Epoxyeicosatrienoic acid: the signal transduction

Cytochrome P450 monoxygenase converts arachionic acid to four epoxyeicosatrienoic acid regiosomes: 5, 6-EET (epoxyeicosatrienoic acid); 8, 9-EET; 11, 12-EET and 14, 15-EET. Recent studies show that EETs are involved in signal transduction. EETs open Ca²⁺-sensit ive K⁺ channel and inhibit Na⁺ channel, Ca²⁺-sensitive Cl^- channel and so on. What is more, EETs have been demonstrated to activate PP60^c-src and initiate a tyrosine kinase cascade that mediates mitogenic effects.     

Synergistic and antagonistic effects of atrazine on the toxicity of organophosphorodithioate and organophosphorothioate insecticides to Chironomus tentans (Diptera: Chironomidae)

The acute toxicities of two organophosphorodithioate (dimethoate and disulfoton) and two organophosphorothioate (omethoate and demeton-S-methyl) insecticides were evaluated individually and in binary combination with the herbicide atrazine using fourth-instar larvae of the aquatic midge, Chironomus tentans. Atrazine alone up to 1000 μg/L did not show significant toxicity to the midges in a 48-h bioassay. However, atrazine concentrations as low as 1 μg/L in combination with dimethoate at EC₂₅ (concentration to affect 25% of tested midges), 100 μg/L in combination with disulfoton (EC₂₅), and 10 μg/L in combination with demeton-S-methyl (EC₂₅) significantly enhanced the toxicity of each organophosphate insecticide. In contrast, atrazine concentrations of 10 μg/L and above in combination with omethoate (EC₂₅) significantly decreased the toxicity of the insecticide. Biochemical analysis indicated that increased toxicity of dimethoate, disulfoton, and demeton-S-methyl in binary combination with atrazine correlated to the increased inhibition of acetylcholinesterase. Furthermore, cytochrome P450-dependent O-deethylation activity in the midges exposed to atrazine at 1000 μg/L was 1.5-fold higher than that in the control midges. Thus, atrazine appeared to induce cytochrome P450 monooxygenases in the midges. Elevated cytochrome P450 monooxygenase activity may increase the toxicities of dimethoate, disulfoton, and demeton-S-methyl by enhancing the oxidative activation of dimethoate into omethoate, and disulfoton and demeton-S-methyl into their sulfoxide analogs with increased anticholinesterase activity. In contrast, atrazine reduced the toxicity of omethoate possibly by enhancing the oxidative metabolic detoxification since omethoate does not require oxidative activation.     

牛羊胎盘免疫调节因子的提取及对PANC-Ⅰ增殖和迁移影响的比较

胎盘免疫调节因子(placenta immunoregulating factor,PF)是从胎盘提取的小分子多肽,对病毒性疾病、免疫缺陷疾病及恶性肿瘤等具有潜在的临床应用价值.为检测牛(Bos taurus)和绵羊(Ovis aries)胎盘免疫调节因对人(Homo sapiens)胰腺癌细胞(pancreatic cancer cells-Ⅰ,PANC-Ⅰ)增殖与迁移的影响,本研究对从屠宰场获得的牛和绵羊胎盘进行分离,利用双酶水解法制备PF,将质量浓度为100～2 000 ng/mL的牛、羊PF作用于体外培养的PANC-Ⅰ细胞,以3-(4,5-二甲基噻唑-2-基)-5-(3-羧甲酯基)-2-(4-磺苯基)-2H-四唑(3-(4,5-dimethylthiazol-2-yl)-5-(3-carboxymethoxyphenyl)-2-(4-sulfophenyl)-2H-tetrazolium,MTS)法观察细胞增殖抑制率,应用流式细胞技术检测其对PANC-Ⅰ细胞周期的影响.并利用Transwell迁移实验检测添加PF对PANC-Ⅰ细胞迁移能力的影响,同时通过实时荧光定量PCR法检测肿瘤抑制基因(tumor suppressor gene,PS3)和细胞周期依赖性蛋白激酶抑制因子1A基因(cyclin-dependent kinaseinhibitor 1A,P21)的表达情况.结果显示,17.11 g绵羊胎盘制得0.588 mg PF,6.61 g牛胎盘制得0.312 mgPF,胎盘质量与所得PF的质量比约为20 000∶1.在体外培养的PANC-Ⅰ细胞培养液中添加PF,从形态上观察,牛羊PF对PANC-Ⅰ细胞没有明显的影响.绵羊PF处理后PANC-Ⅰ细胞增殖抑制率为9.75％～22.89％,牛PF处理后PANC-Ⅰ细胞增殖抑制率为-3.81％～23.56％,增殖抑制率最显著的绵羊PF浓度为500 ng/mL,牛PF浓度为1 000 ng/mL.绵羊PF在浓度为500 ng/mL时,PANC-Ⅰ细胞的PI和SPF最低,而牛PF各浓度下的胰腺癌细胞增殖指数(proliferation index,PI)和增殖活性(S-phase fraction,SPF)没有明显的变化.同时,牛羊PF对PANC-Ⅰ细胞的迁移能力无显著影响.牛羊PF使PANC-Ⅰ细胞P53表达上调而P21表达下调.上述结果表明,在一定浓度下,PF对体外培养的PANC-Ⅰ细胞增殖有负调控作用,且牛羊胎盘免疫调节因子对胰腺癌细胞的影响不同,可能因为其存在的活性成分有区别.本研究为胰腺癌的治疗提供了新的思路.     

