Effect of cilazapril on pulmonary vascular endothelial dysfunction in hypoxic rats

AIM:To study the effect of cilazapril on pulmonary vascular endothelial dysfunction in hypoxic rats. METHODS:The structure and function of endothelium in hypoxic rats were studied by biochemical analysis, radioimmunoassay, transmission electron microscope and correlated with hemodynamic. RESULTS:1) The change and damage of ultrastructure in endothelial cell (EC) were obsevered in hypoxic rats. 2) The contents of plasma nitric oxide (NO) and superoxide dismutase (SOD) activity in blood as well as endothelial nitric oxide synthase (eNOS) activity in the lung tissue were significantly lower in the hypoxic rat than those in contral animals. The concentrations of plasma endothelin-1(ET-1) and angiotensin converting enzyme(ACE) as well as malondialdehyde(MDA) were significantly higher in the hypoxic rat than these in contral animals. The relaxing and contracting factors had a significant positive/negative correlation with mean pulmonary artery pressure (mPAP). 3) Cilazapril significantly decreased the level of ET-1 and ACE and significantly increased the level of NO and activity of eNOS and SOD. At the same time, cilazapril extenuated hypoxia-induced injuries of EC. CONCLUSION:The results indicate that damaging structure and dysfunction of EC existes in hypoxic rats. The cilazapril effectively preventes and treates the chronic hypoxic PH by relieving the injury and improving secretion in EC.

龙眼体胚发生早期miR166初级体的克隆与表达分析

为了解龙眼miR166初级体基因Pri-miR166 S53结构特点及其前体和成熟体在龙眼体胚发生早期的表达模式,采用SMART~(TM) RACE试剂盒和PCR扩增技术克隆龙眼体胚早期miR166基因的初级体(Pri-miR166 S53),确认其转录起始位点,并预测其含有的潜在ORF;利用龙眼基因组数据库提取其启动子序列,预测其含有的顺式作用元件;用实时荧光定量PCR对龙眼体胚发生早期及不同激素处理下的胚性愈伤组织中miR166基因的前体(Pre-miR166 S53)和成熟体(miR166a.2)表达模式进行分析。结果表明:获得长317 bp的Pri-miR166 S53基因初级体序列,对其进行翻译,得到一条长13个氨基酸序列的miPEP(MLCFVDALFLIST)。利用生物信息学软件分析Pri-miR166 S53基因的启动子序列发现,除了具有TATA/CAAT-box外,还含有生长素、脱落酸、乙烯、水杨酸、茉莉酸甲酯及spl、HSE等特异作用元件。实时荧光定量PCR分析表明,在2,4-D调控的龙眼体胚发生早期过程中,从胚性松散型愈伤组织发育到球形胚的过程中,Pri-miR166 S53基因的前体pre-miR166 S53和成熟体miR166a.2都表现为下调趋势;而在无2,4-D调控的龙眼体胚发生早期中,pre-miR166 S53和miR166a.2表达模式不同。此外,pre-miR166S53随ABA和乙烯处理浓度升高呈下调表达,而对不同浓度2,4-D处理无应答;miR166a.2随2,4-D、ABA处理浓度升高呈下调表达,而在乙烯处理下呈上调表达。上述研究结果提示miR166前体和成熟体在对外源激素应答的模式上并不呈简单线性相关,可能存在多层次、多方位的调控。     

β-折叠抗菌肽的研发及应用策略

抗生素的滥用导致全球细菌耐药性问题愈发严重,严重威胁人类、畜禽健康及畜牧业发展,功能多样且不易导致细菌产生耐药性突变的抗菌肽（antimicrobial peptides,AMPs）逐渐发展为抗生素的潜在替代品。β-折叠是抗菌肽一个主要的二级结构分类,该类肽通常由一个或多个二硫键来维系结构的稳定,现已发现许多抗菌肽具有此类结构。相比于目前研究广泛的α-螺旋AMP,它们被认为拥有更强的抗酶解能力和更高的细胞选择性。本篇综述介绍了β-折叠抗菌肽的来源和抗细菌机理,并梳理了一些常见的分子设计方法和应用策略,以期为β-折叠抗菌肽的研发应用提供新思路。

Expression of telomerase inhibitor Pinx1 in leukemia cells and its correlation with telomerase activity

AIM:To study the expression of telomerase inhibitor Pinx1 in acute leukemia cells and during the differentiation of acute promyelocytic leukemia cells,and to realize its effect on telomerase activity.METHODS:Realtime quantitative PCR with fluorescence probe hybridization was used to measure the expression of Pinx1 and hTERT mRNA in acute leukemia cells and during differentiation of NB4 cells induced by ATRA.The correlations between Pinx1 and hTERT expression were also analyzed.RESULTS:Pinx1 mRNA expression in acute leukemia samples (0.00312,5.42×10-4-0.024) was significantly higher than that in normal bone marrow mononuclear cells (7.89×10-4,0-0.00863,P<0.01).The expression of Pinx1 mRNA had significant positive correlation with hTERT mRNA expression (r=0.296,P<0.05).Pinx1 mRNA expression decreased during differentiation,its expression was positive correlated with hTERT mRNA expression (r=0.900,P<0.05).CONCLUSIONS:As an inhibitor of telomerase,however,Pinx1 also had the same direction of regulation with telomerase activity in acute leukemia cells,suggesting its expression variation may be a subsequent reaction induced by that of hTERT to stabilize telomerase activity.The exact mechanisms remained to be verified.
