前列腺素E_2、F_(2α)对大鼠颗粒细胞PA活力的影响

年龄26—27天的Wistar雌鼠用PMSG与HCG诱导成熟,同时分别注射3、6、9 mg消炎痛,分离卵巢颗粒细胞并离体培养,培液中的PA活力经~(125)Ⅰ-纤维蛋白降解法检测,均无被抑制现象(图1)。仅用PMSG激动大鼠的颗粒细胞离体培养于含HCG及不同浓度(10~(-8)mol/L—10~(-5)mol/L)的消炎痛培液内,各组PA活力均未出现明显变化(图2)。离体条件下PGE_2增强PMSG激动大鼠颗粒细胞PA活力的事实说明,消炎痛抑制实验未能显示前列腺素与PA的关系,可能因所用以诱导大鼠临近排卵的PMSG和HCG分别所含FSH与LH的高活力促使PA活力达到最高点,以致前列腺素对PA的影响被掩盖;PGF_(2α)对PA未显示任何作用(图4)。另外,PGE_2使仅接受PMSG大鼠颗粒细胞PA升高的事实(图3)提示,PGE_2有摹拟LH的作用;未经PMSG与HCG处理鼠的卵泡细胞的PA活力也受PGE_2的影响,说明它还有摹拟FSH的作用。     

小麂、黑麂、赤麂精母细胞联会复合体的比较研究

本工作以界面铺张——硝酸银染色技术,对小麂(Muntiacus reeuesi)、黑麂(M.crinifrons)和赤麂(M.muntjak)的精母细胞联会复合体(Syna ptonemal complex,SC)进行亚显微结构的比较研究。结果表明: 1.SC的平均相对长度和臂比指数同有丝分裂细胞相应染色体的数值有很好的一致性。根据SC的相对长度和臂比指数绘制了三种麂的SC组型图。雄性黑麂减数分裂前期形成一个复杂的易位多价体,意味着其核型的演化过程涉及两次染色体易位和一次臂间倒位。 2.在减数分裂前期,性染色体的形态和行为同常染色体的有明显差异,如性染色体嗜银性较强,配对延迟等。XY的配对起始于早粗线期,在中粗线期,Y的全长均同X配对;XY-SC开始解体于晚粗线期。 3.在粗线期,X染色体未配对区域出现自身折叠,形成“发夹”状结构。这种“发夹”结构的形成,可能是在性染色体的进化过程中,X染色体通过不对称易位得到的重复片段在减数分裂前期同源配对的一种细胞学表现。

Transforming activities of sodium fluoride in cultured Syrian hamster embryo and BALB/3T3 cells

The transforming activity of sodium fluoride was studied in the SHE and the BALBl3T3 cell culture systems. Initiating and promoting activities were then investigated by means of the orthogonal methodology. Sodium fluoride was found to induce morphological transformation of SHE cells seeded on a feeder layer of X-irradiated cells at high concentrations (75–125 g/ ml). When the cells were seeded in the absence of a feeder-layer, the transformation frequencies increased in a dose-dependent manner with the concentrations of sodium fluoride ranging from 0 to the highly toxic concentration of 200 g/ml. In the BALBl3T3 cell system, sodium fluoride was negative in the standard Kakunaga procedure, while through the experiment designed by table L₈ (2⁷) of the orthogonal method, an initiating-like effect and a weak promoting activity were detected within the concentrations ranging from a 25 g/ ml to a 50 g/ ml concentration which is highly toxic for BALBl3T3 cells. From these results, it is suggested that, besides a genetic mode of action, sodium fluoride could possibly act through a non-genotoxic mechanism.Abbreviations CE cloning efficiency - NaF sodium fluoride - SHE Syrian hamster embryo - TF transformation frequency

慈菇匍匐茎中分泌道的初步研究

慈茹匍蔔茎的分泌道是裂生的胞间道,分布于匍匐茎的基本组织中。单个分泌道原始细胞起始于离茎端约1毫米处的基本分生组织中,原始细胞经分裂形成5—7个上皮细胞包围着中央的裂生腔隙,成为管道系统。上皮细胞无鞘细胞包围。上皮细胞中高尔基体和内质网发达,并溢出小囊泡向着分泌道腔隙面壁的质膜附近迁移,乳汁中亦存在大量完整的小囊泡。上皮细胞和外围薄壁细胞之间的壁层具有大量胞间连丝,小囊泡和内质网的膜结构与胞间连丝末端相接,同时可见上皮细胞的质膜在数处反折内陷,形成袋状结构,在与上皮细胞相对的薄壁细胞内也有同样现象出现,袋状结构内含小形颗粒或囊泡,并在结构上显示出上皮细胞与相邻薄壁细胞间存在着活跃的物质交流。由此认为。代谢物质以整体小囊泡的形式经胞间连丝或内陷的质膜向分泌道迁移是物质运输和分泌的可能方式之一。在电镜下观察,液泡中的积聚物与乳汁十分相似,液泡可能是乳汁的贮存场所之一。

Shoot-bud regeneration in subcultured callus of engelmann spruce

Summary Callus cultures ofPicea engelmannii (Parry, Engelmann spruce) were initiated and established from mature embryos cultured on von Arnold and Eriksson’s medium (AE) supplemented with N⁶-benzyladenine (10μM) and naphthalene acetic acid (10 μM). Cultures were maintained by subculture at 3-to-4-wk intervals. After three subcultures, callus was transferred to AE medium with only N⁶-benzyladenine (25 μM). Adventitious buds appeared on the surface of the callus after 2-to 4-wk and grew to adventitious shoots on AE medium without growth hormones or on AE medium with kinetin (0.1 μM). Shoot-forming capacity was maintained through 7 further subcultures. This study was supported by the Natural Sciences and Engineering Research Council of Canada grant G1438 to T. A. Thorpe and D. I. Dunstan.     

Protein synthesis in the hippocampus associated with memory facilitation by corticotropin-releasing factor in rats.

The present study used pharmacological, biochemical, and behavioral methods to examine the role of protein synthesis in the hippocampus in memory processes of a passive avoidance learning in rats. Results indicated that corticotropin-releasing factor (CRF) significantly improved memory retention in rats. Both cycloheximide (CHX) and actinomycin-D (ACT-D) impaired memory at high doses. At doses of CHX and ACT-D that did not affect memory alone, they both antagonized the memory-enhancing effect of CRF. Biochemically, there were specific increases in the optical density of three protein bands in the cytosolic fraction of hippocampal cells in rats showing good memory. There were also marked increases in the optical density of two protein bands in the nucleus fraction of the same animals. Similar results were observed in animals injected with CRF. However, no significant protein alteration was observed in animals receiving stress. These results together suggest that there are new protein syntheses in the hippocampus that are specifically associated with passive avoidance learning in rats.
