High protection of mice against Brucella abortus by oral immunization with recombinant probiotic Lactobacillus casei vector vaccine,expressing the outer membrane protein OMP19 of Brucella species

Brucellosis is a zoonotic disease threatening the public health and hindering the trade of animals and their products, which has a negative impact on the economic development of a country. Vaccination is the most effective way to control brucellosis. The recombinant vector vaccines are promising candidates for immunization in humans and animals. In this study, the gene encoding OMP19 antigen was primarily amplified and cloned into an expression vector called pT1NX, and then transformed to L. casei cell via electroporation technique. The expression was confirmed using specific antibody against the recombinant protein via immunological screening tests such as western blot and immunofluorescence assay. Finally, recombinant L. casei was orally fed to mice and the results were further recorded, indicating that the mice group which received OMP19 through L. casei based vaccine represented a very good general and mucosal immune responses protective against challenges with virulent B. abortus 544 strain compared with negative control recipient groups. Therefore, the vaccine produced in this research plan can be a very good candidate for protection against brucellosis.     

类蚕丝丝素结晶区蛋白表达载体的构建与表达

为探讨蚕丝结构与性能的关系,设计了几种类似蚕丝丝素结晶区高度重复序列结构(GAGAGX)n的基因序列,并构建了大肠杆菌表达载体,在BL-21菌株中成功诱导表达了4种约由110个氨基酸组成的小分子蛋白。对表达产物进行W estern印迹分析和ELISA检测的结果显示,(GAGAGA)n、(GAGAGY)n、(GAGAGV)n3种蛋白都有小于14.4 kD的大小相同的条带,而(GAGAGS)n有一条稍大于20.1 kD的条带。以超声波破菌的缓冲液作空白对照,4种蛋白的ELISA的结果均比对照的BL-21(无质粒)高,显示为阳性。     

木薯金属硫蛋白基因的克隆和表达分析

金属硫蛋白(metallothionein,MT)分子量小,半胱氨酸含量高,具有消除离子自由基,减弱重金属毒性和减少体内活性氧积累等功能。为探究木薯金属硫蛋白基因(MeMT)的原核表达能力和对活性氧的耐受性,本研究通过木薯cDNA克隆获取MeMT并将其连接至pET-28a,在BL21(DE3)菌株中成功诱导其表达。H2O2耐受性分析发现,与空载菌株相比,表达MeMT蛋白的DE3菌株对H2O2的耐受水平较高。RT-qPCR技术检测显示,在H2O2胁迫下,3 h时木薯叶片中MeMT的表达水平明显升高,但6 h时恢复甚至略低于对照组,证明MeMT在木薯中参与ROS应答过程。该结果对研究木薯抗逆性和产量的提高具有重要意义。     

金融时间序列指标判别框架：以特质波动率为例

基于拐点集合判别的TBUD方法主要思路是分析拐点集合间的关系，并在高维空间进行划分，从而搭建判别模型，并将分析框架应用在特质波动率等若干指标上，利用实证数据得到结论。应用TBUD判别框架可以发现，特质波动率等指标无法对拐点集合进行清晰划分，因而并不具有预测能力。

Construction of a lentiviral RNA interference vector targeting rat myocardin and its effect on vascular smooth muscle cell differentiation

AIM: To construct a lentiviral RNA interference(RNAi)vector targeting rat myocardin mRNA and to investigate its effect on the differentiation of vascular smooth muscle cells(VSMCs).METHODS: Three pairs of dsDNA targeting rat myocardin mRNA were designed, synthesized and cloned into lentiviral vector pGCSIL-GFP to generate pGCSIL-GFP-shMyocd lentvirus. A Flag-tagged myocardin-overexpression vector pEGFP-N1-Myocd was constructed with pEGFP-N1/X124G. After these two vectors were cotransfected into 293T cells, the flag protein was assessed by Western blotting to analyze the knockdown effect of pGCSIL-GFP-shMyocd. The expression of myocardin and SM22α was also detected by RT-PCR and Western blotting after the pGCSIL-GFP-shMyocd viruses were transfected into primary cultured rat aortal VSMCs.RESULTS: The rat myocardin lentviral RNAi vector pGCSIL-GFP-shMyocd and myocardin-overexpression vector pEGFP-N1-Myocd were successfully constructed. After these two kinds of vectors were cotransfected into 293T cells,the No.1 interfering vector displayed the highest inhibitory effect on flag expression.After the No.1 lentvirus at the titer of 1×10¹² TU/L was transfected into VSMCs, the myocardin and SM22α expression was significantly attenuated. CONCLUSION: The lentiviral pGCSIL-GFP-shMyocd RNAi vector is successfully constructed, which is useful for further study regarding the molecular mechanism of the phenotypic switching in VSMCs under special pathological conditions such as atherosclerosis. Inhibition of myocardin expression in VSMCs leads to the decrease in the expression of differentiation marker, and implies a crucial role of myocardin in VSMCs differentiation.
