苯胺嘧啶衍生物X-9通过下调整合素β1表达抑制肝细胞癌迁移侵袭

整合素在许多肿瘤细胞中高表达,并且参与肿瘤细胞的侵袭转移。在肝细胞癌中,整合素β1被报导高表达,并促进肿瘤细胞的侵袭。目前,对于整合素的表达调控癌细胞机制以及干预其表达进而抑制肿瘤细胞转移的研究较少。本研究探讨利用小分子化合物抑制整合素表达来抑制肿瘤细胞迁移和侵袭的可能。首先,对临床肝癌细胞患者癌组织和癌旁组织中的整合素β1的表达进行检测,发现其在癌组织中的表达显著高于癌旁组织（P<0.05）。对TCGA肿瘤数据库的生物信息学分析结果同样显示,整合素β1的高表达与肝癌的分期（P=0.019）和预后（P=0.013）相关。通过筛选发现,苯胺嘧啶衍生物X09可以抑制肝癌细胞中整合素β1的mRNA和蛋白质的表达（P<0.01）。细胞划痕愈合实验和细胞穿孔实验结果显示,苯胺嘧啶衍生物X-9能够抑制肝癌细胞的迁移和侵袭（P<0.01）。进一步的研究证实,在肝癌细胞中外源表达整合素β1可以逆转X-9对肝癌细胞迁移和侵袭的抑制;而在敲低整合素β1的细胞中,X-9对细胞的迁移和侵袭的抑制被消除。因此,鉴定出苯胺嘧啶衍生物X-9可以通过下调整合素β1表达,进而抑制肝癌细胞的迁移和侵袭。     

Chronic administration of an organophosphorus insecticide to rats alters cholinergic muscarinic receptors in the pancreas

Male rats were treated for 10 days with the organophosphorus insecticide, acetylcholinesterase inhibitor, O,O-diethyl S-[2-(ethylthio)ethyl]phosphorodithioate (disulfoton, 2 mg/kg/day by gavage). At the end of the treatment, binding of [³H]quinuclidinyl benzilate ([³H]QNB) to cholinergic muscarinic receptors and cholinesterase (ChE) activity were assayed in the pancreas. Functional activity of pancreatic muscarinic receptor was investigated by determining carbachol-stimulated secretion of α-amylase in vitro. ChE activity and [³H]QNB binding were significantly decreased in the pancreas from disulfoton-treated rats. The alteration of [³H]QNB binding was due to a decrease in muscarinic receptor density with no change in the affinity. Basal secretion of amylase from pancreas in vitro was not altered, but carbachol-stimulated secretion was decreased. The effect appeared to be specific since pancreozymin was able to induce the same amylase release from pancreases of control and treated rats. The results suggest that repeated exposures to sublethal doses of an organophosphorus insecticide lead to a biochemical and functional alteration of cholinergic muscarinic receptors in the pancreas.

油菜细胞质雄性不育系叶绿体DNA特异片段的分子克隆

采用高离子浓度缓冲液法分别提取油菜不育系及保持系的叶绿体DNA。经Sepharcse 4B柱层析纯化后,得到具有较高纯度的叶绿体DNA样品。将其分别用Eco RI、Bam HI、HimdHI、PstI和XhoI 5种限制性内切酶酶解,得到5种限制性内切酶图谱。其中除PstI图谱外,其它4种酶谱均显示出明显的两系间叶绿体DNA结构差异。以pBR 322为载体,分别克隆了不育系Bam HI图谱上的3个特异片段。得到的3个克隆,经克隆杂交及电泳分析后,证实分别带有上述3个目的片段。这些特异片段的特性及其与花粉育性的关系尚在研究中。     

宁夏同心中新世铲齿象化石

本文记述了宁夏同心地区中中新世哺乳动物群中铲齿象化石——同心铲齿象 (Platybelodon tongxinensis) (原定为同心嵌齿象 (Gomphotherium tongxinensis). 通过与国内外已现的有关铲齿象对比,确认其与国内已发现的葛氏种关系最近,可能属同一枝系.同心种与葛氏种相比,是性质相对原始分布层位较低的我国第二个铲齿象种.文章初步讨论了其 M_3 的某些变异性状.并结合现有的其它标本初步阐述了铲齿象类下门齿的两种结构类型,原始型的同心层状结构和衍生型的齿质柱状结构.建议根据这两种结构仍将铲齿象类划分为 Platybelodontinae 和 Amebelodontinae.

The use of streptavidin-biotinylglycans as a tool for characterization of oligosaccharide-binding specificity of lectin.

A new rapid and sensitive method for characterizing lectin specificity using streptavidin-biotinylglycans as a tool is presented. This assay is analogous to enzyme immunoassay and takes advantage of the strong, irreversible adsorption of streptavidin to the wells of the chambers of titer plates. A series of streptavidin-biotinylglycans was first coated on a microtiter plate, and then one of six lectins, concanavalin A, wheat germ agglutinin, Phaseolus vulgaris (red kidney bean) erythro-agglutinin, Lens culinaris (lentil) agglutinin, Datura stramoniun agglutinin, or Sambucus nigra (elderberry bark) agglutinin coupled to horseradish peroxidase, was added. After incubation and thorough washing, only the lectin bound to a complementary glycan remained and could be detected and quantified by the peroxidase reaction. It was established that the lectins retained their oligosaccharide-binding specificities after coupling to the peroxidase, that the binding was inhibited by addition of the corresponding sugar inhibitors, and that the color intensity produced by the enzyme reaction is proportional to the amount of lectin-peroxidase bound to biotinylglycan complexed with streptavidin immobilized on the plate. As an example, it was found that the peroxidase-D. stramoniun agglutinin conjugate strongly bound biotinylglycans, GlcNAc3-Man5-R, GalGlcNAc3Man5-R, and GlcNAc3-4Man3-R (R = GlcNAc2-[6-(biotinamido)hexanoyl]-Asn). As little as 10 pmol/ml of lectin was detected. With the growing availability of biotinylglycans, the method should represent a reliable and simple procedure for screening lectin-oligosaccharide recognition qualitatively and quantitatively.     

β-II conformation of all-β proteins can be distinguished from unordered form by circular dichroism

The CD spectrum of certain all-β globular proteins resembles that of unfolded proteins with a characteristic negative band around 200 nm. The conformation of this class is tentatively termed β-II, which had two features that were absent for unfolded proteins. First, β-II proteins usually had CD bands due to aromatic side groups in the near-ultraviolet region. Second, the CD intensities both in the far- and in the near-uv region of these compact and rigid proteins usually showed a sharp transition upon thermal denaturation, whereas those of an unordered form changed linearly with rising temperature.     

急性缺氧性缺氧时心脏功能的改变

F_(IO_2)(吸入气氧浓度)为12.35、9.87及7.7l％,分别吸入10、8及5min时,心功能呈代偿性增强改变。F_(IO_2)为9.37％、吸入20min时心功能的变化趋势与9.87％8min时仍基本相同。继发性缺二氧化碳对缺氧引起的心功能代偿性增强,在一定程度上起抵消作用。F_(IO_2)为9.87％时的缺氧程度约相当于18km高空加压供氧总压值为15.3kPa(115mmHg)时的缺氧。单纯从缺氧因素考虑,将总压值由常用的17.3kPa(130mmHg)降低为15.3kPa是可允许的。
