一种宏观基因调控分子SATB1

自身多聚化的SATB1(special AT-rich sequences binding protein 1)围绕异染色质形成笼状结构分布在细胞核中,SATB1不仅结合染色质DNA的核基质结合区(matrix attachment regions,MARs),也结合核基质,能够使DNA锚定在核基质并形成袢环状结构(loop)。SATB1的磷酸化、乙酰化和小泛素化样修饰可调节其DNA结合能力和细胞核内亚结构的定位;SATB1与多种蛋白质相互作用,能够募集染色质重塑复合物和组蛋白修饰酶,实现对其靶基因表达的时空特异性调控。SATB1在调节细胞分化、细胞凋亡、肿瘤生长与转移和X染色体失活等方面起到重要作用,并有可能成为肿瘤转移的治疗靶点。

Proteome analysis of hepatocellular carcinoma by two-dimensional difference gel electrophoresis: novel protein markers in hepatocellular carcinoma tissues

Hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) is a highly malignant tumor, and chronic infection with hepatitis B virus is one of its major risk factors. To identify the proteins involved in HCC carcinogenesis, we used two-dimensional fluorescence DIGE to study the differentially expressed proteins in tumor and adjacent nontumor tissue samples. Samples from 12 hepatitis B virus-associated HCC patients were analyzed. A total of 61 spots were significantly up-regulated (ratio >/= 2, p 相似文献   

The thymic stromal cell line MTSC4 induced thymocyte apoptosis in a non-MHC-restricted manner

Mouse thymic stromal cell line 4 (MTSC4) is one of the stromal cell lines established in our laboratory. While losing the characteristics of epithelial cells, they express some surface markers shared with thymic dendritic cells (TDCs). To further study the biological functions of these cells, we compared the capability of MTSC4 with TDCs in the induction of thymocyte apoptosis, using thymic reaggregation culture system. Apoptosis of thymocytes induced by MTSC4 and TDCs was measured by Annexin V and PI staining and analyzed by flow cytometry. We found that MTSC4 selectively augmented the apoptosis of CD4^ 8^ (DP) thymocytes. This effect was Fas/FasL independent and could not be blocked by antibodies to MHC class I and class II molecules. In addition, MTSC4 enhanced the apoptosis of DP thymocytes from different strains of mice, which implies that MTSC4-induced thymocyte apoptosis is not mediated by the TCR recognition of self peptide/MHC molecules. In contrast to MTSC4, thymocyte apoptosis induced by TDCs was MHC-restricted. Thus, MHC-independent fashion of stromal-DP thymocyte interaction may be one of the ways to induce thymocyte apoptosis in thymus. Our study has also shown that the interaction of MTSC4 stromal cells and thymocytes is required for the induction of thymocyte apoptosis.     

MicroRNAs and their role in viral infection

Recently, a class of about 22 nucleotides (nt) small RNA has been discovered in many eukaryotes, termed microRNAs (miRNAs), which have a variety of functions. Many recent findings have demonstrated that viruses can also encode their own miRNAs. Meanwhile, other findings reveal a relationship between host miRNA and viral infection. These findings suggest a tight relationship between host and viral infection via miRNA pathway. This article introduces the miRNAs encoded by viruses and reviews the advances of the interaction of the mammalian host miRNAs and viral infection.     

马铃薯Y病毒蚜传辅助成分介导PVX/PVY协生作用

构建了马铃薯Y病毒中国株系（PVY－C）蚜传辅助成分（HC－Pro）基因的正义、反义和缺失三种植物表达载体,通过农杆菌介导法转化烟草品种NC89。Southern blot分析表明,HC－Pro基因及其突变体已经整合到烟草染色体中,Western blot分析证明,正义HC－Pro基因及其缺失突变体在转基因烟草中有表达产物,攻毒试验结果表明,转正义,HC－Pro基因及其缺失突变体不仅能够提高T1转基因烟草中PVY－C的病毒积累和致病,而且对异源病毒PVX具有同样的作用,而转反义HC－Pro基因烟草对PVY－C和PVX的致病性无影响,因此,PVY－C HC－Pro基因介导PVX／PVY的协作作用。     

套袋与未套袋苹果果实表皮及心部真菌种群结构与变化动态

2011年在山东海阳,2013年在蓬莱和栖霞选取当地常规管理的苹果园,采用传统组织分离法对套袋苹果、未套袋苹果的果实表皮及心部组织进行真菌分离并进行形态学和分子生物学鉴定。对不同时期采集的套袋及未套袋果实表皮与心部的真菌种类、菌落数量、组织分离率、多样性、相似性系数、相对分离频率等指标进行统计分析。结果表明,两个年度内从果实表皮共分离获得真菌43属,从心部获得真菌31属,相对分离频率较高的真菌包括：链格孢Alternaria spp.、枝状枝孢Cladosporium cladosporioides、镰孢菌Fusarium spp.、青霉菌Penicillium spp.等。研究结果表明：果实套袋后,在果实表皮定殖真菌的种类减少,多样性降低,而数量增加,组织带菌率升高;随果实生长,套袋果实表皮上的真菌种类与未套袋果实表皮真菌种类的相似度逐渐降低;7、8月份,套袋果实表皮上真菌种类明显减少,至8月底,套袋果实表面只有链格孢等少数几种优势真菌定殖。果实套袋后,定殖于果实心部的真菌种类和数量有所波动,套袋果和未套袋果上所分离真菌的相似度有所降低;5月底自果实心部分离真菌的种类和数量与9月底所分离真菌的种类和数量差异不大。

正常人及不育者精子核DNA的定量研究

用流式细胞术,Feulgen显微分光光度法,荧光显微分光光度法测定正常人精子核DNA相对含量:结果表明,上述方法所测得的精子核DNA相对含量稳定,变化范围小。同时用Feulgen显微分光光度法测定不育者精子核DNA相对含量。显示不育者精子核DNA相对含量高于正常人,提示精子核DNA核蛋白复合物异常可能是某些男性不育症的原因。此项研究为诊断男性不育症提供了新方法,在男性学精子核分子研究方面提供了依据。
