银盘电站蓄水前后乌江下游产漂流性卵鱼类早期资源变化

为了探究水电开发对流域鱼类资源的影响,遏制生物多样性衰退的趋势,2009-2015年5-7月对乌江下游干流漂流性鱼卵进行阶段性调查,初步分析银盘电站蓄水前后产漂流性卵鱼类的自然繁殖变化。结果表明,调查期间共采集到鱼卵12种,包括犁头鳅（Lepturichthys fimbriata）、中华金沙鳅（Jinsha sinensis）、中华沙鳅（Botia superciliaris）、圆筒吻鮈（Rhinogobio cylindricus）、吻鮈（Rhinogobio typus）、长鳍吻鮈（Rhinogobio ventralis）、蛇鮈（Saurogobio dabryi）、花斑副沙鳅（Parabotia fasciata）、铜鱼（Coreius heterodon）、中华倒刺鲃（Spinibarbus sinensis）、翘嘴鲌（Culter alburnus）和蒙古鲌（Culter mongolicus）。漂流性鱼卵年资源量为1012.99万~18673.97万粒,鱼类产卵场自上而下分布有彭水、高谷、江口（杨家沱）、武隆（石鼻子）、土坎（桃子沟）、羊角6处。银盘电站蓄水后,乌江下游产漂流性卵鱼类的自然繁殖较蓄水前发生了显著变化。种类组成中,典型的流水生境繁殖类群减少,缓静水生境繁殖类群增加;产卵规模显著下降,以长鳍吻鮈、铜鱼、圆筒吻鮈、中华金沙鳅的减少尤为显著;产卵场减少并逐步往坝下压缩,数量由6处减少到3处,长度由35 km减少到18 km,位于银盘库区的彭水、高谷产卵场消失,江口产卵场规模显著减少。产漂流性卵鱼类的大规模产卵都在涨水时发生,不同种类产卵对水文条件的要求有所差异,大坝建设引起的栖息地萎缩和水文情势改变是导致乌江下游漂流性卵鱼类早期资源衰退的主要原因。建议采用水库生态调度补偿措施,通过合理下泄生态流量,加大脉冲流量和流水江段长度来满足重要鱼类的繁殖和早期发育需求,并结合人工增殖放流、鱼类基础监测和生态学研究等综合手段,强化乌江下游鱼类资源的生态修复。     

微绿球藻、隐藻、颤藻的种间竞争关系

采用陈海水配制的无机培养液,添加营养盐的无机培养液和对虾养殖池水3种培养液,分别对微绿球藻(Nannochloropsis oculata)、隐藻(Dyptomonas eyosa)和颤藻(Oscillatoria sp.)进行单培养和混合培养,探讨3种微藻的增殖规律和相互关系.观测各处理组微藻的生长状况,并以Lotka-Volterra的双种竞争模型为基础,计算3种微藻在生长拐点后各取样点的竞争抑制参数.结果显示,在各处理组中,实验前期微绿球藻和隐藻对颤藻的生长都具有一定的促进作用,颤藻在混合培养组中的生物量大于单培养组,而微绿球藻和隐藻的最大生物量均出现在其单培养组.在各组生长拐点后,微绿球藻对颤藻的影响较小,隐藻对颤藻的抑制作用明显,各取样点隐藻对颤藻的竞争参数远大于微绿球藻对颤藻的竞争参数(P＜0.05);颤藻对微绿球藻有较小的抑制作用,而对隐藻的抑制作用明显,各取样点颤藻对隐藻的竞争参数均为各组的最大值.实验结果表明,3种微藻按竞争力从大到小依次为颤藻,隐藻,微绿球藻.颤藻对隐藻和微绿球藻有较强的抑制作用,而微绿球藻和隐藻之间的竞争抑制作用较弱,能够达到"共存"状态.

Effect of transketolase-like protein 1 on proliferation of human nasopharyngeal carcinoma cells

AIM: To investigate the effect of transketolase-like protein 1 (TKTL1) on proliferation of human nasopharyngeal carcinoma cells in vitro. METHODS: The siRNA against TKTL1 mRNA was constructed and transfected into human nasopharyngeal carcinoma cells (CNE cell line). The activity of transketolase was detected before and after RNA interference.Real-time PCR was used to determine the mRNA expression of transketolase (TKT) gene family in the CNE cells.Flow cytometry and MTT test were used to detect the effect of anti-TKTL1 siRNA on cell proliferation and cell cycle in the CNE cells. RESULTS: The total transketolase activity was significantly decreased in the CNE cells transfected with siRNA TKTL1 construct compared with the cells transfected with control vector or untransfected CNE cells. No significant difference in the expression level of TKT and TKTL2 gene between the CNE cells transfected with siRNA TKTL1 construct and the cells transfected with control vector or untransfected CNE cells was observed (P>0.05). However, the expression level of TKTL1 gene was significantly downregulated in the CNE cells transfected with siRNA TKTL1 construct compared with the cells transfected with control vector.Cancer cells were arrested in G0/G1 phase, and cancer cell proliferation was significantly inhibited in the CNE cells transfected with siRNA TKTL1 construct. CONCLUSION: TKTL1 plays an important role in the total transketolase activity and cell proliferation of human nasopharyngeal carcinoma. TKTL1 may be considered as a potential target for novel anti-cancer therapy.     

Nontypeable haemophilus influenzae induces IL-8 expression in alveolar epithelial cells in a p38 MAPK and NF-κB dependent manner

AIM:To investigate the key molecular mechanism of inflammatory response in alveolar epithelial cells induced by nontypeable haemophilus influenzae (NTHi). METHODS: A549 cells were co-cultured with NTHi (multiplicity of infection, MOI: 10) and harvested 15 min and 30 min after stimulation. The phosphorylation of p38 mitogen activated protein kinase (p38 MAPK) in A549 cells was detected by Western blotting. The intracellular expression of nuclear factor-κB (NF-κB) p65 was examined by flow cytometry 4 h after stimulation. A549 cells were preincubated with p38 inhibitor (SB203580) or NF-κB inhibitor (PDTC) for 1 h and then stimulated with NTHi for 24 h. The level of interleukin 8 (IL-8) in the supernatants was determined by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA). RESULTS: The phosphorylation of p38 MAPK was rapidly induced by NTHi stimulation. The expression of NF-κB p65 in A549 cells after NTHi stimulation was significantly up-regulated compared with control group (P<0.05). The level of IL-8 in the supernatants was increased 24 h after bacterial stimulation compared with control group (P<0.05). Blockage of p38 MAPK or NF-κB remarkably decreased IL-8 secretion in A549 cells (P<0.05). CONCLUSION:NTHi induces inflammatory response in alveolar epithelial cells in a p38 MAPK and NF-κB dependent manner.
