Smad2条件基因剔除载体的构建及LoxP位点有效性鉴定

Smads家族是最新发现的TGF－β信号转导途径中一个重要的新基因家族,SMAD2属于受体激活的SMADs。Smad2在某些肿瘤中发生突变,是一种可能的肿瘤抑制基因。Smad2基因完全剔除小鼠在胚胎期E6．5天死亡,为了研究Smad2在成体各组织器官及肿瘤发生中的可能作用,构建了Smad2条件基因剔除载体,将LoxP置于Smad2基因组序列C末端功能域两侧,并在组成型表达Cre重组酶的大肠杆菌中检测了LoxP位点的功能,该载体的构建为进行Smad2组织特异性基因剔除研究了奠定了基础。     

棉花高频体细胞胚胎发生及再生体系建立

棉花的体细胞胚胎发生率低,限制了转基因棉花的发展。为了扩大可再生棉花的基因型,发展新疆优质棉花的特点,以新疆的主要栽培品种新陆早33为材料,以下胚轴为外植体,使用葡萄糖,麦芽糖作为主要碳源,用Phytagel固化,对不同激素的浓度组合和培养条件进行探索,对棉花胚性愈伤的诱导到体细胞胚胎的发生阶段进行优化,体细胞胚胎成熟以后进行萌发培养可以获得正常的植株。通过试验证明,有利于棉花的愈伤组织生长的激素浓度为KT 0.1 mg/L,2,4-D 0.1 mg/L,下胚轴的中部诱导愈伤形态最好。体细胞胚胎发生阶段以KT,IBA组合,以低盐培养基进行子叶胚的成苗,建立了再生体系。     

Preventive oral supplementation with glutamine and arginine has beneficial effects on the intestinal mucosa and inflammatory cytokines in endotoxemic rats

The objective of this study was to evaluate the effect of oral supplementation with a combination of arginine and glutamine on the intestinal mucosa and inflammatory cytokines of lipopolysaccharide (LPS)-induced adult rats. Fifty Sprague-Dawley rats (average weight of 185 ± 15 g) were randomly divided into five groups: control group A (CA) and control group B (CB), both orally supplemented with 0.9% saline; group Arg, supplemented with 300 mg/kg day(-1) arginine; group Gln, supplemented with 300 mg/kg day(-1) glutamine; group AG, supplemented with 150 mg/kg day(-1) arginine and 150 mg/kg day(-1) glutamine. The experiment lasted for 2 weeks. Food intake and body weight were measured during the experiment. At 10.00 h of day 15, animals were injected with 4 mg/kg LPS (group CB, Arg, Gln, and AG) or sterile saline (group CA) after supplementation. Then at 14.00 h, all animals were killed and blood and tissue collected. The results showed that compared with group CB, arginine concentration tended to be increased (P > 0.05) in group Arg and AG, while there was no significant difference in glutamine concentration among the groups challenged with LPS. Oral supplementation with arginine or/and glutamine mitigated morphology impairment (lower villus height, P < 0.05) in the jejunum and ileum induced by LPS challenge. LPS administration resulted in a significant increase in TNF-α, IL-1β, IL-6 and IL-10 mRNA abundance. Arginine only significantly decreased TNF-α mRNA abundance in the ileum, while glutamine significantly decreased both TNF-α and IL-10 mRNA in the ileum. A combination of arginine and glutamine significantly decreased TNF-α and IL-1β mRNA abundance in both the jejunum and ileum, while they also significantly decreased anti-inflammatory IL-10 in the ileum. These results revealed that an oral supply of combined arginine and glutamine had more favorable effects on the intestinal mucosa and inflammatory cytokines than a supply of arginine or glutamine alone.

Production of mycelial biomass and exo-polymer by <Emphasis Type="Italic">Hericium erinaceus</Emphasis> CZ-2: Optimization of nutrients levels using response surface methodology

The Doehlert experimental design was used to optimize the production of mycelial biomass and exopolymer from Hericium erinaceus CZ-2 in this study. Statistical analysis showed that the linear and quadric terms of 3 variables: corn flour, yeast extract, and corn steep liquor had significant effects. The optimized combination of these 3 variables was confirmed through validation experiments. The optimal conditions for higher production of mycelial biomass (19.92 g/L) were estimated when the media composition concentrations were set as: 30.85 g/L, corn flour; 2.81 g/L, yeast extract; 16.9 mL/L, corn steep liquor; 10 g/L, glucose; 1 g/L, KH₂PO₄; and 0.5 g/L, MgSO₄·7H₂O; while a maximal exo-polymer yield (1.653 g/L) could be achieved when setting concentrations of: 32.71 g/L, corn flour; 2.35 g/L, Yeast extract; 14.42 mL/L, Corn steep liquor; 10 g/L, glucose; 1 g/L, KH₂PO₄; and 0.5 g/L, MgSO₄·7H₂O. The upscale production was also investigated using a 15 L fermentor using the optimized medium.     

A strategy for fusion expression and preparation of functional glucagon-like peptide-1 (GLP-1) analogue by introducing an enterokinase cleavage site

KGLP-1, a 31-amino acid glucagon-like peptide-1 (GLP-1) analogue, has a great therapeutic potential for anti-diabetes. In this work, a strategy for expression and purification of functional KGLP-1 peptide has been established. KGLP-1 cDNA was fused with glutathione S-transferase (GST), with an enterokinase cleavage site in the fusion junction. The recombinant fusion protein GST–KGLP-1 was affinity purified via the GST-tag, and then digested with enterokinase. The resulting GST part as well as the enzymes were eliminated by ultra-filtration followed by size exclusion chromatograph. The yield of purified KGLP-1 was approximately 12.1 mg/L, with purity of 96.18 %. The recombinant KGLP-1 was shown to have similar bioactivity as native GLP-1 when evaluated in a Chinese hamster ovary cell line expressing a GLP-1 receptor-egfp reporter gene.

水孔蛋白在细胞延长、盐胁迫和光合作用中的作用

水孔蛋白属于一个高度保守的、能够进行跨生物膜水分运输的通道蛋白MIP家族。水孔蛋白作为膜水通道,在控制细胞和组织的水含量中扮演重要角色。本研究的重点是属于PIP亚家族的GhPIP1;2和属于TIP亚家族的γTIP1在植物细胞延长中的作用。使用特异基因探针的Northern杂交和实时荧光PCR技术证明GhPIP1;2和GhγTIP1主要在棉花纤维延长过程中显著表达,且最高表达量在开花后5d。在细胞延长过程中,GhPIP1;2和GhγTIP1表达显著,表明它们在促使水流迅速进入液泡这一过程中扮演重要角色。而且也研究了盐胁迫植物中钙离子对水孔蛋白的影响。分别或一起用NaCl或CaCl2处理原生质体或细胞质膜。结果发现在盐胁迫条件下,水渗透率值在原生质体和质膜颗粒中都下降了,同时PIP1水孔蛋白的含量也下降了,表明NaCl对水孔蛋白的功能和含量有抑制作用。同时也观察了Ca2+的两种不同的作用。感知胁迫的胞质中游离钙离子浓度的增加可能导致水孔蛋白的关闭。而过剩的钙离子将导致水孔蛋白的上游调控。同时实验已经证明大麦的一类水孔蛋白-HvPIP2;1有更高的水和CO2转移率。本研究的目标是确定负责转运水和CO2的关键水孔蛋白...
