水稻粉质皱缩胚乳突变体fse4的表型分析与基因克隆

【目的】水稻种子主要以淀粉形式储藏能量。淀粉合成需要多种酶类和调控因子参与，机制较为复杂。本研究利用水稻胚乳发育缺陷突变体，克隆和鉴定新的调控淀粉合成相关基因，旨在为研究淀粉合成及其调控提供理论依据。【方法】从化学诱变剂甲基亚硝基脲（1-methyl-1-nitroso-urea, MNU）处理的宁粳3号(Ningjing 3, WT)突变体库中筛选到一个能稳定遗传的胚乳粉质皱缩突变体，命名为fse4 (floury and shrunken 4 )。与籼稻品种Dular杂交获得F1种子（F2），通过图位克隆的策略确定FSE4候选基因。利用杂合植株（FSE4fse4）分离出的粉质种子，观察形态学特征，分析其理化性质。使用扫描电镜和半薄切片技术观察胚乳结构。使用qRT-PCR和免疫印迹分析淀粉合成相关基因表达模式和淀粉合成相关酶类的蛋白积累量。利用全自动氨基酸分析仪测定成熟胚乳各氨基酸含量。【结果】突变体fse4籽粒宽度、厚度以及千粒重显著下降，同时胚乳中总淀粉、总蛋白、直链淀粉含量亦显著下降，而脂肪含量显著上升；淀粉黏度、崩解值和消减值显著低于野生型。突变体fse4中多为单粒型淀粉颗粒，且排列分散。FSE4定位于第5染色体长臂约252 kb的区间内，测序发现编码Δ1-吡咯啉-5-羧酸合成酶基因 （Delta 1-pyrroline-5-carboxylate synthetase, P5CS）第1外显子上发生单碱基替换，导致一保守的氨基酸发生变异。突变体fse4中大部分淀粉合成相关基因表达量下调，多种淀粉合成相关蛋白积累量减少。突变体fse4米粉中多种氨基酸含量发生显著变化，游离氨基酸含量是其野生型的3.6倍。此外，外源喷施脯氨酸能部分恢复突变体fse4种子萌发缺陷表型。【结论】FSE4编码脯氨酸合成关键限速酶P5CS，该基因对胚乳中氨基酸的合成及代谢起重要的调控作用，并影响淀粉的合成与积累。     

Expression of cathepsin C and tumor necrosis factor-α in human coronary artery and their relationships with coronary heart disease

AIM To explore the possible mechanism of cathepsin C （CTSC） and tumor necrosis factor-α （TNF-α） in coronary heart disease （CHD） by detecting the protein expression of CTSC and TNF-α in human coronary artery tissue. METHODS The coronary artery tissues from 52 cases of CHD and 25 cases of accidental death without any heart disease in the Forensic Judicial Expertise Center of Guizhou Medical University from October 2018 to December 2019 were collected as CHD group and control group, respectively. The coronary artery stenosis and intimal plaque formation were examined by histopathology, the protein expression of CTSC and TNF-α was determined by Western blot, and the intracellular expression of CTSC and TNF-α was analyzed by immunohistochemical staining. RESULTS The results of HE staining showed that the intima of coronary artery in control group was smooth, and no thickening or stenosis was observed. In CHD group, the intima thickened irregularly, atherosclerotic plaques formed, the intima became thinner and the lumen showed eccentric stenosis in varying degrees （P<0.05）. The results of Western blot showed that the expression of CTSC and TNF-α in CHD group was significantly higher than that in control group （P<0.05）. Immunohistochemical staining showed that both CTSC and TNF-α were expressed in the cytoplasm of foam cells, and their positive expression was significantly higher than that in control group （P<0.05）. The results of Pearson moment correlation analysis showed that there was positive correlation between the expression of CTSC and TNF-α in CHD （r²=0.743, P<0.05）. CONCLUSION The up-regulated expression of CTSC in coronary artery tissue may promote the expression of TNF-α and affect the occurrence and development of CHD.

