锌对镉在河南华溪蟹鳃组织亚细胞中富集的影响

为了研究锌对镉在河南华溪蟹(Sinopotamon henanense)鳃中富集的影响,本文选择不同浓度镉锌联合处理14 d和28 d后,采用亚细胞分离法将鳃组织分为热稳定蛋白(HSP)、富含金属颗粒(MRG)、生物活性部分(BAM)和细胞碎片部分(CD),其中,热稳定蛋白(HSP)和富含金属颗粒(MRG)组成生物解毒部分(BDM),利用火焰原子吸收分光光度法(AAS)测定各个亚细胞组分中镉的含量.结果显示,BDM是镉富集的重要场所,镉在其中所占比例达到50%.其中,BDM包括热稳定蛋白(HSP)和富含金属颗粒组分(MRG).随着镉处理浓度的增加,锌对镉在HSP和MRG中的蓄积表现为先促后抑的作用.在BAM中,加锌促进镉的蓄积,且相较于高浓度锌(1000μg·L-1),低浓度锌(100μg·L-1)的促进作用更为显著.研究表明,锌对镉在河南华溪蟹鳃中的富集及分布有一定影响.     

镉锌在河南华溪蟹鳃中的吸收途径及亚细胞分布研究

采用火焰原子分光光度法检测了河南华溪蟹(Sinopotamon henanense)鳃中重金属镉、锌的含量,进而探讨了镉、锌两种金属在河南华溪蟹鳃组织中的吸收途径及亚细胞分布情况.实验首先运用Ca2+通道抑制剂三氯化镧(La Cl3)和巯基抑制剂N-乙烷基顺丁烯二酰亚胺(NEM)对河南华溪蟹预处理4 h,然后再用不同浓度镉(50、100、500μg·L-1)、锌(100、1000μg·L-1)分别处理7 d.实验结果显示,La Cl3仅抑制了鳃组织中镉的吸收,而NEM抑制了鳃组织中镉、锌的吸收.在亚细胞组分中,La Cl3降低了镉在细胞碎片和细胞器中的分布,NEM减少了镉在热稳定蛋白及锌在热变性蛋白部分的分布;两种抑制剂均增加了锌在金属富含颗粒部分的分布.实验结果表明,在河南华溪蟹鳃组织的不同亚细胞组分中,镉、锌两种重金属的分布具有差异,推测La Cl3和NEM均可调控镉的吸收,而NEM只调控锌的吸收.

钙信号对镉诱导河南华溪蟹细胞凋亡的调控

以河南华溪蟹(Sinopptamon henanense)为研究材料,采用生理生化和酶学组织化学等方法,通过不同时间(12、24、48、72和96 h)不同镉浓度(0、14.5、29、58 mg·L-1)处理,首先研究了镉对肝胰腺细胞内钙调素(CaM)含量、钙ATP酶(Ca2+-ATPase)活性和细胞凋亡的影响;然后用Ca2+抑制剂EGTA和LaCl3预处理河南华溪蟹后再进行镉处理,以分析Ca2+信号对镉诱导肝胰腺细胞凋亡的影响.结果显示,镉处理引起肝胰腺细胞CaM含量和Ca2+-ATPase活性显著升高,并且Caspase-3和Caspase-9被激活.用Ca2+抑制剂EGTA和LaCl3预处理华溪蟹4 h后,再用镉处理48 h,镉诱导的肝胰腺细胞Caspase-3和Caspase-9活性上升都被阻断.结果表明:镉处理引起河南华溪蟹肝胰腺细胞Ca2+浓度发生变化,并通过CaM等信号分子调控Caspase-3/9活性,进而引发细胞凋亡.     

