基于大脑不同区域的阿尔茨海默症基因表达数据分析

提出了采用Tukey双权函数作为FastICA(Fast Independent Component Analysis)方法的非线性函数,对阿尔茨海默症(Alzheimer’s disease, AD)多个脑区域基因表达数据进行显著基因提取,揭示其基因表达调控关系.针对传统聚类方法基于全局聚类且只能将某个基因聚类到某一类的缺陷,改进的FastICA方法能够对基因表达数据进行快速有效的双向聚类,能够满足同一个基因可能参与不同信号传导通路的生物特性.同时考虑到人脑中海马区、内嗅皮质区、颞中回及视觉皮层区均与学习与记忆功能密切相关,将算法对多个脑区域进行基因表达调控综合分析.结果表明,大量炎症反应是AD致病的重要因素之一.     

一种动态时间弯曲距离的时延调控基因相似度量聚类方法

针对传统的基于距离/相关系数的相似性度量方法无法有效度量基因间的时延表达特性,为了更加准确地刻画基因间的共调控关系,提出一种基于动态时间弯曲距离(DTW)的相似性度量方法,并结合可指定类数的仿射传播聚类算法进行聚类.将该算法用于人工合成数据和真实的酵母基因数据集,实验结果表明,相对于其它经典聚类算法,本文所提算法能得到更好的聚类结果.

牡蛎低分子活性肽BPO-L对人肺腺癌A549细胞周期和相关癌基因、抑癌基因表达的调控作用

采用酸抽提、凝胶柱层析等方法,从僧帽牡蛎体内分离提取到牡蛎低分子活性多肽组分BPO-L,以HMBA处理组为平行对照,流式细胞仪检测细胞周期变化及以免疫细胞化学方法检测相关癌基因、抑癌基因表达变化.研究BPO-L对人肺腺癌A549细胞分化的生物学效应,探索其对肺癌细胞的作用机理.实验结果显示,BPO-L能有效抑制A549细胞增殖活动,促使细胞阻滞于G0/G1期.在此过程中,A549细胞c-myc,MTp53等癌基因蛋白表达减弱,p21WAF1/CIP1和Rb等抑癌基因蛋白表达活性的增强.本研究证实BPO-L对肺癌细胞具有显著的诱导分化作用.其诱导癌细胞分化机理与其调节和干预c-myc、MTp53等癌基因与p21WAF1/CIP1和Rb等抑癌基因的表达有关.

Efficient transformation and expression of gfp gene in the edible mushroom Pleurotus nebrodensis

An efficient transformation method mediated by PEG-protoplasts was developed for the newly commercial edible mushroom Pleurotus nebrodensis. Two plasmids were used to co-transform protoplasts of P. nebrodensis. One plasmid is pAN7-1 containing a positive selectable marker gene hph conferring hygromycin B resistance. Another plasmid is pBlue-GFP containing a reporter gene gfp conferring green fluorescent protein. PCR and Southern blot analysis showed that hph gene or/and gfp gene were integrated into the genome of P. nebrodensis transformants. The transformation efficiency of the positive selectable marker gene hph was 3 transformants per microgram of plasmid pAN7-1 DNA, which was about 30 times higher than that previously reported in thoroughly studied Pleurotus species such as Pleurotus ostreatus. The transformation efficiency of the reporter gene gfp was 9 transformants per microgram of plasmid pBlu-GFP DNA. The co-transformation efficiency was 23.68%. This is the first report that a ＂reporter＂ gene, green fluorescent protein gene can be successfully stably exoressed in this Pleurotus species.     

PAMD对缺血性脑损伤Bcl-2和Bax基因表达的作用

探讨蝙蝠葛酚性碱预处理对脑缺血后大脑皮质神经元Bcl-2和Bax基因表达的影响．采用Zea Longa等介绍的线栓阻塞大脑中动脉方法制备大鼠脑缺血模型,并用受试药物术前连续预处理模型大鼠7d．采用逆转录-聚合酶链反应（RT—PCR）方法测定假手术组、模型组和蝙蝠葛酚性碱高、中、低剂量、尼莫地平、银杏叶片预处理组大鼠缺血后24h大脑皮质中Bcl-2和Bax的mRNA表达变化．行大脑中动脉闭塞后24h大鼠大脑皮质神经元Bcl-2和Bax的mRNA均被诱导表达,Bcl-2 mRNA表达量下降;而Bax mRNA表达量升高．蝙蝠葛酚性碱预处理7d后,缺血后24h大鼠大脑皮质神经元Bcl-2 mRNA表达水平较模型组明显上调,而Bax mRNA表达于缺血后24h明显下调．蝙蝠葛酚性碱能有效调控缺血脑损伤后大脑皮质神经元Bcl-2和Bax的基因表达水平,从而在缺血性脑损伤中起到神经保护作用．

AcMNPV p95基因一段339 bp序列在病毒复制中的作用

杆状病毒苜蓿银纹夜蛾核型多角体病毒(AcMNPV)的p95基因编码的P95蛋白是病毒核衣壳的组成部分,也是虫体经口感染相关因子PIF(Per os Infectivity Factor)复合体的组成部分.前期研究表明,完整的P95蛋白对病毒的复制是非必需的,其中一段450bp的序列可以部分弥补p95基因的作用.本研究将p95基因一段339bp的片段(Core339,AcMNPV基因组位置:69 576~69 914bp)以正反两个方向分别插入到p95基因敲除的AcMNPV基因组中多角体位点的polyA之后,构建了两株重组病毒vP95K/EGFP/339+和vP95K/EGFP/339-.该两株病毒能在Sf9细胞中正常复制,复制水平与p95基因正常的AcEGFP相当,但复制速度较慢.重组病毒感染细胞的Western blot分析未检测到P95蛋白的表达.这一结果表明P95蛋白的缺失对病毒在细胞中的复制没有显著影响,但核心片段Core339对于病毒复制具有关键作用.     

Generation of transgenic cucumbers with expression of a ten-tandem repeat long-acting GLP-1 analogue and their biological function on diabetic rats

Glucagon-like peptide-1 （GLP-1） is a 30-amino acid peptide hormone, which has the regulatory function of stimulating the secretion of insulin to balance blood glucose levels. In this study, marker-free expression vector pX6 with a fusion gene of ten tandem repeated GLP-1 analog （[Ser8, Gln26 and Asp34]-GLP-1） genes was constructed and transformed into cucumbers by Agrobacterium tumefaciens-mediated transformation method. Four transgenic lines were obtained by PCR and Southern blotting analysis and two transgenic lines successfully expressed the fusion protein （named GLP-T）, which was revealed by Western blotting analysis. The biological activity test results showed that the serum glucose level of diabetic rats was significantly decreased after oral administration of the fusion protein GLP-T extracted from the transgenic cucumber fruitage. These results suggest that this may provide a brand-new strategy to prevent and cure the diabetes with no pain.
