XBP-1转录激活系统的构建

人X盒结合蛋白1(XBP-1)是CREB／ATF(cAMP应答元件结合蛋白／激活转录因子)转录因子家族中的一员,在很多癌细胞中高水平表达。将XBP-1两种剪切形式的编码序列分别克隆在pRC-lac真核载体上,构建成pRC-lac-XBP-1S和pRC-lac-XBP-1U重组质粒。Westem印迹分析表明,这两种XBP-1形式在哺乳动物细胞中都得到了表达。瞬时转染人胚胎肾细胞293T,用荧光素酶报告基因检测这两种剪切形式的转录活性。结果显示,pRC-lac-XBP-1S和pRC-lac-XBP-1U在293T细胞中均有活性,pRC-lac-XBP-1U的活性约是空载体的65倍,pRC-lac-XBP-IS的活性约是空载体的3倍。成功构建了xBP-1的转录激活系统,为进一步了解XBp-1在各种疾病中的作用奠定了基础。     

基于遥感和GIS的川西绿被时空变化研究

探索出了利用多时相MODIS数据分析绿被时空变化的技术方法,揭示出了川西2002—2008年间绿被的变化特征。建立了绿被提取模型。用其从2002—2008年的多期MODIS影像中提取出川西多期绿被数据。其次,利用GIS技术对2002—2008年间绿被变化,及其与温度、降雨的关系等进行了分析。研究表明:2002年绿被天数在195 d以上的区域有43.3%。终年无绿被的区域有4.3%。西北部植被生长日数短,而东南部生长日数长。2002—2008年间,春季绿被面积变幅最大,秋季最小。最大绿被面积出现在2006年的夏季,最小绿被面积出现在2005年的冬季。平均夏冬绿被面积差占区域面积46.7%。在季节上,绿被面积与温度和降雨量均在0.01的水平上呈显著正相关关系,其相关系数分别为0.82和0.84。该研究成果对植被生长潜力挖掘、农牧生产和生态建设决策等均有重要意义。

高效液相色谱测定发酵液中1，3－二羟基丙酮（DHA）方法的建立

摘要：本文建立了简单且准确的测定1,3-二羟基丙酮（DHA）的高效液相色谱（HPLC）方法。以Alltima C18（5μm,250×4.6mm）为分离柱,5％甲醇水溶液（0.05％H3PO4调pH至3.0）,流速为1mL/min,用紫外检测器在200nm处检测DHA。结果测得DHA标准样品的保留时间为6.2min,并测得DHA的线性范围为0.1～10.0 g/L。用HPLC法测得以甘油为底物发酵产DHA发酵液中DHA含量为6.2 g/L。并证明高效液相色谱法可有效应用于产DHA发酵过程中产物的检测。

Protein kinase C delta null mice exhibit structural alterations in articular surface,intra-articular and subchondral compartments

IntroductionStructural alterations in intra-articular and subchondral compartments are hallmarks of osteoarthritis, a degenerative disease that causes pain and disability in the aging population. Protein kinase C delta (PKC-δ) plays versatile functions in cell growth and differentiation, but its role in the articular cartilage and subchondral bone is not known.MethodsHistological analysis including alcian blue, safranin O staining and fluorochrome labeling were used to reveal structural alterations at the articular cartilage surface and bone–cartilage interface in PKC-δ knockout (KO) mice. The morphology and organization of chondrocytes were studied using confocal microscopy. Glycosaminoglycan content was studied by micromass culture of chondrocytes of PKC-δ KO mice.ResultsWe uncovered atypical structural demarcation between articular cartilage and subchondral bone of PKC-δ KO mice. Histology analyses revealed a thickening of the articular cartilage and calcified bone–cartilage interface, and decreased safranin O staining accompanied by an increase in the number of hypertrophic chondrocytes in the articular cartilage of PKC-δ KO mice. Interestingly, loss of demarcation between articular cartilage and bone was concomitant with irregular chondrocyte morphology and arrangement. Consistently, in vivo calcein labeling assay showed an increased intensity of calcein labeling in the interface of the growth plate and metaphysis in PKC-δ KO mice. Furthermore, in vitro culture of chondrocyte micromass showed a decreased alcian blue staining of chondrocyte micromass in the PKC-δ KO mice, indicative of a reduced level of glycosaminoglycan production.ConclusionsOur data imply a role for PKC-δ in the osteochondral plasticity of the interface between articular cartilage and the osteochondral junction.

Kosteletzkya virginica, a halophytic species with potential for agroecotechnology in Jiangsu Province, China

Kosteletzkya virginica (L.) Presl. is a perennial dicot halophytic species, that grows in brackish portions of coastal tidal marshes of the mid-Atlantic and southeastern United States. New saline mudflats have been increasing every year in Northern Jiangsu, China. In 1993, we introduced K. virginica (L.) into China from the Halophyte Biotechnology Center (University of Delaware, USA) as a potential species to improve the soil and develop ecologically sound saline agriculture. Our nearly 10 years of experimental research, both in a test garden and in the field, indicated that K. virginica adapts excellently to the heavy saline soils of Jiangsu Province, China. The average seed yield of K. virginica in 2001 at Yancheng was 638 kg/ha from 1-year old seedlings. There were significant variations among individuals from the unselected population of K. virginica on growth, quality, and seed yield traits. There is great potential to increase the seed yield if superior clones are selected. The seed yield of 35 selected individuals was six times greater than that of the average. Four growth traits of K. virginica were found to have a significant correlation with seed yield. However, there was no strong positive or negative correlation among seed quality traits. The mean seed weight and the germination ratio of the 35 selected individuals of K. virginica were 16.36±0.32 g and 76.11±1.82%, respectively. The percentage content of oil and crude protein in the seeds was 11.28±0.67 and 8.17±0.19%, respectively. The percentage of seed vigor of the selected individuals was 99%, as determined by soft X-ray radiography.     

荧光定量PCR检测干旱胁迫下长春花Crlea基因的相对表达

首次从长春花中克隆了Crlea（Crlea for Catharanthus roseus late embryogenesis abundant）的全长基因,采用荧光定量PCR方法对干旱胁迫下长春花叶片和根部Crlea基因的表达模式进行监测,结果表明,在0.5～8 h的胁迫时间中,叶片和根部的Crlea基因表现出相似的积累模式。长春花Crlea基因的表达随着胁迫时间的延长而表达增强。在叶片中,在6 h和8 h的干旱处理后,Crlea基因表达显著提高,分别是未处理材料的9.984和20.431倍。在根部, 在8 h的处理后,Crlea基因的表达量显著提高（2.831倍于对照)。初步结果表明Crlea基因的表达没有组织特异性,并且为干旱胁迫正调控。
