酸铝胁迫下常绿杨根冠超微结构变化

中国的亚热带地区气候温暖湿润、雨量充沛,是中国速生丰产林基地,森林土壤多呈偏酸性和酸性,为富铝化酸性土壤,容易造成植物铝毒害。A-61/186（Populus×enramericana cv.）是澳大利亚 L．D．Pryor 博士选育的半常绿杨树无性系（semi-evergreen poplar clone）,母本为美国南方种的落叶型美洲黑杨（Populus deltoids Marsh）,父本为原产智利的常绿品种欧洲杨智利变种（Populus nigra cv.Chile）,是中国林科院郑世锴研究员于1987年从巴基斯坦引入中国的3个常绿杨品系之一,适合热带亚热带种植。以常绿杨A-61/186（Populus×euramericana cv.）根冠细胞为材料,采用水培酸铝胁迫实验,在胁迫30 d、60 d和90 d时在透射电子显微镜下进行根冠细胞超微结构的观察及拍片,研究在酸铝胁迫下浓度和作用时间对其超微结构的影响,探究铝毒条件下杨树根冠细胞的超微结构变化,并为根冠细胞铝毒亚显微水平评价提供资料。结果表明,随着铝浓度的升高,根冠细胞壁溶解断裂;细胞基质由凝胶态向分散碎块转变;淀粉粒数量有减少的趋向,淀粉质体数量有增加的趋向,而淀粉粒堆重心偏向由明显到不明显的趋向。随着铝作用时间的延长,根冠细胞在60 d浓度0.370 mmol·L^-1淀粉粒急剧减少;在90 d浓度0.666 mmol·L^-1淀粉粒质体急剧减少;淀粉粒堆或淀粉质体堆无重心偏向。

Acrylamide and its metabolite glycidamide can affect antioxidant defenses and steroidogenesis in Leydig and Sertoli cells

Acrylamide, which is commonly used in various industries, may also form in food products cooked in high temperatures. Glycidamide, the ultimate genotoxic metabolite of acrylamide, is generated within cells through CYP4502E1-mediated epoxidation. Recent studies have shown that acrylamide and/or glycidamide may cause infertility by disrupting spermatogenesis, decreasing germ cell production and sperm fertilization ability due to their toxic effects on the male reproductive system. This study aimed to determine some direct effects of acrylamide and glycidamide on antioxidant defenses and on steroidogenic enzymes of Leydig and Sertoli cells. For this purpose, mouse Leydig and Sertoli cells were exposed to acrylamide (0.01 or 1?mmol/L) or to glycidamide (0.001 or 0.5?mmol/L) for 24?h. Following the exposure, antioxidant enzyme activities (catalase, superoxide dismutase, glutathione peroxidase and γ-glutamyl transpeptidase), cellular antioxidant levels (glutathione) and steroidogenic enzyme activities (3β-hydroxysteroid dehydrogenase and 17β-hydroxysteroid dehydrogenase) were calculated. It was shown that acrylamide and glycidamide may cause inhibition of antioxidant and steroidogenic enzymes in Leydig and Sertoli cells. In conclusion, acrylamide and glycidamide may alter testicular function, thereby disrupting male reproduction.     

氨氮、硝酸盐氮和亚硝酸盐氮在PVA凝胶膜中的扩散性能

用冷冻-解冻法制备PVA凝胶膜,测定了氨氮、硝酸盐氮和亚硝酸盐氮在PVA凝胶膜中的扩散系数,考察了成膜条件和细胞密度对扩散系数的影响.结果表明,扩散系数随冷冻-解冻次数、PVA溶液的浓度及细胞密度的增大而减小. 氨氮、硝酸盐氮和亚硝酸盐氮在15% PVA的空白膜中的扩散系数分别为0.69×10^-9 m²/s, 0.52×10^-9m²/s和0.56×10^-9 m²/s; 在细胞浓度为60g/L的PVA膜中的扩散系数分别为0.55×10^-9 m²/s, 0.46×10^-9 m²/s和0.45×10^-9 m²/s.     

PCB118对GT1-7细胞GnRH分泌及Kisspeptin/GPR54信号通路蛋白表达的影响

为研究多氯联苯118(polychlorinated biphenyl 118,PCB118)对GT1-7细胞的毒性作用,探讨其对促性腺激素释放激素(gonadotropin-releasing hormone,GnRH)分泌的影响及相关机制,在PCB118作用GT1-7细胞后,分析了细胞存活率、GnRH分泌水平以及Kisspeptin/GPR54信号通路中关键蛋白的表达水平。结果表明,PCB118(0.05～50 000 nmol·L-1)分别作用GT1-7细胞6、12、24和48 h后,细胞存活率随PCB118浓度的增加和作用时间的延长而显著降低。但只有在高浓度(50 000nmol·L-1)条件下,PCB118才能显著促进GT1-7细胞释放乳酸脱氢酶(lactate dehydrogenase,LDH)。PCB118作用GT1-7细胞6 h后,5、500和50 000 nmol·L-1组能显著抑制GnRH的分泌,并降低Kisspeptin/GPR54信号通路中GnRH、G蛋白偶联受体54(G-protein-coupled receptor 54,GPR54)、磷脂酶C(phospholipase C,PLC)和蛋白激酶C(protein kinase C,PKC)等关键蛋白的表达水平;作用24 h,500和50 000 nmol·L-1PCB118能显著抑制GnRH的分泌,并降低GnRH、GPR54、PLC和PKC等关键蛋白的表达水平。研究表明:PCB118对GT1-7细胞具有细胞增殖毒性作用,呈现一定的剂量和时间效应; PCB118能在一定程度上抑制GT1-7细胞GnRH的合成与分泌,并下调Kisspeptin/GPR54信号通路中GnRH、GPR54、PLC和PKC等关键蛋白的表达水平,推测Kisspeptin/GPR54信号通路可能参与介导了PCB118对GT1-7细胞GnRH分泌的抑制作用。     

Amniotic fluid macrophages from normal and malformed fetuses

Amniotic fluid cells from normal and abnormal fetuses (neural tube defects and abdominal wall lesions) were examined uncultured and after short-term culture for macrophages. Morphology, adherence, phagocytosis, presence of Fc receptors and non-specific esterase were studied. The existence of macrophages in normal and abnormal fluids was confirmed, although the percentage and the absolute numbers varied greatly from specimen to specimen. The most marked increases in total macrophages were in cases of anencephaly. The significance of these macrophages and their value in prenatal diagnosis are discussed.
