Reactivation and Dedifferentiation of Differentiated Murine Erythroleukemic Cell Nuclei

A murine erythroleukemic cell line, 745 A4-TG, deficient in hypoxanthine-guanine-phosphoribosyl transferase, can be induced with 3 mM hexamethylene bisacetamide to yield at least 50% of cells undergoing irreversible erythroid differentiation and finally losing capacity for cell divisions. The effects of such induced differentiation of 745 A4-TG on its ability to form viable and proliferating hybrids when fused with 3T3 1T22 fibroblasts were investigated. We found that when the induced 745 A4-TG cells were used, more continuously proliferating hybrids were obtained than could be accounted for by the residual uninduced cells which remained in these induced preparations. This suggests that some of the induced 745 A4-TG cells, when fused with 3T3 1T22 reverted from the induced phenotype of a limited capacity for cell proliferation to an uninduced state of continuous proliferation. This observation was further confirmed with the use of fully differentiated 745 A4-TG cells, which were obtained after selection with a bromodeoxyuridine suicide treatment to eliminate the uninduced and the partially differentiated cells in the preparations. When these selected, fully differentiated cells, as characterized by their lack of proliferation capacity and thymidine kinase activity, were fused with 3T3 1T22 (also deficient in thymidine kinase), it was found that not only were viable hybrid colonies obtained in a selection medium, which precluded the proliferation of either parental cells, but these hybrids continued to proliferate for more than two months in selection medium. These data thus confirmed that some fully differentiated erythroleukemic nucleus components in the hybrids were reactivated to regain capacity for cell proliferation and to dedifferentiate to synthesize thymidine kinase for survival in the selection medium. The lack of hemoglobin synthesis by these hybrids also indicates dedifferention of these murine erythroleukemic components in the hybrids.     

脊髓苯环立啶受体的心血管效应与去甲肾上腺素能系统

本文应用受体阻断、高效液相,6-OHDA 化学损毁神经末梢和放射自显影等多学科技术方法,探讨脊髓苯环立啶受体的心血管效应与去甲肾上腺素能神经系统的关系。结果表明,哌唑嗪、育亨宾均可对抗 ith PCP 的降压和减慢心率作用,ith PCP 产生降压和减慢心率作用时,脊髓脑脊液内 MHPG 的含量升高;用6-OHDA 损毁脊髓 NA 能神经末梢后,ith PCP的降压和减慢心率作用大为减弱,脊髓 PCP 受体密度亦同时大为降低。可以认为,脊髓内有 PCP 受体分布于 NA 能神经末梢上,促进 NA 释放或抑制 NA 重摄取,可能是脊髓 PCP 受体产生心血管抑制效应的重要机理。     

康定虫草主要寄主斜脉蝠蛾的研究

冬虫夏草是一味名贵的中药材.四川康定虫草的主要寄主斜脉蝠蛾翅面色斑多变异,可区分成“黑白斑”和“黄毛斑”两大色斑型.经交配试验和成虫形态特征(触角、口器、翅脉、前足、雌雄外生殖器和鳞片的超微结构等)的观察,证明为同一种,经鉴定是斜脉蝠蛾(Hepialus oblifurcus Chu et Wang)^**.     

Volatile components of developing tomato fruit grown under field and greenhouse conditions

Volatile components of field- and glass greenhouse-grown tomatoes(Lycopersicon esculentum MILL., variety, V. R. Moscow) of differentmaturities were studied by gas-liquid and thin-layer chromatography.The following components were separated and identified: isobutylalcohol, isopentyl alcohol, hexyl alcohol, 2-methyl-3-hexanol,isovaleraldehyde, caproaldehyde, benzaldehyde, furfural, isopentylacetate, isopentyl butyrate, isopentyl isovalerate, butyl hexanoate,hexyl hexanoate, methyl salicylate and -pinene. Chromatogramswere consistent for both field- and greenhouse-grown tomatoesat all stages of maturity. Except for isovaleraldehyde and hexylalcohol, the biosynthesis of volatile components increased alongwith the growth of fruit. Isovaleraldehyde and hexyl alcohol,presumed to give the "green leafy" aroma of tomatoes, were foundto be in their highest concentrations at the breaker and thelarge-green stages, respectively. ¹This research was supported by a research grant—UI 00449—fromthe National Center for Urban and Industrial Health, U. S. PublicHealth Service.     

小麦幼苗根系镉螯合素

从经Cd~(2+)处理的小麦幼苗根系中分离得到一种镉结合复合物(Cd-BC)。通过SephadexG75,DEAE-52柱层析纯化,鉴定了此复合物性质:(1)紫外吸收光谱在255～265 tim间有一个“肩”,A_(250)/A_(280)>1;(2)在Sephadex G75柱层析上的表观分子量约为10kD,但在SDS-聚丙烯酰胺凝胶电泳上呈现的条带紧接着前沿,分子量非常小;(3)氨基酸组分分析,约90％的氨基酸残基为Glu/Gln,Cys和Gly,三者比例约为4:4:1。结果说明小麦幼苗根系Cd-BC是寡聚肽,是植物镉螯合素(Cd-PCs)的聚合体。

水稻高脯氨酸愈伤组织变异体盐胁迫下氨基酸和蛋白质组分的变化

游离氨基酸组分分析表明,水稻培养细胞中谷氨酸和丙氨酸含量很高,占氨基酸总量的４０％。高脯氨酸愈伤组织变异体总游离氨基酸含量比原型高４５．５％,其中脯氨酸增加最多,其次是雨氨酸和谷氨酸。当ＮａＣｌ１００ｍｍｏｌ／Ｌ处理时变异体和原型的总氨基酸都增加,而变异体的增量约为原型增量的３倍。蛋白水解氨基酸组分中变异体和原型各氨基酸的相对含量无大差异。蛋白质双向电泳表明,高脯氨酸变异体的蛋白组分发生变化,明显比原型多４个蛋白点。在ＮａＣｌ１００ｍｍｏｌ／Ｌ处理下原型亦产生５３．３ｋＤ蛋白,变异体中该蛋白的含量变得更多。盐胁迫下变异体和原型的蛋白质组分变化的差异十分显著,主要表现在蛋白质等电点的变化不同。
