Endogenous hydrogen sulfide regulates oxidant/antioxidant balance in rat with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease

AIM: To investigate the role of hydrogen sulfide (H₂S) in the protection against oxidative stress in rats with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD).METHODS: The rat model of COPD was established by cigarette smoking (CS) combined with lipopolysaccharide (LPS) instillation. Thirty-two healthy male Sprague-Dawley rats were randomly divided into 4 groups: control group, CS+LPS group, CS+LPS+NaHS (H₂S donor) group and CS+LPS+PPG (DL-propargylglycine, an inhibitor of cystathionine-γ-lyase) group. After 30 days, the lung functions of the rats were measured, the histological changes of lungs were observed under light microscope and the pathological scores were calculated. The H₂S level in plasma and the protein expression of cystathionine-γ-lyase (CSE) in the lung tissues were measured. The content of malondialdehyde (MDA), the activity of superoxide dismutase (SOD) and catalase (CAT) were detected to reflect oxidative stress.RESULTS: Compared with control group, the peak expiratory flow (PEF) decreased by 24% and intra-pressure (IP) increased by 66% in CS+LPS group. The pathological scores of the lung tissues also increased. Compared with CS+LPS group, no change in the lung function was observed after given NaHS or PPG, but the pathological scores decreased in CS+ LPS+ NaHS group. Compared with control group, the content of H₂S in plasma was increased by 26% on day 16. Compared with CS+LPS group, the content of H₂S in plasma of CS+LPS+PPG group was decreased by 22% after 30 days. Compared with control group, the protein expression of CSE increased, and no statistical difference among CS+LPS group, CS+ LPS+ NaHS group and CS+LPS+PPG group was observed. Compared with control group, MDA content in the lung tissues was increased by 24% in CS+LPS group, the activity of SOD was increased by 47% and the activity of CAT was increased by 52%. Compared with CS+LPS group, the MDA content in CS+LPS+NaHS group was decreased by 21%, and no statistical difference in the activity of SOD and CAT was observed. The activity of SOD decreased by 33% after given PPG.CONCLUSION: H₂S plays a role as anti-oxidant in the rats with COPD. The CSE/ H₂S pathway may be involved in the development of COPD.     

小菜蛾Btk抗性品系对四种Bt杀虫晶体蛋白抗性发展的研究

使用苏云金芽胞杆菌库斯塔克亚种（Btk）可湿性粉剂对小菜蛾进行继代汰选获得F80代和F100代抗性品系。通过分别测定Cry1Ab、Cry1Ac、Cry1Ah和Cry1Ca四种杀虫晶体蛋白对小菜蛾Btk抗性品系F80代和F100代的室内毒力,明确了小菜蛾Btk抗性品系对四种Bt杀虫晶体蛋白抗性发展规律。研究结果表明,汰选至F80代时,Cry1Ca对小菜蛾的毒力最高,LC50约12.1mg/L,其次为Cry1Ac,LC50约47.7mg/L;而汰选至F100代时,仍以Cry1Ca对小菜蛾的毒力最高,LC50约21.4 mg/L,其次为Cry1Ab,LC50约72.2 mg/L。与相对敏感品系相比,小菜蛾抗性品系对Cry1Ac的抗性发展较快（抗性倍数高达67.3～106.8倍）,对Cry1Ab的次之（抗性倍数高达60.0～66.1倍）,而对Cry1Ca和Cry1Ah的抗性发展较慢（抗性倍数分别为3.4～6.0倍和1.6～2.5倍）。以上结果说明,在主效杀虫基因为Cry1Ac的Btk药剂选择压力下,小菜蛾对四种Bt杀虫晶体蛋白的抗性发展速度差异较大,且Cry1Ac和Cry1Ab存在交互抗性风险...     

芸薹属蔬菜花期分子调控研究进展

开花是芸薹属蔬菜作物非常重要的农艺性状,有4条途径调控开花：春化途径,光周期途径,赤霉素途径和自主途径。尽管这４条途径分别受不同的基因网络调节,但最终都汇集到相同的开花路径整合子。本文以模式植物拟南芥为借鉴,综述了芸薹属蔬菜花期调控中春化途径和自主途径关键基因FLC、光周期途径中关键基因CO和赤霉素途径的分子机制,及其在开花信号整合子中的核心调节作用,并对芸薹属蔬菜花期调控的深入研究进行了展望。     

草莓FaMDHAR和FaGR的克隆与表达分析

为了探讨草莓中单脱氢抗坏血酸还原酶（Monodehydroascorbate reductase,MDHAR）和谷胱甘肽还原酶（Glutathione reductase,GR）基因的功能,采用同源克隆的方法从‘丰香’草莓中克隆得到cDNA全长序列,并采用实时定量PCR方法对其在不同组织和不同发育阶段果实中的表达模式进行分析。结果表明：草莓MDHAR基因cDNA（FaMDHAR,GenBank登录号：KP025946）全长1 305 bp,编码434个氨基酸,分子量约为47 kD,含有保守的FAD结合结构域,定位于细胞质中。GR基因cDNA（FaGR,GenBank登录号：JQ339738）开放阅读框全长1 491 bp,编码496个氨基酸,分子量为53 kD,定位于细胞质中。FaMDHAR在各组织中均有表达,在成熟果实中表达量最高,叶和花次之,根中最低;在果实发育过程中FaMDHAR在绿果期有相对较高的表达,随后急剧增加,到白熟期最高,之后下降并维持在相对稳定水平。FaGR在叶和花中表达较高,在成熟果实中较低;在果实发育过程中,表达量从小绿期呈现增加趋势,至转红果期达最高,随后逐渐下降,在成熟果实中较低。果实发育过程中酶活性变化呈现出与各自基因表达量相似的变化规律。经过4 ℃低温处理24 h后的草莓叶片中,FaMDHAR相对表达量较对照显著增加,而FaGR无显著变化。草莓中FaMDHAR和FaGR表达存在时空差异,并对低温逆境响应存在差异。