华溪蟹功能性重组金属硫蛋白的表达及抗血清制备

采用SUMO融合表达系统表达河南华溪蟹金属硫蛋白(Metallothionein,MT),经Ni离子螯合柱分离纯化后,用SDS-PAGE、紫外光谱扫描鉴定,并对重组MT的金属结合及清除自由基能力进行了检测.同时,利用纯化的融合蛋白SUMO-MT免疫BALB/c小鼠制备抗血清,间接ELISA检测该抗血清的效价,Western blot和免疫组化染色检测其特异性.结果表明,河南华溪蟹MT以可溶形式获得表达,经金属螯合层析纯化后分析仍具有金属结合特性和清除羟自由基的生物学功能.免疫BALB/c小鼠后获得特异性的抗MT抗血清,该抗血清具有较高的效价和良好的特异性,可识别组织MT,用于免疫组化分析.     

急性与亚慢性镉胁迫对河南华溪蟹消化系统亚细胞结构的影响

本实验运用透射电镜技术,观察了河南华溪蟹(Sinopotamon henanense)分别在镉29.0 mg·L-1急性染毒4 d和2.90 mg·L-1亚慢性染毒21 d后消化系统4种器官(食道、中肠、后肠和肝胰腺)亚显微结构的变化和损伤情况.结果显示:急性和亚慢性染毒均可导致各组织中细胞核变形、染色质浓缩边集、核固缩、核碎裂,线粒体空泡化、嵴缩短、融解甚至消失,但前者对各组织亚细胞的损伤更为严重;肝胰腺和中肠组织的病理变化较食道和后肠组织中的明显,镉胁迫后均可观察到上皮细胞内粗面内质网扩张变形、核糖体脱落,高尔基体形态结构异常,微绒毛排列紊乱、部分融解、断裂,出现大量的自噬溶酶体;食道和后肠的肌纤维水肿、肌原纤维排列疏松.急性与亚慢性镉处理均会对河南华溪蟹的消化系统产生毒害,造成各组织器官中细胞结构的严重损伤,且急性高浓度的镉暴露对机体造成的毒性影响较为严重.这些损伤会影响消化酶的合成和分泌等生理功能,导致机体失去正常的消化能力.     

虾夷扇贝对镉的蓄积和排放规律

实验研究了虾夷扇贝不同组织(鳃,内脏,外套膜和贝柱)在受到重金属Cd2+污染后的蓄积和排放规律。结果表明:(1)在染毒实验期间,海水中Cd2+不断被虾夷扇贝累积,且其内脏团、外套膜、鳃、贝柱中Cd2+的蓄积量均随暴露时间增加而增大。到第14 d均达到平衡。达到平衡后Cd2+蓄积量(干重)和蓄积速率均为:内脏团>鳃>外套膜>贝柱。其数值分别为:562.93×10-6和40.21×10-6/d,354.27×10-6和25.31×10-6/d,125.36×10-6和8.95×10-6/d,34.49×10-6和2.46×10-6/d。(2)排放实验期间,各组织中Cd2+蓄积量随排放时间的增加而逐渐下降。至排放第10天各组织中的Cd2+排出率为:贝柱﹥鳃﹥外套膜﹥内脏,各组织中Cd2+含量明显降低。表明:经短时间镉污染的虾夷扇贝,转入清洁海水一段时间对其体内Cd2+的排出是很有效的。(3)不同浓度Cd2+对虾夷扇贝各组织的影响实验表明:当Cd2+浓度相同时,扇贝不同组织蓄积量和富集系数次序均为:内脏团>鳃>外套膜>贝柱。虾夷扇贝各组织Cd2+蓄积量均随着暴露水体中Cd2+含量的增加而增加,海水中Cd2+浓度不影响Cd2+在虾夷扇贝各组织内的分配次序。而同一组织对Cd2+的富集系数与其蓄积量不同,它随着金属浓度的升高而呈现下降的趋势,贝柱的富集系数始终处在最低值。     

