凋亡抑制蛋白XIAP研究进展

X连锁凋亡抑制蛋白(XIAP)是哺乳动物中具有抑制细胞凋亡作用的蛋白,是IAPs家族的一员.XIAP通过杆状病毒IAP重复序列(BIR)直接与起始以及效应caspases结合,抑制了细胞凋亡的线粒体途径,也可以通过NF-κB途径抑制细胞表面受体介导的凋亡.XIAP具有不同于Bcl-2的作用机制,是IAPs家族中最具有抑制活性的一个.XIAP的作用受到线粒体释放的蛋白Smac的拮抗,以及受到自身具有泛素连接酶E3活性的RING指结构域的调节.阐述XIAP抑制caspase以及Smac等拮抗XIAP的机理对于治疗肿瘤以及过度凋亡疾病具有重要的意义.

将反义Id4导入MEL细胞株,研究此基因对细胞增殖、分化及凋亡的影响.结果表明,Id4基因的沉默显著抑制细胞增殖,细胞的分化率明显提高(84倍);细胞的死亡率和凋亡率均增加,但基因沉默对分化的促进占优势,Id4可能是调控和保持分化的重要因子.反义Id4对细胞周期引擎基因、肿瘤抑制基因、凋亡抑制基因以及着丝粒蛋白基因表达的影响,说明Id基因的功能可以从细胞周期检验点调控等方面加以探讨.这些结果有利于细胞增殖、分化调节,特别是血细胞分化控制的研究.     

基于原子力显微镜研究p53蛋白与PBR322 DNA的相互作用

肿瘤(癌症)是由于细胞在复制过程中,DNA损伤不能修复导致细胞凋亡或者细胞无限增殖而形成的。DNA在细胞中转录和翻译都会涉及蛋白与DNA的结合,肿瘤抑制蛋白也是参与这一过程的关键蛋白之一。然而,众多研究发现,肿瘤抑制蛋白p53具有识别和修复损伤DNA的效果,对于细胞的凋亡、基因的保护和避免癌症发生有着重要的意义。有研究表明,金属镁离子和锌离子可以增强p53蛋白的结构稳定性和p53-DNA的亲和力。因此,我们基于原子力显微镜(AFM),直观地呈现出p53蛋白与PBR322环状DNA相互作用的图像,同时发现p53蛋白可以使环状DNA自身形成聚集或者相交。但是,对于长度相当的5 000bp的线状DNA几乎没有这样的效果,而对于20 000bp DNA不会出现这样的现象。然而,在高浓度镁离子环境下,环状DNA会扭转成为麻花状,即形成超螺旋结构。这一现象,可为p53蛋白功能和作用机理研究提供指导,也为癌症治疗、癌症药物开发以及癌症检测方法提供启发。     

ABL沉默对DOX和TRAIL诱导结肠癌细胞HT29凋亡的影响

研究酪氨酸激酶Abelson(ABL)基因沉默与肿瘤坏死因子相关凋亡诱导配体(tumor necrosis factor related apoptosis inducing ligand,TRAIL)、阿霉素(doxorubicin,DOX)联合作用对结肠癌细胞株HT29凋亡的影响.利用shRNA慢病毒载体构建ABL沉默稳转细胞株,并用Western blot检测ABL表达水平;细胞计数试剂盒8(cell count kit 8,CCK8)实验检测细胞增殖和药物毒性;流式细胞仪检测细胞凋亡情况;Western blot检测凋亡相关蛋白PARP1,cleaved-caspase3的表达水平.结果表明:TRAIL,DOX均能够抑制结肠癌细胞的细胞活性,二者联合用药可在较低剂量诱导细胞凋亡;ABL基因沉默能够抑制结肠癌细胞增殖,但同时也抑制了TRAIL对HT29细胞的凋亡诱导作用,以及TRAIL和DOX对HT29细胞凋亡的协同作用.可见,DOX和TRAIL联合用药能够显著诱导HT29细胞发生凋亡;虽然ABL沉默能抑制HT29细胞增殖,但同时也抑制了TRAIL和DOX协同促进HT29细胞凋亡的作用.     

