Accumulation of flavonoids and chlorogenic acid in callus and suspension cell of Eucommia ulmoides / 中国中药杂志

<p><b>OBJECTIVE</b>To analyze and compare the cell growth and accumulation of flavonoids and chlorogenic acid in the callus and suspension cell of Eucommia ulmoides.</p><p><b>METHOD</b>The callus induced from the leaf of E. ulmoides seedlings were suspended in liquid medium. The time courses of cell growth and yields of flavonoids and chlorogenic acid were studied.</p><p><b>RESULT</b>The highest contents of flavonoids and chlorogenic acid in the callus were 13.46, 1.712 mg x g(-1), respectively, while the contents of these two secondary metabolites were 16.63, 3.93 mg x g(-1) in suspension cell culture correspondingly.</p><p><b>CONCLUSION</b>Comparing with callus, the suspension cell showed a short growth period and high growth rate with a remarkable high content of flavonoids and chlorogenic acid.</p>

Construction of retroviral vector carrying human IL-3 cDNA under control of human AFP enhancer core sequence and SV40 early region promoter / 第二军医大学学报

To construct retroviral vector carrying human interleukin-3 c0mplementary DNA(HuIL-3 cDNA) under control of human a-fetoprotein gene enhancer core sequence and human SV4O pro-moter. Methods and Results: HuIL-3 cDNA was inserted into polylinker site of retroviral vector pMNSMto construct retr0viral vector pMNS-IL-3, in which the transcription of HuIL-3 cDNA was drived by SV40early region promoter. Human Q-fetoprotein gene enhancer core sequence was released from plasmidpGEM. 7Zf-AFPe and inserted into the polylinker site of pMNSM. Then human interleukin-3 cDNA wasinserted int0 p0lylinker site to construct retroviral vector pMNSA-IL-3, in which HuIL-3 cDNA transcrip-tion was drived by SV40 early region promoter and enhanced by human a-fetoprotein enhancer core se-quence- Conclusion: The vectors are of significance for hepatoma-specific gene therapy.
