Objectives To further investigate the molecular mechanism of vasoprotective role of dehydroepiandrosterone (DHEA), we examined DHEA on AT1 receptor and ICAM-1 gene expression in vascular smooth muscle cells (VSMCs). Methods RT-PCR and Weste Blot was used to determine the change of the expressions of mRNA and protein of AT1 and ICAM-1 when given various concentration dehydroepiandrosterone. Results 1.AT1 was abundant under the basal condition. The expression of AT1 mRNA and protein decreased after stimulated by DHEA (at 10-10mol/L , 10-8 mol/L, 10-6 mol/L), and the effects of DHEA on AT1 protein was dose-dependent. ER inhibitor Tamoxifen and AR inhibitor Flutamide enhanced AT1 protein expression, but did not influence the mRNA expression. 2. The exp-ression of ICAM-1 gene was low under the basal condition. It increased when induced by TNF-α,but decreased when induced by DHEA (at l0-10 mol/L, 10-8 mol/L, 10-6 mol/L) ,and the effects of DHEA on ICAM-1 gene expression were dose-dependent. Conclusions These findings suggest that DHEA modulates AT1 and inflammatory factor induced ICAM-1 gene expression in VSMC, but further studies are necessary in the mecha-nism of DHEA action.

赤霉素(GA)是高等植物体内最重要的激素之一,可调控众多基因的表达,从而控制植物的生长发育进程。而GA信号本身也受到植物内源发育信号及其外界环境的调控。这些因素通过影响GA合成中不同环节相关酶类的表达,对GA信号强度进行调节,从而对植物生长发育的各个方面产生影响。当前,此类研究主要集中于GA信号的应答元件,对GA信号本身调控机制很少涉及。阐明GA信号的上游机制,将有助于理解植物如何感知内在的发育暗
小麦白粉病是由Blumeria graminis f. sp. tritici (Bgt)引起的世界性病害,在我国各小麦主产区常年发生。迄今为止,国内外已在小麦基因组的47个基因座(Pm1~Pm52、 Pm18=Pm1c、
为了研究等离子体对作物的影响,用等离子体种子处理机处理作物种子,处理后的植株在理化效应方面发生了一定变化。结果如下: 玉米的室内培养,在玉米三叶期,对玉米实施盐害、冷害和干旱处理,胁迫处理4天,测定植株的可溶性糖、脯氨酸、根系过氧化物酶和电解质外渗率。玉米和大豆的大田种植,在玉米和大豆的主要生育期内,对其叶面积、株高、可溶性糖、可溶性蛋白、叶绿素、比叶重进行测定,并测定玉米在灌浆期和大豆在鼓
水稻白叶枯病是水稻三大病害之一,常常造成水稻产量的严重损失。Xa21基因具有对白叶枯病的广谱抗性,其研究和利用越来越受到重视。本研究以IRBB21为Xa21基因的供体亲本,以金山B为轮回亲本进行回交,并应用分子标记辅助选择技术对回交各世代同时进行前景选择和背景选择,得到如下结果: (1)利用Xa21基因内的STS标记MXA21对各回交世代进行前景选择,得到了44个带有Xa21基因的BC_1单
