Expression of cysteine sulfinate decarboxylase mRNA in rat mammary gland

Our previous report demonstrated that high concentration of taurine is present in rat milk for the first few days of lactation and plays an important role in the body growth of rat pups. In the present study, gene expression of rate-limiting enzyme for taurine biosynthesis, cysteine sulfinate decarboxylase (CSD) were examined in rat mammary gland. By RT-PCR, CSD mRNA was found to be expressed in rat mammary gland like that in the liver. The expression level of CSD mRNA in the mammary gland was higher in the earlier lactational stage (days 1 and 6 of lactation) than that in the later lactational stage (day 14). CSD mRNA expression in the mammary gland of non-pregnant rats was only a trace level. By in situ hybridization analysis, CSD mRNA was demonstrated in the epithelial cells of the mammary gland. These results suggest that high concentrations of taurine in the milk are at least partially resulted from de novo synthesis of taurine in mammary gland epithelial cells and that the expression pattern of CSD mRNA may be responsible for the changes in taurine levels in the milk during a lactational period.     

猪肌肉糖原磷酸化酶基因的多态性及其与胴体和肉质性状的相关分析

试验旨在寻找不同品种猪的差异表达基因,并对其遗传效应进行初步分析。应用抑制消减杂交技术获得了在梅山猪、长白猪和大白猪中差异表达的肌肉糖原磷酸化酶(glycogen phosphorylase,muscle form,PYGM)基因及其全长cDNA序列,序列分析结果表明,猪PYGM基因编码842个氨基酸,与人、牛、狗、小鼠、大鼠和羊的氨基酸序列具有96%、97%、96%、96%、96%和97%的相似性,而且该基因在各组织中表达量均很高。通过序列比对发现,在3′非翻译区(3′UTR)125 bp处存在1个突变。利用PCR-RFLP方法,在大白猪、梅山猪、长白纯种猪和170头大白×梅山F2代资源家系中检测了该突变位点的多态性并进行性状关联分析,结果表明,该位点的多态性与瘦肉率、骨率、肥肉率、平均背膘厚、眼肌面积、胴体长显著相关,尤其是活体瘦肉率AA基因型(大白猪、长白猪优势基因)比BB基因型(梅山猪优势基因)高3%,肥肉率低5%,与外来猪种瘦肉率显著高于本地猪的性状表现是一致的。因此,猪PYGM基因125 bp位点可能是一个潜在的分子标记辅助常规育种位点。

Characterization and expression of the bovine growth hormone-releasing hormone (GHRH) receptor

The hypothalamic hormone, growth hormone-releasing hormone (GHRH) and its pituitary receptor are principal regulators of pituitary growth hormone (GH) synthesis and release. In the present study, we cloned and sequenced a complete bovine pituitary GHRH receptor cDNA in order to study its expression in cattle. The lengths of the exons in the bovine GHRH receptor gene were determined by comparison of the cloned cDNA with genomic sequences obtained from a bovine genomic library clone. As in other species, the bovine cDNA sequence encodes a 423-amino acid protein containing seven hydrophobic domains characteristic of a G protein-coupled receptor. The predicted bovine amino acid sequence shares 93, 90, 89, 87, and 85% identity with the ovine, porcine, human, rat and mouse sequences, respectively. Expression of the receptor in bovine ileum, ovary, anterior pituitary, testis, hypothalamus, pancreas and liver was examined by RT-PCR. Of those tissues examined, GHRH receptor expression was detected in the anterior pituitary gland and hypothalamus. To gain a better understanding of GHRH receptor gene regulation in ruminants, we examined the effect of bovine somatotropin (bST) treatment on pituitary GHRH receptor expression in dairy heifers using relative and real-time RT-PCR. In the present study, bST treatment of dairy heifers resulted in no significant decline in pituitary GHRH receptor expression.     

牛磺酸对酒精性肝病的防治作用

Taurine depletion and cardiovascular disease in adult cats fed a potassium-depleted acidified diet.

Although low plasma taurine concentrations have been associated with congestive cardiomyopathy in cats, the cause of taurine depletion in cats consuming adequate quantities of taurine is unknown. Taurine depletion and cardiovascular disease (cardiomyopathy and thromboembolism) developed unexpectedly in 3 of 6 healthy adult cats during a potassium-depletion study. Plasma taurine concentration decreased significantly (P less than 0.05) and rapidly over an 8-week period (from 98 to 36 nmol/ml) in 6 cats that consumed a potassium-deficient diet (0.20% potassium, dry matter basis) that was acidified with 0.8% ammonium chloride, despite containing dietary taurine concentrations (0.12% dry matter basis) in excess of amounts currently recommended. Taurine concentrations were significantly lower in cats fed the acidified diet than in 6 cats fed a potassium-deficient diet that was not acidified (36 nmol/ml vs 75 nmol/ml) after 8 weeks. In addition, plasma taurine concentrations did not decrease over a 6-month period in 8 cats that were fed a potassium-replete diet with acidifier. Plasma taurine concentrations were lowest in 3 cats that died of cardiovascular disease in the group receiving potassium-deficient, acidified diets. These data indicated an association between taurine and potassium balance in cats and suggested that development of taurine depletion and cardiovascular disease may be linked to concurrent potassium depletion.     

Expression of small stress protein hsp20 gene in the maturing rat testis

In this study, we cloned a cDNA that encodes a small heat shock protein, Hsp20 (alphaB crystallin-related protein), from a maturing rat testis by means of differential display. The full-length cDNA sequence was completely identical to that registered in the DNA databank. The expression of Hsp20 gene was detected strongly in the heart and slightly in the testis of a 9-week-old rat. The expression of Hsp20 increased gradually from three weeks to 9 weeks, and the strongest expression was observed in the testis at week fifteen. The expression was localized in spermatocytes and round spermatids. The gene expression was not affected by 2,3,7,8-tetrachlorodibenzo-p-dioxin (TCDD) when it was administered into male rats during the nursling period.
