Effects of exosomes derived from hypoxia-preconditioned umbilical cord mesenchymal stem cells on function of endothelial cells

AIM To investigate the effect of exosomes derived from hypoxia-preconditioned human umbilical cord mesenchymal stem cells (hUCMSCs) on proliferation, migration and tube formation of human umbilical vein endothelial cells (HUVECs). METHODS hUCMSCs and HUVECs were isolated, cultured and identified. Exosomes derived from hUCMSCs were extracted by ultracentrifugation. The morphological change of exosomes was observed under transmission electron microscope. The particle size and concentration of exosomes were detected by nanoparticle tracking analysis, and the surface specific marker proteins of exosomes were determined by Western blot. hUCMSCs were divided into normoxia group and hypoxia group. The viability of hUCMSCs was measured by CCK-8 assay. HUVECs were divided into control group, normoxic exosome group and hypoxic exosome group. The proliferation of HUVECs was detected by EdU assay. The migration ability was detected by cell scratch assay and Transwell experiment. Tube formation ability was evaluated by tube formation experiment. RESULTS Compared with normoxia group, hypoxia pretreatment enhanced the viability and exosome release of hUCMSCs. Compared with normoxic exosome group, hypoxic exosomes enhanced the proliferation, migration and tube formation of HUVECs. CONCLUSION Exosomes derived from hUCMSCs under hypoxia enhances the proliferation, migration and tube formation of HUVECs.

为了研究植物甾醇对断奶仔猪生产性能和血清胆固醇等血液生化指标的影响,试验选用28日龄杜长大断奶仔猪90头作为试验动物,随机分为3组,每组3个重复,每个重复10头,分别饲喂基础日粮（空白对照组）与在基础日粮中分别添加40 mg/kg（试验组1）和60mg/kg植物甾醇（试验组2）的试验日粮。试验分三期进行,共34 d。试验结果表明,与对照组相比,植物甾醇试验组降低了断奶仔猪的料肉比（P〉0.05）;试验组1血清总胆固醇（TC）和低密度脂蛋白胆固醇（LDL-C）水平显著降低（P〈0.05）;两试验组组均可显著提高血清总蛋白（TP）含量（P〈0.05）,并对超氧化物歧化酶（SOD）的活性有一定程度的提高作用（P〉0.05）。因此,日粮中添加植物甾醇可以提高断奶仔猪的生产性能,并显著降低其血液胆固醇水平。

利用微滴数字PCR技术分析转基因大豆‘GE-J12’中外源基因的拷贝数

为鉴定抗除草剂转基因大豆新品种‘GE-J12’的外源基因插入拷贝数,以该转化体的外源插入目的基因G2-EPSPS和GAT的序列、3′转化体特异性序列为靶序列,设计PCR扩增引物和TaqMan探针,并对引物探针特异性进行鉴定,同时以大豆内标基因Lectin为参照,建立微滴数字PCR拷贝数检测体系。特异性试验结果显示,只有以抗除草剂转基因大豆‘GE-J12’基因组DNA为模板才有扩增信号。以单株转基因大豆‘GE-J12’基因组DNA为模板,进行外源目的基因G2-EPSPS和GAT、3′转化体特异性序列的微滴数字PCR检测,转基因大豆‘GE-J12’的外源目的基因G2-EPSPS和GAT在基因组上的插入拷贝数均值分别为0.99和1.01。同时3′转化体特异性序列的拷贝数均值为1.00,验证单株转基因大豆‘GE-J12’为纯合子,因此鉴定该单株转基因大豆‘GE-J12’的外源基因在大豆基因组上为单拷贝插入,同时与Southern blot方法进行比较,结果一致。

The 16MΔvjbR as an ideal live attenuated vaccine candidate for differentiation between Brucella vaccination and infection

Brucellosis brings great economic burdens for developing countries. Live attenuated vaccines are the most efficient means for prevention and control of animal Brucellosis. However, the difficulties of differentiating of infection from vaccine immunization, which is essential for eradication programs, limit their applications. Therefore, the development of a vaccine that could differentiate infection from immunization will overcome the limitations and get extensive application. VjbR is a quorum sensing regulator involving in Brucella's intracellular survival. The vjbR∷Tn5 mutants have been proven effective against wild type strain challenge, implying its possibility of use in vaccine candidate development. To further evaluate this candidate gene, in the present study, the antigenicity of purified recombinant VjbR protein was analyzed. Antibodies to Brucella melitensis VjbR could be detected in sera from patients and animals with brucellosis but not in control ones, implying the potential use of this protein as a diagnostic antigen. Then a vjbR mutant of B. melitensis 16M was constructed by replacing the vjbR with kanamycin gene. The mutant showed reduced survival in macrophage and mice. Vaccination of BALB/c mice with 16MΔvjbR conferred significant protective immunity against B. melitensis strain 16M challenges, being equivalent to which induced by the license vaccine Rev.1. The vjbR deletion mutant elicited an anti-Brucella-specific immunoglobulin G response and induced the secretion of gamma interferon and interleukin-10. The most importance is that, the use of vjbR mutants as vaccines in association with diagnostic tests based on the VjbR antigen would allow the serological differentiation between infected and vaccinated animals. These results suggest that 16MΔvjbR is an ideal live attenuated vaccine candidate against B. melitensis and deserves further evaluation for vaccine development.
