纳米二氧化钛对金鱼脑组织的氧化应激损伤

为探讨光催化型nano-TiO₂(纳米二氧化钛)对金鱼(Carassius auratus L.)脑组织的氧化应激损伤效应,以5 nm的锐钛型钛白粉为试验材料,分别在ρ(nano-TiO₂)为0、16、32、64、128 mg/L下对金鱼进行处理,测定金鱼脑组织MDA(丙二醛)、PC(羰基化蛋白)和H₂O₂含量,SOD(超氧化物歧化酶)和GPx(谷胱甘肽过氧化物酶)活性以及Cu/Zn-SOD蛋白表达量. 结果表明:ρ(nano-TiO₂)从0 mg/L升至128 mg/L,金鱼脑组织Cu/Zn-SOD活性从1.70×10-3 kat/kg(以鲜质量计,下同)降至0.35×10-3 kat/kg,再回升至0.46×10-3 kat/kg; Mn-SOD活性呈降—升—降趋势,MDA含量从0.85 nmol/g升至2.83 nmol/g,之后降至2.54 nmol/g;PC含量一直上升;H₂O₂含量从4.32 μmol/g升至9.28 μmol/g,之后降至8.38 μmol/g. 随着ρ(nano-TiO₂)的加大,Cu/Zn-SOD蛋白表达量逐渐减少. 研究表明,nano-TiO₂对金鱼脑组织具有很强的氧化损伤作用,MDA与PC含量升高与Cu/Zn-SOD和GPx活性下降相关,H₂O₂含量升高与GPx活性下降等因素有关.      

氯氰菊酯对海洋卡盾藻的毒性效应

为了解拟除虫菊酯农药对海洋生态系统以及海洋初级生产力的影响,研究了氯氰菊酯对重要赤潮藻类海洋卡盾藻(Chattonella marina)的生长及生化指标的影响.结果表明,低浓度(≤10μg·L-1)的氯氰菊酯对海洋卡盾藻生长具有明显的促进作用,而高于50μg·L-1则产生较明显的抑制效应,但暴露后期会出现一定的超补偿效应.藻细胞内叶绿素a(Chl.a)、可溶性糖和可溶性蛋白含量及超氧化物歧化酶(SOD)活性在暴露初期变化较剧烈,24h或48h后趋于平稳.随着培养(暴露)时间的延长,低浓度暴露组以上指标均呈现先促进后恢复趋势,而高浓度暴露组则呈现先抑制后恢复趋势,丙二醛(MDA)含量随培养(暴露)时间的延长呈先促进后恢复趋势且随氯氰菊酯浓度升高而明显升高.在实验设计浓度下,氯氰菊酯对SOD活性和MDA含量的最低作用剂量为10μg·L-1,而对其他生长和生化指标的最低抑制浓度为50μg·L-1,SOD和MDA可作为监测环境中氯氰菊酯污染的敏感指标.     

PCDD/Fs-induced oxidative damage and antioxidant system responses in tobacco cell suspension cultures

Polychlorinated dibenzo-p-dioxins and polychlorinated dibenzofurans (PCDD/Fs) are ubiquitous contaminants and can be considerably accumulated by natural plants. In order to elucidate the biochemical and physiological responses of plant to PCDD/Fs, tobacco Bright Yellow-2 (BY-2) cells were selected as model plant and treated with time- and concentration-dependent PCDD/Fs. The toxic effect and oxidative stress caused by PCDD/Fs were evident, which could be indicted by the reduction in fresh mass, the increase in malondialdehyde (MDA) content, and the damage of tobacco cell ultrastructure. PCDD/Fs tolerance was correlated with changes in antioxidant system and hormones of tobacco cells. Superoxide dismutase (SOD) and peroxidase (POD) exhibited peak enzyme activities at the PCDD/Fs concentration of 1000 ng WHO₉₈-TEQ g⁻¹ fresh weight. Glutathione reductase (GR) enzyme activity increased monotonically at high level PCDD/Fs, but the activity of catalase (CAT) was only slightly affected at all treatment. Meanwhile, the exposure to PCDD/Fs resulted in the changes of hormones content. With the increase of exposure concentration of PCDD/Fs, the levels of indole-3-acetic acid (IAA) and abscisic acid (ABA) increased, whereas the concentration of jasmonates (JAs) decreased. The above results suggest that tobacco cells had the ability to cope with the oxidative stress induced by low concentration of PCDD/Fs through increasing the activities of antioxidant enzymes and alternating plant hormones levels. However, oxidative stress and toxicity would burst out when plant cells were exposed to the high levels of PCDD/Fs.     

