不同基因型大豆冠层冷温现象的研究

为了解不同基因型大豆冠层冷温现象,应用红外测温仪对大豆冠层温度进行了长期观测,并测定了大豆生育期的蒸腾速率和净光合速率,以及大豆主茎功能叶片的可溶性蛋白质、丙二醛含量。结果表明,不同基因型大豆品种冠层温度存在着明显的分异现象,其中NF58与秦豆8号(对照)的冠层温差最高值为-1.47℃,最低值为-0.02℃,均低于基准线(0℃线,下同),为冷型大豆;94101与秦豆8号(对照)的冠层温差最高值为1.48℃,最低值为0.02℃,均高于基准线,属暖型大豆,且冷型大豆NF58具有较强的生理活性,表现在叶片功能期较长,蒸腾速率和净光合速率较高,蛋白质含量较高,丙二醛(MDA)含量较低,说明在大豆品种选育中以冷温材料为亲本或在育种中以冷温作为目标性状之一值得重视。

蛋白质与淀粉对挂面和方便面品质及微观结构的影响

以小麦淀粉、小麦活性面筋粉和标准面粉为原料 ,通过控制各原料比例的方法 ,结合扫描电子显微镜技术 ,观察与分析了不同淀粉与蛋白质含量的混合粉在制作面条和方便面过程中微观结构、加工特性及食用品质的变化情况。结果表明 ,蛋白质和淀粉含量对面条和方便面的品质都有重要影响 ,相对而言 ,蛋白质的作用大于淀粉。只有蛋白质和淀粉间比例及其在面粉中含量处于比较合适的水平时 ,才能制成高品质的挂面和方便面。蛋白质经吸水或变性后形成的网络结构是使面团具有可塑性、熟面条具有弹性和部分韧性、方便面具有良好复水性的主要原因 ;也是束缚淀粉颗粒 ,防止其从面条中失落的主要因素。淀粉通过缓解面筋强度、添补蛋白质网络空隙等途径 ,有增大面团和面带延伸性、改善面带表面光滑性、增加面条白度等作用。     

草莓果实发育过程中糖代谢相关基因的表达分析

 为了分析草莓（Fragaria × ananassa Duch.）果实发育过程中可溶性糖积累与相关基因表达量的关系,以‘杜克拉’草莓7个发育时期的果实为试材,利用实时荧光定量RT-PCR的方法,分析果实发育中蔗糖转运蛋白及糖代谢关键酶（酸性转化酶、蔗糖合成酶和蔗糖磷酸合成酶）4个基因的表达量以及可溶性糖含量的变化趋势。结果表明,蔗糖、葡萄糖和果糖含量随着果实发育都呈逐渐增加的趋势,尤其蔗糖积累与果实成熟的关系较密切。随着果实发育,蔗糖磷酸合成酶基因表达量呈逐渐增加的趋势,尤其在果实发育的后期增加较快;蔗糖合成酶和酸性转化酶基因表达量除了白熟期和转色期外,呈逐渐降低的趋势;蔗糖转运蛋白基因表达量呈先升后降,降后又升的变化趋势,尤其在白熟期前急剧增加。结合可溶性糖和基因变化趋势分析表明,蔗糖转运蛋白和蔗糖磷酸合成酶在草莓果实发育过程中发挥着重要的作用。     

板栗赤霉素缺陷型短雄花序芽变的初步鉴定及CmGID1基因的表达分析

 利用赤霉素、细胞分裂素、脱落酸、乙烯利和吲哚乙酸分别涂抹板栗短雄花序,结果显示仅赤霉素能够抑制短雄花序顶端的细胞程序性死亡,并在一定程度上恢复短雄花序的伸长生长。通过RT-PCR扩增方法,从板栗短雄花序芽变和正常雄花序cDNA中克隆出赤霉素受体基因GID1部分序列。测序及序列分析结果表明：克隆的cDNA片段为786 bp,所推导的氨基酸序列与杨毛果GID1氨基酸序列有91%的同源性,与陆地棉、蓖麻GID1均有85%的氨基酸序列同源性。经氨基酸序列功能分析,推测该GID1序列是板栗有编码功能的赤霉素受体基因,命名为CmGID1（GenBank登录号为HQ651231）。实时荧光定量PCR结果显示,从花序萌发至花药萌发前期,除其中一个时期（5月23日）外,芽变短雄花序CmGID1的表达量均高于正常雄花序;在花序的快速生长期,芽变短雄花序CmGID1表达量显著高于正常雄花序（P < 0.01）;且赤霉素处理后恢复生长的短雄花序CmGID1表达量显著降低（P < 0.01）。综合试验结果,初步揭示了该短雄花序为一个赤霉素缺陷型突变体。     

Erythropoietin attenuates cerebral ischemia-induced cognitive dysfunction through stimulation of hippocampal CREB phosphorylation in C57BL/6 mice

