Angiotensin II type 1 receptor autoantibodies induces INS-1 islet β-cell apoptosis by upregulation of autophagy

AIM: To explore whether the angiotensin Ⅱ type 1 receptor autoantibodies (AT1-AA) induces islet β-cell apoptosis and whether autophagy is involved in the process. METHODS: The INS-1 cells treated with AT1-AA at 10^-6 mol/L for 24 h, and then the apoptosis was analyzed by flow cytometry, Western blot and Hoechst 33258 staining. In addition, the expression of autophagy-related proteins such as LC3 and beclin 1 were determined by Western blot. The effects of AT1-AA on the apoptosis, autophagy and viability of INS-1 cells with or without 3-methyladenine (3-MA; a common autophagy inhibitor) or telmisartan (an angiotensin Ⅱ type 1 receptor blocker) pretreatment, were detected by flow cytometry, Western blot and CCK-8 assay. RESULTS: Treatment with AT1-AA at 10^-6 mol/L for 24 h significantly reduced the cell viability (P<0.05). Compared with the negative IgG control group, the apoptotic cells increased after incubation with AT1-AA for 12 h, 24 h and 36 h, respectively (P<0.05). Moreover, the protein levels of LC3 and beclin 1 also increased gradually with the prolongation of treatment time, and the elevation of apoptosis and autophagy were blocked by telmisartan. After pretreatment with 3-MA, the apoptotic rate of the cells was obviously decreased compared with the cells treated with AT1-AA alone. CONCLUSION: AT1-AA induces the apoptosis of INS-1 islet β cells by upregulating autophagy via the angiotensin Ⅱ type 1 receptor pathway.     

国审品种‘苏植1号’杂交结缕草抗旱性初步评价与分析

以‘苏植1号’杂交结缕草为研究对象,‘兰引3号’结缕草为对照品种,采用沙培试验控水处理,根据叶片萎蔫度、叶片相对含水量、根系电解质外渗率和土壤含水量4个指标对‘苏植1号’的抗旱性进行了初步评价,同时分析了两个品种的根系生长特性(根系干重、比根长)和干旱胁迫下最大光化学量子产量(Fv/Fm)的变化特点。结果表明,干旱胁迫过程中,两个品种的叶片萎蔫度逐渐增大,土壤含水量逐渐下降,不同品种的变化趋势相似,胁迫结束时,两个品种的叶片萎蔫度、叶片相对含水量、根系电解质外渗率和土壤含水量均无显著差异,说明‘苏植1号’整体抗旱表现与‘兰引3号’近似。同时,相对于‘兰引3号’而言,虽然‘苏植1号’的根系干重显著较小,但是较大的比根长和干旱胁迫中期较高的Fv/Fm值很可能使‘苏植1号’在一定程度上抵消了较小的根系生物量所带来的不利影响,是其重要的抗旱机制。总体来看,‘苏植1号’与‘兰引3号’抗旱性相当,但两者具有不同的抗旱途径。     

速眠新Ⅱ与舒泰复合麻醉剂对比格犬麻醉效果分析

为了探索速眠新Ⅱ与舒泰复合麻醉剂对比格犬的麻醉效果,选用健康比格犬20只,用速眠新Ⅱ(0.6mg/kg)与舒泰(0.75mg/kg)混合肌注诱导麻醉,30min后给予该混合制剂静脉维持麻醉(每小时速眠新Ⅱ0.2mg/kg,舒泰0.3mg/kg),随麻醉时间延长逐渐减量。结果显示,速眠新Ⅱ与舒泰复合麻醉剂,诱导麻醉迅速,维持麻醉效果安全、稳定,镇痛及肌松等效果良好,麻醉期间能保证动物的正常心肺功能。试验表明该复合麻醉剂是一种理想的麻醉剂,能满足各种外科手术操作需求。     

莠去津土壤残留对4种蔬菜生长及叶绿素荧光参数的影响

为了明确莠去津土壤残留对后茬蔬菜的影响,在室内采用毒土添加法研究了莠去津不同土壤残留量对黄瓜、豇豆、辣椒和菜薹光合作用和幼苗生长的影响。结果表明:莠去津土壤残留量为0.21、1.84、0.24、0.11 mg·kg~(-1)时,导致黄瓜、豇豆、辣椒和菜薹叶片PSⅡ最大光化学效率(Fv/Fm)下降10%;4种蔬菜分别在接近此有效成分剂量时(黄瓜0.2mg·kg~(-1)、豇豆2 mg·kg~(-1)、辣椒0.2 mg·kg~(-1)、菜薹0.1 mg·kg~(-1)),电子传递速率(ETRⅡ)显著下降,且单株鲜质量抑制率达到50%;4种蔬菜对莠去津土壤残留的敏感性顺序为:菜薹黄瓜辣椒豇豆;Fv/Fm可作为早期预知轮作蔬菜是否受到莠去津残留潜在药害的指标,Fv/Fm的ID_(10)为轮作蔬菜是否受药害的临界值。     

胸膜肺炎放线杆菌3种Apx毒素及外膜蛋白Omp2的原核表达及免疫反应性鉴定

猪传染性胸膜肺炎是猪群一种常见的细菌性疾病,给养猪业造成了巨大的经济损失。为了对胸膜肺炎放线杆菌的感染情况进行监测,本研究设计了针对该菌毒素ApxⅠ、ApxⅡ、ApxⅢ和外膜蛋白Omp2的全基因PCR扩增引物,以实验室保存的血清2型和5型菌株基因组DNA作为模板成功扩增出特异性基因片段,分别将目的片段克隆入原核表达载体成功构建重组表达质粒pColdI-omp2、pColdI-ApxⅡ、pET-32am-ApxⅠ、pCold-ProS2-ApxⅢ。将重组质粒转化Rosetta感受态细胞,通过IPTG诱导表达,应用His单克隆抗体和临床阳性猪血清对表达的重组蛋白上清进行Western blot分析,结果表明表达蛋白的分子量大小与预期相符,通过诱导条件的优化可以稳定表达可溶性蛋白,可溶性蛋白能与His单克隆抗体和临床阳性猪血清发生特异性反应,证明重组蛋白具有良好的免疫反应性。该试验为后期建立胸膜肺炎放线杆菌抗体的ELISA检测方法奠定基础。     

Effects of arginine vasopressin on subunit phosphorylation of GABAA receptors in rat preoptic area

AIM: To investigate the effects of arginine vasopressin (AVP) on the expression and phosphorylation of γ-aminobutyric acid (GABA) subtype A receptor (GABA_A receptor) subunits in the preoptic area (POA) of rats. METHODS: The rats were divided into AVP group (n=10), AVP+V1a receptor blocker group (n=10), V1a receptor blocker group (n=10) and control group (n=10). After intraperitoneal injection of AVP or V1a receptor antagonist for 0.5 h, the changes of the expression and phosphorylation of POA GABA_A receptor subunits (α, β and γ2) were analyzed by RT-qPCR and Western blot. RESULTS: Compared with control group, no significant change of GABA_A receptor subunit expression in the rats injected with AVP or V1a receptor antagonist was observed. AVP up-regulated the phosphorylation level of POA GABA_A receptor γ2 subunit (P<0.05), and significantly increased the expression and phosphorylation of protein kinase C (PKC) and calcium/calmodulin-dependent protein kinase Ⅱ (CaMKⅡ). CONCLUSION: Exogenous AVP has no effect on expression of POA GABA_A receptor subunits (α, β and γ2) and is involved in modulation of GABAergic synaptic transmission in the POA by activation of PKC and CaMKⅡ and phosphorylation of γ2 subunit via V1a receptor.
