苦参碱对奶牛乳腺上皮细胞增殖、凋亡及抗氧化能力的影响

【目的】探究苦参碱对体外培养的奶牛乳腺上皮细胞(BMECs)增殖、凋亡及抗氧化能力的影响。【方法】利用含0(A组),25(B组),50(C组),75(D组)和100μg/mL(E组)苦参碱的培养基培养奶牛乳腺上皮细胞。通过四甲基偶氮唑盐(MTT)法检测BMECs活性,采用流式细胞仪(AnnexinV/PI双染法)检测苦参碱对BMECs凋亡的影响,并检测苦参碱对BMECs抗氧化酶活性及丙二醛(MDA)含量的影响,采用real-time PCR对BMECs中Caspase-3、p53、STAT1和SOCS3基因的相对表达量进行检测。【结果】用药5d时,低质量浓度(25和50μg/mL)苦参碱对BMECs增殖具有促进作用,高质量浓度(75和100μg/mL)苦参碱对细胞增殖具有抑制作用;B~E组BMECs的凋亡率均极显著高于A组(P0.01);B~E组BMECs培养上清液中NO和乳酸脱氢酶(LDH)水平明显高于A组。B~E组BMECs的过氧化氢酶(CAT)活性均比A组高,其中C组极显著高于A组(P0.01);B~E组的谷胱甘肽过氧化物酶(GSH-Px)活性均极显著高于A组(P0.01),E组的超氧化物歧化酶(SOD)水平极显著高于A组(P0.01),各组MDA含量无显著性差异。与A组相比,苦参碱上调了B~E组BMECs中Caspase-3、p53、STAT1和SOCS3基因的相对表达量。【结论】低质量浓度苦参碱能够促进BMECs增殖,高质量浓度苦参碱则会抑制BMECs增殖;不同质量浓度苦参碱均可提高BMECs的抗氧化能力,其中50μg/mL苦参碱提高BMECs抗氧化能力的效果最明显。     

牛MSTN基因克隆及编码区E1-224-A〉C定点突变前后生物信息学对比分析

牛肌肉生长抑制素（Myostatin,MSTN）主要是骨骼肌生长发育的负调节因子,能够限制肌纤维的增粗增大,其前两个外显子共同编码N-端前肽,第三外显子编码C-端多肽。突变其前肽编码序列会阻止牛MSTN基因表达蛋白与相应受体的结合,导致MSTN功能失活,促进肌肉增值,但具体突变位点仍未确定。本研究设计特定的引物对牛MSTN基因编码区进行PCR扩增并进行了克隆及测序,并假定牛MSTN基因编码序列发生E1-224-A〉C点突变,通过生物信息学的方法,对牛MSTN基因突变前后编码产物的理化性质、结构与功能进行了对比分析,为MSTN基因结构与功能的研究奠定了基础。     

侵染广东连州葫芦的黄瓜绿斑驳花叶病毒的分子特征 及致病性分析

【目的】黄瓜绿斑驳花叶病毒(Cucumber green mottle mosaic virus,CGMMV)是侵染瓜类作物的主要病毒之一,对瓜类产业造成巨大的危害。本研究旨在探明侵染广东省连州市葫芦的CGMMV分离物(CGMMV-GDLZ)分子特征及其在系统进化中的地位,并测定其对黄瓜、葫芦和西瓜的致病性,为CGMMV的防控提供理论依据。【方法】从广东省连州市葫芦种植基地采集2个疑似CGMMV侵染的病样以及1个无症状样品,提取总RNA,根据CGMMV参考序列（GenBank登录号：KX883801）设计引物进行RT-PCR检测,引物序列为F：CCACGAGTTGTTTCCTAATGCTG/R：TTTGCTAGGCGTGATCGGATTGT,退火温度53℃,扩增长度890 bp。将CGMMV全长序列分为前后两段,前半段1—3 511 nt,扩增引物序列为F：AAGTTCATTTCATTTGGAGAGGGTTTTAATTTTTATAA TTAAACAAA/R：AGTTCTGCATTAATTGCTATTTGGTAGGCACAGTGGTAG;后半段3 301—6 423 nt,扩增引物序列为F：GTGCGTGCTACCCCGACTCCAATAGGTTTGATTGCCCGTG/R：GGTGGAGATGCCATGCCGACCCTGGGCCCCTACCCGGGGAAAGG。将前后两段PCR产物通过同源重组的方法克隆到pCB301双元载体上,测序得到CGMMV-GDLZ分离物全长序列。利用CGMMV-GDLZ分离物全长序列在NCBI中进行Blast分析,然后通过MEGA7软件对CGMMV-GDLZ以及其他已经报道的CGMMV分离物进行系统进化树分析。将构建好的pCB301-CGMMV侵染性克隆注射接种本生烟验证其侵染性,然后再注射接种黄瓜、葫芦和西瓜的子叶,测定CGMMV-GDLZ分离物的致病性。【结果】RT-PCR结果证实,广东省连州市葫芦病样感染了CGMMV。CGMMV-GDLZ分离物全长序列为6 423 nt,编码4个蛋白,分别为129K复制酶（61—3 495 nt）、186K复制相关蛋白（61—5 007 nt）、运动蛋白MP（4 994—5 788 nt）和外壳蛋白CP（5 763—6 248 nt）。CGMMV-GDLZ核苷酸序列与CGMMV-eWT分离物（GenBank登录号：KY753928）同源性最高,为99.97%。系统进化树分析结果显示,CGMMV-GDLZ分离物与日本、韩国等东亚CGMMV分离物同属Group 1,在遗传距离上与山东、浙江和河南的CGMMV分离物最接近。pCB301-CGMMV侵染性克隆可以系统侵染本生烟,造成本生烟上部叶片出现皱缩、斑驳、凸起等症状,RT-PCR和Western blot进一步确认了侵染性克隆的侵染性。注射接种CGMMV-GDLZ分离物后15 dpi,葫芦和西瓜即可产生斑驳、花叶、突起、生长迟缓等症状,24 dpi时症状更明显。而15 dpi时,CGMMV-GDLZ分离物在黄瓜上的症状不明显,与未接种对照植株几乎没有区别;将植株从控温接种室移入网室中,30 dpi时,黄瓜植株上部叶片开始出现斑驳和花叶,40 dpi时,症状已经非常明显。RT-PCR和Western blot检测进一步确认了上述结果。【结论】侵染广东省连州市葫芦的CGMMV-GDLZ分离物与山东、浙江和河南的CGMMV分离物很可能具有相同的传染源;CGMMV-GDLZ分离物可以侵染本生烟、黄瓜、葫芦和西瓜等作物,但对这些作物的致病性存在差异。     

