基于Voronoi图的丹顶鹤巢址空间格局分析

依据1996年、2003—2007年扎龙保护区丹顶鹤巢址数据,利用Voronoi图理论,分析了巢址的空间分布特征,计算了其拓扑指数—Voronoi图面积。结果表明,丹顶鹤巢址空间分布具有明显的空间聚类特征。以扎龙保护区的2006年巢址、居民点、国道和铁路为对象,构成其Voronoi图,较好地说明了人类活动对丹顶鹤巢址的空间格局的影响,研究结果对丹顶鹤栖息地的保护将起到重要作用。     

益生菌对调节脑梗死后大鼠运动功能的机制研究

探讨在脑梗死后康复期使用益生菌治疗促进大鼠运动功能恢复的机制。

成年雄性SPF级7～8周龄Wistar大鼠,体重200～250 g,共35只。25只大鼠颅内注射内皮素制作脑缺血模型,模型制作后5只大鼠死亡,剩余20只大鼠按照随机数表法分为缺血组（ISC组）和缺血+益生菌组（ISC+PB组）,每组10只。另外10只大鼠作为假手术组（SHAM组）。SHAM组大鼠仅使用生理盐水按照上述造模流程进行。各组均喂食普通大鼠饲料。ISC+PB组大鼠第7天开始使用益生菌VSL#3溶液进行灌胃,0.25 mL/(只•d)。采用原位末端转移酶标记（TdT-mediated dUTP nick-end labeling,TUNEL）凋亡试剂盒检测凋亡细胞。采用蛋白质免疫印迹法检测各组大鼠海马与梗死周边皮层脑源性神经营养因子（brain derived neurotrophic factor,BDNF）的蛋白水平变化。使用梯形平衡木测试大鼠的肢体运动功能。

ISC组大鼠TUNEL阳性细胞数量较SHAM组显著增多（t=3.278,P=0.016）,ISC+PB组大鼠的TUNEL阳性细胞数量低于ISC组（t=2.721,P=0.037）。ISC组大鼠海马与梗死周边BDNF蛋白表达水平高于SHAM组（t=2.012,P=0.032）,ISC+PB组大鼠海马与梗死周边皮层BDNF水平较ISC组进一步提高（t=1.892,P=0.021）。梯形平衡木行走实验显示ISC组大鼠产生明显的运动功能损伤（t=3.425,P=0.041）,而ISC+PB组错误率低于ISC组（t=4.131,P=0.024）。

脑梗死后益生菌通过调控BDNF水平,抑制细胞凋亡,改善运动功能。

     

Increment of hFIX expression with endogenous intron 1 in Vitro

This paper probes into the feasibility of increasing expression level of hFIX gene with endogenous intron 1 sequence.hFIX minigene was obtained with middle sequence truncated intron 1 inserted into the relative site of hFIX cDNA,and plasmid vector pKG5i‘IX,retroviral vector G1NaCi‘IX were constructed.These vectors were transduced into target cells of PA317,C2C12,primary rabbit skin fibroblasts (RSF) and primary human skin fibroblasts (HSF).The expression level of mixed colonies are PA317/pKG5i‘IX,151 ng/10^6 cells/24h;PA317/G1NaCi‘IX,308 ng/10^6 cells/24 h;C2C12/G1NaCi‘IX,186 ng/10^6 cells/24 h;RSF/G1NaCi‘IX,1929 ng/10^6 cells/24 h;HSF/G1NaCi‘IX,1646 ng/10^6 cells/24 h.These results indicated that hFIX minigene with intron l is able to increase the expression level to about 3 times of that of hFIX cDNA.Meanwhile,in order to study the application of hFIX minigene in the retroviral-mediated gene transfer system and refrain from intron splicing during viral production,a retroviral vector G1NaCi‘IXR with reversely inserted hFIX minigene expression cassette was constructed.The expression level of reverse constructor in PA317 cells was 390 ng/10^6 cells/24 h with 79% of bioactivity.PCR detection of HT/G1NaCi‘IXR cells infected with PA317/G1NaCi‘IXR supernatant confirmed the existence of intron 1 sequence.These results suggested that expression vector with forward-inserted intronl-carrying hFIX expression cassette can be used in directed gene transfer,but when using the retroviral-mediated gene transfer system,reversely-inserted intronl-carrying hFIX expression cassette should be considered.

马铃薯糖转运蛋白基因的克隆及表达分析

植物SWEET基因家族是一类糖转运蛋白,在植物的生理活动和生长发育过程中发挥着重要功能。为了解马铃薯SWEET基因的相关信息,探究其在马铃薯不同组织以及在生物胁迫与非生物胁迫下的表达特性。该研究采用同源克隆技术从马铃薯‘青薯9号’中克隆了StSWEET5基因(GenBank登录号为MN295671),其CDS序列长度为717 bp,编码238个氨基酸。系统进化树分析结果表明,StSWEET5与番茄的氨基酸序列相似性最高(97.06%)。qRT-PCR分析表明:StSWEET5基因在马铃薯各组织(根、茎、叶、花、块茎、匍匐茎)中均有表达,且在花中的表达显著高于其他组织;糖胁迫下,StSWEET5基因在根、茎、叶中均有表达,尤其在根中的表达差异最为显著(P0.05)。在晚疫病菌(Phytophthora infestans)诱导后36 h时,表达量达到最高,随后急剧下调。推测StSWEET5基因参与了马铃薯糖胁迫以及响应了晚疫病诱导的过程。

Simple Pseudo-dipeptides with a P2' Glutamate: A NOVEL INHIBITOR FAMILY OF MATRIX METALLOPROTEASES AND OTHER METZINCINS

A series of pseudo-peptides with general formula X-l-Glu-NH(2) (with X corresponding to an acyl moiety with a long aryl-alkyl side chain) have been synthesized, evaluated as inhibitors of matrix metalloproteases (MMPs), and found to display remarkable nanomolar affinity. The loss in potency associated with a substitution of the P(2)' l-glutamate by a l-glutamine corroborates the importance of a carboxylate at this position. The binding mode of some of these inhibitors was characterized in solution and by x-ray crystallography in complex with various MMPs. The x-ray crystal structures reveal an unusual binding mode with the glutamate side chain chelating the active site zinc ion. Competition experiments between these inhibitors and acetohydroxamic acid, a small zinc-binding molecule, are in accord with the crystallographic results. One of these pseudo-dipeptides displays potency and selectivity toward MMP-12 similar to the best MMP-12 inhibitors reported to date. This novel family of pseudo peptides opens new opportunities to develop potent and selective inhibitors for several metzincins.
