Effects of Roxadustat on Erythropoietin Production in the Rat Body

Anemia is a major complication of chronic renal failure. To treat this anemia, prolylhydroxylase domain enzyme (PHD) inhibitors as well as erythropoiesis-stimulating agents (ESAs) have been used. Although PHD inhibitors rapidly stimulate erythropoietin (Epo) production, the precise sites of Epo production following the administration of these drugs have not been identified. We developed a novel method for the detection of the Epo protein that employs deglycosylation-coupled Western blotting. With protein deglycosylation, tissue Epo contents can be quantified over an extremely wide range. Using this method, we examined the effects of the PHD inhibitor, Roxadustat (ROX), and severe hypoxia on Epo production in various tissues in rats. We observed that ROX increased Epo mRNA expression in both the kidneys and liver. However, Epo protein was detected in the kidneys but not in the liver. Epo protein was also detected in the salivary glands, spleen, epididymis and ovaries. However, both PHD inhibitors (ROX) and severe hypoxia increased the Epo protein abundance only in the kidneys. These data show that, while Epo is produced in many tissues, PHD inhibitors as well as severe hypoxia regulate Epo production only in the kidneys.     

攀登科学最高峰的第三世界科学家——1970年诺贝尔化学奖得主卢伊斯·弗德里科·莱洛伊尔

阿根廷生物化学家卢伊斯·弗德里科·莱洛伊尔因发现糖核苷酸及其在碳水化合物生物合成中的作用而获1970年诺贝尔化学奖。莱洛伊尔一生不仅致力于科学研究,还积极推动阿根廷的大学和医学教育,建立了致力于科学研究的坎波马尔基金会。本文回顾了莱洛伊尔的科研成果、相关研究背景以及他的科研历程,分析了他能够获得成功的因素;讨论了名师对科研人员学术指导的重要作用、及时调节研究过程中产生的各类情绪的积极意义以及敢于大胆跨界探索对科研人员的重要性。     

2020年诺贝尔化学奖的再思考——归属争议与原创表彰

2020年诺贝尔化学奖授予两位女性科学家——埃马纽埃尔.卡彭蒂耶和詹妮弗.杜德纳。回顾CRISPR-Cas9技术的发展史,她们完整地说明了该技术的原理、作用,并研发了CRISPR-Cas9基因编辑技术,符合诺贝尔奖奖励原创的要求,是争议最小的获奖者人选。专利和诺贝尔奖在维护发明者权益、促进科学的发展上都具有重要的作用,且不能仅以其中一项的结果判断另一项的归属,目前的归属差异不影响非商业应用的学术研究,并客观上推动了原创研究的产出。进一步思考原创的概念,明确基础科学的定位,加强对创新人才的鼓励和支持,注重诺贝尔奖颁奖历史的梳理,也是本次诺贝尔奖给予我们的启示。

Characteristics of high energy interactions I. High energy gamma-ray spectra near the top of the atmosphere

An emulsion chamber was used to study the characteristics of high energy nuclear interactions from the production spectra ofγ-rays. The emulsion chamber, which comprised of two parts, namely the detector and the graphite producer unit, was exposed to cosmic rays for about 7 hr at an atmospheric depth of 10 g cm⁻² at Hyderabad (geomagnetic latitude 7·6°N). 720 electromagnetic cascades due toγ-rays were recorded in the detector. These cascades were classified into three groups; (a)γ-rays from nuclear interactions in the detector (b)γ-rays from nuclear interactions in the producer unit and (c)γ-rays of atmospheric origin. The energies of the cascades were determined using photometric method. The spectra ofγ-rays from groups (a) and (c) were determined and compared with similar spectra obtained at greater atmospheric depths. The spectra were found to obey a power law. The spectrum ofγ-rays of atmospheric origin was found to steepen at high energies,E _r>2200 GeV.     

同位素示踪法的开创者——赫维西

19世纪末20世纪初是物理化学和生物化学发展的重要时期,同位素示踪法在一系列示踪剂实验方面取得了许多成就。瑞士籍匈牙利裔化学家乔治·德·赫维西(1885—1966)将示踪技术应用到生物学领域,他有关同位素示踪法的发明也使其获得了1943年诺贝尔化学奖。本文对赫维西生平及学术成长历程进行介绍,反映了赫维西的成长与欧洲当时的诸多科学家之间的学术往来是不可分割的。
