日本百脉根LjbHLH34基因克隆及耐旱功能鉴定

干旱是影响植物生长发育的重要环境因素。本研究分析了日本百脉根抗旱相关基因LjbHLH34的耐旱功能,初步解析其响应干旱胁迫的分子机制,以期为百脉根抗旱分子育种提供理论基础。本研究克隆得到的LjbHLH34基因大小为711 bp、编码236个氨基酸,属bHLH转录因子家族成员。系统进化树分析显示,LjbHLH34蛋白与拟南芥bHLHⅣ亚家族中AtbHLH34和AtbHLH104亲缘关系较近。实时荧光定量分析表明LjbHLH34在日本百脉根的根中表达量最高,叶中次之,茎中最少,暗示其在日本百脉根多个组织中发挥作用;同时LjbHLH34基因也受聚乙二醇(PEG)和脱落酸(ABA)诱导表达。在酵母中检测发现LjbHLH34具有转录激活活性;亚细胞定位试验表明LjbHLH34蛋白定位于细胞核中。将LjbHLH34基因转入拟南芥获得过表达株系。在200 mmol·L^-1甘露醇胁迫下,LjbHLH34转基因拟南芥的根长明显长于野生型。干旱处理后,野生型拟南芥比转基因拟南芥萎蔫程度更加明显,而转基因株系的相对含水量和超氧化物歧化酶(SOD)活性显著高于野生型,丙二醛(MDA)积累...

Effects of porcine reproductive and respiratory syndrome virus (isolate tw91) on porcine alveolar macrophages in vitro

To verify the role of porcine reproductive and respiratory syndrome virus (PRRSV) infection on pulmonary defense mechanisms, alterations in the viability, morphology, and various functions of porcine alveolar macrophages (AMs) were evaluated in vitro for 2-72 h after exposure to a Taiwan isolate, tw91, at a multiplicity of infection (MOI) of 0.1. A low but constant rate of infection, around 5%, was seen in AMs from the PRRSV-infected group throughout the study. When compared with a mock-infected group, AMs from the PRRSV-infected group had a significantly lower viability at 18-72 h post-infection (HPI) as determined by trypan blue dye exclusion. Also during this time period, the cells showed morphological changes, including rounding, bleb formation, and rupture. The phagocytic and microbicidal capacity of AMs against Candida albicans was significantly inhibited after 6 HPI. Although the total amount of superoxide anion (O2-) and hydrogen peroxide (H2O2) produced by the AMs was reduced after 18 and 12 HPI, respectively, the amount of production was enhanced in both reactive oxygen species on a per viable cell basis after 12 HPI. In contrast, the level of bioactive tumor necrosis factor alpha (TNF-alpha) secretion, either total or on a per viable cell basis, was markedly reduced soon after PRRSV infection, up to 36 HPI, followed by a rebound thereafter. Prostaglandin E2 (PGE2) production was enhanced, both in total and on a per viable cell basis, in the first 6 h of infection, especially at 2 HPI. However, it became lower than that of the control after 36 HPI. The results indicated that PRRSV infection could cause, directly and/or indirectly, not only death of AMs but also adverse alterations in their morphology and function, although some of the effects seemed to be reversible. Because AMs are crucial to the host against airborne pathogens, PRRSV infection may potentially predispose pigs to secondary pulmonary infections.     

溶菌酶对肉鸡食糜微生物数量、免疫及生产性能的影响

本试验旨在探讨溶菌酶对肉鸡生产性能的影响并简要探讨其作用机制,通过与抗生素作比较,选择食糜微生物数量、免疫机能及生长性能作为评价指标。选择144只1日龄艾维茵肉仔鸡随机分为对照组、抗生素组及2个剂量溶菌酶组(基础日粮分别添加150g/t和300g/t溶菌酶),每组6个重复,每个重复6只鸡。试验鸡只饲喂玉米-豆粕型粉料,地面平养。试验结果表明:与对照组相比,饲料中添加溶菌酶降低了食糜中有害微生物(梭菌和大肠杆菌类)数量(P0.05);降低了肉鸡免疫器官指数、鸡新城疫抗体水平、IL-1β mRNA和TNF-α mRNA的表达丰度;溶菌酶对肉鸡平均日采食量无显著影响(P0.05),极显著提高了整个试验阶段肉鸡平均日增重,降低了料重比(P0.01);溶菌酶组与抗生素组在平均日采食量、日增重及料重比方面无显著性差异(P0.05)。综合各指标表明,溶菌酶具有类似抗生素的抗菌促生长作用,每吨饲料添加150g溶菌酶呈现出抗菌促生长作用。

Detection and characterization of avian leukosis virus in Marek's disease vaccines

Avian leukosis virus (ALV) infection in chickens is known to induce increased mortality, tumors, delayed growth, and suboptimal egg production. Countries importing specified pathogen-free eggs, vaccines, and poultry breeding stock require freedom of infection or contamination with ALV in such products among other avian pathogens. Recently, ALV was found as a contaminant in a limited number of commercial poultry vaccines, even after routine quality assurance procedures cleared the vaccines for commercialization. The contaminated vaccines were promptly withdrawn from the market, and no direct detrimental effects were reported in poultry vaccinated with such vaccines. We describe herein the characterization in vitro of the contaminant viruses. All exogenous viruses detected in four vaccine lots belong to subgroup A of ALV based on cell receptor interaction, subgroup-specific polymerase chain reaction (PCR), envelope gene sequencing, and virus neutralization. A combination of thermal treatment and serial dilutions of the contaminated vaccines facilitated detection of contaminating ALVs in cell culture coupled with antigen-capture enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay. Subgroup-specific PCR readily detected ALV-A directly in the contaminated vaccines but not in naive vaccines or cell controls. Our methods are proposed as complementary procedures to the currently required complement fixation for avian leukosis test for detection of ALV in commercial poultry vaccines.
