Expression pattern of Wnt inhibitor factor 1(Wif1) during the development in mouse CNS

Wnt inhibitor factor-1 (WIF-1) is an extracellular antagonist of Wnts secreted proteins. Here we describe the expression pattern of Wif1 throughout the development of the mouse central nervous system (CNS). Wif1 mRNA can be detected as early as the developmental stage E11, and expression persists to adulthood. In embryonic stages, the level of Wif1 expression was very prominent in several areas including the cerebral cortex, the diencephalon and the midbrain, with the strongest level in the hippocampal plate and the diencephalon. However, after birth, the expression level of Wif1 decreased in the cortex and diencephalon. By adulthood, Wif1 is mainly expressed in the medial habenular nucleus (MHb) in the epithalamus, the mitral layer cells in the olfactory bulb and a few nuclei in the hypothalamus. Our data shows that the expression of Wif1 was very strong during embryonic development of the CNS and suggests that Wif1 may play an essential role in the spatial and temporal regulation of Wnt signals.

Seasonal Variation of δ13C of Four Tree Species: A Biological Integrator of Environmental Variables

Foliar δ13C values, an indicator of long-term intercellular carbon dioxide concentration and, thus,of long-term water use efficiency (WUE) in plants, were measured for Pinus massoniana Lamb., P. elliottii Engelm., Cunninghamia laceolata (Lamb.) Hook., and Schima superba Gardn. et Champ. in a restored forest ecosystem in the Jiazhu River Basin. Seasonal variation and the relationship between the foliar δ13Cvalues of the four species and environmental factors (monthly total precipitation, monthly average air temperature, relative humidity, atmospheric pressure, and monthly total solar radiation and evaporation)were investigated. The monthly δ13C values and WUE of the four species increased with increasing precipitation, air temperature, solar radiation, and evaporation, whereas δ13C values of the four species decreased with increasing relative humidity and atmospheric pressure. Despite significant differences in δ13C seasonal means for the four species, our results demonstrate a significant convergence in the responses of δ13C values and WUE to seasonal variations in environmental factors among the species investigated and that the δ13C signature for each species gives a strong indication of environmental variables.     

基于定量PCR技术探讨紫杉醇生物合成的限速步骤

次生代谢产物牛物合成受到发育和诱导的调控,本实验研究了组织分化和诱导处理对紫杉醇生物合成的影响,并采用定量PCR技术分析了紫杉醇生物合成不同阶段关键酶基因的动态表达特征。结果表明。紫杉醇主要分布在中国红豆杉（Taxus chinensis）树皮和根皮组织中,针叶内含量很少,催化紫杉醇功能官能团连接的关键酶摹因也主要定位在树皮和根皮组织巾;茉莉酸甲酯（MJ）和真菌诱导子F5分别提高了中国红豆杉悬浮培养细胞HG-1紫杉醇得率8倍和10倍,同时有效诱导紫杉醇生物合成基因的表达。发现催化紫杉醇侧链连接的基因与紫杉醇生物合成早正相关。结果表明。紫杉醇生物合成的限速步骤是催化功能官能团连接的步骤。
