白萝卜提取物诱生干扰素的有效成份

本实验用CF-11纤维素柱层析,从白萝卜提取物中分离纯化到一种双链RNA,简称E.R.s.r-dsRNA(全称见正文)。实验证明,E.R.s.r-dsRNA在家兔体内可诱生高水平的干扰素;纳克(ng)水平即可在体外细胞培养中抑制病毒感染。E.R.s.r-dsRNA分子量略小于1.34×10~6道尔顿,它对RNase的耐受性比Poly Ⅰ:PolyC强。推测E.R.s.r-dsRNA可能有较好的应用前景。

肺成体干细胞体外培养模型的研究进展北大核心CSCD

目前,肺体外培养模型有肺类器官和肺芯片两种主要手段。肺类器官是离体的肺上皮干细胞在体外特定的三维培养环境中生长,自发形成具有自我更新能力的干细胞簇并成功分化出功能细胞。肺芯片是利用人工活性膜为细胞提供组织分层结构,模拟微环境和机械力的仿生微流体芯片。由于原有二维培养模式缺乏精确的微结构和功能,组织体外培养模型作为模拟肺部发育、稳态、损伤和再生机制的研究工具,为肺部纤维化、癌症等疾病的探索提供了新的手段和可能。本文就肺成体干细胞两种体外培养模型的分类、研发历史、建立方法、实际应用、优缺点等方面进行综述,期望为器官移植和再生、药物筛选等应用提供参考。     

Analysis of synonymous codon usage in H5N1 virus and other influenza A viruses

In this study, we calculated the codon usage bias in H5N1 virus and performed a comparative analysis of synonymous codon usage patterns in H5N1 virus, five other evolutionary related influenza A viruses and a influenza B virus. Codon usage bias in H5N1 genome is a little slight, which is mainly determined by the base compositions on the third codon position. By comparing synonymous codon usage patterns in different viruses, we observed that the codon usage pattern of H5N1 virus is similar with other influenza A viruses, but not influenza B virus, and the synonymous codon usage in influenza A virus genes is phylogenetically conservative, but not strain-specific. Synonymous codon usage in genes encoded by different influenza A viruses is genus conservative. Compositional constraints could explain most of the variation of synonymous codon usage among these virus genes, while gene function is also correlated to synonymous codon usages to a certain extent. However, translational selection and gene length have no effect on the variations of synonymous codon usage in these virus genes.

为了测定大肠杆菌和杆状病毒表达的重组马g-干扰素是否具有抗病毒活性, 利用这两种干扰素处理马胎肾细胞(EFK-78), 然后接种表达绿色荧光蛋白(GFP)的重组水泡性口炎病毒(VSV*GFP), 观察干扰素对病毒表达GFP的抑制, 测出其抗病毒活性单位分别为1×103 AU/mL、1×105 AU/mL。评价了制备的九株抗重组马g-干扰素单克隆抗体是否可抑制重组马g-干扰素抗病毒活性, 证实其中一株可中和重组马g-干扰素的抗病毒活性。结果表明: 杆状病毒表达的马g-干扰素具有较高的抗病毒活性, 其活性可被一株制备的抗重组马g-干扰素单克隆抗体抑制; 首次获得原核表达的具有抗病毒活性的马g-干扰素。     

Changes of intracellular Na+ concentration in erythrocytes caused by pulsed electrical field

Changes of sodium ionic concentration of human erythrocytes applied to pulsed electrical field (PEF) were studied by using shift reagent and NMR spectroscopy. The results show that the concentration of intracellular Na⁺ increases with the increasing intensity of PEF when the erythrocytes are applied to PEF with higher intensities. The relationship between intracellular Na concentrations and the intensities of PEF does not follow linear or exponen-tial behavior. As the intensities increase, the intracellular Na⁺concentrations increase even faster by an exponential curve. However under effects of PEF at lower intensities, intracellular Na⁺ concentration decreases. Ouabain can in-hibit the decrease of intracellular Na concentration, and the inhibition increases with the increasing concentration of ouabain, suggesting that Na⁺ , K⁺ -ATPase on cell membrane can be activated by PEF at lower intensities. Direct measurement of activities of the enzyme by using Malachite green method has confirmed this observation. Cell perme-abilities to ions, activation of enzymes by electrical fields and transmission of physical signals like PEF across cell mem-branes are discussed.     

三种同域分布喉毛花的繁殖分配

以青藏高原高寒草甸中三种同域分布的喉毛花为研究对象,通过比较三个种的植株性状和繁殖分配,探讨繁殖分配的种间差异及其与植株个体大小的关系。结果表明:(1)三个种的植株高度、顶花大小和单株花数目、繁殖分配均存在种间差异,这可能与其各自的交配系统和具体的生境以及相应的生活史对策有关;(2)在三种喉毛花中,投入到营养器官和繁殖器官的绝对资源量均呈显著正相关,未检测到植株生长和繁殖间的权衡关系;(3)三个种的个体大小与繁殖器官生物量均呈显著正相关,而与繁殖分配均呈显著负相关,这表明个体越大,繁殖投入越高,而繁殖分配越低,与以往研究结果一致,这可能是由于繁殖分配与个体大小之间存在异速关系。
