基于谷胱甘肽结合作用定量研究微囊藻毒素的解毒代谢机制

基于谷胱甘肽(GSH)解毒作用探讨了微囊藻毒素-RR(MCRR)在不同动物肝脏和肾脏合作下的代谢机制。通过人工合成MCRR的谷胱甘肽代谢物(MCRR-GSH),腹腔注射至鲫鱼和大鼠体内,利用液相色谱串联质谱技术(LC-MS/MS)定量检测MCRR-GSH及其下游半胱氨酸代谢物(MCRR-Cys)在组织内的代谢动力学变化。在72 h的暴露实验中,实验组鲫鱼和大鼠体内均定量检测到MCRR-GSH和MCRR-Cys。MCRR-GSH在肾脏中的浓度显著高于其他组织(P0.05),鲫鱼和大鼠体内累积浓度分别是(0.161±0.001)和(0.116±0.005)μg·g~(-1)DW。同样的,MCRR-Cys主要分布于鲫鱼和大鼠的肾脏组织。鲫鱼肾脏中MCRR-Cys的浓度出现明显的波动,而肝脏和胆汁内的MCRR-Cys浓度却呈现出上升的趋势;大鼠肾脏内MCRR-Cys的浓度呈缓慢下降的趋势,浓度范围为(8.899±0.817)μg·g~(-1)DW至(3.336±0.263)μg·g~(-1)DW。基于以上结果推测,微囊藻毒素在肝脏和肾脏合作下的解毒过程为:MC在肝脏内经GSH结合作用生成的代谢物MC-GSH随血液循环转运至肾脏,在肾脏内MCGSH快速地转化为下游代谢物MC-Cys以促进排泄。

Immobilization of aluminum with mucilage secreted by root cap and root border cells is related to aluminum resistance in Glycine max L

The root cap and root border cells (RBCs) of most plant species produced pectinaceous mucilage, which can bind metal cations. In order to evaluate the potential role of root mucilage on aluminum (Al) resistance, two soybean cultivars differing in Al resistance were aeroponic cultured, the effects of Al on root mucilage secretion, root growth, contents of mucilage-bound Al and root tip Al, and the capability of mucilage to bind Al were investigated. Increasing Al concentration and exposure time significantly enhanced mucilage excretion from both root caps and RBCs, decreased RBCs viability and relative root elongation except roots exposed to 400 μM Al for 48 h in Al-resistant cultivar. Removal of root mucilage from root tips resulted in a more severe inhibition of root elongation. Of the total Al accumulated in root, mucilage accounted 48–72 and 12–27 %, while root tip accounted 22–52 and 73–88 % in Al-resistant and Al-sensitive cultivars, respectively. A ²⁷Al nuclear magnetic resonance spectrum of the Al-adsorbed mucilage showed Al tightly bound to mucilage. Higher capacity to exclude Al in Al-resistant soybean cultivar is related to the immobilization and detoxification of Al by the mucilage secreted from root cap and RBCs.
