痛风雏鹅肾组织损伤的RNA-seq分析

试验选取具有典型内脏型痛风特征的雏鹅5只和相同日龄及生长环境下的健康雏鹅6只，利用RNA-seq技术分析其肾组织转录表达差异，旨在了解雏鹅痛风发生的分子机制。结果表明：痛风雏鹅肾组织转录表达显著区别于健康雏鹅。试验共筛选出差异表达基因1 749个，上调基因501个，下调基因1 248个。GO（Gene Ontology）和KEGG（Kyoto Encyclopedia of Genes and Genomes）分析发现，这些差异基因主要具有趋化因子活性、T细胞受体结合、抗原结合等分子功能，参与免疫反应、趋化因子介导信号通路、炎症反应等生物过程，并主要富集于细胞因子受体相互作用、肠道IgA免疫网络、细胞黏附等信号通路。     

海岛棉枯萎病抗性与类黄酮代谢相关基因表达量的相关

枯萎病是危害海岛棉生产的重要因素之一, 研究枯萎病抗性分子机制将为培育抗病海岛棉品种、解决枯萎病对海岛棉的危害问题提供坚实的基础。本研究在前期转录组测序的基础上, 对海岛棉枯萎病抗性差异表达基因进行分析(DEG, Differentially Expressed Gene); 以7个抗病性表现不同的海岛棉品种为材料, 利用qRT-PCR的方法研究抗病差异表达基因在不同接菌时间点的表达量差异, 并分析基因表达量与病情指数的相关性。结果表明, DEG分析得出类黄酮代谢通路相关基因与海岛棉枯萎病抗性有关。qRT-PCR分析显示抗病材料中类黄酮代谢通路关键基因的表达量显著高于感病材料。在接菌后多个时间点, 类黄酮代谢通路中的关键基因TT7、CHI和DFR在抗病材料中的表达量显著或极显著高于感病材料, 其中CHI和DFR基因的表达量与病情指数呈显著负相关。综上所述, 类黄酮代谢通路相关基因对海岛棉枯萎病抗性均有影响, 且CHI、TT7和DFR基因是关键基因。     

Effects of atmospheric ammonia on the production performance,serum biochemical indices,and liver RNA-seq data of laying ducks

ABSTRACT

1. Ammonia is a toxic gas and an air pollutant of great concern. The effects of ammonia-induced damage in ducks are rarely reported.

2. A total of 176 laying ducks were randomly allocated to one of two groups with four replicates and were exposed to ammonia at 5 ± 5 ppm (low ammonia, LA) or 75 ± 5 ppm (high ammonia, HA), respectively, for 30 days.

3. The results showed that atmospheric ammonia exposure significantly decreased body weight and laying performance (P < 0.05). It significantly changed serum biochemical indices by increasing alanine aminotransferase and aspartate aminotransferase (P < 0.05), and decreasing superoxide dismutase activity (P < 0.05). Haematoxylin and eosin staining of hepatocytes revealed severe fatty degeneration. Results of RNA-seq analyses revealed that eight genes were significantly up-regulated in the HA group, which were involved in catalytic activity, single-organism metabolic processes, oxidation-reduction processes, and carbohydrate metabolic processes.

4. These results indicated that atmospheric ammonia exposure reduced production performance, affected serum biochemical indices, and led to severe fatty degeneration in the liver of laying ducks. Differentially expressed genes in liver indicated that there were effects of ammonia exposure on the metabolism and detoxification capabilities in ducks.     

RNA-seq分析葡萄霜霉菌对枯草芽胞杆菌HMB-20428与嘧菌酯协同反应的影响

 为明确葡萄霜霉菌对枯草芽胞杆菌与嘧菌酯协同的反应,采用显微表型观察明确枯草芽胞杆菌与嘧菌酯协同对葡萄霜霉菌的抑制作用,RNA-seq分析葡萄霜霉菌基因对枯草芽胞杆菌与嘧菌酯的协同表达,并通过qRT-PCR验证显著差异表达基因,通过荧光强度和高效液相色谱测定对重要代谢成分活性氧和ATP酶的影响。结果显示,枯草芽胞杆菌与嘧菌酯协同对葡萄霜霉菌的抑制作用为98.87%,孢子囊明显干瘪,内含物大量释放,与细胞壁明显分离,明显优于单独处理;葡萄霜霉菌对枯草芽胞杆菌与嘧菌酯协同反应共有1 116个(上调305个,下调811个)基因发生差异表达,明显高于单独处理;通过GO、KEGG功能注释和功能富集分析,显著差异变化基因有140个;显著差异变化基因对枯草芽胞杆菌与嘧菌酯协同反应主要导致活性氧含量增加,ATP下调,同时阻碍ABC的转运,从而影响RNA的转录水平,破坏蛋白质、氨基酸等的代谢;qRT-PCR验证与RNA-seq数据具有很好的相关性;葡萄霜霉菌协同反应后活性氧含量增加以及胞内ATP含量大大降低,显著抑制能量的合成。     

