生物学家认为癌症是新进化寄生物种

  癌症患者可能觉得体内有外来生物或者寄生物在生长,剥夺他们的健康和活力。据一位细胞生物学家说,这是完全正确的。癌症的形成实际上就是一个新寄生物种的进化过程。
  就像寄生物一样,癌肿依赖宿主获得营养。这就是为什么阻断癌肿的治疗方法能够非常有效。据美国加利福尼亚大学伯克利分校的分子和细胞生物学教授彼得·迪斯贝格说,由于这种寄生物与宿主的关系,癌肿能够自己决定生长方式和生长位置。癌细胞的生存不依赖其他细胞,而且它们形成与其人类宿主不同的染色体组型。因此,它们是新物种。
  迪斯贝格认为,盛行的癌变理论是错误的。癌肿的起因不是少数基因突变引发细胞以不受控制的速度生长,而是整个染色体发生紊乱。
  染色体包含很多基因,因此复制错误、断裂和缺失会导致上万个基因改变。结果就形成一个有全新特征的细胞,即一个新的表现型。
  研究人员之前就提出了癌症是进化作用的结果。这一观点代表了对癌症这一疾病的一项重要反思。进化生物学家朱利安·S·赫胥黎在1956年率先提出自生的肿瘤是一种新物种。但盛行的观点一直是,癌症是基因突变的结果。
  肿瘤学家和药物研究者正在研究找到和阻止这些基因突变的办法,目的是关闭引发癌变的“开关”。但是基因疗法基本上未能获得多少有意义的结果。
  迪斯贝格提出一个有争议的观点,即这是误入歧途。被称作非整倍体的染色体突变是癌症的起因,这一突变破坏了染色体组型的稳定性。一些紊乱的染色体能够分裂,埋下了癌症的种子。结果形成一种不同于我们自己的新染色体组型。
  迪斯贝格说,他希望这一理论将引导新的癌症诊断和治疗方法。染色体化验有可能很早就挑出非整倍体,比如在受损染色体有机会分裂之前。此外,新的治疗方法有可能瞄准染色体紊乱,而非清除或者关闭基因。

昆明动物所在寄生原虫适应性进化机制方面取得新进展

单细胞原生动物——贾第虫(Giarida)被认为是目前已知的最原始的真核生物,然而它却能寄生在动物界中进化程度最高的脊椎动物(特别是哺乳动物)上。在生物界中这么早就分化出来的原始真核生物后来是如何成功地寄生于比它出现晚得多的高等生物上的呢?它势必经历了一个从早期的非寄生生活向寄生生活的进化,且该进化过程是一个十分成功的适应性进化过程,以使它能广泛适应地寄生于许多脊椎动物上。那么这种适应性进化的发生在基因组存在怎样的机制呢?
中国科学院昆明动物研究所真核细胞进化基因组文建凡研究员指导的博士研究生孙隽,通过对蓝氏贾第虫(Giardia  lamblia)全基因组中基因重复(duplication)的系统性研究,发现该寄生原虫的基因组在进化历史上发生过两次大规模的基因重复。其中,最近的一次包括了与寄生虫逃避宿主的免疫系统的攻击有关的VSP(Variant-specific  Surface  Proteins,即变化的特异表面蛋白)基因的大量重复。且发现该次基因迅速扩增事件发生的时间与有胎类哺乳类动物的辐射分化时间相吻合。
该研究结果提示:贾第虫实现由自由生活到寄生到多种哺乳类生物上的成功进化与VSP基因的大量重复密切相关,从而从基因组进化的角度揭示了这一生物进化现象的内在机制。
该研究成果以Gene  duplication  in  the  genome  of  parasitic  Giardia  lamblia为题,近期已在进化生物学领域的重要刊物BMC  Evol.  Biol.上发表。论文发表后引起国际上的广泛关注,The  Association  for  the  Study  of  Biology  Evolution表达了对该研究结果的浓厚兴趣,已邀请文建凡研究员在14th  Evolutionary  Biology  Meeting  at  Marseilles国际会议上作交流报告。

东北再降大到暴雪 寄生价格难以回落


    3月14日至15日,东北大部分地区再降大到暴雪。其中吉林省东部、黑龙江省中东部地区,降雪厚度超过35厘米,为去冬今春之少见。俗话说“瑞雪兆丰年”,这场大雪对即将到来的春耕播种无疑是件大好事。但对东北地区在冬春之交可以产新的为数不多几个药材品种之一 ——寄生的采收却带来了不利影响。特别是一些降雪厚度较大的地区,也恰恰正是寄生的主产区。受其影响,开市后曾一度回落的寄生鲜货的价格出现反弹,再次上涨到5—5.2元(千克,下同)。
 
