适于双向电泳分析的银杏叶绿体蛋白质提取方法

【目的】获得银杏叶绿体蛋白质的提取方法,在蛋白质水平探讨银杏光合作用对环境的响应机制。【方法】建立一种适合银杏叶绿体蛋白双向电泳分离的实验体系,采用Tris-平衡酚抽提法对银杏叶绿体蛋白质进行提取,并与三氯乙酸(TCA)-丙酮沉降法进行对比分析。【结果】Percoll密度梯度离心法适用于银杏叶绿体的提取,提取的叶绿体平均完整率在85%左右。单向电泳结果显示,与TCA-丙酮沉降法相比,在用Tris-平衡酚抽提法分离的叶绿体蛋白质泳道中,低分子质量蛋白质条带更多、更清晰。进一步的双向电泳结果表明,用Tris-平衡酚抽提法对银杏叶绿体蛋白质进行提取,蛋白质产量更高,图谱清晰,所分离的蛋白点更多,形态更好,条纹影响相对较小。【结论】Tris-平衡酚抽提法可有效地提取高质量的叶绿体蛋白质并进行双向电泳,可用于银杏叶绿体的蛋白质组学分析。

两种不同示踪剂用于蛋白质与抗原分子微阵列信号检测的对比研究

以氧化型琼脂糖凝胶膜为基片，制作蛋白质与抗原分子微阵列，建立了检测固相人IgG,游离IgG和自身抗体分子的免疫学测定模式，分别以辣根过氧化物酶－二氨基联苯胺一双氧水（HRPDAB－H2O2）和胶体金－硝酸银－对苯二酚2种示踪系统作为蛋白质与抗原分子微阵列信号显示剂，并对其作用的原理与特点进行讨论，检测结果发现基于胶体金的免疫金银染色法（IGSS）比固相酶免疫测定法（EIA）敏感，2种示踪系统对固相人IgG的最低检出量分别为0．05ng和0．5ng；而对血清游离IgG的最低检出量IGSS法比EIA法至少高出10倍，两法用于自身抗体的测定亦表现出较好的重复性，在14例HCV感染者中，自身抗体的总体检出率分别为38．6％和31．4％，结果具有显著的同步性，故同时辅以2种示踪剂并用于阵列芯片的联合测试，有助于提高自身抗体的总体检出水平。

Developing pharmacological therapies for Alzheimer disease

Alzheimer disease (AD), while chronic and progressive with an average progression of 7 – 10 years, is both multifactorial and heterogeneous. Thus, AD offers a large window of opportunity and a large number of therapeutic targets to inhibit it. The selection of a therapeutic target, however, is one of the biggest challenges in developing a pharmacological treatment of this multifactorial disease. Inhibition of a pivotal downstream event is likely to benefit more patients than inhibition of an upstream event in AD pathogenesis. Neurofibrillary degeneration of abnormally hyperphosphorylated tau offers such a pivotal therapeutic target. Abnormal hyperphosphorylation of tau and not its aggregation into filaments appears to be the most deleterious step in neurofibrillary degeneration. Tau can be abnormally hyperphosphorylated by downregulation of protein phosphatase-2A activity or by upregulation of more than one tau kinase. Restoration of the phosphatase activity which is downregulated in AD brain or inhibition of GSK-3β and cdk5, which are required for AD-type abnormal hyperphosphorylation of tau, are among the most promising therapeutic strategies.     

Receptor communication within the lymphocyte plasma membrane: a role for the thrombospondin family of matricellular proteins

Lymphocytes, the principal cells of the immune system, carry out immune surveillance throughout the body by their unique capacity to constantly reposition themselves between a free-floating vascular state and a tissue state characterized by migration and frequent adhesive interactions with endothelial cells and components of the extracellular matrix. Therefore, mechanisms co-ordinating adhesion and migration with signals delivered through antigen recognition probably play a pivotal role for the regulation of lymphocyte behaviour and function. Endogenous thrombospondin-1 (TSP-1) seems to be the hub in such a mechanism for autocrine regulation of T cell adhesion and migration. TSP-1 functions as a mediator of cis interaction of vital receptors within the T lymphocyte plasma membrane, including integrins, low density lipoprotein receptor-related protein, calreticulin and integrin-associated protein.
