应用赤霉素不同浓度和不同处理频率对君子兰品种"油匠"进行处理.结果表明:与对照相比各浓度赤霉素(GA3)处理对植株提高抽葶率、提早花期、促进叶生长都有明显作用.每天喷施1次200 mg/L赤霉素后植株的抽葶率高于其他处理,50 mg/L赤霉素可以明显促进君子兰的花葶生长.应用50mg/L和200mg/L赤霉素均可使君子兰提前21 d开花,经过50mg/L赤霉素处理后,花朵和果实数量多于其他处理.     

猪解耦联蛋白基因3(UCP3)3''''侧翼区突变位点多态性及其对胴体、肉质性状的影响

利用PCR-RFLP技术,分析了猪解耦联蛋白基因3(UCP3)的3'侧翼区一碱基变异区Ava I位点的多态性在不同猪群体间的基因型分布及其多态性对猪胴体、肉质性状的影响.结果表明经x2独立性检验,发现该多态片段3种基因类型在各品种间分布不一致,杜洛克与中国地方猪种淮南猪、二花脸猪、清平猪、八眉猪相比差异极显著(P＜0.01),中国地方猪种间比较差异均不显著(P＞0.05);采用最小二乘法以及回归法分析了大白×梅山资源家系F2代139头个体的Ava Ⅰ位点多态性与相应的胴体、肉质性状的连锁关系,未发现该位点对猪胴体、肉质性状的显著性影响.UCP3基因3'侧翼区多态位点基因片段在各猪群间分布类型的不同显示出中国地方猪种与外来猪种相比所具有的种质差异,但该位点是否用作为改良猪胴体、肉质性状的标记位点并在标记辅助选择中加以应用还有待进一步的研究.     

取食Cry3Aa蛋白后黄曲条跳甲成虫中肠组织的病理变化

为明确Cry3Aa蛋白对黄曲条跳甲成虫的致死效果及作用机理,采用浸叶法测定了黄曲条跳甲成虫取食Cry3Aa蛋白后的死亡情况,并利用透射电镜观察了Cry3Aa蛋白处理后成虫中肠组织的病理学变化。结果显示,取食浓度为2 mg/mL的Cry3Aa蛋白6 d和12 d后黄曲条跳甲成虫的死亡率分别为33.33%和77.78%;透射电镜观察发现,蛋白处理后成虫中肠发生了明显的病理变化,并且随着时间的延长,病理变化更加明显,主要表现为：柱状细胞变形、细胞间隙增大、微绒毛缩短并肿胀、线粒体变形、内质网肿胀。本研究表明黄曲条跳甲成虫中肠是Cry3Aa蛋白的重要作用部位,研究结果为揭示Cry3Aa蛋白对黄曲条跳甲成虫的作用机理奠定了基础。

Cepharanthine induces autophagy via PI3K/AKT/mTOR signaling pathway in ovarian cancer SKOV3 cells

AIM: To investigate the autophagy of human ovarian cancer SKOV3 cells induced by cepharanthine and to explore its mechanism. METHODS: The effect of cepharanthine on the viability of ovarian cancer SKOV3 cells was measured by CCK-8 assay. The SKOV3 cells were treated with cepharanthine, and then the formation of autophagosome was observed with acridine orange staining under fluorescence microscope. The protein levels of LC3, AKT, p-AKT, mTOR, p-mTOR and GAPDH in the SKOV3 cells treated with cepharanthine were determined by Western blot.RESULTS: Cepharanthine significantly inhibited the viability of ovarian cancer SKOV3 cells in a dose-dependent manner (P<0.05). The number of the intracellular acidic autophagosomes with bright red fluorescence was significantly increased after cepharanthine treatment in the SKOV3 cells. The expression of LC3-Ⅱ in SKOV3 cells was significantly enhanced after cepharanthine treatment. Furthermore, treatment with cepharanthine in the SKOV3 cells also resulted in a significant down-regulation of phosphorylated form of AKT and mTOR (P<0.01), while the total protein level was not changed. Combination of cepharanthine and 3-methyladenine resulted in a substantial decrease in the cell viability compared with using cepharanthine alone.CONCLUSION: Cepharanthine significantly inhibits the growth of human ovarian cancer SKOV3 cells and induces the autophagy, which may be correlated with down-regulation of PI3K/AKT/mTOR signaling pathway.     

