水稻抗褐飞虱基因SCAR标记的获得

采用282个随机引物对药用野生稻1665和栽培稻桂99远缘杂交的抗褐飞虱近等基因系B3F4分离群体的不抗池DNA和抗池DNA进行了特异性RAPD标记筛选,从中筛选到一个具有明显的特异性扩增带谱的RAPD标记S1159,序列分析表明,S1159序列长度为1408bp,与基因库中已报道的水稻第四号染色体的BAC克隆(编号OSJNBa0070O11)序列(67114-69100)有51.86%的同源性。为了提高所找到的RAPD标记S1159在应用上的稳定性,将RAPD标记转化为SCAR标记检测近等基因系群体,结果表明与RAPD标记结果一致,说明该研究得到的RAPD标记具有较好的稳定性和重复性,为进一步的研究打下了良好的基础。     

Normalization approaches for removing systematic biases associated with mass spectrometry and label-free proteomics

Central tendency, linear regression, locally weighted regression, and quantile techniques were investigated for normalization of peptide abundance measurements obtained from high-throughput liquid chromatography-Fourier transform ion cyclotron resonance mass spectrometry (LC-FTICR MS). Arbitrary abundances of peptides were obtained from three sample sets, including a standard protein sample, two Deinococcus radiodurans samples taken from different growth phases, and two mouse striatum samples from control and methamphetamine-stressed mice (strain C57BL/6). The selected normalization techniques were evaluated in both the absence and presence of biological variability by estimating extraneous variability prior to and following normalization. Prior to normalization, replicate runs from each sample set were observed to be statistically different, while following normalization replicate runs were no longer statistically different. Although all techniques reduced systematic bias to some degree, assigned ranks among the techniques revealed that for most LC-FTICR-MS analyses linear regression normalization ranked either first or second. However, the lack of a definitive trend among the techniques suggested the need for additional investigation into adapting normalization approaches for label-free proteomics. Nevertheless, this study serves as an important step for evaluating approaches that address systematic biases related to relative quantification and label-free proteomics.

Targeting CD24 for treatment of ovarian cancer by short hairpin RNA

Background aimsCD24 is markedly overexpressed in ovarian cancer and plays a critical role in ovarian cancer survival and metastasis, rendering it an interesting target for anti-tumor therapy. Using short hairpin RNA (shRNA) targeting CD24, we aimed to investigate the anti-tumor efficacy of CD24 knockdown in ovarian cancer cells in vitro and in vivo.MethodsCD24 shRNA vector (CD24–shRNA) and empty plasmid vector (EP) were transfected into ovarian cancer SKOV3 cells and the knockdown efficacy assessed by Western blot analysis. The effects of CD24 knockdown in SKOV3 cells in vitro, including cell viability and apoptosis, were determined using methyl thiazolyl blue tetrazolium bromide (MTT), flow cytometry and propidium iodide (PI) staining assays. The effects in vivo of CD24 knockdown on angiogenesis, cell proliferation and apoptosis were assessed using immunohistochemistry against CD31, proliferating cell nuclear antigen (PCNA) and terminal deoxynucleotidyl transferase-mediated nick end-labeling (TUNEL) assays.ResultsTransfection of CD24–shRNA effectively down-regulated CD24 expression in vitro and in vivo. Administration of CD24–shRNA into nude mice bearing ovarian cancer significantly suppressed tumor volume growth.ConclusionsKnockdown of CD24 expression by CD24–shRNA significantly inhibited cell viability and induced apoptosis of SKOV3 cells in vitro. Administration with CD24–shRNA in vivo suppressed tumor volume increase by microvessel density (MVD) decrease, cell proliferation inhibition and apoptosis induction. All the data suggested that knockdown of CD24 by shRNA might be a potential therapeutic approach against human ovarian cancer.     

一类蛙源非典型结构抗菌肽cDNA的克隆以及成熟肽的预测

抗菌肽是两栖类非特异性免疫的重要组成部分,具有广谱的抗菌、抗病毒、抗肿瘤、抗寄生虫等活性,而且不易产生耐药性.抗菌肽的功能发挥与其特有的α螺旋结构密切相关,但是一些抗菌肽在水溶液中呈无规则卷曲,在类膜溶液中才转变成α螺旋,这类抗菌肽往往表现出极强的抗菌肽活性或细胞毒性,在药物开发中提供更多的利用潜能.本文从东北林蛙(Rana dybowskii)皮肤组织中,通过RT-PCR技术,克隆了一类无规则卷曲的抗菌肽,属于chensirin-2家族.19条不同的抗菌肽的cDNA序列共编码3种长度为14个氨基酸残基的成熟肽,分子量在1450.78-1460.82之间,理论等电点在9.53-9.70之间,3种抗菌肽都有两亲性和阳离子性,二级结构呈现无规卷曲.这些理化性质预示着这3种抗菌肽可能具有特殊的药用价值.
