβ) 1–42, involved in the pathogenesis of Alzheimer’s disease, binds copper ions to form Aβ · Cu_n complexes that are able to generate H₂O₂ in the presence of a reductant and O₂. The production of H₂O₂ can be stopped with chelators. More reactive than H₂O₂ itself, hydroxyl radicals HO (generated when a reduced redox active metal complex interacts with H₂O₂) are also probably involved in the oxidative stress that creates brain damage during the disease. We report in the present work a method to monitor the effect of chelating agents on the production of hydrogen peroxide by metallo-amyloid peptides. The addition of H₂O₂ associated to a pre-incubation step between ascorbate and Aβ · Cu_n allows to study the formation of H₂O₂ but also, at the same time, its transformation by the copper complexes. Aβ · Cu_n peptides produce but do not efficiently degrade H₂O₂. The reported analytic method, associated to precipitation experiments of copper-containing amyloid peptides, allows to study the inhibition of H₂O₂ production by chelators. The action of a ligand such as EDTA is probably due to the removal of the copper ions from Aβ · Cu_n, whereas bidentate ligands such as 8-hydroxyquinolines probably act via the formation of ternary complexes with Aβ · Cu_n. The redox activity of these bidentate ligands can be modulated by the incorporation or the modification of substituents on the quinoline heterocycle.
