Ap5A延迟TRAIL诱导Novikoff细胞的凋亡

通过荧光分子标记和CONFOCAL技术检测方法,建立了TRAIL（TNF-related apoptosis inducing ligand, 一种类肿瘤坏死因子）诱导Novikoff细胞凋亡的模型,并探讨了TRAIL诱导凋亡的机制和Ap5A（P¹, P⁵-Di（adenosine-5′）pentaphosphate）在其中的作用.结果显示：TRAIL可诱导Novikoff细胞凋亡,且具有剂量和时间依赖性,同时胞内钙离子浓度显著上调.Ap5A能延迟TRAIL诱导的Novikoff细胞凋亡,同时下调胞内钙离子浓度.TRAIL和Ap5A分别上调和下调胞内钙离子浓度的作用可能是其诱发和延迟Novikoff细胞凋亡的一个机制.

Syntheses of quinolone hydrochloride enantiomers from synthons (R)- and (S)-2-methylpiperazine

A series of R and S enantiomers of 7-(3-methylpiperazin-1-yl) quinolone derivatives were synthesized from (R)- and (S)-tert-butyl 2-methylpiperazine-1-carboxylate and tested for their antibacterial activities on 14 kinds of bacteria. Although no distinct difference in in vitro antibacterial activities was observed, 2-64-fold difference between R and S enantiomers was observed in approximately 52% of cases.     

Gene structure,phylogeny and expression profile of the sucrose synthase gene family in cacao (Theobroma cacao L.)

Journal of Genetics - In higher plants, sucrose synthase (Sus, EC 2.4.1.13) is widely considered as a key enzyme involved in sucrose metabolism. Although, several paralogous genes encoding...     

The Expression Level and Prognostic Value of Y-Box Binding Protein-1 in Rectal Cancer

The aims of this study were to simultaneously evaluate the expression of Y-box binding protein-1 (YB-1) in non-neoplastic rectal tissue and rectal cancer tissue, and to collect clinical follow-up data for individual patients. Additionally, we aimed to investigate the developmental functions and prognostic value of YB-1 in rectal cancer. We performed immunohistochemical studies to examine YB-1 expression in tissue samples from 80 patients with rectal cancer, 30 patients with rectal tubular adenoma, and 30 patients with rectitis. The mean YB-1 histological scores for rectal cancer, rectal tubular adenoma, and rectitis tissue specimens were 205.5, 164.3, and 137.7, respectively. Shorter disease-free and overall survival times were found in patients with rectal cancer who had higher YB-1 expression than in those with lower expression (38.2 months vs. 52.4 months, P = 0.013; and 44.4 months vs. 57.3 months, P = 0.008, respectively). Our results indicate that YB-1 expression is higher in rectal cancer tissue than in rectal tubular adenoma and rectitis tissue and that it may be an independent prognostic factor for rectal cancer.

Seasonal variation in foliar carbon exchange in Pinus radiata and Populus deltoides: respiration acclimates fully to changes in temperature but photosynthesis does not

We investigated seasonal variation in dark respiration and photosynthesis by measuring gas exchange characteristics on Pinus radiata and Populus deltoides under field conditions each month for 1 year. The field site in the South Island of New Zealand is characterized by large day-to-day and seasonal changes in air temperature. The rate of foliar respiration at a base temperature of 10 °C ( R ₁₀) in both pine and poplar was found to be greater during autumn and winter and displayed a strong downward adjustment in warmer months. The sensitivity of instantaneous leaf respiration to a 10 °C increase in temperature ( Q ₁₀) was also greater during the winter period. The net effect of this strong acclimation was that the long-term temperature response of respiration was essentially flat over a wide range of ambient temperatures. Seasonal changes in photosynthesis were sensitive to temperature but largely independent of leaf nitrogen concentration or stomatal conductance. Over the range of day time growth temperatures (5–32 °C), we did not observe strong evidence of photosynthetic acclimation to temperature, and the long-term responses of photosynthetic parameters to ambient temperature were similar to previously published instantaneous responses. The ratio of foliar respiration to photosynthetic capacity ( R _d/ A _sat) was significantly greater in winter than in spring/summer. This indicates that there is little likelihood that respiration would be stimulated significantly in either of these species with moderate increases in temperature – in fact net carbon uptake was favoured at moderately higher temperatures. Model calculations demonstrate that failing to account for strong thermal acclimation of leaf respiration influences determinations of leaf carbon exchange significantly, especially for the evergreen conifer.     

蚊浓核病毒介导的人工内含子在蚊体内外的初步应用

根据人β-球蛋白基因第一内含子5′-端供位序列与免疫球蛋白重链可变区基因3′-端受位序列构建人工内含子,将人工内含子插入重组蚊浓核病毒质粒载体p7NS1-GFP中GFP融合表达的病毒非结构蛋白NS1的编码框内,构建成载体p7NS1-Intron-GFP,与辅助载体pUCA共转染蚊C6/36细胞系,荧光显微镜下观察细胞内GFP的表达情况。纯化、回收共转染后形成重组病毒与野生病毒,共感染白纹伊蚊二龄幼虫并观察幼虫体内GFP的表达情况。结果在C6/36细胞与蚊幼虫体内均观察到GFP的高效表达,证实人工内含子无论在蚊细胞系内还是在活体幼虫内均可正常行使其自我剪切的功能,未影响到下游蛋白GFP的表达。本研究为人工内含子在蚊虫细胞内的应用奠定基础,为蚊虫及其病原体相关基因工程技术提供新的策略。
