Molecular cloning and immunolocalization of the 17 kDa myoglobin of Clonorchis sinensis

We purified the 17 kDa protein abundant in Clonorchis sinensis crude extracts. The N-terminal amino acid sequence of this protein was determined and an oligonucleotide probe synthesized. Using this probe, the cDNA encoding the protein was cloned and sequenced from the C. sinensis cDNA library. It was found to consist of a total of 150 amino acids and to have 41% conserved homology with the myoglobin of the trematodes Paramphistomum epiclitum and Isoparorchis hypselobagri. The gene product over-expressed in the bacterial system was purified and identified as the same molecule in the adult worms. BALB/c mouse sera raised against the adult 17 kDa protein revealed that this myoglobin was distributed throughout the parenchymal tissues except for the eggs and reproductive organs and that the protein may be involved in the survival of C. sinensis in the oxygen-depleted environment of the host.     

p53基因在RA诱导SH-SY5Y细胞分化后低表达

全反式维甲酸(RA)的抑制肿瘤细胞生长和调控细胞分化的作用是一项重要的研究课题。而p53基因是一个重要的肿瘤抑制基因,在RA的作用中是否涉及到p53的作用尚有待阐明。本文用低浓度的RA(10 μmol/L)作用于SH-SY5Y细胞,每2d换一次液,在作用9 d后,用光学显微镜观察SH-SY5Y细胞的形态学变化,并提取细胞质总RNA进行RT-PCR反应半定量检测p53基因表达。结果显示,SH-SY5Y细胞经RA诱导后,细胞生出较长的突起,具有神经元的形态;而对照组保持成纤维细胞的形态、无明显的形态学变化。RT-PCR半定量显示,在细胞诱导后,p53基因表达明显下调。本文结果提示,RA的作用可能独立于p53基因途径,p53基因的表达变化可能是继发于RA的作用。     

An unusual surface peroxiredoxin protects invasive Entamoeba histolytica from oxidant attack

Peroxiredoxins are an important class of antioxidant enzymes found from Archaea to humans, which reduce and thereby detoxify peroxides and peroxynitrites. The major thiol-containing surface antigen of the invasive ameba, Entamoeba histolytica, is a peroxiredoxin and is likely to be important during the transition from the anaerobic environment of the large intestine to human tissues. The closely related species, Entamoeba dispar, is incapable of invasion and more sensitive to hydrogen peroxide, yet also has a peroxiredoxin. We cloned and expressed the two active recombinant enzymes and found that their activity was similar by a fluorometric stopped-flow assay, giving a Km of <10 microM for hydrogen peroxide. Three monoclonal antibodies produced to recombinant E. histolytica peroxiredoxin cross-reacted with Entamoeba dispar.E. histolytica contains as much as 50 times more peroxiredoxin than E. dispar as demonstrated by a sensitive capture ELISA. In addition, the peroxiredoxin is present largely on the outer surface of the cell, in contrast to E. dispar. This unusual peroxiredoxin localizes to the site of parasite-host cell contact where it can effectively counteract oxidants generated by host cells, thus facilitating invasion.     

探针浓度对压电传感器基因杂交效应的影响

目的 探讨探针浓度对压电传感器基因杂交效应的影响。方法 9种浓度的探针与同一浓度的靶序列在压电传感器阵列上进行杂交,计算机采集并分析传感器频率数据,比较各探针浓度下固定前后频率差,杂交达到平衡所需时间,杂交前后频率差,同时,根据较低浓度数据得出的杂交动力学参数。计算各浓度下的频率变化理论值。结果 随探针浓度增加,固定引起的频率变化值逐渐增加,杂交时间有缩短趋势,杂交前后的频率差值在探针浓度较低（1nmol/L-0.5μmol/L)时逐渐增大,而探;针浓度较高（1.0-3.5μmol/L)时反而减小,高浓度时杂交前后频率变化理论值与实际值存在明显差异。结论 在石英晶体传感器阵列上,基因杂交效率随探针浓度增加而增大,但探针浓度过高反而抑制杂交,其原因可能主要在于探针之间的空间构象关系和静电排斥。     

内毒素血症小鼠巨噬细胞膜脂改变对CD14表达及TNFα分泌的影响

目的 以小鼠内毒素血症为模型,研究小鼠腹腔巨噬细胞膜脂改变,及其对受体CD14表达及血浆TNFα产生的影响。方法 48只小鼠分为3组。①对照线（n=8）;②内毒素血症组：小鼠尾静脉注射LPS,200μg/只,分1、3、5、8 4个观察时相点,每个时相点8只动物;③脂质体预处理组（n=8）：小鼠腹腔注射卵磷脂脂质体1ml(1mg/ml),18h后尾静脉注射LPS,200μg/只,5h后观察巨噬细胞膜脂成分、膜流动性及CD14阳性率、血浆中TNFα含量的变化。结果 LPS刺激下,巨噬细胞主要膜脂成分降解,细胞膜荧光偏振度、微粘度和分子排列有序系数增加,膜流动性显著降低;CD14阳性率增加,5h达高峰,8h降至正常水平;TNFα含量显著升高,3h达高峰,8h降至正常水平。磷脂脂质体预处理后,膜损伤减轻,CD14阳性率及TNFα含量均明显降低。结论 内毒素血症小鼠腹腔巨噬细胞膜磷脂降解,细胞膜从相对比较流动变为相对固化,这可能是膜受体CD14阳性率增加,TNFα产生增多的重要原因。脂质体预处理能修复膜损伤,减少膜CD14表达,减轻炎症反应。     

长期饮酒对男性生殖系统功能影响

目的探讨饮酒对男性生殖系统的损害及其机理。方法选择45名男性饮酒者和9名慢性酒精中毒者为研究对象,以15名不吸烟不接触毒物的男性为对照组。结果长期大量饮酒和酒精中毒者血清中T和CS水平下降,而LH和FSH水平升高;精浆和精子中LDH,LDH-x和G-6PD活力下降,以LDH-x下降为敏感;精子数量和活动精子年均降低,精子畸形率及异常精液检出率均升高。上述各指标与对照组比较差异均有高度显著性（P＜0.01）。结论长期饮酒可损害男性生殖系统功能。
