Methods: HPLC was applied in chromatographic separation of 36 different germplasms of Flos Carthami collected from 11 provinces of China.The chromatography condition was: Agilent Zorbax C_(18) column(4.6 mm?250 mm,5 mm);mobile phase: CAN,0.5% H_3PO_4(from 1090 to 8020);running time: 60 min;flow speed: 1.0 ml/min;detection wavelength: 265 nm;and temperature: 20℃.The data were processed by Chromatographic Fingerprint Station designed by Department of Pharmaceutical Analysis,School of Pharmacy,Second Military Medical University.Different germplasms of Flos Carthami were subjected to cluster analysis and their similarity was also evaluated.Results: The different germplasms of Flos Carthami in this study were grouped into 2 chemical types.Samples from northwest of China were of high similarity;samples from the middle China were of high similarity to those from South China.The similarity of some germplasms of Flos Carthami was significantly different.Conclusion: The chemical components of different germplasms of Flos Carthami are obviously different from each other;selection of germplasm is very important in quality control of Flos Carthami.

Aim To investigate the intraspecific variation of Carthamus tinctorius L. (safflower) and establish foundation for further breeding of safflower germplasm resource and screening the quality correlation genes. Methods Amplified fragment length polymorphism (AFLP) was carried out to analyze genetic variation of 28 safflower populations collected in China. Unweighed pair-group method of with arithmetical averages (UPGMA) cluster analysis was used to construct a dendrogram and to estimate the genetic distances among the populations. Results All populations could be uniquely distinguished using 12 selected primer combinations. Similarity coefficients ranged from 0. 48 to 0. 96 among the populations.Dendrogram revealed distinct segregation of all the cultivars into three main groups and one midst group.Conclusion Limited genetic diversity exists within the tested 28 collections at intra specific level and AFLP-based phylogeny was not absolutely consistent with that based on morphological characters may be due to the interaction effect between genotype and environment.

Objective To construct a new recombinant immunotoxin expression vector fused with a murine interleukin18(IL18) gene and a truncated pseudomonas exotoxin (PE38) gene, and examine the expression of IL-18-PE38 fusion protein in Escherichia coli (E. coli). Method Murine IL-18 (mIL-18) cDNA was cloned from murine liver tissue through reverse transcription-polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR). The mIL-18 cDNA was ligased with a PE38 gene carried by PRKL expression vector through T4 DNA ligase and constructed into fusion protein expression plasmid PRKL-IL18-PE38. The recombinant vector was identified by restriction endonucleases digestion, PCR and DNA sequencing. After transformed into E.coli BL21 and induced by IPTG, the expressed product was obtained and the molecular weight and specificity were determined by SDS-PAGE and Western-blotting. Result The new recombinant immunotoxin expression vector was constructed successfully. DNA sequencing revealed that the mIL-18 and PE38 gene were consistent with NCBI Gene Bank. The IL-18-PE38 fusion protein was expressed in E.coli BL21, and Western-blotting analysis indicated that the molecular weight of the expression product is about 56 kDa, and could react with the specific antibody against mIL-18. Conclusion IL-18-PE38 recombinant immunotoxin expression vector will provide the basis for study on the targeted cytotoxic activity to Th1 cells and may have some potential value in the treatment of Th1 cell-mediated autoimmune diseases.
