利用FRET技术在活细胞内研究红景天甙对Aβ25-35诱导PCI2细胞凋亡的抑制作用

为研究红景天甙（salidroside）对β淀粉样肽25-35（β amyloid peptide25-35,Aβ25-35）诱导PC12细胞凋亡的抑制作用,采用Cell Counting Kit-8（CCK-8）分析细胞的存活率,通过光镜检测细胞形态并配以Hoechst染色检测细胞核固缩,利用荧光共振能量转移（fluorescence resonance energy transfer,FRET）技术在单个活细胞中检测caspase-3和caspase-8活性的动态变化。结果表明,红景天甙可剂量依赖性抑制Aβ25-35引起的细胞凋亡,提高细胞的存活率;红景天甙对caspase-3的活性有明显的抑制作用,而且Aβ25-35诱导细胞凋亡不依赖于caspase-8的激活。这些结果提示抑制caspase-3的活性是红景天甙抑制Aβ25-35诱导PC12细胞凋亡的机制之一。     

水稻株形对纹枯病抗性的影响

利用240份源于珍汕97B/明恢63的重组自交系水稻(Oryza sativa L.)群体,连续2年调查纹枯病病级与水稻生育期、株高和叶片长宽等18个株形性状的关系.对株形性状与纹枯病病级进行了偏相关分析.实验结果,只有植株松紧度与病级表型偏相关两年中都达到了显著或极显著水平,倒2叶基角、穗层整齐度等8个性状与病级之间的偏相关只有一年达显著或极显著水平.结合构建的分子标记遗传连锁图谱,对各性状进行QTL定位.在抗纹枯病QTL相近区间仅检测到控制分蘖角、植株松紧度和倒2叶基角的QTLS,未发现其余株形性状QTLs与抗纹枯病QTLs分布在同一染色体上.结果表明,水稻对纹枯病的抗性主要是由本身抗性基因控制,株形对纹枯病抗性表达的影响主要是间接影响,即通过改变田间小气候而影响发病程度.抗纹枯病育种在累加主效抗纹枯病QTLs的同时,也要注重选择不利于纹枯病发展的株形性状.     

The optimum dietary methionine requirement of juvenile humpback grouper (Cromileptes altivelis): effects on growth,micromorphology, protein and lipid metabolism

An 8-week feeding trial was conducted to evaluate optimum dietary methionine (Met) requirement of juvenile humpback grouper (Cromileptes altivelis) and the influence of dietary methionine (Met) supplementations on growth, gut micromorphology, protein and lipid metabolism. Seven isoproteic (48.91%) and isolipidic diets (10%) were made to contain 0.70, 0.88, 1.04, 1.27 1.46, 1.61 and 1.76% of dry matter Met levels. Results showed that lower survival, weight gain (WG%), protein efficiency ratio (PER), protein productive value (PPV) but higher daily feed intake (DFI) and feed conversion ratio (FCR) were observed in the Met deficient groups (0.70 and 0.88%). Optimum dietary Met requirement for humpback grouper was found to be 1.07% through the straight-broken line analysis of WG% against Met. Fish fed Met deficient diets (0.70, 0.88%) exhibited lower mRNA levels of growth hormone (GH), growth hormone receptor (GHR), insulin-like growth factor-I (IGF-1), target of rapamycin (TOR) as well as S6 kinase 1 (S6K1) than other dietary groups. Whereas, expression of genes related to general control nonderepressible (GCN2) kinase i.e., GCN2 and C/EBPβ enhancer-binding protein β was upregulated in fish fed low Met diets (P < 0.05). The mRNA expression of hepatic fatty acid synthase (FAS) and sterol regulatory element-binding protein-1 (SREBP-1) were higher in fish fed 0.70 and 0.88% dietary Met group and the lipolytic genes, hepatic peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor α (PPARα) and carnitine palmitoyl transferase-1 (CPT-1) showed an opposite variation tendency as FAS or SREBP1. Generally, the optimum Met requirement for humpback grouper was predicted to be 1.07% of dry matter.

     

广东阳春现代樟树树轮宽度变化及其对气候因子的响应

树木年轮方法定年准确、连续性强、分辨率高和易于获取复本等 ,成为全球气候变化研究的重要手段之一。在热带、亚热带地区 ,受树木生理特性的影响 ,树轮研究工作开展较少。通过广东阳春过渡热带现代樟树树木年轮宽度的变化 ,发现秋季降水是影响研究区樟树生长的重要因子。树轮记录的准 4～ 4 .92 a周期的树轮指数变化可能与厄尔尼诺的周期有关 ,即厄尔尼诺引起气候变化对树木生长产生影响。尽管樟树生长快 ,树轮不清晰 ,交叉定年困难 ,但由于研究区存在明显的旱季 ,樟树树轮仍然能够在一定程度上反映气候条件的影响。     

RGD肽与尿激酶B链融合蛋白原核重组表达质粒的构建、表达和功能的初步分析

将化学合成的RGD肽(Arg-Gly-Asp)编码寡核苷酸与尿激酶B链cDNA相连成为融合基因后,克隆至原核表达质粒pBV220中,在P-RP-L启动子的作用下,经42℃热诱导,在大肠杆菌DH5α中获得了融合基因的表达,其表达量占菌体总蛋白的9.2%,表达产物以无活性的包含体形式存在。经变复性处理得到纯化的融合基因的表达产物,经Western blotting分析表明产物具有与天然尿激酶相似的抗原性,体外活性分析显示其具有一定的纤溶和抗血小板聚集的活性。     

Cell Growth and Flavonoids Production in Suspension Culture of Saussurea medusa

Cell suspension cultures were established from Saussurea medusa Maxim. callus cultures. The effects of different rotation speeds of the gyratory shaker, different inoeulum sizes and different pH values of the medium on cell growth and flavonoid formation were studied. The result showed that the optimum rotation speed, inoeulum size and initial pH value of the medium were 90–120 r/min,50– 80 g FW/L and 5.5–6.0 respectively for cell growth and flavonoids formation in the suspension cultures. Sucrose was better than glucose and fructose for the suspension cultures. The optimum concentration of sucrose for cell growth and flavonoid production was 40 g/L, and the concentration of flavonoids could be as high as 1 423.25 mg/L. High performance liquid chromatographic analysis of cell suspension culture extracts showed that the concentrations of jaceosidin and hispidulin in the flavonoids were 22.11% and 0. 15% respectively.

鼓槌石斛的地理分布与菌根真菌区系组成的相关性

本文研究了兰科石斛属鼓槌石斛的地理分布与菌根真菌区系组成的相关性。采用克隆文库技术对云南省西双版纳和临沧市两个地区的8份野生鼓槌石斛根部样品进行了分析。结果表明,共从两个地区的鼓槌石斛根部获得了14个真菌的可操作分类单元（OTU）,主要隶属于胶膜菌科Tulasnellaceae和小纺锤菌目Atractiellales。分析鼓槌石斛对菌根真菌的专一性和偏好性发现,鼓槌石斛对菌根真菌专一性较低,每个植株都能同时与多种菌根真菌共生;不同地理分布的鼓槌石斛菌根真菌类群存在明显差异,两个地区的鼓槌石斛的菌根真菌中只有1个OTU是相同的,其余均不同。说明菌根真菌可能和鼓槌石斛的生态适应存在一定的相关性。
