Effect of rhIL-10 on IL-6 and TNF-α levels in serum and liver of lipopolysaccharide-challenged mice

AIM: To investigate the effect of recombinant human interleukin-10 (rhIL-10) on IL-6 and TNF-α levels in serum and liver of mice exposed to lipopolysaccharide (LPS). METHODS: rhIL-10 was prepared by using genetic engineering technology. Mice were intraperitoneally with 500 μg of LPS, and then were treated intravenously with various dosages of rhIL-10. The levels of IL-6 and TNF-α in hepatic tissue and serum were determined by ELISA at 12 h, 24 h, 48 h and 72 h post rhIL-10 treatment. RESULTS: rhIL-10 markedly inhibited the increase in IL-6 and TNF-α levels in hepatic tissue and serum at 12 h after rhIL-10 treatment in LPS-challenged mice, and the inhibition effect was significant at 24-48 h after rhIL-10 treatment （P＜0.05）. CONCLUSION: rhIL-10 can inhibit the increase in IL-6 and TNF-α levels induced by LPS in mice.     

Intrathymic inoculation of liver specific antigen protects hepatocytes from apoptosis after liver allotransplantation

AIM: To study the effects of intrathymic inoculation of liver specific antigen (LSA) on hepatocyte apoptosis after liver allotransplantation. METHODS: Orthotopic liver transplantation was used in this study. Group Ⅰ: syngenic control (Wistar-to-Wistar); Group Ⅱ: acute rejection (SD-to-Wistar); Group Ⅲ: thymus inoculation of SD rat LSA day 7 before transplantation. The observation of general situation and survival time, hepatocyte apoptosis and LAT expression in liver transplants were used to analyze immune state of animals in different groups. RESULTS: The general situation of group Ⅰ was very well after transplantation. Recipients of groupⅡ lost body weight progressively and all died within day 9 to day 13 post transplantation. As for group Ⅲ, the general situation of recipients was remarkably better than that in group Ⅱ. The positive cells of apoptosis in group Ⅲ detected by TUNEL were not significantly different from that in group Ⅰ, but was significantly lower than that in group Ⅱ. LAT was detected at any time in group Ⅱ with peak expression at day 5 and day 7 post transplantation. In contrast, LAT was not detected in any other groups. CONCLUSION: Intrathymic inoculation of LSA protects hepatocytes from apoptosis after liver allotransplantation.     

利用巢式PCR快速鉴定牛传染性鼻气管炎

为了快速检测牛传染性鼻气管炎,采用SDS-蛋白酶K法,提取病毒模板DNA。根据IBRV gB基因序列设计了1对特异引物,在其上下游引物的内侧又分别设计了1对引物,以这4条引物对IBRV模板进行扩增。结果成功扩增出预期目的片段,建立了巢式PCR检测方法。敏感性、特异性等检测试验结果表明该方法能特异检测IBR病毒。本方法具有快速、灵敏、特异的优点,适用于在牛及其遗传物质的进出口检疫中进行牛传染性鼻气管炎快速病原鉴定。     

马传染性贫血病毒驴白细胞弱毒疫苗株囊膜基因的优化及其DNA疫苗体外瞬时表达研究

马传染性贫血病毒(Equine infectious anemia virus,EIAV)的密码子使用频率与哺乳动物间存在着明显差异。为此,对马传染性贫血病毒驴白细胞弱毒疫苗株(DLA-EIAV)囊膜全长基因按照哺乳动物优势密码子的使用原则进行了重新设计和合成,并以此为基础通过重叠延伸PCR、限制酶切等方法得到结合型和分泌型囊膜基因,将其插入含有鸡beta-actin/兔beta-globin复合启动子(AG)的高效表达载体pCAGGS中,构建了EIAV驴白细胞弱毒疫苗株结合型和分泌型囊膜基因的DNA疫苗质粒pCAGGS-opti-bou-env、pCAGGS- opti-sec-env。将构建的质粒纯化后分别转染293T细胞,以间接免疫荧光和Western blot方法检测转染48 h后细胞及上清中囊膜蛋白的表达。结果显示,两种表达质粒均可正确表达EIAV囊膜蛋白,与相对应未优化的表达载体pCAGGS-wt-bou-env和pCAGGS-wt-sec—env相比,密码子优化的基因体外瞬时表达水平有极为显著的提高,而且蛋白表达部位也与预期的结果符合。这一结果为EIAV囊膜蛋白的单抗制备、表位鉴定、免疫试验、新疫苗的开发等奠定了基础。     

