低盐度围隔调控环境浮游纤毛虫群落结构与动态

为了解施肥与水质调控对养殖水体中原生动物的影响,2008年6-10月,对低盐度围隔调控环境中浮游纤毛虫种群结构及动态变化进行了研究.通过活体观察和标本固定染色法共检测到浮游纤毛虫48种,分属于3纲11目37属,其中寡毛目纤毛虫种类8种;缘毛目7种,腹毛目和盾纤目均为6种;优势种多为富营养化水体中或耐污性种类,如圆筒状拟铃壳虫(Tintinnopsis cylindrata)、球形急游虫(Stranbidium globosaneum)、海洋帆口虫(Pleuronema marinum)、蚤状中缢虫(Mesodinium pulex)、毛板壳虫(Coleps hirtus)、瓜形膜袋虫(Cyclidium citrullus)等.围隔不同施肥处理,对纤毛虫的群落组成与动态变化影响显著,试验期间,围隔中纤毛虫种类平均值最高为9种,最低为4种;密度平均值最高为112.30cells·ml-1,最低为19.50 cells·ml-1;10个围隔中纤毛虫种类平均分别为6～7种,密度平均为52.56 cells·ml-1;施有机肥培藻的围隔,优势种始终是嗜污性较强的纤毛虫.纤毛虫动态与浮游藻类动态变化密切相关,二者的密度变化特点为前期和后期低,中期较高;但多样性的变化规律相反,纤毛虫的多样性表现为前期和后期低,中期较高,藻类的多样性表现为前期和后期高,中期较低.     

Decoy engineering of the receptor-like cytoplasmic kinase StPBS1 to defend against virus infection in potato

Potato virus Y (PVY) is an important pathogen of potato (Solanum tuberosum). Although the PBS1–RPS5 immune system is well documented in Arabidopsis thaliana, it has not been reported in potato. In Arabidopsis, the bacterial effector AvrPphB cleaves AtPBS1 to trigger an immune response. Here, we show that the AvrPphB-triggered immune response is mediated by StPBS1, a close homologue of AtPBS1 in potato. However, downstream signalling of StPBS1 was mediated by unknown resistance (R) proteins other than potato orthologues of AtRPS5 and HvPBR1, which is important for HvPBS1 signalling in barley. Immune signalling of StPBS1 is mediated by the AvrPphB C-terminal cleavage domain and an STKPQ motif, in contrast to AtPBS1-mediated immunity in which both AvrPphB cleavage fragments and an SEMPH motif are essential. The cleavage sequence of AvrPphB in StPBS1 was replaced with that of the PVY NIa-Pro protease to obtain StPBS1^NIa. StPBS1^NIa overexpression potato displayed stronger immunity to PVY infection than did the StPBS1 transgenic lines. StPBS1^NIa was cleaved at the expected target site by NIa-Pro protease from PVY. Thus, we characterized the function of StPBS1 in potato immunity and provide a biotechnology control method for PVY via transformation of decoy-engineered StPBS1^NIa.

产甘油假丝酵母与酿酒酵母胞浆3-磷酸甘油脱氢酶基因的功能比较

胞浆3-磷酸甘油脱氢酶(GPD)是酿酒酵母细胞甘油合成过程中的关键限速酶．尽管高产甘油菌株产甘油假丝酵母基因组中编码该酶的基因CgGPD已经被克隆出来,但是具体的功能,特别是与酿酒酵母GPD1和GPD2基因的功能比较值得进一步研究．以酿酒酵母渗透压敏感型的gpd1/gpd2和gpd1突变株为宿主,分别导入CgGPD、GPD1和GPD2基因,比较分析了CgGPD、GPD1和GPD2基因在高渗透压胁迫条件下和厌氧环境中的表达调控,及其对细胞甘油合成能力的影响．研究发现,GPD1基因受到渗透压诱导表达,GPD2基因在细胞厌氧条件下起着氧化还原平衡调节作用,而CgGPD基因不仅能够在渗透压胁迫条件下通过过量快速合成甘油调节渗透压平衡,而且能够在厌氧培养环境中互补GPD2基因的缺失,使gpd1/gpd2缺失突变株能够正常生长,同时提高了突变株的甘油合成能力．结果表明,CgGPD基因在gpd1/gpd2缺失突变株中既具有GPD1基因的功能,又能发挥GPD2基因的功能．

