目的 探索不同酸水解酪蛋白对W135群与Y群脑膜炎奈瑟菌(脑膜炎球菌)荚膜多糖产量的影响。方法 分别以NaCl质量分数为37%和14%的酸水解酪蛋白作为有机氮源配制改良半综合高盐培养基和低盐培养基,利用全自动细菌发酵罐分别在两种培养基里培养W135群和Y群脑膜炎球菌,比较这两种菌株在两种培养基中的生长时间、收获液菌密度( A 600 nm 值)、收获液去菌体后与去复合多糖后上清中的荚膜多糖含量,以及纯化后的精糖产量;比较高盐培养基收获液及其2倍稀释液中不同终含量的十六烷基三甲基溴化铵(cetyltrimethylammonium bromide, CTAB)溶液对多糖沉淀效果的影响。结果 W135群与Y群脑膜炎球菌在两种培养基中的培养时间差异无统计学意义( P >0.05),但高盐培养基收获液的菌密度、收获液去菌体后上清液中的多糖含量均高于低盐培养基收获液,差异有统计学意义( P < 0.05),而高盐培养基收获液纯化后的精糖产量低于低盐培养基,差异有统计学意义( P <0.05)。高盐培养液2倍稀释后,在CTAB终体积分数为0.04%时,W135群与Y群脑膜炎球菌多糖全部沉淀,而未稀释高盐培养液即使CTAB终体积分数提高到0.14%,依然也不能完全沉淀 W135群与Y群脑膜炎球菌多糖。结论 不同酸水解酪蛋白对W135群和Y群脑膜炎球菌的生长密度和荚膜多糖产量有影响,用CTAB溶液沉淀荚膜多糖时需控制收获液盐含量。     

组织工程用纤维增强天然多糖水凝胶的进展

天然多糖水凝胶具有良好的生物相容性,然而其力学性能调节幅度小,无法满足组织工程应用巨大的需求。通过纤维增强法,不仅可显著提高天然多糖水凝胶的力学性能,还能调节复合水凝胶的降解性能、促进细胞粘附、增殖与分化行为及其组织沉积。常用的天然多糖组织工程水凝胶的纤维增强方法有物理共混法、化学作用法、静电驱动法与自组装法等。本文综述了纤维增强水凝胶的结构与功能特点,讨论了纤维增强对组织工程水凝胶的意义,以期对纤维增强组织工程水凝胶的发展起到促进作用。     

Optimization of sulfated modification conditions of tremella polysaccharide and effects of modifiers on cellular infectivity of NDV

Based on our previous research, sulfated modification conditions of Tremella polysaccharide (TPS), the chlorosulfonic acid to pyridine (CSA-Pry) ratio, reaction temperature and time, were optimized by L₉ (3⁴) orthogonal design taking the yield and degree of sulfation (DS) of modifiers as indexes. Two TPSs, TPS_tp and TPS_70c, were modified under optimized conditions. The effects of two modifiers, sTPS_tp and sTPS_70c, on cellular infectivity of NDV were determined by MTT method taking the non-modified TPS_tp, TPS_tc and TPS_70c as controls. The results showed that the optimized modification conditions were reaction temperature of 80 °C, CSA-Pry ratio of 1:6 and reaction time of 1.5 h. Five polysaccharides at proper concentrations could significantly inhibit the infectivity of NDV to CEF. The virus inhibitory rates of sTPS_tp at 1.563 μg mL⁻¹ group were the highest and significantly higher than those of other three non-modified polysaccharide groups in three sample-adding modes. This indicated that sulfated modification could significantly improve the antiviral activity of TPS. sTPS_tp possessed the best efficacy and would be as a component of antiviral polysaccharide drug.

Control of xyloglucan endotransglucosylase activity by salts and anionic polymers