Effect of Human Menopausal Gonadotropin,17β-estradiol and Epidermal Growth Factor on the Quality of in vitro Maturation Bovine Oocytes

For optimizing in vitro maturation system of bovine oocytes,we firstly examined the influence of four different hormonal regimes(FSH+LH,HMG,FSH+LH+E₂ and HMG+E₂) on oocyte maturation rates.Then we studied the effects of epidermal growth factor (EGF) in the above defined medium on bovine oocyte maturation,in vitro development and quality of parthenogenetic embryos.The cell apoptotic index of parthenogenetic blastocysts was detected by TUNEL.No significant difference was observed in maturation rates in four groups supplemented with different hormones.However,human menopausal gonadotropin (HMG) provided steady maturation results in replicates.Maturation of oocytes was promoted by supplementation with 17β-estradiol (E₂).Combination of HMG and E₂ gave rise to steady and efficient mature results.The presence of EGF at 30 ng/mL concentration significantly increased maturation rate and blastocyst rate and reduced apoptotic cells in parthenogenetic blastocysts.Therefore,the optimal oocyte maturation solution could be supplemented with 0.075 IU/mL HMG,1 μg/mL E₂ and 30 ng/mL EGF.

Effect of Psammaplin A on in vitro Development of Bovine Aging Oocytes

To investigate the effect of histone deacetylation inhibitor Psammaplin A (PsA) on the development of bovine aging oocytes in vitro,oocytes were randomly divided into control group,aging group and 50 mmol/L PsA treated aging group (PsA group).Immunofluorescence staining and JC-1 were used to detect the blastocyst rate of bovine oocytes after parthenogenetic activation,the number of cells in blastocysts,apoptosis,reactive oxygen species (ROS),glutathione (GSH) and mitochondrial membrane potential intensity of embryos.The results showed that the blastocyst rate of the aging group was significantly lower than that of PsA and control groups (P<0.05).The blastocyst rate of PsA group was not significantly different from that of control group (P>0.05).The number of cells in the blastocysts of control group and PsA group were significantly higher than that of aging group (P<0.05).The number of cells in the blastocysts of PsA group was not significantly different from that of control group (P>0.05).The apoptosis rate in aging group was significantly higher than that of control and PsA groups (P<0.05),the apoptosis rate of PsA group was significantly higher than that of control group (P<0.05).The GSH level of MⅡ oocytes in aging group was significantly lower than that of control and PsA groups (P<0.05).There was no significant difference in GSH level between control and PsA groups (P>0.05).The ROS level of the embryos in aging group was significantly higher than that of control and PsA groups (P<0.05).The ROS level in PsA group was significantly higher than that of control group (P<0.05).The mitochondrial membrane potential of early embryos of aging group 4-8 cells was significantly lower than that of control and PsA groups (P<0.05).The mitochondrial membrane potential intensity of control group was significantly higher than that of PsA group (P<0.05).In summary,PsA could effectively delay the aging of bovine oocytes and improve the quality of oocytes.     

Infectious agent detections in archived Sockeye salmon (Oncorhynchus nerka) samples from British Columbia,Canada (1985–94)

In response to concerns that novel infectious agents were introduced through the movement of eggs as Atlantic salmon aquaculture developed in British Columbia (BC), Canada, we estimated the prevalence of infectious agents in archived return‐migrating Sockeye salmon, from before and during aquaculture expansion in BC (1985–94). Of 45 infectious agents assessed through molecular assays in 652 samples, 23 (7 bacterial, 2 viral and 14 parasitic) were detected in liver tissue from six regions in BC. Prevalence ranged from 0.005 to 0.83 and varied significantly by region and year. Agent diversity ranged from 0 to 12 per fish (median 4), with the lowest diversity observed in fish from the Trans‐Boundary and Central Coast regions. Agents known to be endemic in Sockeye salmon in BC, including Flavobacterium psychrophilum, Infectious haematopoietic necrosis virus, Ceratonova shasta and Parvicapsula minibicornis, were commonly observed. Others, such as Kudoa thyrsites and Piscirikettsia salmonis, were also detected. Surprisingly, infectious agents described only recently in BC salmon, Ca. Branchiomonas cysticola, Parvicapsula pseudobranchicola and Paranucleospora theridion, were also detected, indicating their potential presence prior to the expansion of the aquaculture industry. In general, our data suggest that agent distributions may not have substantially changed because of the salmon aquaculture industry.
