蛹虫草菌粉胶囊抑制肺部炎症及缓解肺纤维化的研究

传统中药可治疗肺炎。新型急性呼吸综合征冠状病毒2型（SARS-CoV-2）外部囊膜上的S蛋白是决定病毒毒力的关键因素及主要抗原。本研究利用SARS-CoV-2病毒的S蛋白和细菌脂多糖（LPS）诱导的肺炎模型,初步探索了蛹虫草菌粉对肺炎模型的促炎性因子、单核/巨噬细胞和髓源抑制性细胞（MDSCs）以及纤维化的调节作用。研究发现蛹虫草菌粉可降低SARS-CoV-2病毒的S蛋白组和LPS组小鼠血清中TNF-α、IL-6和IL-10的表达,并降低肺组织、肺泡灌洗液和外周血中巨噬细胞的比例,降低外周血和脾脏中MDSC的数量。进一步研究发现,蛹虫草还可降低SARS-CoV-2病毒的S蛋白组和LPS组小鼠肺组织羟基脯氨酸的表达和成纤维细胞的分布,进而减轻小鼠的肺纤维化水平。qRT-PCR实验发现蛹虫草菌粉处理不仅可以降低SARS-CoV-2病毒的S蛋白组小鼠肺组织中TGF-β R1水平,还降低SARS-CoV-2病毒的S蛋白组和LPS组肺组织中smad2的表达。因此认为蛹虫草菌粉可缓解SARS-CoV-2病毒的S蛋白和LPS诱导的肺部炎症和纤维化症状,且纤维化缓解作用可能与TGF-β R1/smad2信号通路相关。     

Prohibitin Interacts with Envelope Proteins of White Spot Syndrome Virus and Prevents Infection in the Red Swamp Crayfish,Procambarus clarkii

Prohibitins (PHBs) are ubiquitously expressed conserved proteins in eukaryotes that are associated with apoptosis, cancer formation, aging, stress responses, cell proliferation, and immune regulation. However, the function of PHBs in crustacean immunity remains largely unknown. In the present study, we identified a PHB in Procambarus clarkii red swamp crayfish, which was designated PcPHB1. PcPHB1 was widely distributed in several tissues, and its expression was significantly upregulated by white spot syndrome virus (WSSV) challenge at the mRNA level and the protein level. These observations prompted us to investigate the role of PcPHB1 in the crayfish antiviral response. Recombinant PcPHB1 (rPcPHB1) significantly reduced the amount of WSSV in crayfish and the mortality of WSSV-infected crayfish. The quantity of WSSV in PcPHB1 knockdown crayfish was increased compared with that in the controls. The effects of RNA silencing were rescued by rPcPHB1 reinjection. We further confirmed the interaction of PcPHB1 with the WSSV envelope proteins VP28, VP26, and VP24 using pulldown and far-Western overlay assays. Finally, we observed that the colloidal gold-labeled PcPHB1 was located on the outer surface of the WSSV, which suggests that PcPHB1 specifically binds to the envelope proteins of WSSV. VP28, VP26, and VP24 are structural envelope proteins and are essential for attachment and entry into crayfish cells. Therefore, PcPHB1 exerts its anti-WSSV effect by binding to VP28, VP26, and VP24, preventing viral infection. This study is the first report on the antiviral function of PHB in the innate immune system of crustaceans.     

一个马铃薯种质资源圃致病疫霉群体的分析

由致病疫霉Phytophthora infestans引起的晚疫病是马铃薯生产上最严重的病害之一,认识其群体结构特征,可为晚疫病防控策略的制定以及抗病品种的合理布局提供指导。对2009年采自宁夏一个种植有93个品种(品系)的马铃薯种质资源圃的致病疫霉进行了交配型、致病型和线粒体DNA单倍型分析,结果表明,116个致病疫霉菌株中存在A1、A2和自育型3种交配型,发生频率分别为24.1%、57.8%和18.1%,A2交配型为优势类型;对其中43个菌株的致病型进行测试,检测到两种致病类型:1.2.3.4.5.6.7.8.9.10.11和3.4.10,发生频率分别为95.3%和4.7%,可克服所有11个抗病基因的1.2.3.4.5.6.7.8.9.10.11类型占绝对优势;对62个菌株的线粒体DNA单倍型进行分析,检测到Ia和IIa两种类型,发生频率分别为74.2%和25.8%。综合表型和基因型数据分析发现,该马铃薯种质资源圃中致病疫霉群体致病型单一,但致病型毒力因子高度复合;线粒体DNA分析表明,该马铃薯种质资源圃引入了遗传背景较为复杂的致病疫霉"新"群体。     

水曲柳腋芽离体快繁研究初报

以水曲柳带顶芽、腋芽茎段为外植体进行离体培养,研究其适宜的灭菌方法、基本培养基种类和激素对腋芽萌发、丛芽产生、芽苗增殖的影响。结果表明,水曲柳的腋芽茎段为快繁的适宜外植体,茎段灭菌以用0.05%HgCl₂处理2 min最好。在萌芽培养中,BA和2ip均可促进腋芽萌发,但以8 mg·L^-1 BA处理时萌发效果最好,萌发率达100％;将腋芽萌发后长成的新枝转入添加ZT的培养基中,出现丛芽,在添加1.0 mg·L^-1的ZT的培养基中增殖效果最好,增殖系数达到3.0。无论在萌芽培养还是增殖培养中均发现WPM培养基最适合水曲柳腋芽的离体快繁。     

Epigallocatechin-3-gallate对原代大鼠脂肪细胞脂肪分解及HSL、TGH转录表达的影响

体内能量代谢是维持机体正常生理活动的基础,而脂肪细胞的脂解是能量代谢的核心反应之一,调控脂肪酸从TG库释放,后由血清白蛋白转运至体内各个组织以满足能量需要。如果脂解作用出现障碍,就会影响机体能量的平衡进而引发肥胖和胰岛素抵抗等疾病。表没食子儿茶素没食子酸酯(Epig
