基于无人机多光谱的耐旱苎麻品种筛选方法

高温干旱是影响作物生长及最终生产力的主要胁迫源。当前,无人机遥感技术已在作物倒伏和病虫害的分级监测研究中取得重大进展,但有关利用无人机遥感进行作物抗旱等级监测的研究却鲜有报道。因此,以苎麻种质资源为研究对象,提出了苎麻抗旱性量化标准,并提供了一种利用无人机多光谱遥感鉴定苎麻种质资源抗旱性的方法。首先,由专家对36份苎麻种质资源进行抗旱性分级;然后,结合无人机多光谱遥感获取的植被指数,采用随机森林(Random forest, RF)、支持向量机(Support vector machine, SVM)、决策树(Decision tree, DT)3种机器学习方法分别构建苎麻抗旱性鉴定模型,并通过苎麻在高温干旱胁迫下的表型响应检验鉴定结果;最后,基于无人机获取的遥感表型,筛选高温干旱胁迫下优质苎麻种质资源。结果表明,利用SVM构建的苎麻抗旱性鉴定模型正确率达到0.74,不同抗旱级分类F1得分范围为0.69～0.79,说明该方法能用于苎麻种质资源抗旱性评估。利用无人机遥感数据反演得到的3项苎麻表型性状(叶绿素相对含量、叶面积指数、株高)均与人工测量值具有较强的相关性,在此基础上,研究从高温...

Role of GPR40 mediates the effects of FFAs on lipoapoptosis in mouse β-cell line NIT-1

AIM: To evaluate the role of G protein-coupled receptor 40 (GPR40) mediates the effects of free fatty acids (FFAs) on lipoapoptosis in mouse β-cell line NIT-1 and the mechanisms involved in this process.METHODS: NIT-1 cells were supplemented with palmitate (500 μmol/L) or oleate (500 μmol/L) for 48 h, then apoptosis of the cells was determined by the methods of Hoechst 33342, TUNEL and flow cytometry (Annexin V/PI). The small interfering RNA technique was used to inhibit the expression of GPR40 in NIT-1 cell. The mock, control siRNA and GPR40 siRNA transfected cells were either supplemented with palmitate (500 μmol/L) or co-incubated with palmitate and oleate (500 μmol/L for each) for 48 h. The percentages of apoptotic cells were quantified. The expression of p-c-Jun, Bcl-2 and Bax were detected by Western blotting.RESULTS: Palmitate induced β cell lipoapoptosis, whereas oleate inhibited NIT-1 cells from palmitate-induced lipoapoptosis. No significant difference of the percentages of apoptotic cells was indicated among the mock, control siRNA and GPR40 siRNA transfected cells treated with palmitate (P>0.05). However, after co-incubated with palmitate and oleate (500 μmol/L for each) for 48 h, the percentage of apoptotic cells in GPR40 siRNA transfected cells was greater than that in mock (P<0.05), while the expression of p-c-Jun was decreased. The expressions of Bcl-2 and Bax were not affected.CONCLUSION: Palmitate induced β cell lipoapoptosis might not be mediated through GPR40, whereas oleate inhibits NIT-1 cells from palmitate-induced lipoapoptosis, which is mediated at least in part through GPR40, the change of c-Jun expression may play an role in this process, suggesting that GPR40 might be implicated in the control of β cell mass plasticity and GPR40 probably provides a link between obesity and type 2 diabetes.     

Effects of salvianolic acid B on neurons during oxygen/glucose deprivation and reintroduction

AIM: To observe the damage induced in the primary cultured rat cortical neurons by oxygen/glucose deprivation and reintroduction, and to investigate the neuroprotective mechanism of salvianolic acid B (SalB). METHODS: Primary cultured rat cortical neurons were randomly divided into the control group, the model group and the SalB group. The cell model was established by oxygen/glucose deprivation for 3 h followed oxygen/glucose reintroduction for 24 h. The cortical neurons viability was determined by MTT assay. The leakage rate of lactate dehydrogenase (LDH) was measured by chromatometry. The mitochondrial membrane potentials (MMP) and the apoptosis rate were quantitatively analyzed by flow cytometry. The cytosolic free calcium was assessed using LSCM. The morphologic changes of neuronal nuclei were observed by Hoechst 33342 fluorescence staining. RESULTS: Compared to the model group, the cortical neurons viability, the survival rate and the fluorescence value of MMP in the SalB group were obviously increased (P<0.05,P<0.01). In addition, in the SalB group, the leakage rate of LDH, the fluorescence intensity of cytosolic free calcium and the apoptosis rate were significantly lower than those in the model group (P<0.01). CONCLUSION: The neuroprotective mechanism of SalB in the oxygen/glucose deprivation and reintroduction neurons would be due to the fact that SalB maintains the MMP and the calcium homeostasis.     

Role of nestin in the maintenance of the structure of podocytes

AIM:To investigate the expression of nestin, a kind of cytoskeletal protein in cultured murine podocytes and the role of nestin in the maintenance of the podocyte structure.METHODS:The immortalized murine podocytes were cultured. The expression of nestin was determined by immunofluorescence. In differentiated podocytes, the expression of nestin was knock-down by RNAi. The effect of nestin knock-down was examined by Western blotting and immunofluorescence. The projections longer than maximal length of the cell body in which the cells transfected with siRNA and control vector that contained nonhomologous oligo were counted, respectively. RESULTS:Nestin siRNA markedly reduced or abolished nestin expression. In cells transfected with nestin siRNA, the percentage of cells with processes was significantly lower than that in cells transfected with control vector (77.0%±6.3% vs 16.0%±4.6%, n=3, P<0.01). CONCLUSION:Nestin may play an important role in maintaining normal function of podocytes.     

Effect of atorvastatin on neointimal hyperplasia of venous autografts in rats

AIM: To investigate the effect of atorvastatin on neointimal hyperplasia of autogenous vein graft in rats. METHODS: The model of autogenous vein graft was prepared by transplanting the external jugular vein into aorta in Wistar rats. The rats were divided into three groups: sham operation group, graft control group and graft experimental group. From three days after transplantation, the rats of autograft experimental group were treated by atorvastatin at a dosage of 5 mg·kg-1·d-1. Four weeks after treatment, venous autografts were removed at autopsy and cut into 4 μm sections. Histopathological examination was carried out to analysis the neointimal hyperplasia of grafted veins. Immunohistochemical staining was conducted to evaluate SMα-actin and PCNA expression of neointimal cells in venous autografts. RESULTS: In venous autograft control and experimental groups, SMα-actin-positive smooth muscle cells were proliferated and accumulated excessively in venous autografts, which resulted in significant neointimal formation and vascular lumen narrowing. Neointima quantitative assay revealed that the neointimal hyperplasia of venous autografts was suppressed obviously in graft experimental group, and its neointimal area and NIA/MA ratio of venous autografts were significantly lower than those in graft control group (P<0.01). Immunohistochemical assay indicated that the PCNA labeling index of neointimal cells was significantly lower in graft experimental group than that in graft control group (P<0.01). CONCLUSION: Atorvastatin significantly inhibits the proliferation of neointimal smooth muscle cells and the development of neointimal hyperplasia of venous autografts in rats. Atorvastatin is a powerful inhibitor of restenosis after vascular reconstructive operation with a potential for therapeutic use.