镉对河南华溪蟹副性腺组织的氧化性损伤作用

为了探明慢性镉胁迫对河南华溪蟹(Sinopotamon henanense)副性腺的生殖毒性作用,实验设置了2个镉浓度组(0.725和1.45 mg·L-1)、1个对照组、3个处理时间(7、14和28 d),研究了镉在副性腺组织的积累,以及镉对副性腺组织细胞结构、抗氧化酶,如超氧化物歧化酶(SOD)、过氧化氢酶(CAT)、谷胱甘肽过氧化物酶(GPx)活性及脂质过氧化水平(MDA含量)、蛋白质羰基化(PCO含量)和DNA-蛋白质交联(DPC)的影响.结果显示,镉处理后在河南华溪蟹副性腺组织中的积累显著或极显著高于对照组,且随着时间的延长和镉浓度的增加,副性腺组织镉的积累逐渐增高;副性腺组织细胞结构发生了不同程度的改变,主要表现为上皮细胞与基膜分离甚至破裂导致细胞核丢失.镉浓度0.725和1.45 mg·L-1条件下处理28 d,基膜结构发生明显改变,上皮细胞和基膜之间出现较大空腔,上皮细胞细胞核变形.SOD和GPx活性先升后降,而CAT的活性则随着镉浓度的增加逐渐升高;PCO含量和DPC均随着时间的延长和浓度的增加而显著升高;MDA含量也呈明显的升高趋势,但在28 d有所下降.表明慢性镉胁迫对河南华溪蟹副性腺产生了明显的氧化损伤,可能会影响副性腺正常的生理功能.     

鲤鱼对食物及水中镉的摄取及在组织中的分配

这项研究的目的是要评价被污染的捕食对象是否是鱼体中镉的主要来源,为了这一目的我们研究了鲤鱼对食物及水中镉的摄取及在组织中的分配。在实验中,将鱼暴露在镉污染的食物或水中四星期。当暴露在被污染的食物中时,将鱼放置在清洁的水中,喂食污染的幼虫,幼虫事先在99μg/L的镉溶液中达到平衡。鱼暴露在污染的水中期间(名义上是100μgcd/L,,实际上是80μgcd/L)鱼被喂食无污染的食物。喂食污染的幼虫的鱼体组织中镉的积累量递增的顺序是肠>肾>肝=鳃>肌肉,而用污染的水做实验的顺序是肠>鳃>肾>肝>肌肉,对于这两条途径,几乎所有的组织中镉的摄取都是相似的,只是来自污染水中的鱼鳃镉积累量比来自污染食物中的鱼鳃要高。这些发现表明在污染的水体中,鱼从污染的猎物中对镉的摄取起着重要作用。     

镉对河南华溪蟹肝胰腺线粒体的影响

运用透射电镜技术、电镜细胞化学技术、酶组织化学技术和JC-1荧光染色,观察不同浓度镉对河南华溪蟹(Sinopotamon henanense)肝胰腺线粒体的损伤.实验设对照组和5个染毒组:3.56、7 12、14.25、28.49和56.98 mg·L-1,处理时间为72 h.透射电镜观察显示,在低浓度组,线粒体轻度肿胀,部分线粒体外膜破裂,随染毒浓度的增加,线粒体水肿增加,嵴缩短甚至消失,直至线粒体破裂.酶组织化学检测显示,琥珀酸脱氢酶(succinic dehydrogenase,SDH)主要在细胞浆中表达,呈蓝紫色颗粒.SDH活性在3.56、7.12和14.25 mg·L-1浓度组中比对照组显著增加(p＜0.05),而在28.49和56.98 mg·L-1浓度组中没有明显变化.SDH的亚细胞定位结果与酶组织化学检测的结果一致.JC-1荧光强度在3.56、7.12和14.25 mg·L-1浓度组比对照组显著增加(p＜0.05).线粒体膜电位与SDH的活性有正相关性(r=0.736,p＜0.05).结果显示,镉引起线粒体结构损伤、功能障碍,并与镉浓度具有剂量-效应关系.线粒体是镉细胞毒性的重要靶位.     

