Erythrocyte pyruvate kinase (PK) deficiency is an inherited glycolytic erythroenzymopathy
caused by mutations of the PKLR gene. A causative mutation of the feline
PKLR gene was originally identified in Abyssinian and Somali cats in
the U.S.A. In the present study, a TaqMan probe-based real-time PCR genotyping assay was
developed and evaluated for rapid genotyping and large-scale screening for this mutation.
Furthermore, a genotyping survey was carried out in a population of four popular purebred
cats in Japan to determine the current mutant allele frequency. The assay clearly
displayed all genotypes of feline PK deficiency, indicating its suitability for
large-scale survey as well as diagnosis. The survey demonstrated that the mutant allele
frequency in Abyssinian and Somali cats was high enough to warrant measures to control and
prevent the disease. The mutant allele frequency was relatively low in Bengal and American
Shorthair cats; however, the testing should still be carried out to prevent the spread of
the disease. In addition, PK deficiency should always be considered in the differential
diagnosis of anemia in purebred cats in Japan as well as worldwide. 相似文献

Previously, we reported that ovarian hormones affect the immune response against
E. coli isolated from the dogs affected with pyometra. In order to
investigate mechanisms underlying the immune modulation, we examined the effects of
ovarian hormones on the generation of dendritic cells (DCs), the most potent antigen
presenting cell. DCs were differentiated from peripheral blood monocytes (PBMOs) using a
cytokine cocktail. Both estrogen receptor and progesterone receptors were expressed by the
PBMOs and immature DCs. When various ovarian hormones were added to the culture for the DC
differentiation, progesterone significantly decreased the expression of DC maturation
markers, such as CD1a, CD80 and CD86, on mature DCs. Conversely, the addition of estrogen
to the cultures increased the expression of CD86, but not other maturation makers.
Furthermore, DCs differentiated in the presence of progesterone did not stimulate
allogeneic mononuclear cells in PB. Taken together, these results indicate that
progesterone diminishes the maturation of DCs, leading to decreased immune responses
against invading pathogens. 相似文献

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. 相似文献
