蚕豆根端细胞核中微核仁的研究

以蚕豆(Vicia faba)根端分生组织细胞为材料研究了微核仁的超微结构和细胞化学特点。结果表明;微核仁是直径0.3—0.5μm 的卵圆形或球形结构。常规染色时,微核仁与集缩染色质的电子密度相仿,但两者之间在结构上没有任何联系。细胞化学研究指出,微核仁含有 RNA 和蛋白质,其结构成分主要是与核仁颗粒组分十分相似的 RNP 颗粒。报道了植物细胞核中微核仁发生于核仁的过程并对微核仁的本质和功能进行了讨论。     

Loss of tumorigenic potential by human lung tumor cells in the presence of antisense RNA specific to the ectopically synthesized alpha subunit of human chorionic gonadotropin

A clonal strain of human lung tumor cells in culture (ChaGo), derived from a bronchogenic carcinoma, synthesizes and secretes large amounts of alpha (alpha) and a comparatively lower level of beta (beta) subunit of the glycoprotein hormone, human chorionic gonadotropin (HCG). ChaGo cells lost their characteristic anchorage-independent growth phenotype in the presence of anti-alpha-HCG antibody. The effect of the antibody was partially reversed by addition of alpha-HCG to the culture medium. ChaGo cells were transfected with an expression vector (pRSV-anti-alpha-HCG), that directs synthesis of RNA complementary to alpha-HCG mRNA. The transfectants produced alpha-HCG antisense RNA which was associated with the reduced level of alpha-HCG. Transfectants also displayed several altered phenotypic properties, including altered morphology, less mitosis, reduced growth rate, loss of anchorage-independent growth, and loss of tumorigenicity in nude mice. Treatment of transfectants with 8,bromo-cAMP resulted in increased accumulation of alpha-HCG mRNA, no change in the level of alpha-HCG antisense RNA, release of the inhibition of [3H]thymidine incorporation, and restoration of anchorage-independent growth phenotype. The overexpression of c-myc, observed in ChaGo cells, was unaffected by the reduced level of alpha-HCG. These results suggest that ectopic synthesis of the alpha subunit of HCG plays a functional role in the transformation of these human lung cells.

汉防己甲素及克矽平对矽肺大鼠Ⅰ型和Ⅲ型胶原mRNA的影响

汉防己甲素（汉甲）及克矽平（Ｐｏｌｙｖｉｎｙｌｐｙｒｉｄｉｎｅ－Ｎ－Ｏｘｉｄｅ,ＰＶＮＯ）是目前较为有效的抑制矽肺纤维化的药物。本文研究了其对胶原ｍＲＮＡ水平的影响．斑点杂交实验表明大鼠接尘６０天和１２０天后α１（Ⅰ）及α１（Ⅲ）ｍＲＮＡ水平明显上升,经汉甲或克矽平治疗１个月或３个月后,胶原ｍＲＮＡ水平明显下降。原位杂交结果表明胶原ｍＲ－ＮＡ银颗粒与细胞性结节和增厚的肺泡壁的成纤维细胞分布重合。汉甲或克矽平治疗后银颗粒数下降。提示汉甲及克矽平对矽肺进程中的胶原基因表达增强有抑制作用。     

人鼻咽癌细胞基因组中瘤基因Ha－ras－1的Dnase Ⅰ超敏感位点的初步研究

ＤＮａｓｅⅠ超敏感位点的研究能够发现潜在的调控基因转录活化的位点,比较正常人外周血有核细胞,淋巴瘤细胞株Ｐ３ＨＲ１和人鼻咽癌低分化磷癌细胞株ＨＯｎＥ１和ＨＮＥ２中Ｈａ－ｒａｓ－１瘤基因的ＤＮａｓｅⅠ超敏感位点发现,只有ＨＯＮＥ１和ＨＮＥ２细胞基因组中存在一个ＤＮａｓｅⅠ超敏感位点,位于第一个外显子上游０．３７ｋｂ处,上述结果提示正常白细胞和Ｐ３ＨＲ１细胞中Ｈａ－ｒａｓ－１基因处于失活状态,而在鼻咽癌细胞基因组中则处于活化状态,它的活化可能与０．３７ｋｂ处的ＤＮＡ序列有密切的关系。     

Acorn mass and seedling growth in Quercus rubra in response to elevated CO2

Abstract. In order to explore whether seed size affects plant response to elevated CO₂, plants grown from red oak (Quercus rubra L.) acorns were studied for differences in their first year response to CO₂ concentrations of 350 and 700 μl/l. Overall, at final harvest, total biomass of plants grown in elevated CO₂ were 47 % larger than that of plants grown in ambient CO₂. There were significant interactions between CO₂ treatments and initial acorn mass for total biomass, as well as for root, leaf, and stem biomass. Although total biomass increased with increasing initial acorn mass for both high and ambient CO₂ plants, high CO₂ plants exhibited a greater increase than ambient CO₂ plants, as indicated by a steeper slope in high CO₂ plants. However, CO₂ levels did not affect biomass partitioning traits, such as root/shoot ratio, leaf, stem, and root weight ratios, and leaf area ratio. These results suggest that variation in seed size or initial plant size can cause intraspecific variation in response to elevated CO₂.
