栉孔扇贝神经节一氧化氮合酶的组织化学和免疫组化定位

采用组织化学和免疫组化技术对栉孔扇贝(Chlamys farreri)神经节内的一氧化氮合酶(NOS)进行定位研究。组织化学显示,存在NOS的部位如下：脑神经节内纵行的神经纤维和表层的少量小细胞;足神经节表层的大量小细胞,中央大量水平分布的神经纤维;脏神经节中部大量水平分布的神经纤维,前叶内大量小细胞和神经纤维,后叶内少量小细胞和许多环行神经纤维,侧叶内大量似放射状分布的神经纤维;脑足和脑脏神经索内的神经纤维。免疫组化定位表明,神经型一氧化氮合酶(nNOS)和诱导型一氧化氮合酶(iNOS)在整个神经系统内均呈阴性;足神经节和脏神经节内有少量神经细胞呈内皮型一氧化氮合酶(eNOS)强阳性;各神经节和神经索内的部分小细胞和神经纤维呈eNOS弱阳性。栉孔扇贝进化上为较低等的贝类,NOS阳性神经细胞应主要分布于外周器官组织内。神经系统内大量的NOS可在其神经传导和免疫调节等方面发挥重要的作用。     

Histological and histochemical changes in the digestive tract of white sturgeon larvae during ontogeny

Ontogenetic changes in digestive tract histology and digestive enzyme histochemistry were investigated 11 to 36 days post-hatch in white sturgeon Acipenser transmontanus larvae. From initiation of exogenous feeding (12 days post-hatch), larvae were fed a commercial salmonid diet for the ensuing 24 days. The digestive system of white sturgeon displayed a high degree of morphologic organization and functionality at the onset of exogenous feeding. An enhancement of digestive capacities occurred with transition to active feeding. On day 2 of feeding, there was a clear increase of alkaline phosphatase, aminopeptidase M, dipeptidyl peptidase IV, and -glutamyl transpeptidase activity in the brush border of the spiral intestine. This strong activity is an apparent confirmation of the importance of this segment of the intestine for protein digestion and nutrient absorption. The functional development of the pyloric intestine occurred on day 4 and was concomitant with an increase in the activity of brush border and cytoplasmic enzymes such as acetylcholinesterase, dipeptidyl peptidase II, - and -galactosidases. The absence of acetylcholinesterase, lactase, nonspecific esterase, and weak activity of exopeptidases and alkaline phosphatase in the anterior intestine suggests that this segment of the intestine may be less important in nutrient absorption than the pyloric and spiral intestines. The observed quantitative and qualitative differences in enzyme activity along the intestine indicate a high degree of specialization of each segment for specific digestive and absorptive processes.     

栉孔扇贝对铜、铅、镉的累积效应

试验结果表明:当常规理化指标一致时,随着Cu、Pb、Cd质量浓度的升高,栉孔扇贝各组织的蓄积量明显升高;Cu、Cd在扇贝组织中蓄积量是内脏团>鳃>肌肉,Pb在扇贝组织中的蓄积量是鳃>内脏团>肌肉;当Cu、Pb、Cd质量浓度(0.1 mg/L)相同时,其鳃、内脏团、肌肉中重金属蓄积量的上升速率是Cu>Cd>Pb。     

栉孔扇贝血淋巴中酯酶活性及其性质

采用紫外分光光度法测定栉孔扇贝（Chlamysfarreri）血淋巴中酯酶的活性，并研究底物、抑制剂、激活剂、温度、pH对酯酶活力的影响及酶的热稳定性。结果表明，栉孔扇贝血清与血细胞中均存在酯酶，且血细胞中的酶活力高于血清。血清与血细胞中酯酶的最适作用底物有所不同，血清中为α-醋酸萘酯，而血细胞中为α-丁酸萘酯。当以α-醋酸萘酯为底物时，血清中酯酶的最适温度为45℃，最适pH值为7．5；以α-丁酸萘酯为底物时，血清中酯酶的最适温度为40℃，最适pH值为8．0。以α-醋酸萘酯及α-丁酸萘酯为底物分别测定酶的热稳定时，酶活力变化相似，在20℃时活力最高，而后缓慢下降。栉孔扇贝血淋巴中酯酶属中温型中性酶类，低温下较稳定，底物专一性不强，血清中的酯酶可能来自血细胞，该酶在贝类的免疫防御中町发挥重要的作用。     

紫外辐射对栉孔扇贝精子遗传失活及形态结构的影响

报道了紫外辐射对栉孔扇贝精子遗传失活及形态结构的影响。采用光照强度为800μW/cm2·s的紫外线辐射40～50s的栉孔扇贝精子,与正常的卵子受精可以得到雌核发育的单倍体胚胎。随着辐射时间的增加,受精率明显下降,且受精卵极少发育到D形幼虫。扫描电镜观察发现,辐射后部分精子的顶体膜破裂,顶体丝伸出,辐射时间越长顶体受到的破坏越严重,证明紫外辐射可以诱导精子的顶体反应;精子的鞭毛在紫外辐射过程中也会受到破坏,随着辐射时间的增加鞭毛脱落的比例也逐渐增加。推测紫外辐射导致精子结构的破坏是受精率下降的原因之一。     

