转大豆铁结合蛋白基因水稻的初步研究

采用冻融法将含有大豆铁结合基因的质粒pGTV-35S-fer转入农杆菌菌株LBA4404中,以宁夏4个水稻主栽品种为受体材料,通过农杆菌介导法转化水稻愈伤组织,经2轮次除草剂筛选获得了再生植株。经过对转化植株的PCR扩增检测,证明外源大豆铁结合基因已经转入宁夏水稻植株中。大豆铁结合蛋白基因在水稻种子中特异表达,转基因植株种子中的铁含量是未转化植株的1.7~2.2倍。     

An improved ferritin assay for canine sera

An improved serum ferritin assay for canine serum has been developed. It uses two monoclonal antibodies in a sandwich arrangement. Serum ferritin can be determined on undiluted canine sera with this assay. The recovery of ferritin added to canine serum ranged from 98 to 106%, the within-assay coefficient of variability was 3.3 to 4.5%, and the assay-to-assay variability was 9.8 to 10.2%. Serum ferritin from 61 apparently healthy dogs had a geometric mean of 252 ng/ml, with a range of 80 ng/ml to 800 ng/ml.

母婴间铁锌铜代谢关系的研究

同步检测了１２６例对正常产妇及其产生儿，采用原子吸收分光光度法测定血清和红细胞铁、锌、铜含量并用放射免疫法测定血清和红细胞铁。结果：（１）血清铁蛋白≥１４μｇ／Ｌ的产妇，其婴儿脐血清铁蛋白高于母亲血清蛋白〈１４μｇ／Ｌ的婴儿，但两组婴儿的血红蛋白，血清铁，红细胞的及红细胞铁蛋白含量相近。（２）婴儿脐血清锌高于母血，而红细胞锌则低于母血；（３）婴儿脐血清铜显著低于母血，而红细胞铅则高于母血。     

大豆铁蛋白cDNA的克隆及植物表达载体的构建

以大豆为材料,利用RT-PCR法扩增得到大小约750bp的片段,将这个片段连接到克隆载体pBlueskript SK＋上进行测序,结果证明,此片段就是大豆的铁蛋白基因。将此片段再正向插入到植物表达载体pBI121的CaMV35s启动子和NOS终止子之间,构建了植物表达载体pBIFe,并成功地将该载体导入根癌农杆菌EHA105。此项工作为获得表达铁蛋白的转基因植物奠定了基础。     

夏训对优秀皮划艇运动员铁调素等铁营养状况以及IL-6的影响

目的：探讨夏训对优秀运动员铁调素等铁营养状况以及IL-6的影响。方法：广东省优秀皮划艇运动员26人(男15人,女11人)参加测试,调查夏训前和夏训后血红蛋白、铁调素、可溶性转铁蛋白受体、血清铁蛋白、可溶性转铁蛋白受体/log铁蛋白、血清铁、总铁结合力、转铁蛋白饱和度以及白介素6变化情况。结果：夏训后,男运动员组铁调素和可溶性转铁蛋白受体极显著上升(P<0.01)、血清铁蛋白极显著下降(P<0.01),可溶性转铁蛋白受体/log铁蛋白显著上升(P<0.05),总铁结合力显著下降(P<0.05),白介素6极显著上升(P<0.01)。女运动员组血红蛋白显著降低(P<0.05),铁调素和可溶性转铁蛋白受体极显著上升(P<0.01),血清铁蛋白极显著下降(P<0.01),可溶性转铁蛋白受体/log铁蛋白极显著上升(P<0.01),白介素6极显著上升(P<0.01)。结论：夏训可引起运动员炎症因子升高、铁调素升高,导致功能铁不足;铁调素介导的铁代谢紊乱可能是运动性低血色素发生的重要原因。     

Shotgun and TMT-Labeled Proteomic Analysis of the Ovarian Proteins of an Insect Vector,Aedes aegypti (Diptera: Culicidae)

Aedes aegypti [Linnaeus in Hasselquist; yellow fever mosquito] transmits several viruses that infect millions of people each year, including Zika, dengue, yellow fever, chikungunya, and West Nile. Pathogen transmission occurs during blood feeding. Only the females blood feed as they require a bloodmeal for oogenesis; in the bloodmeal, holo-transferrin and hemoglobin provide the females with a high iron load. We are interested in the effects of the bloodmeal on the expression of iron-associated proteins in oogenesis. Previous data showed that following digestion of a bloodmeal, ovarian iron concentrations doubles by 72 hr. We have used shotgun proteomics to identify proteins expressed in Ae. aegypti ovaries at two oogenesis developmental stages following blood feeding, and tandem mass tag-labeling proteomics to quantify proteins expressed at one stage following feeding of a controlled iron diet. Our findings provide the first report of mosquito ovarian protein expression in early and late oogenesis. We identify proteins differentially expressed in the two oogenesis development stages. We establish that metal-associated proteins play an important role in Ae. aegypti oogenesis and we identify new candidate proteins that might be involved in mosquito iron metabolism. Finally, this work identified a unique second ferritin light chain subunit, the first reported in any species. The shotgun proteomic data are available via ProteomeXchange with identifier PXD005893, while the tandem mass tag-labeled proteomic data are available with identifier PXD028242.
