猪瘟病毒E2基因的克隆及分子特性分析

为研究四川地区猪瘟病毒（classical swine fever virus,CSFV）及E2基因的遗传变异情况,试验对CSFV阳性病料抽提RNA,通过RT-PCR扩增CSFV E2基因并将其克隆到pMD18-T载体,经菌落PCR、双酶切、序列测定后利用生物信息学软件分析了E2基因的分子特性。结果显示,扩增的E2基因大小为1 125 bp,编码375个氨基酸,与GenBank中CSFV GXWZ02、CSFV/2.1、HEBZ、YC11WB、SXYL2006、0406/CH/01/TWN亲缘关系较近,核苷酸同源性分别为98.3%、96.5%、94.7%、92.4%、92.1%和90.9%,而与疫苗株HCLV E2的同源性较低,为87.6%。密码子偏向性分析显示,E2基因的ENc值为53.161,密码子使用频率与大肠杆菌、酵母菌和人差异较大的分别有33、25和25个;此外,E2基因共有34个稀有密码子,且有多个稀有密码子多次串联成簇的情况出现。结果表明,E2基因在密码子使用中整体上不存在较明显的偏向性,且密码子使用模式更接近真核生物,本试验克隆的E2基因与疫苗株相比,部分核苷酸出现了变异,但主要抗原域氨基酸未发生改变,该结果为进一步开展CSFV E2功能研究及后期基因工程苗的研制提供了基础数据。     

猪妊娠过程中胎盘发育及其调控基因研究进展

胎盘是母体与胎儿进行营养物质、气体及废弃物交换的重要器官。妊娠过程中,猪胎盘功能是影响母猪产仔数、死胎数及断奶前死亡率的最重要因素之一。作者介绍了猪妊娠早期胎盘的建立过程及形态变化、妊娠中期胎盘褶皱的形成、妊娠后期胎盘的进一步发育,阐述了这3个妊娠阶段猪胎盘的形态变化与其对应的胎盘功能之间的关系,并介绍了目前所发现的调控猪胎盘建立和发育的相关基因,包括透明质酸酶（HYAL）、组织蛋白酶（CTSB和CTSL1）及乙酰肝素酶（HPSE）基因,为提高母猪胎盘效率、增加母猪繁殖力提供科学依据。     

2016-2017年江西地区猪繁殖与呼吸综合征病毒分子流行病学调查及ORF5基因变异分析

为了解近年来江西地区猪繁殖与呼吸综合征病毒（porcine reproductive and respiratory syndrome virus,PRRSV）分子流行病学和其遗传变异情况,本次调查于2016-2017年从江西省各地区规模化猪场采集453份疑似猪繁殖与呼吸综合征（PRRS）的病料,采用RT-PCR方法对所有病料进行检测。结果发现,其中321份病料为PRRSV阳性,阳性率为70.86%,各地区的阳性率在19.15%~84.85%之间。挑选14份阳性样品测序后,经ORF5基因序列分析,江西地区各PRRSV毒株ORF5基因的核苷酸同源性为83%~100%,PRRSV流行毒株与参考毒株的同源性在59.9%~98.5%之间。基于ORF5基因的进化树分析表明,14个测序毒株均为美洲型毒株,其中有4株为基因亚型Ⅰ,即高致病性毒株（HP-PRRSV）;3株为基因亚型Ⅱ,即经典毒株;3株为基因亚型Ⅲ,即NADC30-like毒株;4株为新出现的基因亚型Ⅳ。氨基酸序列比对分析表明,基因亚型Ⅰ、Ⅱ、Ⅲ和Ⅳ毒株ORF5基因编码的GP5蛋白氨基酸在3个表位及2个重要的抗原相关区域存在较大变异,其中以NADC30毒株为代表的基因亚型Ⅲ毒株和以GD1404毒株为代表的基因亚型Ⅳ毒株均表现出独有的氨基酸变异,这些变异可能会影响GP5蛋白的免疫原性。本次调查结果表明,2016-2017年江西地区PRRSV流行出现了新形势,美洲型毒株出现了多基因亚型共同存在的局面,以高致病性毒株（HP-PRRSV）为主,NADC30-like毒株和新基因亚型等新毒株的比例较高,同时还存在经典毒株;持续实时监测PRRSV的毒株流行和变异情况,可为临床诊断、药物和疫苗开发及PRRS的科学防控提供依据。     

