Characteristics in the secretion of liver TNF-α induced by infusion of LPS into veins in goats

AIM: To study the role of liver in immune regulation in experimental endotoxemia. METHODS: 17 castrated male goats were subjected to simultaneously installing catheters in jugular, hepatic and portal veins by surgery. Four days later, lipopolysaccharide (LPS) was infused in term of three groups as followings: In group ①, LPS of 20 EU (endotoxin unit, EU)·kg^-1 was infused into portal vein; In group ②, LPS of 20 EU·kg^-1 was infused into jugular vein and LPS of 1 500 EU·kg^-1 infused into jugular vein in group ③. Before and after infusion, blood samples were collected from the three veins through the catheters for 8 h.The plasma levels of TNF-α were measured by RIA. RESULTS: In group ①, the plasma TNF-α levels of hepatic and portal vein rose to peak value at 5 h, but that of the jugular vein did not changed. In group ②, the plasma TNF-α levels in hepatic vein rose to peak value at 3 h. The TNF-α levels of jugular vein rose to peak value at 1 h and the one in portal vein enhanced continuously between 0-8 h. In group ③, the plasma TNF-α levels in jugular, hepatic and portal vein rose to significant peaks at 1 h simultaneously. CONCLUSION: During experimental endotoxemia,liver showed different dynamic characteristics in TNF-α secretion according to the pathway and doses of LPS delivery.

Osmolarity,cell volume and proliferation in nasopharyngeal carcinoma cells

AIM: To investigate the relationship between osmolarity, cell volume and cell proliferation in nasopharyngeal carcinoma cells. METHODS: MTT method was applied to detect the proliferation ability of the poorly-differentiated nasopharyngeal carcinoma cell (CNE-2Z) under various osmolarity conditions. The flow cytometry was used to analyse cell cycle distribution. Cell volume was obtained by the image analysis of living cells and cell viability was determined by the trypan blue assay. RESULTS: Cultivation of cells under the hypertonic conditions of 370 and 440 mOsmol/L increased cell volume by 8.7% and 27.8% and facilitated cell proliferation by 22.2% and 33.9%, respectively. However, hypotonic incubation of cells with osmolarity of 160 and 230 mOsmol/L decreased cell volume by 12.8% and 4.1% and inhibited cell proliferation by 34.0% and 15.6%, respectively. Cell volume was positively correlated with cell proliferation rate. Long-term cultivation of cells under anisotonic conditions did not significantly alter cell cycle distribution, but hypotonic cultivation decreased cell viability. CONCLUSION: Proliferation of nasopharyngeal carcinoma cells was closely correlated with the osmolarity of culture medium and cell volume. Hypotonic cultivation may inhibit cell proliferation by decreasing cell volume to facilitate cell death mechanisms.     

反刍动物瘤胃酸中毒发病机制及其研究进展

急性和慢性瘤胃酸中毒是限制反刍动物高精料饲养的关健问题,给反刍动物养殖业造成了巨大的经济损失。本文从瘤胃微生物的角度阐述了防治酸中毒的最新研究进展,包括2个方面,一方面促进乳酸的利用,如添加电子受体、乳酸利用菌以及酵母和曲霉等真菌;另一方面减少乳酸的产生,如给反刍动物接种牛链球菌和乳酸菌疫苗。通过调控乳酸利用菌群和乳酸产生菌群之间的平衡,控制乳酸的利用和产生,从而阻止瘤胃酸中毒的发生,从根本上解决问题。     

苓桂术甘汤对肉鸡腹水综合征的防治作用

将15日龄艾维茵肉鸡分成5组,一组在常温(21±1)℃下饲养,作为正常对照组(N);其余4组在低温(11±1)℃下饲养以诱发腹水综合征,其中模型对照组(C)不给任何药物,维生素组(V)饮水中添加VC(0.5 g/L)和VE(0.1 g/L),2个试验组(T1和T2)分别给予不同剂量(0.4和0.8 mL/kg bw)的苓桂术甘汤。结果显示,C组的腹水发病率、腹水心脏指数(AHI)、红细胞压积(PCV)、红细胞数、血红蛋白(Hb)及丙二醛(MDA)含量、血清α-羟丁酸脱氢酶(-αHBDH)、谷草转氨酶(GOT)和谷丙转氨酶(GPT)均显著高于N组;而3种抗氧化酶[超氧化物歧化酶(SOD)、过氧化氢酶(CAT)和谷胱甘肽过氧化物酶(GSH-Px)]的活性则显著降低;2个试验组及V组的上述检测指数都得到明显改善,表明苓桂术甘汤能增强肉鸡的抗氧化能力,具有防治肉鸡腹水综合征的作用。

