草鱼促性腺激素基因的原核表达及多克隆抗体的制备

选用原核表达载体pGEX-4T-1,分别插入草鱼GTH和FSHβ的cDNA序列,构建成N端含有GST融合蛋白标签的表达质粒,分别转化大肠杆菌BL21(DE3),在IPTG诱导下表达出2个融合蛋白,SDS-聚丙烯酰胺凝胶电泳显示重组融合蛋白GST-GTHα和GST-FSHβ的相对分子质量大约为35、38 kD.用抗GST标签的单克隆抗体分别对2个表达蛋白进行Western blot鉴定,结果显示重组蛋白表达正确.利用制备型SDS-PAGE纯化回收的蛋白并免疫新西兰大白兔,分别制备了抗GTH和抗FSHβ的具有较高效价的多克隆抗体.该结果为纯化天然GTH蛋白提供了有效的检测手段,也为进一步制备GTH单克隆抗体奠定了基础.

覆盖对西北旱地春小麦旗叶光合特性和水分利用的调控

2015—2016年在西北黄土高原半干旱区进行大田定位试验,以‘陇春35号’为试验材料,设全膜覆土穴播(PMS)、全砂覆盖穴播(SM)和露地穴播(CK)3个处理,分析旗叶光合特性、春小麦耗水特性和产量构成因子之间的关系.结果表明: PMS和SM 在0～300 cm土层的土壤贮水量在灌浆前分别较CK提高47.8和31.6 mm,灌浆期均较CK降低15.6 mm.PMS和SM提高春小麦挑旗-抽穗期和扬花-灌浆期的土壤耗水.PMS和SM的叶面积指数分别较CK提高59.0%～73.7%和40.1%～52.7%,叶片SPAD值分别较CK提高3.5%～28.4%和2.9%～23.9%.PMS的光合速率和气孔导度在春小麦挑旗、抽穗、扬花期分别较CK提高23.5%、33.0%、17.7%和32.6%、76.4%、66.9%,灌浆期分别较CK降低26.2%和16.4%;PMS和SM的气孔限制值在抽穗、扬花、灌浆期分别较CK降低14.6%、23.9%、22.3%和25.7%、29.8%、17.4%.叶片瞬时水分利用效率PMS在挑旗期较CK提高57.8%,扬花期降低11.2%.PMS的表观量子效率在抽穗、扬花期分别较SM和CK增加22.6%、18.7%和26.8%、14.3%.PMS和SM春小麦的株高和产量构成因子均显著高于CK,且在干旱年份增幅较大;PMS的产量较CK和SM分别提高36.2%和8.7%,水分利用效率分别提高9.4%和3.4%.因此,PMS和SM提高了小麦灌浆前土壤贮水,加剧了挑旗到抽穗和扬花到灌浆期的耗水,提高了小麦叶片SPAD值和叶面积指数,增强了小麦灌浆前旗叶光合功能,促进 “库”的建成和同化物的转运,实现增产和水分高效利用.PMS在丰水年份的增产潜力和干旱年份的适应能力比SM更强.

滨蒿内酯对哮喘豚鼠气管平滑肌细胞RyR2 mRNA表达影响

研究哮喘豚鼠气管平滑肌细胞Ryanodine受体亚型的变化及滨蒿内酯对其的影响。将动物分为3组:正常组、哮喘组和滨蒿内酯组,采用卵蛋白致敏复制豚鼠哮喘模型,滨蒿内酯组雾化吸入滨蒿内酯。应用RT-PCR鉴定豚鼠气管平滑肌细胞(TSMC)中RyR亚型分布并观察各组豚鼠气管平滑肌细胞RyR2 mRNA表达的变化。豚鼠TSMC表达RyR2和RyR3两个亚型;哮喘时豚鼠TSMC中RyR2 mRNA表达量(以RyR2区带与-βactin区带的密度百分比表示)为47.15%±15.30%,明显低于对照组(77.12%±6.16%)(P<0.01);滨蒿内酯组豚鼠TSMC中RyR2 mRNA量为63.77%±9.09%,较哮喘组增强(P<0.05)。豚鼠TSMC表达RyR2和RyR3两个亚型;哮喘时TSMC RyR2 mRNA表达下调;滨蒿内酯可使哮喘豚鼠TSMC RyR2表达水平得以恢复。     

肾脏免疫区室化与肾小管间质损伤

免疫系统区室化(compartmentalization)是近年提出的一个新观念,为人们从整体和局部两方面进一步了解免疫系统提供了新的视角,且有助于对临床疾病免疫机制的阐释。最近肾脏免疫系统区室化现象也已引起人们重视。肾小管损伤和肾间质纤维化是各类肾脏疾病发展到终末期肾衰竭的重要原因和共同通路,也与肾小管间质免疫区室的局部微环境调控密切相关,并涉及区域内树突状细胞等专职免疫细胞,以及具有免疫特性肾小管上皮细胞的共同作用及相互调节,由此影响着肾脏疾病的发生、发展及预后。因此,从肾脏免疫区室化角度进一步探讨肾小管间质损伤机制,有助于深入分析肾脏疾病的病变过程,并可为相关研究及临床诊治提供新的思路。

Association between polymorphisms of the CYP11A1 gene and polycystic ovary syndrome in Chinese women

The cholesterol side chain cleavage enzyme (CYP11A1) gene plays an important part in the synthesis of sex hormones and has been reported to be involved in the pathogenesis of polycystic ovary syndrome. A case-control study including 314 PCOS patients and 314 controls was conducted to assess the association of the SNPs rs4077582 and rs11632698 in CYP11A1 with PCOS using the polymerase chain reaction-restriction fragment length polymorphism method. Thereafter, 100 DNA samples were re-genotyped by direct sequencing for confirmation. The genotypic distribution of rs4077582 in women with PCOS differed from that in controls (P = 0.002). No such distributional difference was found in rs11632698 (P = 0.912). Data from our previous study of these two SNPs in another population including 290 PCOS patients and 344 controls was combined with the current data. Combined analysis (a total of 1262 participants, including 604 PCOS patients and 658 control women) showed a much more significant difference in the genotypic distribution of rs4077582 between PCOS and controls (P < 0.001). The T allele was more prevalent in PCOS patients (Odds ratio = 1.314; 95 % CI 1.122-1.540). The testosterone levels among the three genotypes for rs4077582 were different in the control group, as were the LH levels and the LH/FSH ratio. Therefore, SNP rs4077582 in CYP11A1 is strongly associated with susceptibility to PCOS and may alter the testosterone levels by the regulation of LH in different genotypes. No association was observed in rs11632698.
