Methods: Fragments of ApoE gene forthex-on containing codon 112 and 158 polymorphic locus were amplified by PCR, and then digested untilCfo I endonuclease. Genotypes and alleles frequencies of 168 healthy persons in Jiangsu area werecalculated. The effects of ApoE genotypes and alleles on serum lipids, lipoproteins andapolipoproteins variation were analyzed. Results: The effects of ApoE alleles on total cholesterol(TC), law density lipoprotein-cholesterol (LDL-C), ApoB was: along a decreasing gradientε_4>ε_3>ε_2. The effect of ε_4 allele was to increase serum levels of TC, LDL-C and ApoB, andthe ε_2 allele had an effect opposite to that of ε_4 allele. Conclusion: ApoE polymorphism is anindependent genetic factor on individual serum levels of lipids and apolipoproteins.展开更多

文摘实验室前期研究结果表明,在国家规定的药食两用物品名单中,丁香抗氧化活性最强。前人发现天然产物的抗氧化功能与抗糖基化活性息息相关。因此,目的是在此基础上进一步对丁香精油(clove essential oil,CEO)的抗糖基化活性及其中含量最高的组分—丁香酚(Eugenol)与牛血清白蛋白(bovine serum albumin,BSA)的相互作用进行研究。在低密度脂蛋白(low density lipoprotein,LDL)的非酶糖基化孵育体系中,光谱测定结果表明CEO对LDL糖基化早期、中期和末期产物的生成均具有显著的抑制效果,且对末期产物的抑制作用最强。采用气相色谱-质谱联用技术(gas chromatography mass spectrometry,GC-MS)对CEO分析发现,CEO中含量最多的组分是丁香酚。通过多光谱和分子对接对丁香酚与BSA的相互作用研究发现,紫外-可见(ultraviolet-visible,UV-Vis)光谱表明丁香酚与BSA之间存在相互作用;在荧光发射光谱中,随着丁香酚浓度增加,BSA的荧光强度逐渐增强且发生蓝移,进一步证明了二者之间存在相互作用。通过计算不同温度下的结合常数发现,丁香酚与BSA产生相互作用过程中有热力学过程参与,热力学参数和位点标记竞争试验表明丁香酚通过氢键和范德华力与BSA在位点Ⅰ结合。随着丁香酚浓度增加,丁香酚与BSA混合体系的同步荧光(synchronous fluorescence,SF)、三维荧光(three-dimensional,3D)和傅里叶变换红外(Fourier transform infrared,FTIR)光谱的信号强度在发生变化的同时也发生了位移,表明丁香酚的添加使BSA构象发生了改变。通过分子对接技术进一步验证了丁香酚与BSA间相互作用的试验结果。该研究为丁香进一步开发应用提供理论支持。
