低氧性肺动脉高压小鼠肺组织apoE蛋白表达的变化及其意义

目的：观察低氧性肺动脉高压小鼠肺组织中载脂蛋白E（apoE）蛋白表达的变化,以探讨低氧性肺动脉高压形成过程中apoE蛋白表达的变化及可能的意义。方法：SPF级雄性野生型（WT）C57BL/6小鼠和雄性apoE基因敲除（apoE-KO）小鼠各20只,各随机再分为2组（n=10）：常氧组和低氧组,共4组。常压连续低氧3周（9%~11% O₂,23 h/d）复制慢性低氧性肺动脉高压模型,采用右心导管法测定小鼠右心室压（RVSP）,计算右心室与左心室加室间隔重量比RV/（LV+S）,ELISA法检测血浆中高密度脂蛋白（HDL）、低密度脂蛋白（LDL）和总胆固醇（TC）的含量;Western blot法检测肺组织中apoE和过氧化物酶体增殖物激活受体γ（PPARγ）蛋白的表达。结果：①低氧组WT小鼠RVSP、RV/（LV+S）分别较常氧组高68%和59%（P均<0.05）,血浆中HDL含量及HDL/LDL比值分别较常氧组低17%和40%（P均<0.05）,同时肺、肝组织中apoE及肺组织中PPARγ的蛋白表达分别较常氧组下调48%、52%和37%（P均<0.05）,RVSP与apoE及PPARγ蛋白表达均呈显著负相关（P均<0.01）;②低氧组apoE-KO小鼠RVSP、RV/（LV+S）较常氧组分别高96%和86%（P均<0.05）,低氧组apoE-KO小鼠RVSP和RV/（LV+S）较低氧组WT小鼠分别高29%和24%（P均<0.05）。结论：小鼠低氧性肺动脉高压的形成与肺组织中apoE蛋白表达下调有关。     

外源性精胺对缺氧诱导乳鼠心肌细胞凋亡的影响及其机制

目的：观察外源性精胺对缺氧所致的乳鼠心肌细胞凋亡的影响,并探讨其机制。方法：复制原代培养乳鼠心肌细胞缺氧损伤模型（使用pH=6.8的Hank's平衡盐溶液作为细胞培养基,排出氧气,然后在缺氧箱中培养24 h）,细胞随机分为正常对照（Control）组、缺氧（Hypoxia）组和精胺干预（Hypoxia+Sp）组。Western blot检测心肌细胞多胺代谢关键酶（ODC、SSAT）蛋白质表达;CCK-8,Hoechst 33342染色观察细胞凋亡情况;光吸收法检测细胞（或培养液）内T-SOD和Caspase-3/-9活性,MDA、GSH含量;DCFH-DA染色观察细胞内活性氧（ROS）生成。结果：与正常组相比,Hypoxia组SSAT蛋白质表达、细胞凋亡率、MDA含量以及细胞内ROS生成增加,而ODC蛋白质表达、SOD活性、GSH含量降低;与Hypoxia组比较,Sp处理可减轻上述指标的变化。结论：外源性精胺可减轻缺氧引起的乳鼠心肌细胞损伤和凋亡,其机制与恢复多胺稳态和清除活性氧有关。

Some biological and genomic properties of rice tungro bacilliform badnavirus and rice tungro spherical waikavirus from Nepal

A survey of rice fields during the main growing seasons in 81 locations from 21 districts of the Southern Terai region of Nepal indicated that rice tungro was primarily restricted to the Hardinath (Janakpur) and Parwanipur (Bara) regions. The tungro incidence in Hardinath ranged from 17% to 51% and in Parwanipur from 6% to 61% causing about 89% grain yield loss in Hardinath. Both rice tungro bacilliform badnavirus (RTBV) and rice tungro spherical picornavirus (RTSV) were found in tungro isolates collected from Hardinath and Parwanipur. These isolates were transmitted by Nephotettix virescens and leaf extracts reacted to antisera against RTBV and RTSV. In a dot blot hybridisation assay, leaf extracts of 12 weed species collected from the tungro-affected area in Hardinath and Parwanipur also reacted with RTBV DNA probes. On mass inoculation of 15 popular rice cultivars most became more than 50% infected and only cv. Radha 9 had low (22.2%) infection. RTBV DNA and the coat protein region of RTSV from the Hardinath isolate were cloned and partially characterised. A comparative analyses by restriction endonuclease digestion, cross hybridisation, the polymerase chain reaction and partial sequencing indicated that the Nepalese RTBV DNA clone and the cDNA clones of the RTSV RNA were more similar to the various tungro isolates from the Indian subcontinent than to those from the Philippines.

鸡肝二氢叶酸还原酶在盐酸胍溶液中构象的序变与激活

用蛋白质内源荧光、疏水荧光探针TNS及蛋白酶K限制性酶解等方法研究了二氢叶酸还原酶在盐酸胍变性过程中的构象变化及动力学,并与活力变化进行了比较.TNS可以监测到与激活同步的构象变化;盐酸胍浓度大于0.75mol/L时,二氢叶酸还原酶被蛋白酶K水解速度增大;当盐酸胍浓度大于1.2mol/L时,才能监测到酶分子整体构象的变化.以上结果表明二氢叶酸还原酶在盐酸胍溶液中的变性并不符合标准的二态模型,而是先经历构象逐步松散的序变过程,然后发生协同的构象伸展.二氢叶酸还原酶在低浓度盐酸胍溶液中的激活是由于酶活性部位构象的微小变化引起的.酶活性部位构象的变化虽然降低了酶与废物的结合能力,但加快了酶促反应限速步骤,即底物解离速度而使酶活力升高.
