无花果花芽分化与植物激素含量的关系

在对布兰瑞克无花果花芽分化形态学研究的基础上,对花芽分化期无花果新梢第7或第8节位芽中植物激素的玉米素核苷（ZR）、脱落酸（ABA）、赤霉素（GA1＋3）、生长素（IAA）含量的变化进行了研究。结果表明,在花托和小花形成阶段,芽内需要较高水平的ZR、ABA和较低水平的GA1＋3、IAA。在花托和小花的形成阶段,ABA/IAA,ABA/GA1＋3,ZR/GA1＋3和ZR/IAA都有较高的比值。     

Effect of selenite combined with chemotherapeutic agents on the proliferation of human carcinoma cell lines

Selenite is frequently used in combination with cancer chemotherapeutic agents to reduce side effects. However, the cytoprotective activity of selenite may also reduce the efficacy of chemotherapeutic drugs on tumor cells. This study was designed to examine the effects of selenite combined with cytotoxic agents used in clinical protocols [e.g., doxorubicine, docetaxel, 5-fluorouracil (5-FU), methotrexate (MTX), mafosphamide, mitomycin C, gemcitabine, etoposide, cisplatin, irinotecan, and oxaliplatin] on the proliferation of various carcinoma cell types. The data demonstrated that selenite had no marked effects on the antiproliferative activity of docetaxel, doxorubicine, 5-FU, MTX, and mafosphamide in MDA-MB-231 breast cancer cells. Likewise, no consistent changes were observed in A549 lung cancer cell proliferation when selenite was combined with cisplatin, etoposide, gemcitabine, or mitomycin C. On the other hand, selenite potentiated the cytotoxicity of 5-FU, oxaliplatin, and irinotecan in HCT116 colon cancer cells by approx 1.1-fold, 2.7-fold, and 2.6-fold, respectively. In SW620 colon cancer cells, selenite induced a 1.5-fold and 4.3-fold increase of the antiproliferative activity of 5-FU and oxaliplatin, respectively. Whereas irinotecan showed no effects on SW620 cell growth, a combination with selenite resulted in 23% inhibition. Our results indicate that selenite did not reduce the antiproliferative activity of chemotherapeutic agents in vitro. In addition, selenite was able to increase the inhibitory activity of docetaxel in A549 lung cancer cells, and of 5-FU, oxaliplatin, and irinotecan in HCT116 and SW620 colon cancer cells implying selenite is potentially useful as an adjuvant chemotherapeutic agent.     

不同剂量链脲佐菌素腹腔注射制备大鼠糖尿病心肌病模型的病理学观察

建立糖尿病性心肌病（DCM）大鼠模型,观察不同剂量链脲佐菌素（STZ）单次腹腔注射后大鼠心肌和胰腺的病理学变化。用STZ 50 mg/kg、55 mg/kg、60 mg/kg 3种剂量单次腹腔注射,制备糖尿病大鼠模型;以柠檬酸三钠-柠檬酸缓冲液腹腔注射,作为对照。72 h后,测空腹血糖及做口服葡萄糖耐量实验（OGTT）;3周后,HE染色观察各组大鼠胰腺和心肌形态学变化,Masson三色染色观察心肌纤维化改变。OGTT和空腹血糖显示3组存活大鼠糖尿病均成模;3周末,50 mg/kg和55 mg/kg剂量死亡率为25%;60 mg/kg剂量高,达到75%;HE染色显示55 mg/kg剂量组大鼠胰岛明显萎缩,轮廓不清晰,胰岛细胞数量少,心肌细胞肥大、排列紊乱,细胞间隙增大,并有炎症细胞浸润;50 mg/kg组胰岛和心肌也有变化,但无55 mg/kg组明显。心肌Masson染色显示55 mg/kg组心肌内胶原组织明显增多,排列紊乱,分布不均。55 mg/kg剂量的STZ单次注射大鼠腹腔,造模3周可以建立较明显的DCM模型,可为DCM的组织病理学和实验研究提供一个较好的动物模型。

目的：研究全反式维甲酸（ATRA）联合替莫唑胺（TMZ）对胶质瘤细胞株U251增殖及凋亡的影响。方法：体外培养胶质瘤细胞株U251,分为ATRA组、TMZ组、ATRA＋TMZ组和空白对照4组,应用MTT法测定U251细胞生长抑制率,流式细胞仪检测细胞周期分布和细胞凋亡率,westernblot法检测细胞维甲酸受体β（RARβ）蛋白和凋亡相关蛋白Caspase．3蛋白的表达情况。结果：对照组、ATRA组、TMZ组及ATRA＋TMZ组的细胞生长抑制率分别为（1．72±0．12）％、（9．87±0．87）％、（23．87＋1．32）％及（35．74±1．44）％,ATRA＋TMZ组的细胞生长抑制率显著高于单独应用TMZ（P〈0．01）。对照组、ATRA组、TMZ组及ATRA＋TMZ组的细胞凋亡率分别为（1．32±0．11）％、（4．16±0．35）％、（8．44±0149）％、（15．27±1．03）％,ATRA＋TMZ组的凋亡率显著高于单独应用TMZ有更高的凋亡率（P〈0．01）。对照组、ATRA组、TMZ组及ATRA＋TMZ组RARp蛋白相对表达量分别0．452±0．054、0．837±0．068、0．195±0．021、0．376±0．039,ATRA＋TMZ组RARβ蛋白相对表达量显著高于TMZ组（P〈0．01）。ATRA＋TMZ组Caspase．的3蛋白表达相对水平为（0．832±0．059）,明显高于ATRA组（0．334±0．041）及TMZ组（0．521＋0．032）,差异具有统计学意义（P〈0．01）。结论：全反式维甲酸联合替莫唑胺能更有效抑制U251细胞的增殖,增加其凋亡率,这可能与其增加RARβ和Caspase-3蛋白的表达抑制U251细胞增殖、诱导细胞凋亡有关。     

