Effect of ovariectomy on biological characteristics of MSCs from SD rats

AIM: To investigate the effects of ovariectomy on the biological characteristics of the mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) derived from the osteoporotic (OP) SD rats and normal rats by comparing the morphology, growth curve and cell cycle. METHODS: Female SD rats of 10-month old were randomly divided into model group and sham operation group (10 rats in each group). The osteoporotic model was established by ovariectomy. Twelve weeks after ovariectomy, the MSCs were isolated from normal and OP rats, and purified by differential time adherent method. The morphological difference of the MSCs between normal and OP rats was observed under inverted phase contrast microscope, transmission electronic microscope (TEM) and scanning electronic microscope (SEM). The growth curves of the MSCs were detected by MTT method. The cell cycles of the MSCs were determined by flow cytometry. RESULTS: Compared to the MSCs from normal rats, the morphology of the MSCs form OP rats became wider and flatter, the cell organelles were decreased and the cell viability was descended. The differentiation of the MSCs from OP rats into adipocytes appeared and the cell multiplication capacity was declined. CONCLUSION: The cell morphology of the MSCs derived from rats with ovariectomy changes obviously and the cell multiplication capacity is decreased.     

Effect of benefiting-bone Capsule on IL-6 mRNA and protein expression in rat osteoblasts in vitro

AIM: The effects of benefiting-bone Capsule (BBC) containing serum on IL-6 mRNA and protein expression in osteoblasts were studied.METHODS: (1) The neonate Sprague-dawley rat osteoblasts were cultured and divided into three groups: group Ⅰ (containing deactivating serum with BBC), group Ⅱ (containing deactivating serum without BBC) and group Ⅲ (DMEM medium group)； (2) RT-PCR was used to measure the relative IL-6 mRNA levels； (3) The radioimmunoassay method was used to examine IL-6 protein in the supernatant of the cultured osteoblasts. RESULTS: (1) The relative IL-6 mRNA levels was lower in group I than the control (P<0.05); (2) The IL-6 protein expression in osteoblasts was also lower in group I than the control (P<0.05).CONCLUSIONS: These results suggest BBC drug-containing serum can down-regulate the expression of IL-6 mRNA and protein in osteoblasts, which may be one of the mechanisms of BBC preventing and treating osteoporosis.     

Isolation,Identification and Biological Characteristics of Staphylococcus chromogenes from Tibetan Pigs

In order to understand the infection of Staphylococcus disease in healthy Tibetan pigs in Linzhi city,Tibet.232 samples were collected from the slaughterhouse in Bahe town,Gongbujiangda county,Linzhi city,Tibet,the teaching practice ranch at the Tibet Agriculture and Animal Husbandry University in Bayi district,Linzhi city,and the slaughterhouse in Bayi district,Linzhi city.These samples were isolated,cultured and identified,and one isolated strain was systematically studied for biological characteristics.Epidemiological survey results showed that 73 of 232 samples were positive for Staphylococcus,the positive rate was 31.47%,16 positive samples were detected in the slaughterhouse of Bahe town,Gongbujiangda county,Linzhi,Tibet,with a detection rate of 23.89%(16/67),43 positive samples were detected in the pastures of the teaching practice ranch at the Tibet Agriculture and Animal Husbandry University in Bayi district,Linzhi city,with a detection rate of 34.40% (43/125),14 positive samples were detected in the slanghterhouse in Bayi district,Linzhi city,with a detection rate of 35.00% (14/40).Through PCR identification,gene sequencing and biochemical identification,5 strains of Staphylococcus chromogenes were isolated,and one of them (Sa LZ1) was studied systematically.The biological characteristics of the isolated strains showed that the Sa LZ1 strain formed round white convex colonies on the agar medium,with regular edges,smooth surfaces,and opaque white colonies.The isolates were Gram-positive cocci bacteria.PCR sequencing results showed that the isolate had the highest homology with Staphylococcus chromogenes (GenBank accession No.:MG576253.1),positive for serum inulin,manicol,glucose,saccharose,lactose,negative for arabinose,sodium hippurate,raffinose,xylose,urea,etc,consistent with the biochemical characteristics of Staphylococcus chromogenes.The logarithmic growth period of isolated bacteria was 5 to 10 h.The pathogenicity test of mice showed that the mortality rate of mice reached 100% when the concentration of Sa LZ1 strain reached 3.5×10⁹ CFU/mL.And the results of pathological section showed that Sa LZ1 strain could cause the visceral tissue of mice to develop pathological changes.The above results provided a theoretical basis for the prevention and control of Staphylococcus suis in Linzhi,Tibet.