Crude extracts of cauliflower florets had high xyloglucan endotransglucosylase (XET) activity, but this was largely lost after partial purification and de-salting. Activity was restored (promoted up to 40-fold) by any of a wide variety of inorganic and organic salts. Optimum concentrations for Na⁺, K⁺ and NH₄⁺ salts were typically ~300 mM. The chlorides of Ca²⁺, Mg²⁺, Al³⁺ and La³⁺ were optimally active at lower concentrations (e.g. 0.1 mM LaCl₃), but became inhibitory at higher concentrations (e.g. 5 mM LaCl₃). Some anionic polysaccharides at 0.04–0.2% w/v (e.g. gum arabic, pectin and hypochlorite-oxidised xyloglucan) promoted the XET activity of de-salted enzyme, especially if a sub-optimal concentration of NaCl was also present; others (e.g. homogalacturonan, 4-O-methyl-glucuronoxylan and alginate) were inhibitory. Similar ionic effects were noted on the XET activity of the Arabidopsis protein XTH24 (heterologously expressed by insect cells); in this case carboxymethylcellulose was also stimulatory. To look for endogenous modulators of XET activity, we prepared a cold-water extract of cauliflower florets; after boiling and centrifugation, the supernatant [boiled cauliflower preparation (BCP)] promoted the XET activity of de-salted cauliflower enzyme and of XTH24. About half the activator present in BCP was an ethanol-precipitable, anionic polymer of apparent M_r <5,000. After acid hydrolysis the polymer yielded much arabinose and galactose, and small amounts of galacturonic and glucuronic acids amino acids were also present. The polymer may thus contain arabinogalactan-proteins. We suggest that acidic polymers and/or other apoplastic ions are naturally occurring regulators of XET action in vivo, and may thus control cell wall assembly, loosening, and growth.Abbreviations AGP Arabinogalactan-protein - BCP Boiled cauliflower preparation (cold-water-extract of cauliflower florets that was then boiled) - CMC Carboxymethylcellulose - DE Degree of esterification - GalA Galacturonic acid - GlcA Glucuronic acid - K_av Elution volume relative to those of Blue Dextran (K_av=0) and glucose (K_av=1) - TFA Trifluoroacetic acid - V₀ Void volume (centre of elution peak of Blue Dextran) - V_i Totally included volume (centre of elution peak of glucose) - XEH Xyloglucan endohydrolase (activity) - XET Xyloglucan endotransglucosylase (activity) - XLLGol A xyloglucan-derived oligosaccharide, xylose₃·glucose₃·galactose₂·glucitol - XTH Xyloglucan endotransglucosylase/hydrolase (protein) - µ Ionic strength

目的:研究条斑紫菜多糖体外抗肿瘤的生物学活性。方法:应用生化技术分离和纯化条斑紫菜多糖,获得条斑紫菜多糖的2个组分,分别为PY-D1和PY-D2;在体外培养条件下分别用不同浓度的条斑紫菜多糖PY-D2处理4种人肿瘤细胞,通过MTT法观察条斑紫菜多糖PY-D2对4种人肿瘤细胞生长的影响;采用流式细胞仪检测肿瘤细胞的细胞周期变化。结果:条斑紫菜多糖PY-D2诱导HO-8910、MCF-7、K562和7721肿瘤细胞72h后,对其生长有明显的抑制作用,呈剂量依赖效应,500mg/LPY-D2的抑制率分别为21.2%、23.6%、19.8%和21%(P<0.001)。流式细胞仪检测表明PY-D2可以阻滞肿瘤细胞的细胞周期于G0/G1期或G2/M期。结论:条斑紫菜多糖PY-D2具有抑制肿瘤细胞HO-8910、MCF-7、K562和7721生长的作用,其有关的分子生物学作用机理值得进一步研究。     

野油菜黄单胞菌野油菜致病变种中一个与EPS合成有关的新基因的鉴定

用转座子Tn5gusA5对野油菜黄单胞菌野油菜致病变种(Xanthomonas campestris pv.campestris,简称Xcc)野生型菌株8004进行诱变,分离到一批胞外多糖(EPS)合成减少的突变体。采用TAIL-PCR(thermal asymmetric interlaced PCR)分析突变体的Tn5gusA5插入位点,发现其中一株编号为151D09的突变体的插入位点位于Xcc 8004菌株的基因组编号为XC3695的ORF内,该ORF功能尚未见报道。序列分析表明,该ORF演绎的编码产物与Serratia marcescens的kdtX基因和Klebsiella pneumoniae的waaE基因演绎的编码产物分别具有52%和50%的相似性,并具有第2家族糖基转移酶的功能域, 因此暂将该ORF命名为waxE基因。用同源双交换方法构建了waxE基因的缺失突变体,并采用PCR和Southern杂交的方法对突变体进行了验证。waxE基因缺失突变体在营养丰富培养基的生长繁殖不受影响,但其EPS产量与野生型菌株8004相比,降低35%左右,并且一段PCR合成的包含waxE基因的DNA片段能反式互补waxE基因缺失突变体,恢复缺失突变体的EPS产量,表明Xcc waxE基因与EPS的生物合成有关。     

Observations of a set of isomeric anti-lactose antibodies directed against a group D streptococcal polysaccharide

Sets of isomeric anti-lactose antibodies with specificity for the lactose units of a cell wall polysaccharide fromStreptococcus faecalis strain N were induced in rabbits immunized with a vaccine of nonviable cells of the organism. Such sets of anti-lactose antibodies were isolated from the serum of immunized animals by affinity chromatography on lactosyl-Sepharose. Gel electrofocusing experiments showed that the preparations consisted of multiprotein components. One preparation of antibodies of 13 isomers was separated into homogeneous components by liquid isoelectrofocusing. The individual isomeric antibodies exhibit specificity for the lactose units of the antigenic polysaccharide, possess isoelectric points in the range of 5.9–8.0, and belong to the IgG class of immunoglobulins, and each member yields one light chain and one heavy chain on dissociation in sodium dodecyl sulfate (SDS) and mercaptoethanol. These results have been interpreted as evidence for the assembly of the chains of isomeric antibodies by a single-chain pairing mechanism.
