褐飞虱磷脂酰肌醇3激酶p85α亚基基因NlPIK3R1的克隆与功能分析

【目的】PI3K信号通路在生物体中发挥重要功能,涉及糖和脂质的代谢、细胞和组织生长以及生物个体寿命等。本研究旨在探明该通路中磷脂酰肌醇3激酶(PI3K)在褐飞虱Nilaparvata lugens中的功能。【方法】根据转录组提供的PI3K p85α核心序列信息,应用c DNA末端快速克隆的技术(RACE)获得了编码PI3K p85α的基因Nl PIK3R1的全长c DNA(Gen Bank登录号为KP635379),并应用荧光定量PCR和通过给成虫喂食ds Nl PIK3R1对Nl PIK3R1进行RNA干扰(RNAi)分别对该基因的表达规律和功能进行了研究。【结果】荧光定量PCR测定结果表明,Nl PIK3R1在褐飞虱若虫和雄成虫中表达量均较低,但在怀卵雌成虫中大量表达。RNAi结果表明,给褐飞虱成虫喂食0.1和0.5μg/μL ds Nl PIK3R1均导致Nl PIK3R1的表达明显受到抑制,高浓度组的抑制效果尤为明显。喂食ds Nl PIK3R1对褐飞虱成虫具有极显著致死效果,高浓度组的褐飞虱成虫在饲喂第7天时存活率仅为37.5%,相比于空白对照组(87.00%)和ds GFP对照组(76.67%)均达到了极显著差异(P0.01)。对Nl PIK3R1的RNAi导致褐飞虱成虫羽化率下降和体重变轻。【结论】本研究结果显示,Nl PIK3R1基因对褐飞虱的生存、生长和发育具有重要作用,可以作为防治褐飞虱的潜在靶标。     

当归根显微结构及其根腐病真菌分布研究

利用徒手切片、石蜡切片和超薄切片及显微摄像的方法,对当归根的显微结构及根腐病致病真菌的分布进行了研究。结果表明:当归的根由周皮和次生维管组织两部分组成,周皮由外向内依次分为木栓层、木栓形成层、栓内层;次生韧皮部占根径的比例在60%以上,主要成分包括筛胞、韧皮薄壁细胞、韧皮纤维和分泌道,薄壁细胞富含淀粉粒等营养物质;次生木质部由导管、木薄壁细胞和木射线组成,木质部呈多元形,木射线和韧皮射线明显。在根的周皮细胞和中柱中均有真菌分布,说明真菌由木栓层、木栓形成层、栓内层依次向里侵入到韧皮薄壁细胞,在薄壁细胞内定殖并形成菌丝结或团块状结构,进而扩展成一定的侵染区域;真菌不仅侵染周皮和韧皮部,而且还进一步侵染木质部并破坏导管。此外,研究还发现,淀粉粒是真菌定殖的主要场所,真菌穿透或缠绕在淀粉粒上,并利用其营养不断地生长与繁殖。     

shRNA抑制宫颈癌Hela细胞株HPV18 E6、E7基因表达的研究

应用短发夹RNA(Short hairpin RNA,shRNA)表达载体抑制宫颈癌Hela细胞株HPV18 E6、E7基因的表达。应用已鉴定的shRNA表达载体pHPV1、pHPV2转染Hela细胞,G418筛选阳性细胞,建立稳定转染细胞株;倒置荧光显微镜检测转染情况;提取细胞内总RNA,RT-PCR方法检测HPV18 E6、E7 mRNA;WesternBlot检测HPV18 E6、E7蛋白表达的变化;采用灰度分析软件对PCR扩增条带与蛋白质条带进行灰度分析。pHPV1实验组细胞内HPV18 E6、E7 mRNA含量分别为阴性对照组的31%、38%,E6、E7蛋白分别为阴性对照组的37%、31%;pHPV2实验组细胞内HPV18 E6、E7 mRNA含量分别为阴性对照组的54%、77%,E6、E7蛋白分别为阴性对照组的52%、83%。pHPV1、pHPV2表达载体能抑制Hela细胞HPV18 E6、E7的表达,针对外显子区434-452的pHPV1抑制作用更强。     

Molecular chaperone HspB2 inhibited pancreatic cancer cell proliferation via activating p53 downstream gene RPRM,BAI1, and TSAP6

Heat shock proteins (HSPs) were known as the molecular chaperones, which play a pivotal role in the protein quality control system, ensuring correct folding of proteins, and facilitating the correct refolding of damaged proteins via the transient interaction with their substrate proteins. They also practice in the regulation of cell cycles and are involved in apoptosis. We found that HspB2 was almost completely silent in pancreatic cancer and few studies investigated the role of HspB2 in cancer cells, particularly in pancreatic cancer. Here, we reported that HspB2 effectively inhibited cell proliferation in Panc-1 cells. Specifically, we demonstrated that HspB2 could combine mut-p53 and change the DNA binding site of mutant p53, subsequently upregulated the expression of RPRM, BAI-1, and TSAP6 which were the downstream genes of wt-p53, participate in mediating downstream responses to p53, including inhibiting cell proliferation and angiogenesis. The main aim of this study is to investigate the relationship between HspB2 and p53, and provide a novel treatment strategy for pancreatic cancer.     

Integrin-associated molecules and signalling cross talking in osteoclast cytoskeleton regulation

In the ageing skeleton, the balance of bone reconstruction could commonly be broken by the increasing of bone resorption and decreasing of bone formation. Consequently, the bone resorption gradually occupies a dominant status. During this imbalance process, osteoclast is unique cell linage act the bone resorptive biological activity, which is a highly differentiated ultimate cell derived from monocyte/macrophage. The erosive function of osteoclasts is that they have to adhere the bone matrix and migrate along it, in which adhesive cytoskeleton recombination of osteoclast is essential. In that, the podosome is a membrane binding microdomain organelle, based on dynamic actin, which forms a cytoskeleton superstructure connected with the plasma membrane. Otherwise, as the main adhesive protein, integrin regulates the formation of podosome and cytoskeleton, which collaborates with the various molecules including: c-Cbl, p130^Cas, c-Src and Pyk2, through several signalling cascades cross talking, including: M-CSF and RANKL. In our current study, we discuss the role of integrin and associated molecules in osteoclastogenesis cytoskeletal, especially podosomes, regulation and relevant signalling cascades cross talking.