    去年入冬以来,东北的一些高寒林区降雪量很大 ,这无疑给寄生的采收带来了一定的困难,导致产量减少。再加上受国内潜在的通货膨胀因素影响,寄生鲜货的市场价格高达到5—5.2元,比往年的2.8—3元上涨了73%,创下历史最高纪录。受其影响,寄生干品的市场价格也上涨到了13—13.5元。直到临近春节,市场上寄生鲜货的价格才回落到4.6—4.8元,但产地的走货价格依然保持在3.8—4元。
 
    今年立春早,春节过后气温回升较快 。如果不下这场大雪,东北大部分地区现在已是冰消雪融春光明媚的季节了。勤劳的山区农民在备耕之余,就会利用闲暇时间上山采摘寄生搞副业创收。届时,寄生的产量就会有所增加,市场的价格也将随之回落。然而,由于这场大雪的到来,东北地区的气温回升至少要迟延一旬有余。山上积雪未融,寄生采收依旧困难。要等到冰消雪化时,节气已过清明,再有十天半月就好开犁种地了。到那时,就是寄生价格涨到多少钱,农民朋友也没有闲暇时间去采收了。等到春耕播种结束后,有的树木已发芽长叶,寄生的产新基本临近尾声,产量难以大增。有鉴于此,这场大雪不仅让市场上寄生鲜货的价格出现反弹,同时也会影响今后寄生价格走势的回落!

  Abstract:Objective  To investigate the basic information of sucking lice on the body surface of Rattus norvegicus(a dominant species of wild rats in Yunnan, China), including the louse species constitution and distribution, the dominant louse species, the louse community structure, the spatial pattern, the age structure and the sex ratio of sucking lice in different habitats.  Methods  Rattus norvegicus (the host of lice) were captured with mouse traps in 17 counties (or towns) of Yunnan. All the lice on the body surface of their hosts were completely collected. Richness (S), diversity index (H'), evenness (J') and dominance index (C') were used to illustrate the community structure of sucking lice on their hosts in the light of Shannon- Wiener's method. Disperse coefficient (C), Cassie index (CA), clumping index (I) and patch index (m*/m) were adopted to measure the spatial distribution pattern of sucking lice.  Results  Only 4 species of sucking lice (7 998 individuals) were collected from 872 Rattus norvegicus which were captured in the field investigation. Polyplax spinulosa (burmeister,1 839) was the dominant species with 89.12% of relative dominance (Dr). The species diversity of sucking louse was very low. The results showed an aggregated spatial distribution pattern of the lice among the different individuals of the rat hosts in different habitats. The female and male louse adults accounted for 64.18% of the whole life stages while the sex ratio of the female to male lice reached 1.85:1.  Conclusion  The sucking louse community on Rattus norvegicus is very simple with few louse species. The dominant louse species on Rattus norvegicus is Polyplax spinulosa. The distribution of the sucking lice on Rattus norvegicus is of an aggregated distribution with more female adults. The simple louse community with low species diversity and prominent louse species suggest that a high coevolution exists between Rattus norvigicus and their permanent ectoparasites, sucking lice.
   
  Key words:Sucking louse;Ectoparasite;Rattus norvegicus

  Sucking lice are a specific group of insects widely distributed all over the world, which belong to suborder Anoplura of order Phthiraptera. They are exclusively hematophagous ectoparasites of eutherian (placental) mammals although none of the representatives of some eutherian mammal orders (Marsupialia, Chiroptera, Xenarthra, Pholidota, Proboscidea, Cetacea, Sirenia) are known to be parasitized by Anoplura, except (in rare cases) by accidental infestations[1]. To date, about 560 valid species of Anoplura have been described[2]. Two species of sucking lice, Pediculus humanus (Pediculidae) and Pthirus pubis (Pthiridae), are the obligatory ectoparasites of humans, which are usually called “human lice”. Since some species of sucking lice can be the transmitting vector of some infectious diseases or zoonoses, such as epidemic typhus, relapsing fever and trench fever, etc. transmitted by Pediculus humanus and once caused highly attention in the history, sucking lice are generally regarded as a category of medical insect[3,4].
   
