Expression of urotensinⅡ receptor GPR14 in aorta of apoE knockout mice

AIM: To investigate the expression of the urotensin Ⅱ (UⅡ) receptor GPR14 in the aorta of apoE knockout mouse. METHODS: The expression of GPR14 in the aorta of apoE knockout C57BL/6J mice at various ages (18 weeks, 28 weeks, and 38 weeks old, respectively) was determined with competitive RT-PCR. A binding assay of ［125I］-UⅡ on the aortic tissue was also performed in 28 weeks group. RESULTS: We found significant upregulation of GPR14 mRNA at all three ages. Compared with wild type group at the same age, the GPR14 mRNA level in apoE knockout mice increased 54.2% in 18 week group (P<0.05), 50.0% in 28 weeks group (P<0.05) and 97.0% in 38 weeks group (P<0.01). In the knockout group or in the wild type group, expressions of GPR14 in the 28 weeks time point were significantly higher than that in other two age groups, and there was no difference between the 18 weeks and 38 weeks group. In the binding assay, the Bmax of ［125I］-UⅡ to the aorta of apoE knockout mouse at 28 weeks increased 64% compared with the wild type (P<0.01), and no difference about the Kd between the two groups was observed. CONCLUSION: UⅡ and its receptor probably play an important role in the development of atherosclerosis.     

噬菌体抗体库技术研究进展

噬菌体抗体库技术是利用PCR扩增出抗体的全套可变区基因,将抗体分子DNA片断如Fab或单链抗体(ScFv)与噬菌体外壳蛋白基因PⅢ或PVⅢ连接,使融合蛋白表达于噬菌体颗粒的表面,经过“吸附-洗脱-扩增”过程富集筛选特异性抗体。这一技术将抗体基因型和表型联系在一起,使识别抗原的能力和噬菌体的可扩增性统一起来,较好的模拟了体内的抗体产生的过程,成为一种高效的筛选体系。本文就噬菌体抗体库技术的原理、构建、筛选及其应用研究进展做一综述。     

成年发情期奶山羊下丘脑催产素及其mRNA的表达

应用免疫组织化学SP法和原位杂交法研究了催产素（oxytocin，OT）及OT mRNA在成年发情期奶山羊下丘脑中的分布和表达。结果，OT免疫反应阳性细胞主要分布在视上核和室旁核，在视上弥散核、弓状核、室周核和乳头体各核团也存在免疫阳性神经元；在室旁核、视上弥散核、正中隆起和第三脑室附近有较多数量的强阳性神经纤维，在交叉上核有少量阳性神经纤维。在下丘脑23个核团（区）中均能检测出OT mRNA的阳性细胞。结果表明，OT和OT mRNA在下丘脑中分布广泛，且OT可能通过轴突传递和血液运输，将OT mRNA合成的OT运送到别的核团；OT在奶山羊发情过程中发挥了重要作用。     

徐淮山羊及波徐杂交一代体重体尺的相关性研究

本研究对3月龄的江苏沿海地区本地徐淮山羊以及波徐杂交一代山羊两种山羊分别饲养90d,对试验羊的体重和各体尺指标进行相关分析和通径分析,以揭示波尔山羊的杂交改良效果、主要改良性状及其内在联系。结果表明:波徐杂交一代山羊与本地徐淮山羊在体尺体重方面有显著的差异(P<0.05);对于徐淮山羊,波徐杂交一代在体尺与体重的相关性上具有一定的改善,将原来徐淮山羊中对体重具有负相关作用的体长性状转变为正相关作用,有利于波徐杂山羊的生长发育,充分说明波尔山羊对改良本地山羊的生产性能具有很好的效果。     

黄瓜根际细菌J352对大豆根腐病菌的作用

J352是从黄瓜根际筛选到的一株对病原真菌具有拮抗作用的细菌。室内培养结果表明,该菌对大豆根腐镰刀病菌有较强的抑制效果。J352发酵液对2种病原真菌孢子萌发有较高的抑制率;细菌与病原菌共培养后发现真菌菌丝和孢子发生畸变,菌丝和孢子内部均发生原生质体凝聚并出现空洞。与其它供试病原真菌的对峙培养发现,对烟草赤星病菌抑制作用最明显,抑菌率达85.5%。

出生前山羊大脑皮质的形成和发育

对山羊胚胎大脑皮质形成及其神经元发育的形态学变化进行了研究，结果表明：（1）山羊胚胎不同类型大脑皮质的皮质板形成时间顺序为旧皮质、新皮质→海马皮质，与种系发生规律相反，提示神经系统内部结构的形成并非完全符合种系进化，而与动物个体组织结构自身的发展相关。不同类型大脑皮质皮质板的分化顺序为古皮质→旧皮质→新皮质，与种系发生的顺序相符。（2）山羊胚胎海马皮质锥体细胞的发育较早，按由深到浅的次序发育，而海马皮质中的非锥体细胞于第19周开始发育。梨状叶皮质锥体细胞发育的较早，最先出现在深层，颗粒层第18周出现。大脑新皮质各层神经元发育顺序依次为：内锥体层→外锥体层、多形层→内颗粒层→外颗粒层。各种类型皮质的神经元在出生前都未发育成熟。     

Expression of telomerase inhibitor Pinx1 in leukemia cells and its correlation with telomerase activity

AIM:To study the expression of telomerase inhibitor Pinx1 in acute leukemia cells and during the differentiation of acute promyelocytic leukemia cells,and to realize its effect on telomerase activity.METHODS:Realtime quantitative PCR with fluorescence probe hybridization was used to measure the expression of Pinx1 and hTERT mRNA in acute leukemia cells and during differentiation of NB4 cells induced by ATRA.The correlations between Pinx1 and hTERT expression were also analyzed.RESULTS:Pinx1 mRNA expression in acute leukemia samples (0.00312,5.42×10-4-0.024) was significantly higher than that in normal bone marrow mononuclear cells (7.89×10-4,0-0.00863,P<0.01).The expression of Pinx1 mRNA had significant positive correlation with hTERT mRNA expression (r=0.296,P<0.05).Pinx1 mRNA expression decreased during differentiation,its expression was positive correlated with hTERT mRNA expression (r=0.900,P<0.05).CONCLUSIONS:As an inhibitor of telomerase,however,Pinx1 also had the same direction of regulation with telomerase activity in acute leukemia cells,suggesting its expression variation may be a subsequent reaction induced by that of hTERT to stabilize telomerase activity.The exact mechanisms remained to be verified.