Toxic effects of acetochlor, methamidophos and their combination on nifH gene in soil

Toxic effects of two agrochemicals on nifH gene in agricultural black soil were investigated using denaturing gradient gel electrophoresis （DGGE） and sequencing approaches in a microcosm experiment. Changes of soil nifH gene diversity and composition were examined following the application of acetochlor, methamidophos and their combination. Acetochlor reduced the nifH gene diversity （both in gene richness and diversity index values） and caused changes in the nifH gene composition. The effects of acetochlor on nifH gene were strengthened as the concentration of acetochlor increased. Cluster analysis of DGGE banding patterns showed that nifH gene composition which had been affected by low concentration of acetochlor （50 mg/kg） recovered firstly. Methamidophos reduced nifH gene richness that except at 4 weeks. The medium concentration of methamidophos （150 mg/kg） caused the most apparent changes in nifH gene diversity at the first week while the high concentration of methamidophos （250 mg/kg） produced prominent effects on nifH gene diversity in the following weeks. Cluster analysis showed that minimal changes of nifH gene composition were found at 1 week and maximal changes at 4 weeks. Toxic effects of acetochlor and methamidophos combination on nifH gene were also apparent. Different nifH genes （bands） responded differently to the impact of agrochemicals： four individual bands were eliminated by the application of the agrochemicals, five bands became predominant by the stimulation of the agrochemicals, and four bands showed strong resistance to the influence of the agrochemicals. Fifteen prominent bands were partially sequenced, yielding 15 different nifH sequences, which were used for phylogenetic reconstructions. All sequences were affiliated with the alpha- and beta-proteobacteria, showing higher similarity to eight different diazotrophic genera.     

Arsenic uptake by arbuscular mycorrhizal maize （Zea mays L.） grown in an arsenic-contaminated soil with added phosphorus

The effects of arbuscular mycorrhizal (AM) fungus (Glomus mosseae) and phosphorus (P) addition (100 mg/kg soil) on arsenic (As) uptake by maize plants (Zea mays L.) from an As-contaminated soil were examined in a glasshouse experiment.Non-mycorrhizal and zero-P addition controls were included.Plant biomass and concentrations and uptake of As,P,and other nutrients,AM colonization,root lengths,and hyphal length densities were determined.The results indicated that addition of P significantly inhibited root colonization and development of extraradical mycelium.Root length and dry weight both increased markedly with mycorrhizal colonization under the zero-P treatments,but shoot and root biomass of AM plants was depressed by P application.AM fungal inoculation decreased shoot As concentrations when no P was added,and shoot and root As concentrations of AM plants increased 2.6 and 1.4 times with P addition,respectively.Shoot and root uptake of P,Mn,Cu,and Zn increased,but shoot Fe uptake decreased by 44.6%,with inoculation, when P was added.P addition reduced shoot P,Fe,Mn,Cu,and Zn uptake of AM plants,but increased root Fe and Mn uptake of the nonmycorrhizal ones.AM colonization therefore appeared to enhance plant tolerance to As in low P soil,and have some potential for the phytostabilization of As-contaminated soil,however,P application may introduce additional environmental risk by increasing soil As mobility.     

Degradation of metabolites accumulated of benzo[a]pyrene by coupling Penicillium Chrysogenum with KMnO4

Several main metabolites of benzo[a]pyrene （BaP） formed by Penicillium chrysogenum, Benzo[a]pyrene-1,6-quinone （BP 1,6- quinone）, trans-7,8-dihydroxy-7,8-dihydrobenzo[a]pyrene （BP 7,8-diol）, 3-hydroxybenzo[a]pyrene （3-OHBP）, were identified by high-performance liquid chromatography （HPLC）. The three metabolites were liable to be accumulated and were hardly further metabolized because of their toxicity to microorganisms. However, their further degradation was essential for the complete degradation of BaP. To enhance their degradation, two methods, degradation by coupling Penicillium chrysogenum with KMnO4 and degradation only by Penicillium chrysogenum, were compared; Meanwhile, the parameters of degradation in the superior method were optimized. The results showed that （1） the method of coupling Penicillium chrysogenum with KMnO4 was better and was the first method to be used in the degradation of BaP and its metabolites; （2） the metabolite, BP 1,6-quinone was the most liable to be accumulated in pure cultures; （3） the effect of degradation was the best when the concentration of KMnO4 in the cultures was 0.01% （w/v）, concentration of the three compounds was 5 mg/L and pH was 6.2. Based on the experimental results, a novel concept with regard to the bioremediation of BaP-contaminated environment was discussed, considering the influence on environmental toxicity of the accumulated metabolites.     

