Bcl-2在梅花鹿茸角中的表达

鹿茸角是哺乳动物唯一的失去后还能完全再生的器官,人们对鹿茸角再生的分子机理了解甚少。本试验以梅花鹿为研究对象,通过原位杂交方法对Bcl-2在梅花鹿茸角中的表达进行了研究。结果显示,Bcl-2在梅花鹿茸角表皮层内表达甚微,在茸角真皮层、间充质层及软骨层等处均有表达,但在表达强度上存在一定差异。在真皮层中,Bcl-2在真皮成纤维细胞中有较强的表达,在鹿茸间充质细胞中也有少量Bcl-2的表达;在鹿茸软骨层中,Bcl-2在软骨细胞中的表达量很高,主要表达在增殖区的软骨细胞中。这表明Bcl-2可能在梅花鹿茸角再生过程中起重要的调节作用。     

细胞周期蛋白D1在梅花鹿茸角中的表达

以梅花鹿为研究对象,通过原位杂交方法对细胞周期蛋白D1（cyclin D1）在梅花鹿茸角中的表达进行了研究。结果显示,cyclin D1在梅花鹿茸角表皮层内表达极少,在茸角真皮层、间充质层及软骨层等处均有表达,但在表达强度上存在差异。在真皮层中,cyclin D1在真皮成纤维细胞中有较强的表达,在鹿茸间充质细胞中也有少量cyclin D1的表达,在鹿茸软骨层中,cyclin D1在软骨细胞中的表达量非常高,主要表达在增殖区的软骨细胞中。结果表明,cyclin D1可能在梅花鹿茸角再生过程中起重要的调控作用。     

原癌基因c-fos在塔里木马鹿茸组织中表达特性的研究

为探讨原癌基因c-fos对鹿茸生长的调控作用,采用3头成年塔里木马鹿Cervus elaphus生长期为30、60d的新鲜鹿茸,剖分成茸皮层、间充质细胞层、成软骨细胞层和软骨细胞层。首先用2种免疫组化的方法进行基因表达定位,然后通过荧光定量PCR技术对不同组织基因的表达进行定量分析。免疫组化分析结果表明,该基因在茸皮的毛囊内根鞘和毛母质及皮脂腺、动脉血管的环形平滑肌处呈阳性反应;真皮乳头层与表皮基部连接的基底层呈阳性反应。在静脉血管、神经和其他附属器反应均未观察到阳性细胞。在间充质细胞层、成软骨层和软骨层2种方法均没有观察到c-fos的阳性表达细胞。定量分析发现,c-fos基因在不同生长阶段不同组织层均有表达,且在茸皮的表达量显著的高于间充质细胞层,成软骨层和软骨层(P<0.05)。在同一生长期间充质细胞层、成软骨层和软骨层c-fos的表达量很低;生长30与60d比较,c-fos在间充质细胞层和成软骨层变化不大,在茸皮层和软骨层表现为下调表达。本研究表明c-fos基因在鹿茸快速生长期参与了茸皮干细胞的增殖与分化,并对成骨细胞的分化起着调控作用。     

鹿茸角发育与再生机理

对鹿茸角发育与再生调节机理的研究进展进行了综述,并对与鹿茸角发育与再生相关的一些生理问题进行了探讨。已确认的与鹿茸角再生关系密切的重要分子有甲状旁腺激素相关肽、视黄酸、胰岛素样生长因子等,这些物质广泛分布于芽基及快速生长的鹿茸角内,可调节软骨细胞、成骨细胞及破骨细胞的分化。由于鹿茸角再生过程与生殖周期密切相关,性激素可能对这些因子在鹿茸角内的表达起调节作用

原癌基因c-myc在塔里木马鹿茸不同生长期的表达

为探讨原癌基因c-myc对鹿茸生长的调控作用,选择3头成年塔里木马鹿生长期为30、60d的新鲜鹿茸,剖分成茸皮层、间充质细胞层、成软骨细胞层和软骨细胞层。首先用2种免疫组化的方法进行基因表达定位,然后通过荧光定量PCR技术对不同组织基因表达定量进行分析。结果显示：该基因在茸皮的毛囊内根鞘、毛母质和皮脂腺呈阳性反应,在动脉血管的环形平滑肌、真皮乳头层与表皮基部连接的基底层呈阳性反应。在静脉血管、神经和其他附属器反应均呈阴性。定量分析结果表明c-myc基因在不同生长阶段不同组织层均有表达。茸皮层从生长期30～60d,c-myc表达下调,而在其他3个组织中均上调表达;同一生长期茸皮和软骨层的表达量均高于间充质细胞层和成软骨层（P〈0.05）;不同生长期30、60d组织间基因的表达没有显著的变化。研究结果表明,c-myc基因在鹿茸快速生长期参与了茸皮的增殖与分化;在软骨组织中高表达特别是生长后期,说明原癌基因c-myc对马鹿茸软骨发育及骨形成有着一定调控作用。     

