MdMYB1转录因子调控红星苹果果实着色的计算机模拟分析及表达验证

 从‘红星’苹果(Malus domestica‘Delicious’) 果实中克隆获得了MdMYB1基因, 通过生物信息学分析( in silico analysis) 和活体细胞融合蛋白荧光观察, 确定其编码蛋白定位于细胞核。同时, 克隆了MdDFR和MdUFGT基因的启动子, 模拟分析表明2个基因的启动子序列中含有MYB结合的顺式作用元件。为了探讨MdMYB1转录因子是否调控MdDFR和MdUFGT基因的表达, 对不同光照条件下果皮花青素含量和基因表达进行了检测, 结果表明光照能够诱导花青素积累, 并迅速启动3个基因表达, 且3个基因表现出高度相似的表达模式, 表明MdMYB1转录因子可能直接调控MdDFR和MdUFGT基因的表达。     

Role of nestin in the maintenance of the structure of podocytes

AIM:To investigate the expression of nestin, a kind of cytoskeletal protein in cultured murine podocytes and the role of nestin in the maintenance of the podocyte structure.METHODS:The immortalized murine podocytes were cultured. The expression of nestin was determined by immunofluorescence. In differentiated podocytes, the expression of nestin was knock-down by RNAi. The effect of nestin knock-down was examined by Western blotting and immunofluorescence. The projections longer than maximal length of the cell body in which the cells transfected with siRNA and control vector that contained nonhomologous oligo were counted, respectively. RESULTS:Nestin siRNA markedly reduced or abolished nestin expression. In cells transfected with nestin siRNA, the percentage of cells with processes was significantly lower than that in cells transfected with control vector (77.0%±6.3% vs 16.0%±4.6%, n=3, P<0.01). CONCLUSION:Nestin may play an important role in maintaining normal function of podocytes.

Effects of berberine on IL-1 or tumour necrosis factor induced polymorphonuclear leucocyte－endothelium adhesion

AIM:To investigate the effect of berberine on IL-1 or tumour necrosis factor (TNF) induced polymorphonuclear leucocyte(PMN)-endothelium adhesion and adhesion molecules.METHODS:Based on the model of human umbilical vein endothelial cell (HUVEC), this study adopted Rose Bengal Stain, cell ELISA, immunocyto-chemical techniques to investigate the effect of berberine on PMN-endothelium adhesion and the expression of cell adhesion molecules (CAMs).RESULTS:Berberine inhibited IL-1, TNF-induced HUVEC adhesion for PMN when pretreated HUVEC and antagonised IL-1, TNF-induced upregulation of ICAM-1 on HUVEC. Meanwhile, TNF-stimulated PMN adhesion for HUVEC and CD18 upexpression on PMN was diminished in the presence of berberine.CONCLUSION: Inhibite PMN-endothelium adhesion by downregulating the CAMs expression to inhibite PMN migration across endothelium is one of the mechanisms of antiinflammation of berberine.     

Curcumin attenuates rat lung ischemia/reperfusion injury by interfering with autophagy

AIM To investigate the role of curcumin （CUR） in lung ischemia/reperfusion （I/R） injury （LIRI） and its relationship with autophagy. METHODS 40 SD rats were randomly divided into sham operation （sham） group, I/R group, solvent （DMSO） group, CUR group and CUR+rapamycin （CUR-Rap） group. The rats were intraperitoneally injected with normal saline, DMSO, CUR or CUR+Rap before operation. After the rat LIRI model was established, the lung tissues were taken to measure W/D, TLW, IAR, and the contents of SOD and MDA were also measured to indicate the oxidative stress level. Light and electron microscopes were used to observed the morphology and ultrastrucure of lung tissues. The expression levels of autophagy-related proteins were determined by Western blot to evaluate autophagy levels. RESULTS Compared with sham group, wet weight/dry weight （W/D）, total lung water （TLW）, injured alveoli rate（IAR） and malondialdehyde （MDA） content in all other groups were increased, superoxide dismutase （SOD） activity was decreased, the levels of autophagy were increased （P<0.05）, and lung tissue injury and cell ultrastructural damage were aggravated in CUR group. Compared with DMSO group, W/D, TLW and IAR and MDA content were decreased, SOD activity was decreased, autophagy levels were also decreased （P<0.05）, and lung tissue and cell ultrastructural damage were attenuated. Compared with CUR group, W/D, TLW, IAR and MDA content were increased, SOD activity declined, the autophagy levels were increased （P<0.05）, and damage of lung tissues and cells were more serious in CUR-Rap group. CONCLUSION Curcumin attenuates the lung I/R injury in rats, and its mechanism may be related to the reduction of oxidative stress and the inhibition of autophagy.     

菠萝蜜类胡萝卜素检测方法研究及呈色物质分析

为研究菠萝蜜果肉类胡萝卜素分析方法、分析呈色组分,本研究基于高效液相色谱法检测果肉中类胡萝卜素组分,通过比较不同色泽果肉中类胡萝卜素物质差异,鉴定呈色组分。结果表明,用含0.01%BHT的正己烷∶丙酮∶无水乙醇(2∶1∶1,V/V/V)作为提取液,结合超声震荡、皂化脱脂等步骤,能有效提取菠萝蜜果肉中总类胡萝卜素。组分分析采用YMC carotenoid column C30(4.6×250 mm)色谱柱,二极管阵列检测器(photodiode array,PDA)在450 nm波长下,检测出16种不同的类胡萝卜素组分。定量结果表明,β-柠乌素是红色果肉的呈色组分,紫黄质是黄肉果肉主要的呈色组分。差异组分之间存在一定的代谢关联,即紫黄质合成前体的裂解反应及下游异构化反应是造成果肉色泽差异的潜在原因。
