Effect of HMGA2 gene on high glucose-induced apoptosis of renal tubular epithelial cells by regulating Notch signaling pathway

AIM:To investigate the effect of HMGA2 down-regulation on apoptosis and Notch signaling pathway in renal tubular epithelial cells exposed to high glucose (HG). METHODS:D-glucose at 5, 10, 20 and 30 mmol/L was used to stimulate human renal tubular epithelial HK-2 cells for 2 h, and D-glucose at 30 mmol/L was used to stimulate the HK-2 cells for 10 min, 60 min and 120 min. The protein expression of HMGA2 was determined by Western blot. The HK-2 cells were divided into normal glucose (NG) group, HG group, HG+si-HMGA2 group and HG+NC group, in which siRNA was transfected by Lipofectamine^TM 2000 for 48 h. Flow cytometry was used to analyze the apoptotic rate, reactive oxygen species (ROS) assay kit was used to detect ROS content, and Western blot was used to detect the protein levels of Notch1, Hes1 and Bcl-2. The HK-2 cells were treated with the Notch signaling pathway inhibitor DAPT, and then the cells were divided into HG group, HG+DAPT group and HG+si-HMGA2+DAPT group. The apoptotic rate was analyzed by flow cytometry. RESULTS:Exposure of the HK-2 cells to D-glucose at different concentrations for different time significantly increased the expression of HMGA2 (P<0.05). Compared with NG group, the protein expression of HMGA2, Notch1 and Hes1 in HG group was increased, the expression of Bcl-2/Bax was decreased, the apoptotic rate was increased, and the content of ROS was increased obviously (P<0.05). Compared with HG group, the protein expression of HMGA2, Notch1 and Hes1 of HG+si-HMGA2 group was decreased, the expression of Bcl-2/Bax was increased, the apoptotic rate was decreased, and the content of ROS was decreased significantly (P<0.05). The apoptotic rate in HG+DAPT group was significantly lower than that in HG group, while the apoptotic rate in HG+si-HMGA2+DAPT group was significantly lower than that in HG+DAPT group (P<0.05). CONCLUSION:Down-regulation of HMGA2 expression inhibits the apoptosis of renal tubular epithelial cells by regulating Notch signaling pathway and decreasing ROS production.     

改良石蜡切片法观察金针菇子实体不同发育时期组织结构

运用改良石蜡切片法制备了金针菇(Flammulina filiformis)子实体不同发育时期的切片,观察其菌褶和菌柄的细胞结构。结果表明,以柠檬烯为透明剂,金针菇子实体组织结构清晰、完整、无皱缩。观察不同发育时期的金针菇子实体组织切片发现,金针菇原基内部有呈菌丝无规则扭结状态的菌盖结构,随着子实体不断发育,菌盖下端有菌褶结构分化,随后菌柄结构随菌盖发育而进一步分化,菌柄组织细胞状纵向紧密排列,横切面有维管束状细胞呈外紧密内疏松状排列且其间有孔洞出现,菌褶菌髓部呈菌丝与球泡状细胞共同存在的异型分布结构。     

软籽石榴胚离体培养和快繁技术探讨

正确的处理条件以及适宜的植物激素配比在软籽石榴胚培养和快繁技术上起关键性作用。本研究以软籽石榴胚组织为材料,研究确定最适宜软籽石榴发育的胚处理条件、增殖培养基、生根培养基,为软籽石榴的优质高产提供理论依据。通过对比低温(4℃)下不同处理时间(0, 4d,8d, 16 d)和两种不同处理方式(保留种皮,去除部分种皮)、不同植物激素处理、不同炼苗基质对软籽石榴胚培养和快繁的影响,得出结论:石榴果实在4℃下保存4 d,除去部分种皮有利于胚萌发;软籽石榴组培苗最适增殖培养基为MS+0.5 mg/L NAA+0.5 mg/L GA3 +0.5 mg/L 6-BA,试管苗株高3.8 cm、增殖系数达到4.8,其中植物激素对增殖的影响程度6-BA>NAA>GA3;最佳生根培养基为1/4MS+0.1 mg/LIBA+0.1 mg/L PP333,生根率为85%;最佳炼苗基质为泥土,苗成活率达到90%以上且苗长得快而茁壮。该研究通过胚培养技术筛选适宜软籽石榴快速繁育的培养条件,有望为软籽石榴的快速繁殖和培养优良性状的新品种提供依据。     

甘蔗叶不同还田方式对土壤养分的影响

为减轻秸秆焚烧所带来的环境问题和充分利用甘蔗叶资源,在大田环境下动态监测甘蔗叶粉碎、焚烧和深埋3种还田方式对土壤养分的影响。结果表明:甘蔗叶粉碎还田和深埋还田有利于甘蔗叶中有机碳及氮、磷、钾养分的缓慢释放;甘蔗叶焚烧还田提高了土壤碱解氮含量5.6~20.9 mg/kg和速效磷含量0.8~4.0 mg/kg,促进土壤中氮磷向有效态转化,焚烧还田初期显著增加了土壤速效钾的含量12.3~18.3 mg/kg,但焚烧会损失部分甘蔗叶中碳氮元素,也造成环境污染。综合分析认为甘蔗叶粉碎还田是比较省工、方便的处理方式。