半乳糖凝集素1蛋白及其生物学功能

半乳糖凝集素1(Galectin-1)是一种分子质量约为14 ku的β-糖结合蛋白,是动物凝集素家族的成员之一。作为多种癌症的诊断指标,治疗癌症的新突破口,对Galectin-1的研究备受关注。此外,Galectin-1分布广泛,与多种正常生物功能相关,如细胞生长、神经修复、血管再生、软骨形成等。现阶段,关于Galectin-1在鹿茸再生中的研究很少,但鹿茸再生中许多过程与Galectin-1的功能高度相关。与肿瘤同样高速生长且高表达Galectin-1的鹿茸组织并不发生癌变,这可能对癌症的研究有所启发。为了寻找治疗癌症的新方法,解释鹿茸再生机制,了解Galectin-1蛋白在肿瘤和鹿茸中的功能研究进展至关重要,文章就其进行了综述。     

IGF1与睾酮激素对鹿角柄发生影响的研究

鹿茸是雄性鹿的第二性征,也是哺乳动物器官中唯一能完全再生的。鹿茸是从着生于头部的被称为角柄的永久性骨桩上发生、再生和脱落的。鹿接近青春期时,雄激素逐渐升高并刺激角柄生长。如果在角柄发生前将公鹿去势,角柄将终生不能发生,但当给其施以足够的外源睾酮激素时,可以诱导它们重新生长。研究结果发现,角柄的发生除了与雄性激素有关外,还受到营养水平的调节,只有当鹿的体重达到一定阈值时,角柄才能发生。进一步研究结果发现,营养水平通过调控体内胰岛素样生长因子1(kinsulin-like growth factor l,IGF1)而调节角柄的发生。因此角柄发生不仅与雄性激素有关,也依赖于体内IGF1水平。由于鹿茸的完全再生取决于角柄,因此,对角柄发生机制的研究是对鹿茸再生研究的一个重要方面。作者针对IGF1和睾酮激素对鹿角柄发生所产生的影响进行综述,为研究角柄发生机制提供重要依据。

A PCR-based assay for discriminating Cervus and Rangifer (Cervidae) antlers with mitochondrial DNA polymorphisms

This study describes a method for discriminating Rangifer antlers from true Cervus antlers using agarose gel electrophoresis, capillary electrophoresis, quantitative real-time PCR, and allelic discrimination. Specific primers labeled with fluorescent tags were designed to amplify fragments from the mitochondrial D-loop genes for various Cervus subspecies and Rangifer tarandus differentially. A 466-bp fragment that was observed for both Cervus and Rangifer antlers served as a positive control, while a 270-bp fragment was specifically amplified only from Rangifer antlers. Allelic discrimination was used to differentiate between Cervus and Rangifer antlers, based on the amplification of specific alleles for both types of antlers. These PCR-based assays can be used for forensic and quantitative analyses of Cervus and Rangifer antlers in a single step, without having to obtain any sequence information. In addition, multiple PCR-based assays are more accurate and reproducible than a single assay for species-specific analysis and are especially useful in this study for the identification of original Cervus deer products from fraudulent Rangifer antlers.     

miRNA调控鹿茸生长发育的研究进展

鹿茸是雄性鹿科动物(除驯鹿外)特有的能够周期性再生的器官,其生长发育受到多种因素的共同调控。miRNA(microRNA)是一类在真核生物中发现的内源性的具有调控功能的非编码RNA,在基因表达调控、细胞周期、生物体发育等方面发挥着重要的调控作用。本文从miRNA的相关技术、鹿茸组织中miRNA的鉴定、miRNA对生长因子的调控作用、miRNA对鹿茸细胞增殖的作用以及miRNA对鹿茸再生调控的研究几个方面就现有miRNA对鹿茸生长发育的研究进行总结和展望,为今后鹿茸生长发育机理的诠释具有一定的意义。     