诱导栉孔扇贝雌核发育时精子入卵的扫描电镜观察

取栉孔扇贝 (Chlamysfarreri)精子在 80 0 μW/(cm2 ·s)的紫外线下辐射 ,然后与正常卵子受精 ,每隔 0 .5min取“受精卵”固定。在扫描电镜下连续观察精子的入卵过程 ,然后与正常精子的入卵过程进行比较。结果表明 ,紫外辐射后的精子可以划分为 3种类型 :I类精子 ,基本无明显变化 ,可以激发卵黄膜举起形成受精膜 ,同时诱发卵子发生皮层反应 ,在受精锥的作用下正常入卵 ,但入卵的时间较正常精子晚 ;II类精子 ,顶体膜破裂 ,顶体丝伸出 ;III类精子 ,顶体丝伸出 ,鞭毛脱落。由于II、III类精子在紫外辐射条件下诱发了顶体反应 ,融解卵膜的酶提前释放 ,因而不能入卵。精子鞭毛的脱落 ,使精子丧失了运动能力 ,是导致卵表面附着的精子数量较少的原因之一。无论是正常精子还是辐射后的精子 ,入卵后在卵表面都留下一个类似受精孔的通道。实验组中未发现有多精入卵现象     

Dietary lipid level affects fatty acid composition and hydrolase activities of intestinal brush border membrane in seabass

Triplicate groups of juvenile seabass (initial weight of 241 g) were fed during 13 weeks three isonitrogenous experimental diets containing different lipid levels, 12% (LL group), 21% (ML group) and 30% (HL group). At the end of the experiment, fish weight gain was similar among the 3 dietary groups. Intestinal brush border membranes were purified for each dietary group; one part of the brush border fraction was dedicated to enzyme assays, the remaining fraction being used for lipid extraction followed by fatty acid analysis. The fatty acid composition of the brush border membrane differed among the 3 groups, although the 3 experimental diets had the same fatty acid composition. The increase in dietary lipid level resulted in a lowering in (n-3) polyunsaturated fatty acid (PUFA) paralleled with an increase in monounsaturated fatty acid. A significant reduction in the brush border enzyme activities, namely alkaline phosphatase, aminopeptidase N, -glutamyl transpeptidase and maltase, was also observed with the elevation of the dietary lipid level. The change in activity of intestinal digestive enzymes, which are membrane-bound proteins, could be attributed to the modification of fatty acid composition and fluidity of the brush border membranes (BBM). Such lowering in PUFA and increase in monounsaturated fatty acid in BBM, concomitant with a decline in membrane enzymatic activity, has been described as a malnutrition indicator in mammals. It raises the question of possible disorders of gut functions in fish fed increasing lipid levels.     

扇贝多肽对氧化所致胸腺细胞凋亡的影响

观察扇贝多肽(Polypeptide from Chlamys ferreri)(PCF)对实验性氧化所致小鼠胸腺细胞凋亡的影响。采用台盼蓝(Trypan Blue)活细胞拒染法在普通光学显微镜下观察细胞的存活率；以四甲基氮唑盐(MTT)法测定细胞的增殖活性；以生化检测(DNA ladder)法观察PCF对细胞DNA片断化的影响；用透射电镜观察细胞的超微形态结构变化。台盼蓝染色法证实PCF能增强细胞的活性并与PCF浓度成正比；MTT法表明PCF不仅能保护细胞免受损伤，而且还能促进细胞的增殖，并有PCF依赖性；生化检测显示PCF能减少细胞凋亡的DNA片断化数目；细胞的超微结构还表明PCF能维持细胞结构的完整性。PCF可明显抑制实验性氧化损伤小鼠胸腺细胞的凋亡并有药物依赖性，而且明显优于维生素C。     

栉孔扇贝×虾夷扇贝单对杂交子一代幼虫ISSR标记的分离方式

通过对栉孔扇贝Chlamys farreri×虾夷扇贝Patinopecten yessoensis正反单对杂交子一代幼虫进行ISSR(Inter Simple Sequence Repeats)标记,分析了双亲位点在杂交子一代中的传递分离方式。从20个ISSR引物中筛选出引物807和834进行扩增,正交家系和反交家系均统计了70条清晰稳定的扩增带。正交家系中双亲和F_1共有位点占总位点数的38.6%,仅由母本或父本传递给F_1的位点分别占总位点数的27.1%和21.4%。反交家系中双亲和F_1共有位点占总位点数的34.3%,仅由母本或父本传递给F_1的位点分别占总位点数的25.7%和22.9%,表明双亲的遗传物质皆传递给了F_1代,证实属间杂交成功。实验结果表明,两家系中F_1均偏向各自的母本。另外,在F_1中还出现了较高比例的非孟德尔分离位点和非亲位点。
