水稻半外卷叶突变体sol1的表型分析与基因定位

适度卷曲有利于提高水稻叶片的光合效率,增加植株光合产物的有效积累量。我们利用甲基磺酸乙酯(EMS)处理籼型水稻保持系西农1B,获得一个稳定遗传的水稻半外卷叶突变体。该突变体从十叶期开始各叶片逐渐向外卷曲直至半卷状,并伴随茎秆半矮化和叶片披垂,暂被命名为semi-outcurved leaf 1(sol1)。与野生型(WT)相比,sol1的叶片卷曲指数均达到30%以上(P<0.01);倒一、倒二、倒三、倒四节节间长度和穗长极显著缩短,倒一、倒二、倒三叶的叶夹角显著或极显著增加;有效穗数、千粒重、每穗实粒数、结实率显著或极显著下降,一次枝梗数则增加11.3%(P<0.05)。sol1的蒸腾速率、胞间CO2浓度、气孔导度显著高于野生型。石蜡切片显示,sol1倒一叶的泡状细胞体积变小,数量显著增多,表皮细胞体积略微增大。遗传分析表明,sol1的半外卷叶性状受1对隐性核基因调控,定位于6号染色体标记JY6-3和JY6-10之间165 kb的物理范围内,共含15个注释基因。qRT-PCR结果表明,与泡状细胞相关的内卷基因和外卷叶基因RL14、Roc5、REL1在突变体sol1中呈不同程度的上调,NRL、BRD1、OsHox32、ADL1、LC2则呈不同程度的下调。研究结果为SOL1基因的克隆和功能研究奠定了基础。     

体细胞克隆荷斯坦奶牛出生后死亡犊牛内脏器官的组织病理学观察

为探究体细胞克隆荷斯坦奶牛出生后死亡的原因,对新生后死亡的克隆荷斯坦公牛和自然繁殖的荷斯坦公犊的主要组织器官进行比较。通过解剖和石蜡切片-HE(hematoxylin-eosin staining)染色技术,对主要的组织器官结构进行观察和分析。结果表明,新生后死亡的克隆荷斯坦公牛肺部结构清晰;肝脏的肝细胞明显肿大,出现脂肪轻度变性;肾小管上皮细胞出现变性;心肌的肌纤维间空隙增大;骨骼肌纤维间隙明显,空泡变性,这可能导致该克隆牛犊肌肉无力并功能不全;淋巴结皮髓质界限不分明,淋巴小结细胞较稀疏,生发中心不明显,淋巴窦细胞较少;脾脏内红细胞较少,这说明该克隆牛的造血功能可能不完善;胸腺的皮质部分和髓质部分界限不明显,嗜酸性胸腺小体不易辨认,可能发育不全。该克隆公牛免疫器官出现不同程度的发育不全现象较严重,这有可能是其出生后死亡率高的主要原因。     

miR-140-3p inhibits viability,invasion and migration of non-small-cell lung cancer A549 cells by targeting PD-L1

AIM: To explore the target relationship between microRNA-140-3p (miR-140-3p) and programmed cell death ligand 1 (PD-L1) and their effect on the viability, migration and invasion of non-small-cell lung cancer A549 cells.METHODS: RT-qPCR was used to detect the miR-140-3p expression in HLF-1, A549 and H1299 cells, and then the A549 cells with the most significant difference were selected as the subsequent research object. TargetScan software and dual-luciferase reporter assay were performed to predict and confirm the target relationship between miR-140-3p and PD-L1. RT-qPCR and Western blot were used to determine the effects of miR-140-3p mimic and inhibitor on PD-L1 expression level. MTT assay was used to detect the viability of A549 cells. Transwell assay was performed to detect the migration and invasion abilities of the A549 cells.RESULTS: miR-140-3p was significantly down-regulated in the A549 cells and H1299 cells (P<0.05). Transfection with miR-140-3p mimic decreased the expression of PD-L1 and inhibited the viability, migration and invasion of the A549 cells. Transfection with pcDNA3.0-PD-L1 reversed the inhibitory effect of miR-140-3p on the viability, migration and invasion of the A549 cells.CONCLUSION: miR-140-3p inhibits the viability, migration and invasion of A549 cells by targeting PD-L1.     

Sequence Analysis and Prokaryotic Expression of NSP1 Gene of Bovine Rotavirus UK Strain

Rotavirus is a major cause of acute diarrhea in both many kinds of young animals and children under 5 years old.Rotavirus NSP1, a 55 ku RNA binding protein, is the product of gene 5, which can subvert innate immune responses and be one of virulent determinant factors.According to the sequence in GenBank, specific primers targeting to NSP1 gene were designed and the gene was amplified by RT-PCR, following by being cloned into the pET-28a(+) vector.It showed that the full length of NSP1 gene was 1 473 bp, encoding 491 amino acids.The NSP1 shared the highest identity with WC3 strain.The recombinant protein was induced in E.coli Rosetta(DE3) by IPTG and was analyzed by SDS-PAGE and Western blotting.The results revealed that NSP1 recombinant protein existed in the form of inclusion body with the molecular weight of 55 ku.The purified recombinant protein could be recognized by His-tag antibody.This study laid the foundation for further research on the relationship between the intracytoplasmic location of NSP1 protein and its activity.

