牙形动物取食方式推测——来自华北寒武纪晚期−奥陶纪早期牙形刺化石的证据

牙形刺作为牙形动物的咽部进食器官,具有其独特的生物学特征。基于山东青州尧王山寒武系-奥陶系剖面产出的较丰富的牙形刺化石资料,本文讨论了牙形刺在牙形动物行使滤食等进食功能时产生的生理性磨损,与前人对石炭纪牙形刺的磨损类型的三种:破裂(指牙形刺的突出部分受外力而折断、脱离牙形刺主体的现象)、剥落(外层的生长层被剥落,而露出内层的生长层)、磨光(指牙形刺表面的纹饰在磨蚀作用下变浅或变得光滑)进行了对比,并提出一种新的磨损方式:磨花(与磨光类似,然而原有纹饰变浅或消失之后,继续磨蚀而使刺体表面变得不光滑的现象),以及磨损后修复的现象。根据磨损类型分析,将牙形动物的取食方式分为"沙粒翻找型"与"浮游捕食型"两种。为推测牙形动物的取食方式提供佐证。     

24-表油菜素内酯对干旱胁迫下辣椒叶片快速叶绿素荧光诱导动力学曲线的影响

以辣椒品种“超辣九号”为试材,采用15%的PEG6000模拟干旱,研究了0.1μmol·L^-1外源24-表油菜素内酯(EBR)处理对干旱胁迫下辣椒叶片快速叶绿素荧光诱导动力学曲线(OJIP)的影响。结果表明:干旱胁迫降低了辣椒叶片的光化学效率和光合性能,导致干旱光抑制的发生。干旱胁迫既损伤了辣椒叶片PSⅡ供体侧放氧复合体(OEC),同时也对PSⅡ反应中心和受体侧造成伤害,阻碍了光合电子传递;干旱胁迫还导致单位叶面积有活性反应中心数目(RC/CS)的下降,并降低了单位叶面积吸收的光能(ABS/CS)、捕获的光能(TRo/CS)和进行电子传递的能量(ETo/CS),同时诱导了单位叶面积热耗散(DIo/CS)的增加。这说明辣椒遭受干旱胁迫后启动了相应的防御机制,一方面通过PSⅡ的可逆失活减少光能吸收与传递,另一方面通过促进热耗散减少过剩激发能的积累。EBR处理改善了干旱胁迫下辣椒叶片PSⅡ受体侧的电子传递,缓解了单位叶面积有活性反应中心数目的减少,优化了光合电子传递的进行,并维持相对较高的热耗散能力,从而减轻了干旱光抑制程度,对干旱胁迫下辣椒叶片光合机构和光合性能起到保护作用。     

Diversity of Culturable Bacteria Isolated from Highland Barley Cultivation Soil in Qamdo,Tibet Autonomous Region

The soil bacterial communities have been widely investigated. However, there has been little study of the bacteria in Qinghai-Tibet Plateau, especially about the culturable bacteria in highland barley cultivation soil. Here, a total of 830 individual strains were obtained at 4°C and 25°C from a highland barley cultivation soil in Qamdo, Tibet Autonomous Region, using fifteen kinds of media. Seventy-seven species were obtained, which belonged to 42 genera and four phyla; the predominant phylum was Actinobacteria (68.82%), followed by Proteobacteria (15.59%), Firmicutes (14.29%), and Bacteroidetes (1.30%). The predominant genus was Streptomyces (22.08%, 17 species), followed by Bacillus (6.49%, five species), Micromonospora (5.19%, four species), Microbacterium (5.19%, four species), and Kribbella (3.90%, three species). The most diverse isolates belonged to a high G+C Gram-positive group; in particular, the Streptomyces genus is a dominant genus in the high G+C Gram-positive group. There were 62 species and 33 genera bacteria isolated at 25°C (80.52%), 23 species, and 18 genera bacteria isolated at 4°C (29.87%). Meanwhile, only eight species and six genera bacteria could be isolated at 25°C and 4°C. Of the 77 species, six isolates related to six genera might be novel taxa. The results showed abundant bacterial species diversity in the soil sample from the Qamdo, Tibet Autonomous Region.

基于生物膜干涉技术检测PDL1抗体与PDL1抗原的亲和力

生物膜干涉（biolayer interferometry,BLI）技术可对抗体与抗原的相互作用进行亲和力、动力学的全面分析。在抗体克隆筛选、动力学常数测定中对链霉亲和素（streptavidin,SA）生物传感器的需求量较大,但目前鲜有关于SA传感器重复利用的报道。基于BLI技术、再生SA生物传感器建立一种使用再生后的传感器检测PDL1抗体与PDL1抗原亲和力的方法。通过将生物素化的PDL1抗原偶联至SA生物传感器上,再与单链抗体、双价单链抗体、完整抗体和双特异性抗体这4类PDL1抗体结合,计算抗原抗体的亲和力常数,利用甘氨酸（10 mmol·L^-1,pH 1.7）再生SA传感器,再次进行分子间相互作用力分析。结果显示,重复性相对标准偏差（relative standard deviation,RSD）均值为6.87%,批间重复性RSD为0.82%,稳定性RSD均值为6.13%,说明运用甘氨酸再生后的SA生物传感器测分子间的亲和力数据可靠、重现性好、稳定性高,再生后的传感器可继续用于本样品的实时、无标记的抗原抗体相互作用力分析。BLI技术可节省检测成本,为SA传感器的重复利用提供理论依据。     