  Rattus norvegicus (Berkenhout, 1769) is a cosmopolitan species in the world and it is a dominant species of small mammals (rodents) in Yunnan Province of China. Rattus norvegicus is also an important pest for agriculture, tourism and medicine. The major habitat for Rattus norvegicus is human dwellings and nearby cultivated areas. Rattus norvegicus can harbor a few categories of ectoparasites, including chiggers, gamasid mites, fleas, ticks and sucking lice. This paper is to make a preliminary analysis on the community of sucking lice on the body surface of Rattus norvegicus, a dominant species of rodents in Yunnan Province of China.

  1  Material and method

  1.1  Data from 17 counties (towns) in Yunnan Province of China were selected as survey sites and the field survey was carried out from 2000 to 2004. All the specimens of sucking lice, together with their hosts, Rattus norvegicus, came from the selected 17 counties (towns), namely Gongshan, Xianggelila, Lijiang, Jianchuan, Binchuan, Dali, Qiaojia, Yuanjiang, Ning’er (Pu'er formerly), Pu'er (Simao formerly), Menghai, Suijiang, Qiubei, Mengzi, Wenshan, Maguan and Hekou. According to the stratified sampling method, the field investigation for collecting the lice and the hosts (Rattus norvegicus) was done in different habitats. The involved investigated habitats are indoor habitat (I), outdoor habitat near dwelling (garden, plowland, bush area and some other habitat near the house, etc.) (II), outdoor cultivated habitat far from dwelling (III) and forest habitat (IV).
   
  The individuals of Rattus norvegicus were mainly captured with mouse traps (10cm×12cm×18cm) while the individuals of the sucking lice on each rat were collected and preserved in 70% of ethanol in the investigated field. Individual lice were dehydrated in 30%, 50%, 70%, 80%, 90%, 95% and 100% of ethanol at first and then made transparent in the mixed solution (1:1) of pure ethanol and xylene (Xylol). After dehydration and transparent process, the lice specimens were mounted on slides by using abienic balsam separately. Each individual louse specimen was finally identified under a microscope[4].

  1.2  Statistical analysis  In the light of different habitats where the hosts (Rattus norvegicus) were captured, the community structure, spatial distribution pattern, age structure and sex ratio of sucking lice on the body surface of their hosts Rattus norvegicus in the above four different habitats (I, II, III and IV)were analyzed.

  1.2.1  Analysis of community structure Species Richness (S) is used to stand for the species diversity. On the basis of the species richness, the diversity index (H'), evenness (J') and dominance index (C') were used to illustrate the community structure of sucking lice on the hosts in the light of the following formulae[5]. Rl and Il respectively stand for the louse infection rate and louse index. Diversity index and the evenness are based on Shannon-Wiener's method.
   
  S=∑Si; J'=H'/lnS; H'=-∑Si=1(Ni/N)1n(Ni/N);
   
  C'=∑Si=1(Ni/N)2; Dr=Ni/N×100%;
   
  R1=Hi/Hi=1×100%; I1=M/H
   
  Where Si represents species i in a certain louse community. Ni and N represent the individuals of louse species i and the total louse individuals. H、Hi and M stand for the total Rattus norvegicus individuals, the numbers of Rattus norvegicus individuals with some kind of sucking louse and the numbers of this kind sucking louse individuals.

  1.2.2  Mensuration of spatial distribution pattern  Disperse coefficient (C), Cassie index (CA), clumping index (I) and patch index (m*/m)[6]  were calculated for the determination of spatial distribution pattern of sucking lice as the following formulae:
   
  C=σm; I=σm-1; CA=σ2-mm2;
   
  m*/m=m+[σ2m-1]m; m=∑ni=1min; σ2=∑ni=1(mi-m)2n-1
   
  Where m represents the average individuals of some kind of sucking lice on the body surface of sample plot (each individual of Rattus norvegicus) while σ2 stands for the variance. m* represents the average degree of congestion and mi represents the numbers of some kind of sucking lice on the body surface of the host (Rattus norvegicus) i. n stands for the total sample plots (the total number of Rattus norvegicus).

  1.2.3  Analysis of sex ratio and age structure  F, M and A represent the female, male and all adult sucking louse respectively. The sex ratio (RF/M) is the proportion of female and male sucking lice, RF and RM stand for the proportion of female and male sucking lice in the whole population of adult sucking lice. Ra represents the proportion of a certain age grade of sucking lice in the population while a stands for the numbers of a certain louse age grade and N stands for the total numbers of sucking lice.
   
