粪肠球菌感染小鼠的脑组织病理学观察及转录组学差异分析

旨在通过构建小鼠感染粪肠球菌后的脑部损伤模型,对不同感染时期脑组织的病理学观察及转录组学差异分析,探索粪肠球菌引起脑组织损伤的机制。本试验选择1株致脑膜炎粪肠球菌,以小鼠为感染动物,感染粪肠球菌后,分别在2、4、6、12、24、36、60和72 h采集小鼠脑组织,观察脑组织的损伤程度,挑选早期、明显期和转归期3个时间点,通过转录组学测序,对差异表达基因进行分析,使用荧光定量PCR对转录组学数据进行验证。结果显示：小鼠感染粪肠球菌12 h后,脑组织开始出现病变,通过病理组织学观察发现小鼠脑组织先后出现了脑膜及脑组织血管充血,血管周围间隙增宽,脑组织因水肿有网格状间隙,微血栓形成及炎性细胞浸润。对转录组学差异基因分析,GO富集结果显示主要富集到对β干扰素的反应、细胞对β干扰素的反应、对其他生物的防御反应、对γ干扰素的反应、对细菌的反应、外在凋亡信号通路、调节外在凋亡信号通路、神经元凋亡过程、内皮细胞迁移等生物进程中。KEGG富集结果显示差异信号通路主要富集在过氧物酶体、NOD样受体信号通路、氧化磷酸化、钙代谢信号传导途径、PI3K-Akt信号传导途径、Wnt信号通路、MAPK信号通路、GnRH分泌、VEGF信号通路、紧密连接等一些与脑组织损伤相关的通路上。粪肠球菌感染小鼠后,影响脑组织过氧物酶体、NOD样受体信号通路、氧化磷酸化、钙代谢信号传导途径、PI3K-Akt信号传导途径等通路改变,这些通路与蛋白磷酸化、炎症的发生及血脑屏障通透性的改变有关,为进一步研究粪肠球菌引起脑组织损伤机制提供研究方向和理论基础。

Rapid detection of SNPs in candidate genes regulating the growth of orange‐spotted grouper,Epinephelus coioides (Hamilton, 1822), using semiconductor sequencing

Orange‐spotted grouper (Epinephelus coioides) is one of the most important marine food species in Southeast Asia and China and has been cultured for decades. In this study, we fully utilized the limited capacity of semiconductor sequencing, the high efficiency of long‐range PCR for target enrichment and a non‐indexed pooling strategy to screen single‐nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) in a breeding population of orange‐spotted grouper. Forty‐one genomic DNA fragments, with a total length of approximately 180 kb, including 22 candidate genes that control growth, and from a DNA pool of 20 heaviest and 22 lightest individuals of the sampled population were successfully sequenced using an Ion Torrent Personal Genome Machine. 3 503 466 clear reads were produced with a length of 192 ± 56 bp, 86.8% of which were mapped to the reference with an average coverage depth of 2567‐fold and physical coverage of 98.8%. Finally, 1623 high‐quality SNPs were adopted. Compared with Sanger sequencing of three random common regions, the sensitivity and specificity of our approach were 39.4% and 100.0% respectively. A mutation located at the third position of the previously labelled start codon of growth hormone receptor type 1 invalidated the start codon. Furthermore, comparison of the frequencies of genotypes and alleles of this site between the two extreme groups, prediction of signal peptide and identification of conservative mRNA sequences suggested that the functional start codon is likely located at the position of another downstream in‐frame ATG in the mutant. These detected SNP markers will provide important tools for the selective breeding of orange‐spotted grouper.     

H-Y抗原候选基因的研究进展

雄性特异性组织相容性抗原(male specific minor histompatibility antigens,H-Y抗原)是由Y染色体上的基因编码,在雄性动物细胞中普遍表达(包括胚胎和滋养层细胞)。H-Y抗原不仅能引起基因型相同的雌性动物排斥雄性组织,也能导致人白细胞抗原匹配干细胞移植术后出现移植抗宿主性疾病(GVH)。细胞毒性T淋巴细胞检测到几个不同的H-Y抗原表位,这些肽是从胞内蛋白分离出来,由主要组织相容性复合分子结合呈递在细胞表面。H-Y抗原肽与人白细胞抗原Ⅰ类和Ⅱ类分子特异结合参与免疫反应,从而影响移植结果。近年来越来越多的文献报道了H-Y抗原的相关研究,作者主要综述编码H-Y抗原的相关候选基因,并对它在疾病等方面的前景作出了一些展望。

Phenotypic and genotypic traits of Staphylococcus aureus strains isolated from pig carcasses

A total of 142 S. aureus strains isolated from pig carcasses from abattoirs A (n = 98) and B (n = 44) were characterized by phenotypic and genotypic traits. Phenotypically, 96% showed yellow-pigmented colonies, 63% β/δ hemolysis, 85% were egg yolk-positive and 99% were positive for clumping factor/protein A. Only 25% of the strains were resistant to the antimicrobials tested (abattoir A: 19%; abattoir B: 39%), especially to penicillin and ampicillin. None of the strains harbored the mecA gene, which is conserved in methicillin-resistant S. aureus. The biofilm associated genes icaA, icaD and bap were present in 100%, 100% and 0% of the strains. Genes for staphylococcal enterotoxin (SE) were detected in 51% (abattoir A) and 14% of the strains (abattoir B). Among strains harboring SE genes (n = 56), 63%, 31%, 4% and 2% tested positive for seg/sei, seg, sei and sec, respectively. The amplification of the 3′ end of the coagulase gene (coa) yielded amplicons of 400, 436, 602, 682 or 776 bp. Coa restriction profile (CRP) analysis using HaeIII resulted in seven patterns (a–d, e1–e3). CRP (c) was detected most frequently at both abattoirs, whereas CRP (a) was restricted to abattoir A and CRP (e3) to abattoir B. In the slaughter process (abattoir B), (i) two CRPs (b and d) were only found before dehairing/singeing, and (ii) four CRPs (c, e1–e3) were identified throughout the process. The genotyping revealed a remarkable homogeneity in S. aureus strains from the two different abattoirs and the slaughter process stages. These results may be explained by the distribution of a limited number of S. aureus genotypes in the pig population. Moreover, as the predominant CRPs (c, e1–e3) persisted throughout the slaughter process in abattoir B, it may be hypothesized that these types are characterized by colonization advantages.