Differential physiological,ultramorphological and metabolic responses of cotton cultivars under cadmium stress

Cadmium (Cd) stress may cause serious physiological, ultramorphological and biochemical anomalies in plants. Cd-induced physiological, subcellular and metabolic alterations in two transgenic cotton cultivars (BR001, GK30) and their parent line (Coker 312) were evaluated using 10, 100 and 1000 μM Cd. Germination, fresh biomass of roots, stems and leaves were significantly inhibited at 1000 μM Cd. Root volume tolerance index significantly increased (124.16%) in Coker 312 at 1000 μM Cd. In non-Cd stressed conditions, electron micrographs showed well-configured root meristem and leaf mesophyll cells. At 1000 μM Cd, greater ultramorphological alterations were observed in BR001 followed by GK30 and Coker 312. These changes were observed in nucleus, vacuoles, mitochondria and chloroplast. Dense precipitates, probably Cd, were seen in vacuoles, which were also attached to the cell walls. A considerable increase in number of nuclei, vacuoles, starch granules and plastoglobuli was observed in the electron micrographs of both roots and leaves at 1000 μM Cd. MDA contents were higher in roots of BR001 at 1000 μM Cd. Mean values of SOD activity in leaves of both BR001 and GK30 at 1000 μM Cd significantly increased as compared to the controls. POD activity in roots of BR001 and Coker 312 was greater at all Cd (10, 100, 1000 μM) levels over the control. Regarding APX, highest percent increase (71.64%) in roots of GK30 at 1000 μM Cd was found. Non-significant differences in CAT activity were observed at all levels of Cd stress in leaves of BR001 and GK30. Both transgenic cotton cultivars and their parental line invariably responded towards Cd stress. However, Coker 312 showed Cd-resistant behavior as compared to its progeny lines (BR001 and GK30).     

Ultraviolet irradiation induced oxidative stress and response of antioxidant system in an intertidal macroalgae Corallina officinalis L.

The response of the antioxidant defense system of an intertidal macroalgae Corallina officinalis L. to different dosages of UV-B irradiation was investigated. Results showed that superoxide dimutase (SOD) and peroxidase (POX) increased and then maintained at a relatively stable level when subjected to UV-B irradiation. Catalase (CAT) activity under medium dosage of UV-B irradiation (Muv) and high dosage of UV-B irradiation (Huv) treatments were significantly decreased. Ascorbate peroxidase (APX) activity first remained unaltered and then increased in Huv treatment. In addition, the assay on isozymes was carried out using non-denaturing polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis (PAGE). The activities of some SOD isoforms were altered by UV-B. Two new bands (POX V and POX Ⅶ) appeared upon exposure to all three UV-B dosages. CAT Ⅲ activity was increased by low dosage of UV-B irradiation (Luv),whereas CAT Ⅲ and CAT Ⅳ disappeared when the alga was exposed to Muv and Huv. Two bands of APX (APX Ⅵ and APX Ⅶ)were increased and a new band (APX X) was observed under Huv exposure. H2O2 and thiobarbituric acid reacting substance (TBARS)increased under Muv and Huv treatments. Overall, UV-B protection mechanisms are partly inducible and to a certain extent sufficient to prevent the accumulation of damage in C officinalis.     

模拟N、P污水对水稻幼苗过氧化物酶和超氧化物歧化酶的影响

以水稻为材料，研究了不同浓度的模拟Ｎ、Ｐ污水对幼苗过氧化物酶（ＰＯＤ，ＥＣ１．１１．１．７）和超氧化物歧化酶（ＳＯｏＤ，ＥＣ１．１５．１．１）及其同工酶等的影响，结果表明：在总氮浓度（Ｎｒ）为０─９０ｍｇ／Ｌ和总磷浓度（Ｐ＿Ｔ）为０─９ｍｇ／Ｌ范围内，ＰＯＤ与Ｎ、Ｐ浓度呈正相关，Ｎ＿Ｔ超过９０ｍｇ／Ｌ和Ｐ＿Ｔ超过９ｍｇ／Ｌ这一阈值后呈下降趋势，ＮＴ在０─１２０ｍｇ／Ｌ和Ｐ＿Ｔ在０─１２ｍｇ／Ｌ范围内，ＳＯＤ，丙二醛（ＭＤＡ）与Ｎ、Ｐ浓度呈显著正相关；Ｎ、Ｐ能诱导产生新的同工酶带，苗高、可溶性蛋白分别与Ｎ、Ｐ浓度呈显著负相关．     

