镉锌复合污染对龙葵苗期生长和镉锌累积特性的影响

采用营养液培养法研究了苗期龙葵(Solanumnigrum L.)对镉锌复合污染的反应及其对镉锌的吸收和积累特性.结果表明:(1)高浓度镉(200μmol·L-1)、锌(500μmol·L-1)胁迫使苗期龙葵植株生长受到严重抑制,但低浓度镉锌复合处理的部分植株生物量甚至超过了对照.(2)添加锌对苗期龙葵地上部镉积累有显著的影响(P<0.05);当锌浓度为100μmol·L-1时,镉积累量达到峰值,其中的100Cd/100Znμmol·L-1处理组合的镉积累量为所有处理中的最大值(地上部积累量高达171.31μg·plant-1);当锌浓度增加到500μmol·L-1时,植株体内镉积累量则呈现下降趋势.(3)添加镉对苗期龙葵地上部锌积累也有显著的影响(P<0.05);当镉浓度达50μmol·L-1时,根、茎、叶中锌积累量均达到最高值;当镉浓度为200μmol·L-1时,各处理单株地上部锌积累量最低.(4)从植株整体的镉、锌积累量来看,苗期龙葵地上部镉积累量最高达根系的14.67倍,而其锌积累量最高达根系的13.59倍.研究发现,龙葵幼苗根系、茎和叶中镉、锌含量随营养液中镉、锌浓度的增加而显著增加(P<0.05);添加锌在一定程度上缓解了镉对苗期龙葵的毒害效应,低浓度锌还可以提高植株对镉的吸收和积累;添加镉在一定程度上增强了植株对锌的耐受性和吸收富集能力;植株地上部的镉、锌积累量明显高于根系.     

二苯乙烯苷通过上调XIAP抑制人脐静脉内皮细胞凋亡

目的:二苯乙烯苷(2,3,5,4′-tetrahydroxystilbene-2-O-β-D-glucoside,TSG)具有抗炎、抗氧化、抗动脉粥样硬化(atherosclerosis,As)等作用。课题组前期研究表明TSG对过氧化氢(H2O2)诱导损伤的内皮细胞具有保护作用,并抑制内皮细胞的凋亡,但机制尚未完全明确。本研究目的在于探讨TSG是否通过影响X连锁凋亡抑制蛋白(X-linked inhibitor of apoptosis protein,XIAP)、Caspase-9的表达来抑制细胞凋亡。方法:体外培养人脐静脉内皮细胞,实验分为正常对照组、模型组(300μmol·L-1H2O2)、TSG预处理组(10μmol·L-1TSG+300μmol·L-1H2O2)、Embelin与TSG联合处理组(30μmol·L-1Embelin+10μmol·L-1TSG+300μmol·L-1H2O2)、TSG单独处理组(10μmol·L-1TSG)、Embelin组(30μmol·L-1Embelin)。采用MTT法检测细胞增殖率,Hoechst 33258染色观察凋亡细胞核形态,RT-PCR和Western blot检测XIAP、Caspase-9的表达。结果:与空白对照组相比,H2O2组内皮细胞增殖率降低,核损伤明显,XIAP表达显著性下降,Caspase-9表达显著增加(P0.01);与H2O2组比较,经TSG预处理后,细胞增殖率增加,核损伤减轻,XIAP的表达上升,Caspase-9表达减少,差异均有显著性(P0.01)。与TSG预处理组比较,用XIAP阻断剂Embelin与TSG联合处理后,内皮细胞活力下降,XIAP表达显著降低,Caspase-9表达增加(P0.01)。结论:TSG具有抑制H2O2诱导的人脐静脉内皮细胞凋亡作用,其机制与增加XIAP的表达,抑制Caspase-9的表达有关。     

