Lipopolysaccharide induces expression of collagen VI in the rat lung

The involvement of the lung during the septic systemic inflammatory response elicited by administration of lipopolysaccharide (LPS) was investigated. Eight-week-old male Sprague–Dawley rats were injected i.p. with 15 mg/kg LPS. After 24 h, the lungs were excised to evaluate the cellular responses to LPS. Matrix-assisted laser desorption ionization time-of-flight mass spectrometry (MALDI-TOF) analysis revealed that type VI collagen (ColVI) was extremely upregulated during sepsis in the rat lung within the first 24 h of LPS administration. Upregulation of ColVI protein and its mRNA was demonstrated by Western blot analysis, real time PCR, and immunohistochemistry. To the best of our knowledge, this is the first report demonstrating the activation of ColVI in the rat lung at the early stage of systemic inflammation. Activation of ColVI might be involved in sepsis-mediated lung fibrosis at an early stage.     

Pathogenicity of emerging Japanese type 1 porcine reproductive and respiratory syndrome virus in experimentally infected pigs

To clarify the pathogenicity of Japanese type 1 porcine reproductive and respiratory syndrome virus (PRRSV) isolate in experimentally infected pigs, we evaluated clinical signs and monitored viremia for 21 days post-inoculation (dpi). Lungs were mottled, tanned and reddish in appearance; had lesions predominantly in the cranial, middle and accessory lobes; and failed to collapse at 10 dpi. Although microscopic lesions of lungs were reproduced using the Japanese emerging type 1 PRRSV isolate under experimental conditions, no significant differences were noted between the challenge and control groups regarding mean rectal temperature and daily weight gain. These results provide useful insights into the limited pathogenicity of single infection with the Japanese type 1 PRRSV isolate in piglets, which differ from findings in reported field cases.     

纳米疫苗在禽流感防控中的研究进展

禽流感病毒(Avian influenza virus,AIV)因其具有变异性强、亚型种类多、感染宿主多样性等特点,对畜牧业发展及公共卫生安全具有巨大的影响。目前,传统灭活疫苗在预防禽流感中虽起着重要作用,但仍存在免疫失败、多次接种及易出现不良反应等弊端,因此,研制新型疫苗来弥补传统疫苗的不足非常有必要。纳米颗粒疫苗具有包裹性好、结构稳定、靶向性高和免疫原性强等优点,可作为新型流感病毒疫苗的候选。笔者首先介绍了禽流感难以防控的原因及纳米疫苗的特点,然后对病毒样颗粒疫苗、自组装蛋白疫苗、聚合物纳米颗粒疫苗、无机纳米颗粒疫苗及纳米颗粒的毒性机制方面进行综述,概述了近年来AIV纳米颗粒疫苗的研究进展,并简述了采用不同抗原、不同纳米材料及不同给药方式对免疫效果的影响,结合目前纳米疫苗的研究,预测了未来纳米颗粒疫苗可作为AIV防控的一种新途径,对禽流感纳米疫苗在兽医临床的应用前景进行了分析和展望。

PCV2 Rep蛋白N-糖基化位点突变对病毒复制的影响

N-糖基化对病毒的感染与增殖均具有重要作用,与PCV2复制相关的Rep蛋白含有三个N-糖基化位点。为了分析PCV2Rep蛋白N-糖基化位点突变对病毒复制的影响,本试验构建了三个双拷贝突变体感染性克隆2M23、2M256、2M286,并成功拯救病毒。通过间接免疫荧光检测病毒的拯救效果,TCID50测定病毒的感染力,荧光定量PCR检测细胞病毒的载量。结果显示,PCV2Rep蛋白的23~25aa、256~258aa N-糖基化位点突变后降低病毒的复制能力,而286~288aa突变后增强病毒的复制能力,为进一步阐明PCV2的复制及致病机制提供参考。     

高黎贡山南段2种森林类型的土壤特性研究

对设于高黎贡山自然保护区南段中山湿性常绿阔叶林的5块样地和季风常绿阔叶林3块样地的土壤进行了调查研究,结果表明:2种森林类型主要有黄红壤、黄壤、黄棕壤、棕壤4种土壤。样地土壤的有机质等养分含量丰富,而土壤盐基饱和度较低。中山湿性常绿阔叶林样地的土壤养分含量、阳离子交换量明显高于季风常绿阔叶林。2块中山湿性常绿阔叶林样地的土壤总孔隙度大于50%,通透性尚好,其余样地土壤通透性稍差,样地土壤的交换性能较好。
