简介:目的:探讨UCP2-866G/A和ADIPOQ+45T/G基因多态性的交互作用与2型糖尿病合并冠心病发病风险的关系。方法:随机选取2014年10月至2015年5月在佳木斯大学附属第一医院就诊的130例单纯2型糖尿病患者和128例2型糖尿病合并冠心病患者进行病例对照研究。分别采用聚合酶链反应-限制性片段长度多态性(PCR-RFLP)方法和聚合酶链反应-高分辨率溶解曲线(PCR-HRM)方法检测UCP2-866G/A和ADIPOQ+45T/G的基因多态性,并用非条件Logistic回归分析两基因间的交互作用。结果:在两组间分别进行UCP2-866G/A和ADIPOQ+45T/G基因多态性的单独关联分析,两变异位点的基因型和等位基因的频率在两组间的分布及遗传模型关联分析均无统计学差异(P〉0.05)。两变异位点联合分析发现,UCP2-866G/A的GG、GA分别和ADIPOQ+45T/G的TG在2型糖尿病合并冠心病中存在正向交互作用(P=0.000,ORI=OR(AB)/(ORA×ORB)=30.533/(0.549×0.116)〉1;P=0.007,ORI=OR(AB)/(ORA×ORB)=13.914/(0.525×0.116)〉1。结论:该研究显示:UCP2-866G/A和ADIPOQ+45T/G单一基因的多态性与2型糖尿病合并冠心病患病风险无关,而两者之间的交互作用可能增加2型糖尿病合并冠心病的发病风险。

简介:目的:观察外源给予H2O2对C2C12细胞中UII/UT系统表达的影响。方法:培养小鼠肌原细胞系C2C12细胞株,应用胎盘蓝染色和测定细胞培养液中LDH的含量检测H2O2对细胞损伤的影响,应用放射免疫的方法检测细胞培养液和裂解液中UII的含量,应用RT-PCR法测定C2C12中UTmRNA的表达,应用WesternBlot检测不同浓度H2O2对肌原细胞系C2C12中UT蛋白表达的影响。结果:外源给予不同浓度的H2O2,C2C12细胞裂解液中UII的含量各组间无明显差异,但增加了细胞孵育液中UII的含量,10-4M和10-3M时分别增加了83.1%(p〈0.01)和94.5%(P〈0.01)。低浓度H2O2(0.5×10-6M,10-6M,10-5M,10-4M)刺激明显增加了UTmRNA的表达,而高浓度的H2O2(10-3M)刺激反而使UTmRNA的表达降低。高浓度的H2O2(10-6M,10-5M,10-4M,10-3M)刺激使UT蛋白表达分别增加了200.1%、255.6%、111.1%和100.1%(均p〈0.05)。结论:H2O2作为T2DM发病因素之一的活性氧族,可能是T2DM时骨骼肌组织中UII/UT系统表达增加的一个因素。
简介:heterotrimericguanine核苷酸绑定蛋白质(G蛋白质)被表明了各种各样的发信号调停在植物的小径。然而,它在发信号的phytochromeA(phyA)的角色留下逃犯。在这研究,我们发现新调停phyA的显型指明了far-red照耀(FR)preconditioned房间死亡,它仅仅在跟随暴露到白光(WL)的FR-grown幼苗的胚轴发生。房间死亡在G变异的gpa1被减轻,但是与野类型(WT)比较在G变异的agb1加重了,在调停phyA的房间死亡小径的GPA1和AGB1的对抗角色的陈述语气。进一步的调查显示nonphotoconvertibleprotochlorophyllide(Pchlide633)的导致FR的累积,在暴露上产生反应的氧种类(ROS)到WL,为前提FR的房间死亡被要求。而且,ROS主要在叶绿体被检测用荧光灯探查。有趣地,到黑暗成年的幼苗的H2O2的申请导致类似于前提FR的房间死亡的显型。这表明ROS是为房间死亡的一个批评调停人。另外,我们观察到agb1比WT幼苗对H2O2更敏感,显示G蛋白质可以也修改到ROS应力的幼苗的敏感。一起拿这些结果,我们推断G蛋白质可以涉及表明小径调整Arabidopsis胚轴的前提FR的房间死亡的phyA。在phyA位于G蛋白质的参与下面发信号的可能的机制在这研究被讨论。
