Oncolytic Vaccinia Virus Carrying Aphrocallistes vastus Lectin (oncoVV-AVL) Enhances Inflammatory Response in Hepatocellular Carcinoma Cells

Aphrocallistes vastus lectin (AVL) is a C-type marine lectin derived from sponges. Our previous study demonstrated that oncolytic vaccinia virus carrying AVL (oncoVV-AVL) significantly enhanced the cytotoxicity of oncoVV in cervical cancer, colorectal cancer and hepatocellular carcinoma through the activation of Ras/ERK, MAPK/ERK and PI3K/Akt signaling pathways. In this study, the inflammatory response induced by oncoVV-AVL in a hepatocellular carcinoma cell (HCC) model was investigated. The results showed that oncoVV-AVL increased the levels of inflammatory cytokines including IL-6, IL-8 and TNF-α through activating the AP-1 signaling pathway in HCC. This study provides novel insights into the utilization of lectin AVL in the field of cancer therapy.

外源钙对干旱胁迫下木豆种苗生理特性的影响

通过模拟贵州岩溶地区土壤富钙的生境（CK和50 mmol·L^-1 CaCl₂）,以岩溶地区常见饲用灌木木豆（Cajanus cajan）为材料,研究外源钙对干旱胁迫（CK,5%,10%,20% PEG-6000）下木豆种子的萌发率、保护性酶活性（SOD,POD,CAT）及可溶性蛋白质和GSH含量的变化。结果表明：木豆种子萌发随着干旱胁迫的增强而呈显著线性下降趋势（P<0.01）,施加外源钙对其无显著影响;随着干旱胁迫的增强保护酶SOD和POD成指数关系,CAT成负二次关系;施加外源钙能显著提高低浓度干旱胁迫下木豆种子SOD和POD活性;可溶性蛋白质和GSH含量随着干旱胁迫的增强呈现指数和二次曲线关系,施加外源钙显著提高了木豆种子可溶性蛋白质和GSH含量（P<0.05）。表明外源钙的施加能缓解木豆种子受到的干旱伤害,提高木豆苗期抗旱性。     

北方农牧交错带土地利用及其生态背景分析

在遥感和地理信息系统技术支持下,提取年降水量、≥10℃积温、年平均风速、海拔高度、坡度等数据作为生态背景基本要素,基于NOAA/AVHRR影像分类而成的北方农牧交错带全样带1989年和2000年两期土地利用数据进行空间分析,分别研究单一和复合生态背景下土地利用的时空变化特征及其与生态背景的关系。结果表明:年降水量和年平均风速对土地利用变化的影响较为明显,特别是在坡度<15°的区域,降水对耕地和草地、年平均风速对林地和草地的影响均比较明显。≥10℃积温的变化与土地利用关系则不明显。耕地、林地、草地和城镇用地主要分布在海拔1 000~3 500 m和500 m以下、坡度为15°以下的地区,水域主要分布在海拔200 m以下、坡度为5°以下的地区。

Ameliorative Effects of Oyster Protein Hydrolysates on Cadmium-Induced Hepatic Injury in Mice

Cadmium (Cd) is a widespread environmental toxicant that can cause severe hepatic injury. Oyster protein hydrolysates (OPs) have potential effects on preventing liver disease. In this study, thirty mice were randomly divided into five groups: the control, Cd, Cd + ethylenediaminetetraacetic acid (EDTA, 100 mg/kg), and low/high dose of OPs-treatment groups (100 mg/kg or 300 mg/kg). After continuous administration for 7 days, the ameliorative effect of OPs on Cd-induced acute hepatic injury in Cd-exposed mice was assessed. The results showed that OPs significantly improved the liver function profiles (serum ALT, AST, LDH, and ALP) in Cd-exposed mice. Histopathological analysis showed that OPs decreased apoptotic bodies, hemorrhage, lymphocyte accumulation, and inflammatory cell infiltration around central veins. OPs significantly retained the activities of SOD, CAT, and GSH-Px, and decreased the elevated hepatic MDA content in Cd-exposed mice. In addition, OPs exhibited a reductive effect on the inflammatory responses (IL-1β, IL-6, and TNF-α) and inhibitory effects on the expression of inflammation-related proteins (MIP-2 and COX-2) and the ERK/NF-κB signaling pathway. OPs suppressed the development of hepatocyte apoptosis (Bax, caspase-3, and Blc-2) and the activation of the PI3K/AKT signaling pathway in Cd-exposed mice. In conclusion, OPs ameliorated the Cd-induced hepatic injury by inhibiting oxidative damage and inflammatory responses, as well as the development of hepatocyte apoptosis via regulating the ERK/NF-κB and PI3K/AKT-related signaling pathways.

利用ELISA方法测定近等基因系玉米(Zeamays)对生、互生玉米的不同组织和不同生育期内源细胞分裂素ZRs(zeatin riboside group)、DHZRs(dehydro zeatin riboside group)、iPAs(isopentenyladenosine group)以及内源生长素IAA(indole acetic acid)含量差异。结果表明,不同叶序玉米在不同生育期幼胚、成熟花粉和成熟叶片的内源ZRs、DHZRs、iPAs和IAA均无显著差异;不同生育期对生叶序玉米幼苗顶端分生组织和成熟苗顶端雄幼穗ZRs、DHZRs和iPAs含量显著高于同期近等基因系的互生玉米,IAA含量在两者之间无显著差异;对生叶序玉米幼苗顶端分生组织、成熟苗顶端雄幼穗CTK/IAA(CTK表示ZRs、DHZRs和iPAs含量相加)比值显著高于同期近等基因系互生叶序玉米,但在不同生育期幼胚、叶片及花粉内均无显著差异。对生叶序的形成与生长点组织细胞分裂素含量增加密切相关。     

miR-21:生成、表达调控及对其细胞凋亡的影响

凋亡是细胞的一种基本生物学现象,在机体生命过程中发挥着重要作用。miRNAs是在真核生物内发现的一类长度约22个核苷酸的内源性非编码单链小RNA,通过调控靶基因的表达参与调控细胞的凋亡、分化、增殖、侵袭和代谢。大量的研究表明,miR-21作为miRNAs重要成员之一,与细胞凋亡有重要联系。本文将从miR-21的生成、表达调控及对细胞凋亡的影响方面进行综述。
