Inhibition of PKB/Akt activity involved in apigenininduced apoptosis in human gastric carcinoma cells

Apigenin is a flavonoid widely distributed in fruits and vegetables. It possesses growth inhibitory properties against numerous cancer cell lines. However,the molecular mechanism(s) by which api-genin elicits its effects have not been fully elucidated. Here we studied whether apigenin inhibits growth and induces apoptosis in human gastric carcinoma cells. We showed that the flavonoid inhibited growth of the cells and caused apoptosis,as evidenced by DNA Ladder,cleavage of pro-caspase-3 in a time-dependent manner. Induction of apoptosis was dependent on inhibition of the PKB/Akt activity. We found that while apigenin had no effect on the expression of Akt and Bad,it inhibited specific phosphorylation of the two proteins that are associated with pro-survival mechanisms. We propose that this important flavonoid induces apoptosis in gastric cancer cells by inhibiting Akt activity. Since Akt is often activated in cancers,our findings may have clinical implications.     

Abnormal expression of inducible nitric oxide synthase in Duchenne muscular dystrophy muscles

Duchenne muscular dystrophy (DMD) is a fatal genetic disease for the youth and children. 8 biopsies of DMD patients were determined and demonstrated that the membrane_binding nitric oxide synthase was enriched in normal skeletal muscles and was little in DMD muscles. The results from Western blot and immunohistochemistry showed that inducible nitric oxide synthase (iNOS) was overexpressed in DMD muscle fibers, while a small amount of highly localized iNOS can be found in normal fibers. Based on these findings, it is proposed that the mechanism of progressive injury in DMD muscle might be associated with the abnormal expression of iNOS.

Controlled expression of enhanced green fluorescent protein and hepatitis B virus precore protein in mammalian cells

A novel tetracycline regulation expression system was used to regulate the expression of enhanced green fluorescent protein (EGFP) and hepatitis B virus precore protein in the mammalian cell lines with lipofectAMINE. Flow cytometry assays showed that application of the system resulted in about 18-fold induction of EGFP expression in CHO cell lines and 5-fold induction in SSMC-7721 cells and about 2-fold in the HEK293 cells. Furthermore, the effective use of this system for the controlled expression of HBV precore protein gene in hepatocellular carcinoma cells was tested.     

Progress in artificial control system for gene expression

Along with the increasingly wide application of transgenic techniques, new stricter criteria have been raised for controlling the expression of exogenous genes. For these demands, a series of artificial control systems for gene expression have been developed and testified in recent years, which can control exogenous genes expression in exact time and certain level by administration of a specific drug or hormone. The successful construction of these systems offers a practicable method to control precise expression of exogenous gene in organisms, and raises the feasibility of wide application of gene therapy.

Insulin improves cardiac myocytes contractile function recovery in simulated ischemia-reperfusion： Key role of Akt

There are abundant insulin receptors on the membrane of myocytes, which renders cardiomyocytes typical target cells of insulin. Accumulating evidence has indicated that abnormal insulin level is an important predisposing factor in diabetes-related cardiovascular disorders and may contribute to the development of cardiovascular diseases, such as coronary heart diseaseand heart failure. It has been shown that insulin couldreduce infarct size in experimental animals subjected to myocardial ischem…

微生物源抗菌肽表达系统研究进展及改造策略

针对抗菌肽的生物活性、重组表达系统以及分子改造设计进行了回顾总结,提出了抗菌肽研究及技术开发领域目前存在的问题,包括抗菌活性较弱、生物合成效率不高、选择性差等。同时提出分子改造是提高抗菌活性和选择性的有效策略,而优化重组表达系统是提高生物合成效率的关键途径。认为针对抗菌肽的研究和开发,一方面会深化人类对于抗菌肽的结构与抗菌性、选择性、毒性关系的认识,深化对重组表达系统关键步骤及调控机理的认识,具有显著的科学意义;另一方面,由于抗菌肽独特的抗菌机制,不易产生耐药性,对抗菌肽的研发将会大大推动其在药品、食品、化妆品、饲料等领域的应用。     