Ce^3+和La^3+对人工老化沙葱种子活力及生理特性的影响

以未老化和人工老化后的沙葱(Allium mongolicum Regel.)种子为材料,采用氯化铈(Ce3+)和氯化镧(La3+)浸种,测定种子萌发和生理指标,探讨Ce3+和La3+浸种对种子萌发、老化种子活力和生理特性的影响。结果显示:(1)在老化0~5 h时,Ce3+和La3+处理可显著促进沙葱种子萌发,提高种子活力;在老化5 h后,Ce3+和La3+处理对种子萌发无明显促进作用。(2)在老化0~15 h时,Ce3+和La3+处理的沙葱种子中抗氧化酶活性和抗坏血酸(AsA)含量提高,其超氧阴离子自由基(O2-·)产生速率、过氧化氢(H2O2)含量和丙二醛(MDA)含量显著降低;在老化15 h后,Ce3+和La3+处理的种子抗氧化酶活性提高、AsA含量降低,O2-·产生速率和MDA含量提高。(3)在老化5 h时,沙葱种子呼吸速率发生跃变达到最大,Ce3+和La3+处理显著降低了种子呼吸速率。(4)Ce3+和La3+处理在老化0~5 h时提高了沙葱种子超弱发光(UWL)强度,但在老化5 h后沙葱种子的UWL强度降低。研究认为,在沙葱种子人工老化初期,Ce3+和La3+浸种处理可以诱导增强种子抗氧化酶活性和提高AsA含量,有效清除因老化产生积累的过量活性氧(ROS),减轻过氧化伤害,提高种子活力;种子老化中后期,其内部ROS产生与清除系统发生紊乱,加剧了ROS对种子结构的损伤,Ce3+和La3+浸种处理的缓解效应丧失。     

Direct photoaffinity labeling of the primary region of the ouabain binding site of (Na+ + K+)-ATPase with [3H]ouabain, [3H]digitoxin and [3H]digitoxigenin

The tritiated cardiotonic steroids, ouabain, digitoxin, and digitoxigenin are shown to photolabel the large polypeptide but not the glycoprotein or proteolipid component of the (Na⁺ + K⁺)-ATPase when they are bound to the inhibitory site and exposed to light of 220 or 254 nm. The extent of photolabeling is low, less than 1%, and is limited by photocross-linking of the enzyme. The mechanism of photoincorporation does not appear to be either photolysis of the lactone ring in ouabain or photolysis of tryptophan or tyrosine residues in the polypeptide.     

Comparative abilities of lanthanide ions La3+ and Tb3+ to substitute for Ca2+ in regulating phospholipid-sensitive Ca2+-dependent protein kinase and myosin light chain kinase

Although lanthanide ions La³⁺ and Tb³⁺ were only slightly able to substitute for Ca²⁺ to activate phospholipid-sensitive Ca²⁺-dependent protein kinase (PL-Ca-PK), they potentiated the ability of a suboptimal concentration of Ca²⁺ to stimulate the enzyme. In comparison, the lanthanides were much more effective Ca²⁺ substitutes for myosin light chain kinase, a calmodulin-sensitive Ca²⁺-dependent protein kinase. Both enzymes, however, were inhibited by high concentrations of lanthanides either in the presence or absence of Ca²⁺. Similar effects of the lanthanides were also noted on phosphorylation of endogeneous substrates in the particulate fraction of rat brain stimulated by either phosphatidylserine/Ca²⁺ or calmodulin/Ca²⁺. The La³⁺- or Tb³⁺-stimulated activity of PL-Ca-PK, as the Ca²⁺-stimulated activity, was inhibited by various agents, such as trifluoperazine, polymyxin B, cobra cytotoxin I, melittin, and spermine.     