Impact of atrazine and nitrogen fertilizers on the sorption of chlorotoluron in soil and model sorbents

Sorption of chlorotoluron in ammonium sulfate, urea and atrazine multi-solutes system was investigated by batch experiments. The results showed application of nitrogen fertilizers to the soil could affect the behavior of chlorotoluron. At the same concentration of N, sorption of chlorotoluron decreased as the concentration of atrazine increased on the day 0 and 6 in soil, respectively. The sorption of chlorotoluron increased from 0 to 6 d when soils were preincubated with deionized water, ammonium sulfate and urea solution for 6 d. That indicated incubation time was one of the most important factors for the sorption of chlorotoluron in nitrogen fertilizers treatments. The individual sorption isotherms of chlorotoluron in rubbery polymer and silica were strictly linear in single solute system, but there were competition sorption between pesticides or between pesticides and nitrogen fertilizers. That indicated the sorption taken place by concurrent solid-phase dissolution mechanism and sorption on the interface of water-organic matter or water-mineral matter.     

Potential of plant polyphenol oxidases in the decolorization and removal of textile and non-textile dyes

In this study an effort has been made to use plant polyphenol oxidases; potato （Solanum tuberosum） and brinjal （Solanum melongena）, for the treatment of various important dyes used in textile and other industries. The ammonium sulphate fractionated enzyme preparations were used to treat a number of dyes under various experimental conditions. Majority of the treated dyes were maximally decolorized at pH 3.0. Some of the dyes were quickly decolorized whereas others were marginally decolorized. The initial first hour was sufficient for the maximum decolorization of dyes. The rate of decolorization was quite slow on long treatment of dyes. Enhancement in the dye decolorization was noticed on increasing the concentration of enzymes. The complex mixtures of dyes were treated with both preparations of polyphenol oxidases in the buffers of varying pH values. Potato polyphenol oxidase was significantly more effective in decolorizing the dyes to higher extent as compared to the enzyme obtained from brinjal polyphenol oxidase. Decolorization of dyes and their mixtures, followed by the formation of an insoluble precipitate, which could be easily removed simply by centrifugation.     

Effects of two sludge application on fractionation and phytotoxicity of zinc and copper in the soil

The potential harm of heavy metals is a primary concern in application of sludge to the agricultural land. A pot experiment was conducted to evaluate the effect of two sludges on fractionation of Zn and Cu in soil and their phytotoxicity to pakchoi. The loamy soil was mixed with 0%, 20%, 40%, 60% and 80% (by weight) of digested sewage sludge (SS) and composted sludge (SC). The additions of both sludges caused a significant raise in all fractions, resulting in that exchangeable (EXCH) and organic bound (OM) became predominance of Zn and organic bound Cu occupied the largest portion. There was more available amount of Zn and Cu in SS treatments than SC treatments. During the pot experiment, the concentration of Zn in EXCH, carbonate (CAR) and OM and Cu in EXCH and OM fractions decreased in all treatments, so their bioavailability reduced. Germination rate and plant biomass decreased when the addition rate was high and the best yield appeared in 20% mixtures at the harvest of pakchoi. The two sludges increased tissue contents of Zn and Cu especially in the SS treatments. Zn in pakchoi was not only in relationship to ΔEXCH and ΔCAR forms but also in ΔOM forms in the sludge-soil mixtures. Tissue content of Cu in pakchoi grown on SC-soils could not be predicted by ΔEXCH. These correlation rates between Zn and Cu accumulation in pakchoi and variation of different fractions increased with time, which might indicate that sludges represented stronger impacts on the plant in long-term land application.     

