普通烟草β-胡萝卜素羟化酶2基因克隆与生物信息学分析

β-胡萝卜素羟化酶(beta-carotene hydroxylase,BCH)是植物类胡萝卜素合成代谢中的关键限速酶,为获得烟草β-胡萝卜素羟化酶2(NtBCH2)基因序列,采用同源克隆法从烟草中分离NtBCH2的基因组DNA序列,基因登录号为JX101477。结果表明:1)同源克隆法从烟草中克隆出NtBCH2基因,NtBCH2基因组DNA全长2131bp,cDNA为1 083bp,含7个外显子和6个内含子。2)NtBCH2蛋白有309个氨基酸,分子量为34.79kD,具有7个糖基化位点,11个磷酸化位点,4个跨膜域。3)系统发育树与BLAST分析表明,NtBCH2是番茄的SlBCH和辣椒CaBCH2的同源基因;GENEVESTIGATOR数据库芯片结果表明,NtBCH2在幼嫩的茎和子叶中表达量最高。     

恩施与国外白肋烟中性致香成分含量的差异比较

为明确恩施白肋烟中性致香成分组分和含量及与国外白肋烟的异同,以恩施不同产区及美国、马拉维白肋烟样品为材料,采用气质联用仪对样品的中性致香成分含量进行分析测定,结果表明:恩施白肋烟中性致香成分总量及各组分含量在产地之间存在一定差异,其中香叶基丙酮、苯甲醛、糠醇等单一致香成分含量的变异较大。以巨豆三烯酮为代表的类胡萝卜素类降解产物含量以美国烟叶最高,恩施次之,马拉维最低;恩施白肋烟苯丙氨酸类、棕色化反应产物含量均高于美国和马拉维,而西柏三烯的主要降解产物茄酮则低于国外烟叶。聚类分析将供试样品分为3类,80%的恩施样点与美国同属一类,表明恩施白肋烟中性致香成分含量与美国具有较高的相似性。     

杧果‘汤米·阿京斯’香气特征分析

以杧果品种‘汤米·阿京斯’的叶片和果肉为材料，通过固相微萃取结合气相色谱/质谱法，分析和鉴定挥发性物质的组成。分别检测出叶片和果肉中挥发性物质64和51种。果肉中的主要挥发性成分为萜烯类化合物和苯甲醛；果肉中所特有的且含量较高的香料物质为3-蒈烯和苯甲醛，二者含量占56.68%。对果肉中挥发性物质的香味进行分析，结果发现其包含14种香型，其中果香、松香和木香是最主要的香韵类型，对松香味有贡献的化合物包括α-蒎烯、β-蒎烯、3-蒈烯、月桂烯和α-水芹烯，其中3-蒈烯贡献最大。

Effects of phytosterol ester on aortic aging and expression of related genes in rats

AIM: To explore the protective effect of phytosterol ester (PSE) on aortic aging in rats. METHODS: The female SD rats (12 months old, n=42) were randomly divided into control group, model group and PSE group. During the experiment, the rats in control group, model group and PSE group were treated with basic feed, high-fat diet (HFD) and HFD with 2% PSE (W/W) for 6 months, respectively. The morphological changes of the aorta were observed by HE staining and Masson staining, and the absolute area of smooth muscle cells and collagen fiber in the vascular wall were measured by image analysis. The levels of advanced glycosylation end products (AGEs), malondialdehyde (MDA), superoxide dismutase (SOD) and catalase (CAT) in the plasma were detected. The expression of silent information regulator 1 (SIRT1) and peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor γ (PPARγ) at mRNA and protein levels in the vascular tissue was determined by real time PCR and Western blot, respectively. RESULTS: PSE significantly lowered plasma TC and LDL-C, and increased plasma HDL-C level (P<0.05), but had no effect on plasma TG level. PSE significantly attenuated the thickening of intima and media of aging aortic, and decreased the migration of vascular smooth muscle cells (VSMC) and the amount of VSMC and collagen fiber in the aorta (P<0.05). PSE significantly reduced the contents of AGEs and MDA (P<0.05), but had no effect on the activity of SOD and CAT in the plasma. PSE also down-regulated the expression of PPARγ and up-regulated the expression of SIRT1 (P<0.05). CONCLUSION: PSE is able to attenuate the senescence process in the aorta by reducing the production of reactive oxygen species in plasma, and activating SIRT1, or inhibiting the expression of PPARγ in vascular tissues.