Research on the Antioxident Function of Sulforaphane on the Leydig Cells of Cadmium Exposured Mice

The study was aimed to explore the antioxident function of sulforaphane (SFN) on the leydig cells of cadmium (Cd) exposured mice.Cd and SFN were added to the cell culture medium of TM3 cell, half inhibitory concentration (IC₅₀) of Cd and SFN safe dose range were determined.The tested model was set up,and the relative survival rate of TM3 cells, lactate dehydrogenase (LDH) activity and cell antioxidant levels were determined to study the antioxident function of SFN to cadmium exposured mice.The results showed that:①With the increase of Cd concentration,the relative survival rate of TM3 cells was decreased,and the IC₅₀ of Cd was 51.4 μmol/L;Within a certain concentration range,SFN could increased the cells survive rate,but there was toxicity when the SFN concentration was more than the scope,and the greater the concentration,the greater the toxicity. At experimental condition,SFN safety concentration were 2.5,5 and 10 μmol/L.②Compared with the control group,the GSH content,the T-SOD and GSH-Px activities in Cd group were significantly or extremely significantly decreased (P < 0.05;P < 0.01),and the LDH activity,the MDA content were increased.Additionally,the LDH activity and MDA content of SFN groups were decreased,while others three indexes were increased. Compared with Cd group,the GSH content,the T-SOD and GSH-Px activities of Cd+SFN groups were significantly or extremely significantly increased (P < 0.05;P < 0.01),however,the LDH activity,MDA content were decreased. The result indicated that SFN had the antagonism effect on toxicity of Cd in TM3 cell.

牛羊胎盘免疫调节因子的提取及对PANC-Ⅰ增殖和迁移影响的比较

胎盘免疫调节因子(placenta immunoregulating factor,PF)是从胎盘提取的小分子多肽,对病毒性疾病、免疫缺陷疾病及恶性肿瘤等具有潜在的临床应用价值.为检测牛(Bos taurus)和绵羊(Ovis aries)胎盘免疫调节因对人(Homo sapiens)胰腺癌细胞(pancreatic cancer cells-Ⅰ,PANC-Ⅰ)增殖与迁移的影响,本研究对从屠宰场获得的牛和绵羊胎盘进行分离,利用双酶水解法制备PF,将质量浓度为100～2 000 ng/mL的牛、羊PF作用于体外培养的PANC-Ⅰ细胞,以3-(4,5-二甲基噻唑-2-基)-5-(3-羧甲酯基)-2-(4-磺苯基)-2H-四唑(3-(4,5-dimethylthiazol-2-yl)-5-(3-carboxymethoxyphenyl)-2-(4-sulfophenyl)-2H-tetrazolium,MTS)法观察细胞增殖抑制率,应用流式细胞技术检测其对PANC-Ⅰ细胞周期的影响.并利用Transwell迁移实验检测添加PF对PANC-Ⅰ细胞迁移能力的影响,同时通过实时荧光定量PCR法检测肿瘤抑制基因(tumor suppressor gene,PS3)和细胞周期依赖性蛋白激酶抑制因子1A基因(cyclin-dependent kinaseinhibitor 1A,P21)的表达情况.结果显示,17.11 g绵羊胎盘制得0.588 mg PF,6.61 g牛胎盘制得0.312 mgPF,胎盘质量与所得PF的质量比约为20 000∶1.在体外培养的PANC-Ⅰ细胞培养液中添加PF,从形态上观察,牛羊PF对PANC-Ⅰ细胞没有明显的影响.绵羊PF处理后PANC-Ⅰ细胞增殖抑制率为9.75％～22.89％,牛PF处理后PANC-Ⅰ细胞增殖抑制率为-3.81％～23.56％,增殖抑制率最显著的绵羊PF浓度为500 ng/mL,牛PF浓度为1 000 ng/mL.绵羊PF在浓度为500 ng/mL时,PANC-Ⅰ细胞的PI和SPF最低,而牛PF各浓度下的胰腺癌细胞增殖指数(proliferation index,PI)和增殖活性(S-phase fraction,SPF)没有明显的变化.同时,牛羊PF对PANC-Ⅰ细胞的迁移能力无显著影响.牛羊PF使PANC-Ⅰ细胞P53表达上调而P21表达下调.上述结果表明,在一定浓度下,PF对体外培养的PANC-Ⅰ细胞增殖有负调控作用,且牛羊胎盘免疫调节因子对胰腺癌细胞的影响不同,可能因为其存在的活性成分有区别.本研究为胰腺癌的治疗提供了新的思路.
