以基因枪介导获转ps1—barnase基因的工程雄性不育水稻植株

以ps1-barnase(brn)为目的基因,pHcintG(PG)为选择/标记基因进行共转化,以PDS-1000-氦气基因枪介导,将brn及PG基因转化到水稻台北309及秋光的核DNA中,得到了转ps1-barnase基因的工程雄性不育植株。以悬浮细胞作为基因枪轰击的靶材料,转化植株再生频率较初级愈伤组织的为高。转brn基因植株的其他主要性状与供体亲本无显著差异,但却表现不育。其不育的程度在不同的植株之间表现不同。在转brn基因植株中观察到全不育(占全部brn阳性植株的40.6％)、高不育(占15.6％)及半不育的个体(占43.7％)。全不育的转基因植株自交完全不能结实(结实率为零),除个别植株外,花粉完全不被I-KI染色;而人工授以正常的花粉则可以获得杂交种子。而brn基因的阴性植株及未进行转化的对照植株则完全可育,表明转基因植株之雄性不育乃brn基因所致。结果表明,brn基因在水稻中是完全可以正常表达的,其表达的时期推测在花粉母细胞减数分裂前至花粉形成之间的整个时期。     

Adaptive microclimatic structural and expressional dehydrin 1 evolution in wild barley, Hordeum spontaneum, at 'Evolution Canyon', Mount Carmel, Israel

'Evolution Canyon' (ECI) at Lower Nahal Oren, Mount Carmel, Israel, is an optimal natural microscale model for unravelling evolution in action highlighting the twin evolutionary processes of adaptation and speciation. A major model organism in ECI is wild barley, Hordeum spontaneum , the progenitor of cultivated barley, which displays dramatic interslope adaptive and speciational divergence on the 'African' dry slope (AS) and the 'European' humid slope (ES), separated on average by 200 m. Here we examined interslope single nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) sequences and the expression diversity of the drought resistant dehydrin 1 gene ( Dhn1 ) between the opposite slopes. We analysed 47 plants (genotypes), 4–10 individuals in each of seven stations (populations) in an area of 7000 m², for Dhn1 sequence diversity located in the 5' upstream flanking region of the gene. We found significant levels of Dhn1 genic diversity represented by 29 haplotypes, derived from 45 SNPs in a total of 708 bp sites. Most of the haplotypes, 25 out of 29 (= 86.2%), were represented by one genotype; hence, unique to one population. Only a single haplotype was common to both slopes. Genetic divergence of sequence and haplotype diversity was generally and significantly different among the populations and slopes. Nucleotide diversity was higher on the AS, whereas haplotype diversity was higher on the ES. Interslope divergence was significantly higher than intraslope divergence. The applied Tajima D rejected neutrality of the SNP diversity. The Dhn1 expression under dehydration indicated interslope divergent expression between AS and ES genotypes, reinforcing Dhn1 associated with drought resistance of wild barley at 'Evolution Canyon'. These results are inexplicable by mutation, gene flow, or chance effects, and support adaptive natural microclimatic selection as the major evolutionary divergent driving force.

目的:探讨CCR9和CCL25蛋白在不同卵巢组织中的表达及其与上皮性卵巢癌患者临床病理因素之间的关系。方法:通过组织芯片结合免疫组织化学法检测78例上皮性卵巢癌组织和30例正常卵巢组织中CCR9和CCL25表达水平,结合上皮性卵巢癌病人的临床病理资料,进行统计分析。结果:CCR9和CCL25在上皮性卵巢癌中高表达,在正常卵巢组织中低表达,二者的表达与上皮性卵巢癌的组织类型、患者年龄无显著相关(P0.05),而与淋巴结转移、组织学分级和临床分期有显著相关(P0.05);上皮性卵巢癌组织中CCR9与CCL25表达相关(P0.05)。结论:CCR9和CCL25在上皮性卵巢癌的发生发展中可能起重要作用,二者可能是上皮性卵巢癌治疗的一个潜在的分子靶点。     

