Manumycin inhibits activity of pancreatic duct cancer cell line Panc-1 via inducing apoptosis

AIM: In this study, we investigated the anticancer effect and mechanisms of manumycin on pancreatic cancer cell line-Panc-1 and the role of p38MAPK pathway in apoptosis. METHODS: The test of anticancer effect was performed by MTT assay. Apoptosis was induced in the cells by manumycin and then treated with SB203580, a specific p38MAPK inhibitor. A quantitative caspase-3 activity assay kit was used in this experiment. RESULTS: Manumycin (6 μmol/L, 18 μmol/L, 54 μmol/L) significantly inhibited cell growth of pancreatic cancer cell line Panc-1. The inhibition rates 24 h after treatment with 6 μmol/L, 18 μmol/L and 54 μmol/L manumycin were 8.9%, 21.9% and 67.0%, respectively. Compared with the control group, the survival levels of the last two groups were of significant statistical difference (P<0.01). The anticancer effects also showed dosage-effect relationship, the value of IC50 24 h after treatment was 34.7 μmol/L. In addition, this reagent simultaneously activated caspase-3 protein, which was partly blocked by p38MAPK specific inhibitor, SB203580. CONCLUSION: Manumycin exerted anticancer effect on Panc-1 cell line via inducing cell apoptosis, which was partly regulated by p38MAPK.

鸡缩胆囊素(CCK)在T4噬菌体表面的展示及免疫原性研究

采用T4噬菌体表面展示系统，将CCK-33肽四多串联体及八多串联体展示在T4噬菌体表面，并研究其免疫原性。将CCK四串联体和八串联体与SOC基因缺失的、依赖溶菌酶的噬菌体ФT4-Z1重组，获得重组噬菌体CT-4CCK和西T-8CCK。SDS-PAGE和Western Blot检测结果表明，CCK多串联体蛋白已经成功展示在T4噬菌体表面，其融合蛋白分子量约30ku和41ku，能够与CCK标准阳性血清发生特异性反应。以重组噬菌体为免疫原制备油佐剂疫苗主动免疫胡须肉鸡后，抗体浓度显著升高，肉鸡的体重、采食量都有所提高，而料肉比有所下降。结果说明，鸡CCK蛋白展示在T4噬菌体表面具有良好的免疫原性。     

樟树叶水浸液对钉螺过氧化物酶等的影响

用1%~0.1%浓度梯度的新鲜樟树叶的水浸液处理血吸虫的唯一中间寄主———钉螺,设清水饲养为对照。结果表明:樟树叶水浸液处理4~5d后可达到100%的杀灭钉螺效果。采用聚丙稀酰胺电泳技术分离经浓度为1%~0.1%的樟树新鲜叶水浸液处理钉螺样品的过氧化物酶同工酶,经处理24h时样品的酶活高于对照组,而处理48h样品的酶活则大大减弱。由此在微观领域探究了樟树化感作用导致钉螺的病理变化等方面所表现出的杀伤钉螺的机理,获得强他感作用植物樟树灭螺的证据。

14-3-3σ negatively regulates Akt and inhibits Rat1-Akt cell xenografts

AIM:The present study was designed to investigate the effect of adenovirus-mediated 14-3-3σ on Rat1-Akt cell xenografts and to explore whether the effect was mediated through negative regulation of Akt. METHODS:The effect of Ad-14-3-3σ on Rat1-Akt cells xenografts was observed in nude mice ex vivo and in vivo. Western blotting was used to detect 14-3-3σ protein,phospho-Akt (Thr 308), phospho-Akt (Ser 473), and phospho-(Ser/Thr) Akt substrate in tumor tissue after transfection of 14-3-3σ gene. RESULTS:The tumor volume was dramatically decreased and its emergence was delayed, regardless of using Ad-14-3-3σ-treated Rat1-Akt cells (ex vivo) or injected Ad-14-3-3σ in vivo, of which the effect of the continuously injected group was the best. Levels of Akt protein, phosphorylated Akt and phosphorylated Akt substrates in tumors obtained from Ad-14-3-3σ-treated mice were markedly less than those in PBS or Ad-β-gal-treated mice. CONCLUSION:14-3-3σ suppressed Akt overexpession in cells of Rat1-Akt xenografts by negatively regulating Akt.     

杏(Prunus armeniaca)自交不亲和强度及其授粉受精相关特性

为了解杏自交不亲和性强度与授粉受精相关特性的关系,以自交亲和(Self-compatibility:SC)品种凯特(Prunus armeniaca L．cv．Katy)和自交不亲和(Self-incompatibility:SI)品种新世纪(P.armeniaca L.cv．Xinshiji)及凯特×新世纪杂种群体为试材,荧光显微镜观察自交亲和与自交不亲和杏花粉管生长动态。结果表明,授粉后初期,自交亲和性与自交不亲和性的杏花粉都能正常萌发、生长,但是在花粉管生长延伸到花柱1／2以后,自交亲和性的花粉管能顺利进入子房,而自交不亲和性的花粉管多数顶端膨大呈球形,停止向下生长,只有极个别能正常生长到达子房;杂种后代的可溶性蛋白含量和RNA酶比活力,与亲本相比无明显的趋中变异表现,而且在自交亲和与自交不亲和杏之间无显著性差异。     

鸡ADSL基因和GARS-AIRS-GART基因对鸡肉肌苷酸(IMP)含量的影响

以鸡ADSL基因、GARS-AIRS-GART基因为侯选基因,以隐性白羽鸡、丝羽乌骨鸡、萧山鸡、白耳鸡、藏鸡为试验材料,采用PCR-SSCP方法对ADSL外显子2、GARS-AIRS-GART基因5′侧翼序列进行SNPs检测。结果各发现了一个单核苷酸多态性位点。各种基因型与胸肌IMP含量的最小二乘分析结果表明:ADSL基因TT型个体的胸肌肌苷酸含量极显著地高于CC型、显著地高于CT型个体,CT型个体也高于CC型,但差异不显著;GARS-AIRS-GART基因TT型个体的胸肌肌苷酸含量极显著地高于CT型和CC型个体,CT型个体也高于CC型,但差异不显著。ADSL和GARS-AIRS-GART基因的合并基因型对IMP含量也有显著的影响,合并基因型为TTTT的个体IMP含量显著高于CCCC合并基因型的个体,高出1.584 mg/g,因此可以利用该合并基因型对鸡的肉质风味性状进行标记辅助选择。     

鸡H-FABP基因多态性及其与肌内脂肪含量的相关研究

根据GenBank发表的鸡H-FABP基因序列设计引物,以广东省农科院畜牧研究所提供的4个地方优质肉鸡品种,2个培育品种和1个引进的肉鸡品种为试验材料,通过测序和PCR-SSCP的方法进行SNP检测和基因型分析,探讨H-FABP基因多态性与肌内脂肪含量(IMF)之间的关系。结果发现在H-FABP基因260 bp和675 bp处存在T/C和G/A的突变位点,对2个突变位点在研究群体中进行基因型分析,结果产生3种基因型。基因型与IMF的相关分析结果表明:在T260C位点上,所有品种中AA基因型的IMF含量显著(P<0.05)高于BB基因型个体,但对于不同的品种来说,AA和BB基因型只对封开杏花鸡和岭南黄鸡II号的IMF含量有显著影响(P<0.05),而对其他各鸡种均无显著影响(P>0.05);在G675A位点上,所有品种中AA型和AB型肌内脂肪含量差异显著(P<0.05)。
