福建马铃薯S病毒的分子鉴定及发生情况

为明确福建省马铃薯S病毒(PVS)的发生与分布情况,对福建省马铃薯主要种植区的PVS进行了鉴定和普查.在利用电镜技术和传统生物学方法鉴定的基础上,克隆了PVS外壳蛋白(cp)基因,依据PVS外壳蛋白氨基酸序列建立了PVS不同分离物的系统进化树.研究表明,利用PVS 外壳蛋白氨基酸序列分析可准确鉴定PVS,同时可分析不同分离物间的分子差异.利用病毒特异性引物和DIG标记的PVS cp基因为探针,分别利用RT-PCR技术和核酸斑点杂交技术(NASH)对PVS进行了检测,并对检测技术进行了改进.调查结果表明,PVS在福建省广泛分布,发病率最高可达80%以上,当地农家自留种可能是田间PVS的主要来源.     

Effect of lactacystin and β-lactacystin on the activation and proliferation of T-lymphocytes

AIM: To evaluate the effects of lactacystin (LAC) and β-lactacystin (β-LAC), proteasome inhibitor, on the proliferation and activation of T lymphocytes. METHODS: Flow cytometry was used to analyse the proliferation and the expression of CD69, CD25 and CD3 in PHA activated T-lymphocytes. Furthermore, the expression of PA28 and IL-2 mRNA were assayed by competitive RT-PCR. RESULTS: (1) LAC and β-LAC significantly decreased the incorporation in PHA activated T-lymphocytes. (2) Although LAC and β-LAC did not affect the expression of CD69 at any time, they significantly inhibited the expression of CD25 (48 h, 72 h, P＜0.05). (3) In comparison with control, LAC and β-LAC significantly down-regulated the expression of PA28 and IL-2 mRNA (48 h, 72 h, P＜0.05).CONCLUSIONS: LAC and β-LAC significantly inhibit the proliferation and activation of T lymphocytes. Mechanisms involved are inhibition of CD25 and down-regulation of PA28 and IL-2 mRNA expression.     

Effect of fluvastatin on migration of vascular smooth muscle cells from rats

AIM: To investigate the effect and mechanism of fluvastatin on the migration induced by platelet derived growth factor-BB (PDGF-BB) and endothelin-1 (ET-1) in cultured vascular smooth muscle cells (VSMCs). METHODS: Cultured VSMCs derived from spontaneously hypertensive rats (SHR) were used. Cell migration was determined by modified Boyden chamber assays. Intracellular free calcium (［Ca2+］i) was measured with fluorescent Ca2+ indicator Fura-2/AM. RESULTS: PDGF-BB and ET-1 significantly induced VSMCs migration, which was inhibited by pretreatment of VSMCs with fluvastatin (10-9-10-5 mol/L) in a dose-dependent manner, and the peak inhibition rate of migration induced by PDGF-BB and ET-1 was over 86.67%. Fluvastatin also attenuated the increase in ［Ca2+］i induced by PDGF-BB and ET-1, with a peak inhibition rate of 86.76% and 65.32%, respectively. CONCLUSION: PDGF-BB and ET-1 promote migration of VSMCs from SHR．Fluvastatin may have direct inhibitory effects on cell migration induced by PDGF-BB and ET-1. The increase in ［Ca2+］i may acts as intracellular signaling in the migration in response to PDGF-BB and ET-1 in VSMCs.     

Relation between the time-spatiotemporal expression of caspase-9 and photoreceptor apoptosis as well as electroretinography in RCS rats

AIM: To investigate the relation between the time- spatiotemporal expression of caspase-9 and photoreceptor apoptosis as well as electroretinography (ERG) in Royal College of Surgeons (RCS) rats. METHODS: Twelve non-pigmented degenerative RCS rats at age of 15, 20, 25, 30 days were sacrificed after ERG examination. The caspase-9 expression was analyzed with immunohistochemical staining, fluoro-metric activity assay and Western blotting. Apoptotic retinal neurons were detected by terminal deoxynucleotidyl transferase-mediated dUTP nick-end labeling (TUNEL) technique. RESULTS: The latency and amplitude of b-wave were (58.60±3.42) ms and (109.07±14.50) mV, (56.45±1.08) ms and (109.00±7.35) mV, respectively, in 15 and 20 days old degenerative RCS rats. The ERG resembled flat form in the degenerative RCS rats at age of 25 and 30 days. TUNEL-positive cells were located only in the outer nuclear layer, mostly prevailed in 25-day-old group. Caspase-9 protein expressed in the rat retina started to be found immunohistochemically in 25-day-old and was most predominant in the inner segment. Fluorometric activity assay showed that caspase-9 activity reached its peak, (10.98±0.13) nmol·g-1·min-1 at 20th day. Western blot assay revealed the small cleavage fragmentation at 20th day. No cleavage fragmentation was revealed in the 15-day-old degenerative RCS rats and all other control rats. CONCLUSION: The activation and time-spatiotemporal expression of caspase-9 are coincidence with photoreceptor apoptosis as well as the loss of vision function in RCS degenerative rats, which implicates the important role of caspase-9 in photoreceptor apoptosis.
