虎纹蛙消化道肥大细胞类胰蛋白酶免疫组化研究

研究采用小鼠抗人肥大细胞类胰蛋白酶单克隆抗体AA1,应用ElivisionTM plus免疫组化染色法对虎纹蛙(Rana tigrina rugulosa)消化道组织中类胰蛋白酶阳性肥大细胞存在的可能性进行研究。研究发现单克隆抗体AAl可与中性缓冲福马林液固定的虎纹蛙组织的肥大细胞获得良好的交叉反应,类胰蛋白酶阳性细胞胞浆染成棕黄色,证实虎纹蛙肥大细胞胞浆颗粒中也存在类胰蛋白酶。虎纹蛙组织中AA1免疫染色阳性细胞的分布,与AB/SO和改良甲苯胺兰染色阳性细胞的分布存在较大的差异:虎纹蛙类胰蛋白酶阳性细胞数量很少,且阳性反应比人胃癌间质肥大细胞弱,主要见于黏膜型肥大细胞(MMC)分布区域,如消化道黏膜上皮下方和固有层,少量分布于肠绒毛基底部及食管腺和胃腺周围。而在结缔组织型肥大细胞(CTMC)分布区域,如消化道黏膜下层结缔组织中却未见类胰蛋白酶阳性细胞。AB/SO和改良甲苯胺兰染色阳性细胞数量多,广泛分布于消化道黏膜固有层、黏膜下层、腺体之间、肌间及外膜结缔组织,说明并不是所有的虎纹蛙肥大细胞都含有类胰蛋白酶。很有可能是虎纹蛙MMC中含有类胰蛋白酶,而CTMC中不含类胰蛋白酶。虎纹蛙类胰蛋白酶阳性细胞数量很少,且阳性反应比人胃癌间质肥大细胞弱,说明虎纹蛙肥大细胞胞浆颗粒类胰蛋白酶含量较少,虎纹蛙属于低等脊椎动物,可能与生物进化水平较低有关,有待进一步研究。

Preparation of cationic cotton with two-bath pad-bake process and its application in salt-free dyeing

Cationic cotton was prepared by a designed two-bath pad-bake process with 3-chloro-2-hydroxypropyltrimethylammonium chloride as cationizing reagent to realize recycle utilization of the reagent and continuous processing of cationization. Experiments showed that 8.0% (o.w.bath) of the reagent, 1:1 of molar ratio of sodium hydroxide to the reagent, 60 °C and 6 min of baking temperature and time were selected for cationization and the obtained cationic cotton was suitable for application in salt-free reactive dyeing. The structures of both the untreated and cationic fibers were investigated by X-ray diffraction and scanning electronic microscopy. Higher dye utilization and color yields could be realized on the cationic cotton than that on the untreated one in the conventional dyeing. Levelness dyeing and good fastness properties of the dyes on the cationic fabrics were obtained. Besides, colorimetric properties and mechanical strength of the dyed fabrics were both evaluated to show applicability of this preparation process of cationic cotton.     

Identification of new autoantigens for primary biliary cirrhosis using human proteome microarrays

Primary biliary cirrhosis (PBC) is a chronic cholestatic liver disease of unknown etiology and is considered to be an autoimmune disease. Autoantibodies are important tools for accurate diagnosis of PBC. Here, we employed serum profiling analysis using a human proteome microarray composed of about 17,000 full-length unique proteins and identified 23 proteins that correlated with PBC. To validate these results, we fabricated a PBC-focused microarray with 21 of these newly identified candidates and nine additional known PBC antigens. By screening the PBC microarrays with additional cohorts of 191 PBC patients and 321 controls (43 autoimmune hepatitis, 55 hepatitis B virus, 31 hepatitis C virus, 48 rheumatoid arthritis, 45 systematic lupus erythematosus, 49 systemic sclerosis, and 50 healthy), six proteins were confirmed as novel PBC autoantigens with high sensitivities and specificities, including hexokinase-1 (isoforms I and II), Kelch-like protein 7, Kelch-like protein 12, zinc finger and BTB domain-containing protein 2, and eukaryotic translation initiation factor 2C, subunit 1. To facilitate clinical diagnosis, we developed ELISA for Kelch-like protein 12 and zinc finger and BTB domain-containing protein 2 and tested large cohorts (297 PBC and 637 control sera) to confirm the sensitivities and specificities observed in the microarray-based assays. In conclusion, our research showed that a strategy using high content protein microarray combined with a smaller but more focused protein microarray can effectively identify and validate novel PBC-specific autoantigens and has the capacity to be translated to clinical diagnosis by means of an ELISA-based method.     

