基于Gene Ontology的表达谱与基因功能相似性的相关性研究

聚类是芯片数据分析中被广泛使用的方法。未知基因的功能通常通过其与已知基因在不同生物状态下具有表达相似性来进行预测。然而，还未有人就这种通过表达相似性来进行功能注释的方法的可靠性进行评估。本文利用Gene Ontology对表达相似性和基因功能相似性的相关关系进行了全面的研究。研究表明，尽管表达谱的相似性和基因功能相似性之间有一定的依赖关系，但相关性较弱。在Gene Ontology的三大类中，相对生物过程和分子功能，基因表达谱的相似性更有助于细胞组分的注释。本文的研究结果对于基因功能的预测有一定的指导意义。

IONIC CONDUCTIVITY OF METHYLSILOXANE TERMINATED POLYETHYLENE OXIDE WITH LITHIUM PERCHLORATE NETWORK FILMS

Complex films of crosslinked poly(methylsiloxane-co-ethylene oxide) and lithium perchlorate were prepared. These solid state polymeric electrolytes show a markedly higher ionic conductivity, and excellent flexibility. The ionic conductivity of the network films closed to 10~(-5) Scm~(-1) at room temperature. The effects of Li~+ content, species and contents of crosslinking agents, molecular weight of poly(ethylene oxide) and temperature on the ionic conductivity of the network films were also investigated.

Heat shock protein 27 interacts with vimentin and prevents insolubilization of vimentin subunits induced by cadmium

Vimentin is an intermediate filament that regulates cell attachment and subcellular organization. In this study, vimentin filaments were morphologically altered, and its soluble subunits were rapidly reduced via cadmium chloride treatment. Cadmium chloride stimulated three major mitogen-activated protein kinases (MAPKs): extracellular signal-regulated kinase (ERK), c-Jun N-terminal kinase (JNK), and p38, and led apoptotic pathway via caspase-9 and caspase-3 activations. In order to determine whether MAPKs were involved in this cadmium-induced soluble vimentin disappearance, we applied MAPK-specific inhibitors (PD98059, SP600125, SB203580). These inhibitors did not abolish the cadmium-induced soluble vimentin disappearance. Caspase and proteosome degradation pathway were also not involved in soluble vimentin disappearance. When we observed vimentin levels in soluble and insoluble fractions, soluble vimentin subunits shifted to an insoluble fraction. As we discovered that heat-shock protein 27 (HSP27) was colocalized and physically associated with vimentin in unstressed cells, the roles of HSP27 with regard to vimentin were assessed. HSP27-overexpressing cells prevented morphological alterations of the vimentin filaments, as well as reductions of soluble vimentin, in the cadmium-treated cells. Moreover, HSP27 antisense oligonucleotide augmented these cadmium-induced changes in vimentin. These findings indicate that HSP27 prevents disruption of the vimentin intermediate filament networks and soluble vimentin disappearance, by virtue of its physical interaction with vimentin in cadmium-treated SK-N-SH cells.