pGH和IGF-Ⅰ双基因共表达载体的构建及转双基因猪的获得与检测

旨在构建可高效表达pGH基因和IGF-Ⅰ基因的双基因共表达载体,制备转双基因(pGH+IGF-Ⅰ)猪,以期探索pGH基因和IGF-Ⅰ基因对猪生长发育的影响,为节粮型高瘦肉率新品种猪的培育奠定理论基础。从长白猪耳样中提取总RNA,经反转录RT-PCR获得pGH基因不含终止密码子的编码序列和IGF-Ⅰ基因完整的编码序列,经酶切连接克隆至pc DNA3.1(+)真核表达载体上,构建pc DNA3.1(+)-pGH-IGF-Ⅰ双基因共表达载体。将其转染PK15细胞,Q-PCR检测2个目的基因在PK15细胞中的表达情况。将构建的双基因共表达载体用纳米材料包裹后转染长白猪精子,采用精子载体法制备转双基因猪。PCR及测序鉴定转双基因阳性个体,Q-PCR检测2个目的基因在转双基因猪体内的表达情况。PCR及测序鉴定追踪检测转双基因猪体内pGH基因和IGF-Ⅰ基因的稳定情况。RT-PCR及测序结果表明,成功克隆了长白猪的pGH基因和IGF-Ⅰ基因的编码序列。酶切和测序分析表明成功构建了双基因真核共表达载体,转染PK15细胞后,Q-PCR检测表明,pGH基因和IGF-Ⅰ基因均在mRNA水平成功表达。母猪妊娠获得13头仔猪,经PCR及测序检测,其中4头仔猪为转双基因阳性,转双基因阳性率为30.76%。Q-PCR检测外源pGH基因与IGF-Ⅰ基因在转双基因猪体内成功表达。1~7月龄均可检测到外源pGH基因与IGF-Ⅰ基因,证明2个外源基因在转双基因猪体内稳定存在,并未随着生长而丢失。在转双基因公猪的精液中均能检测到2个外源基因,证明外源基因存在稳定传代的可能。     

Molecular characterization of Ascaridia galli from Bangladesh and development of a PCR method for distinguishing A. galli from Heterakis spp.

We analyzed the nuclear ribosomal internal transcribed spacer (ITS) 1 and ITS2 sequences for Bangladesh isolates of Ascaridia galli, and we determined that the sequences were unreliable as molecular markers for distinguishing A. galli from other Ascaridia species, because the sequences showed high identity with that of A. columbae. However, the ITS1 sequences were available for designing PCR primers distinguishable between Ascaridia galli and Heterakis spp. Bangladesh isolates of A. galli constituted a monophyletic clade along with other geographical isolates in the cytochrome c oxidase subunit I (COI) phylogenetic tree, however, we could not clarify the phylogenetic relationships between A. galli and other Ascaridia spp., because their available sequences in GenBank were very few. The developed PCR method using DNA from A. galli and Heterakis spp. eggs would enable differential diagnosis of the individual infections in the future.     

绵羊BMP15基因B2突变可视化检测技术的建立

骨形态发生蛋白15（bone morphogenetic protein 15,BMP15）基因突变对绵羊排卵率、产仔数以及繁殖力有很大影响,本研究旨在建立快速可视化检测BMP15基因B2突变的技术。将改良的扩增阻滞突变系统（amplification refractory mutation system,ARMS）与核酸染料SYBR Green Ⅰ结合,针对BMP15基因B2突变设计ARMS特异性引物,使引物下游3'端的最后一个碱基为A,并在下游引物3'端的第3位碱基处设计额外的错配,以提高引物的特异性;经ARMS PCR扩增后,向产物中加入SYBR Green Ⅰ,通过肉眼观察PCR管内的颜色变化来检测BMP15基因的B2突变。经测序发现所采集的样本均为野生型,因此,利用重叠延伸PCR构建BMP15基因B2突变型模板,测序结果显示BMP15基因B2突变型模板构建成功。ARMS PCR结果显示,ARMS特异性引物能够只扩增突变型模板,而不会扩增野生型模板,且扩增效果良好。ARMS PCR扩增后加入SYBR Green Ⅰ发现已知野生型模板与阴性对照一致,呈SYBR Green Ⅰ原始颜色橙黄色,而已知突变型模板呈亮绿色,且色差明显,肉眼可辨。用建立的可视化检测BMP15基因B2突变的技术检测50个小尾寒羊基因组DNA （随机向其中20个样本中加入构建的BMP15基因B2突变型模板）,将可视化检测的突变型样本编号与混合样本时记录的编号对比,结果表明该技术能够准确检测绵羊BMP15基因的B2突变,且准确率高达100%。将构建的BMP15基因B2突变型的模板进行梯度稀释,对本试验可视化检测体系的灵敏度进行检测,发现ARMS可视化检测技术的灵敏度达到0.006 ng/μL。因此,本研究建立的技术能够可视化地检测绵羊BMP15基因B2突变,且准确率高,有望为高繁殖力绵羊的选育提供技术支持。
