小花棘豆溶血毒素对兔脑神经细胞线粒体的影响

本研究首次证明小花棘豆(Oxytropis glabra DC)溶血毒素对兔脑神经细胞线粒体的结构和功能有显著影响,即:抑制线粒体细胞色素氧化酶和琥珀酸脱氢酶活力,降低氧化磷酸化效率(ADP/O)、呼吸控制率(RCR),使呼吸激活迟缓,并引起线粒体超微结构的异常变化。该毒素还引起线粒体中至少两种分子量不同的蛋白质(MW=63000和55000)的裂解,其性质尚待进一步查明。     

冷冻保存对公猪精子功能的影响

试验旨在探究公猪精液冷冻保存对其精子功能的影响。取长白猪的鲜精和优质冻精,用精子分析仪检测精子的运动能力,台盼蓝染色检测精子活率,体外受精（IVF）试验检测卵裂率与囊胚率,采用不同功能检测试剂盒检测冻精和鲜精的顶体完整率、线粒体膜通道孔（MPTP）活性、线粒体膜电位（MMP）、线粒体活性、线粒体氧化应激活性氧（ROS）以及精子DNA完整性,实时荧光定量PCR检测弱精子症相关蛋白基因SMCP、TEKT3、DNAH1、TCTE3的表达。结果表明,与猪鲜精相比,猪冻精的活率及活力均显著降低（P<0.05）,冻精的顶体完整率也明显下降（P<0.05）;冻精的卵裂率和囊胚率显著低于鲜精（P<0.05）;精子线粒体功能分析结果显示,冻精的MPTP相对荧光单位值（RFU）、线粒体膜电位荧光比率以及线粒体活性光密度（OD）值均显著低于鲜精（P<0.05）;精子线粒体ROS检测发现,冻精的RFU值显著高于鲜精（P<0.05）;精子DNA完整性检测结果显示,冻精拖尾率显著高于鲜精（P<0.05）;而弱精子症相关蛋白基因的表达与鲜精相比,差异不显著（P>0.05）。综上所述,冷冻导致猪精子活率、活力、线粒体功能、DNA完整性下降,最终使得冷冻精液精子的受精能力降低。     

硅对盐胁迫下黄瓜根系线粒体呼吸作用及脂质过氧化的影响

以黄瓜根系离体线粒体为研究对象,观察了盐胁迫对线粒体辅酶Q10(CoQ.10)、脂质过氧化物(LPO)、过氧化氢(H2O2)含量和线粒体呼吸功能及其有关酶的影响,以及盐胁迫下添加外源Si后这些指标的变化。试验设对照(CK)、盐胁迫(NaCl)、和盐胁迫加硅(NaCl+Si)。结果表明,盐胁迫下线粒体H2O2和丙二醛(MDA)的含量显著增加,线粒体膜流动性降低,CoQ10含量下降,与能量代谢相关的ATP酶及呼吸酶细胞色素c氧化酶(CCO)显著下降,引起线粒体膜损伤。加入外源Si后,线粒体H2O2和MDA的含量降低,膜流动性增加,CoQ10含量、ATP酶及细胞色素c氧化酶活力增加。表明Si可能通过促进线粒体ATPase与CCO活性的恢复,CoQ10含量的增加及减少氧自由基的损害而对线粒体产生保护作用,提高线粒体的氧化磷酸化及能量代谢,从而提高线粒体的呼吸作用。     

A comparative study of microsporogenesis and anther wall development in different types of genic and cytoplasmic male sterilities in chives

A new cytoplasmic and two genic male sterilities in chives are compared with male‐fertile counterparts for anther development and microsporogenesis. The genic male sterilities (wi and st1) fail to produce viable pollen, since microsporogenesis is stopped around the stage of tetrads. Compared with a previously described cytoplasmic male sterility, CMS₁, which also shows alterations during this stage, wi‐ and st1‐sterile plants fail to produce pollen walls. The last two male sterilities are very similar in development but can be distinguished by the missing breakdown of callose in st1‐sterile plants. In contrast to the sterilities described above, the second cytoplasmic male sterility, CMS₂, is caused by functional damages to sporophytic tissues, such as no degeneration of mesothecium cells and no thickening of the endothecial cell walls. These alterations prevent the release of pollen, although they are normally developed.     

