简介：非受体酪氨酸激酶c-Abl广泛表达于人和哺乳动物等的细胞中并受到严格调控，通过蛋白之间相互作用、与DNA相互作用及其酪氨酸激酶活性在一系列的重要生命活动中发挥调节作用。在应激损伤反应如DNA损伤反应中．c-Abl的Ser^465被ATM和DNA-PK磷酸化而激活，通过与Rad51、p53和p73等分子的相互作用参与DNA重组修复、细胞周期和细胞凋亡等的调控，不同信号途径之间的平衡决定细胞的生存和死亡。

简介：通过对20世纪80年代以来具有代表性的华北夏谷区审(鉴)定的20个主栽谷子品种进行SSR标记多态性分析,研究了华北地区育成谷子品种的遗传多样性。49对引物在20个谷子品种中扩增出具有多态性的条带,共检测出142个等位变异,平均每个位点检测出的等位变异数为2.96个。标记位点多态性信息含量(PIC)变幅为0.0904~0.6896,平均为0.4168。20份材料间的遗传距离变幅为0.0173~0.9000,聚类分析将其分成3个类群,其中谷丰1号自成一类,表明谷丰1号的遗传距离较其他品种大。不同年代谷子品种间遗传距离分析结果显示,各年代品种之间的平均遗传距离由大到小依次是1980s>1990s>2000s>2010s,表明随着年代的递进育成品种的遗传差异减小,亲缘关系增近。

简介：C／EBPs增强子结合蛋白是核转录因子，其作用范围广泛，既参与正常的生理代谢过程，又与多种疾病的发生和发展相关，其作用方式多样，对转录有正、负调控作用。C／EBPβ是其第二位成员主要通过对靶细胞基因转录的调节，参与细胞的增殖与分化、肿瘤的发生与凋亡等重要生命活动；其功能受到蛋白酶降解、磷酸化、蛋白质相互作用等多种途径的调控。本文就C／EBPs的调控机理及其与肿瘤的关系综述如下。

简介：目的探索BALB/c和C57BL/6两个品系在有关实验中的不同作用。方法选取了结合随机测序与生物信息学分析设计合成的神经系统表达的一些基因的反义核酸(antisense)中的2个，用Hamilton微量注射器将其分别定量注射到BALB/c和C57BL/6小鼠的侧脑室，并分别设注射生理盐水和随机序列核酸(Scramble)的对照组。每一反义核酸实验组和对照组各注射10只小鼠，之后观察实验组与对照组在不同行为学实验中的差异。小鼠的行为学检测模型为：考察日常代谢能力的摄食量，考察Locomotionactivity(移动)的旷场行为，考察疼痛阈值的甩尾试验和考察记忆能力的步下法实验。结果注射No.1基因的反义核酸后，两品系的实验组均在测试记忆力的步下法(Step-downTest)试验中表现出记忆力减弱，且与对照组差异明显，说明No.1基因的功能确与记忆相关。注射No.2基因的反义核酸后，在测试移动能力的旷场行为(OpenFieldBehavior)试验中，BALB/c实验组跨格、直立行为均比对照组明显减少，说明受此反义核酸影响显著，而C57BL/6实验组则与对照组无大的差异。此外，在生理盐水对照组和随机序列核酸对照组的实验中以及其他行为学模型的实验中，两品系也存在着一定的差异。结论用遗传背景不同的多品系进行相关实验，可进一步建立新基因功能初筛中有显著结果的基因的复筛平台；同时，实验结果对于进一步研究什么样的品系适用于什么样的实验将具有较大的意义。

简介：目的：观察外源给予H2O2对C2C12细胞中UII/UT系统表达的影响。方法：培养小鼠肌原细胞系C2C12细胞株,应用胎盘蓝染色和测定细胞培养液中LDH的含量检测H2O2对细胞损伤的影响,应用放射免疫的方法检测细胞培养液和裂解液中UII的含量,应用RT-PCR法测定C2C12中UTmRNA的表达,应用WesternBlot检测不同浓度H2O2对肌原细胞系C2C12中UT蛋白表达的影响。结果：外源给予不同浓度的H2O2,C2C12细胞裂解液中UII的含量各组间无明显差异,但增加了细胞孵育液中UII的含量,10-4M和10-3M时分别增加了83.1%（p〈0.01）和94.5%（P〈0.01）。低浓度H2O2（0.5×10-6M,10-6M,10-5M,10-4M）刺激明显增加了UTmRNA的表达,而高浓度的H2O2（10-3M）刺激反而使UTmRNA的表达降低。高浓度的H2O2（10-6M,10-5M,10-4M,10-3M）刺激使UT蛋白表达分别增加了200.1%、255.6%、111.1%和100.1%（均p〈0.05）。结论：H2O2作为T2DM发病因素之一的活性氧族,可能是T2DM时骨骼肌组织中UII/UT系统表达增加的一个因素。