Construction and expression analysis of idiotype TCR Vβ2 DNA vaccine in vitro

AIM:To develop an anti-lymphoblastic leukemia TCR idiotypic DNA vaccine, analyze its transfer activity into K562 cells and to detect its expression in vitro. METHODS:The TCR Vβ2 gene segment, which was identified from an idiotypic TCR Vβ2 clone-Molt4 cell line, was amplified using RT-PCR, and the PCR products were then cloned into pIRES vector. The recombinant plasmids were transferred into K562 cells. The condition of idiotypic protein expression was tested by indirect immunophenotyping fluorescein dyeing, SDS-PAGE and Western blotting. RESULTS:The recombinant DNA plasmid, pIRES-TCR Vβ2, was developed successfully. The expression of TCR Vβ2 was identified on the surface of K562 cells. A 15 kD protein, which bound to TCR Vβ2 antibody specifically, were identified from pIRES-TCR Vβ2 transfected K562 cells by Western blotting, indicating that TCR Vβ2 protein was expressed in vitro. CONCLUSION:The recombinant plasmid pIRES-TCR Vβ2 DNA vaccine was developed successfully, which was expressed TCR Vβ2 protein specifically in transfected K562 cells.     

Chronic cigarette smoking induces alteration of FIZZ1/RELMα expression in rat lung

AIM: To investigate the expression of FIZZ1/RELMα in lung tissue of chronic cigarette smoking rat, and to determine the relationship between airway inflammation and airway hyperresponsiveness. METHODS: Made rat model of chronic cigarette smoking was used. The expression of FIZZ1/RELMα in lung tissue was determined by immuno-histochemistry and in situ hybridization. RESULTS: In control rats, FIZZ1/RELMα protein and mRNA expressions were observed at low levels. In cigarette smoking rats, FIZZ1/RELMα expression increased in all the cells especially in bronchial smooth muscle cells, vascular wall cells and alveolar epithelial cells. CONCLUSION: FIZZ1/RELMα is a secreted peptide specifically expressed in lung. Cigarette smoking induces its upregulation, which possibly contributes to cigarette smoking-induced airway hyperresponsiveness.     

盐胁迫下嫁接伽师甜瓜植株生长与多胺以及多胺氧化酶活性的关系

3种浓度NaCl对嫁接伽师瓜植株生长和产量没有显著抑制作用,而对自根伽师瓜植株的生长和产量产生明显的抑制作用,并随处理浓度的提高抑制作用明显增强。150mmol/L的NaCl胁迫35d嫁接伽师甜瓜植株叶片和根系中的3种形态多胺都有不同程度的下降,其中游离态多胺下降幅度最大;高氯酸不溶性结合态多胺含量变化较小。根系中PAO的活性先上升后下降,而叶片中PAO的活性先下降后上升。游离态多胺中,亚精胺和精胺(Spd+Spm)的含量变化与相应部位PAO的活性变化趋势相反,表明PAO在盐胁迫下可能调节了游离态多胺的含量从而影响高氯酸可溶结合态与高氯酸不溶结合态多胺的含量。     

秋季叶面喷施IAA、6-BA或GA_3对草莓植株的影响

为了探讨植物生长调节剂对秋季草莓苗植株质量的调控,以法国3号草莓(Fragaria×ananassa Duch cv.French3)为材料,研究秋季叶面喷施50mg/L IAA、50mg/L6-BA或25mg/L GA3对草莓苗叶片光合作用、活性氧代谢和植株质量的影响。结果表明,晚秋叶面喷施这3种植物生长调节剂显著提高了叶片的净光合速率和叶绿素a、b含量,提高了SOD和CAT酶活性,同时降低了MDA和活性氧含量。另外,这3种植物生长调节剂处理显著增加草莓茎和根系的干重,使根冠比增加,IAA和6-BA处理还显著提高平均单株花量。因此,秋季叶面喷施50mg/LIAA和50mg/L6-BA可提高草莓苗植株质量。
