不同浓度褪黑素对氯化钠胁迫下宝岛蕉幼苗的影响

为了研究不同浓度褪黑素对宝岛蕉幼苗氯化钠胁迫的影响,使用不同浓度褪黑素处理宝岛蕉幼苗叶片,研究处理后宝岛蕉幼苗叶片和根系的可溶性糖、丙二醛、脯氨酸含量及叶质膜透性的变化。结果表明,褪黑素100μmol/L能够降低宝岛蕉幼苗叶质膜透性,提高叶片和根系可溶性糖含量,降低叶片和根系丙二醛含量,提高叶片和根系脯氨酸含量,提高幼苗耐盐性,以缓解氯化钠胁迫对宝岛蕉幼苗的伤害。     

Effect of L-lysine Added in Diluent on the Fresh Semen Quality of Dorper Sheep

In order to explore the effect of different L-lysine levels added in semen dilution on the fresh Dorper sheep quality stored at liquid state,3 health Dorper ram were used to collect semen which were equal-packaged and added to solution containing different levels (0,0.1,0.2,0.3,0.4 and 0.5 g) L-lysine in 120 mL diluent and at 0,6,24,30,48,54,72 and 78 h,the sperm motility,membrane integrity and acrosome integrity were detected.The results showed that the sperm motility in groups added 0,0.1 and 0.2 g L-lysine were higher than other groups,and that in 0.4 and 0.5 g L-lysine groups decreased faster than other groups;The sperm motility in 0.5 g L-lysine group reduced to 0 at 30 h,and it reduced to 0 at 48 h in the group added 0.4 g L-lysine;The effective survival time and survival index in the group added 0.1 g L-lysine was higher than other groups (P< 0.05);The membrane integrity of 0.1 g group was the highest,that had no significant difference with control group from 0 to 54 h (P >0.05),while after 72 h the two groups had significant differences (P< 0.05).The membrane integrity in 0.4 and 0.5 g groups were the worst,and that was significant different with other groups (P< 0.05);The acrosome integrity of 0.1 g group was the highest which had no significant difference with control group (P >0.05),0.4 and 0.5 g groups were the worst,the difference between them was not significant (P >0.05),while was extremely significant difference with other groups except for 0 and 6 h (P< 0.01).The results suggested that dilution added a high concentration of L-lysine could inhibit sperm quality,when the count of L-lysine was more than 0.2 g,sperm quality was significantly decreased,adding 0.1 g L-lysine could improve Dorper sheep fresh sperm quality stored at liquid state.

白藜芦醇和褪黑素对绵羊胎儿成纤维细胞转染及卵母细胞体外成熟的影响

试验旨在利用白藜芦醇(Re)和褪黑素(MT)提高绵羊胎儿成纤维细胞电穿孔转染(电转)效率、优化卵母细胞体外成熟体系,以提高转基因动物生产效率。将绵羊胎儿成纤维细胞分为6组:对照组、添加白藜芦醇高、中、低(R^-5、R^-6、R^-7)3种浓度组及白藜芦醇和褪黑素联合添加组(R^-5M^-5、R^-6M^-7),通过电转效率和细胞凋亡情况确定电转体系优化方案;通过对细胞周期、线粒体膜电位及活性氧(ROS)的检测研究其作用机制。将绵羊卵母细胞分为对照组及白藜芦醇和褪黑素(R^-5M^-5、R^-6M^-7)联合添加组,通过绵羊卵母细胞体外成熟后卵丘细胞扩展、第一极体排出及体外受精胚胎的卵裂率检测其对卵母细胞体外成熟的作用。研究结果显示,分离的绵羊胎儿成纤维细胞P3代增殖旺盛,细胞生长曲线呈典型的S型;与对照组相比,所有试验组胎儿成纤维细胞的电转效率均显著提高(P<0.05),R^-5M^-5组电转效率最高;R^-6M^-7组显著降低细胞凋亡率(P<0.05),R^-5、R^-6、R^-5M^-5和R^-6M^-7组均显著促进细胞增殖(P<0.05);R^-6、R^-7、R^-5M^-5和R^-6M^-7组G1期细胞增加,S期细胞相对减少,但差异均不显著(P>0.05);R^-6、R^-7、R^-5M^-5和R^-6M^-7组成纤维细胞内ROS水平均显著降低(P<0.05),R^-6、R^-5M^-5和R^-6M^-7组线粒体膜电位均显著增加(P<0.05);R^-6M^-7组显著促进绵羊卵丘细胞扩展、提高卵母细胞第一极体排出率和体外受精胚胎发育能力(P<0.05)。综上,白藜芦醇和褪黑素可以优化绵羊胎儿成纤维细胞电转体系,提高卵母细胞体外成熟效率,为白藜芦醇和褪黑素在转基因动物生产中的应用提供参考依据。
