应用nanoLC/MS/MS对人羊水的蛋白质组学分析

建立应用nano LC/MS/MS技术寻找羊水特异性表达蛋白质的蛋白质组学方法.羊膜穿刺获取两份正常妊娠晚期的羊水,通过Cibacron blue和Protein A吸附去除血清白蛋白和IgGs,样品经变性、还原和烷基化后酶解,nano LC/MS/MS分析,鉴定了62种蛋白质.通过与已有的羊水和血浆蛋白质表达数据库比对,从中新发现22种只在羊水中表达的蛋白质,其中4种已知是子宫或妊娠特异的.本研究建立了nano LC/MS/MS对羊水进行蛋白组学分析的方法并发现了一些可能的羊水特异表达蛋白.     

Mesoderm induction in early Xenopus embryos by heparin-binding growth factors

In early embryonic development the basic body plan arises because cells in different regions become programmed to follow different developmental pathways. We have proposed that in the early amphibian embryo this process of regional specification arises from the action of three different inducing factors, or morphogens, but we have not until now had any idea of their chemical nature. In this paper we report that pure basic fibroblast growth factor (bFGF), at very low concentrations and with high specificity, closely mimics the effect of the ventrovegetal (VV) signal and that the transmission of the natural VV signal can be blocked by heparin, suggesting that it may be a heparin-binding factor such as bFGF.     

不同温度培养对根癌农杆菌生长及水稻幼胚再生的影响

设计26,30,34,36,38,40℃6个温度对根癌农杆菌进行培养.结果显示:根癌农杆菌在38℃和40℃条件下无法生长;将水稻幼胚经26℃诱导获得的愈伤组织分别放置在农杆茵不能耐受的38℃和40℃环境中培养.并设计了7,14,21,28d不同培养时间,同时以26℃常规培养温度作为对照,分析在较高温度条件下培养对水稻愈伤组织再生的影响.结果显示:水稻幼胚诱导的愈伤组织经过38℃所有时间及40℃部分时间(7,14d)下模拟抗性筛选培养,仍然能够正常生长,而且经38℃、14d继代培养的愈伤组织植株再生率比26℃常规培养提高63.17%,统计分析两者达显著差异.     

Pathway selection by growth cones of identified motoneurones in live zebra fish embryos

How is the adult pattern of connections between motoneurones and the muscles that they innervate established during vertebrate development? Populations of motoneurones are thought to follow one of two patterns of development: (1) motor axons initially follow stereotyped pathways and project to appropriate regions of the developing muscle or (2) motor axons initially project to some regions that are incorrect, the inappropriate projections being eliminated subsequently. Here we observed individually identified motoneurones in live zebra fish embryos as they formed growth cones and as their growth cones navigated towards their targets. We report that from axogenesis, each motor axon followed a stereotyped pathway and projected only to the specific region of the muscle appropriate for its adult function. In addition, the peripheral arbor established by each motoneurone was restricted to a stereotyped region of its own segment and did not overlap with the peripheral arbor of the other motoneurones in that segment. We conclude that the highly stereotyped pattern of innervation seen in the adult is due to initial selection of the appropriate pathway, rather than elimination of incorrect projections.
