卵巢激素撤除诱发雌性小鼠抑郁样状态(英文)

目的:建立卵巢激素撤除诱发雌性小鼠抑郁样状态模型,并且探讨其可能的神经化学机制。方法:将小鼠分为假手术组,卵巢摘除组,己烯雌酚治疗组和氟西汀治疗组。动物行卵巢摘除术后开始给药,术后两周进行强迫游泳试验及悬尾试验以考察其抑郁样状态,并利用高效液相结合电化学检测测定下丘脑及海马中去甲肾上腺素(NE)、多巴胺(DA)以及五羟色胺(5-HT)的含量。结果:在强迫游泳试验及悬尾试验中,卵巢摘除小鼠较假手术组小鼠不动时间显著延长。神经递质测定显示,卵巢摘除小鼠下丘脑中NE与DA的含量显著降低,海马中NE与5-HT的含量显著降低。给予己烯雌酚或氟西汀治疗对抗了卵巢摘除所诱导的抑郁样状态,并且缓解了神经递质水平的下降。结论:双侧卵巢摘除诱发的小鼠抑郁样状态可以模拟妇女更年期抑郁的某些症状。本研究对于探讨卵巢激素撤除诱发抑郁状态的神经生化机制可能具有重要的意义。

Gel-free and gel-based proteomics in Bacillus subtilis: a comparative study

The proteome of exponentially growing Bacillus subtilis cells was dissected by the implementation of shotgun proteomics and a semigel-based approach for a particular exploration of membrane proteins. The current number of 745 protein identifications that was gained by the use of two-dimensional gel electrophoresis could be increased by 473 additional proteins. Therefore, almost 50% of the 2500 genes expressed in growing B. subtilis cells have been demonstrated at the protein level. In terms of exploring cellular physiology and adaptation to environmental changes or stress, proteins showing an alteration in expression level are of primary interest. The large number of vegetative proteins identified by gel-based and gel-free approaches is a good starting point for comparative physiological investigations. For this reason a gel-free quantitation with the recently introduced iTRAQ (isobaric tagging for relative and absolute quantitation) reagent technique was performed to investigate the heat shock response in B. subtilis. A comparison with gel-based data showed that both techniques revealed a similar level of up-regulation for proteins belonging to well studied heat hock regulons (SigB, HrcA, and CtsR). However, additional datasets have been obtained by the gel-free approach indicating a strong heat sensitivity of specific enzymes involved in amino acid synthesis.

Cytokinin affects circadian-clock oscillation in a phytochrome B- and Arabidopsis response regulator 4-dependent manner

In higher plants, many developmental processes, such as photomorphogenesis and flowering, are coregulated by light and the phytohormone cytokinin. Interactions between light and cytokinin pathways are presumably mediated by common signaling intermediates. However, the molecular mechanism of these interactions remains unclear. Here, we report that cytokinin specifically induces the expression of the Arabidopsis circadian oscillator genes LATE ELONGATED HYPOCOTYL ( LHY ) and CIRCADIAN CLOCK-ASSOCIATED 1 ( CCA1 ) but represses the expression of TIMING OF CAB EXPRESSION 1 in a light-dependent manner. Consistent with these observations, cytokinin causes a shifted phase of the circadian clock. Mutant studies showed that the altered clock oscillation modulated by cytokinin is dependent on phytochrome B ( PHYB ) and Arabidopsis RESPONSE REGULATOR 4 ( ARR4 ). Whereas overexpression of LHY or CCA1 renders plants slightly more sensitive to cytokinin, phyB and a lhy/cca1 double mutant are less sensitive to the hormone. These results suggest that cytokinin affects the circadian clock oscillation in a PHYB - and ARR4 -dependent manner and that cytokinin signaling is also regulated by light-signaling components, including PHYB , LHY and CCA1 . Therefore, phyB, ARR4 and the circadian oscillator may function as signaling intermediates to integrate light and cytokinin pathways.
