二烯丙基二硫对荷S180肉瘤小鼠的辐射增敏效应

研究大蒜素重要活性成分二烯丙基二硫(Diallyl disulfide,DADS)对荷S180肉瘤小鼠的辐射增敏效应。利用X射线对荷瘤小鼠全身辐照。测量肿瘤体积、重量;检测肿瘤组织中细胞凋亡及Bcl-2、Bax、caspase-3等凋亡因子的表达。同时测定了DADS对S180细胞增殖及细胞内活性氧(reactive oxygen species,ROS)的影响。结果显示:与对照组、单纯药物组及单纯辐照组相比,DADS联合辐照组小鼠的肿瘤体变小、重量减轻(P<0.01);肿瘤组织中TUNEL阳性细胞增多(P<0.01);Bax、caspase-3表达增强,而Bcl-2表达减弱。此外,DADS引起了S180细胞内大量ROS的产生。结果提示DADS对荷S180肉瘤小鼠具有辐射增敏效应,其机制与上调Bax、Caspase-3、下调Bcl-2表达及诱导肿瘤细胞产生ROS有关。

Inactivation of Lactobacillus Bacteriophage PL-1 by Microwave Irradiation

The effect of microwave irradiation on the survival of bacteriophage PL-1, which is specific for Lactobacillus casei, was studied using a commercial 2,450 MHz microwave oven. The phages were inactivated by microwave irradiation according to almost first-order reaction kinetics. The rate of phage inactivation was not affected by the difference in the continuous or intermittent irradiation, nor by the concentrations of phages used, but was affected by the volume of phage suspensions, which prevented the loss of generated heat. Microwave irradiation of phage suspensions produced a number of ghost phages with empty heads, but fragmentation of the tail was hardly noticed. The breakage of phage genome DNA was primarily caused by the heat generated by microwave irradiation, whereas the phage DNA was not affected by the same temperature achieved by heat from outside. Thus we concluded that the phage-inactivating effect of microwave irradiation was mainly attributed to a thermal microwave effect, which was much stronger than a simple thermal exposure.     

The Convenient Synthesis of Unsaturated Nucleoside Analogues in Water under Microwave Irradiation

A convenient method for the regioselective synthesis of unsaturated nucleoside analogs in water under microwave irradiation was developed. All pyrimidine and purine nucleoside derivatives were exclusively alkylated at N1 and N9 respectively in good to excellent yields. In addition, this system could tolerate a broad range of functional groups, such as chloro, bromo, iodo, alkyl, amino, and hydroxyl groups. More importantly, the reaction scale could be enlarged to 50 mmol which made this route attractive for industrial application.

The relative rates of singlet‐oxygen production from the diselenide‐linked porphyrin dimers upon photoirradiation were also measured.     

Regioselective Disulfide Solid Phase Synthesis, Chemical Characterization and In Vitro Receptor Binding Activity of Equine Relaxin

In the equine industry, pregnancy loss during the third trimester constitutes a large percentage of fetal and neonatal mortality and represents a major financial loss and time investment for the breeder. Early identification of placental insufficiency would, in some cases, make it possible to sustain the pregnancy through medical intervention. Recent work suggests that relaxin is a valuable clinical tool for diagnosing placental insufficiency and monitoring treatment efficacy in mares. Relaxin is a polypeptide member of the insulin superfamily that consists of a two-chain structure and three disulfide bonds in a disposition identical to that of insulin. It is typically produced in the ovary during pregnancy and has primary roles in maintaining mammalian pregnancy and facilitating the delivery of the young via remodelling of the reproductive tract. The placenta is the primary source of relaxin in the mare during pregnancy. Its primary structure has been determined and shown to be the smallest of the known mammalian relaxins. It consists of a 20 residue A-chain and a 28-residue B-chain. To undertake detailed biophysical and biological characterization of the peptide, its chemical synthesis was undertaken using regioselective disulfide formation methods. The synthetic equine relaxin showed typical α-helical structure under physiological conditions. The peptide was found to bind to the relaxin receptor, LGR7, in vitro, and its binding affinity was found to be higher than that of the “gold standard”, porcine relaxin, and similar to that of the human relaxin-2 (H2 relaxin).

Diethyldithiodicarbonate (DDD), a cheap and easily prepared compound, is found to be a rapid and efficient sulfurizing reagent in solid phase synthesis of phosphorothioate oligodeoxyribonucleotides via the phosphoramidite approach. Product yield and quality based on IP-LC-MS compares well with high quality oligonucleotides synthesized using phenylacetyl disulfide (PADS) which is being used for manufacture of our antisense drugs.
