摘要:
Formaldehyde (FA) is a genotoxic and mutagenic substance. In 2004, IARC (International Agency for Research on Cancer) concluded that FA is carcinogenic in humans after reevaluating the available evidence on the carcinogenicity of FA. Although many studies have shown that FA had extensive genotoxicity including DNA-protein crosslinks (DPC) and DNA single strand breaks (DSSB), most of these studies only discussed the effects of FA at high levels. In this study, KCl-SDS assay and single cell gel electrophoresis (SCGE) were used to investigate the formation and repair process of FA-induced DPC and DSSB in human peripheral blood lymphocytes and Hela cell lines. KCl-SDS assay was applied to detect DPC induced by liquid FA in human peripheral blood lymphocytes in vitro. The results showed that FA could induce DPC at high levels (≥50 micro M). By combining the results of KCl-SDS assay and SCGE, it could be determined that FA would induce DNA-DNA crosslinks (DDC) when FA concentration was more than 25 microM. The repair process of FA-induced DPC was studied with KCl-SDS assay in Hela cell lines and the results demonstrated that FA-induced DPC could be significantly repaired after 18 hours. The SCGE was also used to determine FA-induced DSSB and its repair process in Hela cell lines. The results demonstrated that DNA breakages, which is capable of being induced by FA at a low level (<30 microM), enabled to be repaired completely in 90 minutes.

摘要:
Three new bacteria HS-03, HS-043 and HS-047 isolated from different ecosystems were found capable of aerobic denitrification. The potential application of these strains in wastewater treatment under aerobic conditions was investigated. These three bacteria all presented high nitrogen removal from wastewater that more than 98% of 10 mmol/L nitrate could be removed in 12-24 h by adding cheap external carbon source and low concentration of iron as well as molybdate. The mechanism at molecular level was analyzed. The success of this aerobic denitrification applied to wastewater treatment may serve as an alternative to enhance the practical nitrogen removal from wastewater. Main biochemical and physiological features of these strains were characterized. The 16S rDNA sequences were compared with the published data in GenBank by using BLAST. The results of phenotype and genotype proved that strain HS-03 and HS-047 belonged to Pseudomonas stutzeri and Pseudomonas pseudoalcaligenes respectively. Strain HS-043 was identified as Delftia acidovorans of which denitrifying activity has not previously been explored.

摘要:
Our previous study has demonstrated that CD146 molecule is a biomarker on vascular endothelium, which is involved in angiogenesis and tumor growth. However the mechanism behind is not clear. Here we have for the first time developed a novel CD146 blockade system using CD146 siRNA to study its function on endothelial cells. Our data showed that CD146 siRNA specifically blocked the expression of CD146 on both mRNA and protein levels, leading to the significant suppression of HUVEC proliferation, adhesion and migration. These results demonstrate that CD146 plays a key role in vascular endothelial cell activity and angiogenesis, and CD146 siRNA can be used as a new inhibitor for anti-angiogenesis therapy.
