本实验旨在探究Mic60在小鼠卵母细胞体外成熟中的作用。选取4~6周龄的雌性C57BL/6J小鼠,注射孕马血清促性腺激素(PMSG)48 h后采集卵母细胞并随机分为对照组和Mic60抑制组(包括50、100、130、150μmol/L组,Miclxin组为130μmol/L)。卵母...本实验旨在探究Mic60在小鼠卵母细胞体外成熟中的作用。选取4~6周龄的雌性C57BL/6J小鼠,注射孕马血清促性腺激素(PMSG)48 h后采集卵母细胞并随机分为对照组和Mic60抑制组(包括50、100、130、150μmol/L组,Miclxin组为130μmol/L)。卵母细胞体外培养16 h后,通过免疫荧光染色检测纺锤体形态、ROS水平、线粒体分布和质量,利用qPCR检测抗氧化基因表达、线粒体呼吸链亚基的表达、整合应激反应相关基因的表达。结果表明:与对照组相比,130μmol/L Mic60抑制剂会降低卵母细胞体外成熟率(78.29%vs.21.08%,P<0.01),并显著阻碍纺锤体的组装;与对照组相比,Miclxin组卵母细胞中的ROS水平升高(P<0.05),且Sod1(0.83 vs. 0.22)和Sod2(0.84 vs. 0.27)基因表达降低(P<0.05),线粒体分布异常比例升高(0.16 vs. 0.57,P<0.05),线粒体膜电位水平降低(1.61 vs. 1.05,P<0.05),ATP产生降低(1.16 vs. 0.79,P<0.05);Miclxin组卵母细胞线粒体呼吸链复合体亚基Ndufv2和Sdha表达降低(P<0.05),Cyc1表达升高(P<0.05),卵母细胞mtDNA拷贝数降低(19 324 vs. 9 066,P<0.05);与对照组相比,Miclxin组卵母细胞Oma1、Dele1、Eif2ak1、eIF2α基因表达上调(P<0.05),触发了整合应激反应(Integrated Stress Response,ISR)并上调了ISR主要效应因子Atf4、Atf5和Chop的表达(P<0.05)。可见,抑制Mic60会通过损害线粒体功能并触发ISR影响卵母细胞体外成熟效果。展开更多

Essential oil was analyzed on Gas-Chromatography-Mass spectrometry (GC-MS) from which thirty six components were identified, among which 6 major and 30 minor components having different structural formulae and molecular weight representing total 99.98% of oil. Essential was investigated for its antibacterial and antifungal activity against seven infectious microbial pathogens. Paper disc diffusion and serial micro-dilution assays were performed for the determination of inhibition zone (DIZ) diameters and minimal inhibitory concentration, respectively. The Foeniculum vulgare essential oil showed the Diameter of Inhibition Zone (DIZ) ranging from 19.4 ± 0.07 - 26.4 ± 0.09 mm at a concentration level of 28 μg/disc in all the ten strains tested. The minimum inhibitory concentration (MIC) of essential oil against bacterial and fungal strains was obtained in the range of 7.0 - 56 μg/ml. Antibacterial and antifungal activity of Foeniculum vulgare essential oil is due to the presence of certain secondary plant metabolites such as terpenoids, steroids and flavonoids, esters and acids which are identified in the essential oil. The oil components can be further studied for their biological activity and overcome the problem of drug resistance in microbes.展开更多

It is good to understand MIC in order to control MIC. Source and species of microorganisms was introduced firstly. There are three kinds of microorganisms in the system, including bacteria, fungi and algae. Species of these microorganisms are shown in the paper. Then, mechanisms of MIC are analysed. Although there is no universal mechanism of MIC, MIC is still mainly an electrochemical corrosion in nature. Meanwhile, the mechanisms on SRB and iron bacteria are introduced in details. At last, several methods of microorganisms control are put forward in the paper.展开更多
