不良孕产夫妇着丝粒-动粒复合体的细胞遗传学研究

为研究不良孕产夫妇染色体着丝粒-动粒复合体(centromerekinetochorecomplex,CKC)变异与不良孕产的相关性,探索不良孕产中非整倍体形成的细胞遗传学基础,应用改良的着丝粒点-核仁组织区(Cd-NOR)同步银染技术,分别对53对不明原因的不良孕产夫妇和57对已生育正常儿的正常夫妇外周血淋巴细胞染色体CKC变异类型及频率进行研究和分析.结果发现,不良孕产夫妇其小Cd、Cd消失、Cd迟滞和Cd-NOR融合频率均较正常对照组明显增高,两者相比有显著性差异(P＜0.05).CKC变异频率增高可能是导致不良孕产非整倍体形成的主要原因之一。 Abstract:To search the cytogenctic mechanism of adverse pregnancy,a study was carried out on 110 couples,57 of them with unexplained adverse pregnancy and 57 served as a control.A technique for the simultaneous staining of both nucleolar organizer regions and kinetochores of human chromosomes with silver was used.The results showed that the variations of chromosomal centromere kinetochore complex (CKC) in couples with adverse pregnancy were significantly high than of the control.The variations of CKC may be the main reason for the chromosomal nondisjunction during meiosis that is attributed to the adverse pregnancy.     

Revealing the Circadian Rhythm of Taliang Crocodile Newt(Liangshantriton taliangensis) During Breeding Migration Using a Novel Monitoring Technique

Many animals migrate during the breeding season. It is important to study the patterns of breeding migration of wild animals, especially rare and endangered species. However, current data acquisition methods are too coarse and imprecise for investigating the circadian rhythms of migrations in amphibians. Based on the frustrated total reflection image(FTRI), we developed a new device and recorded the precise migration time of an endangered salamander, Liangshantriton taliangensis.During the breed...

miRNA-711-SP1-collagen-I pathway is involved in the anti-fibrotic effect of pioglitazone in myocardial infarction

Although microRNAs(miRNAs) have been intensively studied in cardiac fibrosis,their roles in drug-mediated anti-fibrotic therapy are still unknown.Previously,Pioglitazone attenuated cardiac fibrosis and increased miR-711 experimentally.We aimed to explore the role and mechanism of miR-711 in pioglitazone-treated myocardial infarction in rats.Our results showed that pioglitazone significantly reduced collagen-I levels and increased miR-711 expression in myocardial infarction heart.Pioglitazone increased the expression of miR-711 in cardiac fibroblasts,and overexpression of miR-711 suppressed collagen-I levels in angiotensin II(Ang II)-treated or untreated cells.Transfection with antagomir-711 correspondingly abolished the pioglitazone-induced reduction in collagen-I levels.Bioinformatics analysis identified SP1,which directly promotes collagen-I synthesis,as the putative target of miR-711.This was confirmed by luciferase assay and western blot analysis.Additionally,increased SP1 expression was attenuated by pioglitazone in myocardial infarction heart.Furthermore,transfection of antagomir-711 attenuated pioglitazone-reduced SP1 expression in cardiac fibroblasts with or without Ang II stimulation.We conclude that pioglitazone up-regulated miR-711 to reduce collagen-I levels in rats with myocardial infarction.The miR-711-SP1-collagen-I pathway may be involved in the anti-fibrotic effects of pioglitazone.Our findings may provide new strategies for miRNA-based anti-fibrotic drug research.

一种改良的鱼类染色体富集制片方法

运用淋巴细胞分离液处理黄鳝肾脏细胞悬浮液后,成功地分离了其中红细胞和淋巴细胞。以富集的淋巴细胞进行染色体制片,可避免有核红细胞的影响,获得高分裂指数的黄鳝染色体标本。该方法简便、结果稳定,亦适用于其他鱼类、两栖类和鸟类的染色体制片。 Abstract：After treated by the lymphocyte separation medium, the erythrocytes and lymphocytes were separated successfully in the kidney cells suspension of rice field eel. Using the enriched lymphocytes to prepare chromosome, we get the high split-index chromosome preparations without the interference of the erythrocytes. This technique is simple and convenient to prepare the chromosome of other fishes or other animals for FISH.     