太湖新银鱼种群摄食对小江浮游动物群落结构的影响

为探究三峡水库典型支流小江太湖新银鱼（Neosalanx taihuensis）种群摄食对浮游动物群落结构的影响,于2019年1~12月逐月对太湖新银鱼与浮游动物样品进行采集并分析太湖新银鱼胃含物组成与浮游动物群落结构特征。分析结果表明：（1）太湖新银鱼的饵料生物主要为桡足类（相对重要指数百分比（IRI%）=79.97%）,其次为枝角类（IRI%=18.86%）,轮虫占比较少（IRI%=0.001%）。（2）3至6月（太湖新银鱼春群繁殖期）太湖新银鱼生物量迅速上升,并在5、6月维持较高水平的生物量,而浮游动物群落结构呈现小型化趋势,生物量由28.93 mg/L下降至1.13 mg/L;密度由21173.39 ind./L增加至26808.23 ind./L。7月小江禁捕结束,太湖新银鱼生物量开始急剧下降,小江浮游动物中桡足类和枝角类的密度与生物量迅速升高,于8月（密度为151.98 ind./L;生物量为3.39 mg/L）达到全年最高。（3）在太湖新银鱼生物量较高的时期,由于太湖新银鱼对于枝角类和桡足类具有较强的选择性,导致水体中枝角类和桡足类生物量占比（17%~58%）显著低于其它时期（P<0.05）。由此认为,太湖新银鱼生物量与浮游动物群落结构变化存在较强的关联性,太湖新银鱼种群摄食的下行效应可能是小江浮游动物生物量下降及群落结构小型化的关键原因。明晰太湖新银鱼种群生长与浮游动物群落结构的动态变化关系可为小江水华暴发的控制与水生态健康管理提供理论依据。

Effects of cytokines on renovation of acute renal failure in mouse with bone marrow derived mesenchymal stem cell transplantation

AIM: To observe the effects of cytokines on renovation of acute renal failure (ARF) in mouse with bone marrow derived mesenchymal stem cell (MSC) transplantation. METHODS: ARF animal model was induced in mouse by subcutaneous injection of cisplatin. Mice were randomly assigned into 3 groups: normal control group, ARF group and MSC group. After 24 h cisplatin injection, animals were injected intravenously with MSC in MSC group. Animals were sacrificed at 1 d, 4 d, 7 d, 14 d and 28 d after cisplatin injection. The blood urea nitrogen (BUN) and serum creatinine (Scr) were measured. The renal morphologic changes were scored with Paller’s criterion on hematoxylin and eosin (HE) stained sections. The mRNA and protein expressions of HGF, BMP-7, TNF-α and IL-10 were detected by RT-PCR and immunohistochemistry method. RESULTS: After 4 d of cisplatin injection, the BUN and Scr values in MSC group were significantly lower than those in ARF group (P<0.01). After 7 d and 14 d, the values of BUN and Scr in MSC group were still lower than those in ARF group (P<0.01, P<0.05). The renal morphologic scores of MSC group were also lower than those of ARF group. After 7 d, the expressions of HGF, BMP-7 and IL-10 were higher in MSC group than those in ARF group, the expression of TNF-α in MSC group was lower than that in ARF group. CONCLUSION: MSC promotes the recovery of acute renal failure induced by cisplatin. The mechanism may partly depend on paracrine of growth factor and amelioration of inflammatory.     

水稻愈伤组织中脱落酸特异诱导蛋白的纯化及分析

用硫酸铵分级沉淀、离子交换（DEAE Sepharose和TSK gel）的方法,结合SDS PAGE和2D电泳（two dimension electrophoresis）技术,从水稻愈伤组织中分离并精制了两个分子量相同（24.5 kD）, 等电点分别为61和6.9的脱落酸（ABA）特异诱导蛋白。Western blot印迹分析发现,这两个蛋白在不同组织中的表达差异明显。A1（pI 6.1）蛋白在ABA处理的水稻愈伤组织和种子胚中表达,但在未经ABA处理的材料(包括幼芽、愈伤组织)和白色干燥性愈伤组织中没有检测到表达;A2（pI 6.9）蛋白在经ABA处理材料、种胚和白色干燥性愈伤组织中检测到表达,在未经ABA处理的材料中没有检测到表达。推测这两个蛋白可能在胚（或不定胚）的形成过程中起重要作用。