饥饿胁迫下黑肩绿盲蝽转录组分析及S6K基因功能分析

为扩大黑肩绿盲蝽Cyrtorhinus lividipennis的人工繁殖规模,利用RNA-seq技术对饥饿胁迫2 d的黑肩绿盲蝽雌成虫进行转录组测序分析,筛选参与生殖调控的相关信号通路,挖掘直接或者间接影响生殖的相关基因,采用实时荧光定量PCR（real-time fluorescence quantification PCR,qRT-PCR）对筛选的相关基因进行验证,并通过试验分析沉默S6K基因和饥饿处理对黑肩绿盲蝽生殖的影响。结果显示,与取食褐飞虱Nilaparvata lugens卵（CK）的黑肩绿盲蝽相比,饥饿处理2 d的黑肩绿盲蝽雌成虫有11 675个基因差异表达,其中有4 264个基因表达量上调,7 411个基因表达量下调。共筛选到7条与生殖调控相关的信号通路和6个与生殖调控相关的基因,除TSC2基因表达量上调外,其他S6K、INSR、Akt、HSP70-1、HSP70-2五个与生殖相关基因的表达量在7条生殖相关信号通路中均下调。qRT-PCR检测结果与转录组测序结果一致,说明转录组分析结果可靠。沉默S6K基因后,黑肩绿盲蝽雌成虫脂肪体和卵巢蛋白质含量、Vg基因表达量、雌成虫产卵量和Vg含量较对照显著降低。此外,饥饿处理2 d后黑肩绿盲蝽雌成虫产卵量也较对照显著减少。表明饥饿胁迫后黑肩绿盲蝽雌成虫的生殖相关通路可能受多个信号通路调控,S6K表达量下降显著影响黑肩绿盲蝽的生殖。

Presumptive effect of aggregates on textural classification

Although the term soil texture has often connoted the primary particle-size distribution, the textural class names seem to have the established concept of soil structure and do not yet lose their original meanings. It is expected, therefore, that the textural classification becomes more significant if the secondary particles, aggregates, are taken into account.

From a review of reports on this topic, the following assumption is made; a constant proportion of the primary clay fraction forms part of the aggregates of sand size where the value of the proportion is -0.3. Comparing the usual textural classification with the proposed one, most of the areas in which one fraction predominates are almost similar, except for loam in the usual classification, because the loams are the soils in which no one fraction dominates. Generatly speaking, the physical properties of the loams are various owing mainly to aggregate formation, and thus the loams are .simulative to the productive sandy soils under suitable conditions. Moreover, Heavy Clay in the usual textural classification is clayey, even if aggregates are taken Into account, and its voids are all surrounded by clay particles excepting the pores in the aggregates.     

芸薹根肿菌侵染早期甘蓝型油菜转录组分析

根肿病是油菜最为严重的病害之一。为探索根肿病菌和油菜互作中的抗性分子机制,采用RNA-seq技术对根肿病早期侵染中抗病品系ZHE-226(R)和感病油菜10159(S)进行转录组分析。与感病材料S相比,在0、12、48和72h 4个接种时间点,抗性材料R中共有809个基因上调表达,1082个基因下调表达。模式识别受体、几丁质酶、R基因、WRKY、水杨酸和茉莉酸等抗性相关(PRR)基因在抗病材料R和感病材料S中诱导表达并表现出不同的表达模式。抗病材料R中PRR相关基因主要表现为下调表达,R基因上调表达,水杨酸表现为前期下调后期上调表达,茉莉酸、几丁质酶和WRKY因子在R和S中均诱导表达。结果表明PRR介导的PTI(病原相关分子模式触发的免疫反应)在感病材料S中显著诱导,在抗病材料R中作用不明显;R基因介导的ETI(效应蛋白触发的免疫反应)和水杨酸介导的抗病信号途径对根肿病抗性起重要作用。