核酶在大肠杆菌内对烟草花叶病毒靶RNA的切割作用

把一段取自TMV RNA的靶cDNA序列连接在一个体内表达转录载体内的报道基因CAT起译密码子ATG的下游组成了读码框不改变的CAT融合基因,通过测定载体在大肠杆菌内表达的CAT活力变化,观察了与CAT同时表达的核酶在体内对靶序列的作用。当专一核酶RZ1、RZ1A或RZ1表达时,CAT的酶活力下降了30%,但非专一核酶RZ3的表达并不改变CAT活力。凝胶电泳和引物延伸结果表明CAT活力的下降是由于这些核酶对融合CAT mRNA在5’靶序列区发生了专一切割从而影响了蛋白的合成所致。     

民勤绿洲生态需水与生态恢复对策

生态需水是当前水问题的一个研究热点,对于生态环境急剧恶化的内陆干旱区,这一研究尤为紧迫。以民勤绿洲作为研究区,采用阿维里扬诺夫估算方法,对其生态需水量进行了计算。结果表明,民勤绿洲现有植被最低生态需水量为1.4927×108m3,而目前的生态用水量只有0.3525×108m3,远没有达到维持极限抗性面积下的生态需水量。民勤绿洲生态用水的严重不足,主要是受到农田灌溉用水的严重挤占,从而加快了生态环境的日益恶化。通过分析,提出了生态恢复的对策与建议。     

A comprehensive gene network for fine tuning floral development in poplar

Herbaceous model species, especially Arabidopsis has provided a wealth of information about the genes involved in floral induction and development of inflorescences and flowers. While the genus Populus is an important model system for the molecular biology of woody plant. These two genuses differ in many ways. This study was designed to improve understanding of flower development in poplar at a system level, as its regulatory pathway to a large extent remains poorly known, owing to the presently limited mutant pool. To address this issue, a poplar GeneChip was employed to detect genes expressed during the whole floral developmental process. Using the expressed floral genes, a systematic gene network was constructed with the aid of functional association with Arabidopsis. The results suggested that autonomous, gibberellin, vernalization, photoperiod, ethylene, brassinosteroid, stress-induced and floral suppression pathways are involved in poplar flowering. Modularity analysis revealed several pathways in common with Arabidopsis, such as autonomous, gibberellin, vernalization and photoperiod pathways. In addition, brassinosteroid, stress-induced and floral suppression pathways were implicated as additional novel pathways. Notably, a difference in vernalization between Arabidopsis and poplar was revealed. Autonomous, gibberellin, vernalization, photoperiod, ethylene, brassinosteroid, stress-induced and floral suppression pathways integrated into a systematic gene network in floral development of poplar. Compared to Arabidopsis, brassinosteroid, stress-induced and floral suppression pathways are additional in poplar, and FLC is absent in vernalization pathway in poplar. Preliminary conclusions drawn here provide a basis for both identification of key genes and elucidation of molecular mechanisms involved in poplar floral development.     

Rht10基因对‘鲁麦15’农艺性状和光合生理特性的影响

利用鲁麦15、Rht10鲁麦15、Ms2鲁麦15及Ms2+Rht10鲁麦15近等基因系为试验材料,研究了Rht10基因对小麦农艺性状、净光合速率(Pn)、蒸腾速率(Tr)等光合生理特性的影响.结果表明,Rht10使小麦的挑旗、抽穗、开花期均推迟了4～5 d;Rht10对鲁麦15和Ms2鲁麦15的降秆强度分别为53.77%和53.00%,穗长显著缩短(P<0.05),千粒重显著减少,但对有效穂数无显著影响(P>0.05).含有Rht10基因的材料与不含此基因的材料之间的光合生理参数普遍存在显著差异,但在不同时期不同参数差异正负不同;在灌浆后期,Rht10对Pn有显著正效应(P<0.05);从开花期到灌浆后期,Pn与气孔导度(Gs)、胞间二氧化碳浓度(Ci)总体变化趋势相同,且相关性显著,表明Pn在一定程度上受气孔因素的限制;在灌浆中后期,Rht10对Gs有明显的正效应;在抽穗和开花期,Rht10对Tr有明显的正效应;Rht10对叶片水分利用效率(WUE)在4个生育期有明显的负效应.由此可见,Rht10基因对小麦的生育期、株高、穗长都有明显的不利影响,对各项光合生理参数也有普遍正向或负向的影响,在利用Rht10进行杂交育种时应充分考虑此基因带来的不利效应.