Induction of cytoplasmic male sterility in the seed progeny derived from artificially-synthesized interspecific chimera in Brassica

We produced artificial interspecific chimeras by in vitro grafting, and obtained cytoplasmic male sterile (CMS) variants in the seed progenies derived from backcrossing the chimera with one of the mother plants, B. campestris cv. Komatsuna. The induced CMS has been stably inherited by crossing it with `Komatsuna', not with `Ruby Ball' cabbage. The nuclear component of CMS is complete `Komatsuna' type in morphology, chromosome number (2n = 20) and Southern blot using ribosomal 17S RNA gene as a probe. PCR analysis by using mitochondrial atpA primer showed the complete `Ruby Ball' type, suggesting nuclear-cytoplasmic exchange. However, Southern blot patterns were different among those of the CMS and both parents by using atpA. Recombination or some unknown change is supposed in the mitochondrial genome via the processes of synthesis and propagation of the chimeras.

基于线粒体COII和ND4基因序列的塔里木裂腹鱼群体遗传多样性分析

为探究塔里木裂腹鱼群体的遗传多样性和遗传分化现状,选用车尔臣河、克孜勒河和阿克苏河3个不同地理种群的塔里木裂腹鱼共计126尾样本,进行线粒体DNA COII和ND4基因序列的对比分析,探讨了2种标记对塔里木裂腹鱼遗传多样性分析结果的差异和关系。结果显示,塔里木裂腹鱼线粒体DNA COII和ND4基因序列的A+T含量均高于G+C含量,碱基组成具有偏倚性。基于线粒体DNA COII和ND4基因序列分析,126个样本中分别确定了6个和23个单倍型,其中线粒体DNA COII基因序列中3个群体存在共享单倍型现象,线粒体DNA ND4基因序列中未发现3个群体间存在共享单倍型。2种标记下群体的单倍型多样性和核苷酸多样性分别为0.738±0.019/0.904±0.014和0.02129±0.00298/0.04876±0.00149,呈现出高单倍型多态性和高核苷酸多态性的特征。2种标记的分子方差分析（AMOVA）均表明,在所有群体中遗传变异主要来源于群体间,且车尔臣河群体的塔里木裂腹鱼与其他2个群体的遗传分化均达到显著水平（P<0.05）。贝叶斯法（BI）构建的BI树与单倍型网络图结构一致,塔里木裂腹鱼形成了2个分支。COII和ND4基因序列的岐点分布图均呈现双峰型,表明塔里木裂腹鱼现在的分布是先前分化种群发生二次交流的结果。种群结构分析结果亦表明塔里木裂腹鱼已分化出2个明显的地理种群,故建议将车尔臣河群体作为塔里木裂腹鱼的亚种。

Decreased Sperm Quality in Mice Fed a Diet with Fish Oil

Polyunsaturated fatty acids ( PUFAs )play an important role in sperm quality and fertility.This study was conducted to investigate the effect of dietary supplementation with PUFAs on male mice reproductive capacity.Mice were fed a diet of 4％ soybean oil (SO),4％ fish oil (FO),or 4％ conjugated linoleic acid (CLA) for 30 days.Litter sizes and sperm quality were measured during the study.Litter size decreased in females mated with FO group males.Although sperm total number,motility,and in virto fertilization did not differ among treatments,the proportion of intact sperm membrane decreased in the FO group compared to other groups.This was supported by the increased proportion of damaged sperm membrane in the FO group.Furthermore,the percentage of high mitochonddal membrane potential (MMP) declined,but the percentage of low MMP was increased by dietary FO and CLA supplementation compared to the SO group.Sperm membrane phospholipid in mice receiving the FO diet had a higher concentration of docosapentenoic acid ( C22 ∶5n-3,DPA ),docosahexaneoic acid ( C22 ∶ 6n-3,DHA),and n-3 PUFAs,but lower levels of arachidonic acid ( C20∶4n-6,AA) and n-6 PUFAs compared to those receiving the SO diet.These data suggest that decreased sperm quality in mice fed a FO diet may be due to excessive DPA and DHA in the membrane.
