Expression of cyclooxygenase-2 in IL-1β-stimulated mesangial cells is medicated by NF-κB/IκB signal pathway

AIM: To investigate the role of NF-κB/IκB signal pathway in the regulation of cyclooxygenase-2 (COX-2) expression in human mesangial cells (HMC). METHODS: The PGE₂ concentration in supernatants of HMC was measured by radioimmunoassay. COX-2 mRNA and protein expression were determined by RT-PCR and Western blot. Electrophoretic mobility shift assay (EMSA) and Western blot were used to detect the activity of NF-κB and degradation of IκB. RESULTS: IL-1β significantly upregulated COX-2 expression and PGE₂ production in HMC. Significant up-regulation of NF-κB activation, nuclear translocation of p65 subunit, and degradation of IκB α and IκB β were observed in IL-1β-induced HMC. CONCLUSION: Expression of COX-2 in IL-1β-induced HMC is mediated by NF-κB/IκB signal pathway.     

Inhibition of K562 cell growth by antisense drug targeting with VEGF mRNA in vitro

AIM: To investigate inhibition of K562 cell growth by antisense drug targeted VEGF mRNA. METHODS: X7, 20-mer antisense sequences were selected, synthesized and modified with phosphorothioate. The drug was transfected into K562 cells in the present of lipofection. Cell growth was assayed by trypan blue dye exclusion assay and MTT. The level of VEGF protein in the media was determined by ELISA. The morphology of apoptotic cells were observed by Giemsa staining, and the propotion of apoptotic cells was detected by flow cytometry. RESULTS: The antisense drug inhibited growth of K562 and downregulated expression of VEGF protein significantly, compared with Scrambed control group and showed dose-dependent relation. Signs of apoptosis of K562 cells were not observed. CONCLUSION: Inhibition of K562 cell proliferation, but not cells apoptosis induction is the mechanism of inhibing growth of K562 cells by antisense drug targeted VEGF mRNA. At same time, VEGF has function of promoting K562 cell proliferation, and VEGF mRNA may be a new target attached by drugs.

基于LabVIEW分布式农业大棚设计

介绍一种基于LabVIEW的分布式农业大棚，在大棚不同区域设置终端节点，负责光照度、空气温湿度、CO2浓度和土壤湿度数据的采集和上传，同时接收集中器转发的指令，根据指令控制不同区域喷淋头、加热器、排风扇和遮阳板的动作，实现对各区域不同作物生长环境的分布精准调节。通过多点分布式监控，为大棚分区种植的每种作物提供最适合的生长环境，以满足职业院校农业类专业学生的实践需求。      

Spectrum-Effect Relationship Between High Performance Liquid Chromatography Fingerprints and Anticoccidial Activities of a Compound Chinese Medicine

Quality control and screening of active substances in traditional Chinese medicines have been performed using fingerprint analysis. The spectrum-effect relationship between chromatography fingerprints and efficacy of herbal drugs is considered as a potentially useful method for determining active ingredients in complex mixtures. The study was designed to develop a method for determining the bioactive components of a compound Chinese medicine called Tiefeng based on spectrum-effect relationships between high-performance liquid chromatography （HPLC） fingerprints and anticoccidial activities. Four peaks of the established HPLC fingerprint indicate the main bioactive components of this medicine. In addition, pharrnacodynamic atlas was defined and used to assess the anticoccidial activity of Tiefeng from different sources for the first time. We found that the level of anticoccidial activity of Tiefeng was consistent with the degree of similarity between the pharmacodynamic atlas and chromatogram of any sample. Furthermore, effect of this medicine was related with the main active constituents, along with the origin and the harvesting time.

福建地区2株猪嵴病毒 VP1基因的克隆及遗传进化分析

[目的]调查猪嵴病毒在福建地区腹泻猪群中的流行和变异情况。[方法]根据Gen Bank中登陆的猪嵴病毒(porcine kobuvirus,PKo V)结构蛋白VP1基因序列设计特异性引物,采用RT-PCR方法从某猪场采集腹泻小肠样品中扩增猪嵴病毒VP1基因,将扩增后的目的片段克隆后进行序列测定。应用生物信息学软件,将获得的2株猪嵴病毒VP1和Gen Bank的猪嵴病毒株VP1基因序列进行对比分析。[结果]猪嵴病毒CH/FJNP/12L/2015与匈牙利株K-30-HU/2008/HUN(GQ249161)的核苷酸同源性最高,为88.1%,氨基酸同源性为95.3%。CH/FJNP/12W1/2015与越南株714441/CAOLANH-VH/2012-2-21(KT266058)的核苷酸同源性最高,为88.2%,氨基酸同源性为96.1%,同源重组分析显示,2株毒株均无明显同源重组发生。[结论]频繁的畜禽国际贸易,以及如今便捷的现代化交通工具,人们生活提供方便的同时,也加速了猪嵴病毒毒性的传播。

红树植物—白骨壤黑斑病病原菌的分离与鉴定

<正>红树林是生长在热带、亚热带海岸潮间带,可海陆两栖的特殊木本植物群落,具有防风御浪、净化环境、维护沿海湿地生物多样性等生态功能,为珍稀植物群落。有报道认为红树植物生长在海边又富含抗菌等活性物质,不利于病害发生,但近年来本实验室在广东雷州半岛等地红树林发现有多种病害发生~([1,2]),仅白骨壤(Avicennia marina)上就发现有黑茎病、灰斑病等病害。2014年我们在该区白骨壤小苗     

全基因组选择信号揭示绒山羊绒毛性状相关的候选基因
