查尔酮异构酶基因过表达对新疆雪莲类黄酮生物合成的调控

新疆雪莲（Saussurea involucrata Kar. et Kir.）是我国名贵中药材，其主要药用活性成分为黄酮类化合物。目前人们对新疆雪莲及它的黄酮类化合物的需求日益增多，但雪莲的人工栽培技术尚未成熟，在野生状态下，新疆雪莲只能生长在海拔4,000到5,000米的雪山上，现在由于过度采挖已濒临灭绝。为解决雪莲资源匮乏，提高雪莲中黄酮类成分的含量，本研究通过基因工程手段利用发根农杆菌将黄酮代谢途径中的关键酶－查尔酮异构酶（CHI）基因导入新疆雪莲，产生转基因新疆雪莲毛状根及再生苗，以期提高新疆雪莲的黄酮类物质含量，进行新疆雪莲黄酮类物质的生产。主要结果如下： 　　1．对克隆到的水母雪莲查尔酮异构酶基因（Smchi）进行功能分析。转Smchi正义、反义烟草的CHI酶活性实验结果表明，转Smchi正义的烟草CHI酶活性比对照提高3-6倍，而转反义Smchi基因的烟草CHI酶活性比对照则显著降低。分析不同株系的转基因烟草和对照烟草的黄酮含量和花色素含量表明，转Smchi正义的烟草积累比对照显著增高水平的总黄酮，其中株系CS-5黄酮含量是对照的6倍，转Smchi反义的烟草则积累较低水平的总黄酮，而且转基因烟草的总黄酮含量与Smchi基因的表达水平和CHI酶活性成正相关。但不论转Smchi基因正义或反义方向的烟草，其花色素含量和对照相比均没有发生显著变化。进一步对转基因烟草的黄酮成分进行分析，发现烟草中的主要黄酮成分芦丁在转Smchi正义烟草中有很高的积累。 　　2．发根农杆菌介导法将Smchi基因导入新疆雪莲，得到转Smchi基因的新疆雪莲毛状根。实验发现，35S-chi转基因对毛状根的生长没有显著影响，但35S-chi转基因毛状根能够合成显著提高水平的芹菜素和总黄酮，其中根系C46经过35 d培养，能产生32.1 mg/L的芹菜素和647.8 mg/L的总黄酮，分别是对照根系的12倍和4倍;不同根系的Smchi基因表达水平、CHI酶活性和芹菜素含量成正相关。本研究为通过基因工程手段提高新疆雪莲毛状根芹菜素和总黄酮含量提供了一个有效方法。 　　3．在1/2MS附加GA1.5 mg/L的培养基上，新疆雪莲毛状根的不定芽再生频率高且不定芽生长健壮。再生苗在MS+BA1.0 mg/L+NAA0.1 mg/L的培养基上继代培养生长量较大，经过20 d的培养，35S-chi转基因新疆雪莲再生苗株系（C17、C27、C46）、对照再生苗（Control-1）和正常试管苗（Control-2）之间生长量差异不显著，增殖倍数都在7倍左右;实验还发现，毛状根再生苗比各自来源的毛状根的芹菜素和总黄酮含量下降了20-30%，但转基因再生苗的芹菜素和总黄酮含量比Control-1和Control-2都有显著提高，其中C46芹菜素和总黄酮含量分别为1.86 mg/g 干重和37.3 mg/g干重，分别是Control-1的12倍和 2.4 倍，Control-2的4 倍和1.6倍。这些结果表明由毛状根诱导出的再生苗可作为增强目标次生代谢产物生产的另外一个有效来源。 　　

