谷氨酰胺对斜带石斑鱼GF-1细胞中C-Myc蛋白的表达与神经坏死病毒复制的影响

为探讨C-Myc表达、谷氨酰胺代谢和神经坏死病毒复制三者之间的关系,本研究首先克隆了斜带石斑鱼鳍条细胞(GF-1)中的C-Myc基因(GF-1-C-Myc),结果显示GF-1-CMyc基因cDNA全长814 bp,开放阅读框(ORF)为285 bp,编码95个氨基酸(aa),有亮氨酸拉链结构域与螺旋-环-螺旋(HLH)结构域。实验表达和纯化了GF-1-C-Myc蛋白,并制备其多克隆抗体。采用实时定量PCR技术(qRT-PCR)与免疫印迹法(WB)检测了GF-1-C-Myc基因的表达和神经坏死病毒的复制。结果显示,缺乏谷氨酰胺会同时抑制GF-1-C-Myc基因的表达和神经坏死病毒(NNV)的复制,添加谷氨酰胺可同时促进GF-1-C-Myc的表达和NNV的复制;此外,NNV感染可上调GF-1-C-Myc基因的表达,并显著消耗GF-1细胞培养液中的谷氨酰胺。研究表明,GF-1-C-Myc基因可调控宿主谷氨酰胺代谢,从而有利于神经坏死病毒的复制。本结果为防控NNV的感染提供了参考。     

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。

Partial replacement of fishmeal with corn gluten meal,pea protein isolate and their mixture in diet of black sea bream (Acanthopagrus schlegelii) juveniles: Effects on growth performance,feed utilization and haematological parameters

Corn gluten meal (CGM), pea protein isolate (PPI) and their mixture (CPP, 1:1 ratio) were evaluated as fishmeal (FM) alternatives in black sea bream (Acanthopagrus schlegelii) juveniles (9.02 ± 0.12 g). A FM diet was designed as control, and other six diets had 20% and 40% FM protein replaced by CGM, PPI and CPP, respectively, with the supplementation of crystalline methionine, arginine and lysine. After the 8‐week feeding trial, significantly lower weight gain was found in fish fed the 40% CGM diet (p < .05), whereas other treatments had no statistical difference (p > .05). The values of feed efficiency ratio and feed intake, as well as proximate compositions of muscle and whole body, were not significantly influenced in all treatments. Apparent digestibility coefficients (ADCs) of dry matter, crude protein, threonine, valine, methionine, isoleucine, leucine, phenylalanine and lysine were significantly influenced by protein source. Fish fed the 40% CGM diet had significantly higher content of essential amino acid in muscle than that of the 20% PPI diet. Fish fed the 40% CGM diet had significantly lower content of serum cholesterol than other treatments (p < .05). Elevated serum superoxide dismutase activity was found in fish fed the 40% plant protein diets. In conclusion, between 20% and 40% FM protein could be replaced by CGM, while about 40% FM protein derived from PPI and CPP could be applied in black sea bream.

Establishing bacterial infectivity models in striped Catfish Pangasianodon hypophthalmus (Sauvage) with Edwardsiella ictaluri

A bacterial infectivity challenge model of Edwardsiella ictaluri in striped catfish was developed. All experiments were conducted using a bacterial isolate of E. ictaluri that had been recovered during a natural outbreak of bacillary necrosis of Pangasianodon (BNP) in farmed striped catfish Pangasianodon hypophthalmus in Vietnam. Time of immersion in 10⁷ CFU.ml⁻¹ had a significant effect on mortality. The immersion bacterial dose of 10⁷ CFU/ml for 30 s resulted in a cumulative percentage mortality of 63%. Three to four days post-bacterial challenge, fish showed gross clinical signs of natural BNP and E. ictaluri was recovered and identified from these fish. Moreover, a cohabitation challenge was evaluated as an alternative challenge method, although the mortalities among the infected fish were lower at around 15%–40%. This study confirmed the horizontal transmission of E. ictaluri in striped catfish and elucidated that cohabitation challenge could be used in reproducing the disease under controlled conditions.     

Karanj protein isolate prepared from karanj seed cake: Effect on growth,body composition and physiometabolic responses in Labeo rohita fingerlings

A protein isolate was prepared from karanj seed (KPI) with 921.2 g protein/kg seed, which contained a negligible amount of anti‐nutritional factors and a balanced amino acid composition, especially rich in methionine. For 60‐day feeding trial, five isonitrogenous (300 g/kg CP) and isocaloric (15 MJ DE/kg) diets were formulated by replacing soybean protein isolate (SPI) on protein equivalent basis, KPI‐0 (control, 0 g/kg KPI); KPI‐25 (replacing 250 g/kg SPI protein with KPI); KPI‐50 (replacing 500 g/kg SPI protein with KPI); KPI‐75 (replacing 750 g/kg SPI protein with KPI) and KPI‐100 (replacing 1,000 g/kg SPI protein with KPI) for the feeding of L. rohita. The weight gain percentage, specific growth rate, feed conversion ratio and protein efficiency ratio were not significantly (p > .05) varied among the KPI fed and control groups. A significantly higher hepatosomatic index was recorded in the control and KPI‐25 groups compared with other groups. The whole‐body compositions, except ether extract, did not differ significantly (p > .05) among the groups. Digestive (amylase, protease, lipase and alkaline phosphatase) and metabolic enzyme activities (hexokinase, transaminases and lactate dehydrogenase) and glycogen stores were not significantly affected, whereas intestinal alkaline phosphatase differed significantly (p < .05). The RNA–DNA ratio was significantly (p < .05) higher in the KPI‐75 group. Thus, the study revealed that KPI can completely replace SPI protein at 191 g/kg inclusion level in the diets of L. rohita fingerlings.     

Impact of farm management on expression of early mortality syndrome/acute hepatopancreatic necrosis disease (EMS/AHPND) on penaeid shrimp farms in Thailand

Asian shrimp farming industry has experienced massive production losses due to a disease caused by toxins of Vibrio bacteria, known as early mortality syndrome/acute hepatopancreatic necrosis disease (EMS/AHPND) for the last 5 years. The disease can cause up to 100% cumulative pond mortality within a week. The objective of this study was to identify factors associated with AHPND occurrence on shrimp farms. A case–control study was carried out on shrimp farms in four provinces of Thailand. Factors related to farm characteristics, farm management, pond and water preparation, feed management, post‐larvae (PL) shrimp and stock management were evaluated. Multivariable logistic regression analysis identified factors affecting AHPND occurrence at the pond level. Chlorine treatment, reservoir availability, use of predator fish in the water preparation, culture of multiple shrimp species in one farm and increased PL stocking density contributed to an increased risk of AHPND infection, while delayed first day of feeding, polyculture and water ageing were likely to promote outbreak protection. Additionally, the source of PL was found to be associated with AHPND occurrence in shrimp ponds, which requires further study at the hatchery level. Identification of these factors will facilitate the development of effective control strategies for AHPND on shrimp farms.