Ca2+ dependence and La3+ interference of ultraviolet radiationinduced K+ efflux from rose cells

A low fluence of ultraviolet radiation (UV) causes cultured cells of Rosa damascena Mill cv. Gloire de Guilan to lose intracellular K⁺. This effect required the presence of Ca²⁺ in the medium. A reduction in the concentration of free Ca²⁺ to 10⁻⁵ M with ethyleneglycol-bis-(β-aminoethyl-ether)-N.N.N',N'-tetraacetic acid (EGTA) buffer inhibited the UV-stimulated efflux; this was correlated with a discharge of the membrane potential and a stimulation of the leakage of K⁺ from unirradiated cells. All the same effects were seen with La³⁺ at 0.2 m M. At 0.02 m M La³⁺, the UV-stimulated efflux of K⁺ was blocked without concomitant effects on the membrane potential or K⁺ efflux from control cells. It is suggested that removal of Ca²⁺ blocks or masks the UV-induced leakage of K⁺ by destabilizing the plasma membrane. In addition, La³⁺ may specifically inhibit the UV-stimulated opening of K⁺ or anion channels.     

Interaction of Ca2+ with (Na+ + K+)-ATPase: Properties of the Ca2+-stimulated phosphatase activity

Ca²⁺ inhibited the Mg²⁺-dependent and K⁺-stimulated p-nitrophenylphosphatase activity of a highly purified preparation of dog kidney (Na⁺ + K⁺)-ATPase. In the absence of K⁺, however, a Mg²⁺-dependent and Ca²⁺-stimulated phosphatase was observed, the maximal velocity of which, at pH 7.2, was about 20% of that of the K⁺-stimulated phosphatase. The Ca²⁺-stimulated phosphatase, like the K⁺-stimulated activity, was inhibited by either ouabain or Na⁺ or ATP. Ouabain sensitivity was decreased with increase in Ca²⁺, but the K_0.5 values of the inhibitory effects of Na⁺ and ATP were independent of Ca²⁺ concentration. Optimal pH was 7.0 for Ca²⁺-stimulated activity, and 7.8–8.2 for the K⁺-stimulated activity. The ratio of the two activities was the same in several enzyme preparations in different states of purity. The data indicate that (a) Ca²⁺-stimulated phosphatase is catalyzed by (Na⁺ + K⁺)-ATPase; (b) there is a site of Ca²⁺ action different from the site at which Ca²⁺ inhibits in competition with Mg²⁺; and (c) Ca²⁺ stimulation can not be explained easily by the action of Ca²⁺ at either the Na⁺ site or the K⁺ site.     

Mechanisms by which Li+ stimulates the (Na++K+)-dependent ATPase

The addition of LiCl stimulated the (Na⁺+K⁺)-dependent ATPase activity of a rat brain enzyme preparation. Stimulation was greatest in high Na⁺/low K⁺ media and at low Mg. ATP concentrations. Apparent affinities for Li⁺ were estimated at the α-sites (moderate-affinity sites for K⁺ demonstrable in terms of activation of the associated K⁺-dependent phosphatase reaction), at the β-sites (high-affinity sites for K⁺ demonstrable in terms of activation of the overall ATPase reaction), and at the Na⁺ sites for activation. The relative efficacy of Li⁺ was estimated in terms of the apparent maximal velocity of the phosphatase and ATPase reactions when Li⁺ was substituted for K⁺, and also in terms of the relative effect of Li⁺ on the apparent K_M for Mg· ATP. With these data, and previously determined values for the apparent affinities of K⁺ and Na⁺ at these same sites, quantitative kinetic models for the stimulation were examined. A composite model is required in which Li⁺ stimulates by relieving inhibition due to K⁺ and Na⁺ (i) by competing with K⁺ for the α-sites on the enzyme through which K⁺ decreases the apparent affinity for Mg·ATP and (ii) by competing with Na⁺ at low-affinity inhibitory sites, which may represent the external sites at which Na⁺ is discharged by the membrane NA⁺/K⁺ pump that this enzyme represents. Both these sites of action for Li⁺ would thus lie, in vivo, on the cell exterior.     

