猪伪狂犬重组抗原间接ELISA诊断方法的建立

本研究应用重组抗原,成功建立了检测猪伪狂犬病病毒血清抗体的间接ELISA诊断方法。通过方阵滴定确定了抗原最适包被量为1.45μg/孔,血清最适稀释度为1∶80,其作用时间为60 min,酶标抗体最适作用时间为60 min。其阳性临界值为OD≥0.123。此外,该抗原不与猪其他疾病的阳性血清反应,具有良好的特异性;批内重复试验,变异系数小于10%。该方法与进口诊断试剂盒的符合率为96.3%。本研究为现地免疫猪群抗体检测和进行PRV流行病学调查提供了一种简便的血清学诊断方法。     

牛GDF9和BMP15基因遗传变异与双胎性状的关系研究

以生长分化因子9(Growth differentiation factor 9,GDF9)基因和骨形态发生蛋白15(Bone morphogenet-ic protein 15,BMP15)基因作为牛双胎性状的候选基因,研究了它们在鲁西牛、秦川牛、南阳牛和中国荷斯坦牛4个品种中的遗传变异,并在鲁西牛群体中研究了其多态位点与双胎性状的关系。结果表明:在鲁西牛中GDF9基因的3′UTR发现缺失突变,而其它3个品种中没有发现该突变。对鲁西牛群体中该多态位点与单、双胎性状之间进行卡方显著性检验表明,单胎牛群体与双胎牛群体基因型分布有极显著的差异(P=0.006),双胎牛群体的B等位基因频率明显大于单胎牛群体。通过生物信息学分析表明,突变体mRNA的二级结构与野生型相比总自由能值差异不大,但突变体mRNA翻译起始位点的二级结构稳定性明显大于野生型。在鲁西牛、南阳牛和秦川牛的BMP15基因中发现编码区第759~762位有GAAA 4个碱基存在缺失突变,但没有检测到突变纯合个体,中国荷斯坦牛中没有检测到该突变。卡方显著性检验表明单胎牛群体和双胎牛群体在该位点基因型组成差异不显著(P=0.947)。

禽类性别决定与分化相关基因的研究进展

禽类的性别决定机制迄今尚无定论,目前较为公认的有以下几种假说:一是W染色体上携带性别决定基因(类似于哺乳动物的SRY)决定着个体的雌性化发育;二是Z染色体上某些基因的过表达(即不受剂量补偿效应限制)引发了个体的雄性化发育;三是前2种机制共同作用。已知禽类的性别决定候选基因有W染色体上的FET1、ASW和Z染色体上的DMRT1基因。此外,常染色体上的许多基因也参与禽类的性别决定和分化过程,如SOX9,AMH,cFOXL,CYP19A1等。     

鸡胚原始生殖细胞定向诱导分化成骨细胞的研究

探讨体外培养的鸡胚胎原始生殖细胞(EPGCs)的多向分化潜能。分别从发育至19期和28期的鸡胚胎性腺中获取EPGCs,体外培养传代。通过地塞米松、β-甘油磷酸钠和维生素C诱导EPGCs向成骨细胞分化,分别进行碱性磷酸酶改良钙钴法染色鉴定、钙结节Von Kossa's染色鉴定和免疫组化鉴定。结果表明:EPGCs被诱导21 d后,定向分化成成骨细胞,诱导率达到80%,碱性磷酸酶改良钙钴法染色、钙结节Von Kossa's染色和免疫组化鉴定均呈阳性,阳性率为75%-85%。由此可得出在诱导条件下,EPGCs体外可定向诱导分化为成骨细胞。

Isolation and identification of human fetal bone-derived mesenchymal stem cells and their differentiation to hepatocyte like cells

