端粒、端粒酶及靶向抗衰老研究

端粒是细胞染色体末端一段高度保守的重复核苷酸序列,在基因结构的完整性及染色体稳定性方面起重要作用。端粒酶是具有逆转录酶活性的核糖核蛋白复合体,它合成端粒重复序列添至染色体末端,维持端粒长度。端粒长度与细胞衰老密切相关,是分子老化的标志物,基于端粒酶延长端粒长度是近年来抗衰老的研究热点。因此,本文查阅近几年来有关端粒与衰老研究相关文献,对端粒及端粒酶生物学功能和影响因素及与衰老关联作一归纳总结,并探讨以端粒酶为靶点的抗衰老治疗的最新进展,对今后抗衰老研究作出展望。厦门市科技计划项目(3502Z20144058)

Genetic diversity of two wild populations of Penaeus semisulcatus revealed by RAPD technique

【中文摘要】 利用RAPD标记技术检测了厦门和汕头沿海2个短沟对虾群体基因组DNA的多态性,并对其遗传多样性进行了分析。从40条随机引物中筛选出13个10bp引物,共扩增出65条清晰可重复的DNA片段,片断长度为100~2200 bp,在2个群体间没有检测到特异的片段。厦门和汕头群体的多态片段比例分别为87.69%和89.23%,杂合度分别为0.212和0.218,遗传多样性指数分别为0.2847和0.2913,两群体间的遗传距离为0.018,FST值为0.004。可见两野生群体种质资源仍然维持在良好水平,遗传分化程度很低,可能是同一种群,具有进一步开发的潜力。 【英文摘要】 The green tiger prawn,Penaeus semisulcatus is one of the biggest penaeid prawns and widely distributed in tropical and subtropical regions of the Indian Ocean and the West Pacific Ocean.The important economic shrimp species in the north of the South China Sea are Penaeus semisulcatus,Penaeus monodon,Marsupenaeus japonicus and Fenneropenaeus penicillatus.Although the disease-resistance of Penaeus semisulcatus is more effective than that of Penaeus monodon,Litopenaeus vannamei and Fenneropenaeus chinensis,the...国家自然科学基金资助项目(30471322

Seedling emergence and dispersal pattern of the introduced Sonneratia caseolaris in Shenzhen Bay, China

海桑(Sonneratia caseolaris)是我国华南沿海主要红树林造林树种,在深圳湾引种造林15年后,在天然红树林和光滩中出现了大面积的扩散。为了研究深圳湾红树植物海桑的幼苗扩散及其与生态因子的关系,作者采用样线和样方调查法于2006年9月至2007年9月对深圳福田红树林内天然扩散的海桑幼苗的密度、高度和盖度及其相关生态因子(包括种间竞争、群落类型、光照、扩散距离与滩面高程)进行了6次调查。天然红树林和人工海桑林林下海桑幼苗密度在调查初期分别为24.7棵/m2和19.7棵/m2,到2007年9月林下的一年生海桑幼苗全部死亡,说明林下的弱光生境显著抑制了海桑幼苗的早期生长和自然更新。不同林型下(包括天然白骨壤林和秋茄林、人工海桑林)的海桑幼苗的密度、高度、盖度差异不显著(P>0.05);而林中空地各指标显著高于林下(P0.05),而人工海桑林林下的海桑幼苗密度与光照强度呈显著正相关,且相关系数逐次增大,说明海桑幼苗的早期生长受到光照强度的影响极为显著。因此,深圳湾引种海桑的繁殖体在天然白骨壤林和秋茄林下的扩散主要受与母树距离的影响,但在海桑人工林下光照强度是影响幼苗分布的最重要生态因子。Due to its rapid growth, Sonneratia caseolaris, a mangrove species indigenous to Hainan, was introduced to Shenzhen Bay, Guangdong for afforestation purpose during the early 1990s. The seedling emergence, early growth and dispersal pattern of S. caseolaris and their responses to environmental factors have not been well studied in the new habitat. In this study, we evaluated the density, height and coverage of S. caseolaris seedlings underneath the canopies of various mangrove forests (including both natural Kandelia candel and Avicennia marina communities and introduced S. caseolaris communities) and on the mudflats without canopy, in Futian Mangroves Natural Reserve of Shenzhen Bay from September 2006 to September 2007. Line intercept and square intercept methods were used in the survey. Tidal elevation, light intensity, community types and the distance between the sample squares and the nearest adult S. caseolaris were also recorded. The mean densities of S. caseolaris seedlings under the canopies of both the introduced and natural mangrove forests decreased from September 2006 (24.7 seedlings per m2 and 19.7 seedlings per m2 , respectively) to September 2007 (no seedlings survived). No significant differences were found in the seedling density, height or coverage of S. caseolaris among different mangrove communities. However, the density, height and coverage of S. caseolaris seedlings were significantly higher on the mudflats without canopy than under the mangrove canopies, indicating that higher light intensity in on the mudflats without canopy promoted the dispersal and vertical growth of S. caseolaris seedlings. Although the optimal tidal elevation for S. caseolaris seedlings in Shenzhen Bay was between 1.40 m and 1.60 m, an area that falls within the mid-to-high intertidal zones, seedling density and tidal elevation were weakly correlated. The seedling density under the native mangrove canopies was negatively related to dispersal distance. However seedling density were positively correlated with light intensity(P<0.05), and the correlation coefficients for the introduced S. caseolaris forest increased through time with successive surveys. In contrast, there was no significant correlation founded between seedling density and light intensity under native mangrove canopies. We concluded that distance to mother tree was the most important factor determining S. caseolaris seedling density under native mangrove canopies, whereas the light intensity was the most important environmental factor for controlling seedling dispersal pattern under the canopy of the introduced S. caseolaris forest.中国科学院“百人计划”资助项目;; 国家自然科学基金(30700092);; 中国博士后科学基金(20060400529

