人IL-17F对裸鼠人肝癌移植瘤生长的影响

利用RT-PCR方法从PHA活化的人外周血单个核细胞(PBMCs)中克隆hIL-17F基因,亚克隆至逆转录病毒载体pSIV-1,与辅助病毒载体pHIT456和pHIT60脂质体法共转染293T包装细胞,获得的成熟重组逆转录病毒(RV-hIL-17F)再感染SMMC-7721人肝癌细胞,并经G418筛选建立hIL-17F转基因肝癌细胞。PCR、RT-PCR和Westernblot结果表明hIL-17F基因在肝癌细胞中能成功整合、转录和表达。MTT和FCM结果表明hIL-17F不能改变SMMC-7721肝癌细胞的增殖活力和细胞周期,但ELISA结果表明其能明显下调肝癌细胞IL-6、IL-8和VEGF的表达。转基因肝癌细胞rhIL-17F表达上清具有抑制ECV304人脐静脉内皮细胞生长的作用。裸鼠皮下成瘤试验结果表明hIL-17F转基因肝癌细胞裸鼠致瘤能力明显减弱,VEGF和CD34表达降低,血管形成显著减少。hIL-17F可通过减少肿瘤血管形成显著抑制裸鼠人肝癌移植瘤的生长,为其进一步开展肿瘤血管靶向基因治疗和开发抗血管新药提供了一定的实验依据。

腺病毒介导hIL-24抑制裸鼠肝癌荷瘤生长及其机制研究

为了研究腺病毒hIL-24抑制SMMC-7721肝癌细胞裸鼠荷瘤的生长抑制及其作用机制,构建了重组腺病毒载体pAdeasy-1-pTrack-CMV-hIL-24(Ad-hIL-24),经PacI线性化后转染QBI-293A细胞,多轮感染后收获高效价腺病毒重组病毒子。用SMMC-7721肝癌细胞使16只裸鼠致瘤,然后随机NS分成干预组、5-Fu组、Ad组和Ad-hIL-24组,进行抗肿瘤试验。四组均使用瘤体内注射干预用药,100μL/只NS组、Ad组(107pfu)和Ad-hIL-24组(107pfu)隔日一次,共注射5次;5-Fu组20μg/kg,连续注射5d。用药前、用药后1周和2周分别测皮下瘤体的长径(L)、短径(W),计算出瘤体体积,治疗开始后第15天,将裸鼠脱颈处死,摘取瘤体称重,计算出抑瘤率。显微镜观察细胞生长形态、免疫组化法测caspase3蛋白表达、P53及P27核内抑癌基因表达、CD34染色标记测定的MVD及VEGF蛋白表达。与NS组比较,Ad-hIL-24组与5-Fu组的抑瘤率分别为68.52%(P<0.01)和65.64%(P<0.01);镜下Ad-hIL-24组肿瘤组织的caspase3蛋白表达细胞数较其它3组呈显著性升高(P<0.01),P27核内抑癌基因表达细胞数也较NS组明显增高(P<0.01),CD34染色标记测定的CD34及VEGF较NS组和Ad组明显减少(P<0.001),P53未见明显变化。结论Ad-hIL-24可以显著抑制裸鼠SMMC-7721荷瘤的生长,其机制可能通过激活caspase途径、上调P27抑癌基因表达、抑制血管形成等多途径发挥抑瘤作用。     

Structures and magnetic properties of mono-doped fullerenes C59Xn and C59X(6mn)m (X=Bm,N+, P+, As+, Si): isoelectronic analogues of C60 and C60(6m)

Structures of mono-doped fullerenes, C59Xn and C59X(6mn)m (X=Bm, N+, P+, As+, Si), the isoelectronic analogues to C60 and C606m with 60 and 66 pi-electrons, have been investigated at the B3LYP/6-31G* level of density functional theory. On the basis of the computed nucleus independent chemical shifts (NICS) at the cage center and also at the center of individual rings as magnetic criteria, heterofullerenes with 60 pi-electrons are as aromatic as the parent C60, while those with 66 pi-electrons are much less aromatic than C606m. The very distinct endohedral chemical shifts of the 66 pi-electron systems may be useful to identify the heterofullerenes through their endohedral 3He NMR chemical shifts.     

Effects of light and plant growth regulators on the biosynthesis of vindoline and other indole alkaloids in Catharanthus roseus callus cultures

A callus strain with stable ability for vindoline synthesis was selected from many prepared Catharanthus roseus leaf calli to study the regulation of vindoline biosynthesis as well as other indole alkaloids. It was shown that light and plant growth regulators significantly influenced the biosynthesis of vindoline and other alkaloids as well as acidic and basic peroxidase activities. Light promoted vindoline and serpentine biosynthesis, and stimulated plastid development and peroxidase activity. However, 2,4-D suppressed the biosynthesis of all indole alkaloids and peroxidase activity. Our results suggest that light or plant hormones regulate vindoline, serpentine and other alkaloid biosynthesis and accumulation by influencing peroxidase activity and the differentiation status of callus cultures, especially chloroplast development. Some possible relationships between serpentine or vindoline biosynthesis and peroxidase activity are proposed.     

幽门螺杆菌HspA融合蛋白口服疫苗的构建

构建表达幽门螺杆菌的保护性抗原分热休克蛋白A亚单位(HspA）和霍乱毒素B亚单位（CtxB）的重组融合蛋白的生物工程菌株,以此制备幽门螺杆菌的口服疫苗。用PCR方法扩增hspA和ctxB两个目的的基因片段,将它们分别克隆至pSK（＋）质粒上,然后插入含T7启动子ET－22b（＋）的表达载体中,构建嗓基因的表达质量pET－hct,转化E.coliBL21(DE3）,经IPTG诱导表达融合蛋白HCT。经测序,hspA-ctxB(hct)融合基因片段由726bp组成,可以编码242个氨基酸残基的多肽。经SDS－PAGE和免疫印迹分析检测发现,融合基因表达的蛋白质相对分子质量约为30kD。融合蛋白经镍离子柱纯化、复性后,和HspA共同标记同位素^125I,然后给小鼠灌胃,结果观察到HCT组小鼠血清中的^125I的放射量要明显高于HspA组（P＜0．001）,且吸收峰值时间明显提前。融合蛋白中的CtxB可明显促进小鼠对HspA的吸收,HCT融合蛋白可以作为预防和治疗幽门螺杆菌感染的侯选口服疫苗。     

Analysis of bacterial communities in rhizosphere soil of continuously cropped healthy and diseased konjac

The bacterial community and diversity in healthy and diseased konjac rhizosphere soils with different ages of continuous cropping were investigated using next-generation sequencing. The results demonstrated that the number of years of continuous cropping significantly altered soil bacterial community and diversity. Soil bacterial Shannon diversity index and Chao 1 index decreased with the increasing cropping years of konjac. After 1 year of cropping, the soil exhibited the highest bacterial relative abundance and diversity. Of the 44 bacterial genera (relative abundance ratio of genera greater than 0.3%), 14 were significantly affected by the duration of continuous cropping and plant status. With increasing continuous cropping, Alicyclobacillus decreased, while Achromobacter, Lactobacillus, Kaistobacter, Rhodoplanes increased after 3 years continuous cropping. Continuous cropping altered the structure and composition of the soil bacterial community, which led to the reduction in the beneficial bacteria and multiplication of harmful bacteria. These results will improve our understanding of soil microbial community regulation and soil health maintenance in konjac farm systems.
