乙酸铅对PC12细胞形态的影响

为了从形态学角度研究铅诱导细胞凋亡的机制,用100 μmol·L-1乙酸铅对PC12细胞进行染毒24 h,检测细胞整体形态、细胞骨架和细胞超微结构的改变.实验结果显示:乙酸铅染毒24 h后.细胞整体形态和细胞骨架无明显改变.但电子显微镜下已出现细胞核固缩;线粒体肿胀、正常结构消失并伴有空泡化;胞内出现鼓泡等现象.结合前期研究结果,推测线粒体在铅诱导细胞凋亡中起了重要作用.而细胞骨架不参与此过程.     

杀虫单对不同倍性泥鳅鳍细胞系的毒性作用

以泥鳅鳍二倍体(DIMF)和三倍体(TRMF)细胞系为受试细胞,研究杀虫单对2种细胞系的毒性作用。采用噻唑蓝(MTT)法测得DIMF与TRMF 24 h半致死浓度分别为119.73 mg·L-1、146.26 mg·L~(-1)。DIMF的敏感性明显高于TRMF。经杀虫单处理的活体细胞表现为细胞伸长,空泡化和脱落并游离于培养基表面的现象。2种细胞系酶活力测定的结果显示:杀虫单浓度为0~100 mg·L~(-1)时,SOD和GST活力随着浓度的增加而增加,100~200 mg·L~(-1)浓度组酶活力逐渐降低;0~200 mg·L~(-1)时,ACh E活力与杀虫单浓度呈负相关,并且三倍体3种酶活力均高于二倍体。微核试验结果显示:50 mg·L~(-1)杀虫单就能对细胞核造成损伤并形成微核,微核率随杀虫单浓度增加而增加。当杀虫单浓度达到200 mg·L-1时,微核率出现最大值,DIMF和TRMF分别为3.3‰和3.7‰,2种细胞的测试结果无显著性差异(P0.05)。电镜观察结果显示:对照组DIMF和TRMF超微结构无明显差异;DIMF和TRMF病理变化情况相似:染色质凝集趋边,细胞核分解成多个,细胞内出现空泡和凋亡小体,表现出凋亡的特征。研究表明杀虫单的细胞毒性机制是通过改变细胞内酶活性从而诱导凋亡,不同倍性细胞系之间的差异主要与多倍体细胞体积大,胞内物质多,分裂快,生长旺盛等有关。     

Effects of chitosan on growth of an aquatic plant (Hydrilla verticillata) in polluted waters with different chemical oxygen demands

Effects of chitosan on a submersed plant, Hydrilla verticillata, were investigated. Results indicated that H. venicillata could prevent ultrastructure phytotoxicities and oxidativereaction from polluted water with high chemical oxygen demand (COD). Superoxide dismutase (SOD) activity and malondialdehyde (MDA) contents in H. verticillata treated with 0.1% chitosan in wastewater increased with high COD (980 mg/L) and decreased with low COD (63 mg/L), respectively. Ultrastructural analysis showed that the stroma and grana of chloroplast basically remained normal. However, plant cells from the control experiment (untreated with chitosan) were vacuolated and the cell interval increased. The relict of protoplast moved to the center, with cells tending to disjoint. Our findings indicate that wastewater with high COD concentration can cause a substantial damage to submersed plant, nevertheless, chitosan probably could alleviate the membrane lipid peroxidization and ultrastructure phytotoxicities, and protect plant cells from stress of high COD concentration polluted water.     

皱纹盘鲍"足萎缩症"幼鲍超微结构研究

利用超薄切片电镜技术对2005年春季大连养殖场患"足萎缩症"皱纹盘鲍(Haliotis discus hanni)幼鲍足、吻、外套膜、肝胰腺超微结构进行了研究,结果表明:足肌肉组织、吻组织、外套膜组织细胞内出现典型的病理变化.肠组织细胞内出现外膜包裹的聚集大量α糖原颗粒的包涵体.鳃组织细胞内线粒体形态异常,含有类晶格微丝结构,病变细胞间出现α糖原颗粒累积包涵体,说明病变细胞内出现严重的代谢障碍.肝胰腺组织损伤最为严重,超微结构显示为大量空泡结构和淀粉样物质,已无可识别的细胞结构.同时在足肌肉组织细胞间隙发现大量的直径为45～55 nm的病毒样颗粒,在吻细胞肿胀的内质网中发现80～110 nm的病毒样颗粒,具有囊膜,囊膜厚度约为2 nm.     

