简介:为探讨邻苯二甲酸二(2-乙基己基)酯(di-(2-ethylhexyl)phthalate,DEHP)及其代谢产物邻苯二甲酸单-2-乙基己酯(mono-(2-ethylhexyl)phthalate,MEHP)对H295R细胞类固醇激素合成关键基因表达的影响,本实验将H295R细胞分别暴露于DEHP(0、1、10、100、1000μmol·L^-1)和MEHP(0、1、10、100、1000μmol·L^-1)24h,用MTT法检测细胞活性,并应用荧光定量PCR法分析细胞类固醇激素合成过程中关键酶的基因表达水平。结果显示,1000μmol·L^-1DEHP和MEHP对H295R细胞染毒24h显著降低H295R细胞活力,所以本研究采用了较低的染毒浓度(0、1、10和100μmol·L^-1)对H295R细胞染毒24h来评估DEHP和MEHP对H295R细胞类固醇激素合成通路的影响。1、10和100μmol·L^-1DEHP显著增加醛固酮合成酶CYP11B2的基因表达水平。10μmol·L^-1DEHP显著上调了3-β羟基类固醇脱氢酶(3β-HSD2)的基因表达水平。1、10和100μmol·L^-1MEHP显著下调了3-β羟基类固醇脱氢酶(3β-HSD1和3β-HSD2)、17β羟基类固醇脱氢酶17β-HSD4、17α羟化酶/17,20裂解酶CYP17和芳香酶CYP19a的基因表达水平。10和100μmol·L-1MEHP染毒H295R24h显著下调了CYP21和STAR的基因表达水平,然而,10和100μmol·L^-1MEHP显著上调了CYP11B2的基因表达水平。100μmol·L^-1MEHP显著下调了17β-HSD1的基因表达水平。上述研究结果表明,DEHP、MEHP都可不同程度影响H295R细胞类固醇激素合成过程中关键基因的表达。MEHP可以通过抑制STAR基因的表达,从而将影响胆固醇在细胞内的转运;并能显著性抑制类固醇激素合成过程中CYP17、CYP19a、3β-HSD1、3β-HSD2、17β-HSD1、17β-HSD4、CYP21基因的表达,最终将抑制H295R细胞中类固醇激素的合成。与DEHP相比,MEHP对H295R细胞类固醇激素合成关键基因表达的影响较明显。
简介:为探讨纳米MnO2与常规MnO2粉末对细胞DNA损伤作用的差别,采用不同浓度的纳米MnO2与常规MnO2粉末(0、100、200、400μg·mL^-1)对Hela细胞进行染毒,应用单细胞凝胶电泳(彗星实验)检测Hela细胞的损伤效应.结果表明,与对照组相比,纳米MnO2和常规MnO2各染毒组细胞尾部DNA百分率(TailDNA%)和尾矩(TailMoment)均显著增加(p〈0.01);同一浓度下,纳米MnO2组细胞尾部DNA百分率和尾矩显著高于常规MnO2组(p〈0.01).以上结果表明,纳米MnO2和常规MnO2粉末均能导致Hela细胞DNA损伤,且纳米MnO2的损伤作用强于常规MnO2.
简介:轮状病毒(Rotavirus,RV)是引起全世界婴幼儿肠胃炎的最主要病原体.在我国,儿童秋季腹泻发病达到高峰,也主要由轮状病毒引起.论文改进了RT-nested-PCR检测水中轮状病毒的方法,于2006年10月对北方某市城区水环境(包括污水、地表水和饮用水)中的轮状病毒进行了初步检测.结果表明,该市某污水厂进水和不同工艺段出水、主要公园的景观水体、主要自来水厂进水和出水以及城区管网水,均检出轮状病毒.综合分析从水源到管网的过程,认为管网水中的轮状病毒可能与水源水污染有关.管网水中有轮状病毒检出,说明秋季该市饮用水中存在潜在的轮状病毒传染源.同期对管网水进行的细菌学指标检测,没有发现总大肠菌群、耐热大肠菌群、粪链球菌,可见目前城市供水水质标准中的细菌学指标并不能准确反映病毒污染状况.
简介:β-胡萝卜素-15,15'-加氧酶(β-carotene-15,15'-momoxygenase1,bco1)是β-胡萝卜素转化成维生素A过程中的关键酶,bco1与bco1l是编码此酶的主要基因。本实验利用CRISPR/Cas9技术敲除斑马鱼的与β-胡萝卜素-15,15'-加氧酶编码相关的基因bco1与bco1l,以便深入开展对斑马鱼bco1的功能研究。分别在斑马鱼bco1与bco1l基因2号外显子选取sgRNA识别位点,体外转录制备sgRNA并与Cas9mRNA混合对斑马鱼Ⅰ细胞期受精卵进行显微注射,24h后收集部分胚胎进行PCR检测并将PCR产物进行单克隆测序确定sgRNA的有效性,构建首建鱼,并在此基础上通过PCR检测、凝胶电泳及测序筛选可遗传突变体。本研究分别获得了bco1基因突变与bco1l基因突变,分析表明这些缺失和插入均可导致编码序列的移码,为研究鱼类胡萝卜素代谢及相关发育过程等后续研究提供了材料。

简介:为了研究现有水处理工艺对病毒的处理效果,评价水体安全状况,利用荧光染料SYBRGreenI对病毒核酸物质染色,结合流式细胞计数法(FlowCytometry,FCM)对某饮用水净化厂和某城市污水处理厂各处理工艺中水样的病毒含量进行定量检测及比较研究。为了更加准确地利用流式细胞法评估水样中病毒含量,对水样的固定、染色和稀释条件进行了优化试验。结果表明:检测到的病毒含量随着戊二醛质量浓度的增加而减少;高温染色(80℃)可有效防止低估水样中的病毒含量;利用Milli—Q纯水作为稀释液所产生的背景值较小,有助于病毒群落的分离。仪器对病毒的最低检出限为4.04×10^4counts/mL(R2=0.99),实现了利用流式细胞法对水样中病毒含量的快速有效测定。将该方法应用于饮用水厂和污水处理厂病毒去除效果的研究。结果表明,饮用水净化厂的活性炭一超滤膜工艺可有效去除饮用水源水中的病毒,经超滤膜处理后的水样的病毒含量低于检测限;城市污水处理厂微生物处理工艺中水样病毒量突增,这可能是由于作为病毒宿主的细菌含量升高而导致,全套污水处理工艺对水体中的病毒含量没有明显降低和改善。
