Neuroglobin基因体内转染对水杨酸钠给药后小鼠下丘核神经元听反应的影响

实验以48只成年健康昆明小鼠为实验对象,研究GeneJamer转染试剂介导的neuroglobin(NGB)基因体内转染对水杨酸钠给药后小鼠下丘核区听反应的影响。实验分4组,每组12只。A1组:对照组1(阴性对照,将GeneJamer转染试剂6μl和pEGFP-C12μg混合后注入下丘核脑区);A2组:对照组2[阳性对照,将GeneJamer转染试剂(6μl)和pEGFP-NGB(质粒载体pEGFP-C1与NGB基因全编码序列构建的重组子2μg)混合后注入下丘核脑区];B组:水杨酸钠给药组(450mg/kg·d-1)+pEGFP-C1;C组:水杨酸钠(450mg/kg.d-1)+pEGFP-NGB组。以直接注射法将GeneJamer转染试剂和重组质粒pEGFP-NGB混合后注入小鼠下丘核区。采用RT-PCR和Westernblot技术检测小鼠下丘核区NGBmRNA和蛋白的表达;采用细胞外记录技术,研究小鼠下丘核区神经元在水杨酸钠给药后转染重组质粒pEGFP-NGB对强度-发放率函数(刺激声强与实验鼠下丘核区神经元在接受声刺激所产生的电发放的关系曲线)、强度-潜伏期函数(刺激声强与实验鼠下丘核区神经元在接受声刺激至产生电发放潜伏期之间的关系曲线)和频率调谐曲线(实验鼠下丘核区神经元在各个频率纯音刺激下起反应的阈值绘制的曲线)的影响。实验观察到:(1)经GeneJamer转染试剂介导NGB基因可有效地转染小鼠下丘核区脑组织并得到表达。(2)水杨酸钠给药后神经元的强度-发放率函数曲线升高。对照组A1、A2各项指标进行比较均无统计学意义。对照组A1、A2和水杨酸钠+pEGFP-NGB组神经元的强度-发放率函数以非单调型(随刺激强度增加时,发放率表现为先降后升呈“V”形或“U”形)为主,分别占74.6%、72.2%和59.3%,水杨酸钠给药组以不规则型强度-发放率函数为主,占47%,与对照组A1、A2和水杨酸钠+pEGFP-NGB组比较,有显著性差异(P<0.01、P<0.01、P<0.05)。(3)水杨酸钠给药后神经元的强度-潜伏期函数曲线降低。对照组A1、A2各项指标进行比较均无统计学意义。水杨酸钠给药组以非单调型强度-潜伏期率函数为主,与对照组A1、A2和水杨酸钠+pEGFP-NGB组比较,有显著性差异(P<0.01、P<0.05)。(4)A1和A2对照组听反应神经元的调谐曲线,Q-10dB值均大于5.00,其调谐曲线为狭窄型。记录水杨酸钠给药组72个听神经元的调谐曲线,有53个神经元的Q-10dB值小于5.00,Q-10dB值最小为2.12,其调谐曲线为宽阔型;其余19个神经元的Q-10dB值大于5.00,属于狭窄型调谐曲线。水杨酸钠+pEGFP-NGB组67个听神经元的调谐曲线,有12个神经元的Q-10dB值小于5.00,Q-10dB值最小为2.87,其调谐曲线为宽阔型,其它的神经元的值大于5.00。它们的调谐曲线均属狭窄型。以上结果提示外源性NGB基因在水杨酸钠给药后小鼠下丘核区局部高表达,提示GeneJamer转染试剂介导NGB体内转基因治疗水杨酸钠引起的下丘核区的损伤的方法是可行的。实验小鼠转染NGB基因后可逆转因水杨酸钠给药引起的强度-发放率函数曲线升高以及强度-潜伏期函数曲线降低,并可逆转水杨酸钠引起的部分听神经元对声刺激强度的编码类型。

Mesenchymal stem cell-derived exosomes: A novel and potential remedy for cutaneous wound healing and regeneration

