Involvement of Sirt1 in mouse myocardial hypertrophy induced by isorenin

AIM: To investigate the expression and function of sirtuin 1 (Sirt1), one of the class III histone deacetylases, in hypertrophied mouse myocardium induced by isorenin (ISO). METHODS: The Kunming mice were randomly divided into 3 groups: control group, ISO group and ISO+nicotinamide (NAM) group. The myocardial hypertrophy was induced by dorsal subcutaneous injection of isorenin. Nicotinamide, an inhibitor against Sirt1, was given by peritoneal injection. Heart weight index (heart weight/body weight), hematoxylin and eosin staining, transmission electron microscope and mRNA expression of brain natriuretic peptide (BNP) were observed to identify the myocardial hypertrophy. The expression of Sirt1 in mRNA and protein levels was detected by RT-PCR and Western blotting, respectively. RESULTS: Compared to control group, the results of heart weight index, hematoxylin and eosin staining, the observation of transmission electron microscopy and mRNA expression of BNP showed that the mouse myocardial hypertrophy was induced by isorenin successfully. The Sirt1 expression was increased in hypertrophy model group (P<0.01 vs control group). Treatment with nicotinamide inhibited the cardiac hypertrophy induced by ISO (P<0.05 vs ISO group) and decreased the expression of Sirt1 (P<0.01 vs ISO group). CONCLUSION: Activation of Sirt1 might be involved in the process of myocardial hypertrophy stimulated by isorenin in mice.     

甘肃不同地区油松针叶氨基酸成分分析研究

油松（Pinus tabulaeformis Carr．）是近年来引入干旱地区的主要造林树种,目前甘肃省已建立万亩油松苗育基地,进行大面积示范推广,主要分布于陇东、陇南、天水等地区。油松的饲用价值和药用价值是针叶,针叶富含多种营养成分,可制成松针精油、松针软膏、松针粉、抗癌扶正冲剂、松针饮料等产品,特别是以石油醚脱脂后的松针用乙醇提取混合氨基酸,作为饲料添加剂,可以促进动物生长,增强抗病能力。但其地域不同,营养成分含量也不尽相同。     

Mapping B-cell linear epitopes of NS3 protein of bovine viral diarrhea virus

Bovine viral diarrhea virus (BVDV) is a member of the genus Pestivirus within the family Flaviviridae. NS3 is one of the immunodominance regions of the BVDV viral proteins. To identify the potential B-cell linear antigenic epitopes within BVDV NS3 region, serial overlapping truncations covering the whole region were expressed and purified, and screened by multistep of Western-blot. We found (₁VCKKITEHERCHVNI₁₅), (₂₀AFFGVMPRGTTPRAPVR₃₆), (₄₆RRGLETGWAYTHQGGI₆₁), (₂₈₁EGDMATGITYASYGYFC₂₉₇), (₄₂₆YSGEDPANLRVVTSQSPYVVVATNAIESGV₄₅₅) and (₄₈₁FIVTGLKRMAVTVGEQA₄₉₇) can be recognized by the BVDV infected bovine serum. These proteins have been confirmed by indirect enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (I-ELISA). The results of this study might open new perspectives on the structure and antibody–antigen reaction of the non-structural proteins and may aid in the clinical application as well.

Thr-Ser-Ser位点对猪BCL10募集功能的影响

在完整克隆出猪BCL10基因的基础上,用大引物PCR法构建3个真核表达载体：pEGFP-B（完整猪BCL10）载体、pEGFP-D（缺失CARD结构域）载体和pEGFP-P（缺失Thr-Ser-Ser位点）载体,转染猪血管内皮细胞（SU-VEC）,观察其表达情况,以此研究Thr-Ser-Ser位点（富含TS区）对猪BCL10募集功能的影响。结果显示,pEGFP-B仅在胞质中表达,并呈短棒状,而pEGFP-D与pEGFP-P则在胞质和核内均有表达。表明CARD结构域参与猪BCL10募集过程,且Thr-Ser-Ser为CARD结构域中关键氨基酸位点,这为进一步研究猪BCL10功能和作用机制奠定了基础。     

屠宰前禁食对肉猪的影响

作者探讨生长猪屠宰前禁食对肉猪潜在的影响。被禁食的猪活体体重及其屠宰胴体重量均有所减少,也可能引发胃溃疡。屠宰前中止饲喂,对肉食品安全是有益的,能够改善肉质终点pH、持水力和肉色;降低肉质肌糖原含量。生长猪的基因型、抗应激性能和动物所处的环境,均能够影响肉猪生产性能。

氨基葡萄糖调控仔猪初生重和均匀度的应用及机理

养猪生产中产（活）仔数和胎儿初生重是影响母猪繁殖生产效率的主要因素,但产仔数和初生重呈负相关关系,近年来母猪繁殖生产的研究重点之一便是如何提高仔猪初生重并降低初生重变异。氨基葡萄糖是一种饲料原料,其制作原料广泛存在于自然界中,近期研究发现氨基葡萄糖应用于母猪妊娠后期可调控仔猪的胎盘发育和初生重。文章介绍了近年来有关氨基酸和蛋白质、能量、功能性添加剂在调控仔猪初生重和均匀度中的应用及其效果,简述了氨基葡萄糖的性质、来源及合成方法,重点阐述了母猪妊娠后期使用氨基葡萄糖在维持胎儿果糖浓度稳定、促进母猪胎盘发育和改善胎盘功能等方面的效果,分析了氨基葡萄糖通过促进胎盘基质和胎褶双分子层发育、刺激胎盘滋养层细胞增殖、增强胎盘功能等途径调控胎盘发育、仔猪初生重和均匀度可能的机理;提出了氨基葡萄糖在调控仔猪初生重和均匀度方面未来的研究方向,以期为在生产实践中调控仔猪初生重和均匀度提供理论参考和实践依据。     

Regulation of fibroblast growth factor 9 on the differentiation of goat intramuscular adipocytes

It has been found that fibroblast growth factor receptor (FGF-FGFR) signaling can regulate the expression of adipocyte differentiation genes. FGF9 is one of the members of FGFs that mainly binds receptors FGFR2 and FGFR3. FGF9 is highly expressed in the adipose tissue of humans and mice, but there are few reports on the role of FGF9 in goat intramuscular adipocyte differentiation. Therefore, this study explored the effect of FGF9 on adipocyte differentiation through cell culture, interference, and overexpression. The expression of receptors FGFR1–FGFR4 in adipocyte differentiation and their effects on differentiation were detected to screen receptor gene of FGF9. Finally, the interaction between FGF9 and the receptor was tested by cotransfection. Our results showed that FGF9 interacts with FGFR2 to inhibit goat intramuscular adipocyte differentiation by regulating peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor gamma (PPARγ) and preadipocyte factor 1 (Pref1), which is a data support for subsequent pathway research.
