鞘内联合给予米诺环素和IL-6的中和抗体对脊神经结扎模型所引起的热痛敏的镇痛作用

目的:研究鞘内联合给予米诺环素和IL-6的中和抗体在大鼠脊神经结扎(spinal nerve ligation,SNL)模型所引起的神经病理性痛中的镇痛作用.方法:建立大鼠SNL模型,分别在手术前和手术后鞘内给予米诺环素100 μg、在手术后鞘内给予IL-6的中和抗体0.03 μg、手术后鞘内联合给予两种药物,观察给药3天各组大鼠热刺激的缩足反应潜伏期(paw withdrawal latencies,PWL).结果:①SNL手术前后给予米诺环素都可以提高大鼠的PWL(P＜0.05),但SNL手术前给药对大鼠PWL的提升明显高于手术后给药(P＜0.05).②手术后给予IL-6的中和抗体可以有效提升SNL组的PWL(P＜0.05),但是还是比给予生理盐水的假手术组大鼠的PWL明显减少(P＜0.05).③手术后联合给予两种药物可以明显逆转SNL组的PWL(P＜0.05).④联合给药对大鼠PWL的提高明显高于SNL手术后给予米诺环素组和给予IL-6的中和抗体组(P＜0.05),但与手术前给予米诺环素组的PWL相比无明显差异(P＞0.05).结论:鞘内联合给予米诺环素和IL-6的中和抗体对SNL引起的神经病理性痛有明显的镇痛作用.

Structural insights into Rhino‐Deadlock complex for germline piRNA cluster specification

PIWI‐interacting RNAs (piRNAs) silence transposons in germ cells to maintain genome stability and animal fertility. Rhino, a rapidly evolving heterochromatin protein 1 (HP1) family protein, binds Deadlock in a species‐specific manner and so defines the piRNA‐producing loci in the Drosophila genome. Here, we determine the crystal structures of Rhino‐Deadlock complex in Drosophila melanogaster and simulans. In both species, one Rhino binds the N‐terminal helix–hairpin–helix motif of one Deadlock protein through a novel interface formed by the beta‐sheet in the Rhino chromoshadow domain. Disrupting the interface leads to infertility and transposon hyperactivation in flies. Our structural and functional experiments indicate that electrostatic repulsion at the interaction interface causes cross‐species incompatibility between the sibling species. By determining the molecular architecture of this piRNA‐producing machinery, we discover a novel HP1‐partner interacting mode that is crucial to piRNA biogenesis and transposon silencing. We thus explain the cross‐species incompatibility of two sibling species at the molecular level.     

温度对红点唇瓢虫实验种群的影响

在７种温度下测定了红点唇瓢虫（Ｃｈｉｌｏｃｏｒｕｓ ｋｕｗａｎａｅ Ｓｉｌｖｅｓｔｒｉ）发育速率,并求得各虫态的发育起点温度和有效积温。其发育速率与温度的关系能很好地用王如松等（１９８２）提出的模型进行拟合。由此模型估计出最低、最高临界温度和最适发育温度,分别为１０．４２－１３．０１－℃、℃３３．５３－３７．０３℃和２４．９９－３０．１２℃。卵期忍耐温度变化的能力最强。４龄幼虫最弱。温度明显地影响

FERONIA is involved in phototropin 1-mediated blue light phototropic growth in Arabidopsis

Plant shoot phototropism is triggered by the formation of a light-driven auxin gradient leading to bending growth. The blue light receptor phototropin 1(phot1) senses light direction, but how this leads to auxin gradient formation and growth regulation remains poorly understood. Previous studies have suggested phot1’s role for regulated apoplastic acidification, but its relation to phototropin and hypocotyl phototropism is unclear. Herein, we show that blue light can cause phot1 to interact with...
