In situ hybridization of atrial natriuretic peptide mRNA in the endothelial cells of human umbilical vessels

The localization of mRNA encoding preproatrial natriuretic peptide (ANP) was investigated in cultured human umbilical vein endothelial cells (HUVEC) and tissue preparations of umbilical vein and artery. The techniques used were in situ hybridization and in situ hybridization combined with immunocytochemistry, using ³²P-radiolabelled and non-radioactive digoxigenin labelled complementary RNA probes. Human ANP mRNAs are mainly localized in the endothelial cells of the umbilical vein and, to a lesser extent, in the endothelial cells of the umbilical artery. The autoradiographic labelling and the intensity of digoxigenin staining were significantly reduced by treatment with RNase before in situ hybridization. This study provides unequivocal evidence for the expression of the ANP gene in the endothelial cells of human umbilical vessels, confirming that these endothelial cells have the ability to synthesize this peptide. The functional significance of the presence of the ANP mRNA in the endothelial cells of human umbilical vessels is discussed.     

Effects of Mechanized,Deep Application of Slow-Release Fertilizer on Yield and Nitrogen,Phosphorus, and Potassium Utilization of Direct-Seeded Rice

Compared with the standard method of manual fertilizer broadcasting (MFB), mechanized hill-drilling direct-seeding with deep application of slow-release nitrogen fertilizer (MHDDF) is an efficient method to integrate both fertilization and seeding. However, there are few studies that combine the use of slow-release fertilizer with MHDDF. We sought to explore the combined effect of MHDDF with slow-release fertilizer on rice yield and nitrogen, phosphorus, and potassium utilization, compared to MFB. We compared three different MHDDF methods (D30: 450 kg ha^?1, D40: 600 kg ha^?1, D50: 750 kg ha^?1), with one MFB method (B50: 750 kg ha^?1), and one control (CK: 0 kg ha^?1). We found that the yield of all MHDDF method was higher than that of both the MFB method. Yield was the highest in the D50 treatment and was 14.14–46.03% higher than that in B50 treatment. Biomass accumulation, nutrient accumulation, and nutrient use efficiency were similarly higher in MHDDF method than both MFB and CK. Compared to B50, the D50 treatment increased nitrogen recovery efficiency by 170.53–231.50%, phosphorus recovery efficiency by 480.00–724.25%, and potassium recovery efficiency by 201.55–169.59%. Overall, we found that combining MHDDF with slow-release fertilizer was an effective method to increase rice yield and nutrient use efficiency compared with MFB.

     

代谢工程改造大肠杆菌一碳模块高效合成L-甲硫氨酸

L-甲硫氨酸又名L-蛋氨酸,是人体必需8种氨基酸之一,在饲料、医药、食品领域具有重要应用。以实验室前期构建的M2(Escherichia coli W3110?IJAHFEBC/PAM)为出发菌株,以模块化代谢工程策略构建了一株L-甲硫氨酸高产菌株。首先通过过表达亚甲基四氢叶酸还原酶(methylenetetrahydrofolate reductase,MetF)和筛选不同来源的丝氨酸羟甲基转移酶(hydroxymethyltransferase,GlyA),增强了一碳模块甲基供体的生成,优化了一碳模块。随后针对一碳模块的前体供应,过表达了胱醚裂解酶(cysteamine lyase,MalY)和半胱氨酸内运基因(fliY),有效地提高了L-高半胱氨酸和L-半胱氨酸的供应。最终摇瓶发酵L-甲硫氨酸的产量由2.8 g/L提高至4.05 g/L,5 L发酵罐中达到18.26 g/L。研究结果表明,一碳模块对L-甲硫氨酸的生物合成具有十分重要的影响,在细胞内通过优化一碳模块,可以实现L-甲硫氨酸的高效生物合成。本研究为进一步提高微生物发酵生产L-甲硫氨酸的水平奠定了基础。