铀矿冶低剂量γ射线辐照对淋巴细胞凋亡的影响

淋巴细胞凋亡在其发育中起着重要的作用,淋巴细胞凋亡率升高可能会引起免疫缺陷,抑制淋巴细胞凋亡率可能会促进淋巴瘤的发展。铀矿冶低剂量γ射线辐照会诱导淋巴细胞的凋亡,流式细胞术检测结果表明,淋巴细胞在接受剂量率为14 μGy/h的低剂量率γ射线辐照的21 d内凋亡率逐渐增高,并基本呈线性增加趋势。全转录组测序结果表明,低剂量γ射线辐照后,淋巴细胞内共有1 677个表达差异显著(任意两组间p值<0.05)的基因,主要与细胞对压力的反应、细胞周期、DNA构象变化、DNA修复、细胞蛋白分解代谢过程、病毒致癌机理、染色体分离、p53的转录调控相关。低剂量γ辐射会激活肿瘤抑制蛋白p53,最终使细胞凋亡率升高。

为了解肺癌肿瘤组织白细胞介素-10(interleukin-10,IL-10)的表达和来源，并探究IL-10对肿瘤的作用，采用MSD超敏电化学发光技术检测Lewis肺癌小鼠模型血清中IL-10的水平，使用流式细胞术分析肿瘤组织IL-10的主要来源，再通过CCK-8实验、膜联蛋白V-碘化丙啶(annexin V-PI)凋亡实验、划痕实验，检测IL-10重组蛋白对肺癌细胞增殖、凋亡、迁移的影响。结果表明：Lewis肺癌小鼠血清中IL-10水平较正常小鼠显著升高，肿瘤组织中的IL-10主要由免疫细胞产生。其中，B细胞和髓源性抑制细胞(myeloid-derived suppressor cells, MDSCs)是IL-10的主要来源，IL-10重组蛋白可以显著抑制LLC(小鼠Lewis肺癌细胞：Lewis lung carcinoma line)的增殖和迁移并促进其凋亡。综上可见，IL-10水平与肺癌密切相关，B细胞和MDSCs是产生IL-10的主要来源，IL-10可能通过激活CD8 T细胞或者直接作用于肿瘤细胞而发挥抗肿瘤作用。     

An Index mechanism for multi-scale view in spatial databases

There are numerous geometric objects stored in the spatial databases. An importance function in a spatial database is that users can browse the geometric objects as a map efficiently. Thus the spatial database should display the geometric objects users concern about swiftly onto the display window. This process includes two operations:retrieve data from database and then draw them onto screen. Accordingly, to improve the efficiency, we should try to reduce time of both retrieving object and displaying them. The former can be achieved with the aid of spatial index such as R-tree, the latter require to simplify the objects. Simplification means that objects are shown with sufficient but not with unnecessary detail which depend on the scale of browse. So the major problem is how to retrieve data at different detail level efficiently. This paper introduces the implementation of a multi-scale index in the spatial database SISP (Spatial Information Shared Platform) which is generalized from R-tree. The difference between the generalization and the R-tree lies on two facets: One is that every node and geometric object in the generalization is assigned with a importance value which denote the importance of them, and every vertex in the objects are assigned with a importance value,too. The importance value can be use to decide which data should be retrieve from disk in a query. The other difference is that geometric objects in the generalization are divided into one or more sub-blocks, and vertexes are total ordered by their importance value. With the help of the generalized R-tree, one can easily retrieve data at different detail levels.Some experiments are performed on real-life data to evaluate the performance of solutions that separately use normal spatial index and multi-scale spatial index. The results show that the solution using multi-scale index in SISP is satisfying.     