SC-CO2和乙酸乙酯萃取芸香中活性成分的比较分析

为了探讨超临界二氧化碳(supercritical carbon dioxide, SC-CO2)技术与提取物的分级分离在萃取芸香活性成分的应用价值,本研究采用SC-CO2和乙酸乙酯萃取芸香中植物蜡和活性成分,并调查粒径和CO2流量对提取产量的影响。在250 bar、40℃条件下提取,并使第一个分离器冷却到-10℃,可获得较好的提取效率。当粒径较小时,提取过程更快,即内部传质控制该过程。分级分离可选择性去除表皮植物蜡,约占由SC-CO2处理产生的总提取物的77.5%W/W。第二分离器中的获得的提取物中活性化合物可达86.3%W/W。随后采用气相色谱-质谱联用仪(gas chromatography-mass spectrometry, GC-MS)分析表明,乙酸乙酯提取物低于SC-CO2提取物的萃取效率,主要是由于提取物中含有大量的植物蜡。本研究为超临界二氧化碳技术在萃取芸香活性成分方面的提供技术参考。

为筛选紫玉兰‘红元宝’(Magnolia liliflora‘Hongyuanbao’)二次花芽分化阶段稳定表达的内参基因,该研究以‘红元宝’不同花芽分化时期的花芽和叶为材料,基于转录组数据,筛选出8个候选内参基因,即泛素酶基因(UBC)、肌动蛋白(ACT)、微管蛋白β链(β-TUB)、微管蛋白β-5链(β-TUB5)、微管蛋白α-3链(α-TUB3)、磷酸烯醇丙酮酸羧化酶(PEPC)、酰基载体蛋白2(ACP2)、酰基载体蛋白3(ACP3)。运用Primer Premier 5设计引物,简单克隆和熔解曲线验证引物特异性;利用qRT-PCR技术检测各个候选内参基因的表达情况,结合GeNorm、NormFinder、BestKeeper软件和RefFinder在线工具综合评估其表达稳定性,并通过目的基因TFL1的表达分析验证其可靠性。结果表明:(1)8个候选内参基因条带位置正确,熔解曲线呈单一峰,说明引物特异性良好。(2)β-TUB、β-TUB5和α-TUB3是‘红元宝’不同花芽分化时期较为稳定的内参基因,而UBC和ACT为稳定性最低的内参基因。(3)β-TUB5、α-TUB3、β-TUB及其组合的相对表达量趋于一致,而ACT和UBC并未对目的基因的表达量进行有效的标准化。因此,β-TUB、β-TUB5和α-TUB3可作为‘红元宝’二次花芽分化研究中稳定表达的内参基因。该研究结果将为木兰属植物二次成花分子调控机制研究提供依据。

Metformin and tenovin‐6 synergistically induces apoptosis through LKB1‐independent SIRT1 down‐regulation in non‐small cell lung cancer cells

Sirtuin 1 (SIRT1) is known to play a role in a variety of tumorigenesis processes by deacetylating histone and non‐histone proteins; however, antitumour effects by suppressing SIRT1 activity in non‐small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) remain unclear. This study was designed to scrutinize clinicopathological significance of SIRT1 in NSCLC and investigate effects of metformin on SIRT1 inhibition. This study also evaluated new possibilities of drug combination using a SIRT1 inhibitor, tenovin‐6, in NSCLC cell lines. It was found that SIRT1 was overexpressed in 300 (62%) of 485 formalin‐fixed paraffin‐embedded NSCLC tissues. Its overexpression was significantly associated with reduced overall survival and poor recurrence‐free survival after adjusted for histology and pathologic stage. Thus, suppression of SIRT1 expression may be a reasonable therapeutic strategy for NSCLC. Metformin in combination with tenovin‐6 was found to be more effective in inhibiting cell growth than either agent alone in NSCLC cell lines with different liver kinase B1 (LKB1) status. In addition, metformin and tenovin‐6 synergistically suppressed SIRT1 expression in NSCLC cells regardless of LKB1 status. The marked reduction in SIRT1 expression by combination of metformin and tenovin‐6 increased acetylation of p53 at lysine 382 and enhanced p53 stability in LKB1‐deficient A549 cells. The combination suppressed SIRT1 promoter activity more effectively than either agent alone by up‐regulating hypermethylation in cancer 1 (HIC1) binding at SIRT1 promoter. Also, suppressed SIRT1 expression by the combination synergistically induced caspase‐3‐dependent apoptosis. The study concluded that metformin with tenovin‐6 may enhance antitumour effects through LKB1‐independent SIRT1 down‐regulation in NSCLC cells.
