Effects of STK15 overexpression on growth of human esophageal carcinoma cell line KYSE150

AIM:To investigate the effects of serine/threonine kinase 15 (STK15) overexpression on the growth of human esophageal squamous-cell carcinoma (ESCC) cell line KYSE150. METHODS:Recombinant pEGFP-C1-STK15 expression vector was transfected into KYSE150 cells using LipofectamineTM 2000 and the expression of STK15 was detected by fluorescence microscopy and Western blotting. The proliferation of the cells in vitro was measured by MTT assay. The cell cycle distribution and apoptosis were detected by flow cytometry. The proliferation of the cells in vivo was measured by tumorigenicity experiment in nude mice. RESULTS:After recombinant pEGFP-C1-STK15 expression vector was stably transfected into KYSE150 cells, GFP-STK15 fusion protein localized to centrosome and spindle. The STK15-overexpressing colonies were further confirmed by Western blotting. MTT assay showed that the proliferation of the cells in STK15 overexpression group was increased compared with control group (P<0.01). Flow cytometry analysis showed that the percentage of the cells in G0/G1 phase and the cell apoptosis in STK15 overexpression group were decreased compared with control group (P<0.01). The tumorigenicity experiment in nude mice showed that the proliferation of the cells in STK15 overexpression group was increased compared with control group (P<0.01). CONCLUSION: Overexpression of STK15 in human ESCC KYSE150 cells promotes the cell growth in vitro and in vivo, indicating that STK15 may serve as a novel therapeutic target for esophageal carcinoma.     

降水、灌溉和品种对玉米产量和水分利用效率的影响

8年田间试验结果表明,玉米产量明显受降水和灌溉的影响。玉米苗期灌溉最为关键,是保证高产的基础。在只灌溉苗水而没有其他灌溉条件下,夏玉米产量与7、8月份降水密切相关,而与生长季节的降水总量关系不明显。除了极干旱年份(季节降雨量小于200 mm)外,随着灌溉量增加,玉米水分利用效率(WUE)降低。玉米最优灌溉制度为:干旱年份,除了苗期的1次灌溉外,在拔节和扬花期分别实施2次灌溉;常年和湿润年份,除了出苗水外,在抽穗到扬花期的8月初实施1次灌溉。3年的田间试验结果表明,当地种植的不同玉米品种之间产量最大相差20%,水分利用效率差异在12%~19%。因此,将适宜的品种与优化的灌溉制度相结合,是提高华北平原夏玉米产量和水分利用效率的有效途径。     

棉花铃重AFLP标记的初步研究

本文以陆地棉铃重近等基因系为材料(大铃≥5.4g,小铃≤1.7g),构建大小铃两个近等基因池.利用AFLP标记技术对两基因池进行分析,64对引物组合共产生3840条稳定、清晰扩增带.五条扩增带在两基因池间呈现多态性,其中四条差异带出现在大铃基因池,编号分别为LB-1、LB-2、LB-3和LB-4;一条出现在小铃基因池,编号为SB-1.模板浓度梯度分析表明,在一定范围内,酶切模板浓度对AFLP结果影响较小.利用稍作修改的CTAB法提取的棉花DNA可用于AFLP分析.

Change of reactive oxygen species production in co-culture model of rat astrocytes and motor neurons VSC 4.1

AIM: To explore the mutual effect of co-culture of wild-type astrocytes (ASC) and motor neurons VSC4.1 (VSC) on the respective ability to produce reactive oxygen species (ROS). METHODS: The inhibition rates of cell growth in ASC and VSC in co-culture or independent culture was detected after exposed to excitatory stimulus by MTT method. Real-time observation of ROS production by ASC and VSC labeled with Hoechst 33342 was detected by confocal microscopy under the conditions of co-culture or independent culture. RESULTS: Higher concentration of glutamate induced a higher inhibition rate in mixed cell growth than that in ASC alone, while lower concentration of glutamate induced a higher inhibition rate in mixed cell growth than that in VSC only. Real-time observation by confocal microscopy showed that ROS production by VSC under the condition of co-culture, which showed a notable increase at 15 min, was significant less than that in independent culture, which peaked at 5 min and was gradually decreased. ROS production by ASC in co-culture began to increase significantly at 10 min. CONCLUSION: Compared to independent culture, ASC reduces the resting ROS production by co-cultured with VSC, while ASC prolongs the duration of ROS production by VSC after exposed to excitatory stimulus.     

Effects of diabetes on the development of heart failure in streptozotocin-induced diabetic rat model with acute myocardial infarction

AIM: To evaluate the time course and effect of diabetes on the development of heart failure (HF) in poorly controlled streptozotocin (STZ) -induced diabetic rat model for 70 d with acute myocardial infarction (AMI) in vivo. METHODS: All SD rats were randomized into four groups. Diabetes were induced by a single intraperitoneal injection of STZ (65 mg/kg), and 70 d later after the induction, AMI models were made with the ligation of left anterior descending coronary artery. The time course of diabetic effects on the development of heart failure in rats before and after AMI was observed. The survival rate of the rats and ultrastructure change of myocardium, the hemodynamics, the extent of the myocardial fibrosis, and the cardiac hypertrophy were also determined. RESULTS: After the ligation of left anterior descending coronary artery, the diabetic rats showed worse LV function and accelerated left ventricular (LV) remodeling compared with the non-diabetic ones. Myocardial fibrosis in both diabetic and non-diabetic rats subjected to AMI was similar in the early phase, while it was quite different after 1 month. CONCLUSION: Heart failure progression is accelerated in diabetic rat with AMI.
