Effect of miRNA-33 on ABCA1/ABCG1 expression in RAW264.7 macrophage-derived foam cells after Hcy treatment

AIM:To study whether homocysteine (Hcy) inhibits the expression of ATP-binding cassette transporter A1 (ABCA1) and ATP-binding cassette transporter G1 (ABCG1) by microRNA-33 (miRNA-33) signaling, and reduces the efficiency of reverse cholesterol transport (RCT).METHODS:RAW264.7 macrophages were induced by oxidized low-density lipoprotein (ox-LDL) to establish foam cell model. Oil red O staining was used to determine whether the model was established successfully. miRNA-33 mimics and miRNA-33 inhibitor were transfected into the cells by Lipofectamine 2000, and the cells were exposed to Hcy at concentration of 5 mmol/L for 24 h. The intracellular lipid droplets were observed by Oil red O staining. The expression of ABCA1 and ABCG1 at mRNA and protein levels was determined by real-time PCR and Western blot. The cellular cholesterol content was analyzed by HPLC, and effluent rate of cholesterol was detected by the method of liquid scintillation counting.RESULTS:Compared with blank control group, the lipid content in miRNA-33 mimics group was increased, and the expression of ABCA1 and ABCG1 at mRNA and protein levels was decreased (P<0.05). The intracellular cholesterol content was increased gradually (P<0.05), and the cellular cholesterol efflux rate was gradually decreased (P<0.05) in miRNA-33 mimics group. Compared with blank control group, the testing results in miRNA-33 inhibitor group were the opposition of those in miRNA-33 mimics group (P<0.05). No diffe-rence of the above indexes among blank control group, miRNA-33 mimics-NC group and miRNA-33 inhibitor-NC group was observed.CONCLUSION:Hcy inhibits the mRNA and protein expression of ABCA1 and ABCG1 through miRNA-33 signaling, and reduces the efficiency of RCT in RAW264.7 macrophage-derived foam cells.

晚熟温州蜜柑NBS-LRR类抗病基因同源序列的克隆及分析

为加深对柑橘黄龙病抗性机理的了解和为黄龙病抗性基因的克隆提供依据,根据已知植物抗病基因NBS-LRR保守结构域设计简并引物,以柑橘黄龙病抗性品种"晚熟温州蜜柑"为供试材料,对其基因组DNA进行PCR扩增、克隆和序列测定,结果共获得17条抗病基因同源序列(resistance gene analogs,RGAs),其在NCBI中的登录号为KJ019189~KJ019199,KR815564~KR815569。序列分析表明,这17个RGAs与甜橙、柚等柑橘属中推测的一些抗病蛋白基因或其他相关蛋白基因具有显著高的同源性。其中一些RGAs与拟南芥抗霜霉病RPP13基因、柑橘抗衰退病毒基因Ctv或烟草抗TMV基因N具有51.7%~79.0%的氨基酸序列同源性。依据论文结果,笔者认为,晚熟温州蜜柑中存在较丰富的NBS-LRR类抗病基因,但具体哪些病基因与抗黄龙病相关尚需进一步研究。     

Insulin and IGF-I receptors and tyrosine kinase activity in carp ovaries: changes with reproductive cycle

Insulin and insulin-like growth factor I (IGF-I) receptors from carp ovaries were semipurified with wheat germ agglutinin at different moments of the reproductive cycle and their binding characteristics and tyrosine kinase activity were studied. Specific receptors for insulin and IGF-I were found. IGF-I receptors presented higher binding (23.8 ± 1.5%), number of receptors (965 ± 20fm/mg) and affinity (K_D 0.24 ± 0.03nM) than those shown for insulin receptors (4.1 ± 1%, 530 ± 85fm/mg and 0.85 ± 0.1nM, respectively). Insulin and IGF-I receptors have a tyrosine kinase activity which is not different from that found in muscle of the same species. Seasonal changes were found in binding, with maximum values for insulin and IGF-I reached at the end of pre-spawning period (June). However, while IGF-I binding was observed in all stages, insulin binding decreased in autumn and disappeared in winter, which suggests a different role for the two peptides in ovarian physiology.

我国高赖氨酸玉米种质资源狭窄,opaque-2(o2)突变基因能大幅提高玉米赖氨酸含量,通过分子标记辅助选择构建o2玉米近等基因系并检测其赖氨酸含量具有重要意义。其中,要解决的两个关键问题是如何准确地将不同供体的o2突变基因导入受体系和如何快速地检测导入系的赖氨酸含量。本研究利用O2基因内紧密连锁的SSR共显性标记引物phi057检测玉米供体和受体自交系的多态性,利用其特异性和共显性构建o2近等基因系;参考已有研究,改进染料结合(DBL)法,测定18组构建成功的o2近等基因系的赖氨酸含量。结果表明,不仅在不同供体(CA339和山东2548)之间存在多态性,而且在不同受体系间也存在多态性,利用phi057能够成功地将不同供体的o2突变基因导入受体系,构建o2近等基因系;改进的DBL法分析表明,不同受体系赖氨酸含量变化较大,不同背景的受体系导入o2突变基因后赖氨酸含量增加的幅度差异也较大;普通玉米自交系间赖氨酸含量为0.223%~0.368%,构建成功的不同o2近等基因系间,赖氨酸含量为0.373%~0.527%,与受体亲本相比,赖氨酸增加幅度最低为13%,最高为74%。分析表明,phi057能准确筛选导入o2突变基因的受体系,结合改进的DBL法能快速地选择赖氨酸含量高的玉米。     

改性腐殖酸对染料甲基紫的吸附研究

[目的]研究改性腐殖酸对甲基紫的吸附特性。[方法]以甲基紫染料为例,研究改性腐殖酸对有机染料废水的吸附特性,同时考察温度、吸附时间、吸附剂用量、离子强度对吸附的影响。[结果]酸性条件有利于改性腐殖酸吸附甲基紫。随着吸附时间的延长,改性腐殖酸对甲基紫的吸附量增加,24 h后,吸附作用基本达到平衡。随着温度的升高,吸附量增加,腐殖酸对甲基紫的吸附是吸热反应。随着离子强度的增加,吸附量呈下降趋势。当改性腐殖酸的用量为0.8 g时,其对甲基紫的去除率达98.34%。25℃下,改性腐殖酸对甲基紫的吸附用Frendlich方程拟合效果最佳。[结论]改性腐殖酸对甲基紫具有很好的吸附作用,在染料工业废水处理中具有一定的应用价值。
