Growth and Production of Steroid Saponin in Solanum aculeatissimum During One Vegetation Period

SOLANUM ACULEATISSIMUM (Solanaceae) plants, which were cultivated in the open field, were harvested once a month from June 1985 to January 1986. The growth matter and content of steroid saponins, aculeatiside A and B which are precursors of steroid hormones in root, were then measured in order to examine their seasonal variations during one vegetation period. The aerial parts of the plants died of chill and frost in January. In November the dry weight of root reached the maximum, and the content of steroid saponins was more than 10% and showed a maximum. The yield of steroid saponins per plant was greatest in November. These results suggest that November is the appropriate time for harvest, and that S. ACULEATISSIMUM can be more useful than the DIOSCOREA species which is now used as a source plant of steroid hormones.     

LncRNA ABHD11-AS1在Erastin诱导的胰腺癌细胞铁死亡中的作用及其机制

［摘要］目的： 探讨长链非编码RNA(long non coding RNA,lncRNA)α/β 水解酶结构域蛋白11的反义链1(α/β hydrolase domain containing protein 11 antisense strand 1,ABHD11 AS1)在Erastin诱导的胰腺癌细胞铁死亡中的作用及其潜在机制。方法: 通过GEPIA平台分析ABHD11 AS1在胰腺癌中的表达和患者预后。采用荧光实时定量PCR(qRT PCR)检测人胰腺癌PANC1、MIApaca 2和PaTu8988细胞中ABHD11 AS1表达,CCK8法计算Erastin半数抑制浓度(IC50)。在PANC1细胞中过表达ABHD11 AS1,分别转染pcDNA3.1、pcDNA3.1 ABHD11 AS1质粒;在PaTu8988细胞中干扰ABHD11 AS1表达,分别转染siControl、siRNA1、siRNA2,qRT PCR检测转染效率,分别予以对照(0 μmol/L Erastin)、Erastin(IC50浓度)处理,CCK8法检测细胞活性,ELISA法检测丙二醛和还原型谷胱甘肽(glutathione,GSH)含量;另在pcDNA3-1-ABHD11-AS1和siRNA1组加入Erastin的同时加入铁死亡挽救剂Ferrostatin 1,坏死挽救剂Necrostatin-1或凋亡挽救剂Z-VAD-FMK,CCK8法检测细胞活性;免疫印迹法检测5组胰腺癌细胞中谷胱甘肽过氧化物酶4(glutathione peroxidase 4,GPX4)、雷帕霉素靶蛋白(mammalian target of rapamycin,mTOR)以及磷酸化mTOR(p-mTOR)表达水平。结果: 胰腺癌组织中ABHD11-AS1表达水平明显高于癌旁组织,高表达ABHD11-AS1组患者预后较差(P<0.05)。ABHD11-AS1相对表达量由低到高依次是人胰腺癌PANC1、MIApaca 2和PaTu8988细胞,Erasin IC50趋势与ABHD11 AS1表达量相同,依次是2.245、11.760、17.120 μmol/L。与pcDNA3.1组相比,pcDNA3.1 ABHD11 AS1组细胞活性及GSH含量明显增高,而丙二醛含量明显降低(P<0.05);与siControl组相比,siRNA1组和siRNA2组细胞活性及GSH含量明显降低,丙二醛含量明显增高(P均<0.05)。仅Ferrostatin-1可以挽救pcDNA3.1-ABHD11 AS1和siRNA1组细胞活性(P<0.05)。过表达ABHD11 AS1可促进mTOR活化,增强GPX4表达(P<0.05);而干扰ABHD11 AS1则相反。结论: LncRNA ABHD11 AS1可通过活化mTOR促进GPX4表达,从而促进胰腺癌细胞铁死亡抵抗。     

超声心动图评价急性心肌梗死Ⅱ期心脏康复前后心功能及同步性

目的： 应用超声心动图评价急性心肌梗死患者行Ⅱ期心脏康复前后心功能及同步性改变。方法: 对20例急性心肌梗死患者Ⅱ期心脏康复前后使用脉冲多普勒结合心电图计算主肺动脉射血前时间差,即心室间机械延迟时间(IVMD)。于心尖四腔心切面,使用M型超声心动图,计算出三尖瓣环收缩期位移(TAPSE)。使用实时三维超声心动图获取心尖四腔心全容积图像,在Qlab 9.0软件下获得心率、左室射血分数(LVEF)、左室舒张末容积(LVEDV)、左房最大容积(LAVmax)和左房射血分数(LAEF)。软件自动计算出左室16节段达收缩期最小容积点时间最大时间差(Tmsv16 Dif)心率校正值,即LVTmsv16 Dif/R R(%),以及左房16节段达收缩期最小容积点时间最大时间差(Tmsv16 Dif)心率校正值,即LATmsv16 Dif/R R(%)。结果: 急性心肌梗死患者Ⅱ期心脏康复后心率、LATmsv16 Dif/R R(%)明显低于康复前(P<0.001和P<0.05),LVEF、LAEF明显高于康复前(P<0.001和P<0.05),康复前后IVMD、TAPSE、LVEDV、LAVmax、LVTmsv16 Dif/R R(%)比较差异无统计学意义(P均>0.05)。结论: 急性心肌梗死患者行Ⅱ期心脏康复后左心收缩功能及左房同步性较康复前改善。
