目的:探讨大鼠海马发育过程中坍塌反应调节蛋白(CRMPs)家族mRNA的表达规律.方法:用RT-PCR方法检测大鼠发育不同阶段CRMPs家族mRNA的表达.结果:RT-PCR实际扩增长度与设计长度相吻合.内参照β-actin电泳条带在发育各时期灰度无明显差异.CRMP-1 mRNA以新生鼠和幼年鼠表达最多,成年大鼠弱表达(P<0.05).CRMP-2从胚胎鼠至幼年鼠呈现逐渐增加的趋势,成年鼠相对较低(P<0.05).CRMP-3以幼鼠和成年大鼠表达较多,其中幼鼠表达最多(P<0.05),新生鼠表达最少(P<0.05).CRMP-4在胎鼠、新生鼠和幼年鼠表达量接近,成年鼠表达相对较低(P<0.05).CRMP-5在各个阶段均呈较高表达,以新生鼠和成年鼠表达较多,其中成年大鼠表达最多(P<0.05),胎鼠表达最弱(P<0.05).结论:从胚胎期至幼年期,CRMPs家族除CRMP-4稳定于高表达水平外,其余成员表达量均逐渐增多,其中CRMP-3和CRMP-5区别于其他成员,在成年期表达量继续增高.     

巴西橡胶树树皮蛋白质组学分析体系的构建

巴西橡胶树(Hevea brasiliensis)是一种重要的产胶植物,其体内合成和贮存胶乳的地方是乳管系统,而乳管主要分布于树皮中。以10年生巴西橡胶树无性系“热研88-13”为研究对象,采用改进的三氯乙酸(TCA) 丙酮沉淀法提取树皮蛋白,使用17 cm,pH 4~7的IPG胶条进行双向电泳,得到良好的蛋白图谱。PDQuest软件(Bio rad)分析银染后的凝胶,共得到约350个蛋白点。从这些蛋白点中随机选取10个蛋白点经基质辅助激光解析电离飞行时间质谱(MALDI TOF MS)分析后,搜索NCBInr数据库对蛋白进行鉴定。结果显示,这些蛋白主要包括两种来源于巴西橡胶树中的重要蛋白,即橡胶小粒子蛋白(Small rubber particle protein)和橡胶树凝集因子(hevein),此外还有一些其他功能和未知功能的蛋白。     

松材线虫和拟松材线虫活体染色比较其分泌-排泄物

松树萎蔫病是由松材线虫(Bursaphelenchusxylophilus)引起的松属树种上的一种毁灭性的病害,因此,对松材线虫致病机理的研究具有重要的理论和实践意义.根据松材线虫和拟松材线虫致病性的差异,通过活体染色对松材线虫和拟松材线虫分泌-排泄物进行了比较研究,发现松材线虫和拟松材线虫线虫分泌-排泄物存在明显的差别,这种差别可能与松材线虫的致病性有关.     

棉花细胞壁蛋白基因分离鉴定与表达分析

棉纤维起源于棉花胚珠外层表皮细胞．研究棉纤维发育,具有重要理论和实践意义．从棉纤维等组织cDNA文库中分离了186个棉花细胞壁结构蛋白基因,按照所编码的蛋白质结构特点,可将这些基因分为三类;富含脯氨酸细胞壁蛋白（Proline—rich cell wall proteins,PRPs）基因、伸展蛋白（Extensins）或者富含羟脯氨酸糖蛋白（Hydroxyproline—rich glycoprotein,HRGP）基因,富含甘氨酸蛋白（Glycine—rich proteins,GRPs）基因．采用cDNA microarray技术,比较上述基因在开花后10天的野生型棉花纤维和无絮无绒（fuzzless—lintless,fl）突变体胚珠表皮中表达谱发现,其中有7个基因在野生型纤维中特异性或高效性表达,表明它们可能与纤维发育有关．     

Targeted inhibition of Livin resensitizes renal cancer cells towards apoptosis

Cancer cells are typically characterized by apoptosis deficiency. In order to investigate a possible role for the anti-apoptotic livin gene in renal cell cancer (RCC), we analyzed its expression in tumor tissue samples and in RCC-derived cell lines. In addition, we studied the contribution of livin to the apoptotic resistance of RCC cells by RNA interference (RNAi). Livin gene expression was detected in a significant portion of RCC tumor tissue specimens (13/14, 92.9%) and tumor-derived cell lines (12/15, 80.0%). Moreover, targeted inhibition of livin by RNAi markedly sensitized RCC cells towards proapoptotic stimuli, such as UV irradiation or the chemotherapeutic drugs etoposide, 5-fluorouracil, and vinblastine. These effects were specific for livin expressing tumor cells. We conclude that livin can contribute significantly to the apoptosis resistance of RCC cells. Targeted inhibition of livin could represent a novel therapeutic strategy to increase the sensitivity of renal cancers towards pro-apoptotic agents.

<Emphasis Type="Italic">Legionella pneumophila</Emphasis> — a human pathogen that co-evolved with fresh water protozoa

The bacterial pathogen Legionella pneumophila is found ubiquitously in fresh water environments where it replicates within protozoan hosts. When inhaled by humans it can replicate within alveolar macrophages and cause a severe pneumonia, Legionnaires disease. Yet much needs to be learned regarding the mechanisms that allow Legionella to modulate host functions to its advantage and the regulatory network governing its intracellular life cycle. The establishment and publication of the complete genome sequences of three clinical L. pneumophila isolates paved the way for major breakthroughs in understanding the biology of L. pneumophila. Based on sequence analysis many new putative virulence factors have been identified foremost among them eukaryotic-like proteins that may be implicated in many different steps of the Legionella life cycle. This review summarizes what is currently known about regulation of the Legionella life cycle and gives insight in the Legionella-specific features as deduced from genome analysis.
