甲基磺酸乙酯对草莓愈伤组织的生理效应

用不同浓度甲基磺酸乙酯对草莓愈伤组织进行诱变处理,测定了愈伤组织中的保护酶和氧化酶活性、总酚含量、MDA含量的变化以及愈伤组织的死亡率。结果表明,随着EMS处理浓度的增加和时间的延长,愈伤组织死亡率呈上升趋势;随着EMS处理浓度的增加,保护酶SOD,CAT和氧化酶PPO,POD活性升高,而后快速下降;随着处理时间的延长,SOD活性逐渐下降,CAT,PPO活性先上升后下降,POD活性则表现为先降后升再降;随着处理浓度的增加和时间的延长,总酚含量变化为先升后降,但上升和下降都比较缓慢,而MDA含量则逐渐上升;处理后的愈伤组织在培养过程中,PPO,POD活性迅速下降并维持在相对稳定的水平,总酚和MDA含量逐渐下降,而总酚含量与PPO,POD活性呈显著正相关。由此认为,在用EMS对草莓愈伤组织进行诱变时,较适宜的剂量为0.1%~0.2%浓度处理1.0~1.5 h,在处理完成后的前12 h培养中,应采取措施以减轻褐变。

Effect of poly(ADP-ribose) polymerase on the response of guinea pig tracheas induced by peroxynitrite in vitro

AIM and METHODS: to elucidater the effect of poly(ADP-ribose) polymerase(PARP) on tracheal hyperreactivity of guinea - pig induced by peroxynitrite, the responses of guinea pig tracheas to histamine af- ter incubation with peroxynitrite in the absence and presence of 3 - aminobenzamide(3 - AB), a highly selective inhibitor for PARP, were observed in vitro. RESULTS: The exposure of tracheal strips to peroxynitrite led to epithelial damage and hyperreacitivity to histamine, both of which were reversed by 3 - AB(lmmol/L or 5mmol/L), whereas incubation of tracheal strips with 3 - AB(5mmol/L) had no effect on the reponses. CONCLUSION: PARP is involved in the epithelial damage and hyperreactivity of guinea - pig tracheas induced by peroxynitrite. The results suggested that inhibition of excessive activation of PARP may represent a novel strategy for the prevention and therapy of airway hyperreactivity in asthma.     

Effects of EBV infection on growth and apoptosis of nasopharyngeal carcinoma cell line

AIM: To explore the effect of EBV infection on growth and apoptosis of nasopharyngeal carcinoma(NPC) cell line.METHODS: NPC cell line CNE1 was directly infected by Epstein Barr virus (EBV). The expression of EBV-latent membrane protein 1 (EBV-LMP1) and bcl-2 were detected by immunohistochemistry method (LSAB). The growth of NPC cells was identified by MTT method. Apoptotic carcinoma cells were detected by flow cytometry analysis and the terminal deoxynucletidyl transferase-medicated dUTP-biotin nick end labeling (TUNEL) methods. RESULTS: EBV-LMP1 was positive in CNE1 infected by EBV(E-CNE1). Compared with CEN1, the growth of E-CNE1 apparently increased (P＜0.01). No apoptotic carcinoma cells were detected and bcl-2 postive cells were 2%~3% respectively in 2 kinds of NPC cells.CONCLUSION: Growth of NPC cells is enhanced by EBV infection and EBV-LMP1 expression, but no influence on expression of bcl-2 and apoptosis of NPC cells.     

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.     

Progress in roles of MNX1 antisense RNA 1 in malignant tumor

MNX1 antisense RNA 1 （MNX1-AS1） is a newly discovered long non-coding RNA （lncRNA）, which is highly dysregulated in various carcinomas and its expression level is closely related to the overall survival and prognosis of patients. MNX1-AS1 regulates the occurrence and development of carcinomas by endogenous competitive adsorption of miRNA, regulating cell cycle, inducing epithelial mesenchymal transformation and activating multiple signaling pathways. The in-depth study of the carcinogenesis of MNX1-AS1 is useful for the early diagnosis, targeted therapy and prognostic assessment of relevant carcinomas. This article reviews the roles of MNX1-AS1 in malignant tumor.
