络合型含铁材料对砷胁迫下水稻生理生化特性及砷累积的影响

土壤重金属与农产品质量息息相关.本研究通过设置砷胁迫条件下水稻种植盆栽试验,分析络合型含铁材料不同施用时期和不同施用量对水稻SPAD值、抗氧化酶(SOD、POD、CAT)活性以及水稻砷吸收、累积的影响.结果表明,砷胁迫对水稻SOD、POD、CAT活性有着不同程度的抑制作用,添加络合型含铁材料可以降低水稻MDA含量,缓解砷对水稻光合作用和SOD、POD、CAT活性的抑制;同时能减少水稻对土壤砷的吸收和累积.与移栽前添加络合型含铁材料相比,选择水稻孕穗期前添加络合型含铁材料,水稻砷吸收的抑制效果较好;水稻植株地上部砷含量与络合型含铁材料的添加浓度呈显著负相关,孕穗期前添加0.2 g·kg-1络合型含铁材料对水稻植株砷的吸收抑制效果最好,水稻植株地上部砷含量降低59.22%.     

Windows操作系统下二代测序数据处理平台的建立及高通量信息分析标准流程在个人计算机上的实现

当前二代测序数据的处理广泛使用基于标准版本的Linux操作系统分析方法。这一系统专业性强,成本较高,操作界面不够友好,严重限制了大多数科研人员对数据的自主分析。本文创建了一个基于微软Windows操作系统的全功能二代测序数据的生物信息学分析系统,利用该系统经优选实现当前多种高通量测序数据的主流标准化分析流程。通过RNA-Seq的代表性案例,演算实测数据与传统Linux系统驱动的数据分析结果相比较,结果显示,本系统的组件和流程在常用的数据分析过程中,可以基本取代目前主流的Linux服务器或云计算平台,在运行效率相近的情况下,其操作极为简便且成本大大降低。本系统与所配附的编译软件及流程脚本,不仅为测序数据的生物信息学分析实操演练提供全面的解决方案,而且可以直接应用于专业的测序数据分析中。     

普通野生稻线粒体蛋白质编码基因密码子使用偏好性的分析

以普通野生稻(Oryza rufipogon Griff.)线粒体基因组为对象,分析其蛋白质编码基因的密码子使用特征及与亚洲栽培稻(O. sativa L.)的差异,探讨其密码子偏性形成的影响因素和进化过程。结果显示:普通野生稻线粒体基因组编码序列第1、第2和第3位碱基的GC含量依次为49.18%、42.67%和40.86%;有效密码子数(Nc)分布于45.32～61.00之间,其密码子偏性较弱; Nc值仅与GC_3呈显著相关,密码子第3位的碱基组成对密码子偏性影响较大;第1向量轴上显示9.91%的差异,其与GC_3s、Nc、密码子偏好指数(CBI)和最优密码子使用频率(Fop)的相关性均达到显著水平;而GC_3和GC₁₂的相关性未达到显著水平。因此,普通野生稻线粒体基因组密码子的使用偏性主要受自然选择压力影响而形成。本研究确定了21个普通野生稻线粒体基因组的最优密码子,大多以A或T结尾,与叶绿体密码子具有趋同进化,但是与核基因组具有不同的偏好性。同义密码子相对使用度(RSCU)、PR2偏倚分析和中性绘图分析显示,普通野生稻线粒体基因功能和其密码子使用密切相关,且线粒体密码子使用在普通野生稻、粳稻(O. sativa L. subsp. japonica Kato)和籼稻(O. sativa L. subsp.indica Kato)内具有同质性。     

Characterization and the broad cross‐species applicability of 20 anonymous nuclear loci isolated from the Taiwan Hwamei (Garrulax taewanus)

We isolated 20 anonymous nuclear loci (8556 bp in total) from the Taiwan Hwamei (Garrulax taewanus), an endemic songbird of Taiwan. A panel of nine to 15 individuals with unknown relationship was used to characterize polymorphism of these loci. We identified 46 single nucleotide polymorphic sites (SNPs) in 15 polymorphic loci. Frequency of SNPs was one per every 186 bp in average. Nucleotide diversity, θ, ranged from 0.00054 to 0.00371 per locus. We also tested cross‐species applicability of these loci on 17 species from eight different passerine families. All 20 loci could be successfully amplified (ranged from one to 16 species, mean = 7.9 species).     