断奶前补饲不同直/支链淀粉比开食料对羔羊瘤胃上皮发育的影响

为了研究断奶前补饲不同直/支链淀粉比开食料对羔羊瘤胃上皮发育的影响,选取24只体况良好、胎次一致、体重相近的10日龄羔羊(湖羊),将其随机分为3组,在饲喂相同母乳的基础上,分别补饲以纯木薯(CS)、玉米(MS)和豌豆淀粉(PS)(直/支链淀粉比分别约为0.11,0.27和0.44)为唯一淀粉来源的开食料。试验期间,每天4:00-19:00将羔羊抱入补饲栏补饲不同直/支链淀粉比的开食料,并且在6:30, 10:30和15:30将羔羊抱回母羊舍哺乳1 h。羔羊自由饮水,单栏饲喂,自由采食燕麦干草。56日龄时屠宰采样,采集瘤胃组织样品制作石蜡切片进行瘤胃乳头形态测定,采集瘤胃上皮样品提取RNA测定相关基因表达。结果表明:CS组羔羊瘤胃乳头长度和表面积显著(P<0.001)高于MS和PS组,CS和MS组羔羊瘤胃乳头宽度显著(P=0.001)高于PS组。对瘤胃上皮各层厚度统计显示,CS和PS组羔羊瘤胃上皮角质层厚度显著(P=0.001)高于MS组;CS和MS组羔羊瘤胃上皮颗粒层厚度显著高于(P<0.001)PS组;CS组羔羊瘤胃上皮棘基层厚度和总厚度显著(P<0.001)高于MS和PS组。qRT-PCR结果显示:不同直/支链淀粉比开食料显著影响羔羊瘤胃上皮CDK2和CDK6的mRNA表达量(CS>MS>PS, P<0.001);CS组羔羊瘤胃上皮细胞cyclin A和CDK4的mRNA表达量显著(P<0.05)高于PS组,但与MS组无显著差异;CS组羔羊瘤胃上皮cyclin D1的mRNA表达量显著(P=0.012)低于PS组,但与MS组无显著差异。CS组羔羊瘤胃上皮类胰岛素生长因子-1(insulin like growth factor,IGF-1)的mRNA表达量显著(P<0.001)高于MS和PS组,CS和MS组羔羊瘤胃上皮IGF-1R的mRNA表达量显著(P=0.001)高于PS组。上述结果表明:较高支链淀粉比开食料与较高直链淀粉比开食料相比,在瘤胃中较易降解生成挥发性脂肪酸,促进瘤胃上皮IGF-1及细胞周期蛋白mRNA的表达,进而有利于断奶前羔羊瘤胃上皮的发育。研究结果对制订羔羊营养方案具有重要指导意义。     

人工改造野生大豆GsDREB2基因对植物耐盐和耐渗透胁迫能力的影响

DREB (dehydration responsive element binding protein)转录因子是一个干旱应答元件的结合蛋白,它能特异结合启动子中含有DRE/CRT顺式元件,激活逆境诱导基因的表达,调控植物对干旱、低温、高盐、高温等胁迫的耐逆性。大量研究表明DREB转录因子在信号传导、作用机理及基因表达方面存在复杂性。为了野生大豆来源GsDREB2基因能更有效地发挥功能,人工突变该基因的负向调节结构域(negative regulatory domain, NRD,140~204),经改造命名为GsDREB2-mNRD。在酵母中比较全长基因(FLDREB2)和GsDREB2-mNRD转录激活和与DRE元件结合的能力,并验证GsDREB2-mNRD核定位情况。分别将FLDREB2和GsDREB2-mNRD转化拟南芥,通过拟南芥幼苗期盐胁迫和渗透胁迫试验,比较GsDREB2-mNRD和FLDREB2在提高植物耐盐和渗透胁迫方面的差异。结果表明,GsDREB2基因内部存在着负向调节结构域(NRD),抑制了GsDREB2转录激活功能和DRE元件结合的特性;经改造的GsDREB2基因依然能定位在细胞核;超量表达GsDREB2-mNRD基因的拟南芥耐盐和渗透胁迫能力明显强于非转基因对照,也高于FLDREB2基因超表达的拟南芥;野生大豆来源的GsDREB2基因NRD结构域的缺失可增强该基因在植物耐盐、渗透胁迫等逆境胁迫下的功能。     

Identification of Suspected Stem/progenitor Cells in Bovine Mammary Epithelial Cells Culture System

To develop the potential function of dairy cow mammary stem cells (DCMECs) in regulation of lactation,we identify putative DCMECs which were BrdU label retaining epithelial cells,at the same time,analysis the location of two new mammary stem cells molecular marks FNDC3B and PROCR to verify the feasibility of them to indicate DCMECs.The mRNA levels of prolactin,growth hormone,insulin-like growth factor-1 and their receptors were detected along with cell passage by Real-time quantitative PCR.The results showed that the proportion of BrdU label-retaining epithelial cells was nearly 0.4% after 25 d continuous culture (passaged 4 times) and few cells were positive for FNDC3B or PROCR.Moreover,we observed the BrdU labelled epithelial cells by asymmetric division.The mRNA levels of prolactin,growth hormone,insulin-like growth factor-Ⅰ and their receptors in primary and passage cells were extremely significant difference(P<0.01).DCMECs would rapidly lose some physiological characteristics and the ability of milk synthesis when not under the condition of induction of lactation differentiation,but a certain percentage of mammary stem/progenitor cells will be retained,whose potential effects on the regulation of lactation and mammary acinar remodeling were worthy of attention.