Organic and mechanical properties of Cervidae antlers: a review

There is a resurgence of interest in the study of deer antlers. Recent research advocates their potential for use in bone xenografts. Using this working hypothesis, we can formulate many questions: do antlers really present unique or interesting mechanical properties, and if so, which factors affect these properties? Many other issues, including tissue compatibility, could be discussed; however, this article will focus on the biomechanical features of antlers. This paper reviews some answers found within current published material, and could help determine the optimal selection of some antlers for further experimental studies and clinical trials. Some general elements like anatomy and histology of deer antlers are briefly summarised. This paper will attempt to define the fundamental differences between skeletal bone and antler bone in terms of their organic and mechanical properties. We will then compare the previously published data, which details the mechanical properties of antlers from different species of Cervidae, by reviewing several aspects such as: sex; geographical situation; morphology; hydration state; and mineral composition. Some findings emerge: mechanical properties do not vary with gender or latitude, and the most important determining factor appears to be the species, alongside morphology and use of antlers. The state of hydration and mineral composition also has an influence on the mechanical properties of Cervidae antlers.

Functional indispensability of fibronectin associated on the mesenchymal cell surface during the early period of feather development in the chick embryo in vitro

To clarify the role of fibronectin (FN) during the early period of feather development, reconstituted skin consisting of intact epithelium and isolated mesenchymal cells from embryonal chick skin was used. In early feather development, FN was localized around mesenchymal cells of the dermal condensation. Isolated mesenchymal cells had associated with FN on their surfaces. FN on the cell surface dissociated following EDTA treatment, and EDTA‐treated cells re‐associated with exogenous FN. The intact epithelium also bound to exogenous FN at the placode. When FN‐associated or FN‐reassociated mesenchymal cells were used, the reconstituted skin formed feather rudiments only at the positions where the epithelial placode existed originally, and the locality of tenascin transferred from the placode to the mesenchyme during the period of feather bud formation. However, in reconstituted skin using FN‐dissociated mesenchymal cells, feather rudiments did not form. Additionally, the epithelial placodes disappeared, and tenascin was distributed uniformly on the surface of the epithelium and not localized in the mesenchyme. These findings suggest that FN associated on the surfaces of mesenchymal cells maintains the functions of mesenchymal cells as dermal condensation and mediates epithelial‐mesenchymal interactions during the early period of feather development. The results also suggest that reconstituted skin is a useful tool for functional studies on the extracellular matrix.     

Adipose tissue development in the fetal pig examined using monoclonal antibodies

Two anti-adipocyte monoclonal antibodies (MAbs: AD-1 and AD-2) have been used to study the development of dorsal s.c. adipose tissue in fetuses from 50 to 110 d of gestation. Immunofluorescent staining of cryostat sections with each antibody revealed antigen-positive cells in fetal s.c. mesenchyme prior to lipid deposition. Lipid droplets as well as AD-1 and AD-2 positive cells were detected within the underlying muscle at 50 d. From 70 to 110 d of development, the AD-1 and AD-2 MAbs each detected all adipocytes examined, as well as capillaries associated with fat cell clusters in s.c. tissues. Reactivity toward both antibodies, as well as lipid deposition, also was detectable in the muscle underlying the s.c. mesenchyme from 70 d onward. Each MAb possessed a distinct pattern of reactivity. The AD-2 MAb stained arrector pili muscles and vessels in the s.c. mesenchyme and vessels in the underlying muscles, whereas the AD-1 did not. No reactivity using either MAb was detectable toward any other cell types within s.c. tissues. These results established the presence of cells expressing surface determinants found on mature adipocytes and associated capillaries prior to adipogenesis. A lineage relationship between adipocytes and capillary endothelial cells is suggested.     

梅花鹿的锯茸应激反应过程

本文通过对梅花鹿锯茸后行为的观察及锯茸前后血液生理变化的分析，证明受锯茸鹿也存在和其它动物一样的应激反应过程，表现出应激反应的三个阶段。锯茸前的拨鹿、保定及锯茸是引发鹿应激反应的应激源，受应激刺激的鹿行为上表现为喜躲避于阴凉处，运动减少，精神萎靡，采食量减少或拒食，大量出血，约经一天后才能恢复正常状态；血液生理变化为ＲＢＣ、嗜酸性细胞、血小板数量增多，血凝时间缩短，与未受锯茸刺激鹿比较差异均机显著（Ｐ＜０．０１），其它血液生理指数没有明显变化（Ｐ＞０．０５）。因鹿应激反应过程中出血较多，能量消耗较大，采食减少或拒食，故影响再生茸的尽快生长，所以鹿锯茸时应尽量减轻应激反应过程。