Androgen action on hepatic vitellogenin synthesis in the eel, Anguilla japonica is suppressed by an androgen receptor antagonist

Involvement of additional hormones other than estrogen in the control of vitellogenin (Vg) synthesis has been suggested in fish. However, no satisfactory explanation on the mechanism of the action of these hormones has been reported. In this study, we have exploited the possibility of androgen receptor mediation during the androgen action on the pathway of Vg synthesis. Hepatocytes were prepared from sexually immature Japanese eel Anguilla japonica and treated with estradiol-17beta (E2), 17alpha-methyltestosterone (MT), growth hormone, tamoxifen or flutamide, or in combination of these. Spent culture media were analysed by SDS-PAGE for Vg detection. Results from the chemical treatments demonstrated the necessity of E2 as the primary factor for Vg synthesis and requirement of additional hormones for the full expression of Vg. The effects of E2 and MT were effectively blocked by tamoxifen, an estrogen receptor antagonist and flutamide, an androgen receptor antagonist, respectively, indicating ER-mediated estrogen action and AR-mediated androgen action on Vg synthesis in this species.     

SOME LOWER ORDOVICIAN GASTROPODS FROM ZHUOZISHAN DISTRICT,INNER MONGOLIA

The material upon which this paper is based was collected by Messrs. S. C. Kwan and S. T.Che from the Zhuozishan limestone in southwestern part of Inner Mongolia during their fieldinvestigation in 1953. A part of specimens were procured by Messrs. Y. H. Lu, A. T. Mu andJ. T. Chang from the same district in 1954. The lower Ordovician strata of the Zhuozishan region was divided by Messrs. S. C. Kwanand S. T. Che (1955, Acta Geological Sinica, vol. 35, no. 2, p. 98--101) into three parts,namely: the Sandaokan formation in the lower part, the Zhuozishan limestone in the middle partand the Klimli limestones in the upper part. The gastropods are largely procured from theZhuozishan limestone. This limestone series consists mainly of greyish blue, massive limestons     

大鳞副泥鳅ZZ/ZW型性别决定的细胞遗传学证据

大鳞副泥鳅是鲤形目、鳅科的鱼类。其2n数为48,核型组成为12m+4sm+32 t(雄性),11m+5sm+32t(雌性)。根据银染带和C带特征分析,证实大鳞副泥鳅为ZZ/ZW型性别决定。Z染色体为中部着丝粒染色体,在其长臂端部有Ag -NOR存在。 W染色体为亚中部着丝粒染色体,在其长臂末端也有Ag-NOR存在,同时还有一深染的居间C带,这是W染色体独有的带纹特征。 Abstract:Paramisgurnus dabryanus belongs to Cypriniformes,Cobitidae.Its 2n is 48.The karyotype formula is 12m+4sm+32t(in male),11m+5sm+32t(in female).According to the Ag-NORs band and C-band patterns,we consider that its sex determination is of ZZ/ZW type.The Z chromosome is a metacentric one with Ag-NORs located on its arm end.The W chromosome is a submetacentric with Ag-NORs located on the terminal of its long arm.There is a darkly stained C-band on the long arm of W chromosome.This band is a characteric of the W chromosome.

本文研究了红鳍鲅、青稍红鲅、蒙古红鲅、翘嘴红鲅、CAN条、团头鲂和长春鳊等7种鲅亚科鱼类的银染带。结果表明,在中期分裂相中各自的A g-NORs数在4-8个之间。综合分析比较国内已发表的鲤科银染资料,得出多数中国鲤科鱼类的Ag-NORs数为4位于两对sm染色体短臂端部。鲅亚科鱼在进化过程中NORs数目有增加的趋势。 Abstract:The Ag-NORs of 7 species in Abramidinae,namely Culter erythropterus,Erythroculter dabryi,E.ilishaeformis,E.mongolicus,Hemiculter leucisclus,Megalobrama amblycephala and Parabramis pekinensis were studied.The results showed that 4~8 Ag-NORs were observed in their metaphases respectively.Based on the Ag-NORs data of Cyprinid fishes published in China,we suggested that the number of Ag-NORs in major Chinese Cyprinidae is 4,locating on the short arm tips of two pairs smchromosomes.The trend of Ag-NORs number in Abramidinae fishes is towards increasing in course of evolution.