  RF/M=FM; RF=FA×100%; RM=MA×100%;
   
  Ra=aN×100%

  2  Results

  2.1  Collection of Rattus norvegicus and sucking lice  The hosts of sucking lice, Rattus norvegicus, were randomly captured with mouse traps. 7 998 sucking lice were collected from 872 individuals of Rattus norvegicus and all the lice were identified as 4 species of 2 genera, 2 families (Polyplacidae and Hoplopleuridae), in suborder Anoplura. The collected species and individuals of sucking lice are listed in Table 1. On the basis of the habitats of their hosts, Polyplax spinulosa (burmeister, 1839) is the dominant species with 89.12% of relative dominance (Dr) in the total sucking lice. Polyplax spinulosa is the dominant louse species of Rattus norvegicus in indoor habitat (I) and outdoor habitat near dwelling (garden, plowland, bush area and some other habitat near the house, etc.) (II). Hoplopleura pacifica Ewing is the dominant louse species of outdoor cultivated habitat far from dwelling (III), Polyplax serrata (Burmeister,1839) is the dominant louse species of forest habitat (IV). The dominant species of sucking lice on the body surface of Rattus norvegicus is conspicuous, but is not a stable species in different habitats (Table 1).

  Table 1  Analysis of sucking lice on the body surface of Rattus norvegicus in different habitats(略)

  2.2  Species diversity and community structure of sucking lice  The statistical results showed that the species diversity of sucking lice on the body surface of Rattus norvegicus is very low with only 4 species richness. The diversity indices (Shannon-Wiener’s diversity indices) of the louse communities in different habitats are not beyond 1 (very low). The louse infection rate (22.68%~53.84%) and louse index (5.15-9.56) are high on the body surface of the Rattus norvegicus. (Table 2).

  Table 2  Community structure of sucking lice on the body surface of Rattus norvegicus in different habitats(略)

  2.3  The spatial distribution partten of dominant sucking lice  Indices of distribution pattern in every sampling plot show that the measured values are all exceed the critical value (I>0,CA>0,C>1,m*/m>1) of aggregated distribution. The results suggest that the individuals of sucking lice don’t evenly distribute among their hosts (Rattus norvegicus), but have a tendency to gather together and form different individual louse groups on the body surface of Rattus norvegicus in different habitats (Table 3).

  Table 3  Mensuration of spatial distribution pattern of dominant sucking liceon the body surface of Rattus norvegicus(略)

  2.4  Sex ratio and age structure of sucking lice  The life cycle of sucking lice consists three basic stages (eggs, nymph and adult) and the nymph stage is further divided into three phases. All the stages (except eggs) of sucking lice were collected from the body surface of Rattus norvegicus. The results show that the constituent ratio of adult lice is higher than that of the immature stages (except eggs) in different habitats (Table 4).

  Table 4  The constituent ratio of different stages of sucking lice(略)

  Female and male adults accounted for 64.18% of the whole life stages. The overall sex ratio of female individuals of sucking lice is also higher than that of the male lice in different habitat (Table 5). The results indicate that the sex ratio distribution of sucking lice does not conform to 1:1. The ratio of female/male in all the adult sucking lice is 1.85:1. The sucking lice on the body surface of Rattus norvegicus show female-biased with more individuals of female lice appeared in our survey.

  Table 5  The sex ratio of sucking lice in different habitats (略)

  The total number of adult lice only includes the female and male sucking lice.

  3  Discussions

  3.1  The species diversity and community structure of sucking lice  Most species of small mammals have their fixed sucking lice on their body surface. One species of small mammals usually have few species of sucking lice. A certain species of small mammals usually has some certain louse species on its body surface. There are four species sucking lice on the body surface of Rattus norvegicus, and the dominant sucking lice are different in different habitats. Polyplax spinulosa (burmeister, 1839) is the dominant species on Rattus norvegicus with 89.12% of relative dominance in the total sucking lice. The community structure indices represent that the sucking lice species diversity is very low in comparison with other ectoparasites on the body surface of Rattus norvegicus, such as gamasid mites, sand mites and fleas[7~9]. The results indicate the fact that sucking lice often have a high host-specificity. A stable parasitism relationship has been established between the sucking lice and their corresponding hosts in the long history of mutual evolution and this is a reliable ecological evidence for the coevolution between sucking lice and their mammal hosts.

  3.2  The spatial distribution of sucking lice  Researches on the spatial pattern of populations are to determine the sampling plots. There are lots of methods to determine the spatial distribution pattern of arthropods[10]. Through the analysis of the indices of distribution pattern, the results suggest that the louse individuals have a tendency to form aggregated groups on the body surface of Rattus norvegicus. The aggregated distribution pattern reveals that the louse individuals do not evenly distribute among the indiciduals of their hosts, Rattus norvegicus, but gather together on the body surface of the mouse individuals.