雪莲细胞培养物中黄酮类物质代谢调控及其生物活性成份分析

水母雪莲（Saussurea medusa Maxim.）和新疆雪莲（Saussurea involucrata Karel. et Kir.）是我国珍稀的药用植物资源，具有清热解毒、止痉镇痛、敛伤、消肿及治疗热病、风湿等多种功效。雪莲的主要药用成份为紫丁香甙（Syringin）、芦丁(Rutin)、高车前素（Hispidulin）和Jaceosidin等苯基丙酸类（phenylpropanoid）和黄酮类（flavonoids）物质。最新的药理研究表明，上述物质还具有抗菌消炎、保肝降压、延缓衰老和抑制癌细胞增殖等重要的研发价值。 雪莲生境恶劣，生长缓慢，人工引种困难，加上长期掠夺性采挖，已使雪莲处于灭绝的边缘。为了保存国家珍稀植物品种，保护生态环境，满足临床上对雪莲药物的需求，本研究在雪莲组织培养的基础上，应用诱导子添加技术和毛状根培养技术对雪莲中具有重要药用价值的次生代谢物质进行调控，并对雪莲MYB类转录因子的功能进行了初步探索，为保护珍稀植物资源、维护生态环境、开发野生雪莲替代产品、缩短雪莲药用成份的生产周期奠定了基础。另外，分析了野生雪莲和雪莲培养物中主要生物活性成份的种类及含量，为今后雪莲药理药效研究及品质评价奠定了基础。 为了提高雪莲黄酮的产量，满足工业化生产的需要，在细胞培养水平上，通过添加茉莉酸甲酯（MJ），对雪莲黄酮类物质的代谢进行调控。研究了诱导子的添加时间、添加浓度对水母雪莲红色系悬浮细胞的生物量和总黄酮产量的影响。发现在细胞培养的指数期（第9天）添加5.0 µmol/L的MJ，可以使总黄酮产量提高2.4倍（1134.5 ± 63.86 mg/L），而雪莲细胞干重（dw）仅比对照提高23.8 %（20.4 ±0.27 g/L）。另外，细胞中苯丙氨酸裂解酶（PAL）的活性分析表明，MJ添加后PAL活性的增加与雪莲总黄酮含量增长之间存在相关性。 在器官培养水平上，对雪莲毛状根的诱导频率及其培养条件进行了研究。结果表明，选择发根农杆菌R1601侵染预培养2天的新疆雪莲根段外植体，毛状根的诱导效率可达到83 %。毛状根的冠瘿碱检测、PCR和Southern分析表明，Ri质粒中的T-DNA已整合到植物基因组中并稳定表达。以新疆雪莲毛状根为外植体，能够容易地获得再生芽。在含有1.0 mg/L 6-BA的MS固体培养基上，其再生频率高达91 ± 5.9 %，是其正常根的2.4倍。而水母雪莲在该培养条件下，仅有少量的畸形芽出现。进而对毛状根的培养条件进行初步研究，结果表明在无激素附加的MS液体培养基中，新疆雪莲的HR1601根系在一个培养周期内（32 天），其生物量能够达到接种量的16倍，而紫丁香甙含量（43.5 ± 1.13 mg/g dw）能够达到野生雪莲的83倍。从而显示了雪莲毛状根培养体系的优良特性。 在基因水平上，对雪莲黄酮类物质代谢调控的研究已经展开。玉米P基因编码的Myb类转录因子能够调节黄酮类物质代谢途径关键酶基因的表达。根据P基因的保守序列设计引物，从雪莲细胞培养物中获得了SmP基因。核酸序列分析表明，SmP基因与烟草中涉及苯丙素类物质代谢途径的LBM 1、LBM 3和MybAS 1基因具有较高的一致性，分别为66 %、60 %和61 %。因此为了研究雪莲SmP基因的功能，构建了正义表达载体，并与先前构建好的反义表达载体分别导入烟草，分析了转基因植株的形态特征及黄酮类物质的含量变化。其中，约有30 %转反义SmP基因的株系表现叶片皱缩、叶脉紊乱、主侧脉角度缩小、叶片、花瓣失去对称性以及花粉败育等性状。 另外，通过正交试验设计优化了雪莲提取工艺的条件，并对雪莲细胞提取物进行了分离纯化。正交试验设计结果表明，温度对雪莲黄酮提取效率的影响极为显著，而分批多次提取比一次性浸提，能够收到较好的提取效果。考虑到工业生产中的实际问题，推荐在60 ℃水浴条件下，采用50 %乙醇对雪莲样品连续浸提2次的方案。对雪莲提取物的纯化研究表明，雪莲成份复杂，仅依靠单一的分离手段，往往难以奏效。另外，野生雪莲及雪莲培养物中生物活性成份的比色法、HPLC（High Performance Liquid Chromatography）、LC-ESI-MS（Liquid Chromotagraphy Electrospray Ionization Mass Spectrometry）分析表明，传统的NaNO2-AlCl3 法测定雪莲总黄酮的含量，结果偏高，不利于雪莲黄酮的实验室研究分析与今后工业化生产的质量监控。而AlCl3 法的显色反应较为特异，今后有望取代NaNO2-AlCl3 法，作为雪莲类药材品质评价的标准。而HPLC-DAD结合LC-ESI-MS可以对雪莲中的主要生物活性成份进行较为准确的定性分析，从而解决了由于缺乏相应的雪莲化合物标准品而难以对雪莲中的成份进行定性定量分析及比较的难题。最后综合利用上述分析方法，对雪莲细胞培养物中的花素类物质进行了分析。结果表明，雪莲细胞中至少含有7种花色素类物质，分别为矢车菊素-3-O-葡萄糖甙及其衍生物、天竺葵素糖甙衍生物和芍药色素糖甙衍生物。

