METHODS The rat pancreas from postnatal and embryos removed from the uterus of pregnant rats that had been sacrificed by CO2 asphyxiation were used. Rat pancreas from embryonic day(E) 15.5 and E18.5 rat embryos was isolated under a stereomicroscope. Rat pancreas from postnatal(P) days 0, 7, 14, 21 and adult was directly isolated by the unaided eye. The RT-PCR analysis of the NBC1 specific region on rat pancreastissues from different developmental stages. The two antibodies which target the NBC1 common COOHterminal region and NH2-terminal region detected a clear band of about 145 k Da in the Western blot analysis. The localization of NBC1 was examined by immuno-fluorescence detection. RESULTS The results revealed the first peak of NBC1 expression at E18.5 and the second peak at P14. Meanwhile, the low NBC1 expression occurred at P7 and adult stages. Our results demonstrated, for the first time, the presence of NBC1 in the plasma membrane of β and α cells, as well as in the basolateral membrane of acinar cells of the rat pancreas at different stages of development. CONCLUSION The data strongly suggests that NBC1 is diversely expressed in the pancreas at different developmental stages, where it may exert its functions in pancreatic development especially islet cell growth through HCO_3^- transport and pH regulation.展开更多

文摘【目的】马铃薯是对盐分较敏感的农作物,土壤盐渍化会严重影响马铃薯的生长发育及其产量和品质。有关钙对Na Cl胁迫下马铃薯离子吸收、分布的研究较少。本文通过研究不同浓度Ca Cl2对Na Cl胁迫下马铃薯脱毒苗离子吸收、分布和运输的影响,探讨钙对Na Cl胁迫下马铃薯的调控机制,为盐渍土上马铃薯的生产提供理论依据与技术支持。【方法】以‘克新一号’马铃薯品种为试验材料,采用组织培养方法,将0、5、10、15和20 mmol/L Ca Cl2与0、25、50和75 mmol/L Na Cl分别添加到MS+2mg/L B9+3%蔗糖+0.9%琼脂培养基中,制成不同处理组合的培养基。将继代培养的脱毒苗按单节茎段剪切接种到培养基中进行培养。接种30天时调查脱毒苗生物量和Na+、Cl-、K+、Ca2+、Mg2+、P积累量,并分析Na+/K+、Na+/Ca2+、Na+/Mg2+比值及根系与茎叶的SK、Na、SMg、Na和SCa、Na值,探讨离子吸收、运输及分布情况。【结果】Na Cl胁迫抑制马铃薯脱毒苗的生长,随Na Cl胁迫浓度的增加,马铃薯脱毒苗鲜重、干重显著下降,各器官Na+和Cl-含量极显著增加,K+含量显著下降,Ca2+和Mg2+含量减少,茎、叶中P含量降低而根中P含量增加。Na+/K+、Na+/Ca2+、Na+/Mg2+比值随Na Cl胁迫浓度的增加而升高。随Na Cl胁迫浓度的增加,马铃薯脱毒苗根系与茎叶的SK、Na和SMg、Na值逐渐降低,SCa、Na值呈先升高后降低趋势。0、25和50 mmol/L Na Cl胁迫浓度下,以10 mmol/L Ca Cl2处理的马铃薯脱毒苗根、茎叶鲜重和干重最高,75 mmol/L Na Cl胁迫下以15 mmol/L Ca Cl2处理的马铃薯脱毒苗生物量最高。各Na Cl胁迫浓度下,添加Ca Cl2后,马铃薯脱毒苗各器官Na+含量明显降低,Cl-含量显著增加,K+、Ca2+、Mg2+含量升高,P含量先降低后升高。0、25、50和75 mmol/L Na Cl胁迫浓度下,添加适量Ca Cl2可明显降低马铃薯脱毒苗各器官Na+/K+、Na+/Ca2+、Na+/Mg2+比值,提高SK、Na、SMg、Na和SCa、Na值,增强K+、Ca2+、Mg2+向地上部的选择运输能力,抑制Na+向地上部的选择运输能力,维持细胞内离子平衡,缓解盐胁迫造成的营养亏缺。【结论】Na Cl胁迫下添加外源钙,能够有效改善马铃薯脱毒苗体内的离子平衡,促进营养吸收,Na+向叶片选择运输能力降低,K+、Ca2+、Mg2+向地上部的选择运输能力增强,离子在各器官水平上的区域化分布发生改变是钙缓解盐胁迫的重要生理机制之一。
