Dynamic expression of thioredoxin 2 in myocardial mitochondria in selenium-deficiency rats during myocardial injury

AIM: To investigate the dynamic expression of thioredoxin 2 (Trx2) protein in the myocardial mitochondria under the condition of selenium deficiency. METHODS: A model of selenium deficiency was made using two-week-old SD rats. When the rats were fed for 20 weeks, 30 weeks and 40 weeks, the cardiac functions were detected by carotid artery intubation. The myocardial mitochondria were also extracted, and the protein expression of mitochondrial Trx2 was measured by Western blotting. The method of immunohistochemistry was used to detect Fas-associated death domain protein (FADD,a death marker protein) for determining the apoptosis of myocardial cells. The correlation between Trx2 and left ventricular systolic pressure (LVSP), maximum rate of left ventricular pressure rise(+dp/dtmax) and apoptotic index of the myocardial cells was analyzed. RESULTS: Compared with the corresponding period of normal control group, the expression of Trx2 protein in the selenium-deficiency rats was reduced. The expression of Trx2 protein was continuously reduced as the time of selenium deficiency prolonged. As the time of low-selenium feeding was going on, the systolic and diastolic functions of the heart were impaired, and the number of apoptotic myocardial cells was increased. The correlation analysis indicated that Trx2 had positive correlations with LVSP and +dp/dtmax, and had a negative correlation with the apoptotic index of myocardial cells. CONCLUSION: Selenium deficiency affects the expression of Trx2 protein,and causes impaired cardiac functions and the apoptosis of myocardial cells. Trx2 has a protective effect on myocardial cells.     

国产青花菜品种的引进筛选

云南省青花菜出口生产基地主要集中在滇中一
带,如昆明呈贡县、晋宁县、嵩明县、安宁县,玉溪市
通海县、江川县、澄江县等地。据调查,滇中青花菜生
产基地的主栽品种全部是进口品种。近年来,国内各
科研院所、企业纷纷开展青花菜品种的选育工作,一
些优良品种已经应用于生产。为了促进国产青花菜
品种在云南省的推广应用,2009 年笔者引进19 个国
产青花菜品种进行种植观察,以期筛选出综合性状
较好的国产品种并应用于生产。     

核桃内果皮RNA提取方法研究

以核桃果壳硬化期的内果皮为试材,针对核桃内果皮木质化程度高且富含多酚多糖的特点,比较CTAB法Ⅰ、CTAB法Ⅱ和试剂盒3种方法提取核桃内果皮RNA的效果。结果表明:3种方法提取的RNA均可见3条带。CTAB法Ⅰ提取的RNA略微拖带,OD_(260)/OD_(280)为1.540,RNA产率为75.9μg/g,RNA完整性差,质量低;CTAB法Ⅱ的RNA图谱较完整,但亮度较弱,OD_(260)/OD_(280)为1.801,产率为86.1μg/g,但RNA提取过程耗时太长;试剂盒法提取的RNAOD_(260)/OD_(280)为2.055,RNA产率96.4μg/g,RNA图谱清晰、稳定、明亮,证明得到的RNA多糖及酚类等去除较彻底,纯度、完整性和产率均较高。因此,应用复杂植物总RNA提取试剂的试剂盒法可获得高质量与高产率的核桃内果皮总RNA,完全满足后续分子生物学研究。     

北马兜铃营养生长期过氧化物酶同工酶分析

用聚丙烯酰胺垂直板凝胶电泳技术对北马兜铃营养生长期根、幼茎、老茎、叶柄、未展开幼叶、展开幼叶和成熟叶的过氧化物酶(POD)同工酶进行了分析。结果表明:北马兜铃营养生长期7个组织器官共有10条POD酶带,其POD同工酶具有组织特异性,其中未展开幼叶的POD同工酶酶带丰富、活性较强、含量较高,是POD同工酶分析最好的材料,而成熟叶片由于POD酶种类太少,最不适合作POD同工酶分析。     

鹅膏毒肽与RNA聚合酶Ⅱ相互作用的研究进展

RNA聚合酶Ⅱ是真核生物中最活跃最复杂的RNA聚合酶之一,具有非常重要的生物学功能,而鹅膏(Amanita)毒肽对其活性具有专一的高抑制性,这使鹅膏毒肽与RNA聚合酶Ⅱ相互作用的研究尤为重要。鉴于国内对鹅膏毒肽与RNA聚合酶Ⅱ相互作用的研究薄弱,笔者从鹅膏毒肽活性位点的确定、两者相互作用方式、抑制机理及抑制能力等方面进行总结,以期为两者的深入研究提供参考。

In Vitro Activities of Antifungal Agents against Clinical Isolates of Dermatophytes from Animals

Although the susceptibility of dermatophytes to antifungal drugs is well documented in humans, the effectiveness in animals has not been previously investigated. The in vitro susceptibility of 54 clinical isolates from animal dermatophytoses to ketoconazole (KTZ), itaconazole (ITZ) and terbinafine (TFN) was measured using microdilution assay (CLSI M38-A2 test) and by the E-test (KTZ and ITZ). All 3 drugs showed antifungal activity, while KTZ displayed the broadest minimum inhibition concentration (MIC) range (0.125-16 μg/ml) against M. canis and M. gypseum. The MIC of KTZ and ITZ was almost the same for human and animal isolates of T. mentagrophytes and T. rubrum. The MIC of TFN was almost the same for dermatophytes isolated from humans and animals.