表面活性剂与Pb、Zn协同作用对蚕豆叶细胞的损伤

采用透射电子显微镜及能量发散X-射线微量分析技术,研究了非离子型表面活性剂烷基酚聚氧乙烯醚(AE)与矿山尾砂中高浓度Pb、Zn协同作用对蚕豆叶细胞的损伤.结果表明,高浓度Pb、Zn使蚕豆叶绿体中类囊体解体,嗜锇颗粒的数量和体积显著增加.细胞外间隙和液泡中出现大量的不溶性毛发状晶体.AE与Pb、Zn复合污染时,细胞内膜结构的透性增加,细胞内毛发状晶体扩散到叶绿体、细胞核中.因此,AE可加重Pb、Zn对蚕豆叶细胞的损伤作用,毛发状晶体的形成可能与细胞脱毒有关.     

重金属对蚯蚓的毒性毒理研究

通过室内模拟实验以及对株洲市重金属污染区农田土壤中采样，进行了重金属对蚯蚓的毒性毒理研究．毒性实验表明，各重金属元素４８ｈ的ＬＤ５０分别为：Ｃｄ１０００ｍｇ／ｋｇ，Ｐｂ８１２ｍｇ／ｋｇ，Ｃｕ６３３ｍｇ／ｋｇ，Ｈｇ３０４ｍｇ／ｋｇ，Ｚｎ５２８ｍｇ／ｋｇ，Ｃｒ４２８ｍｇ／ｋｇ．对蚯蚓毒理研究证明，重金属对蚯蚓酯酶同工酶有抑活作用，而重金属对蚯蚓过氧化物酶同工酶有激活作用．在光镜下观察，可见重金属污染可引起蚯蚓的体表溃疡及产生肿瘤，可使胃肠道粘膜层出血、背血管肿胀，同时可引起胃肠道粘膜上皮细胞产生萎缩或溃疡灶．蚯蚓特有的黄色细胞团污染程度不同而显示出消长规律．在电镜下可见到在重污染区的蚯蚓胃肠道粘膜上皮细胞中的ｒＥＲ肿胀、高尔基体膨大，线粒体嵴消失，甚至空泡化或解体．另可见细胞核膜间隙肿胀、断裂、核质外溢，胞质自溶．蚯蚓以上病变的大小是随土壤重金属污染区的污染级别而定；各病理变化指标均能定性地反映土壤重金属污染状况．     

Iron (Fe2+)-induced toxicity produces morphological and physiological changes in roots in Panax ginseng grown in hydroponics

ABSTRACT

Rusty roots markedly influence on ginseng cultivation, and this phenomenon often attributed to iron (Fe) induced toxicity. To examine the physiological mechanisms underlying Fe-initiated toxicity as evidenced by rusty roots in Panax ginseng, morphological and physiological changes in roots were investigated in hydroponics using Fe²⁺ concentrations of 50 (control), 100, 200, 400 or 600 µM. Compared with control, reddish-brown deposition at the root surface increasingly appeared as Fe²⁺ concentration increased (≥200 µM). The pH also rose as Fe levels were elevated. Higher external Fe²⁺ concentrations produced changes in root organelles and cell structures. Structural alterations in mitochondria due to excess Fe storage, protoplast shrinkage and cell vacuolation as well as formation of central vacuole with deposits in roots were observed. In addition, apparent cell wall thickening, cell wall folding and shrinkage, damage of cell membranes and a large amount of cell debris occurred at higher external Fe²⁺ concentrations (≥400 µM). The Fe²⁺ mediated damage resulting in morphological and physiological changes in ginseng roots was concentration and pH dependent.     

Ultrastructural changes in the rabbit liver induced by carbamate insecticide bendiocarb

Carbamates (CB) are used as insecticides and some of them have been registered as human drugs. The mechanism of CB poisoning involves reversible inhibition of acetylcholine esterase. In the present study, we investigated changes in liver ultrastructure in rabbits (Oryctolagus cuniculus) which were administered bendiocarb for 3, 10, 20, and 30 days. Rabbits in all experimental groups received capsules of bendiocarb (96% Bendiocarb, Bayer, Germany) per os daily at a dose of 5 mg/kg of body weight, and after day 11 received the same dose every 48 h. The observed changes were only moderate, focal, and the effect on the liver was not uniform. On the third day of the experiment, injured hepatocytes had dilated bile capillaries with reduced microvilli. There were no visible alterations in the intercellular contacts. Nuclei of these cells were irregular in shape. Many hepatocytes showed considerable increase in the number of peroxisomes. On day 10 of the experiment, the number of peroxisomes was reduced. Other changes, such as dilated rough endoplasmic reticulum and proliferation of smooth endoplasmic reticulum were observed on day 20. The number of lipid droplets in hepatocytes gradually increased. Usually they were present in low numbers, but on day 30 of the experiment their number increased significantly. They coalesced and formed a single lipid droplet which changed the shape of the nuclei. The results presented in this study indicate that both short and long-term administration of bendiocarb affects the liver ultrastructure. At the same time we also observed rapid onset of regeneration of the damaged tissue through activation of hepatocytes and oval cells.