Intraspecific differences in effects of co-contamination of cadmium and

A hydroponic experiment was carried out to study intraspecific differences in the effects of different concentrations of cadmium (Cd)(0-10 mg/L) and arsenate (As(V)) (0-8 mg/L) on the growth parameters and accumulation of Cd and As in six wheat varieties Jing-9428, Duokang-1, Jingdong-11, Jing-411, Jingdong-8 and Zhongmai-8. The endpoints of wheat seedlings, including seed germination,biomass, root length and shoot height, decreased with increasing the Cd and As concentrations. Significant differences in seed germination, biomass, root length, shoot height and the accumulation of Cd and As were observed between the treatments and among the varieties (p ＜ 0.05). The lethal dosage 50% were about 20, 80, 60, 60, 80 and 20 mg As/L for Jing-9428, Duokang-1, Jingdong-11,Jing-411, Jingdong-8 and Zhongmai-8, respectively, and the corresponding values for Cd were about 30, 80, 20, 40, 60 and 10 mg Cd/L, respectively. Among the six varieties, Duokang-1 was found to be the most resistant to Cd and As toxicity, and Zhongmai-8 was the most sensitive to Cd and As co-contamination. The resistance of the six varieties was found dependant on the seedling uptake of Cd and As. Duokang-1 was the most suitable for cultivation in Cd and As co-contaminated soils.

Isolation and preliminary characterization of a 3-chlorobenzoate degrading bacteria

A study was conducted to compare the diversity of 2-, 3-, and 4-chlorobenzoate degraders in two pristine soils and one contaminated sewage sludge. These samples contained strikingly different populations of mono-chlorobenzoate degraders. Although fewer cultures were isolated in the uncontaminated soils than contaminated one, the ability of microbial populations to mineralize chlorobenzoate was widespread. The 3- and 4-chlorobenzoate degraders were more diverse than the 2-chlorobenzoate degraders. One of the strains isolated from the sewage sludge was obtained. Based on its phenotype, chemotaxonomic properties and 16S rRNA gene, the organism S-7 was classified as Rhodococcus erythropolis. The strain can grow at temperature from 4 to 37℃. It can utilize several （halo）aromatic compounds. Moreover, strain S-7 can grow and use 3-chlorobenzoate as sole carbon source in a temperatures range of 10-30℃ with stoichiometric release of chloride ions. The psychrotolerant ability was significant for bioremediation in low temperature regions. Catechol and chlorocatechol 1,2-dioxygenase activities were present in cell free extracts of the strain, but no （chloro）catechol 2,3- dioxygenase activities was detected. Spectral conversion assays with extracts from R. erythropolis S-7 showed accumulation of a compound with a similar UV spectrum as chloro-cis,cis-muconate from 3-chlorobenzoate. On the basis of these results, we proposed that S-7 degraded 3-chlorobenzoate through the modified ortho-cleave pathway.     

Single and joint effects of pesticides and mercury on soil urease

The influence of two pesticides including chlorimuron-ethyl and furadan and mercury （Hg） on urease activity in 4 soils （meadow burozem and phaeozem） was investigated. The soils were exposed to various concentrations of the two pesticides and Hg individually and simultaneously. Results showed that there was a close relationship between urease activity and organic matter content in soil. Chlorimuron-ethyl and furadan could both activate urease in the 4 soils. The maximum increment of urease activity by chlorimuronethyl was up to 14%-18%. There was almost an equal increase （up to 13%-21%） in the urease activity by furadan. On the contrary, Hg markedly inhibited soil urease activity. A logarithmic equation was used to describe the relationship （P〈0.05） between the concentration of Hg and the activity of soil urease in the 4 tested soils. Semi-effect dose （ED50） values by the stress of Hg based on the inhibition of soil urease in the 4 soils were 88, 5.5, 24 and 20 mg/kg, respectively, according to the calculation of the corresponding equations. The interactive effect of chlorimuron-ethyl or furadan with metal Hg on soil urease was mainly synergic at the highest tested concentrations.