  3.3  Analysis on age structure and sex ratio of sucking lice  Sucking lice are the permanent ectoparasites on the body surface of mammals. The life cycle of sucking lice consists of egg, nymph and adult. In this study, it was observed that the constituent ratio of every stage is not even. The adults’ ratio of the sucking lice is higher than that the immature stages in all the habitats.
   
  Study of insect sex ratio is an important part in the insect population ecology. This paper reveals the interesting phenomena: the ectoparasitic sucking lice have much more females than males on the body surface of their hosts, Rattus norvegicus. Sex ratio distortions in arthropods frequently originate from cytoplasmic or extrachromosomal factors and are most often associated with the endosymbiont Wolbachia pipientis. Wolbachia has been shown to induce parthenogenesis in haplodiploid Hymenoptera and diplodiploid Collembola, feminization in terrestrial isopods, and male killing in many insect species[11,12]. The sex-biased phenomena of sucking lice may be similar to endosymbiont Wolbachia to some extent[13]. The results indicate a series of complicated phenomena.

日本发现臭虫与一种寄生细菌互利共生

        日本产业技术综合研究所研究人员日前在美国《国家科学院学报》网络版上报告说,他们发现臭虫必须与一种寄生细菌共生,才能正常生长和繁殖。这项成果将帮助人们防治臭虫。  
  从20世纪20年代起就有一些报告称,臭虫的精巢或卵巢附近有一种特殊细胞群,里面的细胞内存在大量细菌。产业技术综合研究所的研究人员以生长在日本和澳大利亚的105只臭虫为研究对象,解剖它们精巢或卵巢附近的上述细胞群,并进行基因测试,结果发现了名为尖音库蚊沃尔巴克氏体的寄生细菌基因。研究人员说,这说明105只臭虫体内都有这种寄生细菌。  
  研究人员除去这些臭虫体内的尖音库蚊沃尔巴克氏体,然后让它们以吸食混入抗生物质的血液为生,结果这些臭虫的卵的孵化率急剧下降,即便孵化出幼虫,也都不能发育为成虫。这表明,感染尖音库蚊沃尔巴克氏体对臭虫的正常生长和繁殖非常重要。  
  那么,尖音库蚊沃尔巴克氏体到底为臭虫提供了什么东西呢?臭虫以脊椎动物的血液为生。血液看似营养丰富,实际上却缺乏昆虫所必需的B族维生素。研究人员发现,在喂食臭虫的血液中添加B族维生素,这样即使臭虫体内的尖音库蚊沃尔巴克氏体被清除,臭虫照样能够正常发育。  
  大约60%至70%的昆虫体内都寄生着尖音库蚊沃尔巴克氏体,而这次研究是人们首次发现这种寄生细菌与臭虫有互利共生关系。研究人员指出,今后可以研制通过消除尖音库蚊沃尔巴克氏体来防治臭虫的方法。

和田大芸(肉苁蓉)


  大芸,又名管花肉苁蓉,是多年寄生草本植物。常寄生于沙漠中的梭梭、红柳、白剌、沙拐枣及蒿类等植物根部,依靠这些植物供给养料和水分。它在沙质土壤中,不见阳光能长到0.5-0.75厘米,外裹黄色鳞甲,很像古代战将披挂的战甲,故名“黑司令”。
  大芸在地下生长时,没有叶,不进行光合作用,所以无叶绿素合成。出土后,抽薹的苗茎开始进行光合作用而合成叶绿素,使黄褐色的鳞片变成青紫色。单个的大芸似兵器,有开的花朵和含苞未放的花蕾。刚开的花是白色,后来变成紫色,并有芳香气味。
  大芸一般高5~100厘米,圆柱形,药用的肉质茎宜春秋采挖,出土前采挖的质量较好。我们祖先很早就知道大芸可食用,而且有滋补的药物功能。《神农本草经》称其主治“五劳七伤,补中,除体中寒热痛,养五脏,强阴,益精气,妇人症瘕,夕服轻身”。《名医别录》言其除膀胱邪气,腰痛,止痢。《甄权药性本草》中有“益髓,悦颜色,治女人血崩,男人壮阳,大补益,主赤白下”的记载。和田维吾尔医生也将大芸列为滋补药。
  新疆和田地区大芸种植规模达10万亩,主要分布在民丰县、于田县和洛浦县。新疆绿色食品发展中心供稿