The crystal and molecular structure of [Co(NH3)5PO4]·3H2O,a Na+-K+ ATPase probe

The title compound, Co(NH₃)₅PO₄, prepared by a modified literature procedure, was used to study the inhibition of Na⁺-K⁺ ATPase and to serve as a structural model for ML₄(nucleotide) complexes. The structure was determined by single crystal X-ray diffraction techniques. The crystals are monoclinic, space group P2₁/n, a = 8.638(3), b = 14.517(2), c = 9.145(2) Å, and β = 112.71(2)°. The structure, solved by the heavy atom method to an R value of 3.3% for 1924 reflections, consists of a slightly distorted octahedron with the cobalt bound to the five amines and a monodentate phosphate. Solution structural data is taken from ³¹P NMR measurements. From comparison with other metal phosphate complexes it is concluded that multiple monodentate coordination of a di- or triphosphate closely resembles the coordination of a monophosphate This is based on the similarity of the MO bond angle which is 129.6° in the present example.     

Kinetic studies on the (Na+ + K+)-dependent ATPase. Evidence for coexisting sites for Na+, K+ and Mg2+

Na⁺-ATPase activity of a dog kidney (Na⁺ + K⁺)-ATPase enzyme preparation was inhibited by a high concentration of NaCl (100 mM) in the presence of 30 μM ATP and 50 μM MgCl₂, but stimulated by 100 mM NaCl in the presence of 30 μM ATP and 3 mM MgCl₂. The $\text{K}{}_{0.5}$ for the effect of MgCl₂ was near 0.5 mM. Treatment of the enzyme with the organic mercurial thimerosal had little effect on Na⁺-ATPase activity with 10 mM NaCl but lessened inhibition by 100 mM NaCl in the presence of 50 μM MgCl₂. Similar thimerosal treatment reduced (Na⁺ + K⁺)-ATPase activity by half but did not appreciably affect the $\text{K}{}_{0.5}$ for activation by either Na⁺ or K⁺, although it reduced inhibition by high Na⁺ concentrations. These data are interpreted in terms of two classes of extracellularly-available low-affinity sites for Na⁺: Na⁺-discharge sites at which Na⁺-binding can drive E₂-P back to E₁-P, thereby inhibiting Na⁺-ATPase activity, and sites activating E₂-P hydrolysis and thereby stimulating Na⁺-ATPase activity, corresponding to the K⁺-acceptance sites. Since these two classes of sites cannot be identical, the data favor co-existing Na⁺-discharge and K⁺-acceptance sites. Mg²⁺ may stimulate Na⁺-ATPase activity by favoring E₂-P over E₁-P, through occupying intracellular sites distinct from the phosphorylation site or Na⁺-acceptance sites, perhaps at a coexisting low-affinity substrate site. Among other effects, thimerosal treatment appears to stimulate the Na⁺-ATPase reaction and lessen Na⁺-inhibition of the (Na⁺ + K⁺)-ATPase reaction by increasing the efficacy of Na⁺ in activating E₂-P hydrolysis.     

Effects of NH+4-N and NO+3-N on growth and metabolism of Sphagnum magellanicum

Photosynthetic CO₂-fixation, chlorophyll content, growth rate and nitrate reductase activity were used to examine the influence of NH⁺₄-N and NO⁻₃-N on Sphagnum magellanicum cultivated under defined conditions in phytotrons. NO⁻₃-concentrations up to 322 μ M were found to be favourable. Increased NH⁺₄ concentrations, however, resulted in growth inhibition and decreased chlorophyll content at concentrations ≧ 255 μ M ; e.g. 600 μ M NH⁺₄ caused a 20% reduction of nitrate reductase activity and net photosynthesis. For raised bog Sphagna an improved standard nutrient solution is proposed with the following ion concentrations (μ M ): 55 Na⁺; 17 K⁺; 95 NH⁺₄; 22 Ca²⁺; 22 Mg²⁺; 2 Fe³⁺; 20 Cl⁻; 100 NO⁻₃; 57 SO^2-₄; 7.4 H₂PO⁻₄; trace elements: A-Z solution (Hoagland) 50 μl 1000 ml⁻¹; pH 5.8.