AIM: To separate and identify the mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) from human fetal bone and to study their differentiation to hepatocyte like cells under the action of chemical induction.METHODS: The MSCs from human fetal bone were isolated and purified according to the different growth characteristic of attaching to the wall of cell culture flask.The cell cycle and surface markers of MSCs were identified using flow cytometry.The MSCs were pre-induced by adding DMSO,β-Me and 5-aza for 24 h,then adding the inductive medium of H-DMEM and rh-HGF to induce their differentiation to hepatocyte like cells (HLCs).HLCs were identified by the typical morphological change and the expression of special protein with the method of immunocytochemistry.RESULTS: The MSCs derived from human fetal bone expressed adhesion molecules CD29+,CD44+,but not antigens of hematopoietic CD34,CD45,and not antigens related to GVHD,such as HLA-DR,CD80 and CD86.Exposure of these cells to above-mentioned inductive agents resulted in obvious morphological change and an increase in expression of AFP and ALB.CONCLUSION: The results suggest the existence of plentiful MSCs in human fetal bone.MSCs derived from human fetal bone can easily differentiate to HLCs,and they have a lower immunogenic nature,which may provide the ideal source for tissue engineering (bioartificial liver) for cellular therapeutics.     

Purification and differentiation potentiality of fetal liver mesenchymal stem cells from mouse

AIM: To purify and investigate the differentiation potentials of fetal liver mesenchymal stem cells (flMSCs) from murine in vitro.METHODS: flMSCs from mouse fetuses at embryonic and fetal day (ED)13.5 or ED14.5 were isolated by adhering to plastic and passaged by modified method.Cell cycle and phenotype were analyzed by flow cytometry.The cell differentiation was induced by special induction media.The cells differentiated to adipose,cartilaginous and osteoid tissues were identified with oil red O,Toluid blue,alkaline phosphatease (ALP) and von Kossa’s staining.The cells differentiated to neural-like cells were detected by RT-PCR and immuno-staining.RESULTS: Fibroblast-like cells predominated in culture.(83.76±2.88)% of flMSCs stayed in the G₀/G₁ phases.Homogenous cells were positive for mesenchymal lineage markers CD44,CD29,but not for markers of hematopoietic cells CD45,CD11b.flMSCs were able to differentiate into adipogenic,chondrogenic,osteogenic and neurogenic cells.CONCLUSION: flMSCs can be purified by modified plastic-attachment method and have multiple differentiation,which is available to stem cell therapy for various diseases.     

树莓花芽分化的观察

1991～1992年,对树莓花芽分化时期的形态特征及发育进程进行了定期观察。结果表明,树莓花芽分化始期为8月末,9月中下旬进入高峰期,约60～70d。形态特征是雏梢生长点向上隆起成半球状。10月上旬至翌年4月中旬,随初生髓部的伸展,半球状生长点(顶花序原基)向前推进,随后形成腋花序原基,即为花序原基分化期。随同冬芽萌发展叶,依次进入花蕾、萼片、花瓣、雄、雌蕊原基的芽外分化阶段,各期约7～15d。至5月中旬出现花药和胚珠原始体。此期距结果新梢的花序显露还有2～3d。基生枝下部花芽分化始期比中上部迟一个月,分化数量也有较大下降。     

鸭梨果实石细胞分化特性研究

以鸭梨为试材,利用透射电镜显微技术和组织化学技术对梨果实石细胞分化及次生壁形成过程进行研究。结果表明,石细胞分化始于开花第7天,原生质体收缩于细胞一侧,随后胞内出现颗粒状凝聚物,次生壁逐渐增厚,之后胞质继续收缩消失,早期形成的石细胞多以群体形式同时出现。石细胞次生壁形成是逐步进行的,即先形成纤维素或半纤维素网架结构,再进行木质化填充。透射电镜下石细胞分化过程中依次呈现出细胞核染色质凝聚、细胞核变形、核膜界限不清晰的现象;胞内出现同心层次的自噬泡,形成大量囊泡;细胞核消失,内质网断裂并大量增生,质膜向内突起形成泡状结构;次生壁增厚,胞内细胞器仅有线粒体和内质网,最终细胞质收缩消失。
