Aim: To explore the effect of a rat anti-mouse CC-chemokine receptor-3 (CCR3) monoclonal antibody (CCR3 mAb) on airway eosinophilia and mucus overproduction in asthmatic mice. Methods: An asthma model was sensitized and challenged by ovalbumin (OVA) in male C57BL/6 mice. Asthmatic mice were given dual administration (intraperitoneal injection and aerosol inhalation) of CCR3 mAb or nonspecific rat IgG (ns-IgG). The number of total and differential inflammatory cells in the bronchial alveolar lavage fluid (BALF) was counted. Eosinophils number, the goblet cell percentage (GCP) and airway mucus index (AMI) were measured in the lung tissues. Interleukin (IL)-5 levels in the BALF were examined. The expression of MUC5AC and the epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) mRNA in the lung tissues was detected by semi-quantitative RT-PCR. The results were compared among the groups. Results: CCR3 mAb significantly suppressed the increased eosinophils in the BALF and lung tissues in OVA-challenged mice compared with ns-IgG-treated mice. IL-5 levels in the BALF in CCR3 mAb and ns-IgG administration mice exhibited no obvious changes relative to OVA-challenged asthmatic mice. CCR3 mAb reduced the increased GCP and AMI after OVA challenge and decreased the enhanced expression of MUC5AC and EGFR mRNA in lung tissues in asthmatic animals. Conclusion: CCR3 mAb can significantly inhibit airway eosinophilia and mucus overproduction in asthmatic mice. Blockage of CCR3 may represent a new strategy to asthma therapy.

棉花是重要的经济作物,棉花叶片的早衰导致光合作用下降,从而影响棉花的产量和纤维品质。棉花的早衰可能与其非正常的细胞程序性死亡有关,细胞程序性死亡是生物体在基因调控下的主动的死亡过程,与生物发育、生物胁迫和非生物胁迫密切相关。本研究以棉花品种山农丰抗6号为材料,探讨子叶衰老过程中细胞程序性死亡进程及其相关基因,分析子叶衰老过程中的生理生化变化与细胞程序性死亡的关系,获得如下主要研究结果:(1)棉花子
大豆是重要的粮食和经济作物,是人类重要的营养源泉。本研究以来自我国不同生态类型及从国外引进的37份大豆栽培种为材料,对37份材料的27个表型性状进行了性状变异、典范相关和聚类分析,并在上述研究的基础上,对37份材料进行RAPD分析,从分子水平推断它们之间的亲缘关系,并进一步探讨用遗传相似系数与遗传距离确定不同品种遗传差异的一致性程度,进而为大豆育种和遗传改良奠定基础。主要结果如下: 1.不同