Construction of chimeric inducible promoters by elicitors of rice fungal blast pathogen and their expression in transgenic rice

The promoter fragments of wheatGstA1 and potatoGst1 have been amplified by PCR, cloned and fused respectively to the minimal promoter sequence of rice actin gene (Act1)) and its 5′ untranslated leader sequence together withGUS. The constructs with 2 chimeric promoters (WGA and PGA) have been transferred into rice in order to analyze their inducibility patterns in transgenic rice plants. The results show that: WGA and PGA are both inducible by elicitors ofPyricularia oryzae in transgenic rice cells; the intron I of riceAct1 gene is important for the heterogenic expression of monocot and dicot promoter elements in rice; and theAct1 minimal promoter and its 5′ untranslated leader sequence produced low level background expression in rice.     

Establishment of a coupled expression system mediated by modified T7 RNA polymerase gene

A coupled expression system for plants wasmerase gene was modified by addition of the coding sequenceof nuclear location signal from SV40 large T antigen. Plantexpression vector pBBT7 was constructed with the modifiedT7 RNA polymerase gene under the control of CaMV35Spromoter. Another expression vector pBTG contained cas-sette of gusA controlled by T7 promoter. The two vectorswere co-transformed into tobacco via the Agrobecte-rium-mediated method. Results of GUS activity indicatedthat the co-transformed plant with pBBT7 and pBTGshowed a high level of GUS activity. The results demon-strated that the coupled expression system of T7 polymeraseand T7 promoter was workable in plants.

小鼠睾丸发育过程中Si1基因表达的研究

 以1天龄、未成熟(3周龄)、成熟期(10周龄以上)的昆明正常小鼠睾丸组织为实验材料,利用地高辛标记的Si1基因探针在其组织切片上进行DNA-mRNA分子原位杂交,探讨Si1基因在小鼠睾丸发育过程中的表达变化.同时,分别在生后15,20 d及25 d的昆明小鼠睾丸组织切片上进行凋亡细胞原位检测,验证小鼠睾丸上述发育时期的细胞凋亡情况.结果发现:①Si1基因在1天龄小鼠的睾丸组织生精上皮内无杂交信号;在未成熟小鼠的睾丸组织部分生精上皮内有极强的杂交信号;在成熟小鼠的睾丸组织生精上皮内无杂交信号.②小鼠睾丸组织生精上皮内,凋亡细胞数从生后第15-20天呈增加趋势,于生后第20天出现峰值,生后第25天又降低.上述结果表明Si1基因可能参与了小鼠睾丸的发育过程,在小鼠睾丸发育的特定时期发挥作用,由于Si1基因的表达与小鼠生精细胞凋亡发生的时期同步,表明该基因可能与小鼠睾丸发育过程中的细胞凋亡有关.     

Prokaryotic expression, localization and function of the infectious laryngotracheitis virus glycoprotein G

The infectious laryngotracheitis virus （ILTV） glycoprotein G （gG） gene of E3 and Zhonghai strains was cloned, sequenced and compared with the gG gene of other Type Ⅰ animal herpesviruses. To find the localization and the function of the gG in the infected cells, the 35 kD fusion protein （His-GG） was expressed by inserting the coding region of gG except for the signal peptide into pET30a （＋）. After purification of the His-GG fusion protein, the rats＇ antibody to the His-GG was prepared and purified by using the protein G Sepbarose. Results of laser scanning confocal microscopy （LSCM） detection showed that the ILTV gG was in the perinuclear region and membrane of chicken embryo liver （CEL） and kidney （CEK） cells, and that the gG accumulated more in the coalescent part than in the other parts of the adjacent CEL or CEK cells. The plaque size and the one-step growth curve tests suggested that the ILTV gG was required for viral growth by cell-to-cell direct infection in tissue-cultured CEL cells.
