OS-诱抗剂诱导植物抗病性的作用探讨

用PDA培养基平板法测定了0.4%OS-诱抗剂水剂对水稻纹枯病菌、小麦纹枯病菌、油菜菌核病菌、辣椒立枯病菌、瓜类绵腐病菌、黄瓜枯萎病菌的生物活性,其EC₅₀值分别为34.56、59.33、33.17、85.92、91.91、122.87μg/mL,OS-诱抗剂对水稻纹枯病、油菜菌核病较好。高效液相色谱分析表明,经OS-诱抗剂处理后的植物提取液中酚类物质的种类和含量相对于对照有明显的变化,说明OS-诱抗剂对植物的防病作用可能是促使植物体内产生了酚类抗病物质。

新城疫病毒F48E9感染CEF细胞特异性表达基因的筛选鉴定

分别以NDV F48E9和La Sota株感染鸡胚成纤维细胞,于感染后8 h提取NDV感染CEF细胞总RNA,通过mRNA差异显示技术筛选病毒感染诱导表达的特异性基因.主要方法是先以锚定引物经反转录后,然后以9～10 bp随机引物为上游引物,以锚定引物Oligod(T)18为下游引物,进行PCR扩增,PCR产物采用8%的尿素变性PAGE胶电泳进行分离鉴定.对于特征性差异带进行第二次PCR扩增,克隆后测定其核苷酸序列.结果我们发现数个差异条带,选取差异带在500 bp以内的条带,经测序后显示经NDV F48E9感染后,有一条差异条带特异性表达的基因所编码的蛋白与Receptor(TNFRSF)-interacting serine-threonine kinase 2有47 %同源,是一个新基因,其蛋白功能不明确,有可能和细胞的凋亡有关.

Effects of gastrin on expression of cyclooxygenase and growth factors in rat gastric mucosa

AIM: To clarify the effects of gastrin on the expression of cyclooxygenase (COX) and several growth factors in rat gastric mucosa. METHODS: Male Sprague Dawley rats were fasted for 24 hours and subcutaneously injected with saline or gastrin 17 at doses of 1 μg/kg, 10 μg/kg and 100 μg/kg, respectively. The expression of COX-1, COX-2, heparin-binding epidermal growth factor-like growth factor (HB-EGF) and hepatocyte growth factor (HGF) in the gastric mucosa were examined using Western blotting and immunohistochemical staining. Effects of a potent gastrin receptor antagonist YM022 on the expression of COX-1, COX-2, HB-EGF and HGF in gastric mucosa were also evaluated. RESULTS: Gastrin dose-dependently increased the expression of COX-2 and HB-EGF in rat gastric mucosa while the expression of COX-1 and HGF did not change significantly after treatment with gastrin. However, pretreatment with YM022 dose-dependently abolished the up-regulation of COX-2 and HB-EGF expression induced by gastrin. CONCLUSIONS: This study demonstrates that gastrin up-regulates COX-2 and HB-EGF expression in rat gastric mucosa, indicating that COX-2 and HB-EGF are involved in pathogenesis of the gastrin-related gastric mucosal hyperplasia and carcinoma of stomach.     

Overexpression of neuronal ARNT2 is involved in neuronal apoptosis evoked by low K+

AIM: To observe the expression of neuronal Aryl hydrocarbon receptor nuclear translocator 2 (ARNT2) involved in neuronal apoptosis evoked by low K+ and to investigate the relationship between ARNT2 and neuronal apoptosis. METHODS: After neuron apoptosis model was established, the changes of mRNA and protein of ARNT2 during apoptosis were investigated by RT-PCR and Western blotting, respectively. Immunofluorescence was analyzed by confocal microscopy to probe the subcellular localization of ARNT2. RESULTS: Induced by low K+, the expression of ARNT2 mRNA was up-regulated obviously at the point of 30 min, and peaks at the point of 1 h. This up-regulated expression lasted for 12 h, and the variation of ARNT2 protein was similar to that of mRNA. The results of immunofluorescence analyzed by confocal microscopy showed that the localization of ARNT2 protein was in the nucleus. CONCLUSION: ARNT2 locate in nuclei of normal cerebellar granule neurons of rat. During the process of apoptosis evoked by low K+, both mRNA and protein of ARNT2 are overexpressed.     

The value of intrapericardial injection with a trans-diaphragmatic approach in the gene therapy of chronic heart failure rats

AIM: To study the feasibility, security and validity of the intrapericardial injection with a trans-diaphragmatic approach in chronic heart failure rats and its value in the study of gene therapy for heart diseases, and further investigate whether adeno-associated virual gene transfer of sarcoplasmic reticulum Ca2+-ATPase （SERCA2a） gene can improve ventricular function in chronic heart failure (HF) rats. METHODS: An animal model of heart failure was obtained by creating descending aortic constriction in rats. Recombinant adeno-associated virus, carrying enhanced green fluorescent protein (EGFP) gene and recombinant adeno-associated virus carrying SERCA2a gene, were respectively injected into pericardium of heart failure rats in different groups (group HF+EGFP and group HF+SERCA2a) by intrapericardial injection with a trans-diaphragmatic approach. After 30 days, hemodynamic parameters were measured and analyzed. Cryosection was analyzed by fluorescence microscopy to examine the expression of green fluorescent protein, and Western blotting was performed to detect the expression of SERCA2a. RESULTS: Green fluorescence was detected in cryosection of the hearts in all rats in group HF+EGFP and the expression of green fluorescent protein was ubiquitously. The expression of SERCA2a in all rats in group HF+SERCA2a was more than those in group HF and group HF+EGFP. And overexpression of SERCA2a improved the systolic and diastolic function of heart failure rats significantly and the hemodynamic parameters were similar with those of the controls. CONCLUSION: The intrapericardial injection with a trans-diaphragmatic approach suggests a simple, safe, efficient and cheap technique for the gene therapy of chronic heart failure. Gene thransfer of SERCA2a may be a new approach for the treatment of chronic heart failure.