Seasonal and spatial variation of phytoplankton and relationship with water-quality factors in Futian Mangroves of Shenzhen

在探讨深圳福田红树林区浮游植物群落结构及种群数量变化规律的基础上,对红树林区不同水质环境中浮游植物时空变化进行了研究,初步分析主要水质因子与浮游植物密度时空变化的相关关系。分析表明,福田红树林区浮游植物有5门28属51种(含未知9种),以硅藻门种类为主,优势种为微小小环藻(Cyclotella caspia)和诺氏海链藻(Thalassiosira nordenskildi)等,蓝藻、绿藻能发展成为优势类群,优势种为小颤藻(Oscillatoria minima)和小球藻(Chlorella vulgaris)等。浮游植物种类组成季节变化明显,空间变化显著。浮游植物密度空间变化明显,季节差异不大。各季度的浮游植物密度较高,达到106cells·L-1的级别。由于接纳生活污水、工业废水、养殖废水等陆源污水,5个站位的主要水质因子受污水排放影响明显,站位受陆源污水影响的顺序依次为:Ⅳ>Ⅱ>Ⅴ>Ⅰ>Ⅲ,污水排放进入红树林区的水域水质显著区别于完全海水水域。陆源污水输入对浮游植物密度时空变化造成显著影响,浮游植物密度与总氮浓度、盐度相关性较好,与总氮成显著负相关,与盐度成显著正相关。Phytoplankton community were studied at 5 sites in Futian Mangrove Reserves of Shenzhen from Oct. 2005 to Sep. 2006. The species composition, densities and distribution of phytoplankton, in seasonal and spatial scale, were studied. Main water-quality factors were preliminary examined for their relations to phytoplankton densities. As result a total of 51 taxa (including 1 variety and 9 unidentified taxa) belonging to 28 genera in 5 phyta were identified. It showed that diatoms, such as Cyclotella caspia and Thalassiosira nordenski?ldi dominated in 4 seasons in most sites. Among the others, species of Cyanobacteria and Chlorophyta, such as Oscillatoria minima and Chlorella vulgaris, only dominated at a few sites. In contrast to a remarkable seasonal and spatial variation of species compositions, the phytoplankton densities changes little in season though they alternated with sites in spatial. Phytoplankton density was high reaching 106 cells?L-1 in 4 seasons. Water qualities changed with seasons in 5 sites due to the influence of domestic and industrial wastewater. The sites contaminated by the sewage are in sequence of Ⅳ >Ⅱ >Ⅴ >Ⅰ >Ⅲ, the pollution made water quality quite different with that of seawater in the open sea. Correlations of phytoplankton density with total nitrogen and salinity were found. It showed that the phytoplankton density changed positively with salinity but negatively with the total nitrogen.中国近海海洋综合调查与评价项目908-01-ST06和908-02-03-0

Methods Human luminal B breast cancer cells BT474 were infected with GFP and luciferase co-expressing lentiviruses and then subjected for selection with Puromycin for 2 weeks. The expression of GFP and luciferase was detected by fluorescent microscopy and IVIS Kinetic image system, respectively. The effect of coculture or treatment with conditioned medium of hUCMSCs on proliferation of BT474 was analyzed with MTS assay. Western blot was carried out to detect the effect of treatment with conditioned medium of hUC-MSCs on the activation of both Akt and MAPK signalings in BT474, as well as the expression of downstream cell cycle regulator Cyclin D1. Regular RT-PCR was applied to analyze the mRNAs expression of ligands such as NRG-1, NRG-2, IGF-Ⅰ, IGF-Ⅱ, and EGF in hUC-MSCs. The correlation between relative luciferase activity and cell number was analyzed with Excel software, while MTS assay data was statistically analyzed with SPSS 13.0 software. Results The co-expression of GFP and luciferase in BT474 via lentiviral expression system was visualized by fluorescent microscopy and IVIS Kinetic image system. The linear correlation between relative luciferase activity and cell number was determined by curve fitting analysis. Coculture or treatment with conditioned medium of hUC-MSC significantly promoted the proliferation of BT474, with survival rates being 148.06 %(P < 0.005)and 147.99 %(P < 0.001)of control, respectively. In addition, treatment with conditioned medium of hUC-MSC was shown to induce activation of both Akt and MAPK signalings, which further upregulated the expression of Cyclin D1. Moreover, high mRNAs expression levels of both NRG-1 and EGF, as well as moderate mRNAs expression levels NRG-2, IGF-Ⅰ, and IGF-Ⅱ were showed by RT-PCR. Conclusion Our results here demonstrated that MSCs may promote the proliferation of luminal B breast cancer cells through paracrine of ligands such as NRG-1, which in turn results in the activation of both Akt and MAPK signalings and upregulation of the expression of Cyclin D1.国家自然科学基金面上项目(81272922);; 福建省自然科学基金面上项目(2016J01577);; 福州总医院院内课题国际合作研究专项(2015G01
