Single nucleotide polymorphism identification, linkage and radiation hybrid mapping of the porcine pituitary adenylate cyclase-activating polypeptide type I receptor gene to chromosome 18

Pituitary adenylate cyclase‐activating polypeptide (PACAP) is a neuropeptide with diverse biological actions. Type I PACAP receptors (PACAPR) are specific for PACAP, whereas type II and III PACAPRs are less restricted. To localize and analyse the variation of this gene, a 559‐bp long intronic fragment of the porcine PACAPR gene was amplified by polymerase chain reaction and sequenced in samples from five different pig breeds. One single nucleotide polymorphism was identified and its allele frequency was determined in all five breeds. Linkage analysis in a Berkshire × Yorkshire reference family placed the PACAPR gene on chromosome 18, between SW787 and S0062 (SW787– 8.1 cM –PACAPR– 3.0 cM –S0062). Radiation hybrid mapping confirmed that the PACAPR gene was linked to SW1682 on chromosome 18 (28.8 cR₃₀₀₀; LOD = 10.4).     

潍坊萝卜中芜菁花叶病毒分离物的分子特性及CP基因的表达

 从表现红心病的潍坊萝卜块根上得到一芜菁花叶病毒( Turnip m osaic virus, TuMV) 分离物(TuMV-Ra) , 通过RT-PCR获得了该分离物的外壳蛋白(CP) 基因, 对其进行了序列测定, 并将其核苷酸序列及推导出的氨基酸序列与GenBank中登录的其它20个TuMV萝卜分离物的相应序列进行比较和分析。结果表明, TuMV-Ra与这20个分离物CP基因核苷酸序列的同源性为89.9% ～99.0% , CP氨基酸序列同源性为94.8%～99.7%; 其中与中国浙江杭州萝卜的两个分离物HZLB1、HZLB2同源性最高, 核苷酸序列的同源性为98.7%和99.0% , 氨基酸序列同源性为99.0%和99.7%。TuMV-Ra与1999年从表现相同症状的潍坊萝卜得到的分离物CHINA-WF CP基因核苷酸同源性为93.66% , 氨基酸同源性为96.53% , 说明病毒发生了比较大的变异, 而且变异的位点主要在CP的N末端。将TuMV-Ra CP基因克隆到原核表达载体pET-22b ( + ) , 在大肠杆菌BL21 (DE3) 中表达出分子量为38 kD的融合蛋白。Western blotting分析证明TuMV-Ra CP在大肠杆菌中得到了正确表达。     

小菜蛾γ- 氨基丁酸受体基因片段的克隆、表达及特征分析

 利用反转录多聚酶链式反应(RT-PCR) 对小菜蛾( Plutella xylostella ) 的γ - 氨基丁酸a(GABAa) 受体基因cDNA片段进行了克隆和序列分析。通过简并性上游引物和下游引物扩增出小菜蛾GABAa受体基因248 bp的cDNA片段。该cDNA基因片段的氨基酸与已报道的烟芽夜蛾(Heliothis viresce)的GABAa受体基因氨基酸序列同源性为100%。以GABAa受体基因片段为基础, 构建了优化的半定量RT-PCR法, 以18S rRNA为内标, 研究小菜蛾不同组织以及不同发育阶段GABAa受体基因表达的差异。结果表明, GABAa受体基因在头部表达量最高, 胸部次之, 腹部最低; 在不同发育阶段的表达量差异不大。     

Effects of uremic serum of different molecular weight groups ongene and protein expression of connective tissue growth factor gene and proteinexpression in human renal tubular epithelial cells

AIM:To investigate the effects of uremic serum of different molecular weight groups on gene and protein expression of connective tissue growth factor (CTGF) in human renal tubular epithelial cells.METHODS:The serum from 40 chronic renal failure patients and 20 healthy volunteers were collected and uremic serum was segregated to three groups: >10 000 D,5 000-10 000 D,<5 000 D by 10 000 D and 5 000 D molecular weight Centricon Plus 20 Centrifugal Filter Devices.The protein expression of CTGF was examined by Western blotting.The mRNA expression of CTGF was detected by RT-PCR.RESULTS:CTGF gene expression were increased in 2.5%-20% uremic serum groups compared with that in normal control group,and it was the highest in 10% uremic serum groups.CTGF gene expression was increased significantly in molecular weight >10 000 D and 5 000-10 000 D groups,and the highest was in >10 000 D group,but it was no significant difference in <5 000 D group compared with that in normal control group.CTGF protein was increased in different molecular weight uremic serum groups compared with that in normal control group,and gradually increased following the increasing of uremic serum concentration and it was the highest in molecular weight >10 000 D group.CONCLUSION:Human renal tubulointerstitial fibrosis was accelerated significantly by uremic toxin,especially molecular weight >10 000 D uremic toxin through promoting the gene and protein expression of CTGF in renal tubular epithelial cells in patients with chronic renal failure.