ST 段抬高心肌梗死靶血管长病变急诊介入治疗的安全性及疗效分析

目的:探讨ST段抬高急性心肌梗死(ST-elevation myocardial infarction,STEMI)患者靶血管长病变(病变>25 mm)急诊经皮冠状动脉介入(percutaneous coronary intervention,PCI)治疗的临床疗效及安全性。方法:回顾性收集2009年1月-2010年6月因STEMI就诊于沈阳军区总医院并急诊行PCI处理的患者442例,以靶病变长度分为两组,即≤25 mm为短病变组(n=235)和>25mm为长病变组(n=207),均急诊行PCI治疗,分析和比较两组患者术前的基线资料、术中资料及并发症的发生情况、辅助措施(临时起搏、IABP、血栓抽吸装置)应用情况,术后30天、2年电话或临床随访,记录主要不良心血管事件(major adverse cardiac events,MACE)的发生情况。结果:与短病变组比较,长病变组吸烟者更多(81.6%vs 62.6%,P=0.000);以三支病变偏多(34.8%vs 24.7%,P=0.037);多枚支架使用率更高(1.47±0.63 vs 1.04±0.28,P=0.000),平均支架总长度显著增加(29.80±7.02 mm vs 22.95±5.58mm,P=0.000),手术成功率、术中并发症及辅助措施应用情况比较差异无统计学意义(P>0.05),30天及2年随访MACE的发生率比较差异无统计学意义(P>0.05)。结论:与急诊PCI治疗的STEMI短病变患者对比,长病变患者虽然病变复杂,多枚支架使用率高,平均支架总长度增加,但术中并发症、30天、2年内MACE与短病变患者相当,提示在以药物洗脱支架为主的介入治疗时代,急诊PCI处理STEMI靶血管长病变具有良好的疗效及安全性。

Spatiotemporal Evolution of Calophaca (Fabaceae) Reveals Multiple Dispersals in Central Asian Mountains

Background

The Central Asian flora plays a significant role in Eurasia and the Northern Hemisphere. Calophaca, a member of this flora, includes eight currently recognized species, and is centered in Central Asia, with some taxa extending into adjacent areas. A phylogenetic analysis of the genus utilizing nuclear ribosomal ITS and plastid trnS-trnG and rbcL sequences was carried out in order to confirm its taxonomic status and reconstruct its evolutionary history.

Methodology/Principal Finding

We employed BEAST Bayesian inference for dating, and S-DIVA and BBM for ancestral area reconstruction, to study its spatiotemporal evolution. Our results show that Calophacais monophyletic and nested within Caragana. The divergence time of Calophaca is estimated at ca. 8.0 Ma, most likely driven by global cooling and aridification, influenced by rapid uplift of the Qinghai Tibet Plateau margins.

Conclusions/Significance

According to ancestral area reconstructions, the genus most likely originated in the Pamir Mountains, a global biodiversity hotspot and hypothesized Tertiary refugium of many Central Asian plant lineages. Dispersals from this location are inferred to the western Tianshan Mountains, then northward to the Tarbagatai Range, eastward to East Asia, and westward to the Caucasus, Russia, and Europe. The spatiotemporal evolution of Calophaca provides a case contributing to an understanding of the flora and biodiversity of the Central Asian mountains and adjacent regions.     

云南傣族、汉族HLA-G基因14bp插入/缺失多态性研究

14bp插入/缺失多态性是指存在于HLA-G基因第8外显子3′非翻译区(3′UTR)的一个插入/缺失多态,因其能影响HLA-GmRNA的稳定性,并进一步影响HLA-G蛋白的翻译而受到广泛关注。文章采用PCR和电泳技术对云南傣族和汉族两个人群进行了HLA-G基因14bp插入/缺失多态性的检测分析,结果显示傣族和汉族人群+14bp等位基因频率分别为31.97%和40.87%,+14bp/+14bp基因型频率分别为8.20%和17.31%,+14bp/-14bp基因型频率分别为47.54%和47.11%。与国内外已报道的其他人群的数据比较表明:云南汉族群体中HLA-G基因14bp插入/缺失的分布与其他群体相似;傣族则有自己独特的基因型和等位基因分布特点,推测其可能受到了遗传漂变的作用,但不排除自然选择作用的影响。
