小鼠LAK细胞对红系祖细胞及多向造血祖细胞增殖的影响

小鼠脾细胞经重组人白细胞介素-2(rhIL-2)激活后对YAC-1,LP-3和WEHI-164等肿瘤细胞均有很强的杀伤活性。在CFU-E和BFU-E培养体系中,不同浓度LAK细胞与BMC直接加入或预温育4h后再培养,均能加强CFU-E和BFU-E增殖。低浓度LAK细胞(LAK/BMC为0.5)与BMC直接加入或预温育后再加入CFU-mix培养体系中,均能增强CFU-mix增殖,而高浓度LAK细胞和BMC(LAK/BMC=8.0)直接加入培养体系则抑制CFU-mix增殖;若共温育后再培养则非常明显地抑制CFU-mix增殖,CFU-mix仅为对照的17.6％。小鼠LAK细胞对造血祖细胞体外增殖具有调节作用,这种调节可能包括分泌某些细胞因子以及细胞间直接相互作用两种方式。     

豌豆叶绿体脂氧合酶活性与叶片衰老及膜脂过氧化作用的关系

豌豆叶绿体脂氧合酶(LOX)活性在连体叶片衰老过程中变化不大。ABA处理离体叶片2d叶绿体LOX活性升高,处理时间延长活性下降。抗氧化剂α-生育酚、谷胱甘肽、没食子酸丙酯抑制豌豆叶绿体LOX活性。脂质过氧化产物丙二醛对豌豆叶绿体LOX和大豆纯LOX-1的活性均有抑制作用,大豆LOX-1能促进离体豌豆叶绿体膜脂过氧化作用。因此,豌豆叶绿体LOX可能参与叶片衰老过程中叶绿体膜结构和功能的改变,又受膜脂过氧化产物的制约。     

天麻消化紫萁小菇及蜜环菌过程中细胞超微结构变化的研究

本文对天麻种子消化入侵的紫萁小菇菌丝及营养繁殖茎消化蜜环菌过程中,细胞超微结构的变化进行了研究。观察结果表明:紫萁小菇侵入种胚后,染菌胚细胞的细胞器逐渐消失,其细胞质产生囊状体起消化菌丝的作用,存在于胚细胞中的紫萁小菇菌丝有脱壁或失去细胞质成为空腔等变化;种子萌发形成的原球茎消化紫萁小菇的方式同胚萌发阶段类同。蜜环菌侵入原球茎分化的营养繁殖茎后,皮层细胞产生消化酶类颗粒或囊状体包围并分解蜜环菌菌丝;被皮层细胞消化的菌丝残物或部分菌丝进入皮层内面的大型细胞,此时大型细胞的代谢功能显著增强,该细胞中的各种水解酶颗粒及液泡等完成对菌体物质的最终同化。紫萁小菇及蜜环菌先后在天麻有性繁殖和无性繁殖阶段侵染供给其营养,但菌丝被消化过程中的细胞形态变化、被消化方式不完全一致。     

急性低氧对大鼠血液中儿茶酚胺及血小板聚集性的影响

健康ＳＤ雄性大鼠,体重２５０－３００ｇ,麻醉、气管插管,用人工呼吸机经气袋供气,自发吸入氧浓度为９％的氧氮混合气,用高效液相色谱－电化学联合检测法及电阻法检测循环血液中儿茶酚胺及全血血小权聚集性的动态变化。结果：急性低氧１５ｍｉｎ时血液中肾肾上腺素（Ａ）浓度及全血血小板聚集性显著增加（Ｐ〈０．０１）,而去甲肾上腺素（ＮＡ）浓度虽有所增加,但无统计学意义（Ｐ〉０．０５）;复氧１５ｍｉｎ时血液中儿茶酚     

原噬菌体PBSX阻遏基因及其温度敏感型等位基因的克隆分析

本研究利用聚合酶链式反应技术,成功地克隆了枯草芽孢杆菌缺陷型原噬菌体ＰＢＳＸ阻遏基因及其温度敏感型等位基因。核苷酸序列分析发现,野生型及其温度敏感型阻遏基因之间的碱基变异较大,但却存在几乎完全相同的开放读框,尤其是开放读框ｏｒｆⅠ,可能编码着１１３个氨基酸的阻遏蛋白,并且还推定了开放读框的启动区和核糖体结合位点。通过互补实验,证实了野生型阻遏基因的产物能够抑制温度诱导ＰＢＳＸ原噬菌体,表明克隆的基因有着正常的生物活性。