AIM: To investigate the neuroprotective effect of erythropoietin (EPO) on cognitive dysfunction and neuronal injury in hippocampal CA1 region induced by cerebral ischemia in mice. METHODS: Male C57BL/6 green fluorescent protein-transgenic mice were randomly divided into 3 groups: sham operation group (sham), ischemia/reperfusion group (I/R) and EPO-treated group. Transient cerebral global ischemia was induced by bilateral common carotid artery occlusion (2-VO). The step-down test was used to measure the capacity of learning and memory of the animals in each group. Nissl staining was applied to examine the neuronal number in hippocampal CA1 region. The expression of phosphorylated cAMP response element-binding protein (pCREB) was determined by Western blotting. Alterations of dendritic morphology in hippocampal CA1 region were evaluated using laser scanning confocal microscopy and Neurolucida software. RESULTS: Transient cerebral ischemia caused deficits of spatial learning and memory, and delayed neuronal death and loss of dendritic spines in hippocampal CA1 region were also obvious. The EPO treatment significantly improved the cognitive function in cerebral ischemic mice, and the protein expression of pCREB was obviously increased. At the same time, neuronal death and loss of dendritic spines were reduced in hippocampal CA1 region. CONCLUSION: Erythropoietin increases the protein expression of pCREB, and reduces neuronal death and loss of dendritic spines. These processes may be responsible for erythropoietin-mediated neuroprotective effects and the improvement of cognitive function in cerebral ischemic mice.     

Inhibition of Ang-2 and RGS-5 expression by nanogold results in normalization of vascellum in hepatic tumor

AIM: To observe the vascular normalization effect of nanogold on hepatic tumor by inhibiting angiopoietin-2 (Ang-2), regulator of G-protein signaling-5 (RGS-5) during certain time window. METHODS: H22 cells, the hepatocellular cancer cell line, were subcutaneously injected into the right armpits of 48 BALB/c nude mice. When the size of transplanted tumor reached 3~4 mm, the mice were divided into 2 groups: 36 mice in experiment group and 12 mice in control group. The mice in experimental group underwent injection of nanogold into the tumor once a day, and the mice in control group were injected with normal saline. After continuous treatment with nanogold for 3 days, 7 days and 11 days, the mice were sacrificed, the liver tumors were taken out to measure the size and weight. The expression of Ang-1,Ang-2 and RGS-5 in the tumor was detected by the method of immunohistochemical staining. The normalizing shapes of tumor vessels and the pericytes were observed under electronic microscope. RESULTS: With nanogold treatment for 3 days, 7 days and 11 days, the positive rates of Ang-1 were 16.7％, 50.0% and 16.7%, respectively. The positive rates of Ang-2 were 33.3%, 16.7% and 41.7%, respectively. The expression of Ang-1 in experiment group was higher than that in control group, especially at the 7th day in experiment group. The expression of Ang-2 in experiment group was lower than that in control group (58.3%), especially at the 7th day in experiment group. With nanogold treatment for 3 days, 7 days and 11 days, the positive rates of RGS-5 were 33.3%, 16.7% and 50.0%, respectively. The immature pericyte coverage indexes (IMPI) were 19.6%±4.3%, 32.5%±7.9% and 41.2%±9.1% respectively. At the 7th day in experiment group, the positive rates of RGS-5 and IMPI were lower than those in other experiment groups and control group. After treated with nanogold for 7 days, the pericytes in the parietal wall of the blood vessels in the tumor showed the tendency to grow normally in morphology and were completely covered by endothelial cells. However, the pericytes in the parietal wall of the blood vessels in control group showed differences in size, impaired integrity and only a few of the pericytes covered by endothelial cells. CONCLUSION: During the time window of nangold treatment for 7 days, the chemical can normalize the blood vessels in liver cancer by inhibiting the expression of Ang-2 and RGS-5.     

Prostaglandin E2 receptors,EP2 and EP4, regulate expression of surface molecules and cytokines in B-cells of collagen-induced arthritic mice

AIM: To observe the immunoregulatory effects of prostaglandin E₂ receptor (EP) subtypes EP2/EP4 on the B-cells of collagen-induced arthritic(CIA)mice. METHODS: DBA/1 mice were immunized with chicken type II collagen emulsified in Freunds complete adjuvant to induce arthritis. B-cells were isolated from the splenocyte suspension by positive selection using anti-CD19 monoclonal antibody immunomagnetic beads. The expression of MHC II, CD 80 and CD86 was examined by flow cytometry. The mRNA levels of EPs, interferon γ (IFN-γ), tumor necrosis factor α (TNF-α), IL-6, IL-4, IL-10 and transforming growth factor-β (TGF-β) were detected by real-time RT-PCR. RESULTS: The rank of the mRNA levels of EPs was EP2>EP1>EP3>EP4 in B-cells and EP2/EP4 mRNA expression was obviously increased in CIA mice. EP2 antagonists inhibited the expression of MHC II, CD80 and CD86. EP4 antagonist had little effect on CD80. EP2/EP4 antagonists inhibited the mRNA expression of IFN-γ, TNF-α, and IL-6 (P<0.05 or P<0.01) and increased the expression of IL-10 (P<0.01 or P<0.05). Furthermore, the antagonists of EP2 and EP4 also increased the mRNA expression of IL-4 and TGF-β (P<0.01), respectively. CONCLUSION: PGE₂ modulate the pathogenesis of CIA via EP2/EP4 by regulating the expression of surface molecules and cytokines in B-cells. EP2/EP4 may be a new therapeutic target for treating rheumatoid arthritis.
