恒磁场抑制缺血缺氧条件下大鼠骨髓间充质干细胞凋亡

目的:研究恒磁场对体外缺血缺氧培养条件下大鼠骨髓间充质干细胞(Bone marrow-derived mesenchymal stem cells,BMSCs) 凋亡的影响并探讨其作用机制.方法:采取大鼠骨髓,以密度梯度离心分离出单个核细胞(MNCs),于体外培养并由牛垂体提取物(PEX)诱导扩增传代培养出骨髓间充质干细胞(MSCs).经形态学和流式细胞仪检测MSCs表面标志物鉴定后,将骨髓间充质干细胞(BMSCs)在缺血缺氧条件下培养,通过TUNEL检测比较不同组别细胞的凋亡率和蛋白印迹法(western blot)来观察细胞中特定蛋白质的变化.结果:①经形态学观察和流式细胞仪检测MSCs表面标志物鉴定,提示骨髓间充质干细胞培养成功.②缺血/缺氧组与缺血/缺氧+磁场组比较,缺血缺氧组的凋亡率显著性增加,Akt磷酸化水平显著上升(P＜0.05).提示恒磁场可以使PI3K(Phosphoinositide-3kinase)/Akt(ProteinkinaseB,PKB)信号通路被激活而抑制凋亡的发生.结论:恒磁场通过激活PI3K/Akt信号通路抑制体外缺血缺氧条件下培养的骨髓间充质干细胞的凋亡.

有机磷农药草甘膦异丙胺盐对赤潮异弯藻的毒物干扰效应

以我国典型赤潮藻赤潮异弯藻(Heterosigma akashiwo)为研究对象,设置了6个浓度梯度(0 mg·L^-1、0.001mg·L^-1、0.01 mg·L^-1、0.1 mg·L^-1、1 mg·L^-1和10 mg·L^-1)的草甘膦异丙胺盐处理,研究了草甘膦异丙胺盐暴露对赤潮异弯藻的生长、叶绿素a含量和可溶性蛋白含量等指标的影响.结果表明,草甘膦异丙胺盐对赤潮异弯藻具有明显的毒性效应,10 mg·L^-1浓度处理下,赤潮异弯藻细胞大量死亡,藻细胞密度以及叶绿素a、可溶性蛋白的含量显著降低(p<0.05);当草甘膦异丙胺盐浓度在0.001～1 mg·L^-1范围内,在培养的第3 d草甘膦异丙胺盐能够显著促进赤潮异弯藻的细胞密度增加,叶绿素a含量也明显高于对照组(p<0.05),表现出毒物刺激效应;在暴露实验的中后期(第7 d、第9 d和第11 d),赤潮异弯藻的各生长指标均与对照无显著差异,可能是随着培养时间的延长,农药的降解、生物体对农药的适应、进入细胞的农药减少等原因,藻细胞生理状态逐渐恢复到正常水平.     

Molecular biology of wound-inducible proteinase inhibitors in plants

Abstract. The techniques of molecular biology are being employed to investigate at the gene level the systemically mediated, wound-induced accumulation of two defensive proteinase inhibitor proteins in plant leaves. These techniques have added a new dimension to biochemical and physiological studies already underway to understand the mechanism of induction by wounding. The acquisition of cDNAs from the RNAs coding for the two inhibitors facilitated studies of mRNA synthesis in leaves in response to wounding, and provided probes to obtain wound-inducible proteinase inhibitor genes from tomato ( Lycopersicon esculentum ) and potato (Solarium tuberosum) genomes. Successful transformations of tobacco plants with fused genes, containing the 5' and 3' regions of the inhibitor genes with the open reading frame of the chloramphenicol acelyltransferase ( cat ) gene, have provided a wound-inducible chloramphenicol acetyltransferase (CATase) activity with which to seek cis- and transacting elements that regulate wound-inducibility to help to understand the interaction of cytoplasmic and nuclear components of the intracellular communication systems that activate the proteinase inhibitor genes in response to wounding by insect pests.     