CircPRMT5 circular RNA promotes proliferation of colorectal cancer through sponging miR-377 to induce E2F3 expression

CircPRTM5 is associated with cell proliferation and migration in many kinds of malignancies. However, the functions and mechanisms of CircPRTM5 in CRC progression remain unclear. We explored the role and the mechanisms of CircPRTM5 in the development of CRC. Tissues of CRC patients and matched adjacent non-tumour tissues were collected to evaluate the expression of CircPRTM5. The expression of CircPRTM5 in CRC tissues was significantly higher than that in adjacent tissues. The biological functions of CircPRTM5 in CRC were determined by overexpression and down-regulation of CircPRTM5 in CRC cells in vitro and in vivo. The results indicate that knockdown of CircPRTM5 can significantly inhibit the proliferation of CRC cells. The potential mechanisms of CircPRTM5 in CRC development were identified by RT-qPCR, Western blotting analysis and luciferase reporter assay. CircPRTM5 competitively regulates the expression of E2F3 by capillary adsorption of miR-377. CircPRMT5 regulates CRC proliferation by regulating the expression of E2F3, which affects the expression of the cell cycle-associated proteins cyclinD1 and CDK2. CircPRTM5 exerts critical regulatory role in CRC progression by sponging miR-377 to induce E2F3 expression.     

格网尺度下典型旅游城市生态服务价值估算和时空分异特征——以三亚为例

以典型旅游城市三亚市为案例地,利用2006-2018年4期Landsat遥感影像数据,借助ENVI、ArcGIS平台定量识别土地利用演变特征,在1km×1km格网尺度下估算旅游地生态系统服务价值,并结合空间探索性数据分析揭示生态系统服务价值时空分异特征及其与旅游地发展的时空耦合关系。结果表明：（1）2006-2018年间,三亚市生态系统服务价值总量呈逐年下降趋势,由6.73×10⁹元降至5.76×10⁹元,累计减少9.78×10⁸元;（2）空间格局上,三亚市呈"南低北高"空间分异格局,2006-2018年增值区域连片分布于崖州区、天涯区、吉阳区南部区域,且呈逐年减少趋势,减值区域集聚于天涯区东北部、海棠区;（3）空间集聚上,生态系统服务价值截面各年份均呈显著空间正相关且相关性先降后增。高高集聚区位于天涯区北部区域,低低集聚区分布于沿海、海湾地区;（4）旅游发展与生态系统服务价值时空演化特征关联性较强。三亚市天涯区北部林地生态环境良好,生态系统服务价值略有下降但绝对数值稳定,是生态系统服务价值主要来源;旅游发展较为迅速的三亚湾、崖州湾以及海棠湾,相对增值区域较多,但绝对生态系统服务价值损失显著,严重滞后于其他区域。     

Synthesis and Antiproliferative Activities of Novel Substituted 5‐Anilino‐α‐Glucofuranose Derivatives

In order to find novel antitumor candidate agents with high efficiency and low toxicity, 14 novel substituted 5‐anilino‐α‐glucofuranose derivatives have been designed, synthesized and evaluated for antiproliferative activities in vitro. Their structures were characterized by NMR (¹H and ¹³C) and HR‐MS, and configuration (R/S) at C(5) was identified by two‐dimensional ¹H,¹H‐NOESY‐NMR spectrum. Their antiproliferative activities against human tumor cells were investigated by MTT assay. The results demonstrated that most of the synthesized compounds had antiproliferative effects comparable to the reference drugs gefitinib and lapatinib. In particular, (5R)‐5‐O‐(3‐chloro‐4‐{[5‐(4‐fluorophenyl)thiophen‐2‐yl]methyl}anilino)‐5‐deoxy‐1,2‐O‐(1‐methylethylidene)‐α‐glucofuranose ( 9da ) showed the most potent antiproliferative effects against SW480, A431 and A549 cells, with IC₅₀ values of 8.57, 5.15 and 15.24 μm , respectively. This work suggested 5‐anilino‐α‐glucofuranose as an antitumor core structure that may open a new way to develop more potent anti‐cancer agents.
