Pollen dispersal in a hinoki (Chamaecyparis obtusa) seed orchard detected using a chloroplast DNA marker

Pollen dispersal was estimated in two test plots in a hinoki (Chamaecyparis obtusa) seed orchard using a chloroplast DNA marker, the spacer region between thetrnD andtrnY genes, and SSCP (single strand conformation polymorphism). In Plot 1, 2,020 seeds from 40 trees within 30 m of the marker tree were analyzed using the PCR-SSCP method. In Plot 2, 1,850 seeds from 37 trees were analyzed in the same manner. The results revealed that the maximum pollen dispersal distance in the two plots exceeded 25 m. Pollen dispersal appeared to be inversely proportional to the distance from the marker tree. The effective pollen dispersal was suggested to be less than about 20 m in a mature hinoki seed orchard. Adjacent trees had an excessive influence when the pollen density was increased by artificial flower stimulation. Therefore, it was suggested that seed production better resembles ideal random mating when carried out as naturally as possible. In conclusion, the SSCP chloroplast DNA marker was a useful tool for amassing basic information on pollen management in seed orchards of coniferous species.

以带有青枯菌Ralstonia solanacearum的桉树组织为材料,采用4种不同的提取方法抽提青枯菌DNA,同时利用青枯菌的特异性引物进行PCR扩增,比较了4种DNA的提取方法及PCR检测的灵敏度。结果表明,煮沸法和热裂解法操作相对简单,但检测灵敏度较低,检测限分别为104CFU/mL和103CFU/mL;简化提取法和试剂盒法检测效果较好,均可检测到102CFU/mL的青枯菌;简化提取法比试剂盒法操作更简单,检测成本低,具有更高的应用价值。     

Association between methylation status of apoptosis-related genes and chemosensitivity of lung adenocarcinoma cell line P15

AIM: To investigate the association between methylation status of apoptosis-related genes and chemosensitivity in the lung adenocarcinoma cell line P15.METHODS: Methylation-specific PCR was applied to detect the methylation status of p73, p14^ARF, p16^INK4a and bax genes of P15 cells in untreated control group and decitabine (DAC) treatment group. RT-PCR was used to detect the expression of p73, bcl-xL, bad, bax, p14^ARF and p16^INK4a at mRNA level. Colony formation assay and cell growth inhibition assay were used to detect the sensitivity of P15 cells to cis-diaminedichloroplatinum (C-DDP) before and after DAC treatment. DAPI staining was used to determine the apoptosis of P15 cells exposed to C-DDP before and after DAC treatment. RESULTS: p73, p16^INK4a and bax were expressed in the methylation status. After DAC treatment, p16^INK4a expression was decreased, and the expression of p73 and bax disappeared. The expression of p73, p16^INK4a and bax in the unmethylated status was weak, but the enhanced expression was observed following DAC treatment. After P15 cells were treated with DAC and C-DDP, the colony formation rate of the P15 cells was significantly decreased as compared with untreated control group. The apoptotic P15 cells in DAC+C-DDP treatment group were significantly higher than those in untreated control group (P<0.05). CONCLUSION: After treated with DAC, the sensitivity of P15 cells to C-DDP is increased due to the activation of silenced pro-apoptotic genes. DAC and C-DDP synergistically promote tumor cell apoptosis. They have significant anti-tumor effect.     

DNA methylation analysis on satellite I region in blastocysts obtained from somatic cell cloned cattle

Many observations have been made on cloned embryos and on adult clones by somatic cell nuclear transfer (SCNT), but it is still unclear whether the progeny of cloned animals is presenting normal epigenetic status. Here, in order to accumulate the information for evaluating the normality of cloned cattle, we analyzed the DNA methylation status on satellite I region in blastocysts obtained from cloned cattle. Embryos were produced by artificial insemination (AI) to non‐cloned or cloned dams using semen from non‐cloned or cloned sires. After 7 days of AI, embryos at blastocyst stage were collected by uterine flushing. The DNA methylation levels in embryos obtained by using semen and/or oocytes from cloned cattle were similar to those in in vivo embryos from non‐cloned cattle. In contrast, the DNA methylation levels in SCNT embryos were significantly higher (P < 0.01) than those in in vivo embryos from non‐cloned and cloned cattle, approximately similar to those in somatic cells used as donor cells. Thus, this study provides useful information that epigenetic status may be normal in the progeny of cloned cattle, suggesting the normality of germline cells in cloned cattle.     

蒙古羊Hoxc8基因甲基化与胸椎数量的关系

为了研究蒙古羊Hoxc8基因的甲基化与胸椎数的关系,试验采用亚硫酸氢盐测序PCR方法进行检测。结果表明:蒙古羊的14枚胸椎个体(T14)占26.1%,7枚腰椎个体(L7)占69.5%,其中Hoxc8 exon-1含27个CpG。T13型个体的甲基化CpG分别为6,3,6;T14型个体的甲基化CpG分别为23,20,21。T13和T14的甲基化比例平均值分别为(18.500±0.064)%和(79.030±0.056)%(P=0.002)。T14蒙古羊Hoxc8 exon-1的甲基化功能区(120～142个碱基)的CpG胞嘧啶全部甲基化,而T13则相反。说明蒙古羊Hoxc8 exon-1甲基化CpG的密度和数量影响Hoxc8基因的表达,并且调控胸椎的发育。
