针对HCV基因组中较为保守的区域-5'UTR,设计一段GS引导序列,并与大肠杆菌RNase P的催化亚基-M1RNA的3'末端共价结合,构建序列特异性M1GS核酶-M1GS-HCV/C20。体外实验证实,所构建的人工核酶对HCV 5'UTR具有明显的靶向切割活性,且这种切割发生于靶序列的特定位点。本研究将为进一步阐明该核酶在胞内的活性、乃至动物模型内评价其抗病毒效果提供实验材料,从而为新型抗HCV药物及反义基因治疗的研究奠定基础。     

锌离子存在下EGCG对前列腺癌细胞生长的影响

本文研究了锌离子存在下EGCG对前列腺癌细胞PC-3生长的影响．研究发现Zn^2＋可以增强EGCG抗癌活性,Zn^2＋存在下。EGCG处理后前列腺癌细胞PC-3克隆形成率显著下降。以RT—PCR、免疫组化方法研究Zn^2＋、EGCG对67kD层粘连蛋白受体（67kD Laminin Receptor,67LR）表达调控,结果表明Znn可通过上调67LR的表达,为EGCG提供更多作用的靶位点,增强EGCG对前列腺癌细胞PC-3的毒性作用。MMP-9是肿瘤侵袭转移过程中关键的基质金属蛋白酶。MMP-9活性与癌细胞的转移潜能密切相关。本文研究发现Zn^2＋、EGCG处理可通过抑制MMP-9活性,降低前列腺癌细胞PC-3的迁移率．其中80umol／LEGCG＋80umol／L Zn^2＋处理24h后显著抑制了PC-3细胞的迁移率。

The N-Terminal Region of IFITM3 Modulates Its Antiviral Activity by Regulating IFITM3 Cellular Localization

Interferon-inducible transmembrane (IFITM) protein family members IFITM1, -2, and -3 restrict the infection of multiple enveloped viruses. Significant enrichment of a minor IFITM3 allele was recently reported for patients who were hospitalized for seasonal and 2009 H1N1 pandemic flu. This IFITM3 allele lacks the region corresponding to the first amino-terminal 21 amino acids and is unable to inhibit influenza A virus. In this study, we found that deleting this 21-amino-acid region relocates IFITM3 from the endosomal compartments to the cell periphery. This finding likely underlies the lost inhibition of influenza A virus that completes its entry exclusively within endosomes at low pH. Yet, wild-type IFITM3 and the mutant with the 21-amino-acid deletion inhibit HIV-1 replication equally well. Given the pH-independent nature of HIV-1 entry, our results suggest that IFITM3 can inhibit viruses that enter cells via different routes and that its N-terminal region is specifically required for controlling pH-dependent viruses.     

基于拉曼光谱的鼻咽癌细胞株总蛋白放射敏感性研究

本文以鼻咽癌细胞株CNE2为放射敏感性的研究对象,经不同剂量X射线照射及不同时间培养后分别提取总蛋白,用共聚焦显微拉曼光谱仪检测其拉曼光谱。统计分析表明:被测样品的拉曼光谱中观察到一些可以归属于蛋白质物质的较为明显的基团频率振动峰;不同剂量的X射线照射后,总蛋白质的平均拉曼光谱与对照组谱形基本一致,但与对照组间的光谱存在着对应峰信号强度的不同。实验提示:照射后谱峰强度的增大或减小,提示着相关物质含量有所改变。分析照射后癌细胞总蛋白拉曼光谱的变化情况,结合数学统计方法,以探寻放射敏感性的特征拉曼标志,可以作为研究肿瘤放射敏感性的手段之一。     

5-Aza-CdR对胶质瘤细胞生长及LRRC4基因异常甲基化的影响

LRRC4是一个新发现的胶质瘤抑瘤基因,它在多种胶质瘤细胞系和胶质瘤组织表达缺失或下调,前期研究结果表明胶质瘤细胞和组织中LRRC4的编码区未发生突变、缺失或重排．为了获得LRRC4作为胶质瘤抑瘤基因的进一步证据,采用去甲基化制剂5-Aza-CdR处理LRRC4表达缺失的SF126和SF767胶质瘤细胞,MSP和RT-PCR检测表明,LRRC4的启动子在表达缺失的SF126和SF767细胞存在完全的甲基化,而5-Aza-CdR能逆转LRRC4启动子的甲基化状态,恢复LRRC4的表达．MTT法测定显示,5-Aza-CdR使SF126和SF767胶质瘤细胞增殖受到明显抑制,并呈时间和剂量的依赖性．同时流式细胞仪检测显示,5-Aza-CdR使SF126和SF767胶质瘤细胞周期阻滞于G0/G1期．因此,5-Aza-CdR能抑制胶质瘤细胞SF126和SF767增殖并干扰其细胞周期,LRRC4启动子异常甲基化是其在胶质瘤细胞中表达缺失的重要机制,5-Aza-CdR能逆转LRRC4基因的甲基化,恢复LRRC4的表达,为LRRC4作为胶质瘤去甲基化治疗的靶标提供了科学依据．

A chronocoulometric aptasensor based on gold nanoparticles as a signal amplification strategy for detection of thrombin

A sensitive chronocoulometric aptasensor for the detection of thrombin has been developed based on gold nanoparticle amplification. The functional gold nanoparticles, loaded with link DNA (LDNA) and report DNA (RDNA), were immobilized on an electrode by thrombin aptamers performing as a recognition element and capture probe. LDNA was complementary to the thrombin aptamers and RDNA was noncomplementary, but could combine with [Ru(NH₃)₆]³⁺ (RuHex) cations. Electrochemical signals obtained by RuHex that bound quantitatively to the negatively charged phosphate backbone of DNA via electrostatic interactions were measured by chronocoulometry. In the presence of thrombin, the combination of thrombin and thrombin aptamers and the release of the functional gold nanoparticles could induce a significant decrease in chronocoulometric signal. The incorporation of gold nanoparticles in the chronocoulometric aptasensor significantly enhanced the sensitivity. The performance of the aptasensor was further increased by the optimization of the surface density of aptamers. Under optimum conditions, the chronocoulometric aptasensor exhibited a wide linear response range of 0.1–18.5 nM with a detection limit of 30 pM. The results demonstrated that this nanoparticle-based amplification strategy offers a simple and effective approach to detect thrombin.