Nutritive characterization of purslane accessions as influenced by planting date

The uniqueness of purslane (Portulaca spp.) asthe richest vegetable source of omega-3 (-3)fatty acids is well documented. However, purslane hasnot been domesticated or fully evaluated for itsnutritive value. The objective of this study was todetermine the influence of planting date on chemicalcomposition of purslane accessions. Eight accessionsfrom different geographical locations were planted 12days apart, and whole plants harvested at full bloom. Chemical analysis (DM basis) of leaves showedsignificant differences among varieties for all thecharacteristics measured. Accession by planting dateinteraction influenced (p < 0.05) levels of crudeprotein, total lipids, and carbohydrate contents. Wild Greek accession had the highest, while aBeltsville (Maryland) wild type had the lowest crudeprotein content (27.1 vs 20.5%) at the secondplanting date. Crude protein, lipid and ash levelswere most influenced (p < 0.05) by planting date. Total lipids varied from 4.0–5.8% and 3.7–5.1% forthe first and second planting dates, respectively. Selected fatty acid content indicated significantly(p < 0.05) higher levels of 18: 26, and18: 33 in the Dutch Garden accession comparedwith other varieties. The Egyptian wild accession hadthe lowest level of 18: 33. The ratio of 3 to 6 acids, which ranged from 5.5 to22.3 indicated a highnutritive value of purslane compared to other oilcrops such as soybeans and perrilla. The high levelsof protein in purslane compete with those of othercommercially important vegetable crops. The studyshows that, in spite of its genetic diversity, purslaneremains one of the most abundant terrestrial vegetablesources of Omega-3 fatty acids and other essentialnutrients potentially beneficial for humans as well asanimals.

采用现场采样及室内实验方法,研究了黄河表层沉积物与La^3 的交换吸附作用。结果表明,用Langmuir方程和Freundlich方程均能较好地反映La^3 在沉积物表面上的等温吸附过程,但以Langmuir方程拟合程度更好,黄河表层沉积物对La^3 的吸附强烈地受控于pH值在2-12这一宽广的pH范围内,La^3 黄河表层沉积物的交换吸附呈现随pH的增加而增大的总体趋势,在pH为2-7的范围内,随pH的增大,La^3 的吸附量逐渐增加,并在pH为6-7时达到最高值;当pH＞7时,随Ph的增大,La^3 的吸附量基本保持恒定,沉积物去除有机质后吸附能力下降了12.71%,与颗粒物中稀上元素有机物结合态所占比例相当.

Effects of naringenin on PI3K/AKT signaling pathway and endoplasmic reticulum stress and its related apoptotic pathways in rats with myocardial ischemia/reperfusion injury

AIM To observe the effect of naringenin on cardiac injury in ischemia/reperfusion （I/R） rats, and to explore whether the role of naringenin is involved in PI3K/AKT signaling pathway and endoplasmic reticulum stress and its related apoptotic pathways. METHODS SD rats （n=48） were randomly divided into sham operation （sham） group, model （I/R） group, naringenin treatment （NAR） group and naringenin+LY294002 （NL） group. Myocardial I/R injury model was prepared by ligation of left anterior descending coronary artery of rats for 30 min followed by reperfusion for 120 min. After reperfusion, the serum levels of cardiac troponin I （cTnI） was measured by ELISA. HE staining, TTC staining and TUNEL staining were used to detect the myocardial histopathological changes, myocardial infarction area and myocardial cell apoptotic rate. The mRNA levels of endoplasmic reticulum stress-related indicators glucose-regulated protein 78 （GRP78）, C/EBP homologous protein （CHOP） and caspase-12 were detected by RT-qPCR. The protein levels of cleaved caspase-3, GRP78, CHOP, caspase-12, p-PI3K and p-AKT were determined by Western blot. RESULTS Compared with I/R group, the serum content of cTnI, myocardial pathological damage, myocardial infarction area and myocardial cell apoptotic rate were significantly reduced （P<0.05）, the protein levels of cleaved caspase-3, GRP78, CHOP and caspase-12 were decreased （P<0.05）, and the protein levels of p-PI3K and p-AKT were increased in NAR group （P<0.05）. LY294002 attenuated the protective effect of naringenin to some extent. CONCLUSION Naringenin reduces myocardial I/R injury in rats possibly by activating PI3K/AKT signaling pathway and subsequently regulating endoplasmic reticulum stress and its related apoptotic pathways.     

In vitro effect of recombinant human tumor necrosis factor-alpha on canine neutrophil apoptosis

Neutrophils (polymorphonuclear leukocytes: PMNs) are essential for the host defense against various infections and are often injurious to the host, causing inflammatory diseases where tumor necrosis factor-alpha (TNF-alpha) is suggested to play an important role. Since an effect of TNF-alpha on canine PMN apoptosis has not been studied, canine PMNs were stimulated with recombinant human (rh)TNF-alpha in the present study to investigate the effect of TNF-alpha on canine PMN apoptosis. PMN apoptosis and function to produce ROS were assessed by flow cytometry. Delayed apoptosis was observed in the PMNs treated with rhTNF-alpha at 100 ng/ml, accompanied by retention of capability to produce ROS. However, PMN apoptosis was accelerated by rhTNF-alpha combined with cycloheximide. Therefore, it is indicated that TNF-alpha is able to activate anti- and pro-apoptotic pathways in PMNs and that the inhibition of PMN apoptosis by TNF-alpha requires protein synthesis in the PMNs.