地塞米松当归多糖前体药在大鼠胃肠道内容物中的释药特性

目的:探讨以当归多糖为载体的地塞米松前体药在大鼠胃肠道内容物中的释药特性,考察其结肠靶向性。方法:将前体药与大鼠胃肠道不同部位内容物稀释液于37℃共同孵育,不同时间点取样,高效液相色谱法检测释放的地塞米松(dexamethasone, DEX)及地塞米松琥珀酸单酯(dexamethasone hemisuccinate,DSH)。结果:前体药在大鼠胃肠道各部位内容物稀释孵育液中均有DEX及DSH释放;DEX在小肠近端的释放量最大,在结肠和盲肠中的释放量次之,在胃和小肠远端的释放量较小;DSH在结肠和盲肠中的释放量大,在胃、小肠近端和小肠远端释放量小;在160min孵育时间时,DEX和DSH在结肠和盲肠中的释放总量是在胃、小肠近端和小肠远端释放总量的1．95倍。结论:以当归多糖为载体的地塞米松前体药具有一定的结肠靶向释药特性,有可能用作局部治疗结肠炎的结肠靶向药物。

细胞间隙连接通讯与肿瘤

由连接蛋白构成的细胞间隙连接通讯(GJIC)广泛存在于脊椎动物中,可以直接介导细胞间小分子物质的传递,而不需要通过细胞间质。GJIC与肿瘤密切相关,多数肿瘤GJIC能力降低或丧失,连接蛋白不表达或胞内定位,而恢复GJIC可以抑制肿瘤, GJIC已成为肿瘤预防与治疗研究的潜在靶点之一。

Correlation between haplotype of apolipoprotein B gene and natural longevity persons in Uygur Nationality

This paper investigated the correlation between polymorphisms and haplotypes in the apolipoprotein B (apoB) gene (SP-I/D, XbaI-RFLP, VNTR) and natural longevity persons among the Uygur people in Xin-jiang. For this purpose, 191 healthy Uygur individuals aged above 90 from Hetian area of Xinjiang were recruited, and another 53 persons aged 65—70 from the same nationality, the same region and with the same gender ratio, served as the control group. Genotyping was performed by PCR-SSP, PCR-RFLP and PCR-sequencing methods. Logistic regression analyses revealed that the frequencies of X X genotype, M and L alleles and the genetypes composed of M and L were significantly higher in the longevity group than in the control group. In haplotype analyses, we found that, in the long-lived people, the frequency of haplotypes composed of the X and M alleles was significantly higher whereas the frequency of haplotypes composed of the X- and S alleles was significantly lower (both P<0.05) I than those of their controls. These results indicated that the S allele, SS genotype and X -S, D-S, D-X -S haplotypes were the possible adverse factors, whereas the M, L alleles, X X , MM, ML, LL genotypes and I-X -M, X -M haplotypes were the possibe protective factors for the naturally long-lived Uygur people in China.     

Structure comparisons of Aedes albopictus densovirus with other parvoviruses

Parvoviridae is a family of the smallest viruses known with a wide variety of hosts. The capsid structure of the Aedes albopictus C6/36 cell densovirus (C6/36 DNV) at 1.2-nm resolution was obtained by elec-tron cryomicroscopy (cryoEM) and three-dimensional (3D) image reconstruction. Structure compari-sons between the C6/36 DNV and other parvoviruses reveal that the degree of structural similarity be-tween C6/36 DNV and the human parvovirus B19 is higher than that between C6/36 DNV and other in-sect parvoviruses. The amino acid sequence comparisons of structural and non-structural proteins also reveal higher levels of similarity between C6/36 DNV and parvovirus B19 than those between C6/36 DNV and other parvoviruses. These findings indicate that C6/36 DNV is closely related to the human virus B19, and the former might evolve from the human species other than from other insect viruses.
