猪卵巢体外保存温度对卵母细胞染色质构型和成熟能力的影响

Most porcine oocytes used in studies on embryo biotechnology and the in vitro production of embryos are currently obtained from the ovaries of slaughtered gilts. The duration and temperature during ovary transportation and handling might, therefore, affect the recovery of culturable COCs, chromatin configuration and developmental competence of oocytes. The effects of ovary storage temperature on chromatin configuration and in vitro maturation of porcine oocytes were examined in this study. Ovaries collected from a slaughterhouse were stored in vitro for 8 h under different temperatures. The results showed that more culturable COCs were isolated from the ovares stored at 39℃ than that from ovaries stored at 31℃ or 20℃ and before storage. Thirty-one centidegree was the best storage temperature in terms of cumulus expansion, nuclear maturation and morphology of the first polar body after in vitro maturation culture. The ability of cumulus expansion was completely lost in COCs derived from ovaries stored at 39℃ for 8 hours. Ovary storage （at both 31℃ and at 20℃ ） increased the proportion of oocytes with the GVc configuration in which chromatin condensed into a single big clump at the nucleolus and the functional significance of this configuration needs further investigations [ Acta Zoologica Sinica 51 （5）： 919 923, 2005].     

Male spike strobiles with Gnetum affinity from the Early Cretaceous in western Liaoning, Northeast China

A fossil with Gnetum affinity was found in the Jianshangou Member (Barremian Age) of the Yixian Formation (Lower Cretaceous Epoch) of the Jehol Group in western Liaoning, northeastern China. The single fossil specimen is represented by both elongate-cylindrical male spike strobiles which borne within a nodal bract of cauliflorous branch. The spike strobiles have apparent nodes, invisible internodes, and numerous verticillate involucral collars. The microsporangiate units within involucral collars are not seen. The male spike strobiles with verticillate involucral collars occur exclusively in Gnetum; hence, the fossil strobiles are attributed to a new taxon, Khitania columnispicata gen. & sp. nov., being closely related to Gnetum. The general isotopic dating suggests an age of Barremian, ca. 125-122 million years (Myr) ago for the Jianshangou Member. The palaeoecological and palaeoclimatic inference based on the compositions of flora and fauna, and lithological characters of the fossil locality suggests that the fossil plants grew in a subtropical mesophytic forest and under a warmer climate. The remains of male spike strobiles are the first record of gnetalean macrofossil. It documents the evolution of the distinct gnetoid morphology and indicates a wider range of distribution of Gnetaceae in the Early Cretaceous than present day.     

陕西省长武县土地利用变化的生态环境效应评价

通过对1988年9月15日的TM遥感影像、2000年5月19日的ETM遥感影像和2006年7月7日的ETM遥感影像解译,获取了长武县的土地利用图,根据中国陆地生态系统单位面积生态服务价值,求算出长武县的生态系统服务价值.结果表明:30年来,长武县的耕地面积随着"退耕还林"工程的推进有显著下降,林地面积则随着三北防护林建设工程的实施显著增加,未利用土地、水域和草地面积变化不大;长武县总体生态系统服务价值总量在逐年递增,从1988年的5.67×108元上升到2006年的5.72×108元,生态系统总体向健康方向发展.     

蒙古东戈壁盆地万利特凹陷特1井早白垩世孢粉组合

将东戈壁盆地万利特凹陷特1井划分为三个孢粉组合:1.Cicatricosisporites-Classopollis-Piceaepollenites-Piceites组合,2.Perinopollenites-Cycadopites-Pinaceae-Walchiites组合;3.Laevigatosporites-Lygodiaceae-Peri-nopollenites组合,根据孢粉组合特征推测第一个孢粉组合倾向于早白垩世最早期Berriasian期,但也不排除属于晚侏罗世的可能,第二个组合为早白垩世Berriasian-Valanginian期,第三个孢粉组合为早白垩世Hauterivian-Barremian期.     

玉米类受体蛋白激酶基因ZmLRRPK1的cDNA克隆与表达分析

富亮氨酸重复区的类受体蛋白激酶(LRR-RLKs)在植物对多种信号的响应中发挥作用。应用电子克隆的方法在玉米中克隆了一个LRR-RLKs类基因的全长cDNA,命名为ZmLRRPK1（GenBank接受号为EU873320）。推断的ZmLRRPK1蛋白含有594个氨基酸,分子量为66kDa,等电点pI为5.42,具有典型的LRR-RLKs结构域。半定量RT-PCR结果表明,在ABA、甘露醇和氯化钠的诱导下,ZmLRRPK1在玉米胚芽鞘中表达并在24 h内保持较高的转录水平。

EGCG对LPS刺激人肺腺癌A549细胞凋亡及CUGBP1蛋白表达的影响

目的:研究表没食子儿茶素-3-没食子酸酯(epigallocatechin-3-gallate,EGCG)对炎性刺激的人肺腺癌A549细胞增殖和凋亡的影响及与CUGBP1表达的关系。方法:MTT法检测EGCG和LPS刺激A549细胞增殖活性的影响;流式细胞仪检测细胞凋亡;免疫细胞化学检测EGCG对LPS刺激人肺腺癌A549细胞内CUGBP1蛋白的表达。结果:与对照组相比,LPS体外显著促进A549细胞增殖,其胞核胞质内CUGBP1表达明显增强(P0.01)。加入EGCG可拮抗LPS促A549细胞增殖的作用,促进其凋亡,明显抑制LPS刺激的A549细胞内CUGBP1的表达(P0.01)。CUGBP1蛋白定量分析可知EGCG和LPS共同孵育A549细胞4h、24h时,细胞中的CUGBP1蛋白表达量较单纯LPS作用时降低。但EGCG和LPS共同孵育A549细胞24h,A549细胞中胞核CUGBP1蛋白表达量(1210.565±3.46)较4h时胞核CUGBP1蛋白表达量(67.344±3.68)高,差异有统计学意义(t=927.164,P0.001)。结论:EGCG可能通过干扰CUGBP1基因的表达抑制炎症刺激人肺腺癌细胞A549的增殖,促进其凋亡。     

肿瘤干细胞标记物CD_(133)与miR-429在大肠癌组织中的表达及其相关性研究

目的:检测CD133不同亚群大肠癌细胞HT-29的miR-429表达情况,探讨miR-429及CD133的表达与肿瘤的发生发展之间的关系。方法:采用荧光活化细胞分选法(FACS)分选出CD133不同亚群细胞,实时荧光定量PCR分别检测两组细胞miR-429的表达,合成miR-429寡核苷酸和阴性对照miRNA并分别转染CD133+和CD133-两个亚群细胞。再将细胞种植于非肥胖糖尿病/严重联合免疫缺陷(NOD/SCID)小鼠体内构建移植瘤模型,不同时间测量肿瘤体积和重量,RT-PCR及蛋白质印迹检测CD133+和CD133-两组肿瘤CD133mRNA和蛋白质表达。结果:血清检出CD133+细胞为67.9%,miR-429的表达量是CD133+细胞的(1.83±0.91)倍(P0.05),CD133+比例与miR-429表达呈负相关(r=0.591,P0.05);miR-429+/CD133+组的移植瘤体积及重量与对照组比较有统计学差异(P0.05),且miR-429+/CD133+组成瘤时间较对照组晚约2周,但miR-429+/CD133+组的移植瘤CD133表达量低,与阴性对照组比较无明显差异(P0.05)。结论:miR-429可能作为CD133的负性调控因子,具有抑制肿瘤生长的作用,但miR-429与CD133在肿瘤发生、发展过程中的作用机制有待进一步研究阐明。