六氯苯对离体鱼肝线粒体抗氧化酶的作用

采用差速离心法从鲫鱼肝脏中提取线粒体,用不同浓度(0,2,4,8,16,32mg/L)六氯苯对其体外染毒30min.测定线粒体超氧化物歧化酶(SOD)和谷胱甘肽过氧化物酶(GSH-Px)活性,用聚丙烯酰胺凝胶电泳法分析其同工酶谱,并检测线粒体中丙二醛(MDA)含量.结果显示,SOD和GSH-Px活性及其同工酶的活性表达均呈现出低浓度六氯苯作用下被激活,高浓度六氯苯作用下被抑制的变化趋势.在高浓度六氯苯(32mg/L)作用下线粒体中MDA含量显著增加.说明六氯苯的毒性作用可能为一种自由基机制,即低浓度的六氯苯导致线粒体内活性氧自由基(ROS)生成量少量增加,SOD和GSH-Px及其同工酶活性由于氧化应激的诱导被激活;随着六氯苯浓度增加,线粒体内ROS生成量大量增加,并破坏了SOD和GSH-Px的抗氧化活性,导致其活力下降或丧失,自由基含量增加,线粒体脂质过氧化加剧.     

重金属Cu2+,Pb2+和Zn2+胁迫对近江牡蛎(Crassostrea rivularis) SOD活性影响研究

为探讨将近江牡蛎(Crassostrea rivularis)抗氧化酶防御体系参数作为海洋重金属污染生物监测指标可行性,文章在实验室条件下,研究这三种重金属暴露对近江牡蛎(C.rivularis)鳃和消化腺组织SOD活性的诱导作用;实验结果表明:Cu2 ,Pb2 和Zn2 能诱导近江牡蛎(C.rivularis)腮和消化腺SOD的产生,但由于近江牡蛎(C.rivularis)腮和消化腺的结构和功能的不同,在重金属的诱导下,消化腺内的SOD活性要比腮的大;Pb2 和Zn2 诱导近江牡蛎(C.rivularis)鳃和消化腺组织SOD活性变化的剂量-效应均为抛物线型;Cu2 对近江牡蛎(C.rivularis)鳃组织SOD活性诱导曲线不呈抛物线型,而对消化腺组织SOD活性诱导的剂量-效应呈抛物线型;根据对SOD活性影响的强弱,三种重金属对近江牡蛎(C.rivularis)的毒性强弱顺序为Cu2 >Pb2 >Zn2 。在实验室条件下,近江牡蛎(C.rivularis)消化腺组织中的SOD活性可作为养殖水体重金属污染程度监测指标,但应用到实际养殖水体尚须进一步研究。     

氧化型染发剂对沙蚕的毒性效应及对部分酶活性的影响

在实验室模拟条件下,研究了氧化型染发剂对双齿围沙蚕(Perinereis aibuhiteusis Grube)的急性毒性效应及不同暴露浓度(0、40、80、160、320mg·L-1)和暴露时间(0、4、6、8、10d)下对其体内乙酰胆碱酯酶(AChE)和超氧化物歧化酶(SOD)活性的影响.结果表明,1)暴露3d后氧化型染发剂对沙蚕的半数致死浓度(LC50)为1849.6mg·L-1;2)沙蚕体内AChE和SOD活性受到氧化型染发剂暴露浓度的显著影响:暴露3d后,随暴露浓度的升高(0～320mg·L-1),AChE和SOD活性均呈先被诱导后逐渐下降的变化趋势;3)沙蚕体内AChE和SOD活性也受到暴露时间的显著影响:40mg·L-1浓度下,随暴露时间的延长(0～10d),SOD活性呈先下降又缓慢上升的趋势,而AChE活性变化没有显著规律;4)通过比较发现,相对于AChE,SOD的活性变化更能反映氧化型染发剂对沙蚕的毒性作用.