多不饱和脂肪酸对动物精液品质影响的研究进展

多不饱和脂肪酸(PUFA)主要分为ω-3 PUFA和ω-6 PUFA,是精子质膜脂质的主要成分,对精子抗氧化、提高精子质膜流动性、维持精子结构完整性及睾酮合成等具有重要作用。不同类型PUFA对精液品质的作用有所不同,ω-6 PUFA中的花生四烯酸(AA)能够促进睾酮的分泌,但精浆中过量的AA可能诱导氧化应激;亚油酸(LA)同样可提高体内睾酮水平,共轭亚油酸(CLA)可降低精子的氧化应激;动物体内少量的二十二碳五烯酸(DPA)不仅能参与精子的运输过程,还能提高精子的抗氧化能力。ω-3 PUFA中的α-亚麻酸(ALA)具有抗氧化作用并能刺激睾酮的合成,二十二碳六烯酸(DHA)作用与ALA相似,可提高精子的抗氧化能力,同时可促进睾酮合成;二十碳五烯酸(EPA)对精子结构及睾酮合成具有调节作用。适当的ω-6/ω-3 PUFA比例对精子的活力、质膜结构、脂质组成和顶体反应均具有重要的调节作用。PUFA对精子的作用可因添加的方式、类型、ω-6/ω-3PUFA的比例及动物种类的不同而有所不同。近年来,PUFA对动物精液品质作用的相关研究取得了较大进展,但其提高精液品质的作用机制仍需进一步深入探讨。作者综述了在饲粮或精液稀释液中添加不同类型的ω-3 PUFA、ω-6 PUFA及ω-6/ω-3 PUFA比例对精子的影响,以期为深入了解PUFA在动物精液生产中的应用提供理论参考。

Investigation of Co-infection of PPV7 and PCV2 and Genetic Variation Analysis for PPV7 Cap Gene in Fujian and Guangdong

【Objective】 To investigate the co-infection situation of Porcine parvovirus (PPV7) and Porcine circovirus type 2 (PCV2)in Fujian and Guangdong, and to understand the molecular genetic characteristics of PPV7 Cap gene.【Method】 The blood sample of 432 infected pigs from 69 pig farms in Fujian and Guangdong were collected to detect PPV7 and PCV2 by PCR.The PPV7 Cap gene of positive samples was cloned and sequenced.The DNAStar software was used to analyze the nucleotide and amino acid sequences of PPV7 Cap gene, and Mega 7.0 software was used to draw the genetic evolution tree.【Result】 The results showed that the positive rate of PPV7 was 21.99% (96/432), the positive rate of farms was 53.62%(37/69), and the positive rate of PCV2 was 54.17% (234/432), and the co-infection rate of PCV2 and PPV7 was 13.43% (58/432).The 17 PPV7 Cap gene sequences were amplified using PCR.Nucleotide homology analysis revealed that the homology of the 17 PPV7 Cap gene sequences was 85.6%-100%, and the homology with reference strains was 85.8%-99.0%.Amino acid sequence comparison analysis revealed that the amino acid homology of the 17 PPV7 Cap protein sequences was 87.6%-100%, and the amino acid homology with reference strains was 82.6%-98.7%.Phylogenetic analysis of Cap gene showed that PPV7 could be divided into five main evolutionary branches of PPV7a-PPV7e, among which 9 isolates belonged to PPV7a subtype, 3 isolates belonged to PPV7b subtype, 4 isolates belong to PPV7c subtype, and only 1 isolates isolates belonged to PPV7e subtype.【Conclusion】 This study indicated that PPV7 was widely prevalent in Fujian and Guangdong regions, and had a high co-infection rate with PCV2, which might be the pathogenic factor of Porcine circovirus associated disease(PCVAD).The genetic diversity of PPV7 isolates was abudant in both regions, and PPV7a was the dominant strain at present.The findings of this study provided theoretical basis and data reference for PPV7 prevention and control and vaccine research.
