Objective To investigate the antitumor effects of phycoerythrin from Gracilaria lemaneiftheormis.Methods The coarse phycoerythrin(CPE) was ig administered to sarcoma180 mice,then the antitumor effect of CPE in vivo was evaluated by the inhibition rate,thymus and spleen indexes.The growth inhibitory effect of phycoerythrin(PE) on cell lines HeLa,EC109,and vascular endothelial in vitro was examined with MTT assay.Influences on HeLa cell cycle and apoptosis of PE were observed by flow cytometry and annexin v-fitc/PI fluorescence staining.Results CPE exhibited inhibitory effect against sarcoma180 growth in mice at the dosage of 100～300 mg?kg-1with a fair dose-effect relationship,and the inhibitory rate was 49.23% at the dosage of 300 mg? kg-1.CPE could also obviously increase the weight of thymus;PE could obviously inhibit the growth of HeLa cell in a dose-effect relationship,the inhibitory rate could reach more than 70%.It could prevent the transforming of HeLa cell cycle from G2/M to S phase to cause apoptosis.But PE couldn't inhibit the growth of EC109 cell,while some growth stimulating effects of PE on vascular endothelial cell were observed.Conclusion The PE from Gracilaria lemaneiftheormis could observably inhibit sarcoma180 growth in vivo.Effects of PE on different cells in vitro were differ,but showed potent inhibitory effect to HeLa cell.

Objective To study on bioactive chemical compounds against ultraviolet irradiation in antarctic ice microalgae.Methods Four kinds of Antarctic ice microalgae were cultured under the conditions of low temperature,illumination,UV-A and UV-B irradiation.The chemical compounds were extracted by methanol and analyzed by spectrophotometer and HPLC/MS.The molecular structures were elucidated according to these data.The chemical compounds were irradated by sunshine to observe the speed of degradation and to estimate the bioactivity.Results There were five active compounds in Chlorophyceae L-4 and 7 active compounds in Diatom HF-9,in which 6 compounds belong to MAAs(mycosporine-like amino acids) and were of more bioactivity against ultraviolet irradiation.Conclusion MAAs from of Antarctic ice microalgae play an important role in resisting ultraviolet irradiation.

Objective To study the structural features and anticoagulant activity of the polysaccharide isolated from Aeodes orbitosa.Methods Sugar composition analysis,methylation analysis and IR were used to characterize the structural features.The anticoagulant activity of the polysaccharide was evaluated by cutting tail and capillary methods.Results The polysaccharide was composed of 3,6-anhydrous-galactose,6-methyl-galactose,2-methyl-galactose,galactose,xylose and glucose in the molar ratios of 6.4∶0.9∶5.8∶1.6∶84.1∶1.2.The content of Sulfate group was 37.5%. The main linkage model of the polysaccharide were 1,3 and 1,4 linkages,branch point located at O-2 and 6 of galactose residues.Sulfate group located at 2 and 6 position of 1,4 linked galactose residue and 2 position of 1,3 linked galactose residue.The polysaccharide showed significant activities to extend bleeding time and coagulation time in mice.Conclusion The polysaccharide from Aeodes orbitosa was a sulfate galactan with strong anticoagulant activity.

Objective Making the fusion protein of IgG-binding peptide with enhanced green fluorescent protein(EGFP) and determining its bioactivity.Methods The enhanced green fluorescent protein(EGFP) gene was cloned into pEZZ 18 vector containing ZZ peptide gene to construct expression vector pSpA-EGFP-His.The fusion protein was expressed in E.coliDH5? and its bioactivity was detected by competitive ELISA and fluorescence properties.Results The fusion protein migrated at approximately 42kD in SDS-PAGE,which correspond to the theoretical molecular weight.The spectra of SpA-EGFP fusion protein was similar to what was reported.SpA-EGFP competed with SpA-Peroxidase to bind IgG.Conclusion The plasmid pSpA-EGFP-His correctly expressed in E.coli.The fusion protein retains the bifunctional effects of EGFP and IgG-binding activity.
