山东百部种群的空间分布格局

采用扩散系数的t检验、Poisson分布的x^2拟合检验及Morisita指数的F检验研究了山东百部（Stemona shandongensis）种群的空间分布类型;用负二项参数（K）、Cassie指标（1／K）、Green指数（GI）和Lloyd的平均拥挤度（m^＊）与聚块性指标（PAI）研究其聚集强度。同时利用上述指数研究了取样面积、苗龄对山东百部种群分布格局和聚集强度的影响,分析了分布格局形成的原因。结果表明,总体上山东百部种群的分布格局类型为集群分布,种群聚集尺度多为8m^2;当年生植株种群聚集强度高于多年生种群;整个种群分布格局的演化趋向于高聚集强度的集群分布。     

白桦开花抑制因子BpFLC与BpSVP蛋白互作的结构域筛选与互作验证

为深入研究白桦开花抑制因子FLC与SVP的相互作用的分子机理。从重组质粒pGBKT7-BpFLC、pGBKT7-BpSVP分别克隆出6个BpFLC截短体（BpFLC1~6）和6个BpSVP截短体（BpSVP1~6）,分别编码MI、MIK、K、IKC、KC和C域。在酵母Y2HGold菌中,分别共转诱饵质粒pGBKT7-BpFLC1~6×pGADT7-BpSVP及pGBKT7-BpFLC×pGADT7-BpSVP1~6。酵母转化子Y2HGold［pGBKT7-BpFLC2~5×pGADT7-BpSVP］,可在选择性固体培养基TDO、QTO/A上生长,并在QDO/A/X上长出蓝色菌落,表明BpSVP能与截短体蛋白BpFLC2~5异源结合。此外酵母Y2HGold［pGBKT7-BpFLC×pGADT7-BpSVP2~5］也能同时激活报告基因AUR1-C、HIS3、ADE2、MEL1。进一步研究发现：Y2HGold［pGBKT7-BpFLC3×pGADT7-BpSVP3］存在相互作用,表明BpFLC的K域与BpSVP的K域能够异源结合,是介导BpFLC与BpVP蛋白互作的关键结构域。     

等渗NaCl、干旱胁迫对番茄幼苗光合特性及叶绿体超微结构的影响

为分析等渗盐分和水分胁迫对番茄叶片光合功能的影响,选用耐盐性不同的4种基因型番茄(小果型的辽园红玛瑙、野生醋栗番茄、大果型的金田粉冠、超402)进行等渗的140 mmol·L^-1NaCl和15%PEG6000模拟盐分和水分胁迫.结果表明: 在光合特性方面,处理12 d后,两种胁迫导致4种不同基因型番茄的叶绿素含量(叶绿素a、叶绿素b、叶绿素总量)、光合速率、气孔导度、胞间CO₂浓度、蒸腾效率降低,气孔限制值升高.两种胁迫导致的光合下降由气孔性因素所致.等渗的盐分胁迫对番茄的光合系统损伤大于水分胁迫,这是因为盐分胁迫除了渗透胁迫还会导致离子伤害.4种不同基因型番茄中,耐盐型的辽园红玛瑙具有高光合特性,金田粉冠光合效率最差.在叶绿体超微结构方面,两种胁迫会造成番茄叶片的气孔密度增加,气孔张开率降低,叶绿体长度增加,宽度变小,长宽比增大,叶绿体内基粒数减少,嗜锇颗粒数增多.盐分胁迫下两种番茄叶绿体结构的影响大于水分胁迫,耐盐种醋栗番茄气孔变化小于盐敏感品种金田粉冠.

Diversity and ecological distribution of endophytic fungi associated with medicinal plants

A total of 973 isolates of endophytic fungi were recovered from 1144 tissue fragments of the six me-dicinal plant species belonging to 4 families collected in the Beijing Botanical Garden. Of these isolates 778 sporulated and were identified into 21 taxa by morphological characteristics. Among the taxa 11 belonged to Coelomycetes, 6 to Ascomycetes, and 4 to Hyphomycetes. Various numbers of endophytic fungi (5―8 taxa) were obtained from each plant. Alternaria alternata was the dominant species in the 6 plants, and Microsphaeropsis conielloides was also dominant in Eucommia ulmoides. There were high colonization rates (47.9%―63.1%) and isolation rates (0.7―0.93) of endophytic fungi, and they were conspicuously higher in twigs than those in leaves in the 6 plants examined. The colonization and isolation rates of endophytic fungi increased with the twig age. The results based on the analyses of cluster and Sorenson's similarity coefficients indicated that some endophytic fungi showed a certain degree of host and tissue preference.     

