CYP450 epoxygenase/EET pathway attenuates adipose inflammation of obese mice through HIF-1α

AIM To investigate the effects of cytochrome P450 （CYP450） epoxygenase/epoxyeicosatrienoic acid （EET） pathway on insulin resistance in obese mice， and to explore the possible mechanisms. METHODS High-fat diet-induced obesity model was established in C57BL/6Cnc mice， and the obese mice were randomly divided into 3 groups， including obesity group （treated with saline； n=10）， EET group （treated with 11，12-EET； n=10） and EET inhibitor 14，15-epoxyeicosa-5（Z）-enoic acid （EEZE） group （n=10）. Normal C57BL/6Cnc mice （n=10） treated with saline served as control. Protein expression of CYP2J2 （one of CYP450 epoxygenases） and hypoxia-inducible factor-1α （HIF-1α） was measured by Western blot. Vessel-like structure was detected by immunofluorescence staining. The serum levels of insulin， tumor necrosis factor-α （TNF-α）， interleukin （IL）-1β， IL-6 and monocyte chemoattractant protein-1 （MCP-1） were measured by ELISA. RESULTS In obese mice， homeostasis model assessment of insulin resistance （HOMA-IR） values were increased， the protein level of CYP2J2 was reduced， and the protein level of HIF-1α was increased in adipose tissues as compared with the controls （P<0.05）. The serum levels of MCP-1， IL-1β， IL-6 and TNF-α were also significantly increased in obese mice （P<0.05）. After treatment with 11， 12-EET， the HOMA-IR values were decreased compared with vehicle-treated obese mice， HIF-1α expression levels were decreased in the adipose tissue， and the serum levels of MCP-1， IL-1β， IL-6 and TNF-α were reduced （P<0.05）. Immunohistochemical results of adipose tissue from vehicle-treated obese mice showed a marked decrease in vessel-like structures （CD31-positive） compared with normal control mice （P<0.05）. EET treatment significantly increased the newly formed vessel-like structures in the visceral adipose tissues of obese mice as compared with vehicle-treated obese mice （P<0.05）. CONCLUSION High-fat diet-induced obesity and insulin resistance are closely related to the CYP450 pathway. Exogenous EETs effectively decrease obesity-induced insulin resistance possibly through pro-angiogenesis and attenuation of hypoxia and inflammation.

稻瘟病菌浅黄色素突变体对稻株诱导抗性的探讨（英文）

经用紫外光诱变菲律宾的一个具有广谱毒性的菌株PO6-6中获得2个浅黄色素突变株A和B以及从浙江省分离的弱致病性菌株C,在25/16℃、RH70%的人工气候箱内,先在4个感病品种上接种48小时后再接种强致病性菌株D和E,浅黄色素突变株和弱菌株对强菌株在水稻感病植株上呈现出交叉保护现象。6批重复试验一致表明,浅黄色素突变株和弱致病性菌株均可明显地诱导水稻植株对稻瘟病的抗病性。本文并就利用稻瘟病菌的交叉保护作用,为开辟防治新途径进行了讨论。     

绵阳系小麦抗条锈性变异的系统调查

 绵阳系小麦是我国重要的抗条锈育种资源,近10年来的田间调查和变异观察圃试验结果表明,绵阳系小麦已经开始丧失成株抗条锈性。田间标样中分离出两类能侵染绵阳系小麦成株的重要致病类群。新的毒性菌系与条中29号相比,毒性谱更宽,致病范围更广,它们是引起绵阳系小麦丧失抗病性的主要原因。新的毒性菌系的出现和发展及绵阳系小麦抗条锈性的丧失,将对我国小麦生产产生重要影响,建议加强绵阳系小麦抗条锈变异的系统监测及控制对策研究。

强化木地板耐磨性能及国产化耐磨纸的研究

对强化木地板的耐磨性能和国产化耐磨纸进行了研究,重点考察耐磨纸的生产方式和热压工艺过程对产品耐磨转数和磨耗量的影响。结果表明Al2O3添加量和添加方式对产品的耐磨性能有很大影响,新研制的B型耐磨纸和进口耐磨纸有相似的磨损曲线,其耐磨转数与Al2O3添加量之间呈线性正相关,耐磨转数的增加主要表现在延长第二磨损区域,即提高初始磨损的IP值。热压工艺过程与产品的耐磨性能之间无明确关系。     

披碱草和野大麦及其杂种苗期抗旱性研究

在室内人工模拟干旱条件,测定了干旱胁迫下披碱草和野大麦及其杂种幼苗的相对含水量、细胞膜透性、游离脯氨酸含量的变化.结果表明,干旱胁迫下亲本披碱草幼苗的组织相对含水量下降的幅度最低,细胞膜受害最轻,游离脯氨酸积累的最多,相对生长率最高,表现出很强的抗旱性.亲本野大麦幼苗的组织相对含水量下降的幅度最大,细胞膜受害最重,游离脯氨酸积累的最少,相对生长率最低,抗旱性弱.杂种F1幼苗的保水能力、细胞膜受害程度和游离脯氨酸积累能力、相对生长率均介于双亲之间,亦即其抗旱能力大于野大麦而小于披碱草,表现为双亲的中间型.正、反交对杂种F1的抗旱能力没有明显影响.     

Assessment of criteria for improvement in Theileria orientalis sergenti infection tolerance

We examined the relationships between calf productivity, anemia and Theileria orientalis sergenti infection from records of 109 Japanese shorthorn calves during a grazing period and we quantified the relative importance of the T. orientalis sergenti infection‐resistance criteria used. A decrease in average parasitemia (AvePara) and an increase in average packed cell volume (AvePCV) would cause a decrease in the number of drug treatments. An increase in AvePCV would decrease the number of drug treatments more efficiently than a decrease in AvePara. An increase in AvePCV would cause an increase in dairy gain, while a decrease in AvePara would cause a decrease in dairy gain. Therefore, an improvement in the capacity to control anemia development would improve T. orientalis sergenti infection resistance more efficiently than an improvement in the capacity to control parasitemia development.