Formation of tight junctions and desmosomes protects MDCK cells against hyperthermic killing

Cell density is known to modify the survival of mammalian cells exposed to elevated temperatures. We have examined the role that cell–cell contact plays in this phenomenon. The formation of cell–cell contact is carried out by cells' junctional complex, i.e., tight junctions, desmosomes, and gap junctions. Lack of formation of tight junctions and desmosomes, or their opening, could interfere with the functions and structures of cell membrane. Membrane damage is at least partially responsible for cell death at elevated temperatures. MDCK cells with high density plated in low calcium medium form confluent monolayers devoid of the formation of tight junctions and desmosomes but quickly assemble them after Ca²⁺ restoration. We used MDCK cells and the calcium switch technique to investigate effects of cell–cell contact and, independently, of cell density on hyperthermic cell killing. We found that MDCK cells that formed tight junctions and desmosomes were more resistant to hyperthermic treatment than those that did not. Blocking the formation pathway of tight junctions made cells sensitive to heat. Cells growing at lowdensity showed almost the same survival as did cells at high density in the absence of the formation of tight junctions and desmosomes. The results suggest that the formation of tight junctions and desmosomes play a more important role in determining hyperthermic response than does density per se. The formation of tight junctions and desmosomes appears to protect cells modestly against hyperthermic killing. © 1994 Wiley-Liss, Inc.     

Water potentials for developing cladodes and fruits of a succulent plant, including xylem-versus-phloem implications for water movement

Developing cladodes had lower water potentials and developingfruits had higher water potentials than the underlying cladodesof the widely cultivated prickly pear cactus, Opuntia ficus-indica.The 0.06 MPa lower value in 4-week-old daughter cladodes indicateda typical water potential gradient from the underlying clad-odealong the xylem of –0.2 MPa m^–1; the 0.17 MPa highervalue in 4-week-old fruits, which decreased to 0.07 MPa by 10weeks, implicated the phloem as their supplier of water. Thephloem sap of the underlying cladodes had an osmotic pressureof only 0.90 to 0.98 MPa, so the phloem could supply a relativelydilute solution to the photosynthetically dependent fruits (daughtercladodes of O. ficus-indica are photosynthetically independentat 4 weeks). Although the water potentials were similar foradjacent tissues, the osmotic pressures were lower for the water-storagecompared with the photosynthetic tissue; the osmotic pressureswere higher for xylem sap from fruits, for which xylary flowapparently occurred toward the underlying cladodes, than fordaughter cladodes. The relative capacitance (change in relativewater content divided by change in tissue water potential) wasapproximately 0.71 MPa^–1 for the water-storage tissueand the photosynthetic tissue of both daughter cladodes andfruits at 4 weeks of age. When these organs approached maturityat 10 weeks, the relative capacitance increased about 40% fortheir water-storage tissue, but decreased 30% for their photosynthetictissue. As the plant water content decreases during drought,about twice as much water will thus be lost per unit volumeof the water-storage tissue compared with the photosynthetictissue of maturing fruits and cladodes. Key words: Opuntia ficus-indica, phloem, relative water content, water capacitance, water potential

几种CAM植物PEP羧化酶同工酶的比较研究

比较研究几种兼性和专一性ＣＡＭ植物材料的ＰＥＰＣ同工酶表明：经自然干旱诱导,兼性ＣＡＭ植物露花（Ｍｅｓｅｍｂｒｙａｎｔｈｅｍｕｍｃｏｒｄｉｆｏｌｉｕｍ）、长药景天（Ｓｕｄｕｍｓｐｅｃｔａｂｉｌｅ）有新的ＰＥＰＣ同工酶的出现,诱导前后各同工酶的天然分子量变化不大;而土三七（Ｓｅｄｕｍａｉｚｏｏｎ）则没有新的ＰＥＰＣ同工酶出现,但诱导后其同工酶的天然分子量有所增大。以上几种兼性ＣＡＭ植物的ＰＥＰＣ同工酶酶谱无明显昼夜变化。专一性ＣＡＭ植物的ＰＥＰＣ酶谱和天然分子量均较一致,亦无昼夜差异。