Characterization of Ordovician carbonate reservoirs, southeastern Saskatchewan, Canada

The discovery of the prolific Ordovician Red River reservoirs in 1995 in southeastern Saskatchewan was the catalyst for extensive exploration activity which resulted in the discovery of more than 15 new Red River pools. The best yields of Red River production to date have been from dolomite reservoirs. Understanding the processes of dolomitization is, therefore, crucial for the prediction of the connectivity, spatial distribution and heterogeneity of dolomite reservoirs.The Red River reservoirs in the Midale area consist of 3～4 thin dolomitized zones, with a total thickness of about 20 m, which occur at the top of the Yeoman Formation. Two types of replacement dolomite were recognized in the Red River reservoir: dolomitized burrow infills and dolomitized host matrix. The spatial distribution of dolomite suggests that burrowing organisms played an important role in facilitating the fluid flow in the backfilled sediments. This resulted in penecontemporaneous dolomitization of burrow infills by normal seawater. The dolomite in the host matrix is interpreted as having occurred at shallow burial by evaporitic seawater during precipitation of Lake Almar anhydrite that immediately overlies the Yeoman Formation. However, the low δ18O values of dolomited burrow infills (-5.9‰～ -7.8‰, PDB) and matrix dolomites (-6.6‰～ -8.1‰, avg. -7.4‰ PDB) compared to the estimated values for the late Ordovician marine dolomite could be attributed to modification and alteration of dolomite at higher temperatures during deeper burial, which could also be responsible for its 87Sr/86Sr ratios (0.7084～0.7088) that are higher than suggested for the late Ordovician seawaters (0.7078～0.7080). The trace amounts of saddle dolomite cement in the Red River carbonates are probably related to "cannibalization" of earlier replacement dolomite during the chemical compaction.

Perspherical Approaches for Electrons in Atoms and Charged Excitons in Quantum Wells

Instead of following Fock’s expansion,we solve the Schrodinger equation for some quantum mechanical manybody systems such as electrons in atoms and charged excitons in quantum wells in a similar way in hyperspherical coordinates by expanding the wave functions into orthonormal complete basis sets of the hyperspherical hannonics(HHs)of hyperangles and generalized Laguerre polynomials(GLPs)of the hyperradius.This leads the equation to     

Advances in broadband wireless communications under high-mobility scenarios

Future mobile communication systems aim at providing very high data transmission rates, even in high-mobility scenarios such as high-speed wheel-track trains, maglev trains, highway vehicles, airplanes, guided missiles or spacecraft. A particularly important commercial application is the strong and increasing worldwide demand for high- speed broadband wireless communications （up to 574.8 km/ h test speeds or 380 km/h commercial speeds） in railways, providing data, voice and video services for applications such as onboard entertainment services to passengers, train control, train dispatch, train sensor status handling and sur- veillance. In such high-mobility scenarios, there are a number of communication challenges, including fast hand- over, location updating, high-speed channel modeling, estimation and equalization, anti-Doppler spreading tech- niques, fast power control, and dedicated network architec- ture. Because signal transmission in very high-speed scenarios will inevitably experience serious deterioration, it is imperative to develop key broadband mobile communi- cation techniques for such high-speed vehicles.

海南岛地体及其毗邻陆缘晚中生代—新生代古地磁研究和构造演化

本文叙述了对海南岛及其毗邻大陆边缘白垩纪到第四纪地层岩石进行古地磁研究的全部工作过程。通过分析岩石中剩余磁矢量的磁偏角及磁倾角的变化,提出海南岛白垩纪以来经历的构造演化模式如下:早期伴随顺时针旋转而向南迁移,后期伴随逆时针转动并向北运移。联系该地区及邻区的地质、地球物理资料,对海南岛上述的构造地体运动提出以下认识:北部湾内早期有一拉张作用,主要是该作用使湾内地壳显著伸长减薄,形成北部湾盆地。从而导致了海南岛的早期构造运动,而海南岛后期的构造运动则主要是受南海海底扩张的影响。海南地体运动规律的阐明对于了解北部湾油气盆地的形成演化有重要的理论和实际意义。     

Scale-based spatial data model for GIS

Being the primary media of geographical information and the elementary objects manipulated, almost all of maps adopt the layer-based model to represent geographic information in the existent GIS. However, it is difficult to extend the map represented in layer-based model. Furthermore, in Web-Based GIS, It is slow to transmit the spatial data for map viewing. In this paper, for solving the questions above, we have proposed a new method for representing the spatial data. That is scale-based model. In this model we represent maps in three levels: scale-view, block, and spatial object, and organize the maps in a set of map layers, named Scale-View, which associates some given scales.Lastly, a prototype Web-Based GIS using the proposed spatial data representation is described briefly.
