Effect of ERK1/2/c-Fos signal pathway on angiotensin-(1-7) inhibiting proliferation of rat glomerular mesangial cell strain induced by angiotensin Ⅱ

AIM: To investigate the effect of ERK1/2/c-Fos signal pathway during angiotensin-(1-7) inhibiting proliferation of rat glomerular mesangial cell strain (GMCS) induced by angiotensin Ⅱ. METHODS: Rat glomerular mesangial cells (GMC) were co-cultured with angiotensin Ⅱ and different doses of angiotensin-(1-7). The numbers of GMC were evaluated by crystal violet staining. The amounts of p-ERK1/2 and c-Fos expressions were detected by Western blotting. RESULTS: Angiotensin- (1-7) showed its inhibitory effects on GMC number increasing induced by angiotensin Ⅱ as well as the amounts of p-ERK1/2 and c-Fos expressions in a concentration dependent manner. CONCLUSION: ERK/c-Fos signal pathway is involved in the inhibitory effects of angiotensin-(1-7) on angiotensin Ⅱ -induced GMC proliferation.

Construction of Tobacco Bax lnhibitor-1 ihpRNA Gene Silencing Vector and Transformation into Agrobacterium tumefaciens EHA105

The plasmid pGSA1285 was first modified by substituting its GUS sequence with the Chalcone synthase intron fragment from vector pFGC5941 to get the plant silencing expression vector that contained Kanamycin resistance site and was named as pGSA2285. Using PCR-based amplification, two different restriction sites at both ends of tobacco Bax inhibitor-1 (NtBI-1) gene were created, respectively, which made the construction of ihpRNA gene silencing vector more efficiently. Then, NtBI-1 genes were inserted into Multiple Cloning Site (MCS) of pGSA2285 respectively to form Bax inhibitor-1 ihpRNA gene silencing vector, named as pGSA4285, containing sense and anti-sense BI-1 sequence which was spliced by chalcone synthase intron. Combined PCR identification and enzyme restriction analyses, the results showed that Bax inhibitor-1 ihpRNA gene silencing vector had been constructed and transferred into Agrobacterium tumefaciens EHA105 successfully, which laid a foundation for the further study on the function of BI-1 in plant PCD regulation.     

Agrobacterium-Mediated Transfer of Arabidopsis ICE1 Gene into Lemon （Citrus Limon （L.） Burm. F. cv. Eureka）

The Arabidopsis ICEI （inducer of CBF expression 1） gene was cloned through RT-PCR of Arabidopsis cDNAs and introduced into the lemon （Citrus Limon （L.） Burm. F. cv. Eureka） genome using Agrobacterium-mediated transformation method. Epicotyl segments from in vitro grown lemon seedlings were co-cultivated with A. tumefaciens strain EHA 105 carrying the binary plasmid pMVICE1, whose T-DNA region contain ICEI gene driven by 35S CaMV promoter. Among 320 epicotyl segments inoculated, 71 explants responded and regenerated 51 elongated shoots. These shoots were subjected to an extra month of kanamycin exposure. In this way, the number of escapes reduced. Thirteen of 31 survived shoots formed roots and 7 were tested positive using PCR technique. Southern blot analyses confirmed PCR results and demonstrated that more than two copies of the ICE1 gene were integrated into the lemon genome.

Characterization of T-complex polypeptide 1 (TCP-1) from the Chilo suppressalis HSP60 family and its expression in response to temperature stress

Many proteins require assistance from molecular chaperones at various stages to attain correctly folded states and functional conformations during protein synthesis. In this study, the gene encoding T-complex polypeptide 1(TCP-1), which belongs to the heat shock protein 60(HSP60) family, was isolated and characterized from the rice stem borer, Chilo suppressalis, by RACE and q PCR, respectively. The full-length c DNA of Tcp-1 was 2 144 bp and encoded a 1 635-bp ORF; the deduced translational product contained 545 amino acids with 5′-and 3′-UTRs and an isoelectric point of 5.29. Cluster analysis confirmed that the deduced amino acid sequence shared high identity(60–99%) with TCP-1 from other insects. To investigate Tcp-1 expression in response to abiotic stress, q PCR was used to analyze expression levels of Tcp-1 m RNA in C. suppressalis larvae exposed to temperatures ranging from –11 to 43°C. With respect to heat shock, Tcp-1 expression was higher than the control after a 2-h exposure to 30 and 36°C and declined at 39 and 43°C. Difference in Tcp-1 expression was observed at temperatures ranging from –11 to 27°C. q PCR analyses revealed that Tcp-1 expression was the highest in hindgut tissue as compared to heads, epidermis, fat body, foregut, midgut, and malpighian tubules. Our results indicated that Tcp-1 expression was differentially expressed in C. suppressalis tissues, and was impacted by temperature stress.     

油橄榄叶提取物对海洛因依赖小鼠肺组织结构及IL-1β和TNF-α表达的影响

将100只健康小鼠皮下注射海洛因(10mg/kg)40d,然后分别用不同剂量的(50、100、200mg/kg)油橄榄叶提取物(OLE)进行皮下注射治疗,观察肺脏组织结构的变化,检测肺脏中白介素-1β(interleukin-β,IL-β)和肿瘤坏死因子-α(tumor necrosis factor-A,TNF-α)的表达情况.结果表明:与模型对照组相比,OLE使海洛因依赖小鼠肺泡直径、肺泡隔厚度减小,肺脏中IL-1β和TNF-α的表达明显减弱,且呈较好的量效关系,表明OLE能够对海洛因造成的肺损害起到保护作用,其作用机制可能是OLE抑制了IL-1β和TNF-α的在肺中的表达.
