热激诱导烟草悬浮细胞的凋亡

烟草细胞经４８℃处理４ｈ再正常培养可出现典型的细胞凋亡的变化。ＤＮＡ梯状条带检测结果显示,４８℃处理４ｈ的样品,其基因组ＤＮＡ被降解形成明显的ＤＮＡ梯状条带,表明热激诱发了ＤＮＡ的核小体间的断裂,从而表现出典型的凋亡细胞的生化特征,而同样温度处理２和９ｈ的样品虽然仍可观察到ＤＮＡ梯状条带,但远不如处理４ｈ的清晰。对处理４ｈ的样品进行核ＤＮＡ断裂的原位检测,多数细胞显示极强的ＴＵＮＥＬ阳性,表明其细     

丁酸钠诱导HeLa细胞凋亡过程中端粒酶活性及端粒长度的变化

研究了丁酸钠诱导的ＨｅＬａ细胞凋亡过程中端粒酶活性和端粒长度的变化。丁酸钠处理４８ｈ后,ＨｅＬａ细胞表现出明显的凋亡特征：染色质凝集,形成凋亡小体,ＤＮＡ在核小体间断裂并降解产生梯状电泳图谱。凋亡细胞中端粒酶活性无显著改变,端粒长度却急剧缩短;抑制端粒酶活性后,细胞对凋亡刺激的易感性增强,端粒的降解加快。以上结果表明,丁酸钠诱导的细胞凋亡与端粒长度密切相关,但不影响端粒酶的活性。端粒酶则可以通过保     

Relationship Between Stimulated Ethylene Production and Alternative Respiration Pathway in “Royal Gala” Apple Fruit

Endogenous ethylene production and alternative oxidase (AOX) protein expression in “Royal Gala”apple fruits were investigated after treatments with cold (0℃ for 1 week) and heat (38℃ for 1 h). Amonoclonal antibody to the terminal oxidase of the alternative pathway from Sauromatum guttatum was used to identify the AOX protein in apple fruits. The molecular mass of AOX in “Royal Gala” apple fruits is approximately 38 kDa, similar to those reported in tobacco and tomato. The cold treatment depressed the release of endogenous ethylene production before the climacteric ethylene production and obviously induced the expression of AOX protein expression. The heat treatment had the opposite effects on the ethylene production and AOX protein expression. In addition, the climax of endogenous ethylene production preceded the maximum AOX expression after the cold temperature treatment. It is therefore proposed that in climacteric fruits the production of induced ethylene is not coordinated with the level of AOX protein.     

褪黑激素与地塞米松对小鼠胸腺发育影响的生物化学与细胞生物学研究(Ⅰ)——褪黑激素对小鼠胸腺细胞大分子掺入能力及超氧化物歧化酶活性的影响

研究胸腺细胞体外培养条件下的~3H-Tdr、~3H-Ura及~3H-Phe的掺入能力,并对胸腺组织超氧化物歧化酶(SOD)的活性进行了测定。与对照组相比,经褪黑激素(Melatonin)处理的动物,其~3H-Tdr、~3H-Phe的掺入量分别增加57.1％与42.8％,~3H-Ura的掺入量变化不明显(1.10～1.48×10~)-2)dpm/cell);SOD活性增加了12.5％;同时发现,实验组动物的胸腺-体重比提高了14.1％。结果表明,褪黑激素对延缓小鼠胸腺的随龄退化有一定的效果。

VK3诱导的植物细胞凋亡及其机理

ＶＫ３可诱导烟草细胞的凋亡,表现为：染化体凝集,凋亡小体形成,ＤＮＡ末端断裂、降解形成梯状电泳,此过程伴随特异核酸酶的激活,其活性依赖于Ｃａ＾２＋,Ｍｇ＾２＋,可被Ｚｎ＾２＋和ＥＤＴＡ（Ｅｔｈｙｌｅｎｅｄｉａｍｉｎｅｔｅｔｒａａｃｅｔｉｃ）抑制。ＤＮＡ降解可被ＤＥＶＤ（Ａｃ－Ａｓｐ－Ｇｌｕ－Ｖａｌ－Ａｓｐ－ａｌｄｅｈｙｄｅ）抑制。核纤层蛋白降解为３５ｋｕ片段,ＤＥＶＤ,ＰＭＳＦ（Ｐｈｅｎｙｌｍｅｔ