The production-influencing factors of extracellular polysacchadde(EPS) from a Strain of lactic acid bacteria and EPS extraction

The influencing factors of extracellular polysaccharide(EPS)produced from a strain of lactic acid bacteria(LAB L15)were studied by using the phenol-H2SO4 method.It was demonstrated that the strain produced EPS at the most amount when it was incubated for 40-48 h and when the pH value was 4 under 30℃.Glucose was the most suitable carbon source for LAB-producing EPS.The rough EPS was obtained from L15 culture after centrifugation,dialysis,deprotein,decoloration,and ethanol-precipitation.The sample was at least composed of two polysaccharides mat were completely different in molecular weight and the amount.The purified EPS was passed through the SephadexG-200 colunm and it showed that it was a sample purified by thin layer chromatography.     

过表达热休克蛋白70提高CHO细胞表达抗体的能力

通过在中国仓鼠卵巢细胞(CHO)中过表达热休克蛋白70以提高其表达抗体的能力。首先从中国仓鼠基因组DNA中扩取HSP70基因,构建真核表达质粒pcDNA3.1-HSP70,再将重组质粒稳定转染到CHO/dhfr-细胞中,筛选获得稳定的细胞系,运用RT-qPCR检测和Western blot分析HSP70基因的过表达。在过表达HSP70的CHO细胞组和对照细胞组(转染空载体pcDNA3.1的CHO细胞组)中分别转染表达抗-HBs的质粒,应用ELISA检测两组细胞表达抗-HBs的能力。RT-qPCR结果显示实验组CHO细胞中HSP70基因的表达量明显高于对照组细胞;ELISA检测结果表明过表达HSP70的CHO细胞组抗-HBs表达量高于对照组细胞(P<0.05)。研究揭示HSP70能有效促进细胞内分泌性蛋白的表达。     

宁夏盐池荒漠草原植被的数量分类和排序

为检验荒漠草原封育恢复的效果,对宁夏盐池围封9年的退化草场进行了植被调查,共记录34个物种,分属于12个科、27个属,其中豆科(9种)、禾本科(7种)、菊科(6种)所含物种数较多.与封育前相比,物种组成基本相同,常见种和建群种发生了明显变化.采用PCA排序和分层聚类将80个样方分为长芒草、白草、赖草3个群系,依据建群种或优势种的生物学特性将其生境划分为旱生生境、中生生境和轻度盐渍化生境.3个群系的演替速率不同,其中长芒草群系演替进入反应阶段,赖草群系的演替等级相对较高.群系间存在激烈的资源竞争关系,风蚀能够促进赖草群系的进一步扩大.建议通过划区轮牧的方式合理调控长芒草群系和赖草群系的放牧时期,以提高草场的放牧利用价值,降低赖草群系的扩张危险.

Effect of anti-mosquito antibodies on the infectivity of the rodent malaria parasite Plasmodium berghei to Anopheles farauti

The effect of mouse anti-mosquito antibodies, present in the bloodmeal, on the infectivity of Plasmodium berghei Vincke to Anopheles farauti Laveran was investigated. Significantly fewer oocysts developed in mosquitoes feeding on mice immunized with sugar-fed mosquito midgut antigens than in mosquitoes feeding on control mice. Mosquitoes feeding on mice immunized with the midgut antigens derived from sugar-fed mosquitoes also showed reduced mortality and had lower infection rates than those fed on unimmunized mice. Blood-fed midgut antigen was less effective in producing these effects than sugar-fed midgut antigen.     

Production of DON-related trichothecenes byFusarium graminearum Schw from Krasnodarski krai of the USSR

34Fusarium graminearum Schw isolates produced 4-deoxynivalenol to form significant amounts of 4, 7 — dideoxynivalenol and lesser amounts of 4 — deoxynivalenol monoacetates on grain substratesin vitro. This is the first report on the capability a large group of naturally occurring isolates to produce 4,7-dideoxynivalenol. The average levels of 4,7-dideoxynivalenol on rice, corn, barley, and wheat as a substrate were respectively 26.8, 14.0, 12.8, and 10.5% of the level of 4-deoxynivalenol. 4, 7 — dideoxynivalenol was present in all examined naturally contaminated wheat kernel samples at levels of 1.7 to 7.9% of the level of 4-deoxynivalenol. These findings suggest that more attention should be given to the occurrence of 4,7-dideoxynivalenol in cereals.
