Ruminants are major producers of meat and milk, thus managing their reproductive potential is a key element in cost-effective, safe, and efficient food production. Of particular concern, defects in male germ cells and female germ cells may lead to significantly reduced live births relative to fertilization. However, the underlying molecular drivers of these defects are unclear. Small noncoding RNAs, such as piRNAs and miRNAs, are known to be important regulators of germ-cell physiology in mouse (the best-studied mammalian model organism) and emerging evidence suggests that this is also the case in a range of ruminant species, in particular bovine. Similarities exist between mouse and bovids, especially in the case of meiotic and postmeiotic male germ cells. However, fundamental differences in small RNA abundance and metabolism between these species have been observed in the female germ cell, differences that likely have profound impacts on their physiology. Further, parentally derived small noncoding RNAs are known to influence early embryos and significant species-specific differences in germ-cell born small noncoding RNAs have been observed. These findings demonstrate the mouse to be an imperfect model for understanding germ-cell small noncoding RNA biology in ruminants and highlight the need to increase research efforts in this underappreciated aspect of animal reproduction. 相似文献

Debris flows have deposited inorganic laminae in an alpine lake that is 75 kilometers east of the Pacific Ocean, in Ecuador. These storm-induced events were dated by radiocarbon, and the age of laminae that are less than 200 years old matches the historic record of El Nino events. From about 15,000 to about 7000 calendar years before the present, the periodicity of clastic deposition is greater than or equal to 15 years; thereafter, there is a progressive increase in frequency to periodicities of 2 to 8.5 years. This is the modern El Nino periodicity, which was established about 5000 calendar years before the present. This may reflect the onset of a steeper zonal sea surface temperature gradient, which was driven by enhanced trade winds. 相似文献

A 4 yr old intact male rat terrier presented with severe bilateral nonresponsive panuveitis. Bilateral uveitis, blepharospasm, conjunctival hyperemia, diffuse corneal edema, peripheral bullous retinal detachment, and secondary ocular hypertension were noted. Ocular lesions progressed despite aggressive medical treatment and were followed by cutaneous depigmentation and crusting along the nasal planum. Intensive oral and topical anti-inflammatory and topical antiglaucoma medications were administered, but the ocular disease progressed. A bilateral enucleation was performed. Uveodermatologic syndrome was diagnosed from histopathologic examination of a skin biopsy as well as histopathology of both globes after bilateral enucleation. To maintain control of the dermatologic lesions, oral azathioprine was initiated, but it was not well tolerated by this patient. Immunosuppressive doses of oral cyclosporine and anti-inflammatory doses of oral prednisone were used to control the depigmentation and crusting skin lesions. 相似文献

As a first step toward understanding how rare variants contribute to risk for complex diseases, we sequenced 15,585 human protein-coding genes to an average median depth of 111× in 2440 individuals of European (n = 1351) and African (n = 1088) ancestry. We identified over 500,000 single-nucleotide variants (SNVs), the majority of which were rare (86% with a minor allele frequency less than 0.5%), previously unknown (82%), and population-specific (82%). On average, 2.3% of the 13,595 SNVs each person carried were predicted to affect protein function of ~313 genes per genome, and ~95.7% of SNVs predicted to be functionally important were rare. This excess of rare functional variants is due to the combined effects of explosive, recent accelerated population growth and weak purifying selection. Furthermore, we show that large sample sizes will be required to associate rare variants with complex traits. 相似文献

AIM: Our purpose was to induce MSCs differentiating into endothelial cells (EC) in vitro and to provide the seed cells for study of cardiovascular tissue-engineering. METHODS: MSCs were separated by gradient centrifugation on Percoll (density 1 073 g/L) from human bone marrow (HBM), and incubated for purification and amplification in DMEM (low glucose) with 10% fetal bovine serum (FBS). Then, the MSCs were incubated for orientation differentiated into EC in DMEM (high glucose) with 20% FBS, VEGF (10 μg/L), bFGF (5 μg/L), L-glutamine (2 mmol/L), penicillin (1×105U/L) and streptomycin (100 mg/L) for about 14-21 days and their phenotypic characteristics were analyzed by flow cytometry. Afterwards, the differentiating cells were evaluated by histology and immunohistochemistry. RESULTS: The quantity of MSCs was increased from 5.0×105 in the primary culture to 8.0×1012, or to increase to 1.6×107 times after 15 generations of incubation. The purity of MSCs was above 95% and 98% homogeneous at passages 2 and 3, respectively. About 80%-90% of the differentiating cells from MSCs after 14-21 days were positively stained for Ⅷ factor (vWF) related antigen by immunohistochemistry assay, and Weible-palade corpuscle was also observed by transmission electron microscopy in the cytoplasm. CONCLUSION: MSCs from HBM have the capability of differentiation into ECs in vitro, which may be a potential source of seed cells for fabrication of tissue-engineering heart valve, particularly in children with congenital heart disease. 相似文献
