冬泳运动对大鼠骨骼肌解偶联蛋白基因表达的影响

探讨不同温度、时间的游泳运动对大鼠骨骼肌UCP基因表达的变化情况。用32只SD大鼠随机分为安静组A、3 min游泳组B、30 min游泳组C和冬泳组D,每组8只。3 min游泳组和30 min游泳组的游泳水温为22℃。冬泳组逐渐降温后维持水温在8℃,时间为3 min。通过大鼠骨四头肌RNA电泳、RT-PCR反应结果来测定骨骼肌UCP基因的表达情况。C、D组UCP mRNA表达极显著地高于A、B组(p0.01),D组UCP mRNA表达极显著地高于C组(p0.01)。冬泳大鼠骨骼肌UCP基因表达升高,说明大鼠机体在外界低温的刺激下发生了诱导上调反应。

MiR-205 inhibits the invasion and migration of esophageal squamous cell carcinoma by modulating SMAD1 expression

Esophageal squamous cell carcinoma （ESCC） is one of the most lethal cancers worldwide. In this study, we aimed to investigate the underlying mechanisms of metastasis inhibition by miR-205 in ESCC. In microRNA （miRNA） array and quantitative RT-PCR analyses, we found that the expression level of miR-205 was significantly lower in patients with lymph node metastasis compared with that in patients without lymph node metastasis. After transfection of miR-205 mimics or inhibitors into ESCC cell lines, a significant negative correlation was observed between the expression level of miR-205 and Smad 1. In luciferase reporter assays, we revealed that miR- 205 inhibited the expression of SMAD1 by targeting the 3＇ untranslated region （3＇-UTR） of SMAD1 mRNA in ESCC cells. Furthermore, our results showed that miR-205 sup- pressed the invasion and migration of ESCC cells, whereas Smadl increased their invasion and migration. Taken together, our study demonstrates that miR-205 functions as a suppressor of tumor metastasis by regulating SMAD1 expression through targeting the 3＇-UTR of SMAD1 mRNAin ESCC. Therefore, miR-205 may be a potential therapeutic target for miRNA-based therapy of ESCC.     

科学家解锁大脑编码情绪模式

正中国科学院上海生命科学研究院神经科学研究所胡海岚研究组利用一项叫作TAI-FISH的新技术揭示了小鼠前脑边缘系统各脑区对于喜好或者厌恶的情绪反应的编码模式。生活中充满了七情六欲,喜乐哀愁。为什么人们高兴时心花怒放、如步云端,痛苦时又五内俱焚、似坠深渊?在这些情绪的背后,大脑中发生了什么样的变化?情绪使生活多姿多彩,帮助人们趋利避害,对生存和生活至关重要。然而,长久以来,大脑如何编码情绪信息却一直是个谜。在胡海岚的指导下,研究生修建     

Antiinflammatory and analgesic effect of herbal cocktail Hongbaekjeong via inhibition of proinflammatory cytokines and prostaglandin E2 release

Though Hongbaekjeong(HBJ),a hebal mixture of three medicinal plants,has been traditionally used for arthritis and muscular pain,its scientific evidence still remains unclear.Thus,in the present study,analgesic and anti-inflammatory mechanism of HBJ was evaluated in vitro and in vivo.HBJ significantly reduced NO production and prostaglandin E2(PGE2)release and also attenuated the expression of cyclooxygenase 2(COX-2)in lipopolysaccharides(LPS)and interferon(IFN)-c treated RAW 264.7 cells.Furthermore,HBJ abrogated the production of proinflammatory cytokines such as interleukin(IL)1b,IL-6,IL-8 and monocyte chemoattractant protein-1(MCP-1)in LPS and IFN-c treated RAW 264.7 cells.In addition,HBJ significantly decreased the number of writhing syndrome induced by acetic acid,and also increased latency in hot-plate method and tail flick test in mice.Consistently,HBJ significantly reduced the edema volume in the hind paw of the rats with arthritis induced by Freund’s complete adjuvant(FCA)compared to untreated control.Collectively,our findings demonstrate the antiinflammatory and analgesic potential of HBJ via inhibition of proinflammatory cytokines and PGE2 release for treatment of arthritis and muscular pain.

中年吃肉多,等于吸烟

正一项持续近20年、针对大量人群的研究发现,中年时期吃肉多相当于吸烟。在中年时期吃肉多的人死于癌症的可能性,比动物蛋白(来自肉食、牛奶和奶酪等)摄入量低的人高四倍,死于糖尿病或早死的概率也大得多。蛋白质控制着生长因子IGF-I,后者帮助人体生长,但也与患癌可能性有关。人在65岁后,IGF-I水平急剧下降,会导致衰弱和肌肉量减少,不过对老年人却有保