互花米草入侵对滨海湿地重金属的富集迁移效应

为探究互花米草（Spartina alterniflora）入侵对滨海湿地沉积物重金属的富集迁移效应,为滨海湿地生态保护与合理利用提供依据,在山东省日照市黄家塘湾滨海湿地选取不同互花米草入侵年限的斑块,以5 cm为间隔采集0～30 cm沉积物样品和互花米草样品,分析沉积物和互花米草不同部位中重金属元素Cu、Zn、Pb和Cd的含量,并采用地累积指数法、潜在生态风险评价法、生物富集系数及转运系数等方法进行评价。结果表明：湿地沉积物重金属Cu、Zn、Pb和Cd 的含量范围为5.94～31.94 mg(kg^-1,18.59～56.87 mg(kg^-1,4.76～30.36 mg(kg^-1,0.021～0.083 mg(kg^-1,整体低于研究区域重金属环境背景值;但Cu、Pb在0～15 cm内存在轻度污染;与光滩湿地相比,互花米草入侵湿地沉积物中重金属含量增加,且随互花米草入侵年限增加,沉积物重金属含量呈增加趋势,在上层（0～15 cm）表现尤为显著;互花米草不同部位对重金属的累积存在一定差异,大致表现根>叶>茎;不同重金属在根部的富集效应表现为Cd > Zn > Cu > Pb,互花米草对重金属转运效应为Pb > Zn > Cu > Cd。相关分析表明,沉积物中重金属的累积与互花米草入侵对湿地沉积物粒度组成、有机质含量及pH的改变密切相关。不同重金属在沉积物-植物体系的迁移转运差异则主要与互花米草各部位对重金属元素的吸收差异有关。

Promoting angiogenesis of protein kinase D1 in vitro and in vivo

AIM: To explore the effect of protein kinase D1 (PKD1) on promoting angiogenesis in vitro and in vivo, and to furnish a new idea on targeting PKD1 for the treatment of ischemic heart disease such as myocardial infarction. METHODS: The culture, isolation and identification of endothelial progenitor cells (EPCs) were performed in vitro. The effects of PKD1 and its specific blocking agent CID755673 on expression levels of vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) and kinase insert domain receptor (KDR) in EPCs were determined. The rat model of myocardial infarction was established, the intervention effects of PKD1 and CID755673 on morphology, changes of microvessels and endothelial cells, and the expression of VEGF and KDR in the impaired myocardial tissue were analyzed. RESULTS: PKD1 significantly upregulated the expression of VEGF and KDR in EPCs in vitro. Meanwhile, the structure of myocardial tissue was more regular and clear, the cytomembrane of endothelial cells were more smooth and integrity, the pericytes were visible, and the expression of VEGF and KDR was significantly increased in PKD1 treatment group in vivo.CONCLUSION: PKD1 has the ability of angiogenesis obviously, which might be mediated by VEGF.     

Effects of Xinkang recipe on myocardial miR-25-3p expression and SERCA2a activity in heart failure rats

AIM: To investigate the effects of Xinkang recipe on myocardial miR-25-3p expression and sarcoplasmic reticulum calcium ATPase 2a (SERCA2a) activity in heart failure rats. METHODS: Male SD rats were randomly divided into normal group, sham group, model group, Xinkang recipe group (Xinkang group), and captopril group. The heart failure rat model was induced by intraperitoneal injection of doxorubicin. Distilled water, Xinkang recipe and captopril were administrated by gastric gavage for 35 d, respectively. The indexes of cardiac function and plasma level of brain natriuretic peptide (BNP) were measured. The SERCA2a activity was determined by the inorganic phosphorus method. The myocardial protein expression of SERCA2a and phospholamban (PLB) was detected by Western blot. The myocardial expression of miR-25-3p was detected by stem-loop RT-qPCR. RESULTS: Cardiac output (CO), left ventricular fractional shortening (LVFS) and left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF) in Xinkang group and captopril group were significantly higher while the plasma levels of BNP were significantly lower than those in model group (P<0.01). The myocardial expression levels of miR-25-3p in Xinkang group and captopril group were significantly lower while the myocardial protein le-vels of SERCA2a and PLB were significantly higher than those in model group (P<0.01). The SERCA2a/PLB ratio and SERCA2a activity in Xinkang group were significantly higher than those in model group (P<0.05), and no significant change was observed between captopril group and model group. CONCLUSION: Xinkang recipe therapy may improve cardiac function in heart failure rats, which may be related to inhibiting the expression of miR-25-3p, increasing the SERCA2a/PLB ratio and enhancing SERCA2a activity in the myocardium.
