Proteomic Analysis for the Identification of Proteins Related to Methotrexate Resistance

Methotrexate(MTX) is one of the most important and frequently used drugs in cancer therapy, but the efficacy of this drug is often compromised by the development of resistance in cancer cells. To seek and identify differentially expressed proteins related to MTX resistance and provide clues for the mechanism of MTX resistance, proteins from cell line MTX300 (resistant to 300 μmol/L MTX) and its control cell line 3T3R500 were separated by two-dimensional electrophoresis (2-DE). The colloidal Coomassie brilliant blue-stained 2-DE gels were subjected to image analysis, which revealed several spots with high levels of differential expression between MTX300 and 3T3R500. The protein spot with highest differential expression was submitted for tryptic peptide mass fingerprinting(PMF) for identification by matrix-assisted laser desorption/ionization time-of-flight mass spectrometry (MALDI-TOF-MS). MS analysis and database searches revealed it to be dihydrofolate reductase (DHFR), which was subsequently confirmed by Western blot. The result suggested that DHFR might play an important role in the MTX resistance.

合欢皮提取物抑制血管生成的体内药效学研究

为了探讨合欢皮提取物体内对血管生成的抑制作用。本文采用MTT法和Matrigel plug方法考察合欢皮提取物对人血管内皮细胞(HMEC)增殖和体内Matrigel胶小管形成的影响,运用Lewis肺癌转移小鼠模型,观察合欢皮提取物对小鼠Lewis肺癌的疗效。结果表明合欢皮提取物可明显抑制HMEC细胞的体外增殖(IC50为30μg/mL),并且呈明显的剂量依赖性,同时具有抑制Matrigel plug中的血管新生的作用。合欢皮提取物还能够明显抑制Lewis肺癌肿瘤细胞生长,减少转移病灶。提示合欢皮提取物具有明显抑制血管生成的作用,有可能成为有效的血管生成抑制剂。     

热带林下人工种植阳春砂仁的生长与果实产量动态

调查了西双版纳不同海拔热带沟谷雨林和次生林下的阳春砂仁生长和果实产量动态．结果表明,西双版纳热带林下阳春砂仁自身年龄增长、林下光照不足和旱季水分胁迫影响阳春砂仁果实产量。随种植期增加,阳春砂仁果实产量和成熟植株密度降低．当林下光照水平在全日照的35％以下时,阳春砂仁果实产量随林下日照水平变化呈线性增加(P<0．05)。沟谷下方阳春砂仁果实产量显著高于上方(P<0.05)。海拔600～1000m,由于阳春砂仁的主花期从干热季3～4月推迟到雨季5月,果实产量显著增加,沟谷雨林和次生林下阳春砂仁果实产量差异不显著。因此,在海拔800～1000m沟谷中轮歇地次生林下有计划种植阳春砂仁,代替在沟谷雨林下种植阳春砂仁,既能解决沟谷雨林下光照和当地旱季水分不足对阳春砂仁果实产量的影响,又有利于热带沟谷雨林的保护。     

基于pufM基因的乌梁素海富营养化湖区好氧不产氧光合细菌系统发育多样性分析

好氧不产氧光合细菌(AAPB)的多样性在海洋中已经广泛研究,但在富营养化湖泊中却研究甚少。通过构建和分析AAPB光合中心合成中的关键基因pufM克隆文库,以期揭示乌梁素海富营养化湖区AAPB分布及其系统发育多样性,探讨其在富营养化湖泊中的功能和作用。对乌梁素海红圪卜湖区水体文库中的52个克隆子进行分析,产生了28个OTU,文库覆盖度达到71.4%,反映出文库有较好的代表性。同源性和系统发育分析结果表明,乌梁素海红圪卜湖区AAPB有较高的多样性,与我们之前所发现的同一湖区总细菌多样性较低形成鲜明对比。所获得的序列分属7个亚群,即γ-Proteobacteria(44.2%,含Group-1,-2和-3共3个亚群)、β-Proteobacteria(21.2%)、Rhodobacter-like(7.69%)及2个未知亚群unknown Group-1(21.2%)和Group-2(5.77%)。其中γ-Proteobacteria占到总克隆的44.2%,在低盐的乌梁素海环境中出现高比例的γ-Proteobacteria之前并未见类似报道,并且乌梁素海中存在一些可能是富营养化湖泊特有的AAPB。这表明AAPB可能在富营养化湖泊生态系统的维持和稳定中有重要作用。     

Genetic Diversity Analysis of Tibetan Wild Barley Using SSR Markers

One hundred and six accessions of wild barley collected from Tibet, China, including 50 entries of the two-rowed wild barley Hordeum vulgare ssp. spontaneum (HS), 29 entries of the six-rowed wild barley Hordeum vulgare ssp. agriocrithon (HA), and 27 entries of the six-rowed wild barley Hordeum vulgare ssp. agriocrithon var. lagunculiforme (HL), were analyzed using 30 SSR markers selected from the seven barley linkage groups for studying genetic diversity and evolutionary relationship of the three subspecies of Tibetan wild barley to cultivated barley in China. Over the 30 genetic loci that were studied, 229 alleles were identified among the 106 accessions, of which 70 were common alleles. H. vulgare ssp. spontaneum possesses about thrice more private alleles (2.83 alleles/locus) than HS (0.93 alleles/locus), whereas almost no private alleles were detected in HL. The genetic diversity among-subspecies is much higher than that within-subspecies. Generally, the genetic diversity among the three subspecies is of the order HS > HL > HA. Phylogenetic analysis of the 106 accessions showed that all the accessions of HS and HA was clustered in their own groups, whereas the 27 accessions of HL were separated into two groups (14 entries with group HS and the rest with group HA). This indicated that HL was an intermediate form between HS and HA. Based on this study and previous works, we suggested that Chinese cultivated barley might evolve from HS via HL to HA.     

生态能质(eco-exergy)在水生生态系统建模和评价中的应用

生态能质(eco-exergy)是指系统从给定状态达到热力学平衡状态所做的功,可以度量生态系统的复杂生物化学组分及生态结构。系统具有的能质越大,有序化程度越高,稳定性也越强。生态能质和比生态能质(specific eco-exergy)指标能够评价水生生态系统健康状况,对水生生态系统演替阶段具有指示作用。本文阐述了生态能质的定义、生态学意义以及生态能质值和权重因子fi值的计算方法。对生态能质作为功能函数在水生生态系统结构动力学模型(structural dynamic models,SDMs)中以及作为生态指标在生态系统健康评价、生态恢复研究中的实际应用进行了总结。最后探讨了生态能质指标的局限性以及未来的发展。此外,文中建议将eco-exergy和specific eco-exergy统一翻译为生态能质和比生态能质。
