水稻齿叶矮缩病毒Pns10蛋白在水稻原生质体内的表达

【目的】水稻齿叶矮缩病毒(Rice ragged stunt virus,RRSV)Pns10蛋白在介体昆虫细胞内可形成类似病毒原质(viroplasm)的内含体,是RRSV侵染介体所必需。然而Pns10蛋白在水稻寄主中是否具有类似功能及其表达情况如何未见报道。【方法】利用大肠杆菌系统表达Pns10蛋白,免疫家兔制备多克隆抗体;通过水稻原生质体病毒侵染体系,利用免疫荧光技术分析Pns10蛋白在水稻原生质体内的分布情况,利用实时定量PCR技术和Western blot技术分别检测Pns10 RNA和Pns10蛋白在水稻原生质体内的积累情况。【结果】将Pns10基因克隆到Gateway系统原核表达载体p DEST17中,IPTG诱导表达成功后,制备融合蛋白抗血清。Western blot检测显示,该抗血清可检测感病水稻叶片中的Pns10蛋白。病毒侵染水稻原生质体后,Pns10蛋白可形成类似病毒原质的内含体;Pns10 RNA在病毒接种8 h后开始积累,24 h后达到最大值,随后开始下降;Pns10蛋白在24 h后开始表达,之后维持较高水平,60 h后略有下降。【结论】成功获得了Pns10抗血清;Pns10在水稻原生质体内成功表达,可形成类似病毒原质的内含体,并且Pns10 RNA的表达先于其蛋白的表达。     

IL-33/ST2 axis in systemic lupus erythematosus in relation to chronic kidney injury and disease activity

AIM: To elucidate the association between chronic kidney injury and interleukin-33 (IL-33; an alarmin)/suppression of tumorigencity 2 (ST2) in patients with systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE).METHODS: Serum levels of IL-33 and soluble ST2 (sST2) were assessed by ELISA in 50 SLE patients and 30 healthy controls (HC).RESULTS: The levels of IL-33 and sST2, and IL-33/sST2 ratio were significantly higher in SLE patients than those in the HC. The IL-33 and sST2 levels were positively associated with SLE disease activity index (SLEDAI), erythrocyte sedimentation rate (ESR), proteinuria and triglyceride, but negatively associated with complement C3. IL-33/sST2 ratio was positively associated with SLEDAI and estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR). Independent explanatory variables associated with high IL-33/sST2 included chronic kidney disease (CKD) staging and albumin (R²=0.442), especially CKD staging.CONCLUSION: Elevated serum sST2 and IL-33 levels in SLE patients are correlated with disease activity and risk factors of kidney injury. IL-33/sST2 ratio may serve as a potential biomarker for chronic kidney injury in SLE patients.     

基于MODIS数据的2001—2016年内蒙古积雪分布及其变化趋势

积雪融水是干旱区重要的水资源之一,积雪分布变化的监测对区域雪冰资源的合理利用及灾害防治至关重要。基于内蒙古地区2001-2016年MOD10A2积雪数据对研究区进行分带提取,分析不同海拔高度积雪年内年际变化特征,结合气温和降水气象因素,分析其分布变化原因。研究表明:积雪面积、积雪覆盖率年内分布呈单峰形,10个海拔带的积雪期为9月到次年5月,峰值出现在冬季,积雪覆盖率增减的临界高度在952~1 114 m;不同高程带的积雪面积在春季、夏季、秋季整体上呈现出"增加-减少-增加-减少"的年际变化规律,冬季整体上表现出"减少-增加-减少"的变化规律;积雪面积受降水量和气温相互的影响,其中海拔高度可能起到间接作用。内蒙古地区春季、冬季积雪覆盖率均与冬季降水量呈显著正相关,各季节积雪覆盖率基本与温度呈负相关关系。     

Neuroprotective effect of novel Rho kinase inhibitor FSD-C10 on a mouse model of Alzheimer disease

AIM: To explore the neuroprotective effect of novel Rho kinase inhibitor FSD-C10 on Alzheimer disease (AD) model of APP/PS1 double transgenic (Tg) mice. METHODS: Male APP/PS1 Tg mice (n=20) at 8 months of age were randomly divided into 2 groups:model group and FSD-C10 treatment group. The mice were treated with normal saline or FSD-C10 (25 mg·kg^-1·d^-1) by intraperitoneal injection, once daily for 2 months. Age-and sex-matched wild-type (WT) mice without treatment were used as the control. The Morris water maze (MWM) test and SMART 3.0 behavioral record system were applied to examine and analyze the spatial cognitive function of the mice. The protein levels and distribution of Aβ, p-tau and synapse-associated proteins such as synaptophysin, α-amino-3-hydroxy-5-methyl-4-isoxazolepropionic acid receptor (AMPAR) and postsynaptic density protein 95 (PSD-95) were determined by immunofluorescence staining. The protein levels of phosphorylated amyloid precursor protein at Thr668[p-APP(Thr668)], beta-site APP-cleaving enzyme 1 (BACE1) and synapse-associated proteins in the brain were analyzed by Western blot. RESULTS: Compared with model group, FSD-C10 treatment significantly improved the cognitive function of the APP/PS1 Tg mice, accompanied by reduced Aβ deposition and p-tau level, increased protein level of p-APP (Thr668) in the central nervous system, decreased expression of BACE1, and increased expression of synapse-associated proteins in the brain of the mice (P<0.05). CONCLUSION: FSD-C10 has neuroprotective potential in the APP/PS1 Tg mice. The mechanism may be related to enhancing the non-amyloidogenic APP cleavage pathway, reducing the production of Aβ oligomers, the deposition of senile plaques and the amount of tau protein, up-regulating synapse-associated proteins, and increasing synaptic plasticity.

Grazing intensity alters soil respiration in an alpine meadow on the Tibetan plateau

Grazing intensity may alter the soil respiration rate in grassland ecosystems. The objectives of our study were to (1) determine the influence of grazing intensity on temporal variations in soil respiration of an alpine meadow on the northeastern Tibetan Plateau; and (2) characterise the temperature response of soil respiration under different grazing intensities. Diurnal and seasonal soil respiration rates were measured for two alpine meadow sites with different grazing intensities. The light grazing (LG) meadow site had a grazing intensity of 2.55 sheep ha⁻¹, while the grazing intensity of the heavy grazing (HG) meadow site, 5.35 sheep ha⁻¹, was approximately twice that of the LG site. Soil respiration measurements showed that CO₂ efflux was almost twice as great at the LG site as at the HG site during the growing season, but the diurnal and seasonal patterns of soil respiration rate were similar for the two sites. Both exhibited the highest annual soil respiration rate in mid-August and the lowest in January. Soil respiration rate was highly dependent on soil temperature. The Q₁₀ value for annual soil respiration was lower for the HG site (2.75) than for the LG site (3.22). Estimates of net ecosystem CO₂ exchange from monthly measurements of biomass and soil respiration revealed that during the period from May 1998 to April 1999, the LG site released 2040 g CO₂ m⁻² y⁻¹ to the atmosphere, which was about one third more than the 1530 g CO₂ m⁻² y⁻¹ released at the HG site. The results suggest that (1) grazing intensity alters not only soil respiration rate, but also the temperature dependence of soil CO₂ efflux; and (2) soil temperature is the major environmental factor controlling the temporal variation of soil respiration rate in the alpine meadow ecosystem.