半乳糖凝集素‑3对骨关节炎成骨细胞矿化的作用研究

炎症反应以炎症因子为代表,是骨关节炎（osteoarthritis,OA）中软骨下骨发生病变的重要机制。炎症因子半乳糖凝集素?3（galectin?3,Gal?3）会引起软骨下骨OA样变,但机制尚不清楚。利用因膝关节OA行全膝关节置换患者的胫骨平台标本,培养成骨细胞。分别在正常氧和缺氧条件下用Gal?3处理成骨细胞后,检测骨钙素、ERRα和Sirtuin 1的表达情况。同时,给予矿化液培养的成骨细胞以Gal?3处理,28 d后使用茜素红染色检测成骨细胞矿化程度并进行定量分析。结果显示,Gal?3抑制成骨细胞骨钙素的表达,在缺氧条件下诱导ERRα和Sirtuin1的表达,在正常氧条件下Gal?3促进OA成骨细胞的矿化。正常氧条件下,Gal?3可以诱导OA成骨细胞的异常矿化,缺氧条件下Gal?3促进成骨,表明Gal?3在OA成骨细胞的矿化中扮演重要角色。     

蒙古黄芪病程相关蛋白AmPR-10于大肠杆菌不同载体的可溶性表达策略研究

蒙古黄芪病程相关蛋白（Astragalus membranaceus pathogenesis-related protein-10, AmPR-10）具有核酸酶活性,对黄芪生长发育及抗病机制具有重要意义。但从天然黄芪中提取蛋白质的传统方法成本较高,蛋白得率较少。研究首次利用大肠杆菌表达体系对AmPR-10进行可溶性外源表达,构建了3种重组子：①以pET28a为载体构建pET28a-AmPR-10;②以pET30a为载体构建pET30a-AmPR-10;③以pET30a为载体、大肠杆菌分子伴侣skp修饰构建pET30a-skp-AmPR-10。通过SDS-PAGE分析,目的蛋白可溶性表达量比较结果是：pET30a-skp-AmPR-10 > pET30a-AmPR-10 > pET28a-AmPR-10。由蛋白质三级结构模拟分析发现,载体pET-30a上的标签S-tag通过影响AmPR-10局部α螺旋构象而提高目标蛋白的可溶性表达,分子伴侣skp通过提高融合蛋白整体α螺旋比例进一步提升目标蛋白可溶性表达量。研究解决了目前从天然黄芪中提取蛋白操作复杂、提取量小的问题。同时,经测定,目的蛋白具有核酸酶活性,为外源AmPR-10相关活性研究提供了依据。     

The Influence of Physical and Physiological Cues on Atomic Force Microscopy-Based Cell Stiffness Assessment

Atomic force microscopy provides a novel technique for differentiating the mechanical properties of various cell types. Cell elasticity is abundantly used to represent the structural strength of cells in different conditions. In this study, we are interested in whether physical or physiological cues affect cell elasticity in Atomic force microscopy (AFM)-based assessments. The physical cues include the geometry of the AFM tips, the indenting force and the operating temperature of the AFM. All of these cues show a significant influence on the cell elasticity assessment. Sharp AFM tips create a two-fold increase in the value of the effective Young’s modulus (E_eff) relative to that of the blunt tips. Higher indenting force at the same loading rate generates higher estimated cell elasticity. Increasing the operation temperature of the AFM leads to decreases in the cell stiffness because the structure of actin filaments becomes disorganized. The physiological cues include the presence of fetal bovine serum or extracellular matrix-coated surfaces, the culture passage number, and the culture density. Both fetal bovine serum and the extracellular matrix are critical for cells to maintain the integrity of actin filaments and consequently exhibit higher elasticity. Unlike primary cells, mouse kidney progenitor cells can be passaged and maintain their morphology and elasticity for a very long period without a senescence phenotype. Finally, cell elasticity increases with increasing culture density only in MDCK epithelial cells. In summary, for researchers who use AFM to assess cell elasticity, our results provide basic and significant information about the suitable selection of physical and physiological cues.

外源NO对2+胁迫下小桐子幼苗抗氧化能力的影响

为探讨外源一氧化氮(NO)供体硝普钠(SNP)对铜(Cu2+)胁迫的缓解效应,该试验以小桐子幼苗为材料,先通过小桐子幼苗根茎生长指标的变化筛选出后续实验适宜的SNP(0.2mmol/L)和Cu2+浓度(90mmol/L),再进一步考察SNP预处理对Cu2+胁迫下幼苗脯氨酸(Pro)和丙二醛(MDA)的含量及抗氧化酶活性的影响。结果显示:(1)Cu2+处理能诱导小桐子幼苗叶片中Pro和MDA含量显著升高,且过氧化氢酶(CAT)、超氧物歧化酶(SOD)、愈创木酚过氧化物酶(POD)及抗坏血酸专一性过氧化物酶(APX)的活性增强。(2)用SNP预处理能显著提高Cu2+胁迫下幼苗叶片Pro的含量,进一步增强叶片中CAT、SOD、POD和APX活性,降低MDA的含量。研究表明,0.2mmol/L的SNP能够通过提高小桐子幼苗的抗氧化酶活性和游离脯氨酸含量来增强其抗氧化胁迫能力,从而显著缓解Cu2+胁迫对幼苗造成的氧化伤害,维持其正常生长发育。