C57BL/6小鼠听皮层A1区LTP特性

应用在体细胞外记录群体细胞兴奋性突触后场电位方法,研究C57BL6小鼠听皮层A1区突触长时程增强(LTP)特性。观察到,给予模拟的θ节律电刺激(TBS),刺激听皮层白质,可在听皮层灰质ⅡⅢ层记录到明显LTP。根据TBS后LTP幅度变化特征,LTP可分为瞬时增强型(有PTP)和缓慢增强型。高强度TBS诱导的LTP增幅百分数比低强度TBS诱导的LTP增幅大,但两者诱导的LTP成功率无显著差异。实验还表明,2月龄小鼠较4月龄小鼠LTP幅度增长率更高,提示听皮层LTP具有年龄依赖性特征。实验结果为进一步研究听觉模态学习记忆的神经机制提供了资料。

Theoretical studies on the mechanism of primary electron transfer in the photosynthetic reaction center of Rhodobacter sphaeroides

The mechanism of the primary electron transfer (ET) process in the photosynthetic reaction center (PRC) of Rhodobacter sphaeroides has been studied with quantum chemistry method of ab initio density functional theory (DFT) (B3LYP/6-31G) based on the optimized X-ray crystallographic structure. The calculation was carried out on different structural levels. The electronic structure of pigment molecules was first studied, and then the influence of the neighboring protein was taken into account at three approximation levels: (a) the surrounding proteins were treated as a homogeneous medium with a uniform dielectric constant (SCRF); (b) both the influence of axial coordination of His to the special pair P and ABChl as, and the hydrogen bonds between related residues and P and also BPhas were included; and (c) the influence of the electronic structure of the protein subunit chains as a whole was studied. The results suggest that: (1) according to the composition of the HOMO and LUMO of P, there might be a charge-separated state of (BChl_L ⁺BChl_M ⁻) for the excited state of P; (2) to treat the protein surroundings as a homogeneous medium is not sufficient. Different interactions between pigment molecules and related residues play different roles in the ET process; (3) the axial coordination of His to P raises the E _LUMO of P greatly, and it is very important for the ET process to occur in the PRC of wild-type bacterium; the axial coordination of His to ABChl as also raises their E _LUMO significantly; (4) the hydrogen-bonds between amino acid residues and P and also BPh as depress the E _LUMO of the pigment molecules to some extent, which makes the E _LUMO of P lower than those of ABChlas, and the E _LUMO of BPh a _L lower than that of BPh a _M. Consequently, the ET process from P to BPh a _L does not, according to our calculation model, occur via ABChl a _L. The possibility of the ET pathway from P to BPh a _L via ABChl a _L was discussed; (5) the frontier orbitals of protein subunit chains L and M are localized at the random coil area and the α–helix areas, respectively. Results mentioned above support the fact that the ET process proceeds in favourable circumstances along the branch L.

目的: 探究miR-135b-5p在小鼠脓毒症(sepsis)引起的急性肺损伤(ALI)模型中的表达水平及其对小鼠肺部炎症反应和细胞焦亡的影响。方法: 将C57BL/6小鼠随机分为6组,每组8只,通过盲肠结扎穿刺法(CLP)手术构建CLP诱导的脓毒症小鼠模型:腹腔注射0.1 mg/kg的巴比妥麻醉,腹部纵向切开暴露盲肠,结扎盲肠并用注射器针头进行穿孔,挤出部分肠道内容物后缝合伤口。假手术组(Sham组)开腹后不做任何处理缝合伤口,无CLP手术处理。治疗组分为CLP+NC mimic组,CLP+miR-135b-5p mimic组,CLP+NC mimic+empty vector组,CLP+消皮素D (GSDMD)组,CLP+miR-135b-5p mimic+GSDMD组。治疗组小鼠在CLP手术前一周皮下注射200 μl溶解于生理盐水的NC mimic(200 nmol/L),miR-135b-5p mimic(200 nmol/L),empty vector(100 nmol/L),GSDMD vector(100 nmol/L),每天注射1次,连续一周。术后24 h采用二氧化碳窒息法实施安乐死。采用qRT-PCR检测小鼠肺组织样本中miR-135b-5p和GSDMD mRNA的表达水平;苏木精-伊红(HE)染色检测小鼠肺组织形态和损伤状态;采用5 ml生理盐水冲洗小鼠右肺3次,每次持续约3~5 min,收集肺泡灌洗液(BALF),酶联免疫吸附实验(ELISA)检测小鼠肺泡灌洗液(BALF)中GSDMD、白介素1β(IL-1β)和白介素18(IL-18)的表达水平;蛋白免疫印迹法检测小鼠肺组织内含NLR家族PYRIN域蛋白3(NLRP3),半胱氨酸天冬氨酸蛋白水解酶1(caspase 1)以及切割后的N-端GSDMD端蛋白结构域(cleaved-GSDMD-N)的表达水平。双荧光素酶报告基因检测系统验证miR-135b-5p与GSDMD的靶向结合关系。结果: 与对照组相比,CLP组小鼠肺组织中有大量的炎症细胞浸润,肺泡损伤,细胞间质水肿及肺泡塌陷等病理特征,小鼠肺组织内细胞焦亡相关蛋白(NLRP3,caspase-1和GSDMD)的表达水平明显增加(P<0.01),但miR-135b-5p的表达水平明显下调(P<0.01);与CLP组相比,超表达miR-135b-5p能够明显抑制CLP诱导的小鼠肺组织内细胞焦亡(P<0.01),靶向抑制GSDMD的表达水平(P<0.01);超表达GSDMD能够逆转超表达miR-135b-5p对肺组织细胞焦亡的抑制作用(P<0.01),超表达miR-135b-5p能够通过靶向GSDMD抑制小鼠BALF中IL-1β及IL-18的表达水平(P<0.01)。结论: miR-135b-5p靶向下调GSDMD抑制细胞焦亡,改善脓毒症引起的ALI,为脓毒症诱导的ALI治疗提供了潜在的治疗靶点和理论依据。