Study of some Brazilian Myrtaceae in Jaboticabal sp

The family Myrtaceae is one of the most important related to fruit species. In Brazil it encloses more than 100 species of native fruit from North to South of the country (Giacometti, 1992; Donadio, 1992; Mattos, 1992). The genus Eugenia, Campomanesia, Psidium and Myrciaria are the most important, grouping most of the species of some importance. The germplasm bank of the Universidade Estadual Paulista includes some of the major species. Some characteristics are typical for most of the Myrtaceae fruit species. The most relevant are the long juvenile period presented by the trees, taking long time to produce, when propagated by seed; the slow growing tree behavior; difficult to propagated by vegetative means; large variability in trees obtained by seed propagation. The cited characteristics are commented for some species as well as the fruit quality, from data obtained in trees at the same ecological conditions.The species evaluated are: 1) Eugenia stipitata Mc Vaugh; 2) Eugenia tomentosa Cambes; 3) Eugenia brasiliensis Lam.; 4) Eugenia uniflora L.; 5) Eugenia luchsnathiana Berg.; 6) Eugenia uvalha Cambess; 7) Camponesia spp; 8) Plinia edulis (Veil. Sobral); 9) Eugenia involucrata D.C.; 10) Psidium acutangulum Mart.; 11) Myrciaria dubia Mc Vaugh; 12) Engenia guabiju Berg. The main conclusions based on the data analysed are: the fruits of some species present good general characteristics, mainly for fresh consumption, as high Vitamin C, sugars, pulp and other characteristics; 'Araca-boi' presents some good fruit characteristics, but is more adapted for processing, by its high acidity; Some species present low % of edible portion and need to be improved to gain commercial acceptance. mainly the 'cabeludinha' and 'cambuca'.

Potential of Brazilian eugenia myrtaceae - As ornamental and as a fruit crop

Brazilian Myrtaceae comprises several genera of trees and shrubs used for ornamental and fruit production. In addition to the well known Guava, Pitanga and Jaboticaba, other species could be used for fruitculture, due the value and quality of their fruits and adaptation to some climate conditions mainly the subtropical one. Nine species of Eugenia were evaluated at Jaboticabal, located at 48° W and 21° S in São Paulo state in a germplasm bank. The average rain by year is 1431 mm and the temperature 22,2° C at an altitude of 575 m. The species are Eugenia klozschiana Berg. (Pero-do-campo), E. stipitata Mc Vaugh (Araça-boi), E. tomentosa Camb. (Cabeludinha), E. dysentherica DC. (Cagaita), E. brasiliensis Berg. (Grumixama), E.pitanga (Pitanga-anã), E. luchsnathiana Berg. (Pitomba), E. uvalha Camb. (Uvaia) and E. involucrata DC. (Cereja-do-rio-grande). The evaluations comprised tree development, fruit quality and leaf and flower morphological studies. The main results are: the trees of Pera-do-campo and Pitanga-anã are small shrubs of 1 to 2 m height, Araça-boi and Cabeludinha are small trees, 3 to 5 m high, and the other species are tall trees, with 5 to 10 m height. The species adapted well to the subtropical conditions, except for Araça-boi, which is native to the Amazonian region and exhibited a severe fungus disease infection. In relation to fruit quality, all the species had edible fruit, some were sweet and juicy, Cabeludinha, Grumixama, Pitomba, Cereja-do-rio grande and Pitanga-anã, while others had high acidity (Araça-boi, Pera-do-campo, Cagaita and Uvaia and were more suitable for processing. Simple, single leaves were characteristic of all species, but with different sizes and shapes., With the addition of color, smell and other characteristics, leaf size and shape were useful for comparative classification. Flower components and structure are described also.

O gênero Eugenia: da química à farmacologia

Research on natural products is extremely important either for new compound discovery with possible pharmacology uses or for its impact on economy, which moves millions of dollars for year. Scientific studies related on utilization and characterization of bioactive substances are important due to the fact that many drugs currently used by the population were synthetized from isolated compounds of natural products. Among many medicinal species commonly used, there are that ones from the genus Eugenia, witch belongs to Myrtaceae family. Eugenia is one of the biggest genus from this family and has about 5000 species and Brazil has 400 of them, which are appreciated on gastronomy for its fruits, for example, pitanga (Eugenia uniflora), cherry (Eugenia involucrata), clove (Eugenia caryophyllata) and cagaita (Eugenia dysinterica). Phytochemical studies of plants from this genus report the presence of several secondary metabolites like flavonoids, tannins, coumarins, anthocyanins and more. Eugenia species have important pharmacology activity as antioxidant, hypothermic, antidiarrheal, antihypertensive, antimicrobial and fungicide. Thus, Eugenia is a genus which has species with potencial phytotherapic products