Poor healing of cutaneous wounds is a common medical problem in the field of traumatology. Due to the intricate pathophysiological processes of wound healing, the use of conventional treatment methods, such as chemical molecule drugs and traditional dressings, have been unable to achieve satisfactory outcomes. Within recent years, explicit evidence suggests that mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) have great therapeutic potentials on skin wound healing and regeneration. However, the direct application of MSCs still faces many challenges and difficulties. Intriguingly, exosomes as cell-secreted granular vesicles with a lipid bilayer membrane structure and containing specific components from the source cells may emerge to be excellent substitutes for MSCs. Exosomes derived from MSCs (MSC-exosomes) have been demonstrated to be beneficial for cutaneous wound healing and accelerate the process through a variety of mechanisms. These mechanisms include alleviating inflammation, promoting vascularization, and promoting proliferation and migration of epithelial cells and fibroblasts. Therefore, the application of MSC-exosomes may be a promising alternative to cell therapy in the treatment of cutaneous wounds and could promote wound healing through multiple mechanisms simultaneously. This review will provide an overview of the role and the mechanisms of MSC-derived exosomes in cutaneous wound healing, and elaborate the potentials and future perspectives of MSC-exosomes application in clinical practice.     

类叶升麻(毛茛科)自花传粉机制

毛茛科类叶升麻(Actaea asiatica)有2种开花方式, 一种与同属其它植物相同, 花萼片在开花早期脱落, 花药远离柱头; 而另一种较为特殊, 能使该植物进行自花授粉, 即在花开放前, 花萼从花托上脱离, 但萼片并不张开, 部分雄蕊的花丝伸长, 将花药推入萼片和柱头之间, 收缩的花萼片将开裂的花药压在宽大的柱头上, 进而完成自花授粉。套袋实验结果表明, 类叶升麻自发自交具有很高的结籽率, 不具有孤雌生殖和风媒传粉。繁育系统估测分析结果显示, 类叶升麻自交亲和,为兼性自交的繁育系统。

Heterologous expression of wild type and deglycosylated human sex steroid-binding protein (SBP or SHBG) in the yeast, Pichia pastoris. Characterization of the recombinant proteins.

Wild type, partially and fully-deglycosylated human sex steroid-binding protein (SBP or SHBG) cDNAs lacking the native cucaryotic signal sequence were cloned into a yeast expression vector containing the Saccharomyces cerevisiae alpha-factor for extracellular secretion. Following transformation into Pichia pastoris, the wild type and all constructed mutants were successfully expressed. The levels were lower for the deglycosylated mutants indicating that oligosaccharide side chains may play a role in SBP secretion. Under fermentation conditions, the wild type protein was expressed at a level of 4 mg/l while the fully-deglycosylated mutant T7A/N351Q/N367Q was expressed at about 1.5 mg/l. The latter was purified from several fermentation runs and was found to be completely deglycosylated, electrophoretically homogeneous and fully active. The aminoterminus was found to have the sequence NH2QSAHDPPAV- indicating that cleavage of the alpha-factor occurred at the A(+7)-Q(+8) peptide bond. The molecular mass of the subunit was determined to be 39,717.8 Da, which is in complete agreement with the amino acid sequence of the T7A/N351Q/N367/Q mutant. The equilibrium constants for the dissociation of 5alpha-dihydrotestosterone and steroid binding specificity were found to be identical to that of the human plasma protein indicating that the missing N-terminal segment NH2-LRPVLPT and the removal of oligosaccharide side chains do not affect the stability and active conformation of the protein. In conclusion, the data presented reveal that the SBP mutant T7A/N351Q/N367/Q is the protein of choice for solving the three-dimensional structure.

Enzymatic Process Enhances the Flavour Profile and Increases the Proportion of Esters in Citrus Essential Oils

Citrus essential oils (CEOs) are important flavors in the food and confectionary industries. A lipase process was proposed for enhancing the flavor profiles and increasing the proportions of esters in CEOs. The effects of the enzymatic process were explored by detecting the constituents of the CEOs of American sweet orange oil (ASO) and Brazil mandarin oil (BMO) through GC/MS and sensory evaluation by a trained panel, and positive effects were confirmed by both methods. A further eleven kinds of CEOs were treated via the lipase process and increments of 10 – 1170% were achieved in the proportions of esters, which were mostly ethyl esters. Enhancement in fruity odor, especially the top note, was demonstrated by all CEOs after enzymatic processing. All CEOs were tested for antimicrobial activities, and only ASO displayed fairly ideal antimicrobial activities. Meanwhile, modified ASO showed a certain increase in antimicrobial activities. This methodology might be considered a sustainable route for acquiring ‘natural’ essential oils with enhanced flavor profiles and simultaneously enhancing the comprehensive utilization of citrus fruits.
